## About this episode

The Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, Florida, has triggered a wave of speculative theories involving 40-year-old Chinese copper piping and microscopic rebar corrosion. While Mayor Charles Burkett describes the site as a catastrophe, mainstream media outlets like Fox Business and CBS are already attributing the structural failure to climate change and rising sea levels. This narrative persists despite data showing the building sank only 2.3 inches over three decades, a fraction of the sinkage seen in San Francisco’s Millennium Tower.

Nike CEO John Donahoe recently declared the company is a brand for China, highlighting a growing tension between corporate ESG goals and the use of forced labor. Meanwhile, the FAA is moving to replace terms like cockpit with flight deck, and Mastercard is launching its True Name initiative to allow chosen names on credit cards without legal changes. In Ohio, Donald Trump returned to the rally stage to criticize the woke military and promote Dr. Frank’s reverse engineering of the 2020 election results, while officially joining the video platform Rumble.

President Joe Biden faced criticism for a series of public gaffes, including confusing the Tuskegee Airmen with the subjects of the syphilis experiment and repeatedly misidentifying the Baton Rouge police chief. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze these moments alongside the professionalization of the American Cornhole League and the rise of the douchebag trend at Florida meetups. The episode concludes with a look at Mark Lane’s CIA sheep dipping tactics and the media blackout of massive anti-lockdown protests in London.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 1359 of No Agenda, broadcasting from Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. They discuss the extreme heat across the Western United States and Washington while San Francisco remains cool. The hosts perform a ritual using official rain sticks from Utah, made by Dame Sherry, intended to bring relief to the parched Western states.

### 2. Surfside Condo Collapse, Chinese Copper Pipe Theory (3:10–7:45)

The discussion focuses on the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, Florida. A theory is presented suggesting that 40-year-old Chinese copper piping with microscopic punctures caused long-term water damage to the concrete structure. This moisture allegedly led to rebar corrosion and "palling," where expanding metal cracks the concrete from within, eventually compromising the building's integrity.

### 3. Surfside Sinkage Data, Millennium Tower Comparison (7:45–9:21)

Analysis of reports from Florida International University indicates the Surfside building was sinking at two millimeters per year. This total sinkage of approximately 2.3 inches over 30 years is compared to the Millennium Tower in San Francisco, which has sunk 16 inches. Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett describes the scene as a catastrophe resembling a bomb site.

### 4. Climate Change Narrative, Media Coverage of Surfside (9:22–13:20)

Mainstream media outlets, including Fox Business and CBS, are criticized for attributing the Surfside collapse to climate change and rising sea levels. Former MTV VJ Kennedy is noted for repeating talking points regarding environmental factors and soil movement. The hosts argue that the 30-year sinkage data is being used inconsistently to fit a specific narrative.

### 5. HAARP Earthquake Machine, Directed Energy Weapon Theories (13:20–15:57)

Alternative theories regarding the Surfside collapse are explored, including the potential use of HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) in Alaska. A speculative theory suggests the facility was used as an "earthquake machine" to target a nearby condo owned by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, but missed. The hosts dismiss the idea of a directed energy weapon due to a lack of visual evidence.

### 6. John McAfee, Falsified 31 Terabyte Tweet (15:57–18:29)

A viral tweet attributed to the late John McAfee claims he stored 31 terabytes of incriminating files in a condo near 88th Street and Collins Avenue. The hosts identify this as a hoax, explaining how the Document Object Model (DOM) of a webpage can be edited to create fake screenshots. They also note ongoing underground fires at the Surfside site, speculating on the involvement of Tesla batteries.

### 7. Nike CEO John Donahoe, China Brand Loyalty (18:31–21:11)

Nike CEO John Donahoe stated during a quarterly conference call that Nike is "a brand of China and for China." This comment sparks a discussion on the company's reliance on Chinese consumer equity and the apparent conflict between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and the use of slave labor. The hosts suggest consumers have many alternatives like Adidas, Puma, and Under Armour.

### 8. FAA Gender Neutral Language, Cockpit Etymology (21:11–22:41)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly adopting gender-neutral language, replacing terms like "airman" with "aviator" and "cockpit" with "flight deck." The hosts investigate the etymology of "cockpit," finding it originally referred to a pit for fighting roosters, and mock the perceived overreach of political correctness in aviation.

Mastercard has launched the "True Name" initiative, allowing transgender and non-binary individuals to display their chosen name on credit cards without a legal name change.

EU leaders, led by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, clashed with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán over a new law banning the portrayal of homosexuality to minors. Rutte's comment about bringing Hungary "to its knees" is analyzed as a potentially poor translation of a common Dutch idiom. The hosts discuss the tension between national sovereignty and EU "shared values."

Donald Trump held a rally in Ohio featuring Marjorie Taylor Greene and a speaker identified as Dr. Frank.

The hosts discuss a theory circulating in "patriot" circles, including the X22 Report, suggesting that Trump is allowing the public to "feel the pain" of the current administration before a planned reinstatement in the August-September timeframe. They note how Podcasting 2.0 allows these kicked-off shows to remain accessible outside of Apple's ecosystem.

### 32. Toronto Call-In, Spike Protein Shedding (1:53:16–1:58:02)

A Toronto radio show features callers discussing vaccine experiences. One caller describes a woman who suffered a severe skin reaction after visiting a recently vaccinated dentist, which her doctor allegedly attributed to "spike protein shedding."

### 33. Andrew Marr, Breakthrough Infections (1:58:03–2:02:58)

BBC broadcaster Andrew Marr describes catching a "bloody unpleasant" case of COVID-19 despite being double-vaccinated. A government advisor tells Marr the vaccines are "remarkably effective" at preventing death, even if they fail to prevent infection.

The CEO of Make-A-Wish America, Richard Davis, announced that the foundation will resume air travel wishes for vaccinated families. However, the hosts point out a "workaround" in the policy: the foundation will not ask for proof of vaccination, only a signed letter of understanding, which they interpret as a way to fulfill wishes without strict enforcement.
