SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with major Hollywood studios, securing protections against the unauthorized use of AI likenesses. The deal follows a similar four-year contract signed by the Writers Guild of America, which included a significant infusion into the union's health fund. Industry workers remain concerned that the rapid advancement of technology may still outpace the protections provided in these multi-year contracts.

Mimi Smith-Dvorak recounts a 1966 visit to a beautiful, intact Lebanon before it was devastated by civil war and the PLO. This memory is contrasted with current reports of "surgical" strikes in Iran, where specific floors of buildings are targeted to minimize civilian casualties. The hosts characterize the current military operations as remarkably "clean" compared to historical firebombing campaigns like the destruction of Dresden.

The hosts analyze media coverage of a near-total internet blackout in Iran, contrasting CNN's reporting with independent accounts. While mainstream outlets report massive casualties during protests, Mimi notes that recent military actions have shifted toward "surgical strikes" against specific targets. They discuss the difficulty of obtaining accurate information from within the country due to the IRGC's brutal crackdown.

### Marco Rubio, Article 51 and War Powers Resolution

- **Episode:** [1849: Hose Water](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1849-hose-water.md)
- **Published:** 2026-03-08

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1849-hose-water/chapter/marco-rubio-article-51-and-war-powers-resolution.md

Senator Marco Rubio defends the U.S. military operations as a preemptive defense against Iranian ballistic missiles. Adam Curry, citing a constitutional lawyer, explains that by framing the action as a response to an imminent threat following an Israeli strike, the administration utilized Article 51 of the UN Charter. This legal maneuver allows the President to bypass the War Powers Resolution and maintain control over the military timeline without Congressional interference.

Reports indicate a significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, with potential strikes on Iran being weighed by the Trump administration. The "steak and lobster" meme—a rumor that the military serves high-end meals before an invasion—is discussed alongside actual troop movements. While the administration hasn't sought a formal declaration of war, naval and air presence in the region has reached a critical mass.

Professor Scott Galloway has launched "Resist and Unsubscribe," a campaign urging citizens to cancel tech subscriptions to Amazon, Apple, and Google as an economic strike against the Trump administration. The hosts dismiss the plan as "futile" and "pathetic," criticizing the idea that small consumer pullbacks can move a $30 trillion economy.

Protesters gathered at El Cerrito Plaza on January 20th for a general strike coinciding with the anniversary of Donald Trump's first inauguration. The crowd, largely composed of retirees, displayed signs including one demanding "Hands Off Greenland," despite Greenland being a protectorate of Denmark. The discussion notes historical tensions regarding Denmark's past sterilization programs in Greenland and the irony of "No Kings" signs appearing in a country that remains a monarchy.

A general strike was called in Minnesota following the death of 37-year-old Renee Macklin Goode, who was killed by an ICE agent. The DOJ investigation into Governor Walz and Mayor Frey centers on their public comments following the incident, which the administration calls "heated rhetoric." There is hope that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will use digital tracking to uncover financial fraud related to immigration and local government spending.

A 1989 clip of then-Senator Joe Biden shows him advocating for a more aggressive "War on Drugs" on behalf of the Democratic Party. In the speech, Biden called for an international strike force to attack drug lords where they live and eliminate safe havens for narco-terrorists. The hosts contrast this historical stance with modern political reactions to the Maduro capture.

Activists on TikTok promote the idea of a "general vacation strike" to shut down the U.S. economy and force the administration out of office. The hosts dismiss the movement as ineffective and "Ohio," a slang term for something lame or cringe. They compare the effort to previous failed social media-driven protests like "Blackout Tuesday."

### Venezuela Drug Boat Strikes, Obama Kill List, and International Law

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1805-hamburger-wine/chapter/venezuela-drug-boat-strikes-obama-kill-list-and-international-law.md

The U.S. military has conducted several strikes on drug smuggling boats off the coast of Venezuela, leading to debates over the legality of treating cartel members as enemy combatants. The hosts compare these actions to President Obama's "kill list" and the use of "double tap" drone strikes in sovereign nations. They argue that the current criticism of Trump's maritime strikes is hypocritical given the history of previous administrations' extrajudicial killings.

Viral rumors on social media claim a "five days of darkness" event will occur in August or September, involving a total internet and power shutdown.
