## About this episode

Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton face scrutiny as the House Speaker defends health care mandates that could lead to prison time for the uninsured. In Manila, Secretary of State Clinton repeatedly used the acronym MILF to describe the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, sparking widespread mockery. Meanwhile, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the strategic relocation of IBM headquarters to Armonk, New York, a Cold War move designed to survive a nuclear strike on Manhattan.

Public health concerns escalate as reports emerge of a student in Wheeling, West Virginia, being restrained by sheriff's deputies for a forced H1N1 vaccination. In Ukraine, a lethal respiratory illness linked to Baxter International research labs fuels fears of a pneumonic plague, while 70% of the French public rejects experimental vaccines. Kenneth Green of the American Enterprise Institute and Margot Thorning testify before the Senate, warning that cap and trade legislation will trigger a carbon bubble, reduce U.S. GDP by 2.4%, and eliminate millions of jobs to benefit investors like Al Gore.

Adam Curry broadcasts from a La Quinta Inn waffle station while being pressured by hotel staff to check out mid-recording. The hosts explore the ABC series V as a metaphor for David Icke's reptilian theories, noting that public figures like Bill Gates exhibit inappropriate smiles and a lack of human emotion. Stephen Shearer and MWG earn executive producer credits for their support of the value-for-value model.

### 15. Identifying Reptilians Through Inappropriate Smiles and Lack of Emotion (45:14–46:35)

A theory is presented that reptilian humanoids can be identified by "inappropriate smiles" and a failure to understand human humor. Bill Gates and Nancy Pelosi are cited as examples of public figures who exhibit these traits during serious discussions. The hosts suggest these individuals are mimicking human emotions without truly feeling them.

### 19. Energy Price Increases and Canadian Oil Dependence (55:25–58:29)

The hosts discuss how cap and trade legislation is designed to intentionally increase energy prices, a goal previously acknowledged by President Obama. Kenneth Green's testimony highlighted that low carbon fuel standards could prohibit oil imports from Canada, the United States' largest foreign supplier. The discussion notes the irony of targeting Canadian oil while claiming to seek energy independence.

### 20. Carbon Bubbles and the Economic Impact of Biofuels (58:30–1:01:36)

Kenneth Green warned that cap and trade creates a new financial instrument that could lead to a "carbon bubble" similar to the housing crisis. He also argued that carbon controls favor biofuels, which could lead to the displacement of natural forests by 2065. Green dismissed the promise of "green jobs," asserting that government policy merely shifts jobs with a net loss to the economy.

Using the government's own macroeconomic models, she predicted a loss of up to 2.4 million jobs and a $1,200 decrease in annual household income. The hosts lament that the media ignores these technical hearings in favor of sensational stories.

### 23. Balloon Boy Media Coverage and Podcast Award Nominations (1:09:16–1:10:39)

### 26. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Trial and the Disappearance of Bin Laden (1:16:13–1:19:33)

The federal government plans to move Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from Guantanamo Bay to New York City for trial. Adam Curry points out that recent media photos of Mohammed show him groomed to look remarkably like Osama bin Laden. The hosts suggest this is a "bait and switch" tactic to distract the public from the failure to capture Bin Laden himself.

### 27. Large Hadron Collider and South American Power Outages (1:19:33–1:23:32)

A massive power outage in South America affecting 70 million people is linked by the hosts to the activation of the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. They theorize that the collider's magnets create gravitational waves that interact with the Earth's silicon-rich crust. While official reports blamed a bird or a baguette for a machine shutdown, the hosts remain skeptical of the official explanation.
