The final analysis of the James Foley video concludes that it is an inauthentic, low-budget Photoshop job that has nonetheless been effective in swaying public opinion. The hosts express frustration that the public is so used to "fake stuff" that they no longer question obvious discrepancies. They call for service members to return home rather than fight based on manufactured outrage.

Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera criticize a University of Washington professor who compared military recruitment to "predatory grooming." During the segment, O'Reilly incorrectly claims that soldiers can simply "leave" the military if they don't like it. The hosts mock this ignorance of military law and the reality of AWOL consequences.

Seventeen members of the Afghan military being trained at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas have gone AWOL. These individuals have security badges and access to U.S. defense installations. The hosts suggest this could be a setup for a "false flag" event, noting that the missing men are trained pilots and their whereabouts are currently unknown to federal law enforcement.

President Obama reportedly disappeared from the White House press pool for 90 minutes over the weekend. While the official reason involved a soccer game, researchers found no such game occurred at the specified location. The hosts discuss the incident as a potential joke on the media or a lapse in transparency.
