Executive producer Bill Wolff shares a preview of tonight's show, and all that jazz:





Ok so Fats Walker did not have a Fender Strat. But could you imagine??
OH my Rachel , you can not get sick. please.
Most of the country doesn't need a dvr for FridayTRMS- just getting ready to start the evening. Here in Hawaii, it's frickign afternoon with kids just back from school running around at 120mph excited about the weekend.
As for our music interlude, here is an alternative musical metaphor of pluralistic polyphony, a tradtion stretching back to 900AD and perhaps much further. Polyphonic choral music with dyadic counterpoint .
Witness the Bulgarian Women's Choir. (You may need to move the slider to get it playing).
Can we NOW at least have a REAL investigation of 911? How about release of Pentagon perimeter tapes ALL now "classified" for National Security--if the perimeter tapes SHOW a plane ... why NOT show them??? For those in Afghanistan can we at least now have the NY WTC dust, steel, and other debris checked for EXPLOSIVES..which NIST ws ordered by BUSH NOT to test for explosives? Also why did Bldg 7 fall (never a single sentence in "final report")which was least damaged of buildings 3,4,5 (22 story hotel) and 6 which DID NOT fall, PHYSICS..MATHEMATICS. Do the math, look at the data. Look at the pictures of Pentagon lawn..NO PLANE. you can't have an airplane disappear like a Harry Potter "portkey" leaving NO evidence it was ever there, while papers, desks, and even computer monitors were NOT damaged at all. Hagel KNOWS about False Flags since Gulf of Tonkin was as Johnson said "two knuckleheads shooting ducks up there, but it got us our war." Politics is STILL being played with soldiers lives and also NEVER punished ANYONE for LYING about Iraq. IS THIS the "Change we can believe in?"
Why is the media STILL afraid to KNOW and TELL the falt facts? You jump on politifacts...yet your own record is not so clean either on 911 or Iraq and Afghanistan "stuff". For images of Pentagon lawn see admin notes here:Legal Gun Owners in New York Outed Like Sex Offenders http://ow.ly/gmZkL

On Gun control:
One more link about the CIA agent who was arrested trying to "out" 911 and the Mossad involvement: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/01/06/cia-officer-john-kiriakou-imprisoned-to-protect-911-cover-up/
Why are the fact there were multiple shooters at Sandy Hook NOT mentioned? http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/12/27/sandy-hook-huge-hoax-and-anti-gun-psy-op/
two peope were shot in cofee shop then went into theatre-only an off-duty policewoman shot and kiled man before he could fire a shot no one heard about this NATIONALLY...

Another Black Female Sheriff HERO who NEVER made "National News" : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200423341216152&set=oa.10151318032832978&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf
2nd Amendment is for protection from government's like Johnson's False Flag Vietnam, and the 911 Flase Flag to invade Iraq...Afghanistan had NOTHING to do with it. A NEW investigation would PROVE this if conducted OPENLY and ALL "classified" documents are OPENED to "We the people...".
But I don't think Obama, nor the media wants to KNOW the flat facts of these gun deaths by people of phsychotic drugs and false history available on net to see it as false.
Bob.
My final call is, has my Ms. Spunky and The Mr. Shultz called a truce ?
I am more sorry, but I like Ms Spunky. OK I am a man so what do I know. but just saying. . . .
In her last segment she mentioned the name of the summer months that the gay pride parades are held.
Not true for every city, as we here in Atlanta have our Gay Pride Festival/Parade in October! It's wonderful. Attend it if you can.
Just caught a bit of the show tonight. Is there a link to the charts used on the debt/deficit segment? Can't wait for that segment to be put up in a clip so I can watch the whole thing.
Where else can you go to get the facts!!! Rachel is the one person who checks all of her facts. The thing here isn't that we have troops in Iraq and how many.
Like you said 5000 are their for Embasey protection. The remaining are still helping with security forces.
It is time we pull out of afganistan. Being a Vietnam vet(USMC) We should not let any forces their at all. Afganistan will be taken over by the Talaiban once we leave. Why because Karzai is talking with the Talaiban and will give into them.
The thing I don't like is you calling RM a lier!! You want lies tun in everynight to FOX. Nothing but lies.
Just wondering why, on tonight's show, Rachel has once again promoted the lie that the US has left no troops behind in Iraq. This was in the context of talking about whether or not we would leave troops stationed in Afghanistan and, if so, how many and for how long. When the US "withdrew" from Iraq, at the end of 2011, we left 15,000 US personnel (5,000 of them US military personnel) stationed at the US embassy. While 5,000 is a far cry from the over 170,000 soldiers we once had on the ground in that country, 5,000 armed military personnel is a far cry from "no military left in Iraq." Why is TRMS perpetuating this lie?
Bill,
Here's a little something for your tired over-celebrated bones. I can only hope that one day Afghan and Iraqi youth can feel as free as these Vietnamese boys. What religion one believes in, or not, and what form of governmeny runs the country one lives in should not matter in the ability to live life.
