| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in New Orleans. What we do not know about Shamsuddin Jabbar is a great deal. Too much to list. We don't know whether he talked to anybody online, whether he met anybody if he took a trip overseas, if that's confirmed. We don't know |
| 0:21.7 | where he got the instructions to build explosives that did not work. We don't know anything |
| 0:27.7 | that is vital to make the final determination, as many have, that he acted alone. It does appear |
| 0:37.2 | that there are no accomplices. |
| 0:39.2 | However, we've had much experience with lone wolves who are coached, |
| 0:45.2 | groomed and coached to attack and appear a lone wolf. |
| 0:50.8 | ISIS especially enjoys that tactic. |

| 0:56.4 | Bill Rajio joins asking about the al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan. |

| 1:26.6 | It cannot be ruled out. |
| 1:34.0 | He mentions it was eight years between the first World Trade attack and the second time. It's not a concern of al-Qaeda and its kindred of K. |
| 1:38.8 | Taiwan, Gordon Chang and I call Ann Stevenson Yang in Taiwan, where she says the population does not |
| 1:45.8 | seem alarmed about an attack from China. In fact, do not believe there will be a kinetic warfare |
| 1:51.4 | attack from China. Anne adds the analysis that the concern of the Chinese Communist Party |
| 1:59.3 | is to maintain the loyalty of the army, not to use it. |
| 2:03.6 | And Xi Jinping vies all the time with army commanders for loyalty, for attention of the PLA, |
| 2:11.9 | a great big state within a state. |
