## About this episode

Ahmad Al-Aliwi Al-Issa faces charges following a mass shooting at a King Soopers in Boulder, Colorado, that left ten people dead. President Joe Biden immediately called for the U.S. Senate to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, targeting the so-called Charleston loophole. While Governor Jared Polis previously signed Red Flag laws to allow firearm seizures, the suspect legally purchased a Ruger AR-556 despite a prior criminal record.

Pfizer has launched human trials for an oral antiviral COVID-19 pill while simultaneously running Broadway-style marketing campaigns to promote the American Rescue Plan. In the Suez Canal, the Evergreen cargo ship remains wedged, halting global trade and threatening oil price spikes. Meanwhile, the Director of National Intelligence released a report reclassifying domestic violent extremists, and Sidney Powell filed a motion to dismiss the $1.3 billion Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit, arguing her election claims were protected political speech. Dr. Hooman Noorchashm warned on national television against mass vaccination for those with prior infections, citing risks of avoidable medical harm.

One pilot at San Jose Mineta International Airport learned the hard way to check his equipment after a profanity-laced rant against the city was broadcast over an open air traffic control frequency. Between discussions of mercury detoxing for Tourette’s Syndrome and the release of a new children’s book about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the value-for-value model continues to thrive via the Bitcoin Lightning Network and the Breeze app.

### 1. Boulder Colorado Grocery Store Shooting, Media Narrative Discrepancies (0:00–9:42)

A mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, results in ten fatalities. Media coverage from NPR and Fox News is contrasted, specifically regarding the speed at which a racial or religious motive was assigned compared to the Atlanta spa shootings. The suspect, 21-year-old Ahmad Al-Aliwi Al-Issa, is described by family as paranoid and antisocial, while reports indicate he purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol shortly before the attack.

### 3. Colorado Red Flag Laws, Second Amendment Controversy (18:52–26:14)

Colorado's "Red Flag" law, signed by Governor Jared Polis in 2019, allows for the temporary confiscation of firearms from individuals deemed dangerous. State Senator Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, advocates for the law despite pushback from local sheriffs who view it as unconstitutional. Statistics from the law's first year show approximately 150 petitions filed, leading to weapon seizures in 66 cases, including one involving a man with 59 firearms.

### 4. Gun Control Efficacy, Assault Style Weapon Terminology (26:15–36:52)

The efficacy of Colorado's strict gun laws is questioned following the Boulder shooting, as the suspect legally purchased his firearm despite a prior criminal record. There is a critique of the term "assault-style weapon," arguing that it focuses on aesthetic features like heat shields and plastic stocks rather than mechanical function. The discussion highlights the political backlash in Colorado, where two state senators were previously recalled for supporting gun control measures.

### 5. Filibuster Origins, Fareed Zakaria Etymology Critique (36:55–41:03)

Fareed Zakaria's explanation of the word "filibuster" is challenged. While Zakaria traces the term to the Dutch word for pirate or "freebooter" (vrijbuiter) to imply personal gain, an alternative interpretation is offered where the term represents "free men" acting independently. The hosts adopt the term "Freibauter" to describe their own independent approach to media deconstruction.

### 8. Global Vaccine Distribution, Israel and European Lockdowns (53:31–56:33)

Israel leads the world in vaccination rates, with 80% of citizens over 60 immunized, leading to the implementation of "green passes" for travel. In contrast, mainland Europe faces surging infections and new lockdowns in cities like Paris. The European rollout is hampered by supply issues and concerns over blood clots linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, which regulators maintain is safe.

### 9. Vaccine Equity, US Stockpiling and Futures Contracts (56:34–1:04:24)

The World Health Organization (WHO) criticizes rich nations for "snatching up" vaccine contracts, creating a global disparity in access. The United States currently holds 30 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in storage, which the Biden administration plans to "lend" to Mexico and Canada. The situation is described as a result of the U.S. buying "futures" on vaccine production, effectively acting as a global drug dealer.

### 11. Antibody Dependent Enhancement, Vaccine Safety Concerns (1:09:18–1:16:48)

Concerns are raised regarding Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), a phenomenon where a vaccine can cause a more severe immune response when the individual is later exposed to the wild virus. Historical trials for SARS and MERS vaccines in ferrets and monkeys resulted in high mortality rates due to immune system overreaction. The lack of long-term safety data for current mRNA injections is highlighted as a primary reason for hesitancy among healthcare workers.

### 28. Equal Pay Day, Gender and Racial Wage Gap (3:02:42–3:13:18)

President Joe Biden marks "Equal Pay Day" by citing statistics on the wage gap between men and women, further broken down by race. The data shows AAPI women earning 87 cents for every dollar earned by white men, while black and Native American women earn significantly less. The hosts question the logic of combining gender and race in these statistics, suggesting it leads to "discriminatory discrimination" narratives.
