## About this episode

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dissect the Occupy Wall Street protests in Los Angeles, where union leaders and actors like Danny Glover have reportedly hijacked the grassroots messaging of the 99 percent. While the media portrays demonstrators as disorganized, the presence of Ron Paul supporters and organized labor suggests a more complex struggle for the movement's identity. The hosts contrast these American 'weekend warriors' with the Indignados of Spain, who completed a marathon march to Brussels to defy EU-ordered austerity measures.

President Barack Obama defended the lack of Wall Street prosecutions during a recent press conference, labeling executive behavior as reckless but not illegal. Meanwhile, the European sovereign debt crisis threatens a global banking meltdown, prompting experts on BBC Newsnight to call for massive taxpayer-funded bank recapitalization. In the United States, the FBI and Director Robert Mueller face scrutiny over Patriot Act Section 215 and the expansion of the Next Generation Identification biometric system, which now tracks tattoos and facial markers using civil submissions from social media.

Ralph Nader joins the program to criticize the Obama administration's use of a secret kill list for American citizens like Anwar al-Awlaki, describing the current presidency as a functional dictatorship. The hosts also explore the absurdity of Dutch trains replacing bathrooms with absorbent pee bags and the implementation of radiation security tunnels at Schiphol Airport. Adam Curry details his upcoming move to Austin, Texas, to establish the new Camp Mofo studio while selling off his Saab and Range Rover.

BBC's Newsnight features experts warning of a sovereign debt meltdown in Europe within weeks if credible action is not taken.

FBI Director Robert Mueller testifies before the Homeland Security Committee regarding threat streams from Al-Qaeda and the Pakistani Taliban (TTP).

### 20. Patriot Act Section 215, Roving Wiretaps (55:54–1:00:11)

FBI officials defend Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows the government to seize commercial records to "paint a picture" of potential terrorists. The justification for roving wiretaps is based on the ease of swapping SIM cards. The hosts argue these measures are a direct violation of constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure.

### 23. Ron Paul Straw Poll, Media Marginalization (1:09:12–1:13:18)

Ron Paul wins the Values Voter straw poll, but the hosts note the media's continued efforts to marginalize him.

George Clooney appears on Letterman and discusses high-profile guests at his Lake Como estate, including Walter Cronkite and David Gergen.
