# Toilet Wars > Corporate censorship hits a milestone episode as the FBI demands a custom operating system from Apple and Hillary Clinton adopts canine tactics on the campaign trail. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 800 - **Published:** 2016-02-21 - **Length:** 3h 12m - **Topics:** Apple vs FBI, [Uranium One](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/uranium-one.md), Zika larvicide, Death Master File, Ukraine crisis, Toilet Wars, All Writs Act - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/800-toilet-wars ## About this episode Apple rejected promotional artwork for the 800th episode of No Agenda after Nick the Rat included symbols the tech giant deemed controversial, including an all-seeing eye. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the corporate censorship while analyzing Hillary Clinton’s recent campaign performance in Reno, Nevada, where she imitated a barking dog to mock Republican economic claims. The hosts contrast this bizarre political theater with a severe coughing fit in Harlem that CNN framed as an emotional moment rather than a physical health struggle. Donald Trump continues to break political taboos by suggesting secret government papers could prove Saudi involvement in the September 11 attacks and criticizing the RNC for stacking debate audiences with donors. Meanwhile, the FBI is utilizing the All Writs Act of 1789 to compel Apple to create a Signed iPhone Software (SIF) file to bypass encryption on the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone 5C. Additional reports indicate the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File contains millions of active numbers for individuals over 112 years old, facilitating widespread IRS tax refund fraud via untraceable prepaid debit cards. Adam Curry recounts a sunset biplane ride over Austin with Tina the Keeper, involving champagne in sippy cups and vintage aviation maneuvers. The episode features the retirement of the Jeb Bush "Please Clap" jingle after its adoption by mainstream radio and a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Henry of Nagoya. The hosts also examine a Seattle locker room incident sparked by new gender identity laws and a perceived on-air mishap by Whoopi Goldberg during a segment on The View. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
