Show Notes

___

On this edition of Middle Theory, we focus on the atrocious terror attack on a concert in Manchester, England, for which the Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

As we kick things off, The Mouth and McNonymous take a strange (and humorous) trip down memory lane, before getting into the latest news, which includes a very interesting story told by Guardians of the Galaxy star Kurt Russell, as well as highlights from President Trump’s visit with the Pope. We also examine recent audio from the House Intelligence Committee’s hearings, during which Trey Gowdy asked some difficult questions of former CIA Chief John Brennan. What do Brennan’s answers tell us about the ongoing investigation into Russian collusion and influence during the 2016 election? Then turning our attention to the horrific attacks that occurred at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, we examine the latest news pertaining to the attack, and ask what, if anything, can truly be done to aid in preventing further similar attacks. We ask that our listeners send thoughts and prayers out to the families of victims, in addition to support for Manchester, its people, and the communities involved. ___
