A high-speed pursuit in Olympia, Washington, led to the arrest of a four-time convicted felon with 98 prior arrests. Deputies discovered a pickup truck equipped with a "built-in bong" designed for smoking drugs while driving, along with thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise. The case is cited as an example of the consequences of "ultra-liberal" court policies in the Pacific Northwest.

The show acknowledged associate executive producers and discussed technical difficulties with PayPal's CAPTCHA system, which some donors found excessively difficult to navigate. A discussion on "angel numbers" for episode 1004 led to a tangent about John Dvorak’s history with the University of California bowling team and the history of Olympia Beer in Tumwater, Washington.

The hosts examine the leadership of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), noting that it is chaired by Howard G. Buffett, son of Warren Buffett. They list other board members, including former politicians Jane Harman and Olympia Snowe, and argue the organization is a "stacked deck" designed to exclude third-party candidates like Jill Stein. This follows Stein's recent criticisms of the commission's non-partisan status.

The hosts read a series of donations from listeners, providing "karma" and "de-douching" in exchange for financial support. Notable contributions include a "karma-de-douching combo" for a listener in Copenhagen and a matching donation from a group of "CIS admins." The segment also features a donation of $73.32, which was double a gas station receipt totaling $36.66.

Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe have introduced the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which critics claim grants the President an "internet kill switch." The bill would allow the Secretary of Commerce access to critical network data regardless of existing privacy laws. The hosts call for voters in Maine to remove Senator Snowe from office in response to the legislation.

The federal stimulus package passed with the support of Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter despite concerns about the timing of the spending. The show concludes with a proposal for a subscription-based donation model to convert listener support into gold as a hedge against economic collapse.
