Raddatz: OMG today is the Super

SWAT teams and bomb sniffing dogs

Raddatz: should have had those
dogs before last year's crappy blowout

Cop: we've got x-rays and radiation detectors

Thomas: what are you looking for?

Cop: we're looking for weapons of mass destruction

Thomas: maybe Saddam hid them in
the greater Phoenix metropolitan area?

Thomas: this is deadly serious!

Cop: we could be attacked at any moment!

we can all be killed

officials to prevent a terror bombing
if we possibly can

Ducey: we're monitoring that Martha

Raddatz: John McCain say Deflategate
has ruined the Super Bowl

pay too much attention to what John says

Ducey: not the Cardinals

Raddatz: definitely not

[ break ]

up Deflategate before this game?

bargaining agreement says you
have to wait until after the Super
Bowl to prove cheating

the Patriots will get a break because
Bob Kraft is best friends with the Commissioner

Lynch to keep not answering questions?

Raddatz: the NFL is dealing with
child and domestic violence and
murder and concussions

Atallah: hey if the owners want
to keep this idiot loser as their
Commissioner that's their choice

[ break ]

Mother: my child was vaccinated and
he got measles anyway – what the fuck?

Besser: a now totally discredited 
study said vaccines were linked 
to autismand now parents have 
lost their goddamn minds

Mother: our children get too many
life-saving vaccines – it's double the
rate from 30 years ago!

Besser: although the study was
debunked and proved to be 
an utter fraud there are still 
anti-vaxxers out there

Doctor: I won't treat kids who 
aren't vaccinated

Raddatz: but isn't it their right
to refuse vaccinations?

Doctor: no it's playing Russian
roulette only you always lose

Raddatz: what the hell is going 
on with anti-vaxxers?

Frieden: it's insane – vaccines are 
safe and save lives

Raddatz: so you claim and also science says

Frieden: 92% of kids are vaccinated
we can't let measles come back!

Raddatz: I guess not

Frieden: they're putting their 
neighbors at risk!

Raddatz: but the weirdos on

Raddatz: but the weirdos on
faceebook won't listen to reason

Besser: 100,000 people die from 
measles every year!

Raddatz: does this put other kids at risk?

Frieden: sure it does – measles 
can come from anywhere

Raddatz: what about infants –
should they be kept out of school?

Besser: there should be no personal
belief exemptions – it's dangerous bullshit

Besser: no kids should be allowed in school
if parents just choose not to vaccinate
that's life-endangering crap!

[ break ]

Raddatz: OMG ISIS beheaded a
Japanese journalist – those fuckers

Ross: many Japanese thought
pleas for mercy would help –
well guess what they didn't

White House: we don't negotiate with terrorists

Karl: but you did negotiate with the Taliban

White Hosue: they're not terrorists –
they're people who happen to engage in terror tactics

Family member: the White House
wouldn't negotiate with terrorists –
they have little compassion for terror victims!

Raddatz: should the U.S. negotiate
with ISIS for kidnapped Americans?

Egli: absolutely not – they want money
and they use it to fund more terrorism

Garrett: only by talking can you get 
valuable information

Egli: you can't appease the wolf at the door

Raddatz: but come on money
changes hands all the time

Garrett: exactly – horse trading
is the name of the game

Raddatz: after demanding we negotiate
with terrorists I am now going complain
we negotiated for Bowe Bergdahl

Egli: yes it was terrible

Raddatz: ISIS does seem pretty vicious

Garrett: I'm not Raddatz:

Garrett: I'm not saying we can
agree with ISIS but you have to
talk with them to find out what they're all about

Raddatz: OMG Scott Walker leads 
polls on Facebook!

Karl: he beat the labor unions and 
became a star

Limbaugh: Walker is the man!

Karl: he won three elections in four years!

Karl: whose your ideal President?

Walker: me

[ break ]

Raddatz: welcome Governor

Walker: Hello Martha

Raddatz: Mitt Romney said we
need new people in the GOP

Walker: I agree with him that I am fantastic

Raddatz: how do you stand out
in a big GOP field

Walker: stand up to regular
Americans who want decent wages

Raddatz: Marco Rubio says he's
better on foreign policy than you

Walker: I know all about foreign policy
I met with Henry Kissinger yesterday

Raddatz: ok

Walker: I've been briefed about
the many terror threats to Wisconsin

Raddatz: oh have you?

Walker: yes the FBI told me about 
a plan to smuggle bombs in big 
blocks of cheese

Raddatz: are you sure they weren't 
punking you

Walker: well they show up
wearing cheese on their heads

Raddatz: what would yo do in Syria?

Walker: I would have bombed 
after the red line!

Raddatz: okay but would you do now?

Walker: be aggressive

Raddatz: we're bombing the
fuck out of ISIS right now

Walker: we must be more aggressive!

Raddatz: what does that even mean?

Walker: be really aggressive

Raddatz: could you be more specific?

Walker: I want to invade Syria all right!

Raddatz: would you deport 11 million people?

Walker: first we need to secure the border

Raddatz: okay then what

Walker: I'm against amnesty!

Raddatz: so you're for forcible deportation?

Walker: no I didn't say that

Raddatz: so what are you saying

Walker: I'm saying they don't have
to leave but they can't stay either

Raddatz: what about Hillary Clinton

Walker: she's old

Raddatz: that sounds sexist

Walker: now I'm just saying she
embodies Washington which people hate

Raddatz: you played football and your
sons play football and so does
your wife and your grandmother

Walker: yes but I can take all of them

Raddatz: as wide receiver you 
took a lot of hits

Walker: yes but my brain is just fine

Raddatz: is football safe

Walker: it's much safer now that it ever was

Raddatz: thanks for the players union

Walker: I see what you did there

Raddatz: are you running for President?

Walker: yes I am Martha – we've done worse

[ break ]

Raddatz: so why didn't Mitt run?

Dowd: he realized everyone hates his guts

Raddatz: it seems like everyone 
but Mitt is running

Ifill: Republicans are saying, 'why not me'?

Lowry: on paper Walker is 
the perfect candidate

Raddatz: Petey Beinart likes him

Lowry: shit he's doomed

Granderson: the Tea Party likes him too

Dowd: he's authentic which is
more than you can say for Mitt Romney

Lowry: he's been tested which
is more than you can say for Jeb Bush

Raddatz: what's wrong with Jeb

Lowry: no one likes him

Dowd: the name Bush is toxic

Ifill: the GOP needs to reach out
to minorities so they keep talking
up Marco Rubio

Raddatz: Hillary may not announce until July

Ifill: well why rush it?

Raddatz: it makes her look entitled

Granderson: liberals want
Warren but let's be honest –
Hillary going to be nominee

Dowd: she's being smart but she
should also run a good campaign

Raddatz: wise words

Granderson: the chance to vote for
first the woman President is exciting

Raddatz: oh who cares

Lowry: she's so entitled – just like Al Gore

Raddatz: ha ha ha

Ifill: Warren isn't running but her
supporters want to push Clinton to the left

Raddatz: the NFL is dealing with murder
and abuse and concussions and soft balls

Granderson: people only noticed
because Ray Rice's abuse was on videotape

Lowry: the Super Bowl is a civic festival
like Thanksgiving or Ronald Reagan's birthday

Dowd: I'm beginning to suspect NFL
owners are only in it for the money

Raddatz: so who wins today?

Dowd: seahawks

Granderson: Patriots because 
they are led by an evil genius

Lowry: I have soft spot for evil
empires so I support the Patriots

Ifill: I just want to each nachos

Raddatz: no U.S. soldiers were 
killed this week

Raddatz: and that's another episode
of This Week with what's his name

faceebook won't listen to reason

Besser: 100,000 people die from 
measles every year!

Raddatz: does this put other kids at risk?
