We begin with an analysis of the trifecta of scandal, the IRS, Benghazi and the AP that is supposed to be crippling the White House. For some context we turn to award-winning investigative journalist Mark Feldstein, the author of “Poisoning the Press: Richard Nixon, Jack Anderson and the Rise of Washington’s Scandal Culture”, and discuss the "doctored" White House emails that  were leaked to The Weekly Standard and ABC News to breathe new life into the so-called Benghazi scandal and whether there is a “there” there, and what Obama should do to put these manufactured scandals to rest.mark feldstein

Then, with recent revelations that Air Force personnel in charge of launching nuclear missiles have been relieved from their posts due to poor morale, we look into the Dr. Strangelovian world of why those who baby sit these Cold War relics under the prairies of North Dakota are disciplined because they recognize the futility of what they are doing. While those who were prepared to destroy the world during the Cold War were given promotions. Rudolf Herzog, the author of “A Short History of Nuclear Folly: Mad Scientists, Dithering Nazis, Lost Nukes, and Catastrophic Cover-ups” joins us to discuss the dark comedy of the nuclear age that still lives on.
