John, Rubin, and Michael Shure hosting. NBC’s Brian Williams is under fire for revelations that he has been lying about the helicopter crash he was involved in while reporting on the Iraq War in 2003. Videos of him telling the story to David Letterman and Alec Baldwin on separate occasions over the years. Michael defended Williams mis-remembering the story. Rubin partially blames him for getting these details incorrect. The panel doesn’t see any shady reason he’d do this on purpose or push an agenda. Boko Haram fighters have attacked citizens in Cameroon, killing more. Several African nations have banded together to counter the terrorist organization’s murders. President Obama spoke to a Prayer Breakfast about the extremism of groups posing as religious groups, including some Christian ones. Rubin is over Obama and his dry, empty speeches. President Obama left open only one route the Keystone Pipeline could be approved by him. That door has been closed as a study showed it could damage the environment while providing only temporary jobs. Newly released documents show that The Pentagon conducted mental analysis of Vladimir Putin back in 2008, and concluded that he has Aspergers Syndrome. Women in the Jihad movement with ISIS put out a report and manifesto about what its like to live their lives. They started off by criticizing Western cultures allowing their women to leave home, work, and develop anti-religious beliefs. They then got into details of how its normal for girls to be married at age 9.
