## About this episode

The arrest of Ovidio Guzman, son of El Chapo, has ignited a wave of cartel violence in Sinaloa, Mexico, resulting in thirty deaths and highlighting the $13 billion human smuggling industry. Colonel Douglas McGregor warns that the Mexican government now functions as a mouthpiece for cartels, creating an existential threat that may eventually require U.S. military intervention at the border.

In the United States, Representative Jim Jordan prepares to lead a Church-style committee to investigate the weaponization of federal agencies following the latest Twitter Files release by Matt Taibbi. Documents suggest the FBI and Adam Schiff’s office pressured Twitter to suspend journalists like Paul Sperry. Meanwhile, biologist Brett Weinstein appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to discuss Science Immunology data showing mRNA vaccines may cause IgG4 antibody elevation, potentially leading to immune system attenuation.

Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan faces scrutiny over his predictions of a Chinese demographic collapse, while the TSA implements new gender-neutral screening policies despite opposition from Representative Lauren Boebert. The episode also features a musical segment by Jimmy Fallon regarding the XBB.1.5 variant and a retrospective on the decline of the Consumer Electronics Show since the Comdex era.

### 2. Paul Ehrlich, Population Bomb Predictions, Political Operative Claims (3:19–9:43)

Archival audio from 1970 and 2020 features biologist Paul Ehrlich discussing human population size as a driver for pandemics and ecological collapse. His 1970 prediction that the world would never reach 7 billion people by the year 2000 is highlighted as a significant failure of his "arithmetic." The analysis characterizes Ehrlich as a political operative rather than a scientist, specifically citing his 1972 "point of no return" as a tactic to influence presidential elections.

The rhetoric is criticized for its lack of statistical grounding and its promotion through mainstream media outlets like 60 Minutes.

### 6. COVID-19 Variant Contagion, Vaccine Efficacy Claims, Immune Compromised Percolation (22:18–25:42)

A medical expert on Yahoo News claims the XBB.1.5 variant is five times more contagious than BA.5 due to better attachment to ACE2 receptors. The report suggests that while vaccines may not prevent infection, they prevent severe disease, drawing a parallel to the flu vaccine. The concept of the virus "percolating" within immune-compromised individuals to create new variants is highlighted as a questionable scientific explanation.

### 31. Kevin McCarthy Speaker Negotiations, Democrat Arrogance, House Rules (2:01:49–2:08:04)

The hosts analyze the 15 rounds of voting required to elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. They argue that House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi, missed a strategic opportunity to support a moderate McCarthy before he made significant concessions to the "Ultra-MAGA" wing. These concessions include the ability for a single member to call for the Speaker's removal and the creation of new investigative committees.

### 32. C-SPAN Camera Coverage, House Floor Drama, 15th Vote (2:08:04–2:13:15)

Unprecedented C-SPAN camera coverage of the House Speaker elections captured heated confrontations, including Republican Mike Rogers being physically restrained during a discussion with Matt Gaetz. Because a Speaker had not yet been elected, the usual restrictive broadcast rules were not in effect, allowing C-SPAN directors to use close-ups and reaction shots. Kevin McCarthy was ultimately elected on the 15th ballot after midnight.

### 33. Hakeem Jeffries Alphabet Speech, House Divisiveness (2:13:16–2:14:45)

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delivered a speech using an A-to-Z format to contrast Democratic values with Republican policies. The speech included phrases like "Constitution over the cult" and "Quality of life issues over QAnon." The hosts characterize the performance as highly divisive and indicative of the deep partisan split in the new Congress.

The second anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot featured a ceremony where President Biden awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to the family of Officer Brian Sicknick.

### 35. Jim Jordan, Church-Style Committee, Intelligence Agency Oversight (2:18:49–2:21:49)

Representative Jim Jordan is expected to lead a "Church-style" committee to investigate the weaponization of federal agencies. The original 1970s Church Committee exposed CIA domestic spying and the use of journalists as assets. The hosts express skepticism that these new hearings will lead to meaningful change, suggesting that intelligence agencies have only become more sophisticated in their "buffaloing" of the public.

### 36. Brian Sicknick Wrongful Death Lawsuit, Bear Spray, Donald Trump (2:21:49–2:24:37)

The partner of deceased Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick has filed a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against Donald Trump and two protesters. Although the medical examiner ruled Sicknick died of natural causes following a stroke, the suit alleges his death was a foreseeable consequence of the events of January 6th. The hosts discuss the chemical properties of bear spray and its unlikely connection to causing strokes.

### 37. Bear Scare Product, Skunk Scent, Camping Safety (2:24:38–2:26:52)

A "Shark Tank" style product idea called "Bear Scare" is discussed, which uses the chemical components of skunk spray (mercaptans) to create a perimeter around campsites. The theory is that bears instinctively avoid skunks. The product's failure to reach the market is attributed to the extreme difficulty of shipping and storing substances that "stink to high heaven."

### 38. Twitter Files, Matt Taibbi, Government Censorship Requests (2:26:52–2:31:40)

The latest release of the "Twitter Files" by journalist Matt Taibbi alleges that various federal agencies, including the FBI and the office of Congressman Adam Schiff, requested the suspension of specific accounts. Schiff's office reportedly asked for the removal of journalist Paul Sperry. The documents suggest a broad effort by the U.S. government to influence content moderation regarding COVID-19 origins and "Russian disinformation."

### 39. Elon Musk, FTC Consent Decree, Twitter Data Privacy (2:31:40–2:35:06)

FTC Chair Lina Khan discusses the ongoing monitoring of Twitter's compliance with a 2012 consent decree regarding data privacy and security. The company previously paid a $150 million fine for misusing user phone numbers for advertising. There is speculation that the federal government may use these regulatory tools to "take down" Elon Musk if his management of the platform conflicts with their interests.

### 44. TSA Gender-Neutral Screening, Lauren Boebert, Airport Security (2:50:14–2:51:38)

The TSA is implementing new "gender-neutral" screening policies to prevent transgender passengers from being flagged for additional searches. Republican lawmakers, led by Lauren Boebert, have introduced the "Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act" to block the change. Critics argue the policy could be exploited by terrorists, while proponents say it reduces humiliation for transgender travelers.
