# Mint19 > From tractor protests in Paris to the mystery of Code 33 in Florida, the globalist effort to rebrand national traditions meets fierce resistance. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1194 - **Published:** 2019-12-01 - **Length:** 2h 53m - **Topics:** [Code 33](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/code-33.md), Tractor Protests, COPPA, Cult of Trump, [Linux Mint](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/linux-mint.md), PACT Act, [Microgrids](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/microgrids.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1194-mint19 ## About this episode Donald Trump sparked a new wave of digital speculation during a Sunrise, Florida rally by inserting the number 33 into a speech regarding his phone call with the Ukrainian president. The appearance of the number, alongside his 2019 turkey pardon of birds Bread and Butter, has drawn intense scrutiny from observers tracking occult numerology and reverse speech patterns. While the President joked about Adam Schiff during the ceremony, the underlying tension of the impeachment inquiry continues to reshape the national holiday landscape. European agricultural sectors are currently in upheaval as thousands of farmers in Paris and Berlin use tractors to block major highways in protest of new environmental regulations. Domestically, the media has pivoted to a cult narrative, with expert Steven Hassan appearing on CNN to label Trump supporters a destructive group, a claim Scott Adams attributes to Democratic cognitive dissonance. Meanwhile, YouTube has implemented strict COPPA compliance measures following a $170 million FTC settlement, forcing creators to flag content as made for kids or face significant monetization losses. In the legal sphere, Swedish prosecutors dropped sexual assault investigations against Julian Assange for the third time, though he remains in Belmarsh prison facing U.S. extradition. Adam Curry shares a personal update regarding his father’s passing and the importance of maintaining show consistency during family transitions. The segment features a formal knighting ceremony for Dame Kitty and a technical deep dive into why MailChimp and other mass email services are failing deliverability tests. The show concludes with a satirical musical tribute to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and the recurring mystery of romaine lettuce E. coli outbreaks. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Thanksgiving History, Donald Trump Turkey Pardon Ceremony (7:28–11:03) A critique of traditional Thanksgiving folklore traces the holiday's origins to an Abraham Lincoln proclamation rather than the Pilgrims. Donald Trump's 2019 turkey pardon ceremony is analyzed, where he spared birds named Bread and Butter while making jokes about Adam Schiff and the impeachment inquiry. The history of the presidential turkey pardon is attributed to George H.W. Bush as the official founder of the tradition.

Donald Trump Sunrise Florida Rally, Code 33 Mystery (11:04–13:47) During a campaign rally in Sunrise, Florida, Donald Trump inserted the number 33 into a sentence about his "perfect call" and the "elite." The hosts examine the clip to determine if the number was a random slip or a coded message. Speculation includes the possibility of the number holding significance in reverse speech or occult numerology.

Friendsgiving Trends, Globalist Influence on National Traditions (13:47–17:09) The shift from traditional Thanksgiving to "Friendsgiving" is characterized as a globalist effort to diminish national identities. Comparisons are made to the rebranding of Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day and the controversy surrounding the Dutch tradition of Black Pete. One host shares a personal update regarding the recent passing of his father at age 80, noting the importance of family traditions.

European Farmers Revolt, Tractor Protests in Paris and Berlin (17:10–18:33) Farmers across Western Europe, particularly in France and Germany, have initiated massive protests by blocking major highways with thousands of tractors. In Paris and Berlin, thousands of agricultural vehicles occupied city centers to protest environmental regulations and trade policies. The hosts note a lack of mainstream media coverage of these events in the United States due to the focus on impeachment.

Benjamin Franklin Turkey Myth, Presidential Seal History (18:33–22:22) The popular belief that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird is debunked as folklore popularized by a 1962 New Yorker magazine cover. While Franklin criticized the bald eagle in a letter to his daughter, he never formally proposed the turkey as a replacement. Additionally, the myth that the eagle on the presidential seal changes direction during wartime is corrected, noting Harry Truman permanently changed the eagle to face the olive branch in 1945.

Game Changers Documentary, Plant-Based Diet Indoctrination (22:25–26:22) The documentary "The Game Changers," produced by James Cameron and featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is criticized as a tool for plant-based diet indoctrination. The film's claims about Roman gladiators being vegetarians and the performance benefits of veganism for elite athletes are met with skepticism. The discussion links the promotion of "Impossible Meat" to Agenda 21 and globalist dietary control.

EU Cat Tethering Laws, Black Death History (26:23–29:43) A report in the Journal of Environmental Law suggests that the European Union may require cats to be tethered outdoors to protect biodiversity. This leads to a discussion on the historical role of cats in controlling rodent populations, specifically during the Black Death. One host shares an anecdote about a neighborhood mouse infestation that occurred after a local feral cat colony was removed.

PACT Act, Federal Animal Cruelty Legislation (29:43–32:58) President Donald Trump signed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act into law, making certain acts of animal cruelty a federal felony. The legislation specifically targets "animal crushing" videos distributed across state lines or via the internet. The hosts discuss the disturbing nature of the fetish videos that prompted the bipartisan bill.

Cult of Trump Narrative, The Family on Netflix (32:59–38:52) The mainstream media's increasing use of the word "cult" to describe Donald Trump's supporters is analyzed as a coordinated narrative. Rick Perry's comments comparing Trump to Old Testament kings are linked to "The Family," a secretive religious organization in Washington D.C. profiled in a Netflix documentary. The hosts discuss the influence of the late Doug Coe and the "imperfect leader" theology used by evangelical supporters.

Steven Hassan, CNN Interview on Trump Cultism (38:53–44:39) Cult expert Steven Hassan appeared on CNN with Brian Stelter to promote his book, "The Cult of Trump," drawing on his past experience in the Unification Church. Hassan defines Trump's following as a "destructive cult" utilizing mind control and propaganda. The hosts dismiss the interview as psychological projection and criticize the media for pathologizing political support.

Scott Adams, Cognitive Dissonance and Impeachment Worldviews (44:39–49:45) Scott Adams provides an explanation for the "cult" narrative, suggesting it is a defense mechanism for Democrats facing cognitive dissonance. According to Adams, if the Democratic worldview insists Trump committed impeachable offenses but the Senate does not remove him, they must label Republicans as a "cult" to explain the lack of conviction. The hosts discuss how "Lib Joes" (liberal journalists) have consistently mispredicted Trump's resignation or removal.

Brenda Lawrence, Shift from Impeachment to Censure (49:45–52:39) Democratic Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence of Michigan expressed a preference for censuring President Trump rather than removing him from office, citing the proximity of the 2020 election. Lawrence argues that while his behavior is unacceptable, the Senate is unlikely to convict, making a formal "marker" of disapproval more practical. The hosts interpret this as a sign that the impeachment narrative is losing momentum within the Democratic caucus.

Adam Schiff, Jake Tapper Interview on Impeachment Evidence (52:40–58:34) House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff faced questioning from Jake Tapper regarding the lack of direct witnesses to a Trump-ordered quid pro quo. Schiff defended the inquiry by citing "overwhelming" evidence of misconduct while avoiding a definitive stance on whether he personally supports impeachment. The hosts criticize Mick Mulvaney's public comments on quid pro quo as a strategic blunder that provided "red meat" to the media.

Hillary Clinton, Potential 2020 Democratic Primary Entry (58:35–1:02:10) Civil rights attorney Robert Patillo outlines a scenario where Hillary Clinton enters the 2020 race if the early primaries result in a four-way split between Buttigieg, Sanders, Biden, and Warren. The theory suggests that a splintered party would require a "uniting figure" with high name recognition and an established fundraising apparatus. The hosts discuss the possibility of a brokered convention leading to a Clinton nomination.

Elizabeth Warren, Silicon Valley Political Donors (1:02:10–1:06:33) Reports suggest Barack Obama may intervene to prevent Bernie Sanders from securing the nomination, while Elizabeth Warren's campaign struggles to maintain momentum. The hosts discuss the influence of Silicon Valley billionaires like John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins, who fund Democratic candidates in hopes of securing ambassadorships. They argue that these "elite" donors often have a flawed worldview that leads to poor political and technological investments.

The discussion touches on the importance of "regimentation" in podcasting, criticizing shows that take long breaks and lose their audience's "groove." They reiterate their pride in never running a rerun in the show's history.

MailChimp Insider, Email Deliverability Challenges (1:52:03–1:56:20) An anonymous insider at MailChimp provides details on how the service manages IP address trust and whitelisting. The hosts explain that mass email services often face deliverability issues because they bundle legitimate newsletters with potential spam, leading to IP demotion by Gmail and Yahoo. They warn against centralizing email and discuss the technical hurdles of maintaining a "clean" mail server.

Decentralized Email Servers, VPN IP Blocking (1:56:20–2:02:03) The discussion shifts to the merits of decentralized email, with one host advocating for personal mail servers despite the technical difficulty. They suggest that users on free platforms like Gmail "get what they pay for" in terms of privacy and reliability. Additionally, the problem of VPN users being blocked by websites due to "dirty" shared IP addresses used by spammers is explored.

YouTube COPPA Compliance, New Creator Requirements (2:02:04–2:06:10) YouTube has introduced new requirements for creators to mark their content as "made for kids" or "not made for kids" following a $170 million FTC settlement over COPPA violations. The platform is shifting the legal burden of compliance onto individual creators, who must now navigate complex definitions of child-appealing content. Failure to comply could result in fines or the loss of monetization features.

Made for Kids Content, YouTube Feature Restrictions (2:06:10–2:11:39) Videos marked as "made for kids" on YouTube will lose key features starting in January, including comments, personalized advertising, and notification bells. The hosts review the FTC criteria for child-directed content, which includes the use of animated characters, toys, and simple songs. They argue that these changes will significantly decrease revenue for many creators and are part of a broader effort to "cull the herd" of non-brand-friendly content.

Olive Theory, Corporate Cost Cutting and Monetization (2:11:39–2:14:54) The "Olive Theory," based on an American Airlines CEO's decision to remove one olive from salads to save millions, is applied to YouTube's recent policy changes. The hosts suggest that removing comments and other features under the guise of COPPA compliance is actually a cost-cutting measure to save on bandwidth and moderation. They reiterate that the "Value for Value" model is the only sustainable way to monetize a network without corporate interference.

Romaine Lettuce E. Coli Outbreak, Media Scripting (2:33:46–2:38:53) The hosts compare news reports of a current E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce from Salinas, California, with reports from exactly one year prior. They note that the statistics—16 states affected, dozens hospitalized—and the scripts used by news anchors are nearly identical. This leads to speculation about whether the outbreaks are legitimate, an extortion racket, or a recurring media "scare" script.

California Microgrids, PG&E Energy Control (2:38:53–2:43:24) California's rollout of "microgrids" as a solution to PG&E power shutoffs is scrutinized. A reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle admits that many current microgrids are actually temporary diesel generators rather than permanent green energy solutions. The hosts argue that microgrids are a "scam" designed for ultimate energy control, allowing utilities to remotely manage or shut off individual household appliances.
