## About this episode

A leaked database containing records of nearly two million Chinese Communist Party members reveals deep infiltration into global corporations and government agencies. This massive data breach, detailing names and national ID numbers, surfaces as Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe confirms Hunter Biden’s laptop is not Russian disinformation. The investigation into the Biden family now shifts toward money laundering and tax fraud involving Chinese business interests.

Representative Eric Swalwell faces intense scrutiny from Senator Marco Rubio following reports of his ties to suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang. In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly authorized the Canadian military to train Chinese People's Liberation Army troops in cold weather warfare despite warnings from the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the State of Texas filed a Supreme Court lawsuit challenging election results in four states, sparking a media firestorm that compares the legal move to the 1860 secession. At the Jericho March in Washington D.C., MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Alex Jones framed the political landscape as a spiritual battle, while General Michael Flynn addressed supporters regarding Executive Order 13848 and foreign election interference.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the theatrical media coverage of the Pfizer vaccine rollout, comparing NBC’s dramatic framing to the moon landing. Adam reports from a bustling Taverna restaurant in Austin, where patrons largely ignore Mayor Steve Adler’s Stage Five restrictions. The duo also explores the mechanism of Moderna’s mRNA technology and predicts Joe Rogan will eventually exit his Spotify exclusivity deal due to app limitations.
