## About this episode

The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency faces scrutiny after a false missile alert revealed critical software vulnerabilities in the Everbridge interface. While officials blamed a single employee, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System lacks a basic cancellation template, and the underlying code was developed by a third-party team in China. This systemic failure coincides with the arrest of former CIA officer Jerry Chun-Shing Lee, who allegedly compromised the identities of dozens of American assets in Beijing.

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a $38 billion tax repatriation payment following Republican reforms, while Google faces a whistleblower report detailing a hostile internal culture for conservative employees. In the media, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson confirmed President Donald Trump scored 30/30 on a Montreal Cognitive Assessment, despite CNN's Sanjay Gupta claiming a high calcium score indicates heart disease. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is criticized for his rapid condemnation of a Toronto hijab-cutting incident that police later determined was a complete hoax.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate the 1,000th episode of the No Agenda show by acknowledging a jar of 1,000 Canadian pennies sent via DHL. The hosts perform a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Andy Chan and Sir Daniel Eber while reflecting on the show's decade-long value-for-value model. A listener from Brooklyn seeks a therapist who is not stuck in Dimension B, and the Peerage Committee settles a dispute over the title Dame Love and Light.
