The hosts open the program by acknowledging Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada.

Armistice Day Centenary, Paris Ceremony Production Issues
The 100th anniversary of the Armistice in Paris was marked by production failures and diplomatic friction. World leaders, including Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, arrived late, while the ceremony featured empty chairs and technical issues with Emmanuel Macron's microphone. Observers criticized the inclusion of elements like Mandarin-speaking teenagers and African singers as being disconnected from the historical significance of World War I.
A discussion regarding the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo includes a claim about a conspiracy involving his car's license plate. The plate reportedly read "A111118," which some interpret as a premonition of the Armistice date, November 11, 1918. The hosts debate whether the photographic evidence is a coincidence or a digital manipulation.
World leaders gathered in France to mark the 100th anniversary of the World War I Armistice. While media reports focused on President Trump skipping a cemetery visit due to rain, the hosts highlight the body language between Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel. They also contrast a "dishonest" CBS report with actual audio of Macron agreeing with Trump on the need for increased European defense spending and burden-sharing within NATO.
No Agenda Episode 1084, Executive Producer Credits
The hosts acknowledge the artwork for episode 1084 and thank high-tier donors, including Sir Kirk from Happy Valley and Milton Cuevas.

Obama vs Trump Coverage, Media Slant, Armistice Day
The hosts respond to claims that they covered Barack Obama more critically than Donald Trump, arguing that the media's universal praise for Obama required more deconstruction. They assert that 80% of journalists are Democrats, which naturally slants the news toward a specific agenda. The segment ends with a mention of upcoming Armistice Day and Carnival celebrations in the Netherlands.
