## About this episode

Canada is enforcing strict border controls to close the Alaska loophole, directing all U.S. travelers through specific British Columbia checkpoints like Abbotsford-Huntington. Violators face fines of $750,000 and potential imprisonment as the Trudeau administration tightens pandemic travel restrictions. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is accelerating the development of FedNow, a universal digital banking directory designed to marginalize cash and implement biometric transaction tracking by 2023.

In international affairs, Ambassador Richard Grenell criticized the Washington press corps for failing to grasp the historical nuances of the Serbia-Kosovo economic normalization deal. The agreement effectively blocks Huawei and Chinese 5G expansion in the Balkans while diversifying regional energy supplies. Simultaneously, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews faces intense backlash for extending Melbourne's Stage 4 lockdown, which includes a five-kilometer travel limit and controversial police enforcement tactics. In the United States, Dr. Scott Atlas has joined the White House coronavirus task force, sparking a debate over herd immunity strategies as NPR and public health officials challenge his approach to reopening the economy.

Cultural tensions peak as George Washington University professor Jessica Krug admits to fabricating a Black identity for years. The episode also features a breakdown of Joe Biden’s inaccurate claim regarding Lewis Latimer and the invention of the light bulb. Listeners from New South Wales to Tennessee contributed to the value-for-value model, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sir Gene Morphis and the technical innovations of Sir Proteus.

### 1. Canada Border Restrictions, Alaska Loophole Fines (0:00–2:33)

Canada is implementing stricter border controls to prevent Americans from using the "Alaska loophole" to enter the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travelers heading to Alaska are now restricted to specific points of entry in British Columbia, including Abbotsford-Huntington and Kingsgate, and must display a hang tag on their rearview mirror. Violators face fines up to $750,000 and potential prison time, as seen in a recent case involving an American traveler in Alberta.

### 6. Homelessness Tracking, Digital Wallets, Obama Phones (17:04–18:51)

Government programs may utilize digital payment systems to increase surveillance and tracking of homeless populations. By providing smartphones, often referred to as "Obama phones," agencies can require "clients" to use digital wallets for benefits, potentially tying access to compliance with health mandates or vaccine testing. This shift would effectively turn every individual into a trackable number within the financial system.

### 7. Zelle Terms of Service, Prohibited Payments, Financial Monitoring (18:52–22:03)

The Zelle payment service includes strict terms of service that prohibit transactions related to firearms, ammunition, tobacco, and adult services.

### 36. Value for Value Model, Serbia-Kosovo Economic Deal (1:45:44–1:48:58)

The No Agenda show operates on a "value for value" model, relying on listener support rather than traditional advertising. This model supports the show's analysis of events like the recent economic normalization deal between Serbia and Kosovo brokered by the White House.

Ambassador Richard Grenell criticized Washington D.C. journalists for failing to ask substantive questions about the Serbia-Kosovo economic agreement.

The exchange went viral as Grenell challenged the media's lack of preparation.

### 38. Balkan 5G Restrictions, China Economic Cock-Blocking (1:52:23–1:55:27)

The Serbia-Kosovo agreement specifically prohibits the use of 5G equipment from "untrusted vendors," a move clearly aimed at Chinese company Huawei. The deal also involves diversifying energy supplies, potentially opening the market for U.S. liquid petroleum gas (LPG). By facilitating these infrastructure and energy shifts, the U.S. is effectively blocking China's "Belt and Road" expansion into the Balkans.

The Chinese Communist Party's Xinhua News Agency published a 30,000-word rebuttal to a speech by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which backfired as Chinese netizens expressed support for his criticisms.

The move aims to curb Russia's "malign influence" in Europe by targeting companies involved in the pipeline's construction.

A C-SPAN caller proposed a theory linking the Electoral College to the control of the U.S. food supply and the spread of COVID-19 in meatpacking plants. The caller characterized this as a form of "terrorism" originating from the political system. Such segments are highlighted as high-value "hit programming" that reflects the diverse and often eccentric views found in public call-in shows.

A caller from San Angelo, Texas, questioned the logic of replacing police officers with social workers in the event of a violent crime like arson.

This reflects a broader national debate over the "defund the police" movement and the role of social services in public safety.

### 47. Light Bulb Invention, Lewis Latimer, Joe Biden Fact Check (2:15:56–2:18:22)

Joe Biden recently claimed that a Black man, not Thomas Edison, invented the light bulb. While Lewis Latimer, a Black inventor, did patent a significant improvement to the carbon filament, Edison held the original patent for the light bulb itself a year prior. Latimer eventually worked for Edison's company, and while his contributions were vital, the claim that he was the sole inventor is historically inaccurate.

Professor Idris Robinson cited a James Baldwin short story to argue that racism is driven by deep "libidinal drives" and sexual mutilation. Critics argue that using fictional stories as a basis for sociological analysis is flawed and that such lectures are intentionally provocative.

PBS reporting on the Breonna Taylor shooting has been criticized for omitting key details, such as the fact that her boyfriend fired at police first, hitting an officer. The narrative often suggests Taylor was shot while sleeping, ignoring the exchange of gunfire that occurred during the execution of the search warrant. This is cited as an example of the "M5M" (Mainstream Media) simplifying complex events to fit a specific political narrative.

The death of Daniel Prude in police custody has been reported as a "suffocation" caused by a hood placed on his head.
