The UK officially leaves the EU, but the hosts describe the event as anticlimactic since most rules remain in place during an 11-month transition. They play a clip of Brendan O'Neill discussing how the British people were "lied to" in 1975 when the EEC was presented as a purely economic partnership rather than a political union.

UK officials are warning that tuberculosis is being spread to humans by domestic cats.

### Too Big to Fail, HBO Movie Review

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/307-us-eu-framework-agreement/chapter/too-big-to-fail-hbo-movie-review.md

The HBO movie "Too Big to Fail" is criticized as a whitewash that portrays Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke as heroes. The film depicts the 2008 financial bailout as a necessary action to save the world from Armageddon. The review suggests the movie serves as propaganda from the "Ministry of Truth."
