## About this episode

Attorney General William Barr notified Congress that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation with no further indictments recommended. This legal conclusion has triggered a massive media pivot from MSNBC host Chris Matthews and other pundits, who are now shifting from Russian collusion narratives to new legislative battles. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders like Eric Swalwell and Beto O'Rourke continue to push for impeachment and subpoenas despite the lack of criminal charges against the Trump family.

In London, over one million protesters joined the Put it to the People march to demand a second Brexit referendum as Prime Minister Theresa May faces a potential cabinet coup led by David Lidington. The Southern Poverty Law Center is also in turmoil following the ousting of co-founder Morris Dees and the resignation of President Richard Cohen amid allegations of a toxic workplace. In the United States, the KOMO News documentary Seattle is Dying has sparked a national conversation about how meth addiction and socialist District Attorneys have contributed to the collapse of urban order in cities like Seattle and San Francisco.

Psychic Uri Geller has issued an open letter to Downing Street claiming he will use telepathic energy to stop Brexit from his home in Israel. The broadcast also features a technical breakdown of the Boeing 737 MAX MCAS system from a commercial pilot and an analysis of the Angelic Initiative, a D.C.-based group advocating for global population reduction. Sir Chuck, the Oracle of Oswego, joins the No Agenda Round Table as the latest knighted executive producer.

### 1. Theresa May, Brexit People's March, Second Referendum (0:00–6:18)

Theresa May faces a potential cabinet coup as senior ministers reportedly plot to replace her with David Lidington. Over one million protesters gathered in London for the "Put it to the People" march, organized by the pro-EU group Open Britain, to demand a second referendum. The strategy of repeated voting until a desired outcome is reached is noted as a recurring pattern within European Union political history, similar to the Lisbon Treaty ratifications.

CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reported on the massive anti-Brexit demonstrations in London, framing the event as a significant effort to halt Britain's departure from the EU.

### 4. The Spectator, Globalization Narrative, British Cultural Decline (9:34–12:49)

Fraser Nelson of The Spectator argues that the Brexit movement was a reaction against globalization rather than specifically about the European Union. This shift in narrative is criticized as propaganda intended to demean Brexiteers by suggesting they were misled or naive. Observations on the decline of British pub culture and the failure of multiculturalism, as previously admitted by David Cameron, are cited as underlying factors for the current social climate.

### 7. Christopher Hitchens, German Empire, UK Immigration Policy (16:23–19:40)

The current state of the European Union is likened to a re-emerging German Empire, a concept previously discussed by the brother of Christopher Hitchens.

"Cancel culture" is defined as an online phenomenon where individuals are forced to apologize or face professional destruction regardless of the truth of the accusations.

### 12. Homelessness Crisis, Meth Addiction, San Francisco Crime (31:20–33:52)

The homelessness crisis in Seattle and Austin is attributed primarily to meth addiction rather than lack of housing.

San Francisco is highlighted for its extreme property crime rates, where vehicle break-ins have become a standard occurrence due to lack of prosecution.

### 14. Yellow Vests, Detroit Decay, Austin Real Estate Boom (35:36–39:12)

The likelihood of a "Yellow Vest" style protest occurring in the United States is dismissed as zero due to a hypnotized and debt-laden population. While cities like Detroit and St. Louis represent urban decay, Austin is experiencing a massive real estate boom, including a new 35-story Google building. However, this wealth exists alongside visible drug use and homelessness, which residents have begun to ignore.

### 33. Madame Secretary, Hurricane Energy, Al Gore (1:37:34–1:42:20)

The CBS show *Madame Secretary* used a "20,000 Hiroshimas" metric to describe the power of a fictional typhoon. Engineering analysis from listeners confirms that a typical hurricane actually releases energy equivalent to 10,000 to 1,000,000 times the "Little Boy" atomic bomb. The use of this metric by Al Gore and TV writers is identified as a specific propaganda technique to frame climate change in apocalyptic terms.

### 34. Nancy Pelosi, Newcomers, Voter Rights (1:42:21–1:45:05)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has begun using the term "newcomers" to refer to illegal immigrants. During a discussion on expanding voting rights to 16-year-olds and non-citizens, Pelosi argued that these "newcomers" make America "more American." The shift in nomenclature from "undocumented workers" to "newcomers" is noted as a strategic linguistic change.

### 35. Electoral College, Media Advertising, Campaign Finance (1:45:06–1:50:50)

The push to abolish the Electoral College is analyzed as a financial boon for media companies. Without the Electoral College, political campaigns would spend billions on advertising in high-population states like California and New York, which are currently ignored during general elections. The media's support for this change is linked to their desire for increased ad revenue rather than democratic principles.

Lynn McGonigal and her daughter run the "Angelic Initiative," a Washington D.C.-based organization claiming to heal the "root causes of warfare" through angelic guidance. In their videos, they advocate for reducing the global population to under one billion and suggest that women should stop having babies and stay home. McGonigal, a former CPA at Price Waterhouse, now claims to work with "higher dimension avatars."

### 38. Mosquitoes, Species Extinction, Modern Democrat Ideology (2:00:27–2:05:39)

The "Angelic Initiative" hosts argue that humans should allow mosquitoes to flourish to support the biosphere and that the human population must be reduced to half a billion, echoing the Georgia Guidestones. They compare the current "species extinction" to the Nazi era in Germany, claiming that those who do not speak up are participatory in a "great wrong." This rhetoric is framed as an extreme version of modern Democratic party platforms.

### 39. Mary Magdalene, Channeling, New Age Pantheism (2:05:40–2:11:37)

A group of "channelers" claiming to broadcast the "Mary Magdalene consciousness" and the goddess "Isis" are identified as an influential subculture. These New Age pantheists, who often discuss "key codes" and "divine knowing," are linked to the ideological shifts in cities like Seattle. The hosts suggest these spiritual movements are filling a void left by traditional religion for people seeking meaning in urban environments.

### 43. Donald Trump, John McCain, Steele Dossier (2:26:11–2:31:59)

President Donald Trump continues to criticize the late Senator John McCain, citing McCain's role in distributing the Steele Dossier and his deciding vote against the repeal of Obamacare.

### 44. Dr. Steve Pieczenik, John McCain, Military History (2:32:00–2:38:10)

Dr. Steve Pieczenik provides a highly critical assessment of John McCain's military and political career, alleging that McCain was a "spoiled brat" at Annapolis and a "cowardly" POW. Pieczenik also criticizes General David Petraeus and Bob Kerrey, arguing that false heroes are often created for political purposes. The segment concludes that Trump's public feud with McCain is politically risky because the public is largely unaware of this controversial background.
