## About this episode

Pfizer is reportedly bypassing traditional celebrity endorsements to pay TikTok and Instagram influencers thousands of dollars for vaccine promotion videos. These digital campaigns, featuring dance routines and viral trends, often omit mandatory FTC disclosures while framing the pharmaceutical brand as a high-status social symbol. Meanwhile, the 2021 Kentucky Derby faces international backlash over the participation of a horse owned by the Prince of Dubai, whose daughter remains the subject of global human rights concerns following her alleged palace imprisonment.

Reports of abnormal menstrual cycles and preterm labor following vaccination have surfaced among healthcare workers, though journalist Amy Goodman cited studies suggesting Portland police tear gas as a potential cause. In Australia, the government has threatened citizens returning from India with five years in jail, a move writer Arundhati Roy labels a crime against humanity as New Delhi crematoriums face oxygen shortages. Domestically, President Biden proposed a 15% minimum book tax for Fortune 500 companies during a Georgia drive-in speech while the FDA moves to ban menthol cigarettes, a decision the ACLU warns could increase aggressive policing in Black communities. Technical interference from a kitchen dimmer switch was also identified as the source of recent studio audio distortion.

Dr. Christiana Northrup details theories on 5G nanoparticle biometrics while the hosts demand an apology from Jesse Watters for misidentifying Lara Logan as the host of the No Agenda brand. Dame Nancy Nichols joins the Round Table as the show explores the McClintock effect and the historical parallels of the 1976 swine flu vaccine marketing campaign.

### 1. Kentucky Derby, Prince of Dubai Human Rights Controversy (0:00–2:09)

The 2021 Kentucky Derby featured a horse owned by the Prince of Dubai, despite international outcry regarding the alleged kidnapping and imprisonment of his daughter. Human rights groups have repeatedly attempted to verify her safety after multiple escape attempts from the palace. The horse ultimately finished in fourth place, while the favorite failed to secure a top-three position.

### 2. Studio Technical Issues, Dimmer Switch Interference (2:10–5:59)

A series of technical audio failures during previous broadcasts was traced to a specific light dimmer switch located in a kitchen below the studio. The electrical interference from the slider caused significant buzzing and treble distortion in the microphones. After troubleshooting the hardware, the setup was upgraded to two Electro-Voice microphones, while an older faulty unit was discarded.

### 3. Pfizer Influencer Marketing, TikTok Vaccine Promotion (5:59–9:25)

Pfizer is reportedly paying social media influencers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram up to several thousand dollars to post videos of themselves receiving vaccinations. These promotional clips often feature dance routines and viral trends but frequently omit required FTC disclosures regarding paid partnerships. This shift in strategy suggests pharmaceutical companies are moving away from traditional Hollywood celebrity endorsements in favor of fitness models and digital creators.

### 4. Queen Latifah, John Legend Vaccine Campaigns (9:25–13:14)

Traditional marketing campaigns for COVID-19 vaccines have enlisted high-profile celebrities like Queen Latifah and John Legend to target specific demographics. Queen Latifah's Pfizer-sponsored message focuses on racial disparities in clinical research, while John Legend partnered with Walgreens for the "Our Shot" campaign. Critics argue these polished, piano-backed advertisements are less effective than the spontaneous-feeling content produced by younger influencers.

### 5. Detroit Vaccine Incentives, Michael Osterholm Projections (13:14–14:58)

The city of Detroit has begun offering $50 incentives to drivers who bring individuals to vaccination sites as national demand for the shot decreases. Public health official Dr. Michael Osterholm continues to face criticism for previous dire warnings about "the mouth of the monster" and high death tolls that some claim were overstated. Officials describe the current challenge as the "last inch," focusing on the physical administration of needles as supply begins to outweigh demand.

### 6. Menstrual Cycle Irregularities, Tear Gas Claims (14:59–17:39)

Reports from healthcare workers and vaccinated individuals suggest a link between COVID-19 inoculations and abnormal menstrual cycles, including heavy bleeding and preterm labor. In a counter-narrative, journalist Amy Goodman reported on a study suggesting that exposure to police tear gas during protests in Portland, Oregon, might be the actual cause of these reproductive health issues. The conflicting reports highlight a lack of consensus in the medical community regarding these specific side effects.

### 7. Vaccine Shedding, Pfizer Clinical Trial Protocols (17:40–19:55)

Discussions regarding "vaccine shedding" have gained traction online, with some theorists suggesting that vaccinated individuals can transmit components to the unvaccinated through skin contact or inhalation. While mainstream science debunks these claims as anti-vaxxer propaganda, references are made to Pfizer's own clinical trial documents which monitored adverse effects in people who came into contact with trial participants. The concept of menstrual synchrony, or the McClintock effect, is also examined as a potential factor in these observations.

### 8. Christiana Northrup, 5G Nanoparticle Theories (19:55–23:41)

Dr. Christiana Northrup has proposed theories suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines contain nanoparticles acting as tiny robots to collect biometric data for the cloud. These claims link the technology to 5G radiation, specifically the 60 gigahertz frequency, which Northrup alleges could interfere with oxygen absorption in human hemoglobin. Critics of these theories point out that millimeter waves at those frequencies have very shallow skin penetration and are unlikely to affect internal blood chemistry.

### 9. Bill Gates, 2017 Munich Security Conference (23:42–27:40)

A 2017 speech by Bill Gates at the Munich Security Conference is being revisited for its warnings about synthetic versions of smallpox or deadly flu strains created via genetic engineering. Gates predicted that a respiratory pathogen could kill 30 million people within a year, emphasizing the link between international security and health security. While some view these remarks as prophetic, others suggest they reflect long-standing concerns within the global health community regarding bioterrorism.

### 13. Australia India Travel Ban, Jail Threats (37:38–39:13)

The Australian government has implemented a controversial measure threatening its own citizens with five years in jail or a $66,000 fine if they attempt to return home from India. This temporary ban, aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 variants, has drawn sharp criticism for effectively abandoning Australian passport holders abroad. Critics note that similar punitive measures were never imposed on travelers returning from the United States or the United Kingdom during their respective peaks.

### 15. New Delhi Crematoriums, Media Coverage Discrepancies (43:04–47:28)

Western media outlets like CNN have focused heavily on visual reports from mass crematoriums in New Delhi, depicting long queues for funeral rites. While the Biden administration has banned travel from India citing variant concerns, some observers argue the reporting lacks proportion relative to India's massive population. The use of PCR tests to define "cases" rather than clinical infections remains a point of contention among critics of the official narrative.

### 21. Podcasting 2.0, Silicon Valley Subscriptions (1:05:42–1:10:44)

Silicon Valley companies like Apple, Spotify, and SiriusXM are attempting to monetize podcasting through proprietary subscription models and "windowed" content.

### 32. Millennial Social Behavior, Grocery Line Etiquette (1:41:11–1:45:30)

An anecdote about a grocery store encounter in the Berkeley area serves as a critique of millennial social behavior and non-confrontational attitudes. The host described an instance where a young woman refused to cut ahead in line despite having only one item, interpreting it as a sign of being "over-socialized" or "under-socialized" in public. The discussion suggests that younger generations may perceive simple acts of kindness from older individuals with suspicion or confusion.

### 33. Austin Parking Technology, Prop B Camping Ban (1:45:33–1:49:17)

Austin voters passed Proposition B with 59% of the vote, reinstating a ban on public camping that will take effect in mid-May. The discussion also touched on the evolution of parking technology in the city, moving from simple dollar-slot metal boxes to digital machines that sometimes force a flat $20 fee for 10 hours. Critics expect the enforcement of the camping ban to become a major local media spectacle involving police and displaced individuals.

### 35. Biden Joint Address, Bold Media Supercut (1:54:08–1:58:52)

A media supercut reveals the synchronized use of the word "bold" by news anchors describing President Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress. This messaging aligns with a massive advertising campaign by "Climate Power," a group featuring an advisory board of prominent activists and celebrities like Stacey Abrams and John Podesta. The "American Jobs Plan" is being marketed as a transformational effort to tackle climate change through multi-trillion dollar spending.

### 36. Biden Amtrak Speech, Delaware Train Stories (1:58:53–2:02:48)

During a speech at an Amtrak station in Delaware, President Biden appeared to struggle with names and specific details while reminiscing about his years of commuting. He referred to various individuals as "family" and recounted a confusing timetable of his Senate-era train trips. Critics point to these unscripted moments as evidence of cognitive decline, while supporters view them as part of his "Middle Class Joe" persona.

### 37. High Speed Rail, New York Tunnel Pipe Dream (2:02:49–2:06:37)

President Biden discussed a $105 billion North Atlantic Rail plan that would include new tunnels under the Long Island Sound to facilitate high-speed travel between Boston and New York. He lamented that the U.S. is "behind the curve" compared to China, which operates trains at speeds up to 220 miles per hour. However, many of these projects date back to the Obama administration and remain largely unfunded or stuck in the planning phases.

### 38. Corporate Book Tax, Georgia Drive-In Speech (2:06:39–2:12:00)

In a Georgia drive-in speech, President Biden proposed a 15% "minimum book tax" for Fortune 500 companies to ensure they pay federal taxes on their reported profits. This tax would target the "book income" reported to shareholders rather than the taxable income calculated after deductions. While Biden claims this would raise $230 billion, critics argue it functions as a complex alternative minimum tax that could disrupt corporate accounting.

### 39. Biden Cough Medley, Soul of America (2:12:01–2:15:50)

A "cough medley" from recent Biden appearances highlights the President's frequent throat-clearing and verbal stumbles during public addresses. One specific phrase, "hold the soul of America," has been compared to the rhythmic delivery of James Brown. As the 2022 midterms approach, the media's focus remains split between Biden's legislative agenda and Donald Trump's continued influence on the Republican party.

### 40. FDA Menthol Ban, Racial Marketing Claims (2:15:50–2:20:10)

The FDA has proposed a ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, citing the disproportionate impact of these products on the Black community. While the Biden administration frames this as a public health victory, the ACLU warns it could lead to increased policing and underground markets, referencing the Eric Garner case. Statistics show that 85% of Black smokers prefer menthols, compared to 30% of white smokers, following decades of targeted marketing.

### 41. IQOS Smokeless Tobacco, Vaping Regulation (2:20:10–2:23:40)

The proposed ban on "combustible" menthol products is viewed by some as a strategic move to transition the market toward smokeless alternatives like Philip Morris's IQOS. As traditional cigarette tax revenues decline due to the rise of vaping, tobacco companies are seeking new high-end products to maintain their state master agreements. The narrative of "saving lives" may mask a broader industry shift toward non-combustible nicotine delivery systems.

Small May Day marches featuring communist flags were reported in Austin, Texas, reflecting a perceived rise in radical political activity.

Federal authorities are investigating two potential "sonic attacks" on U.S. soil, including one near the White House Ellipse that sickened a National Security Council official. These incidents mirror the "Havana Syndrome" reported by diplomats in Cuba and China, characterized by vertigo and intense pressure. While Russia is a primary suspect, some skeptics question if the symptoms could be related to 5G technology or mass hysteria.
