# Evidence Free Zone > Establishment Republicans launch a last-ditch effort to derail the Trump campaign as the FBI warns of a digital dark age in the battle over iPhone encryption. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 804 - **Published:** 2016-03-03 - **Length:** 2h 47m - **Topics:** Trump fraud, iPhone encryption, [Super predators](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/super-predators.md), Warrant-proof, [Southern Strategy](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/southern-strategy.md), Airstream flaw - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/804-evidence-free-zone ## About this episode Mitt Romney and the Republican establishment launched a desperate offensive against Donald Trump this week, with the former nominee branding the frontrunner a phony and a fraud. The high-stakes speech in Utah coincided with Marco Rubio adopting a crude comedic persona to attack Trump's physical appearance, while rumors circulate regarding Rubio's reliance on performance-enhancing substances during debates. This coordinated effort by the GOP elite highlights a party in crisis as voter turnout surges for Republicans while Democratic participation continues to crater. FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress regarding the San Bernardino iPhone, warning of warrant-proof places that hinder law enforcement. Representative Darrell Issa challenged Comey on the technical feasibility of cloning non-volatile memory, while John McAfee claimed a hardware engineer could bypass the Secure Enclave in thirty minutes. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton faced backlash from Black Lives Matter activists over her 1996 super predator remarks, and CNN commentator Van Jones engaged in a viral debate with Jeffrey Lord over the historical ties between the KKK and the Democratic Party. Sir Edward of Bridgewater shares a surreal Xanax-induced dream involving Jerry Hall, while the hosts identify a critical design flaw in Airstream trailers that complicates bathroom hygiene. The show explores the grayness of modern socialist aesthetics compared to the vibrant car colors of the 1950s, and a trademark dispute at Yosemite National Park forces the renaming of the historic Ahwahnee Hotel. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the media scripting behind the latest racial narratives from the Crackpot Condo. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
