Topic: Council Of Governors

Hurricane Irene's impact on the U.S. East Coast is characterized as a media-driven farce and a distraction from ongoing military operations in Libya. The storm serves as a test for the Council of Governors executive order and a talking point for global warming advocates despite being downgraded to a category one hurricane. News organizations like ABC and CNN are criticized for using tight camera shots and hyperbolic adjectives to exaggerate the storm's severity.

President Obama signs an executive order creating a Council of Governors to coordinate state and federal military activities. The hosts interpret this as a move to synchronize the National Guard with federal forces for homeland defense. They suggest this provides a legal framework for the implementation of martial law during national emergencies.
