Miss America 2018, Ventriloquism, North Dakota Winner
The hosts perform a "television producer" deconstruction of the Miss America pageant. They praise a ventriloquist act but critique the overall selection of contestants, noting that "genuine beauties" are often overlooked. Cara Mund of North Dakota is crowned the winner, though the hosts compare her appearance to Marie Osmond and Miley Cyrus.
Halifax International Security Forum, Fortress North America
Senator John McCain led a congressional delegation to the Halifax International Security Forum to discuss the creation of a "Fortress North America." McCain used the threat of ISIS to justify increased military cooperation and spending between the United States and Canada.
G20 Summit Logo, Jose Manuel Barroso Blames North America
The G20 summit logo is analyzed for perceived Illuminati symbolism, specifically a pyramid with a central eye. During the summit, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso blamed the global financial crisis on "unorthodox practices" originating in North America. This rhetoric is dismissed as an attempt by European leaders to deflect responsibility for the Eurozone's internal failures.
Bank of America Symbolism and Corporate History
The headquarters of Bank of America in North Carolina is noted for having creepy murals containing Masonic and 33rd-degree symbolism similar to the Denver Airport. The bank's transition from the San Francisco-based Bank of Italy to its current corporate structure in Charlotte is discussed. The hosts express dissatisfaction with the bank's customer service and corporate culture since the merger.
