Raddatz:
there was another
mass
shooting in California
Audience:
omg
Raddatz:
there are 10 crime
scenes
and 7 people dead
Sandell:
Martha it is not a good morning here
Raddatz:
no
Sandell:
the shooter was working
on
his twisted plan for months
Raddatz:
yikes
Sandell:
in a YouTube video he
says
women didn't want sex with him
so
he sought revenge against all humanity
Raddatz:
sheesh
Sandell:
his family says
he was mentally disturbed
Raddatz:
okay then

Raddatz:
police talked to him in
April
and said he was a polite kid and left
Garrett:
cops are not psychologists
– he
seemed lucid to them
Raddatz:
what could the police have done?
Thomas:
Police have to be more
pro-active
by finding out if he's
purchased
weapons which would
be
enough to get a search warrant
Garrett:
the parents knew he was
crazy
but he has a 2nd
Amendment
right
to stockpile guns and ammunition
Raddatz:
what's with all the mass shootings
Thomas:
we used to average 5
mass shootings
per year and
now we average 15 years
Raddatz:
well that seems high
Thomas:
it is
Raddatz:
Pope Francis is in Bethlehem!
Moran:
the Pope said he was
in
the State of Palestine!
Raddatz:
omg
Moran:
Francis prayed at the wall
separating
Israel and Palestine
Raddatz:
gosh
Moran:
the Pope pissed people off
by
railing against those who
sell
weapons for war
Raddatz:
ooh legitimate arms
dealers
won't like that
Moran:
the Pope invited the Presidents
of
Israel and Palestine to come to the
Vatican
and hang out for a weekend
and
they said yes
Raddatz:
there's a scandal at
the Veteran's Administration!
Avila:
whistleblowers say local offices
lied
to the bosses in Washington DC
Raddatz:
that's bad
Avila:
Shinseki is staying on to fix the problem
[

Raddatz:
What's happening in Ukraine?
Marquardt:
voting stations are being
shut
down by pro-Russian activists
Raddatz:
well you can't make an
omlette
without breaking a few voting boxes
Marquardt:
the new President will
be
an eccentric chocolate billionaire
Raddatz:
what do we know about him
Marquadt:
very little – he is guarded
day
and night by Oompa-Loompas
Raddatz:
America is accusing the
Chinese
of stealing American secrets!
Comey:
the theft is staggering
Thomas:
the US charged the Chinese
military
with hacking into US companies
Expert:
3,000 companies were hacked last year
Thomas:
so US companies spend billions to develop new technologies and then
the Chinese come along and steal it! Outrageous!
Comey:
right!
Thomas:
do you have proof of this theft?
Comey: oh we can prove it buddy
Thomas:
yes but President Snowden
informed
us that the U.S. also spies
which
makes us hypocrites
Expert:
the U.S. does not steal trade
secrets
to give businesses advantages
Raddatz:
this indictment proves that
Obama
isn't doing enough doesn't it
Huntsman:
this gets to heart and soul
of
innovation which the U.S.
does
better than anyone
Raddatz:
maybe you misheard me
–
please
bash Obama
Huntsman:
yes this indictment is not enough
Raddatz:
but President Snowden
revealed
that the U.S. spies on
China
which is equally wrong
Ganyard:
there is a big difference
between
spying for defense
and
stealing businesses secrets
Raddatz:
isn't Chinese spying an act of war?
Huntsman:
we need to be more fastidious
Raddatz:
that's a strong bold word
Huntsman:
this is serious
Raddatz:
why can't business
protect themselves?
Ganyard:
businesses parked the
Ferrari
in a bad neighborhood
overnight
and left the keys in the car
and
now their businesses are in
chop shops
being sold for parts
Raddatz:
what about cyber-mercenaries?
Ganyard:
Martha we need a
Neuromancing Bobba Fett
Raddatz:
I love it!

Raddatz:
holy shit NFL players claim
their
teams gave them pain-relieving
drugs
so they could go on the field and
smash
into other men at high speed
Schlereth:
when I was in the NFL
I had
a great relationship with
the guys
with the drugs
Raddatz:
so no problem then
Schlereth:
in fact the players wanted
to
play injured and the doctors
would
hold us back
Raddatz:
but you know the teams put
guys
with head injuries back on the field
Schlereth:
that's true – there
may
be a tiny conflict of interest
Brennan:
maybe Mark Schlereth had a
good
experience but the players
filing
the lawsuit certainly did not
Raddatz:
it would seem so
Brennan:
we know the NFL
covered
up concussions for
years
so this doesn't look good
Raddatz:
50 Senators have called
on
the Redskins to change their name
Breannan:
it's a big deal and
the
name will change soon
Schlereth:
definitely it's time for
the
NFL to follow high schools
and
colleges on these insulting slurs
Raddatz:
when the NCAA is
ahead
of you morally you know
you're
in deep trouble
Schlereth:
indeed – those bastards
would sell
their mothers and
even they get it
[

Raddatz:
welcome panel –
please
bash Obama for me
Dowd:
I don't think Obama is
a
bad person but we need
to
treat our veterans better
Raddatz:
that's a bold statement
Dowd:
did you know there
are
homeless veterans?
Raddatz:
no – really?!?
Dowd:
also we need to
stop
these long wars
Raddatz:
will someone please
bash
Obama for me
Plouffe:
Obama has improved the VA
Raddatz:
no no – this is Obama's fault
Plouffe:
the VA actually treat veterans well
Raddatz:
no!
Plouffe:
yes!
Raddatz:
should Shinseki resign?
Navarro:
yes!
Raddatz:
thank you!
Navarro:
this is an example of
incompetence
and lack of leadership
and
of being asleep at the wheel
Anderson:
no actually there is
a
structural problem at the VA
Raddatz:
should we disband the VA?
Dowd:
my brother likes the treatment
he
gets at the VA but he waits too long
Plouffe:
so the VA is doing a
good
job but needs more funding
Raddatz:
okay enough about that –
let's
about Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight
[

Raddatz:
Ana what's the deal
with the tea party and Republicans?
Navarro: this was a great week
for the GOP because we didn't
nominate a bunch of lunatics
-- take that Democrats!
Raddatz: Matt you say the tea party
is like the Oakland A's -- they are
losers but others stole their ideas and won
Dowd:
the tea party won by
moving
the GOP to the right
Navarro:
I disagree – there are two
factions
and the moderates fought
back
this week and they won!
Plouffe: i wouldn't celebrate just ye
Navarro: suck it Plouffy
Plouffe: ok so you didn't nominate
a witch and rape defenders
Navarro: woot!
Plouffe:
look at the modern GOP –
against
climate change,
gay
marriage, sanity
Soltis
Anderson: if you want to
win
a race you have to fight
Raddatz:
well put Kristen
Raddatz:
Chelsea Clinton's
mother-in-law
ran for Congress and lost!
Plouffe:
oh that it doesn't say
anything about
a lack of Clinton coat-tails
Raddatz:
is Julian Castro a rising star in 2016?
Dowd:
I don't why anyone would
take
some shitty job like a
Cabinet
post in a lame-duck administration
Navarro:
obviously it was a
chance
to leave Texas – who wouldn't?
Dowd:
HUD isn't an opportunity
–
it's
going off a cliff!
Raddatz:
on this Memorial day
week
I remember a terrible tragedy
Audience:
Benghazi?
Raddatz:
no a slightly less famous
battle where
8 U.S. soldiers killed
and 60
were wounded
Audience:
oh
Raddatz:
they were unprotected
and
exposed and faced
massive
numbers of insurgents
Doctor:
it was a tidal wave of wounded
Raddatz:
after 15 months the
unit
had lost over 150 soldiers
Raddatz:
ten years later at
a
reunion the soldiers remember
their
brothers
Raddatz:
for some it is too much to bear
Veteran:
I needed this reunion to turn the page
Raddatz:
it's hard to move on isn't it
Veteran:
some of us still need help
Doctor:
I wish we could have
brought
everyone home
[

Raddatz:
back them Martin Dempsey
was
a two-star General – how he's
got
4 stars and is Chair of the Joints Chiefs
Dempsey:
the suffering from
the
war still goes on
Raddatz:
what does Memorial
day
mean to you?
Dempsey:
we will have to fight more
wars
in the Middle East and
Africa
for a very long term
Raddatz:
oh terrific
Raddatz:
what about the
Veteran's
Administration?
Dempsey:
it's terrible but Shinseki
will
hold people accountable
Raddatz:
what are your
feelings
about Arlington?
Dempsey:
they are us –
men
and women and every ethnicity
– we
honor they sacrifice
Raddatz:
thanks for your service
