Have you missed your favorite Libertarian? Your Equal Opportunity Annoyer returns to the Eagle weekday mornings at 9 AM and Saturdays at 8AM.
Gary Nolan has been “America’s Voice of Liberty” for more than a decade, reaching millions with his message of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and constitutionally-limited government.
Feel free to call into the show and get caught up with Gary and discuss political and personal liberties with the master.
The Gary Nolan Show airs weekday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM.
I listened to your show yesterday and there was a comment I heard over and over: “They should be happy they HAVE a job”. I agree, I am fortunate to have a job but it should be a two way street. Employers should be happy to have a productive employee. Employers give up a big chunk of money but employees give up a big chunk of their life. Yes, there are worthless workers that don’t earn their keep but they are not limited to the entry level. The Hostess CEO had his compensation tripled (along with 80% increases for other execs) and then asked the union to make concessions. I shop at WalMart but I see nothing wrong with the walkout, 50% of their workers are on food stamps. The taxpayers are subsidizing WalMart’s work force.
Hi Gary,
I listen to your show every day, and have been a vegan for over 2 years. I was a vegetarian for 18 years prior to that. I love your show, but goodness – please do some homework before speaking negatively about my choices.
Yes, we avoid all dairy, meat, honey and other animal products such as wool, silk, and leather. Yes, we can eat noodles, except for some fresh varieties that include eggs. There are replacement products available that some vegans use, including a non-dairy butter product by a company called Earth Balance. There are a variety of replacement milks, including those made from almonds, soy, and rice. We can make most traditional recipes vegan by altering them a bit and using replacement products.
I eat a much more varied and tasty diet now than I ever did as an omnivore or vegetarian. It is an extremely healthy diet, as long as you take care to eat balanced meals. There are endless meal options – we eat pizza, pasta, rice dishes, potatoes, stews – the list goes on and on.
For most people, this dietary choice is the result of research. For me personally, I am vegan because I care more about people (the underpaid workers in factory farms), animals, the environment, and my health, than I do about tradition, convenience, and social norms.
My concerns lie primarily with the negative effects of modern factory farming. I am fine with hunting and fishing, and my father owns a small cattle operation. I’m just like most of you. I am voting with my dollars, in the hopes that we can move toward a system where everyone can still eat what they’d like, without the crappy work conditions, terrible lives for the animals, and appalling environmental effects.
When I heard the story about the IRS and the painting, I was laughing my butt off. Typical IRS/Bureaucratic behavior. What they should have done is give it to the IRS, and notify the Fisheries and Wildlife people for when the IRS try to get money out of it. Fight red tape with red tape. Keep up the good fight.
I will be unable to listen to your show today but I’m sure you will be discussing the proposal to shut down stores and business on black Friday or on Thanksgiving or whatever they are proposing. Government should have NO say whatsoever on when a business is open. Absolute nonsense.
I saw this and it REALLY sums up the economy and the attitude of the 47%.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for a beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.00
The sixth would pay $3.00
The seventh would pay $7.00
The eighth would pay $12.00
The ninth would pay $18.00
…The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.00
So that’s what they decided to do. The men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with arraignment, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers, he said, I ‘m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.00.” Drinks for the ten men now cost just $80.00″.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men – the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get there “fair share?” They realized that $20.00 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody ‘s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man ‘s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay!
And so:
The fifth man like the first four, now paid nothing 100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before! And the first four continued to drink for free.
But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out of the $20″ declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got $10!”
“Yeah, that’s right,” shouted the seventh man, “Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in union. We did ‘t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him, even cursing him for his absence.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! Looking at each other, they began swearing at their absent companion.
And that, boys and girls, journalist and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Just a little tid bit I found googling hushmail….
Hushmail To Warn Users of Law Enforcement Backdoor
BY RYAN SINGEL11.19.0711:08 AM
Hushmail, the web’s leading provider of encrypted web mail, updated its explanation of its security model, confirming a THREAT LEVEL report that the company can and will eavesdrop on its users when presented with a court order, even if the targets uses the company’s vaunted Java applet that does all the encryption and decryption in a browser.
As THREAT LEVEL reported earlier this month, Hushmail provided 12 CDs of emails in June to U.S. officials targeting steriod manufacturers. But Hushmail promises users that “not even a Hushmail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted e-mail, since each message is uniquely encoded before it leaves your computer.”
Hushmail responds only to court orders from the Supreme Court of British Columbia that target specific, named accounts, according to Hushmail’s CTO Brian Smith. In the steriod case, the Drug Enforcement Agency used a mutual legal assistance treaty to get a Canadian court order, according to court documents.
But when the company gets a court order, “we are required to do everything in our power to comply with the law,” according to an updated explanation of Hushmail’s security.
That everything seems to include sending a rogue Java applet to targeted users that will then report the user’s passphrase back to Hushmail, thus giving the feds access to all stored emails and any future emails sent or received.
The Canadian email provider offers two options for its users. One method works nearly identically to typical webmail, with the exception that the company’s Encryption Engine, encrypts and decrpyts messages that go to or from other Hushmail users (or to people who use PGP or GPG running on their own computers). In that service, Hushmail’s servers briefly see the passphrase that unlocks a user’s emails, but normally does not store it.
A second option sends the Encryption Engine to a user’s browser as a Java applet. That method, where the encryption and decryption of email is done in the browser and the passphrase never leaves the user’s computer, was widely presumed to be much safer than the webcentric version.
But Hushmail’s update of their website and a statement made to THREAT LEVEL by Smith make clear that Hushmail will compromise that applet when served with a court order.
When one Hushmail users sends an email to another Hushmail user, the body and attachments of that email are kept on our server in encrypted form, and under normal circumstances, we would have no access to that data. However, since Hushmail is a web-based service, the software that performs the encryption either resides on or is delivered by our servers. That means that there is no guarantee that we will not be compelled, under a court order issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, to treat a user named in a court order differently, and compromise that user’s privacy. (emphasis added)
In an earlier conversation, Smith told THREAT LEVEL that using the Java applet would not help a person targeted by law enforcement.
The extra security given by the Java applet is not particularly relevant, in the practical sense, if an individual account is targeted.
The site also recommends that anyone engaged in illegal behavior or “activity that might result in a court order issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia” not rely on Hushmail to hide their activities.
As for other encrypted email solutions, Hushmail has this to say about GnuPG and PGP Desktop.
PGP Desktop and GnuPG are not web-based services. They install as software on your computer. Installed software is different from a web-based service in that you don’t rely on the owner of the website to run the software correctly. You take on that responsibility yourself. If used correctly, both PGP and GnuPG can provide an extremely high level of security. When choosing your security solution, carefully weigh the convenience and ease-of-use of Hushmail against the inherent limitations of a web-based service.
Hushmail’s CTO Brian Smith deserves credit for his candor and his continued frank responses to THREAT LEVEL. I would like to stress that we are not reporting that Hushmail is a scam of any sort. We are simply reporting that the company can and does turn over emails when given a court order, regardless of which Hushmail flavor a person may use — something that the company did not clearly disclose to its customers.
On yesterdays show, you had a woman call in from Boonville complaining about a family going on a Disney cruise claiming it was paid for by the welfare they receive. The same caller then was praising Vicky Hartzler as a fiscal conservative. Maybe your caller didn’t know that Mrs. Hartzler and her husband have received $774,489 in farm subsidies from 1995 to 2009. I don’t believe the government should be giving taxpayer money for either. I just find it interesting that alot of so-called fiscal conservatives are fine with farm subsidies going to people who don’t need the money, but complain when a struggling family receives a fraction of that amount.. BE CONSISTENT. I can’t call in when your show is on, so thanks for giving me a forum here to vent.

I think a lot of people use labels interchangeably without thinking about that they mean. They say they are conservative or Republican when they are really just anti-Obama or anti-Union or anti-red dog. Just because you are a Republican does not make you a conservative and vice-versa. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. I am an Atheistic, anti-union, anti-Obama, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro legalization of Marijuana fiscally conservative Republican. I don’t know how many more labels I can attach to myself but I am the minority when it comes to Conservative Republicans. I am willing to forgo all other items that are extremely important to me ie. abortion, gay marriage, breaking unions, legalizing pot etc…for the sole purpose of financial solvency and fiscal responsibility in our country. Without the financial strength to hold on to our independence and our civil liberties, non of it means anything. Cut spending and regain our financial independence or we will all have to learn Chinese. Face it folks, we are owned at this point.
Gary,
I don’t know if you’ve discussed the dental assistant that was fire for being “Irresistibly Attractive” in Iowa. How could the IA Supreme Court uphold this ruling? When the dentist has made comments about the “bulge in his pants” from her revealing clothes and the comments about a “Labourghini in the garage that never gets driven”, how does she not own him for sexual harassment and sexual discrimination? This is another case where logic and common sense clearly lost to stupidity.
Good morning Swami! I just finished yesterday’s Trib. Picking subject for your show must be soooo easy with the Trib feeding you. Two items caught my attention. One, front page bottom; a real life picture of the Grinch! I feel so cheated being made to believe that the Grinch is GREEN. I’ll never believe Hollywood again! Two, more importantly, the story about the Boonville bridge and MO DOT. Apparently, people need special places to walk and ride bikes like very expensive trails and bridges. I’ve always utilized roads and sidewalks, but I’m a practical simple-minded man. How can MO DOT justify spending soooo much $$ on trails and trail bridges and in the same breath tell us we need to raise taxes for road repairs. Also heard on the news that the City of Col just received a grant from uncle to hire 5 firemen for some $650,000. Is the city actually short of firemen or did they just want the $$.
Though I know they legally have that right to stomp or other wise defile our Flag the reason the teacher stomped the flag should be the point. was he demonstrating that he had the right to or voicing his opinion. If it was the latter then suspension may be in order. Because that is against most state school rules. As for my personal opinion I think his name should be put in the news paper along with what he done and let all the veterans in the area know what he stands for. See if a bit of cold shoulder doesn’t change his attitude. When he walks into a store a vet owns and is refused service something which is in their right to do.
I am a bow hunter that has taken the class to bow hunt on Columbia city property. Here is the think for everything you need.

I live in KC, mo and a local radio DJ went to the gun show here last weekend. He was able to buy an AR-15 with no background check. Because the dealer was private this is not illegal but the concern was that this booth looked the same as all other booths and he was in and out of the show in less than 10 minutes carrying his new “assault rifle.” This seems way to easy! He also commented that the so-called private booths were the most popular and were selling the most guns. I think this is where a change in background checks is beneficial to the public. The radio station here is 98.1 and you could look into the story further if interested.
23 Executive orders on gun control! Now that everyone has to register, the government will know exactly where to go when they take the next step of coming to take your guns. The Constitution lost today my friends. I hate this president more than any other. Not because he is black, not because he is a Muslim, but because he is a radical socialist with arrogance that is beyond compare. OPEN YOUR EYES America, you are losing your freedoms little by little.
Hi Gary, Rob here,
To sum up our discussion from this morning; if what someone is doing undermines our society in any way (directly or indirectly) it should be a crime. (e.g. homosexuality, animal cruelty, pornography.)
I have listened to a lot of comment on your show lately about gun control and it is frustrating to keep hearing the same misinformation repeated over and over without anyone correcting them. Obama did issue a number of executive orders but they were ALL related to sharing information, training or mental health. NONE of his directives have anything in them about banning any equipment, that has to be done by Congress. One caller claimed that Clinton had done the assault weapons ban by executive order. It would be nice to hear this kind of thing corrected on air.

Folks who hang out there just call it “MoCarry”, like a nickname. Again, it’s MissouriCarry.com
Thanks.
Gary: This news about the parking garage suicide also being the mu professor is NOT making sense to me. Why on earth was his DNA saved after a suicide? Is this not an indirect violation of the 4th amendment? Is this routine for the CPD? These questions are tailor made for Jennifer Bukowski. Also Hoags arrest record does not really correspond to such a violent murder. Finally, the police arrested Hoag two months after the murder for minor drug charges and had NO indication he was guilty but are certain of it now that hes dead? Please help this make sense!
Gary, The only good comment I have heared from the president in years was after the shooting at Sandy Hook. He said that it should not be easier to get gun than mental health care, with a family member with a mental heath issue I agree. The first week of Dec. 2012 I got a letter in the mail from our insurance provider stating that it was now mandated that they provide contriception (a moral obligation ,not a nessecity), and on Feb 1st I got a letter stating that our insurance lowered mental health coverage by 30% after my premiums where raised another 18%. Today I got a letter stating my insurance is refusing to pay for my family members therapy along with a bill for the last 12 visits. My family pays roughly $13,000 a year in health insurance premiums.
So my question is do those taking advantage of government entitlements get to go where they want and get coverage , and was it just easier to go after my guns and give me condoms than to make mental health care a priority.
On my CenturyLink DSL bill there’s a line item that says:
BOONE 911 Surcharge .27
While that doesn’t seem like much, doesn’t every land line in Boone County have this charge? If there would be 100,000 people with phones paying 27 cents a month, that’s $27,000 a month or $324,000 a year. I also believe there’s such a tax on each cell phone.
My point is the Boone County commissioner on Monday’s Gary Noland Show gave a passing remark about how 911 is currently funded. He didn’t disclose how much 911 gets from our phone bills which may actually be a substantial amount. Perhaps it might dilute the reason for a new sales tax to finance 911 and a tornado proof building. Seems that a basement of an existing unused building would accomplish the same thing.
The commissioner needs to convince me the money being spent now for 911 is for essential purposes only.
Obama wants to raise the minimum wage in order to grow unemployment and thus get more of the population dependent on government help. He wants as many people on the public payroll as possible.

MU is a “Land Grant College”. It is owned by the citizens of Missouri. How does this “Sichuan Missouri University” help improve the quality of our workers so they can earn a decent living? As described in the article it’s purpose is to do that for Upper and Middle Income Chinese. Doesn’t our Legislature have to vote on this? Who signed the contracts? Do they have the authority to deal with a foreign Government owned Educational Facitity. Why is Missouri Taxpayer Money used for this?
Its called “regional dialect” You, as an outsider, should get used to it..Your last segment was really offensive! Who are you, and the other snapperheads, to try to correct familial grammer? I’m a nurse, and live here in Miller County. I speak the “regional dialect”, as I was born here. I speak Spanish, German, oh, and English as well.. By the way, the refrigerator, IS THE ICE BOX.
Gary, Term limits? I think TL’s are the only answer left since there is NO accountability. Examples: Ken Jacobs, local pol, gets appointed to a judicial position by a dem gov. He serves something ridiculous like 90 days and by doing so qualifies for lifetime pension…..LOL. When Ken Hulshof was running for office, he stood in front of the Col Pachyderms and swore he would only serve two terms because he believed in TL’s. Guess what? He ran and was elected 3 times and qualified for lifetime pension. Joanne Emmerson was recently elected to third term, to qualify for lifetime pension, and then resigned to work for national REA. Don’t want to pick on pubs, but apparently, they’re just as bad as dems. I think we should enact TL’s, end politician’s pensions AND make them retroactive.

I travel weekly across the country for my job and routine look for a flight out of Columbia. Unfortunately the cost ( $600-$1000) is not affordable. At least with Delta I could occasionally a trip for at or under $500. It’s getting worse, not better.

I may be called a conspiracy theorist, but are we sure he killed those people of his own free will, they can do some nifty stuff nowadays with drugs and mind control. please take the time to research operation gladio and operation northwoods, and then tell me that I wear a tin foil hat.
Hi Gary, I believe this is a coordinated effort from the current administration concerning CCW holders. This is a link to the story about the man who’s guns were confiscated due to obvious to nearly flagrant mining of HIPAA protected information. The are opening the taps to this information to intimidate, harass, and strongly discourage obtaining the CCW. This is a national effort and nothing is sacred, the ends justify the means.
