Topic: Chicago Olympics

The FDIC is opening a massive new office in Chicago with 500 employees to manage an expected wave of bank failures in the Midwest. In sports news, the hosts mock an NBC reporter's interaction with Dutch gold medalist Sven Kramer. They criticize the International Olympic Committee for its strict control over media and its reliance on "volunteer" labor for a billion-dollar enterprise.

President Obama's brief trip to Copenhagen for the Chicago Olympic bid is characterized as a diversionary tactic. The hosts theorize that Obama may have made a secret stop in Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin, citing unusual flight timelines and the presence of two Air Force One aircraft. They suggest the one-hour stay in Denmark was insufficient to justify the $1.5 million travel cost unless another diplomatic mission was involved.

The discussion shifts to internal conflicts between the Obama administration, the CIA, and military commanders regarding troop surges in Afghanistan. The hosts suggest Obama's alleged trip to Russia might have been a plea for help amidst domestic military pressure. They also mock the State Department's reaction to Chicago's last-place finish in the Olympic voting process.

The segment analyzes how Fox News and CNN target different age demographics to keep the public distracted with partisan narratives. President Barack Obama's trip to Copenhagen to lobby for the Chicago Olympics is criticized as a branding exercise that distracts from military decisions regarding troop levels in Afghanistan.
