- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1759-eat-the-babies/chapter/global-entry-facial-recognition-surveillance-future.md

Adam Curry shares his experience using Global Entry, noting that the system now relies almost entirely on facial recognition rather than physical cards. He describes the seamless but "disgusting" process of being identified by cameras and cleared by customs without showing ID. The hosts argue that Real ID is a precursor to a broader, mandatory facial recognition tracking system for all citizens.

Developers examining the beta code for iOS 18 discovered the "pre-prompts" Apple uses to constrain its AI, known as Apple Intelligence. These instructions mandate that the AI avoid religious, political, or "provocative" topics to ensure a "vanilla" user experience. These guardrails are intended to prevent the AI from behaving erratically or offensively, as seen in previous industry failures like Microsoft's Tay.

TSA agents provided "boots on the ground" reports regarding airport security procedures, noting that opting out of facial recognition does not result in being "flagged." The agents characterized much of their daily routine as "security theater" and a government jobs program. They advised travelers to use TSA Pre-Check to avoid common issues with body scanners, which are particularly sensitive to baggy clothing.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1664-friendshoring/chapter/ursula-von-der-leyen-pre-bunking-and-information-manipulation.md

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen introduced the concept of "pre-bunking" as a way to build "societal immunity" against information manipulation. She compared the technique to a vaccine, suggesting that the government should inoculate the public against certain ideas before they take hold. Critics argue that "pre-bunking" is simply a new term for state-sponsored propaganda and the suppression of dissenting views.

The archive captures various "pre-show" moments where the hosts discuss technical logistics, such as recording directly to MP3 and managing Skype bandwidth. They debate the use of a noise gate to filter out background wind noise and acknowledge the live stream audience in the chat room. These clips provide a "behind the curtain" look at the show's production challenges during remote broadcasts.

### University College Cork, Conspiracy Theory Study

- **Episode:** [1546: Cat Hole](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1546-cat-hole.md)
- **Published:** 2023-04-13
- **Time:** 39:52–40:36
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1546-cat-hole/chapter/university-college-cork-conspiracy-theory-study.md

A review conducted at University College Cork in Ireland concluded that there are no viable ways to counter conspiracy theories effectively. The study found that "pre-bunking"—the practice of warning people about misinformation before they encounter it—has proven impractical and largely ineffective. Researchers suggest that once these beliefs are established, they are extremely difficult to dislodge through traditional means.

A traveler from Ireland reports that despite the official US vaccine mandate, they were never asked for proof of vaccination during the pre-clearance process in Dublin. The enforcement of the mandate appears to rely on individual airlines rather than US Customs and Border Protection. Pre-clearance allows travelers to complete immigration and customs inspections before departing for the United States.

The hosts discuss the "value-for-value" funding model of No Agenda, noting that this special pre-recorded episode requires significant effort from producers. They encourage listeners to contribute to the show as a form of "workman's comp" to keep the program running. Adam Curry explains that while they cannot read new donations live during this episode, all contributors will be acknowledged in the next live broadcast.

The No Agenda app was recently removed from the Roku App Store, reportedly due to the software not being kept up to date.

President Biden claims that Republican opposition to the Affordable Care Act would cause millions to lose coverage for pre-existing conditions. He also discusses a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap for prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare. The difficulty of interpreting the President's verbal delivery is compared to the communication style of former Congressman Ron Paul.

The hosts explain their unique production philosophy, which involves zero pre-show communication or scripted segments to maintain a "real" and lively atmosphere. They criticize the mainstream media's use of pre-interviews, arguing that such rehearsals ruin the authenticity of the final product. This professional tactic relies on their shared history and ability to react to information in real-time without in-studio producers.

### Nursing Home Vaccinations, Insurance Industry Motives

- **Episode:** [1368: Heat Map](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1368-heat-map.md)

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1368-heat-map/chapter/nursing-home-vaccinations-insurance-industry-motives.md

Reports from nursing homes suggest that residents are being vaccinated without proper informed consent or explanation of the procedure. Some observers theorize that the focus on vaccinating the elderly is driven by insurance companies seeking to reduce the financial burden of long-term care for those with pre-existing conditions. The Department of Justice's decision to drop investigations into nursing home deaths in several states has intensified these concerns.

He cited a statistic claiming that children from poor backgrounds hear one million fewer words by the time they reach first grade. His comments regarding single mothers and "zip code" disadvantages were noted for their potentially insulting tone toward the communities he was addressing.
