The case, which involved Bolton sharing diary entries with relatives for a book project, carries a potential five-year prison sentence and a $2 million fine. Sentencing is scheduled for October 28th, marking a sharp reversal for a figure who previously advocated for the prosecution of Donald Trump over similar document-handling violations. Apollo Global Management founder Leon Black faces two subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee regarding non-disclosure agreements linked to Jeffrey Epstein. In the UK, Keir Starmer announced his resignation as Labour Party leader, positioning Andy Burnham as a likely successor amid comparisons to 1970s-era political instability. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling affirming presidential authority over Temporary Protected Status, as former ICE Director Tom Homan warns of the program's use to bypass immigration laws. Ranchers in the American West report a surge in Asian Longhorned Tick infestations, which some industry insiders like Texas Slim attribute to targeted operations by foreign-owned meatpackers. British activist Tommy Robinson recently toured Texas churches with Laura Logan to warn of a looming cultural takeover. In a lighter moment, a listener from Brentwood reports that suburban women are fueling a massive Mahjong resurgence, with designer Taylor Swift-themed tile sets retailing for $500. The show celebrates its 19th year as hosts reflect on the longevity of the Value for Value model compared to the declining CPMs of traditional podcast advertising. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

No Agenda Meetups, Loneliness and Celebrity Guest Strategy (0:00–6:51) The hosts evaluate the success of recent No Agenda meetups in Berlin, Japan, and Australia, noting a shift away from "heads on sticks" props. Citing a message from Pastor Brian regarding a 57% loneliness rate among Americans, the discussion emphasizes the role of these gatherings in providing social connection. A new strategy is proposed to "up the ante" by encouraging producers to bring celebrity guests and implementing "gimmicks" like certificates or exclusive stickers from the No Agenda Sticker Club.

Mahjong Mania, Suburban Women and Designer Tiles (6:51–9:56) A listener from Brentwood, Tennessee, reports on the massive resurgence of Mahjong among suburban women in the 40-plus demographic. The report details a booming industry where designer tile sets sell for $500, including specialized themes like Taylor Swift "Swifty" tiles and patriotic versions. The hosts consider the potential for a No Agenda-themed Mahjong set as an exit strategy for the show's merchandise.

Democratic Socialists, New York Primaries and Pothole Claims (9:56–19:46) Senator Tim Kaine and other establishment Democrats react to the primary victories of three "radical left" candidates in New York City backed by Zohran Mamdani. While Donald Trump characterizes the winners as "hardcore godless communists," the candidates defend their platform as pragmatic democratic socialism focused on working-class needs. A specific claim regarding the repair of 165,000 potholes in New York City is scrutinized for its statistical plausibility.

Corporate Power, Billionaire Taxes and Gavin Newsom (19:49–26:55) Senator Chris Murphy advocates for a $25 minimum wage and a stronger stance against corporate power, while California Governor Gavin Newsom proposes a national billionaires tax and a "new social contract." The hosts critique Newsom's rhetoric regarding the concentration of wealth, arguing that inheritance tax changes would negatively impact family farms and small businesses. The discussion suggests Newsom is adopting these "radical" ideas to position himself for a future presidential run.

Democratic Socialists of America, David Sachs and The Squad (26:56–35:44) David Sachs provides an analysis of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) manifesto, which includes calls to abolish the Senate, ICE, and the Electoral College. The discussion highlights a specific 32-year-old PhD candidate in New York who has made controversial statements regarding Western civilization and the American flag. The hosts debate whether the DSA is successfully using the Democratic Party as a "ballot access vehicle," drawing parallels to the earlier rise of "The Squad" and Justice Democrats.

CIA Election Interference, Nixon 1972 and 2028 Predictions (35:44–42:40) An analytical theory suggests that the current rise of radical left candidates is a "setup" orchestrated by the intelligence community, mirroring the 1972 election where George McGovern was positioned to lose in a landslide to Richard Nixon. The hosts discuss JD Vance's recent comments comparing Trump's first term to the "deep state" removal of Nixon. The theory posits that the Democratic Party is being intentionally pushed toward radicalism to ensure a Republican landslide in 2028.

Muslim Takeover 2027, The Daily Wire and Terror Warnings (42:41–46:24) The Daily Wire's "Morning Wire" podcast is criticized for promoting a "Muslim Takeover 2027" narrative through alarmist audio and imagery. The segment includes reports of terror warnings in Northern Virginia and protests in Dearborn and Chicago. The hosts interpret this as a specific Republican campaign "play" designed to drive voter turnout by stoking fears of radical Islam.

World Cup Tourism, Bill Maher and Patriotic Sentiment (46:26–54:14) Bill Maher's recent "New Rule" segment praising American exceptionalism during the World Cup is analyzed as a potential psychological operation to boost national morale. Maher highlighted American achievements in R&D, GDP, and Nobel Prizes while contrasting the U.S. system with struggling nations. The hosts debate whether viral videos of European tourists being "amazed" by American stores like Costco are authentic or staged marketing.

Trump Attendance, Media Bias and Podcast Consultants (54:16–1:01:06) The media's focus on "empty seats" at Donald Trump's recent speeches is discussed as a tactic to show a lack of enthusiasm. This leads to a tangent about the "consultant class" on LinkedIn who constantly offer to grow the show's numbers through SEO and video styling. One host shares a personal anecdote about being locked out of LinkedIn due to two-factor authentication delays on an Arch Linux device.

John Bolton, Classified Documents and Guilty Plea (1:01:07–1:05:02) Former National Security Advisor John Bolton pleaded guilty in a Maryland federal court to a single felony count of unlawfully retaining national defense information. The case involved Bolton sharing diary-like entries with relatives for a potential book. The hosts highlight the irony of Bolton's previous calls for Donald Trump's prosecution over similar document-handling issues. Bolton faces a $2 million fine and up to five years in prison, with sentencing set for October 28th.

Leon Black, Jeffrey Epstein and Congressional Subpoenas (1:05:03–1:08:16) Apollo Global Management founder Leon Black was served with two subpoenas by the House Oversight Committee after refusing to answer questions about non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) related to Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoenas demand a deposition on July 16th and the disclosure of all NDAs Black is party to. Black's attorney maintains that his client never engaged in sex trafficking or abuse and that the payments to Epstein were legitimate.

Citizen Vigilante Movie, Elon Musk and European Censorship (1:08:16–1:10:31) Elon Musk posted the full video of the movie "Citizen Vigilante" on X after reports that German authorities attempted to ban the film. The movie, which features Armie Hammer, is described by the hosts as extremely violent and poorly acted but effective in its marketing as "forbidden" content. The discussion links the film's release to Musk's ongoing conflicts with European Union regulators over speech on his platform.

Keir Starmer Resignation, Andy Burnham and British Politics (1:10:33–1:16:40) Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as leader of the UK Labour Party, marking the sixth British Prime Minister to leave office in a decade. Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is identified as the leading contender to replace him. The hosts compare the current British political instability to the 1970s, predicting that the "left-wing churn" will eventually lead to the rise of a new Thatcherite conservative figure.

Tommy Robinson, Laura Logan and Texas Church Tour (1:16:42–1:18:12) British activist Tommy Robinson recently toured Texas, appearing on Laura Logan's show and speaking at various churches. Robinson's message focused on warnings of a "Muslim takeover" within 18 months. The hosts discuss his effectiveness as a speaker despite his controversial reputation and criminal history in the United Kingdom.

Rand Paul, Anthony Fauci and the Preemptive Pardon (1:18:13–1:23:10) Senator Rand Paul is challenging the legality of a broad, preemptive pardon reportedly granted to Dr. Anthony Fauci by President Joe Biden. Paul argues that the pardon is too unspecified, covering a ten-year period without naming a specific crime. Legal analysts suggest that while the executive branch has broad pardon powers, the "auto-pen" signature and Biden's mental state raise questions about whether the pardon was "knowingly and intelligently" issued.

UAP Disclosure Movement, NASA Photos and Metadata (1:23:11–1:28:19) The modern UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) disclosure movement is criticized as "falling apart" following underwhelming reports. The hosts mock a New York Times-linked group of "insiders" who claim to have started the push. Discussion focuses on recent NASA photos from the Apollo era showing anomalous objects above the moon, though skeptics argue the lack of high-fidelity video and the focus on "stripping metadata" suggests a lack of substantive evidence.

Sean Ryan, Brian Keating and Alien PsyOps (1:28:19–1:34:47) Podcaster Sean Ryan and physicist Brian Keating express frustration with the current state of "alien disclosure," labeling it a series of "Sci-Ops" designed to titillate the public. They argue that the timing of UFO stories often coincides with Hollywood movie releases or political scandals like the Epstein files. The hosts agree that the lack of collaboration among "disclosure" advocates is a major red flag.

NPR Ebola Coverage, AI Voice Scripts and USAID Cuts (1:34:46–1:43:50) The hosts critique an NPR "science" podcast about an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, mocking the scripted, overly-sincere delivery which they compare to AI-generated voices. The NPR report blames the severity of the outbreak on the Trump administration's cuts to USAID and global health surveillance. The hosts dismiss the coverage as blatant propaganda designed to fault the former president for natural disease cycles.

AI Infrastructure, Open Source Models and Battery Storage (1:43:50–1:48:12) Gavin Baker and other tech investors discuss the shift in AI economics from "frontier labs" to infrastructure providers. The theory of a "Council of LLMs" suggests businesses will use a mix of proprietary models like Grok and open-source weights for simpler tasks. Additionally, a new investment trend is identified: backing battery storage companies to power AI data centers during peak hours when the grid is stressed.

Asian Longhorned Ticks, Cattle Cartels and American Ranchers (1:48:12–1:51:51) Ranchers report devastating infestations of the Asian Longhorned Tick, with cattle being found "covered" in the parasites within days. The hosts discuss a theory from "Texas Slim" that this is a targeted operation by foreign-owned meatpackers to undermine American ranchers. The segment suggests a correlation between these biological issues and the smuggling of drugs and people via cattle transports.

Supreme Court TPS Ruling, Haiti and Springfield Pets (1:51:53–1:56:25) The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling affirming the president's authority to keep Temporary Protected Status (TPS) truly temporary. Former ICE Director Tom Homan argues that TPS has historically been used to bypass immigration laws permanently. The discussion touches on the misappropriation of aid in Haiti by the Clinton Foundation and concludes with Donald Trump's viral debate claim regarding immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, allegedly "eating the dogs."

Airline Near Misses, FAA Safety and Runway Incursions (1:56:24–2:00:19) A series of "near misses" at airports in Boston, Nashville, and JFK has prompted calls from the NTSB and pilots' unions for mandatory GPS-based air traffic receivers on all planes. While the FAA claims runway incursion rates have decreased, the organization representing the nation's airlines reveals there are hundreds of unreported close calls daily. The hosts suggest the push for new equipment is driven by military contractors seeking to sell "next-gen" aviation systems.

Phyllis Stories, Air Pollution and Show Longevity (2:00:19–2:04:12) A host shares a "Phyllis Story" about his mother's reaction to the safety of flying, where she attributed the high volume of daily flights to global air pollution. The hosts celebrate the show's 19th year and announce that the "Red Knight" titles for the current donation drive are nearly sold out. They reflect on the "slave labor" of producing the show and the support from their families.

Value for Value, Wikipedia Comparison and Podcast CPMs (2:04:16–2:09:50) The hosts explain the "Value for Value" funding model, contrasting it with Wikipedia's fundraising tactics and the "race to the bottom" of traditional podcast advertising based on CPM (cost per mille). They argue that the infinite inventory of "AI slopcasts" is making traditional ads less valuable. The segment highlights how small businesses like Manuka Gold benefit from the No Agenda community's direct support and testimonials.

Executive Producer Donations, Manuka Gold and COVID Resizing (2:09:51–2:19:22) Major donors David Rosa and Brendan Flemmer contribute $1,000 each, with Rosa inquiring about the progress of "Rubbleizer" challenge coins. A debate is sparked by a note from Manuka Gold asking whether Rocky or Rambo needs pain relief gel more, which the hosts criticize as "belaboring the gag." Another donor, Hans Diefenthaler, describes finding the show during COVID and experiencing an "amygdala resizing."

Steve Jobs Dollar Coin, California Commemorative and Meetup Reports (2:19:23–2:24:19) A donor who works at Apple presents the hosts with a commemorative $1 coin from California featuring Steve Jobs. The coin, minted in Philadelphia, reportedly sold out in 12 minutes. The segment also includes a report from a poorly attended meetup in the Bay Area, which was blamed on "Pride Weekend" traffic, and a report from a meetup in Berlin where the servers were reportedly afraid to be recorded due to free speech suppression.

Gigawatt Coffee, ImageMakers and International Exchange Rates (2:24:20–2:29:00) Eli the Coffee Guy and Linda Lou Patkin provide updates on their respective businesses, Gigawatt Coffee and ImageMakers Inc. A donor from Queensland, Australia, notes the poor exchange rate, where $200 USD equals over $303 AUD.

Antifa Book Club Art, Knighthood Ceremony and Signet Rings (2:29:00–2:38:28) The hosts review the "Antifa Book Club" artwork by Darren O'Neill and discuss the lack of "inspired" art in the current cycle.
