Topic: Bumper Stickers

Jim Acosta suggested that journalists should create bumper stickers and buttons to protest being called the enemy of the people. He even proposed that journalists should march on Pennsylvania Avenue and chant "we're not the enemy of the people" to counter the "CNN sucks" chants heard at Trump rallies.

The hosts compare the campaign tactics of Bernie Sanders, who gives away merchandise, to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who charge for bumper stickers and buttons. They question where the tens of millions of dollars in campaign donations go if not toward promotional materials. They suggest the money is largely kept by the candidates or spent on high-level media buys.

The discussion shifts to the political climate in Berkeley, California, focusing on the prevalence of "Free Palestine" and "Obama-Biden" bumper stickers on Toyota Priuses. The hosts discuss the perceived hypocrisy of activists who labeled George W. Bush a war criminal but remain silent on President Obama's foreign policy and drone strikes.

The hosts conduct a formal knighting ceremony for Joseph Wagner, Herbert Harms, Christopher Wolfe, and Gordon Walton. Walton declines a traditional ring, requesting a "No Agenda" bumper sticker instead. The segment reinforces the "value-for-value" model, arguing that the show's independence from advertisers allows for a unique, agenda-free analysis of the news.

The No Agenda Stream project is announced in beta, with plans to credit initial producers who donate before the end of the month. The hosts discuss the potential for a bumper sticker competition to increase the listener base. Technical difficulties and censorship of the hosts' personal websites lead to a recommendation to use Dvorak.org/NA for reliable access to the show.
