# Vinyl Vote > Global energy markets reel from a sophisticated drone strike on Saudi refineries while Democratic hopefuls trade barbs over record players and universal basic income in Houston. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1173 - **Published:** 2019-09-19 - **Length:** 2h 51m - **Topics:** Abqaiq strike, iPhone U1, Eddie Money, Yang UBI, SF6 gas, MyLife scam, Biden record player - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1173-vinyl-vote ## About this episode The Abqaiq refinery and Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia suffered a massive drone swarm attack that disrupted ten percent of global oil production. While Houthi rebels claimed credit, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pointed to Iranian involvement, citing evidence that the projectiles were long-range cruise missiles rather than standard drones. The geopolitical fallout coincides with the passing of rock legend Eddie Money, who died at age 70 following a public battle with esophageal cancer. Democratic primary candidates Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, and Bernie Sanders used the Houston debate stage to launch aggressive broadsides against the Trump administration. Andrew Yang drew mockery from Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar for his plan to pilot a Universal Basic Income program for ten families, while Joe Biden faced scrutiny for his mental acuity after suggesting parents play record players for their children. In the tech sector, Apple's new iPhone 11 introduces the U1 location chip, creating a mesh network that allows constant background scanning of physical environments. Meanwhile, the University of Alabama is utilizing the Fan Maker app to track student attendance in football stadiums, and MyLife.com faces backlash for its aggressive reputation-score SEO tactics. Rock musician Eddie Money is remembered for his gravelly voice and his 1980s MTV comeback after surviving a drug-induced coma. Marianne Williamson provided a rare candid moment when a hot mic captured her admitting that Fox News conservatives were kinder to her than her peers on the left. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down these stories alongside the environmental impact of SF6 gas in wind turbines and the latest fallout from the MIT Epstein scandal. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Saudi Arabia Oil Facility Drone Strikes, Houthi Rebel Claims (0:00–13:18) Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq refinery and Khurais oil field were targeted by drone strikes, disrupting 10% of global oil production. While Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the ten-drone swarm, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo alleged Iranian involvement, citing a lack of evidence that the launch originated from Yemen. Reports from sources in the region suggest the projectiles may have been cruise missiles rather than standard drones due to the 500-mile range required for the mission.

This trend mirrors the rise of social credit-style systems where third-party companies monetize personal behavioral data for employers and lenders.

While effective, leaks of SF6 pose a significant environmental risk, leading to calls for stricter regulation or more expensive alternatives in the green energy sector.
