## About this episode

GoFundMe faces intense international backlash after withholding $9 million in donations intended for the Canadian Freedom Convoy. The platform initially attempted to redirect the funds to other charities before a massive 'Operation Chargeback' campaign forced an automated refund process to avoid credit card dispute fees. In Ottawa, protesters have transformed Wellington Street into a festive occupation featuring bouncy castles and saunas, while local police implement a 'surge and contain' strategy using concrete barricades.

Global tensions escalate as Russia deploys nuclear-capable bombers over Belarus while finalizing a gas deal with China to be settled in Euros, signaling a move away from the U.S. dollar. In Washington, State Department spokesperson Ned Price faces a heated confrontation with AP reporter Matt Lee over unsubstantiated claims of a Russian 'false flag' video. Domestically, the Johns Hopkins meta-analysis on COVID-19 lockdowns reveals a mere 0.2% reduction in mortality, prompting White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki to distance the Biden administration from previous mitigation policies.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal joins the growing chorus of public figures opposing vaccine mandates, clashing with co-hosts over the definition of medical freedom. Meanwhile, the city of Rotterdam prepares to dismantle the historic Koningshaven Bridge to accommodate the passage of Jeff Bezos’s new 417-foot superyacht. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the 'weaponization of woke' targeting Joe Rogan and the curious case of 3D-printed plant meatballs at IKEA recruitment events.
