Topic: Flight 77

The hosts mock Fox & Friends for their coverage of Anwar al-Awlaki, specifically the description of him as a "cyber master." They deconstruct the narrative linking al-Awlaki to the 9/11 hijackers of Flight 77 and various "homegrown" terror plots. They argue the media is casting al-Awlaki as a "mastermind" to justify the drone program.

Catherine Herridge defends her reporting on Anwar al-Awlaki's 2002 Pentagon visit, noting he was vetted as a "moderate Muslim" despite FBI interest in his contacts with 9/11 hijackers. A caller on C-SPAN refers to al-Awlaki as an "Emanuel Goldstein" character, a reference to George Orwell's 1984. Herridge describes al-Awlaki's return to the Pentagon as a "thief returning to the scene of a crime."

Data from American Airlines Flight 77, obtained via FOIA by the organization Pilots for 9/11 Truth, is discussed. Analysis of the flight recorder parameters suggests the cockpit door never opened during the flight, contradicting the hijacker narrative. The collapse of WTC 7 is also mentioned as a persistent point of contention for skeptics.
