A volcanologist reports that the decision to shut down European airspace due to Icelandic volcanic ash was "definitely exaggerated." The hosts note that the flight ban was initiated by the United Kingdom rather than the official volcanic ash alert center in Toulouse, France. This discrepancy leads to a theory that the grounding of flights was a political tool used during the UK election cycle.

The hosts discuss "Ashgate," questioning the severity of the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud that grounded European flights. They explore a theory that the flight ban was a ruse to prevent world leaders, including Barack Obama, from attending the funeral of the Polish president following a plane crash, or a way to manipulate global warming data.
