Dvorak broadcast from Moab, Utah, to dissect a $10 billion natural gas pipeline deal involving Syria, Iran, and Iraq that threatens NATO energy dominance. The hosts analyze Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s warnings regarding the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps training militias, framing the Syrian conflict as a proxy war over the Russian-owned port of Tartus. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland’s recent admissions suggest U.S. intervention remains contingent on oil collateral rather than humanitarian concerns. Secondary developments include Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi ousting Field Marshal Tantawi in a strategic counter-coup and the USS Porter’s collision with a Japanese tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren has signaled a closing window for diplomacy with Iran, while the Department of Justice investigates a school-to-prison pipeline in Meridian, Mississippi. In the private sector, the Carlyle Group’s $3.3 billion acquisition of Getty Images raises questions about future copyright enforcement, and Standard Chartered Bank’s $340 million settlement for laundering Iranian funds is characterized as a regulatory shakedown. John C. Dvorak also details his personal legal battle with Bank of America over MERS mortgage fraud in Washington state. Distinctive moments include a humorous analysis of a Condé Nast Traveler report claiming Hillary Clinton does not sweat, fueling jokes about David Icke’s reptilian theories. The hosts also mock the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremonies and a jet skier who successfully breached JFK Airport security by walking across active runways. Justin Hill and other executive producers provide the financial backbone for this tour-stop broadcast from the Arches National Park region. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Haqqani Network, ISI Support, Indian Media Reports (1:05:56–1:10:40) Reports from Indian media link the Haqqani Network to the Pakistani ISI, alleging the group operates as a criminal enterprise involved in real estate and import-export. The hosts note that Hillary Clinton has a legal deadline to designate the Haqqani Network as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), which the U.S. has been hesitant to do.

USS Porter Collision, Michael Oren, Iran Strike Threats (1:13:00–1:18:26) The USS Porter, a Navy destroyer, collided with a Japanese oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. Following this, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren appeared on MSNBC to argue that the window for diplomacy with Iran is closing in "weeks, not months." The hosts criticize Oren's "skin in the game" rhetoric and his claim that Israel is "right next door" to Iran.

Mars Curiosity Rover, New Mexico Studio Theory, Moon Bases (2:06:48–2:10:16) Adam Curry expresses skepticism about the Mars Curiosity Rover mission, noting that Google's image recognition API identified Mars photos as being taken in New Mexico.
