Mark Klein, Wiring Up The Big Brother Machine...And Fighting It joins Thom.

The Good! The Navajo Nation! When Senator John McCain visited that Navajo Nation capitol of Window Rock - he was expecting simply to commemorate Navajo Code Talker's day. But when he arrived - the Navajo Nation had other pressing concerns on their mind. Instead of politely welcoming the senator and talking with him about getting Congressional appropriation to fund building a Navajo Code Talkers Museum - they chased him off the Navajo land. Take a look...
