Summary

The guys discuss rumors of a looming peace agreement with Iran, noting that the WSJ Opinion Page is vehemently opposed to it. They then discus Rep. Thomas Massie losing his re-election bid in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, after a massive infusion of campaign cash from AIPAC. Next, the lads turn their attention to Dr. Eric Weinstein and his attempt to transcend Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. Finally, Brian plays a video that raises questions about the late physicist Stephen Hawking. Get full access to System Failure at www.systemfailure.org/subscribe
