648: Centrifuge Him!

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Charity Finances, Haiti Relief

The hosts critique the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, noting that a large percentage of donations go toward overhead and executive salaries rather than research. They compare the viral trend to the $6 billion raised for Haiti relief, much of which they claim was stolen or mismanaged by the Clinton Foundation while Haitians continued to suffer from cholera.

Clinton Foundation Transparency and Bono's One Campaign

The hosts criticize the Clinton Foundation for failing to release its 2009 annual report, suggesting the numbers are being scrubbed to protect Hillary Clinton's future political prospects. They compare this to Bono's "One" campaign, which reportedly spent more on executive salaries and promotional "freebies" (like Starbucks coffee and Moleskine notebooks) than on actual charitable aid in 2008.
