Economic indicators remain resilient as Nobel laureate Robert Shiller credits Donald Trump for acting as a motivational speaker for American consumption. In the legal sphere, the James Younger gender transition case in Texas and the Jessica Yaniv human rights tribunal ruling in Canada have ignited a global debate over gender ideology and parental rights. Meanwhile, John Pilger reports from London on the deteriorating health of Julian Assange during extradition hearings he compares to a Moscow show trial. In Spain, violent riots have paralyzed Barcelona following the sentencing of nine Catalan separatist leaders including Oriol Junqueras. This 12th-anniversary broadcast features a musical parody of Tulsi Gabbard and Hillary Clinton titled Tulsi Mash. The hosts celebrate the No Agenda community with a knighting ceremony for Sir Destro and Alexa Delgado while debating the merits of Pennsylvania maple syrup versus sorghum pancakes. A classic rant on airplane etiquette explores the fisting method of eating peanuts as the show transitions to a new exit strategy for the upcoming election cycle. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
