Todd:
OMG
France is at
war with
radical Islam!
Audience:
eek
Todd:
one
of the gunmen
appears
to pledge to ISIS
Todd:
now
there is one million
person
rally in Paris
Neely:
Christians, Muslims,
Jews
and
miscellaneous
are here to show their
support
Todd:
wow
Neely:
the challenge is crack down
on
terrorism without overdoing it
Todd:
but
overdoing it is what we do
Neely:
it's a test for France
and Europe
and the West
Todd:
Richard
what
went wrong?
Engel:
these were not lone wolves
but
trained terrorists
Engel:
they were known militants
but police
can't surveil every
radical 24 hours a day
Engel:
where you surprised by this attack?
Expert:
oh
no not all
Engel:
they trained in Yemen like
real
soldiers and came back with
a
mission – to shoot cartoonists

Todd:
Welcome Mr. Attorney General
Holder:
good morning Todd
Todd:
is
the U.S. at war with radical islam?
Holder:
we're at war with terrorists
Todd:
islamic
terrorists?
Holder:
they pervert the religion
and
commit heinous acts!
Todd:
was
this a failure of intelligence
or
a failure of law enforcement?
Holder:
that's a loaded question Chuck
Todd:
oh
I know ric
Holder:
France is our greatest ally!
Todd:
why
can't we destroy
al-Qaeda
in Yemen?
Holder:
we smashed core
al-Qaeda
but
they have all
these
affiliates
and franchises
Todd:
they
grow like McDonalds
Holder:
more
like Starbucks
Todd:
that's even more horrifying
Todd:
are
you
terrified
of sleeper cells
in
America and should we follow
them
around 24 hours a day?
Holder:
you might surprised at
how
many Americans we're spying
on
right now Todd
Todd:
oh
really?
Holder:
yes but then they move and
don't
leave a forwarding address
and
we can't find them
Todd:
try Sallie Mae – they can find anybody
Holder:
no they're too ruthless to deal with
Todd:
those
squishy
Europeans were
all
concerned
about their 'privacy'
and
now they've been attacked
ergo
prompter hoc quid pro quo
Holder:
that's right - we can't protect
privacy or we'll
get slammed if there
is an attack in
America
Todd:
are
you going to arrest
General Petraeus?
Holder:
I might
Todd:
that
would be exciting
Holder:
yes it would

Todd:
panel
if this attack
happened
in America
it would be Obama's
fault so
in a way it is his fault
Mitchell:
like Boston was Obama's fault!
Todd:
so true
Mitchell:
the French don't have the
manpower
to follow 5 million people around
Todd:
well they
need to get on that
Cooper:
France is not welcoming
to
immigrants unlike America is
Todd:
Boko Haram killed thousands
this
week – what in
the holy hell
is
going on??
Brooks:
all these do gooder types
buy mosquito
nets like liberal weenies
but the best
way to help poor people
around the world
is to donate your
charity dollars to funding an
all-powerful
international
police force
Todd:
what's the answer to
answer
to terror Rich?
Lowry:
massive uncontrolled
spying
Mitchell:
we've got Syria and
bring-back-our-girls
and
Palestine
and Boko Haram
Todd:
Elvis
Presley
Disneyland
Mitchell:
we
didn't start the fire!
[

Todd:
you actually met one of
the Paris terrorists!
Al-Kibsi:
yes
was playing football
Todd:
quarterback?
Al-Kibsi:
what?
Todd:
nevermind
Al-Kibsi:
he
knew the underwear bomber!
Todd:
I met Iggy Azelea
Al-Kibsi:
who
is he?
Todd:
when
you talked to him did
he
give off a vibe of like
“hey
I'm a mass murderer”
Al-Kibsi:
no
he seemed very normal
Todd:
well
that's how they all seem
before
they shoot up a room full of people
[

Todd:
why
aren't U.S. Muslims
killing people?
Amen:
America is more accepting of
immigrants
so radicalization isn't a problem
Allie:
you can be fully American
and
fully Muslim!
Ayman:
what
about alienated young men?
Allie:
we need to inoculate
against them
Todd:
are we at war with Islam
or
just a
strain of Islam?
Aslan:
the whole
problem is
one
crazy sect – Wahhabism
Todd:
wha
who?
Aslan:
Saudi Arabia
has
spent
100
billion spreading this hateful
ideology
around the world
and
it leads directly to the murders
of
thousands of innocent people
Todd:
ixnay
on the audisay arabiasay
Aslan:
sorry Toff
Todd:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali says these terrorists
are
inspired by the basic tenets of Islam –
is
that true?
Iftikhar:
that's collective guilt – there's
one
billion 700
million peaceful
muslims!
Todd:
so there's a few good ones
Iftikhar:
when brown muslim men
kill
it's 'terrorism'
and every muslim
is
responsible
and when Anders
Brevik
kills we don't ask white
people
or
christians or Europeans
to
rush out and condemn
it
Aslan:
when
people
ask 'when
are
moderate
muslims
going to
condemn
these
attacks'
I conclude
they
doesn't have
access
to the google
Todd:
I'm
a card catalog man myself
Aslan:
it doesn't help to blame one
billion
people for the actions of a tiny few
Todd:
perhaps
not
[

Todd:
Rich tell us all
about
Islam
Lowry:
not all Muslims
are terrorists
Todd:
big of you to admit that
Lowry:
but
in
America if you insult
someone
no one will show up at
your
door with a gun
Todd:Americans prefer to do
their shooting while out driving
Brooks: we're a car culture
Todd:
David Brooks you say
the
real problem is liberals
on
college campuses
Brooks:
right
– I
have studied the
issue
of international terrorism and
have
concluded that the
real problem
is
campus speech codes
Todd:
that's so 1987
Brooks:
I know all about Islam and
discrimination
and radicalization and
have
found the core issue is no one
wants
me as their commencement speaker
Todd:
you're so wise
Brooks:
we here at Meet
The Press are the adult table
Todd:
now
here's a clip of South
Park
Todd:
do Muslims
need to learn
to
respect even abhorrent speech
like
everyone else does?
Aslan:
you
know
if France it's
illegal
to deny the Holocaust
Todd:
ok but don't Muslims need to
tolerate
being satirized which
they
obviously
don't understand?
Aslan:
look a muslim police officer died
defending
the right to insult his religion
– how's
that for tolerating?

Todd:
OMG Florida was ordered to
allow
marriage
equality
so now 70% of
Americans
can be forced to get
gay married!
Audience:
whoa
Todd:
19
states now
allow
legal
marijuana
and gay weddings
Audience:
partay partay
Todd:
the
anti-gay states love guns
Audience:
can I marry my gun?
Todd:
some
states are gay
pot-loving
minimum wagers
Audience: got to pay for
the pot somehow
Todd:
while others
hate
abortion and gays
Audience: what about a gay fetus?
Todd:
Vermont and Alaska and
New
Mexico let you get high and
get
shot and get an abortion
Audience: there's your
weekend right there
Todd:
when
Obama became President
there
were 242
guys
in Gitmo and
now there
are 147
left
Todd:
Gitmo is so horrible that anyone
there
now
really hates
America so if
we
let them out they
will attack us
Sloan:
for anyone to be transferred from
Gitmo
six different agencies all have to
agree
the person is not a threat
Todd:
that's
tougher than a
Presidential
primary
Sloan:
90% of the guys in Gitmo
are perfectly fine and not as
crazy as Mel Gibson
Pletka:
if you're not willing to keep
people
locked up you have to kill them
Todd:
Yemen is too dangerous
to
let people go there
Rosenberg:
it's scary
Todd:
what about people who we
know
are bad but we can't prove it?
Sloan:
well when
it's down to
just a
few guys why keep a
massive base in Cuba?
Todd:
is Gitmo a recruiting
tool for terrorists?
Pletka:
no not at all because the
Iraq
war is a much better recruiting
tool
Todd:
good point
Sloan:
Gitmo will be closed within two years
Todd:
even with a Republican Congress?
Sloan:
don't underestimate
unleashed Obama!
Rosenberg:
most of the men at
Gitmo
are prisoners of war which
will
never ever ever end
Todd:
did these detainees
get
due process?
Sloan:
holding people for 15 years
without
charges is a bit of problem
[

Todd:
OMG Jeb Bush is running for President
Mitchell:
it's
on!
Todd:
but then Romney jumped in
Lowry:
dear god we need some
fresh faces
in the GOP not these
fucking doddering old
losers
Mitchell:
I hear Romney isn't running
– he
just hates Jeb Bush
Brooks:
I'm a Calvin Coolidge
man myself
Todd:
of
course you
are
Brooks:
people hate Hillary too you know
Todd:
there's
a rise in populism across
the
world and here we're going to
nominate
a
Bush
and
a
Clinton
Cooper:
a
French person said
to
me we beheaded our king
what
did you do with yours?
Todd:
buried him in a pink
cadillac
and put him on a stamp
Mitchell:
this is going to be
a
serious-person
election
Todd:
Chris
Christie made a total
fool
of himself at a Cowboys game
Lowry:
he needs to practice his bro hugs in the mirror
Todd:
omg
Christie and Scott
Walker
are in a twitter war!
Lowry:
Scott Walker can tap his big
national
base
of rich donors named Koch
Todd:
I'm an owner of the Green Pay Packers!
Brooks:
so am I
Todd:
but you root for the Redskins
Brooks:
I'm not a phony!
Todd:
and that's another
episode
of
Meet The Press
