However, the low voter turnout in recent elections suggests that many Egyptians view the revolution as a farce that will merely replace one "CIA shill" with another. The segment notes that despite the media narrative of a "dictator toppled," the country's economic and political stability remains in question.

Moussa is described as an anti-Israel figure who broke from other Arab leaders to support the revolution. His rise is seen as part of a broader shift toward Islamist governance in the region.

Obama mocked potential Republican rivals Michelle Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty, making a play on Pawlenty's middle name and Hosni Mubarak. The hosts find it unusual and potentially inappropriate for a sitting president to use the platform to humiliate political competitors.

The transition is described as a predictable outcome previously suggested by Henry Kissinger, where the military—which maintains close ties to the U.S. military—takes over to stabilize the region. The narrative of an oppressive dictatorship is contrasted with Egypt's status as a common international vacation destination.

The Swiss government's announcement is viewed as propaganda to maintain the appearance of banking integrity. Meanwhile, media coverage in Egypt shifted from reporting on riots to showing protesters cleaning Tahrir Square to provide a positive "real-time" conclusion for television audiences.

The contact claims the Tunisian revolution was genuine but argues the Egyptian protests were sparked specifically by Hosni Mubarak's attempt to install his son as successor and a rise in bread prices. The discussion also touches on the high rate of gun ownership in Yemen and the lack of unrest in Jordan due to fear of the police.

The White House subsequently distanced itself from Wisner's comments, labeling them as personal views. Speculation arises regarding whether Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intentionally recommended Wisner to undermine the Obama administration's position.

The hosts discuss the role of telecommunications companies as intelligence-gathering mechanisms for the state. Adam Curry suggests that outraged UK subscribers should cancel their Vodafone service to exercise consumer power.

Kissinger also comments on Vice President Omar Suleiman, noting his background in intelligence and his cooperation with the United States. The hosts interpret Kissinger's remarks about "acts" and "scenes" as proof that the Egyptian revolution is following a predetermined script.

Dvorak open the show by suggesting the January 2011 protests in Egypt were a scripted handoff from the Tucson tragedy media cycle. They question whether Hosni Mubarak is a legitimate dictator and analyze the "pro-democracy" narrative being pushed by CNN. The hosts argue that the timing of these international events follows a pre-planned schedule to keep the public distracted.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly called for the Egyptian government to unblock social media sites. The discussion suggests the unrest may be tied to significant oil discoveries in Egypt and a geopolitical struggle involving China and India.
