## About this episode

Juul Labs and its parent company Altria are deploying a legislative strategy across the United States to secure a market monopoly by preempting local vaping ordinances. Governor Gretchen Whitmer recently moved to make Michigan the first state to ban flavored e-cigarettes, a decision that industry critics claim will shutter independent shops while favoring large tobacco-backed entities. Federal investigators at the CDC and FDA are currently focusing on vitamin E acetate in black-market THC cartridges as the primary cause of recent respiratory illnesses, despite media narratives often conflating these illicit products with regulated nicotine devices.

In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is utilizing direct-to-voter Twitter videos to bypass traditional media while accusing Jeremy Corbyn of obstructing Brexit negotiations. Meanwhile, the BBC faces criticism for its coverage of the EU settled status scheme, which skeptics argue uses emotional narratives to stall the UK's departure. In Hong Kong, demonstrators are waving American flags and employing the Bridgefy mesh networking app to evade state surveillance as protests enter their 14th week. Domestically, the Department of Justice has issued a controversial court order demanding user data from Apple and Google regarding the Obsidian 4 gunscope app, raising significant Fourth Amendment concerns.

Kamala Harris continues to face scrutiny for her response to plastic straw bans and a recent town hall incident involving the R-word, while Elizabeth Warren reportedly holds private strategy sessions with Hillary Clinton. The program also examines the 1889 National Hobo Convention ethical code as a contrast to modern homelessness crises in Austin and San Francisco. This episode features contributions from the No Agenda Round Table, including the knighting of Sir Henry of the Flower Field and KD Sir Plus.

### 1. Hurricane Dorian, Decimated Word Usage (0:00–4:05)

Hurricane Dorian impacted Nova Scotia and the British Isles after causing significant destruction in the Bahamas, specifically the island of Abaco and Marsh Harbor. A linguistic critique of the word "decimated" notes that its historical Roman definition refers to the removal of 10% of a group, though modern usage has evolved to mean total destruction. Media reports are criticized for using the term inaccurately while describing the storm's aftermath.

### 2. Donald Trump, Sharpiegate Weather Map Controversy (4:05–9:26)

President Donald Trump displayed a modified National Hurricane Center map in the Oval Office that included a hand-drawn black line extending Hurricane Dorian's path into Alabama. The incident, dubbed "Sharpiegate," led to a public dispute between the White House and the National Weather Service, which had previously stated Alabama would not be impacted. Critics and mental health professionals analyzed the president's refusal to admit the forecast error.

### 3. Juul Labs, Big Tobacco Vaping Lobbying Strategy (9:26–14:51)

Juul Labs, partially owned by Altria (formerly Philip Morris), is accused of utilizing Big Tobacco's historical playbook to secure market dominance through state-level legislation. The company employs hundreds of lobbyists to push for state laws that preempt local city ordinances, effectively making it harder for independent vape shops to operate. This strategy aims to position Juul as the primary FDA-approved option while eliminating smaller competitors.

### 4. Michigan E-Cigarette Ban, Flavored Liquid Restrictions (14:51–17:25)

Governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered Michigan to become the first state to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, citing deceptive advertising aimed at children. The ban includes menthol and mint flavors, which industry leaders argue are necessary to help adult smokers transition away from combustible tobacco. Independent vape shop owners warn that the removal of flavored products will force their businesses to close.

### 5. Vitamin E Acetate, THC Vaping Illness Investigation (17:25–21:18)

The CDC and FDA are investigating a surge in respiratory illnesses linked to vaping, with a specific focus on vitamin E acetate found in black-market THC cartridges. While mainstream media reports often conflate nicotine vaping with illicit THC products, health officials suggest the thickening agents used in unregulated oils are the likely cause of lung damage. The regulatory response is expected to favor large, established companies capable of navigating expensive FDA approval processes.

### 6. Oxford University Study, Vegetarian Diet Stroke Risk (21:19–26:12)

A long-term observational study from the University of Oxford involving 48,000 participants suggests that while vegetarian and vegan diets lower the risk of heart disease, they may be linked to a slight increase in the risk of stroke. Researchers speculate that deficiencies in certain vitamins, such as B12, could contribute to this risk. Media coverage of the study is criticized for potentially being influenced by the meat industry to counter the "meatless" movement.

### 9. Boris Johnson, Brexit Twitter Strategy and Parliament (32:40–38:26)

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has adopted a direct-to-voter communication style on Twitter, releasing selfie-style videos to explain his Brexit negotiations. Johnson accused Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn of attempting to force a "pointless delay" by begging Brussels for an extension until 2020. Speculation regarding Johnson's strategy includes the possibility of him refusing to follow new laws, potentially facing contempt of court to force an October 31st exit.

### 10. BBC Brexit Coverage, EU Settled Status Scheme (38:27–41:45)

The BBC is criticized for using "sob stories" to influence public opinion against Brexit, specifically highlighting the case of an EU citizen living in Bristol. The report focused on the emotional impact of the "settled status" scheme on families who have lived in the UK for over a decade. The segment argues that such media portrayals ignore the potential economic benefits of the UK establishing independent trade deals with the United States.

A massive "People's Vote" protest is scheduled for October 19th in London, with organizers demanding a second referendum on the UK's departure from the EU. The digital infrastructure for the march's fundraising utilizes NationBuilder, a platform originally developed by associates of the Obama administration. Critics suggest the march is being orchestrated by globalist consultants to stall the Brexit process.

### 13. Bridgefy App, Mesh Networking in Protests (50:45–55:26)

Hong Kong protesters are reportedly using Bridgefy, a Bluetooth-based mesh networking app, to communicate without relying on traditional internet or cellular networks that can be monitored by the state. While the app offers a way to bypass censorship, concerns remain regarding the inherent trackability of Bluetooth signals in retail and urban environments. Other niche apps, such as the "5% Club" for users with low battery, are mentioned as emerging digital trends.

### 15. National Hobo Convention, Ethical Code of 1889 (58:50–1:01:34)

The 1889 National Hobo Convention in St. Louis established an ethical code for "tourists" (hobos) that emphasized self-reliance, respect for nature, and community assistance. The code instructed travelers to stay clean, help in "jungles" (camps), and avoid causing trouble for railroad crews. This historical context is contrasted with modern homelessness issues, suggesting a loss of the self-governing standards once held by transient populations.

### 16. Affordable Housing Incentives Act, Real Estate Speculation (1:01:35–1:05:53)

The "Affordable Housing Incentives Act" is scrutinized as a potential real estate scam designed to benefit property owners rather than the unhoused. By removing capital gains taxes on properties sold for affordable housing, the bill may incentivize developers to flip real estate in rapidly expanding cities like Austin and San Francisco. Critics argue that the "affordable housing" narrative is used to bypass local ordinances while failing to address the root causes of homelessness.

### 17. No Agenda Art, Bongo-Bongoland Title Controversy (1:05:54–1:11:07)

The selection of podcast album art and titles involves a collaborative vetting process to avoid inappropriate imagery or offensive language. A proposed title, "Bongo-Bongoland," was rejected after research revealed it is a pejorative British term for Third World countries, potentially originating from the name of Gabon's former president, Omar Bongo. Similarly, artwork featuring a drowning child was deemed unsuitable despite its technical quality.

### 18. PodPass Protocol, Value for Value Model (1:11:07–1:19:36)

The "PodPass" proposal for an open podcasting protocol is criticized for encouraging a "premium content" model that hides the best work behind paywalls. This approach is compared to the unbundling of music albums by iTunes, which reduced the perceived value of individual tracks. The "Value for Value" model is presented as a superior alternative, allowing listeners to determine the worth of the content through transparent, voluntary donations without artificial price floors.

### 21. KFI Los Angeles, Fresh Loaf ISO (1:34:39–1:36:00)

A report from KFI Los Angeles regarding homeless encampments near residential areas inspired a new "ISO" (In Search Of) soundbite titled "Fresh Loaf on the Ground." The segment describes the deteriorating sanitary conditions in California cities, where residents frequently encounter human waste on public sidewalks. The hosts use the anecdote to highlight the failure of local government to maintain basic public health standards.

### 23. DOJ Data Request, Obsidian 4 GunScope App (1:39:30–1:43:41)

The Department of Justice filed a court order demanding that Apple and Google hand over the personal data of more than 10,000 users of the "Obsidian 4" gunscope app. The app, produced by American Technologies Network Corp, allows users to calibrate high-end rifle scopes via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Privacy advocates view the request as an unprecedented move that potentially violates Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.

### 24. FCC Spectrum Auction, 5G Transition Rescan (1:43:42–1:46:34)

The FCC has ordered approximately 1,000 over-the-air (OTA) television stations to reconfigure their broadcast frequencies to make room for 5G cellular networks. This transition requires viewers who use antennas to rescan their television channels to maintain access to local programming. The move follows a multi-year spectrum auction process where broadcasters sold off frequencies to telecommunications companies.

### 25. Credit Access and Inclusion Act, Social Scoring (1:46:36–1:51:56)

The "Credit Access and Inclusion Act of 2019" aims to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to include utility, telecommunication, and subsidized housing payments in consumer credit reports. While framed as a way to help the "unbanked" build credit, critics argue it creates a social scoring system that tracks the behavior of the poor and young. The segment also warns against using apps like Credit Karma due to their data-sharing ties with Google.

### 26. Kamala Harris, Plastic Straw Ban Gaffe (1:51:57–1:54:18)

Senator Kamala Harris faced criticism for her response to a question about banning plastic straws, where she giggled while discussing the difficulty of using paper alternatives. Observers characterized the laughter as inappropriate for a presidential candidate discussing policy. The segment suggests that Harris's inconsistent positions on environmental bans and criminal justice are contributing to her declining poll numbers.

Kamala Harris was involved in a controversy after an attendee at a town hall used the phrase "mentally retarded action" to describe President Trump's policies. Harris, who is half-Indian, was accused of pretending not to hear the specific wording despite responding "well said" to the questioner. The incident sparked a debate about the use of the "R-word" in political discourse and Harris's subsequent attempt to distance herself from the remark.

NBC News reported that Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton have been holding secret discussions as the 2020 Democratic primary intensifies. The closer relationship between the two women has led to speculation that Clinton may be positioning herself to influence the race or potentially re-enter the political arena. Meanwhile, media outlets appear to be shifting their focus away from Joe Biden as his polling numbers begin to decline.

### 31. Anthony Scaramucci, Trump Racial Trope Criticism (2:06:39–2:11:18)

In an interview with the CBC, Anthony Scaramucci stated that his "red line" with President Trump was the use of racial tropes against minority Congresswomen. Scaramucci compared the rhetoric to the discrimination his Italian grandparents faced a century ago. Some analysts suggest Scaramucci's public break with Trump may be a calculated "WWE-style" performance rather than a genuine ideological shift.

### 32. Democratic Rhetoric, This Nation vs Our Country (2:11:19–2:13:43)

A linguistic analysis of Democratic campaign speeches, particularly those by Joe Biden, notes a preference for the phrases "this nation" and "our democracy" over "our country." Critics argue that the use of "this nation" creates a sense of detachment, while the emphasis on "democracy" ignores the United States' constitutional status as a republic. The segment suggests these word choices are intentional rhetorical shifts designed to frame political arguments.

### 33. No Agenda Donor Acknowledgments, Birthday Wishes (2:13:43–2:21:30)

The hosts acknowledge a wide range of donations from listeners in Australia, Germany, and the United States, including several "de-douching" requests and birthday tributes. Notable contributions came from "Black Knight Sir Lineman of the Net" and "Dame Pamela Haag," who proposed an "Uber-style" system for relocating the homeless.

### 36. Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Exchange, Volodymyr Zelensky (2:28:08–2:30:29)

Russia and Ukraine completed a major prisoner exchange involving 35 individuals from each side, a move Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called a first step toward ending the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The exchange included 24 Ukrainian sailors captured by Russia and a suspect linked to the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Zelensky, a former comedic actor, has faced a unique media reception due to his unconventional background.

### 37. Robert Mugabe Death, Zimbabwe Political Legacy (2:30:29–2:34:33)

Robert Mugabe, the former leader of Zimbabwe, died at the age of 95 in a Singapore hospital. While initially celebrated as a liberation hero who ended white minority rule, his 37-year tenure became defined by economic collapse, corruption, and human rights abuses. An anecdote from a former farmer describes Mugabe as having a "reptilian" and "cold" physical presence, reflecting his reputation as an "evil genius."

### 38. Gun Violence Statistics, Suicide vs Mass Shootings (2:34:33–2:36:51)

A report from The Guardian and NPR highlights that two-thirds of gun deaths in the United States are suicides, while mass shootings account for only 1% to 2% of fatalities. The analysis suggests that the national conversation on gun control is often "racist" because it prioritizes rare suburban school shootings over the daily violence affecting minority communities. Activists from Parkland have been noted for acknowledging this disparity in media attention.

### 39. Solutions Journalism, Activism in Media Reporting (2:36:51–2:42:11)

"Solutions Journalism" is identified as a reporting style that focuses on responses to social problems rather than just the problems themselves. Critics argue this approach is a form of activism masquerading as journalism, as it seeks to catalyze social change rather than provide objective facts. The segment suggests that modern news organizations have abandoned traditional reporting in favor of "curative" or "constructive" narratives.

### 40. India Moon Lander, Canadian Swatting Pranks (2:42:13–2:45:39)

India's space agency lost contact with its Vikram lunar lander just one mile above the moon's surface, ending its mission to explore the lunar south pole. Separately, a report from the CBC details a "swatting" incident in Alberta where an innocent family was held at gunpoint by police following a prank call. Criminologists are calling for better dispatcher training to prevent these dangerous and potentially lethal law enforcement responses.

### 41. USC Admissions Scandal, VIP Donor Tracking (2:45:40–2:49:13)

Court filings related to the college admissions scandal revealed that the University of Southern California (USC) tracked applicants using spreadsheets that labeled them as "VIPs" based on their families' donation potential. Some notes explicitly mentioned million-dollar pledges in exchange for admission consideration. The segment argues that the "American Way" involves direct donations to institutions rather than the illegal bribery schemes used by those indicted in the scandal.

### 42. Show Outro, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, Alan Jones Mix (2:49:15–2:58:02)

The program concludes with a preview of an upcoming tour of the "Community First Village" by Mobile Loaves and Fishes in Austin. The hosts sign off from their respective locations in Texas and Silicon Valley, followed by an "end-of-show mixer" featuring various soundbites and a musical tribute to Australian shock jock Alan Jones.
