| 0:00.0 | Hey there, I'm Amid al-Yakber, and this is See Something Say Something. |
| 0:07.0 | This week we're going to be talking about fake news and the Islamophobia industry. |
| 0:10.8 | And it leads a lot of people here stateside to think that, you know, |
| 0:14.1 | immigration has just absolutely destroyed that continent and ruined those countries, |
| 0:18.6 | and it's all because of those Muslims. |
| 0:19.9 | If you see something... and ruined those countries and it's all because of those Muslims. |

| 1:35.4 | Ishmael, tell us how it works. |
| 1:37.0 | Sure. So I've got a couple of one-line descriptions of a story or a headline, and you guys have to tell me if it's fake news or is that real news? |
| 1:45.9 | Uh-oh. |
| 1:46.9 | Well, I have a 50% chance. |
| 1:49.2 | Just like SAT tests. |
| 1:52.3 | Okay, number one. |
