## About this episode

Texas faces a catastrophic infrastructure collapse as a historic winter storm triggers widespread water shortages and power grid failures. Senator Ted Cruz drew national condemnation for his Cancun travel during the crisis, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leveraged the disaster to raise $3 million for relief and promote Green New Deal policy goals. The failure of the independent ERCOT grid has reignited intense debates over federalization and the reliability of deregulated energy markets.

Energy providers like Gritty are issuing massive bills to consumers as wholesale prices skyrocket, while financial firms like Morgan Stanley face scrutiny for market speculation. Beyond the freeze, the Cuomo administration in New York is under federal investigation for allegedly undercounting nursing home deaths by fifty percent. International tensions rise as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implements mandatory hotel quarantines in Canada, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte maintains strict curfews despite local court challenges. Meanwhile, aviation authorities investigate Boeing 777 engine failures over Denver and the Netherlands involving Pratt & Whitney hardware.

Distinctive moments include a breakdown of the Ford F-150 hybrid’s ability to power homes during blackouts and a look at the "Build Back Better" slogan's globalist origins. The show honors the legacy of the late Rush Limbaugh while analyzing the "frozen" facial expressions of Joe Biden. Executive Producer Parker Pauly provides the episode art as the community explores the "value for value" model through federated social media.

### 8. Energy Market Speculation, Morgan Stanley, and Liquidated Damages (17:32–19:46)

An anonymous utility engineer reported that financial players like Morgan Stanley take significant risks in the energy market by buying future contracts and selling them before execution. When these firms fail to deliver energy, they often pay relatively small liquidated damages fees compared to their potential profits. The discussion compares the Texas situation to California's history with Enron and PG&E's current practice of preemptive blackouts to prevent forest fires.

### 9. Rick Perry, Winterization Warnings, and Energy Policy History (19:47–21:46)

Texas regulators were warned after a 2011 winter storm to winterize the state's power infrastructure, but the measures were never made mandatory due to high costs. Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry had previously advocated for more nuclear and coal power to ensure grid reliability, but faced political pushback for favoring those fuel types. Data from ERCOT indicates that nuclear and coal remained the most stable energy sources during the 2021 freeze.

### 12. Water Trickling Advice, Main Breaks, and Houston Crisis (26:10–28:40)

Conflicting advice regarding trickling faucets led to confusion during the Texas freeze, with some cities eventually asking residents to stop the practice to conserve water pressure. However, stopping the trickle reportedly contributed to frozen pipes and subsequent main breaks when the system backed up. The situation remains particularly dire in Houston, where infrastructure damage is expected to take a long time to repair.

### 16. WHO Variant Naming, Stigmatization, and Political Correctness (35:55–37:44)

The World Health Organization's Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove urged the public and media to stop using geographic labels like "South African variant" or "UK variant." The WHO aims to remove stigmatization against countries that identify mutations, preferring technical names like 501Y.V2. This shift in nomenclature is compared to other politically correct language changes in public health reporting.

### 17. Mark Rutte, Dutch Curfew Court Case, and Lockdown Protests (37:45–41:20)

A Dutch court initially ruled that the government's COVID-19 curfew was an inappropriate use of power, though the government successfully challenged the ruling to keep the restriction in place until a March 3rd hearing. Acting Prime Minister Mark Rutte faced tough questioning from the BBC regarding social polarization and the "benefits scandal" that led to his government's resignation. Reports indicate Dutch youth are using lookout systems to evade police during curfew hours.

### 19. Anthony Fauci, UK Fear Porn, and BBC Plague Village Report (42:54–47:31)

Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted that life in the U.S. might return to normal by Christmas 2021, a timeline skeptics view as a way to extend restrictions into the next flu season. In the UK, the government and BBC have been criticized for "fear porn" messaging, including a report on the historic "plague village" of Eyam. The report used the village's 1665 quarantine history to justify modern school closures, despite showing that isolation did not prevent historic deaths.

### 23. Council on Foreign Relations, Darwinian Law, and Mutation Errors (56:20–58:03)

A podcast from the Council on Foreign Relations featured a discussion on "Darwinian law" and virus mutations. During the segment, a speaker mistakenly stated that "vaccines are mutating" both overseas and at home, rather than the virus itself. The error went uncorrected during the broadcast, highlighting a lack of quality control in high-level policy discussions.

### 24. Pfizer Vaccine Storage, Dosing Delays, and Israeli Study (58:04–1:00:30)

A new Israeli study published in The Lancet suggests that a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine is 85% effective, supporting the UK's policy of delaying second doses. Pfizer also submitted data to the FDA showing their vaccine can be stored in standard pharmacy freezers rather than ultra-cold units. This revelation raises questions about the necessity of the massive prior investment in specialty deep-freeze infrastructure.

### 27. Military Vaccine Refusal, 82nd Airborne, and "Jab" Terminology (1:04:37–1:07:08)

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reported a surprisingly low vaccine acceptance rate among U.S. troops, with fewer than half of the elite 82nd Airborne Division agreeing to the shot. While the military has historically mandated vaccines like anthrax, the COVID-19 vaccine remains voluntary under its current emergency use authorization. Observers also noted the sudden shift in American media toward using the British term "jab" instead of "shot."

### 31. Rush Limbaugh Legacy, iHeartMedia Strategy, and Future Formats (1:14:54–1:17:21)

Following the death of Rush Limbaugh, iHeartMedia plans to continue his time slot by airing "best of" clips curated to match current news events. Critics argue this is a poor strategy and suggest that a younger host should take over the three-hour live format to provide fresh commentary. The 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET time slot remains a highly valuable piece of radio real estate after Limbaugh's 30-year tenure.

Producer Parker Pauly contributed art and a donation, reflecting on the "value for value" model.

Producers in Chicago and Nashville announced upcoming meetups, including a gathering at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.

### 39. Joe Biden, Botox, and Emotional Expression (1:45:16–1:49:08)

A discussion regarding Joe Biden's physical appearance suggests that his "frozen" forehead is the result of heavy Botox use rather than a prosthetic mask or body double. Experts in plastic surgery note that Botox in the forehead can lift the eyes but also physically limits the ability to show expression. Research suggests that being unable to perform facial movements like smiling can actually inhibit the corresponding internal emotional responses.

### 40. Rush Limbaugh Eulogies, Matt Taibbi, and Media Bias (1:49:08–1:54:19)

The death of Rush Limbaugh prompted a wave of critical eulogies from journalists like Matt Taibbi and S.E. Cupp, which the hosts characterized as "stumping on a grave." Limbaugh's early career, including a failed TV show on ABC that was reportedly sabotaged by a hostile audience, was discussed as a turning point in his career. Critics of Limbaugh are accused of cherry-picking 35 years of content to paint him as a "hate-spinner" without acknowledging his comedic roots.

### 41. Riley Williams, Pelosi Laptop, and SVR Allegations (1:54:21–1:57:26)

During the impeachment trial, charging documents for Riley Williams alleged she intended to steal a laptop from Nancy Pelosi's office to sell to the SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service. Media outlets used this allegation to suggest the January 6th Capitol riot was infiltrated by foreign spies. Critics pointed out that the "quote" used by journalists was actually a summary from a document rather than a direct statement from the accused.

Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi discussed the theory that Donald Trump was in contact with Vladimir Putin during the Capitol riot, continuing a long-standing Democratic focus on Russian interference. Figures like Susan Rice and Joy Reid have previously attributed various U.S. domestic issues, including the George Floyd protests and the ADOS movement, to Russian bots. Rachel Maddow even suggested that Russia could freeze Americans by hacking the power grid, a claim revisited during the Texas freeze.

Dave Winer, a co-founder of podcasting, published a ten-point memo regarding the January 6th insurrection, labeling all Trump supporters as "traitors" and "insurrectionists." Winer argued that the two sides of the country can no longer coexist and that people should turn their backs on family members who support Trump. This stance is cited as an example of the extreme "cult-like" polarization currently affecting American political discourse.

McKinsey & Company agreed to a $573 million settlement for its role in "turbocharging" the sales of OxyContin for Purdue Pharma. The consulting firm reportedly instructed sales reps on how to bypass FDA restrictions and target doctors to increase prescriptions. This story has received limited coverage in mainstream media, likely due to the firm's deep ties to the CIA and political figures like Pete Buttigieg.

### 45. Sky News Australia, Joe Biden, and Dementia Claims (2:12:02–2:14:27)

Sky News Australia aired a blunt editorial claiming that President Joe Biden is struggling with dementia and is unfit for office. The segment highlighted that while Biden was "napping" or playing Mario Kart, Vice President Kamala Harris was taking calls with foreign leaders, a task usually reserved for the President. The Australian media's willingness to discuss Biden's perceived lack of capacity is contrasted with the "sanitized" coverage in the U.S.

The Washington Post editorial board published an opinion piece claiming that Bitcoin's boom will not dethrone the dollar.

Despite the skepticism from legacy media, Bitcoin's price reached a milestone of over $58,000.

Google has a long history of failed social media attempts, including Orkut, Buzz, and Google Plus. Orkut was notably successful in Brazil before being shut down, while Google Plus failed to gain traction against Facebook. The hosts suggest that Google could regain public favor and damage its competitors by bringing back Google Reader and fully supporting RSS, which would empower independent bloggers and podcasters.

### 49. Ozy Media, Carlos Watson, and Laurene Powell Jobs (2:22:08–2:26:31)

Ozy Media, led by Carlos Watson, is being promoted as a major media entity for millennials, though critics suggest its traffic numbers are inflated.

Ozy recently faced a lawsuit from Ozzy Osbourne for trademark infringement regarding their "OzyFest" event, which many consumers confused with the rock star's "Ozzfest."

A host recounted a negative experience with Ozy Media where they were interviewed under the guise of promotion, only to be told the content would be "archived" rather than published. The interviewer was reportedly unprepared and lacked basic research on the subject's background. This tactic of collecting interviews for a database without immediate publication is cited as evidence of Ozy's questionable business model.

Carlos Watson, a former McKinsey consultant, has raised over $70 million for Ozy Media since 2013. The company has recently "pivoted" from digital news to producing TV shows for major networks, a move skeptics view as a way to burn through remaining venture capital. The operation is described as a "Silicon Valley job" where a losing operation is eventually sold to a larger entity to protect investors like Larry Sonsini.

The landing of the Mars rover Perseverance was compared by NPR to "throwing a dart from D.C. and hitting a bullseye in Dallas." This analogy prompted a look back at the 1999 CIA bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, which was officially called an accident despite three precision missiles hitting the target. Additionally, the "Build Back Better" slogan used by Joe Biden is noted as being identical to phrases used by leaders in the UK, Netherlands, and the UN.
