An old interview between Donald Trump and Sean Hannity is analyzed, where Trump suggests that the "28 pages" of the 9/11 Commission Report would implicate Saudi Arabia.

The 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks has renewed interest in alternative theories regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. Parallel discussions regarding government transparency highlight the CIA torture report and the perceived lack of oversight by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Critics point to instances where committee members refused to read classified reports as evidence of a failure in government accountability.

The long-awaited release of the "28 pages" from the 9/11 inquiry is discussed, with the hosts noting the strategic timing of the release during the RNC. Senator Bob Graham comments on the embarrassing nature of the information regarding Saudi Arabia. Legal expert Lionel explains the potential for "lawfare," where US citizens sue foreign governments, and the risk of reciprocal lawsuits against the US for drone strikes.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for car bombings at two hotels in Baghdad and a suicide attack at a Shiite mosque in Saudi Arabia. These attacks are viewed as a strategy to incite sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. The show concludes with a reference to the "28 pages" of the 9-11 Commission report and a final sign-off from Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak.

Following the 2014 election, Republican Senator Richard Burr took control of the Intelligence Committee and moved to recall all copies of the 6,000-page classified torture report.

The situation is compared to the ongoing redaction of the "28 pages" from the original 9/11 Commission Report.

Politicians and military leaders are warning that ISIS poses a direct threat to the US and UK homelands.

A Fox News investigative report is analyzed regarding FBI Special Agent Wade Ammerman and missing documents related to Anwar al-Awlaki's 2002 entry into the U.S. The FBI reportedly claimed "herculean efforts" to find a document cited in the 9/11 Commission Report, only to later withhold it. The hosts suggest al-Awlaki may have been a "flipped" asset.

Discrepancies in the official September 11 narrative are analyzed from an aviator's perspective, focusing on aircraft speeds and maneuvers that allegedly defy physics. Claims are made regarding the impossibility of a 737 maintaining 550 mph at low altitudes and the lack of functional air-phone technology in 2001. The segment suggests that video trickery or a 17-second broadcast delay may have been used to manipulate the live feed of the attacks.

The organization 9/11 Pilots for Truth challenges the official 9/11 Commission Report regarding the speed and altitude of the aircraft that struck the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. They claim it is physically impossible for a Boeing aircraft to maintain 400 miles per hour at 700 feet due to air resistance. Further claims suggest that cell phone calls from the flights were impossible above 1,000 feet.

The collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 is discussed as a primary point of contention for 9/11 skeptics. The hosts criticize the NIST report, which claimed that unprecedented magnetic changes in the steel allowed it to weaken at low temperatures. They argue that the official explanation for the free-fall collapse of the building is scientifically "laughable" and insulting to the public.
