## About this episode

AT&T customers across the United States faced a massive cellular blackout on February 22, 2024, triggering widespread speculation regarding infrastructure sabotage or failed software updates. While some officials pointed to solar flares, the disruption crippled emergency services and ride-sharing apps, highlighting the fragility of domestic telecommunications. Simultaneously, Intuitive Machines launched the Odysseus lunar lander from Kennedy Space Center, marking a high-stakes attempt by a private Texas firm to achieve a soft landing on the moon.

In Munich, Yulia Navalnaya addressed the Security Conference following the reported death of her husband, Alexei Navalny, as the Biden administration finalized new sanctions against Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Nancy Pelosi appeared together to lobby for stalled military aid, while reports surfaced of aggressive conscription tactics in Kyiv. In the United States, New York Attorney General Letitia James threatened to seize Donald Trump’s real estate assets following a $355 million civil fraud judgment. Further legal tension emerged as the Supreme Court heard Corner Post v. Board of Governors, a case that could dismantle decades of federal administrative regulations.

The broadcast features a detailed look at the crumbling quality of modern manufacturing, specifically the oxidation of wheels on brand-new Halliburton gear cases. Producers also track the rescue of Valentine the cat from a sixty-foot tree in Sudbury and the rise of local AI tools like NVIDIA RTX. The episode concludes with a knighting ceremony for top-tier supporters including Patrick Gibson and Nathan Cochran, alongside a musical mix by Oystine Berge.

### 8. Chlormequat Chemical Use in Cereal Crops (23:42–24:38)

A producer provides insight into the use of chlormequat, a chemical recently detected in General Mills and Quaker Oats products. Farmers use the substance as a growth inhibitor to strengthen plant stems and prevent cereal crops from "lodging" or falling over under the weight of heavy seed heads. The practice is intended to maximize yield and ease harvesting despite potential health concerns for consumers.

Constitutional experts note that the U.S. Supreme Court must issue a decision regarding Donald Trump's eligibility for the Colorado primary ballot before Super Tuesday on March 5.

### 30. Chinese Spy Cranes and Port Infrastructure Subsidies (1:35:28–1:38:38)

President Biden signed an executive order investing $20 billion into U.S. port infrastructure to replace Chinese-made cranes. Experts warn that cranes manufactured by ZPMC, which make up 80% of the U.S. fleet, contain sensors that could allow China to track shipping data or remotely "kill switch" port operations. Critics suggest the "spy crane" narrative is a financial maneuver to secure subsidies and pivot funding toward anti-China initiatives.

Jessica Tapia, a teacher at Jurupa Valley High School, was fired for refusing to comply with a school policy requiring teachers to hide students' gender transitions and pronoun preferences from their parents.

Protests have erupted in British Columbia and Alberta over "SOGI 123," a school program focused on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Supporters claim the guidelines create a safer environment, while opponents liken it to sexual grooming.
