## About this episode

White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter and speechwriter David Sorenson resigned this week following domestic abuse allegations from former spouses Jenny Willoughby and Colbie Holderness. President Donald Trump defended Porter's character while media scrutiny intensified regarding the administration's security clearance protocols and Chief of Staff John Kelly's oversight. The fallout has sparked a broader debate on due process and the speed of executive terminations in the face of public accusations.

Communications Director Hope Hicks faces scrutiny as a potential internal catalyst for these departures, with some observers labeling her a White House Black Widow due to her proximity to ousted officials like Corey Lewandowski. Meanwhile, Representative Jackie Speier led the House to pass the Congressional Accountability Act, which forces lawmakers to personally pay for sexual harassment settlements. In California, Me Too leader Christina Garcia faces her own misconduct investigation following claims by former staffer Daniel Fierro. Internationally, an Israeli F-16 was downed by Syrian air defenses after strikes on Iranian drone bases, highlighting escalating tensions over Golan Heights oil interests and the Gini Oil strategic board featuring Dick Cheney and Rupert Murdoch.

Victoria Nuland revisited her infamous 2014 phone call during a Politico interview, inadvertently admitting to midwifing the Ukrainian government while blaming Russian intelligence for the leak. The episode also features a formal knighting ceremony for Insta-Baron Roger Colburn and a deep dive into the sensory science of obesity with author Rebecca Hertz. A final parody tribute honors the Spirit Airlines passenger allegedly instructed to flush her emotional support hamster.

ABC News is accused of misrepresenting facts by linking Donald Trump's defense of Rob Porter to his previous endorsement of Roy Moore, despite the differing nature of the allegations. Reports suggest that Jared Kushner is a primary target for political opponents and media outlets due to his temporary security clearance status.

### 4. Hope Hicks as the White House Black Widow (27:54–31:06)

A theory is proposed characterizing Communications Director Hope Hicks as a "Black Widow" figure within the White House, noting that men she is romantically or professionally linked to, such as Corey Lewandowski and Rob Porter, often face termination. Analysis of her body language, specifically placing a flat palm on a man's chest, is compared to similar gestures by Hillary Clinton. The discussion questions whether Hicks is intentionally "cleaning house" for the benefit of Ivanka Trump.

A retrospective on the 2010 firing of Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod highlights the dangers of reacting to out-of-context media clips, specifically those released by Breitbart.

### 7. Congressional Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Addendum Act (39:57–42:21)

Representative Jackie Speier led bipartisan legislation to amend the Congressional Accountability Act, requiring members of Congress to pay for sexual harassment settlements personally rather than using taxpayer funds. The bill also aims to eliminate non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) for accusers and requires claims to be made under oath. While the House passed the measure with near-unanimous support, some critics argue it restricts victims' rights to file external lawsuits.

### 14. Lost Connections, Depression, and Community Meetups (1:17:51–1:25:05)

The book "Lost Connections" by Johann Hari is discussed, which argues that depression is often caused by a lack of meaningful social connection rather than a simple chemical imbalance. The hosts emphasize the importance of the No Agenda community and in-person meetups to combat the isolation caused by modern lifestyles and social media. Plans for synchronized meetups in Austin and the Bay Area are proposed.

### 15. Why You Eat What You Eat, Sensory Cues, and Obesity (1:25:06–1:35:24)

Author Rebecca Hertz discusses her book "Why You Eat What You Eat," explaining how non-food odors like crayons can deter cravings while vanilla increases appetite. She notes that loud music in restaurants or engine noise on airplanes dampens the perception of sweet and salty tastes. The segment also references a study suggesting a high correlation between childhood sexual abuse and adult obesity as a subconscious defense mechanism.

### 16. Syrian Pipeline Wars and Gini Oil Strategic Board (1:35:26–1:44:45)

Military action in Syria is linked to competing interests over the Qatari and Iran-Iraq-Syria pipelines. Large oil discoveries in the Golan Heights have intensified the conflict between Israel and Syria. Gini Oil & Gas, which holds drilling rights in the region, features a strategic advisory board including Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and Jacob Rothschild, suggesting deep geopolitical and financial motivations for the ongoing war.

### 17. Israeli F-16 Shot Down and Iranian Drone Bases (1:44:46–1:49:02)

An Israeli F-16 was shot down by Syrian air defenses following strikes on what Israel claimed were Iranian drone bases. This marks a significant escalation in the region, with Israel warning that Iran is dragging the area into a dangerous conflict. The hosts question the narrative regarding the number of drone bases and suggest the incident may be related to securing disputed resource-rich territories like the Golan Heights.

### 18. Victoria Nuland, Ukraine Meddling, and the "Fuck the EU" Tape (1:49:03–2:06:53)

Victoria Nuland, former Deputy Secretary of State, appeared in a Politico interview to discuss the 2014 Ukraine crisis and the infamous leaked "Fuck the EU" phone call. Nuland characterizes the leak as a "KGB playbook" tactic used by Russia to embarrass the U.S. She admits to "midwifing" a new government in Ukraine and inadvertently uses the word "we" when describing the 200,000 protesters on the street, suggesting direct U.S. involvement in the Maidan revolution.

### 19. No Agenda Knighting Ceremony and Peerage Rules (2:06:54–2:16:48)

The hosts conduct a formal knighting ceremony for Roger Colburn and Morgan Corkill for their significant financial support. New peerage rules are established, clarifying that multiple knights can share the same name (e.g., "Sir Ralph") as titles are not exclusive like land or domain names. The ceremony includes the traditional reading of the "mutton and mead" menu and the presentation of No Agenda rings.

### 20. Newsweek Ad Fraud and Online Traffic Arbitrage (2:16:48–2:25:07)

Newsweek and International Business Times are under investigation for fraudulent traffic practices used to secure government advertising contracts. The scheme involved "arbitrage," where publishers buy cheap traffic from click farms in the Philippines or India and resell it to advertisers at a higher rate. The hosts argue that the current digital advertising model is fundamentally broken and prone to systemic fraud.

### 21. Journalist Protection Act and Legal Definitions (2:25:08–2:29:53)

The Journalist Protection Act (HR 4935) proposes making physical assault against journalists a federal crime with penalties of up to six years in prison. However, the bill's legal definition of a "journalist" appears to favor employees of large broadcast and print organizations, potentially excluding independent podcasters and digital creators. The hosts express concern that this creates a protected class of "approved" media figures.

### 22. Military Parade Proposal and July 4th Context (2:29:53–2:39:20)

President Donald Trump's proposal for a military parade in Washington D.C. is analyzed following his visit to France's Bastille Day celebration. While media reports suggest Trump wants a "nationalist" display for himself, the hosts point out that Trump specifically mentioned holding the event on July 4th to celebrate military history. The discussion highlights how the media omits the Independence Day context to frame the proposal as authoritarian.

### 23. Chuck Schumer's Parade and Obama's Stock Market (2:39:21–2:41:51)

Archival clips reveal Senator Chuck Schumer previously advocated for a "grand" military parade in New York City, contradicting current Democratic opposition to Trump's proposal. Similarly, clips of Barack Obama taking credit for a "booming" stock market are used to highlight media hypocrisy, as current commentators criticize Trump for doing the same. The "Wayback Machine" segment aims to expose shifting political narratives.

Clint Eastwood's film "The 15:17 to Paris" features the real-life heroes of the 2015 Thalys train attack playing themselves. The hosts express skepticism regarding the authenticity of the actors' interviews on Tucker Carlson, specifically their cavalier attitude toward PTSD. They suggest the film and the original event may have been influenced or staged by the Pentagon's entertainment liaison office to serve as a recruitment and morale tool.

George Soros is reported to have donated 400,000 pounds to a campaign aimed at overturning Brexit, leading to accusations of foreign meddling in British politics. Meanwhile, a long-standing class-action lawsuit led by Max Schrems against Facebook for privacy violations continues in the EU. The show concludes with a parody song about a Spirit Airlines passenger who was allegedly told to flush her emotional support hamster down a toilet.
