## About this episode

President Joe Biden delivered a high-energy State of the Union address that drew immediate fire from Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, who labeled the speech a dark and un-American performance. The evening was marked by the arrest of Gold Star father Steve Nkouy for heckling the President over the Abbey Gate bombing and a notable gaffe where Biden mispronounced the name of Laken Riley. Amidst calls for a ban on AI voice impersonations and the launch of a 20,000-strong Climate Corps, the administration's rhetoric on Social Security and billionaire taxes set a contentious tone for the 2024 campaign cycle.

Beyond the Capitol, Senator Katie Britt faced mixed reviews for her Republican response delivered from a kitchen, while Vice President Kamala Harris asserted her readiness to serve if necessary. Geopolitical tensions escalated as Chinese President Xi Jinping instructed the People's Liberation Army to prepare for maritime conflicts in the South China Sea, coinciding with the indictment of Army analyst Corbin Schultz for selling secrets to China. In Europe, Pope Francis sparked backlash by suggesting Ukraine show the courage of the white flag, and Irish voters delivered a stunning rebuke to their government by rejecting constitutional referendums on family and gender roles.

Cultural oddities and safety concerns rounded out the week, from United Airlines' string of mechanical failures to the viral story of Bear the dog being rescued from a trash can lid in Alabama. Robert De Niro made headlines with a sincere, profanity-laced warning about a potential Trump dictatorship, while the rise of oral GLP-1 weight loss pills like amicrotin signaled a new era for Big Pharma. The segment concluded with a look at the "Lock the Clock" bill from Senator James Lankford and a satirical musical tribute to the President's "Scranton Joe" persona.

A theory is explored regarding Donald Trump's repeated references to a "1917 pandemic" instead of the 1918 Spanish Flu.

### 21. Avian Flu Cover-up and Crimson Contagion Thesis (58:57–1:02:51)

A complex thesis suggests that COVID-19 was released to cover up a more deadly H7N9 avian flu outbreak that had been bubbling since 2013. The theory posits that "Operation Warp Speed" and the initial Moderna deal in January 2020 were actually targeting this avian flu rather than COVID-19. Documents related to "Crimson Contagion" are cited as evidence of a pre-planned Department of Defense response to a different viral threat.

### 22. Operation Warp Speed and the "China Virus" Rhetoric (1:02:53–1:06:51)

The timeline of Operation Warp Speed is scrutinized, noting that Trump signed the Moderna deal on January 13, 2020, when only one death had been reported in China. This supports the theory that the administration was responding to an existing avian flu threat. Trump's insistence on using the term "China Virus" rather than COVID-19 is viewed as a deliberate distinction between the two pathogens.

Kennedy pledges to issue an executive order to change the pharmaceutical model if elected president.
