## About this episode

President Joe Biden adopted the United Nations Code Red for humanity rhetoric this week while setting an aggressive 2025 carbon-free goal for the United States power sector. During a climate summit, Biden mistakenly substituted the word China for climate while discussing environmental shifts in Europe and Africa, a slip occurring as the White House staff abruptly ushered the press corps out of the Oval Office to prevent off-the-cuff questioning during a meeting with Boris Johnson.

In Melbourne, Premier Daniel Andrews coordinated with social media platforms to suppress footage of anti-lockdown protests as Australian media framed unionized workers as conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, Project Veritas released undercover footage from the Phoenix Indian Medical Center featuring a federal doctor discussing unreported myocarditis cases. In the United Kingdom, funeral director John O'Looney faced professional suspension after challenging pandemic death protocols, and CF Industries halted production, creating a nationwide CO2 shortage that threatens the food and beverage industry.

Comedian Chris Rock urged fans to get vaccinated despite testing positive for COVID-19, while the 73rd Emmy Awards hit record low ratings as audiences migrated to streaming platforms like Netflix and Apple TV+. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak examine the Doconomy carbon-tracking credit card and the rise of decentralized media through the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem.

### 6. Streaming Services Dominance, Network Television Failure (10:12–14:12)

The success of streaming platforms like Netflix and Apple TV+ at the Emmy Awards is contrasted with the failure of traditional networks to win major categories.

### 7. Television Formatting Differences, Advertising Arc Strategy (14:13–15:46)

A technical distinction is made between the writing styles of streaming shows like Ted Lasso and traditional network programs on CBS. Network shows require a specific narrative arc that builds toward commercial breaks to ensure viewer retention. The hosts express frustration that networks promote streaming content on their own award shows rather than their own proprietary material.

### 10. Australian Police Tactics, COVID-19 Conspiracy Labels (21:58–24:00)

Australian media is shown framing protesters as conspiracy theorists, even when individuals claim to have already recovered from COVID-19. Premier Daniel Andrews issued statements condemning the "acts of violence" and disruption in Melbourne. The hosts discuss the "trade war" involving unionized workers (tradies) who are resisting vaccine mandates and lockdown measures.

Leaked audio captures a conversation between a Melbourne police officer and a citizen regarding the enforcement of lockdown tickets. The officer expresses personal frustration with the situation, noting his own wife is unemployed due to the mandates, but claims he must continue his duties because he is not skilled for other work. The hosts compare this "just doing my job" defense to historical precedents of state enforcement.

The Australian beer brand Victoria Bitter (VB) released a reworked version of its iconic anthem to encourage COVID-19 vaccination, linking the "hard-earned thirst" to getting the jab. The hosts contrast this corporate campaign with a parody version submitted by a producer that highlights police brutality in Victoria. The segment explores the use of working-class cultural symbols to push government health agendas.

In contrast to Australia, the United States is seeing significant pushback against vaccine mandates from healthcare workers and conservative politicians. The hosts praise individuals choosing to lose their jobs rather than comply with mandates, labeling them as brave patriots. They note that the lack of a consolidated state power in the US allows for more effective resistance than in Australia.

CNN featured an interview with two siblings, Katie and Evan, whose father died of COVID-19 after allegedly being influenced by Tucker Carlson's broadcasts. The hosts characterize this as a "despicable" attempt by a network to accuse a competitor of murder. They question the authenticity of the children's dialogue, suggesting they were coached to use specific talking points about "ingesting media" and "misinformation."

### 18. Chris Rock COVID-19 Diagnosis, Vaccine Efficacy Messaging (43:06–44:41)

Comedian Chris Rock tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after appearing in a promotional segment with Gayle King where he encouraged vaccination. Despite his diagnosis, Rock urged fans to get vaccinated, stating "trust me, you don't want this." The hosts highlight the confusing nature of the messaging when vaccinated celebrities still contract the virus and report severe symptoms.

### 19. Kamala Harris Vietnam Trip, China Vaccine Diplomacy (44:41–46:24)

Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Vietnam to pledge 500 million vaccine doses, but her arrival was reportedly delayed. During this delay, China successfully delivered 2 million doses of the Sinovac vaccine to the Vietnamese government. The hosts frame this as a geopolitical struggle for influence through "vaccine diplomacy."

### 20. PBS Sinovac Hit Piece, Pfizer mRNA Superiority (46:25–49:52)

PBS aired a report questioning the efficacy of China's Sinovac vaccine, citing high death rates among vaccinated healthcare workers in Indonesia. The report promoted Pfizer and Moderna's mRNA technology as scientifically superior. The hosts suggest the segment serves as a marketing tool for Western pharmaceutical companies, noting the lack of transparency in WHO emergency use listings.

### 21. Sponsor segment: Johnson & Johnson Billboard, CBS News Advertising (49:53–51:26)

Johnson & Johnson utilized a five-second "billboard" advertisement on CBS News to claim their second vaccine dose provides 94% effectiveness. The hosts note the brevity and high cost of such placements, which are inserted directly before commercial blocks.

### 23. Project Veritas FDA Blow Dart Tangent, Media Credibility (53:45–55:27)

A second Project Veritas video featuring an alleged FDA official discussing "blow darting" African Americans with vaccines is dismissed by the hosts as counterproductive and absurd. They argue that such sensationalist content undermines the more serious whistleblower reports released previously.

### 25. Political Bureaucracy and CDC Protocols, Murder Allegations (59:27–1:01:12)

The hosts discuss allegations that CDC protocols and state-level decisions, such as sending COVID-positive patients into nursing homes, resulted in unnecessary deaths. While one host attributes these actions to the Democratic party, the other frames it as a failure of non-partisan bureaucracy. They conclude that the protocols often ran counter to standard medical practices for respiratory infections.

### 29. Unvaccinated Status Definition, Hospital Data Scams (1:09:23–1:11:09)

The hosts discuss a reporting technicality where individuals who die or suffer adverse reactions within two weeks of their second vaccine dose are categorized as "unvaccinated." They argue this practice skews public health data to make the vaccines appear more effective and the "unvaccinated" population appear more at risk.

CBS News featured the story of 29-year-old Samantha Wendell, who died of COVID-19 after allegedly hesitating to get vaccinated due to fertility concerns. The reporter, Nancy Chen, added an editorial comment about the tragedy of the funeral occurring in the same church where Wendell was to be married. The hosts criticize the use of this story to push the "misinformation kills" narrative.

### 31. Pregnancy and COVID-19 Vaccines, New England Journal of Medicine (1:12:48–1:15:10)

The hosts contrast CBS's recommendation for pregnant women to get vaccinated with a June 2021 study from the New England Journal of Medicine. They claim the study's data suggests a high rate of spontaneous pregnancy loss among participants vaccinated before the third trimester. They label the mainstream media's dismissal of these concerns as "misinformation."

### 32. Justin Trudeau Vaccine Passport Rhetoric, Reward and Punishment (1:15:11–1:17:40)

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is criticized for his rhetoric regarding vaccine passports, where he framed them as a "reward" for those who "did the right thing." Trudeau stated that those who resist will not be allowed to enjoy the same freedoms as the vaccinated. The hosts describe the clip as "disgusting" and a sign of growing authoritarianism in Canada.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson took questions from British reporters, but White House handlers abruptly ushered the US press out before they could question President Biden.

### 68. ISO Soundbite Selection, Biden vs. Abbott (3:08:12–3:10:49)

The hosts select "ISOs" (isolated soundbites) for future use, comparing a "low energy" clip of President Biden saying "we've all suffered" to a "punchy" clip of Texas Governor Greg Abbott saying "all this crap is over." They experiment with mixing the clips to create a contrast in political messaging.

### 69. UMass Sexual Assault Protests, Leon Black Allegations (3:10:51–3:16:46)

CBS News reported on protests at UMass Amherst following anonymous allegations of sexual assault at a fraternity. The hosts compare this to previous "scams" like the Duke Lacrosse case, noting that no formal complaints have been filed. They contrast the media's focus on these unverified college stories with the lack of coverage regarding actual court documents accusing billionaire Leon Black of assault at Jeffrey Epstein's mansion.

### 70. Kabul Airport Attacker Identity, Taliban Civil War (3:16:48–3:19:12)

Reports indicate the Kabul airport suicide bomber was a former prisoner released from CIA custody after the US abandoned its base. The hosts also play a clip from Indian news describing a "civil war" within the Taliban between factions led by Baradar and Khalil Haqqani. They mock the Indian news outlet's use of the term "monkeys with Kalashnikovs."

### 71. Tokyo Ham Fair Cancellation, End of Show Mixes (3:19:13–3:25:46)

The Tokyo Ham Fair 2021 has been cancelled, much to the disappointment of the amateur radio community. The show concludes with several "end-of-show mixes," including a parody of "Eleanor Rigby" titled "COVID People" and a historical montage by Tom Starkweather. The hosts sign off, reminding listeners to visit the show's website for episode 1384.
