## About this episode

Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne claims he participated in a federal political espionage operation targeting Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton under the direction of the Deep State. Byrne alleges Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to expose these bureaucratic maneuvers, which follow Byrne’s revealed romantic ties to Russian agent Maria Butina. The fallout from these public statements has triggered extreme volatility for Overstock stock as the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein estate deepens.

Internal Google documents leaked by whistleblower Zach Vorhies reveal the use of twiddlers to manually down-rank conservative news outlets like Breitbart and Infowars. These C++ snippets allow engineers to re-rank search results to satisfy Machine Learning Fairness quotas, while internal guides titled Resist at Google provide employees with specific political protest slogans. Meanwhile, Attorney General Bill Barr is pressuring tech firms for exceptional access to encrypted data through virtual alligator clips, a move critics argue facilitates financial espionage rather than public safety.

Former reporter Judith Miller questions the official suicide narrative of Jeffrey Epstein during a Fox News appearance, citing shifting facts from federal authorities. CNN anchor Chris Cuomo faces backlash after a viral confrontation where he claimed the name Fredo is an ethnic slur equivalent to the N-word. The episode concludes with a look at the 15th anniversary of the Daily Source Code and the knighting of Sir Matt of the Zeta Reticuli Star System.

### 1. CBS News, Philadelphia Police Shooting Coverage Bias (0:00–6:25)

CBS News is criticized for its coverage of a Philadelphia standoff involving Maurice Hill, who shot six police officers during a narcotics warrant execution. Reports suggest the network initially aired footage of a white hostage surrendering to imply the shooter was white, despite Hill being black. The discrepancy in live coverage between Fox News and left-leaning outlets like CNN and MSNBC is noted as evidence of racial narrative filtering in mass shooting reports.

### 33. Trump Tax Cuts, Opportunity Zones, Gentrification (2:01:13–2:07:50)

The Trump tax cuts introduced "Opportunity Zones," which allow investors to defer capital gains by investing in distressed neighborhoods. In Austin, over 800 such zones have been established, leading to rapid gentrification as older housing is replaced by luxury apartments for tech workers. Critics argue this process is accelerating the homelessness crisis by pushing low-income residents out of their communities.

Two new experimental drugs, including one from Regeneron, have shown survival rates as high as 94% in clinical trials for Ebola.

Captagon, a potent amphetamine, has become a major illicit export from Lebanon and Syria to the Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia.

A retrospective look at a 2010 episode shows the hosts previously discussed class-action lawsuits against Reglan for these symptoms. The recent emergence of new drugs to treat the condition is framed as a cycle of pharmaceutical companies profiting from the side effects of their own products.
