## About this episode

Violent protests at UC Berkeley forced the cancellation of a speech by Milo Yiannopoulos, resulting in significant property damage and physical altercations on the university campus. President Donald Trump responded to the unrest by encouraging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to use the nuclear option for the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. The administration continues to face global backlash as European Union leaders like Donald Tusk and Federica Mogherini label current American policies a threat to continental stability.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson clarified to the UK Parliament that British passport holders remain exempt from the recent immigration executive order, despite heated opposition from Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. In the United States, Senator Chuck Schumer cited biblical scripture during an emotional plea against refugee caps, while former Congressman Dennis Kucinich argued that American interventionism in Syria and Libya is the primary driver of the global displacement crisis. Meanwhile, Judge Neil Gorsuch’s record on the 10th Circuit reveals a history of ruling against executive agency overreach, suggesting a judicial philosophy rooted in due process rather than partisan loyalty.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to two and a half minutes to midnight, citing a lack of climate action rather than immediate nuclear threats. During the Miss Universe pageant in the Philippines, winner Iris Mittenaere of France voiced support for open borders, while host Steve Harvey avoided a repeat of his previous year's announcement error. The 900th episode of No Agenda concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Matthew Gebhardt and Sir John of Bangkok under the show's value-for-value production model.

### 29. Doomsday Clock and Climate Change Shift (1:50:36–1:52:07)

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to two and a half minutes to midnight. While the clock was historically a measure of nuclear war threat, the recent move was attributed largely to a lack of global action on climate change. The hosts question the logic of equating climate policy with the immediate threat of nuclear annihilation.

### 37. Steve Bannon Media Comments and Misreporting (2:21:27–2:25:04)

The hosts highlight a case of selective quoting by "Democracy Now" regarding Steve Bannon's comments to the New York Times. While Bannon was reported as telling the media to "keep its mouth shut," the full quote was "keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while." The hosts argue this omission fundamentally changes the meaning of the statement from a demand for silence to a suggestion for reflection.
