## About this episode

President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13575 to establish the White House Rural Council, a move critics identify as the domestic implementation of UN Agenda 21. The council, featuring Tim Geithner and Eric Holder, aims to manage 16% of the American population through sustainable development frameworks. This expansion of federal oversight into rural land use coincides with a deceptive troop withdrawal from Afghanistan that maintains double the force levels present at the start of the administration.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates defended the intervention in Libya as a limited kinetic operation to bypass the War Powers Act, while Fareed Zakaria publicly advocated for a new U.S. Constitution modeled after Iceland. Meanwhile, the TSA expanded its reach through VIPER teams conducting unannounced screenings at bus stations and subways. In the private sector, FICO introduced a medication adherence score to track patient compliance, and the Social Intelligence Corporation received FTC approval to provide employers with seven-year histories of job applicants' social media activity.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the Hot Pockets 2008 Tour and the latest TSA bra-related security incidents. The broadcast features a formal knighting ceremony for top producers Francine Hardaway and Lawrence McBride, while the hosts mock Ben Bernanke for blaming economic stagnation on vague headwinds. A Southwest Airlines pilot provided a moment of unintended transparency after a stuck microphone broadcast his unfiltered views on flight attendants to air traffic control.

### 32. Constitutional Republic vs. Pure Democracy Analysis (1:53:29–2:02:23)

The hosts deconstruct Fareed Zakaria's arguments, emphasizing that the United States was designed as a Republic, not a pure democracy, to protect minority rights from the "tyranny of the majority." They defend the Senate's structure as a vital check that prevents large states like California from dominating smaller ones like Wisconsin.

Scotland Yard arrests 19-year-old Ryan Cleary in connection with cyberattacks by the group LulzSec on the CIA and Sony.

A new study published in "The Lancet" promotes the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine for teenagers, which is covered as a news segment on CBS. The hosts argue the segment functions as a "commercial within a commercial," ignoring reported side effects of Gardasil while targeting girls as young as 11 for vaccination.
