## About this episode

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to tax bonuses at bailed-out institutions at a 90% rate for earners over $250,000, a move critics label as the weaponization of the IRS. Secretary Timothy Geithner’s plan to address toxic assets further inflames public tension, as the Federal Reserve and Treasury guarantee 93% of private investment risks. Meanwhile, the Freedom Tower’s rebranding to One World Trade Center signals a shift toward globalist symbolism as G20 protesters converge on London.

President Barack Obama dismissed questions regarding marijuana legalization during a virtual town hall, while White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs claimed ignorance of any economic data supporting the policy. In the United Kingdom, the City of London remains a sovereign-like enclave where financial regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley have historically driven IPO markets. The European Union faces its own hurdles with the Lisbon Treaty in the Czech Republic and the rollout of mandatory smart energy meters. Representative Michele Bachmann has emerged as a vocal opponent of the GIVE Act, which critics argue introduces mandatory volunteerism for young Americans in violation of the 13th Amendment.

Senator Chuck Grassley brought rare stand-up comedy to the Senate Budget Committee during a lighthearted exchange with Chairman Ken Conrad. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the shift from traditional news to real-time Twitter data points, while debating the merits of combining PG Tips with Rooibos tea. The program concludes with a look at the RSOE-EDIS hazard map following a mysterious mass illness among students in Pennsylvania.

### 3. Twitter as a Real-Time News Source and Citizen Journalism (4:19–10:14)

The discussion shifts to the evolution of Twitter from a social platform to a critical news-gathering tool.
