## About this episode

Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on the House floor wearing a ceremonial mace pin to announce a strategic delay in transmitting articles of impeachment to the Senate. This maneuver aims to pressure Mitch McConnell over trial rules while extending the media cycle surrounding Donald Trump. The President responded with a six-page letter to the House, which the New York Times and other outlets characterized as a deranged screed, though legal analysts suggest the document was a professionally structured argument intended to bypass media filters.

Representative Devin Nunes linked the current Ukraine investigation to the Steele Dossier and the Russia collusion narrative, characterizing the proceedings as a coordinated Plan B by intelligence officials. Meanwhile, One America News reported on a Ukrainian indictment alleging a money-laundering trail involving Hunter Biden and Burisma. In the UK, Professor David Starkey analyzed Boris Johnson’s electoral victory as a mandate for patriotism, while Nigel Farage delivered a final speech to the European Parliament celebrating the UK’s exit from the prison of nations. Tech culture continues to shift as Facebook partners with retailers like Macy’s to track offline purchases, and Amazon profits from neighborhood fear by marketing Ring surveillance footage of package thefts.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate the 1200th episode milestone from Austin, Texas, reflecting on twelve years of the value-for-value model. Representative Matt Gaetz gave the show a nod by using the phrase no agenda during his floor remarks. The ceremony included the elevation of Baron Sir Dreb Scott to Viscount and a discussion on why the show keeps the human amygdala small, firm, and round.
