Todd:
omg im scared of terror!
Todd:
omg I'm scared of terror!
Johnson:
we have no specific credible
threats
to AmericaTodd: are you sure?
Johnson:
we want people to
know
we're vigilant
Todd:
they shut down Brussels – does that
mean
an attack is about to happen here?
Johnson:
maybe – if you see something
say something
Todd:
I'm frightened
Johnson:
we're on the job
Todd:
shooting up a pizza parlor is
inexpensive
which scares me
Bratton:
we just had a pretend terror
attack
in New York
Todd:
Macy's Thanksgiving Day parada
Bratton:
we will have 1,000 police
officers
just to stop terrorists
Bratton:
it will be safe and secure
with
no wind and 3 million people
Todd:
what about the visa waiver issue?
Johnson:
we've only had 2,000 Syria refugees
Todd:
eek
Johnson:
but people can come from
Europe
without a visa
Todd:
how about we just get rid of all Europeans
visiting
America –
they're all socialists anyway
Johnson:
no we need it for tourism
and business
Todd:
the Washington D.C. police chief says
civilians
should shoot terrorists
Bratton:
hey if you've got a gun and see
someone with
an AK-47 go to town
Todd:
I'm locked and loaded

I'm more worried about letting

on the terrorist watch list
buy guns and bombs
Todd:
thanks for coming Bill

Todd:
why can't we just destroy ISIS?
Engel:
Paris showed ISIS is a
world-wide threat!
Engel:
ISIS is the most successful
terror group
since al-qaeda
French
guy: daesh leaves
al-qaeda in the dust!
Engel:
they've attacked Russia and France
Putin:
we will crush them!
Engel:
the United States and Iran
are
both attacking ISIS!
Expert:
Turkey hates the Kurds
and
Saudia Arabia hates Iranians
Engel:
will Paris shock the world
or
will it take an attack on America?
Todd:
get some sleep Richard

Todd
welcome Leon
Panetta:
hi Chuck
Todd:
is Obama's plan working?
Panetta:
we have the right mission
but
we haven't done enough
Todd:
oh really?
Panetta:
we need to be
much
more aggressive
Todd:
do we need to what we're doing faster?
Panetta:
ISIS is a clear and
present
danger to America
Todd:
yikes
Panetta:
we need to unify all the
countries fighting ISIS
Todd:
problem solved
Panetta:
we to do more bombing
and
arm the Sunnis
Todd:
yeah!
Panetta:
frankly we need more
U.S. troops on the ground
Todd:
should we have bombed Assad
and
armed Syrian rebels?
Panetta:
Assad is the primary villain and
so
is Iran and also Hezbollah and also
Malaki and
the U.S. should have created
a moderate force in Iraq
Brokaw:
Obama is weak and Republicans
are
crazy – what should we do?
Panetta:
the U.S. has to lead!
Todd:
yay
Panetta:
the U.S. should have stronger leadership!
Todd:
U.S. should be strong!
Panetta:
we're going to have put in
thousands
of ground troops in Iraq and Syria
Todd:
uh oh
Panetta:
we have to invade and occupy
Iraq and Syria!
Cooper:
do you really think we can
unify
the U.S. and Russia and Iran?
Panetta:
of course not
Todd:
ah
Panetta:
we should invoke Article 5
of the NATO charter
Todd:
was that in 50 Shades of Gray?
Panetta:
we have the same team
we had in Libya
Todd:
which went so well
Panetta:
I don't trust Russia or Iran
Todd:
what's worse – ISIS or Assad
Panetta:
we should wage war on ISIS and
Assad
at the same time – he's a war criminal
and
they're unpleasant in the extreme

Todd:
Obama is tone-deaf but
Republicans are lunatics
Trump:
I want mass surveillance of Muslims!
Cruz:
we're not attacked by Presbyterians!
Carson:
refugees are rabid dogs!
Todd:
It's not easy being a muslim is it?
Iftikhar:
Muslims are snooped and
threatened
all over America
Todd:
omg
Enetekar:
that's par for the course since 9/11
Trump:
in Jersey City thousands
cheered on 9/11
Bush:
Islam is peace!
Rubio:
all Muslims are like Nazis
Bush:
there is no clash of civilizations
Carson:
refugees are like rabid dogs!
Bush:
we respect all faiths
Todd:
please praise George W. Bush for me
Iftikhar:
who cares – he would be
shouted
out of the party now
Todd:
true
Iftikhar:
are they going to put Kareem
Abdul
Jabbar and Muhammad Ali and
Dave
Chapelle in this database?
Todd:
is it a database of Most
Popular Americans?
Iftikhar: no
Todd: oh too bad
Iftikhar:
are they going make us
wear the Star of David?
Todd:
probably not
Iftikhar:
how about a crescent?
Todd:
only if Trump becomes President
but
that's like a one in four chance
Parker:
why don't you ask them to
tone down the rhetoric?
Iftikhar:
how about good decent
people
speak out against this?
Parker:
I'm just saying you should
meet
with people who hate you
Todd:
how a public forum like my show?
Parker:
exactly!
Iftikhar:
will this forum take place
in
Muslim internment camps?
Fournier:
why don't people put the
flag
of Mali in the twitter avatar?
Iftikhar:
because Mali is full black people
so
Americans don't give a shit
Fournier:
but is it really just racism –
after
I didn't do it and I can't be racist
Iftikhar:
media let these weirdos go one
about
rabid dogs and special IDs and Muslim
databases
and then say 'both sides do it'
Brokaw:
this is really Obama's fault for
not
educating people about his faith
Cooper:
there is no link between Syria refugees
and
Paris and the
media doesn't report on that
Brokaw:
they are orphans because
of
Obama's bombs
Fournier:
we are one domestic attack from
a
total unraveling of this country
Iftikhar:
30% people think Islam
should be illegal! Wake the fuck up!
Todd:
how do we combat that
kind of thinking?
Iftikhar:
if only there was so medium
that
could reach millions of people
Todd:
oh I get it – you're talking
about the Internet
Iftikhar:
JFC
Todd:
the US has taken in 120,000 Iraqi refugees and
785,000 refugees have
been admitted since 9/11
and only
a dozen were possible terrorists
Todd:
The U.N. referred at 23,000 refugees and the U.S. interviewed 7,000
and took
only 2,000 Syria refugees
Todd:
the real problem is visa waiver program –
basically
anyone from Europe can
come in no question asked
Todd:
all the 9/11 hijackers all
came in on a visa
Todd:
welcome Governor Kasich
Todd:
you want to promote judeo-christian values – do
you hate other religions
Kasich:
no I only mean respecting
life and women
and freedom and
all that Christian stuff
Todd:
I see
Kasich:
you're clearly a stupid person Chuck
Todd:
i've heard that
Kasich:
we need to win the battle of ideas!
Todd:
yeah!
Kasich:
Western civilization is under attack –
they
want to destroy our way of life
Todd:
that's not very nice
Kasich:
science and women's rights
are under attack!
Todd:
are we talking about ISIS
or the Republicans?
Kasich:
we believe in life and they
believe in death
Todd:
go on
Kasich:
the west represents freedom
and
progress and the East is a death cult
Todd:
so it's a war of East vs West?
Kasich:
Musims and Arabs used to believe
in
science and now they believe in murder
Todd:
at least it's an ethos
Kasich:
we need to work with moderates
like
the Saudis
Todd:
good plan
Kasich:
we have to stop the radicalization
of
people and get them to embrace
civilization
and the western ethic
Todd:
what's wrong the GOP – I mean
with the talk
about rabid dogs and
Muslim-American registries?
Kasich:
I'm in a war with Donald Trump!
Kasich:
I condemned him!
Todd:
well he's beating you
Kasich:
no he's not?
Todd:
no?
Kasich:
I'm in a twitter war
with
Donald Trump!
Todd:
Bratton wants to stop people
from
terror watch list buy a gun?
Kasich:
we can't do that because
guns
make you safe
[
break ]
Todd:
so do we think of Kasich?
Brokaw:
he doesn't hate Muslims
so
he will be attacked by the right wing
Todd:
that checks out
Brokaw:
Indonesia has some very nice
Muslims
and some lovely beaches
Todd:
I've heard that
Brokaw:
Donald Trump is lying about
thousands
in Jersey City cheering the
towers
falling down
Cruz:
Mr. President insult me to my face!
Todd:
that's batshit insane
Parker:
that was a very smart move
Parker:
it's playground swagger
Cooper:
the whole fucking GOP primary
campaign
is lies and childish swagger
Todd:
omg a Democrat won the
Governor's
race in Louisiana
Fournier:
sure but he was pro-gun pro-life
veteran up
against a guy
who went to hookers
Todd:
good point Ron
Fournier:
we as a people need to stop demonizing
each
other and
also our leaders are bad
Brokaw:
Paris shows we are at war!
Todd:
it's like 1941 all over again!
Brokaw:
we have going to have to re-invade and re-occupy Iraq and we're not
going to get a lot of help from Europe this time
Todd:
didn't France just declare war on ISIS?
Fournier:
forget it he's tolling
Cooper:
nobody leave al qaeda in a corner!
Parker:
if we re-invade Iraq we're just
going
to create more radicals in Paris
and not
the cool kind with the
berets and fancy cigarettes
Fournier:
should we draft young
people like we did in WWII?
Brokaw:
absolutely
Todd:
and that's another
episode
of Meet The Press
