## About this episode

General Mark Milley faces treason allegations following revelations in the book Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, which details secret communications between the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and his Chinese counterparts. Retired Colonel Doug McGregor clarifies that the nuclear chain of command bypasses the Joint Chiefs, running directly from the Secretary of Defense to Strategic Command. This internal power struggle suggests a strategic realignment within the intelligence community as the CIA remains shielded from the scrutiny currently directed at the FBI and State Department.

Dr. Peter McCullough reports that vaccinated healthcare workers in Vietnam carried viral loads 251 times higher than previous strains, suggesting the fully vaccinated may act as super-spreaders for the Delta variant. In Australia, businessman Clive Palmer alleges New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is influenced by Pfizer lobbyists, while Queensland maintains an iron curtain border policy despite minimal COVID-19 deaths. Domestically, the Biden administration has begun metering Regeneron monoclonal antibody treatments to Texas and Alabama, while the Local Journalism Sustainability Act (HR 3940) proposes federal payroll tax credits that critics argue will create a state-subsidized media class.

This episode features the knighting of Sir Jack of the Heartland and a memorial for the late Sir Three Legged Dragon. The hosts track the ratings collapse of the MTV Video Music Awards and the emergence of CERB boards in British Columbia, where universal basic income is funding a new generation of van-life surfers. Comedian Norm Macdonald is remembered as a guardian saint of humor as the No Agenda Social community continues its decentralized growth.

### 2. MTV Video Music Awards Ratings Collapse, Madonna Appearance (1:54–5:27)

The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards saw a significant ratings decline, drawing barely one million viewers compared to 10-12 million in previous years. This drop is attributed to the completion of "cord cutting" among younger audiences and a lack of interest in the show's content. Madonna, aged 63, drew criticism for her appearance following a Brazilian butt lift procedure.

### 6. CBS Morning Show, Local Journalism Sustainability Act (14:05–17:43)

The Local Journalism Sustainability Act (HR 3940) is a proposed bill that may be included in a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. The legislation offers a payroll tax credit of up to $12,500 per quarter per employee for local news journalists. Critics argue this creates a government-funded media environment where journalists become financially dependent on federal subsidies.

### 7. Government Funding of Local News, HR 3940 Analysis (17:42–20:54)

Proposed legislation aims to stimulate local journalism by providing significant tax incentives to news organizations. The bill defines a local news journalist as anyone regularly gathering or writing news concerning local events. Concerns are raised that such funding will lead to state-run media dynamics where journalists are hesitant to criticize the governing party providing their compensation.

### 8. Dr. Peter McCullough, COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy and Delta Variant (20:54–24:31)

Dr. Peter McCullough reports that in highly vaccinated regions like Israel and the UK, a significant percentage of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths occur among the fully vaccinated. He cites a Lancet study from Vietnam showing that vaccinated healthcare workers carried viral loads 251 times higher than those seen in the pre-vaccination era. These findings suggest that vaccinated individuals may act as super-spreaders for the Delta variant.

### 10. Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Spike Protein Sensitivity (26:07–30:01)

A woman on TikTok claiming to suffer from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) describes becoming ill when in close proximity to vaccinated individuals. She attributes her physical reactions, including skin burning and brain fog, to the shedding of spike proteins. While she compares the reaction to a peanut allergy, social media commenters have dismissed her claims as psychosomatic.

### 11. COVID-19 Mortality Statistics, Johns Hopkins 1-in-500 Claim (30:01–33:25)

Johns Hopkins University released a statistic stating that one in every 500 Americans has died from COVID-19. Analysts question the accuracy of this figure, arguing it conflates those who died "with" the virus versus "from" the virus. The actual case fatality rate is suggested to be significantly lower than the reported 0.2% of the total population.

### 12. Nursing Shortage, Traveling Nurse Compensation Disparity (33:27–36:01)

The current nursing shortage in the United States is largely driven by the high compensation offered to traveling nurses, who can earn upwards of $8,300 per week plus housing stipends. This has led to a cycle where staff nurses quit their permanent positions to work as travelers just 50 miles away for double the pay. This disparity has created significant friction between hospital administration and permanent medical staff.

### 13. Medical Profession Grievances, Physician Debt and Training (36:02–39:45)

Medical professionals are expressing frustration over the evolving economics of healthcare, where physicians often graduate with $250,000 in debt and earn less than specialized unionized nurses when factoring in years of training. The traditional Hippocratic Oath has been truncated at institutions like Johns Hopkins to remove references to free education. The system is described as increasingly reliant on imported labor from countries like India.

### 16. Federal Vaccine Mandates, Alan Dershowitz Constitutional Analysis (47:51–51:44)

Constitutional attorney Alan Dershowitz analyzed the legality of President Biden's vaccine mandates issued through OSHA. While the federal government has authority over interstate commerce, it remains unclear if the executive branch can bypass Congress to mandate medical procedures for private employees. Dershowitz noted that while a 1905 Supreme Court precedent exists for state-level mandates, a federal mandate of this scale is legally unprecedented.

### 18. Australia COVID-19 Restrictions, Queensland Border Closures (55:27–58:06)

Queensland, Australia, maintains some of the world's strictest COVID-19 restrictions, including an "iron curtain" border policy that prevents even its own residents from entering by land. Despite having only seven total deaths and very few active cases, the state enforces strict mask mandates for everyone over age 12. These policies remain popular with a segment of the population despite their economic and social impact.

### 20. Australian Media Watch, Fake COVID Patient Scandal (1:01:13–1:04:23)

The Australian program "Media Watch" investigated claims that New South Wales Health used crisis actors to portray COVID-19 patients in promotional videos. While the government identified the individuals as real patients, internet sleuths claimed they found evidence of the individuals being paid actors. The controversy has further eroded public trust in mainstream media reporting on hospital capacity.

### 22. Moderna vs Pfizer Effectiveness, Media Narrative Shifts (1:06:11–1:09:00)

Recent CDC data suggests that the Moderna vaccine may maintain higher effectiveness over time compared to Pfizer, possibly due to a higher dosage regimen. However, some media outlets have been accused of flipping the narrative to protect Pfizer's market share. Conflicting headlines have caused confusion among the public regarding which vaccine provides superior long-term protection.

Medical insiders suggest that the testing of COVID-19 vaccines will continue for years, noting that even common drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen are still subject to ongoing safety studies. Experts predict the virus will eventually become endemic like the flu, with natural immunity becoming widespread over the next five to ten years. There is reported deep mistrust of figures like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates within certain sectors of the pharmaceutical industry.
