Protests have erupted in Tbilisi, Georgia, after parliament failed to pass electoral reforms, leading to clashes with police. This is framed as part of a larger wave of global unrest, including gasoline price protests in Iran and the ongoing crisis in Hong Kong. The hosts criticize China for failing to honor the "one country, two systems" agreement that was supposed to guarantee Hong Kong's autonomy until 2047.

### GOP Primary Rigging and Delegate Allocation Rules

- **Episode:** [369: Phobos Grunts](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/369-phobos-grunts.md)
- **Published:** 2011-12-29
- **Time:** 1:07:24–1:10:17
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/369-phobos-grunts/chapter/gop-primary-rigging-and-delegate-allocation-rules.md

A deep dive into Republican primary rules reveals that delegates are allocated on a proportional basis for contests held before April 1st. The hosts argue this system is rigged to favor a well-funded establishment candidate like Mitt Romney, who can accumulate a lead even without winning every state outright. They suggest both parties may be hesitant to win the 2012 election due to the dire state of the economy.
