Somebody cancels at the last minute, you think ill never get anybody interesting to talk to. This guy runs a Subway Sandwich shop, i go in there and i will be like what is that smell . He would be like, bread, and then we also have the Horse Carriage over there. So whenever i walk into the building, the two odors generally come together at the door and i end up thinking i could really go for a bleep sandwich right now. But that is not the case because we have the great historian, one of my favorites, David Mccullough, will be joining us with the Wright Brothers so, yes cheers and applause what could be a better gift kicking off my final late shows, Nothing Better than talking to an historian nonfibbing writer. A great way to start the final run. But first, hard to do, but as a hardhitting news program we turn to i. S. I. S. Who has their own i. S. I. L or the worst people youve ever seen on youtube. I. S. I. S. Is the biggest threat. I. S. I. S. Is not your parents al quaida. Jon are you accusing my parents of being al quaida in that would not have gone over well at their temple. So what makes the f. B. I. Think i. S. I. S. Isnt lame like al quaida and doesnt drive an oldsmobile . The reason i. S. I. S. Surpassed al quaida as a danger to the u. S. Is because it has mastered twitter and other social media. The i. S. I. L tweeters in syria have 21,000 english language followers. Ooh 21,000 guess what . Pink berry has 49,000. My guess, out of the 21,000 most is followback monday from deejays. If you want to talk with them, theyre right there on line for you to communicate with. Jon terrorists have Online Support i dont know if they surpassed al quaida but theyre beating the bleep out of time warner boom wow cheers and applause that had to hurt. laughter so what are we doing to fight back against i. S. I. Ls technical supremacy . Perhaps a virus, wipe out computers hijack social media accounts, some kind of targeted electromagnet pulsing . These leaflets dropped by the u. S. , the message freedom will rise a not so subtle warning to i. S. I. S. Watch out. Jon are you bleep kidding me . Leaflets . Leaflets . laughter that is our newest communication weapon in the greatest war of the 21st century, dropped leaflets, floating paper. laughter i. S. I. S. , dominating social media well, lets just see if cranking up the old mimeograph can take care of that every turn of the handle is oh, im sorry. Were out of, ink and im tired and, turns out, nobody reads leaflets. Well, i guess youre not my parents al quaida. So America Armed with ditto machines is up against a group that is disrupting the whole concept of disruption they put out a generalized message, its the month of ramadan, if you see an infidel or qufar where you are, take an opportunity to kill them. Good luck with that. I. S. I. S. Boys are going into operation from bottom up, what i call crowd source jihad. Jon interesting. I. S. I. S. Doesnt carry out actual jihad themselves they put independent contractor together with terror victims, a terror uber if you will. laughter 12 minutes to a car bomb . Ill just walk. But who has time cheers and applause im just going to leave now. Im just going to leave now. Thats what im going to do. Im going to wait for a good high note and just bleep bolt. I want to go out on a high note. Of course i. S. I. S. Claims to be doing all these things. But what does the average joe sixpacks are forbidden think . There are people in mosul who say they are better off under the Islamic State and they have suffered at the hands of the iraq shiite government. Instead of anarchy, they have now law and order. Jon let me get this straight sunni people in iraq are accepting a brutally repressive murderous medieval talibanlike state because its better than the government we left them with . laughter guess what the gated terrorist community here is about to comeatumbling down. Turkey steps up its fight against i. S. I. S. Boom i was under the impression they already had since theyre next door neighbor. Youre saying they jumped up from step up to status all the way to step up revolution, not even bothering to stop at step up 3d, though the laser guns would come in handy has turkey jumps to the maximum or allin level. So what does turkey stepping up entail. In syria turkish warplanes bombed i. S. I. S. For the first time. In what is called a game changer turkey gave her mission to use a base in that country to crair out aer airstrikes against i. S. I. S. The involvement of turkey is a game changer. Jon oh bleep we just changed the game you thought we were playing risk i. S. I. S. but were not were playing like settlers of cata. That strategy board game was brought to you by nerd. They like to have fun. cheers and applause and now and now you know. Tell us about the Game Changing airstrikes turkey is launching. So far they have been against the pro american kurds. So theyre stepping up the fight against i. S. I. S. By taking out the people most effectively fighting out i. S. I. S. Brilliant strategy. Certainly no one will see that coming. The turks see the kurds as separatists and terrorists. The u. S. View the kurds as its effective fighters. Its a very delicate dance for the united states. Jon much like when Elizabeth Bennett attended the netherfield ball hoping to dance with wickham only to find out dorothy scared him away requiring her to spend entirely too much time pairing off with mr. Collins and everyone pulled out a knife and decapitated each other laughter spoiler alert so turkey is helping us in the fight against i. S. I. S. By bombing our allies in the fight against i. S. I. S. No matter what happens, the kurds ultimately get bleep . Well be right all the goodness of milk. All the deliciousness of hersheys syrup. Squeeze. Stir. Share.

Jon what . This president s Foreign Policy is the most feckless in american history. Hes so naive, he would trust the iranians and take the israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven. audience reacts laughter he would take the israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven.

This steps over the line. Jon whoo. Ha ha do you stand by your comments . Absolutely i do. Three times i have been to auschwitz. When i talked about the oven door, i have stood at that oven door.

Thank you for being here. Short notice. Im an enormous fan of yours. Book is called the Wright Brothers. They are american icons that we have an almost twodimensional cartoonish knowledge of like from Howard Johnsons place mats and dixie cups, you know. Nobody really explores the reality of the Wright Brothers. Well, youre absolutely right, and i knew next to nothing when i first came across them. I knew that they were a couple of bicycle mechanics from ohio invented the airplane which came to probably ten minutes in high school in history class. But, in fact, they were intimately more than that and more interesting as human beings, and brave beyond almost anyone ive ever known much about, and they would not give up, and they never let fairly failure get them down, and they were determined to succeed, and they did it on their own entirely. They had no Foundation Behind them. They had no university backing. They had no angel. Jon this was no project x. Yeah, certainly wasnt. They had no backer. They did it all with their own money, on their own steam, on their own initiative, in their own free time. They had very little in the way of income. Samuel langley, then the head of the smithsonian, built an enormous public built at enormous public expense, by the standards of the time a flying machine which he called aero drome and it cost, altogether, about 70,000, which was a lot of money then. Jon sure. And it took off from the top of a house boat on the shores of the potomac river, flew up about 60 into the air and dove right into the water. laughter their flying machine which they flew at kitty hawk north carolina, in the midst of the winter of 1903, everything included from going back and forth to dayton, ohio, to kitty hawk, north carolina, less than 1,000. So there was very little that they couldnt make with their own hand. Jon and yet, even though they made it, no one really cared except in france. They ignored it. Jon yeah. Our government ignored it. Jon everybody ignored it. New york times, chicago tribune, even one of their papers. Somebody wrote and said, how come you never wrote about it . It happened under your noses. He said, i guess we were just plain stupid. Jon that was the biline of the newspaper laughter were just plain stupid. So cognizant of the danger that they only would fly solo so that the other would be there to carry on the work in case they were killed. Exactly. It wasnt until 1909 no, 1910 jon i was going to correct you laughter i need a lot of that. Jon all right. In front of a public demonstration, an air show they put on at air testing ground which was a cow pasture outside of dayton, that they went up together, and what they were saying to anybody who knew them was, weve done it. Were allowed to go. And the only member of the family that hadnt been up was their father. The minister. He was 82 years old. Nobody that age had ever gone up in an airplane to say the least. So orville took him up and they took off in this big crowd of neighbors. He was sitting on the plane, no seat belts jon first class or coach . laughter he kept saying, higher orville, higher. That was the spirit of the family. Jon i built an airplane what do you mean, higher laughter one of my favorite lines is wilbur was asked about do you have any advice for people who want to succeed in life . He said, yes, pick out a good mother and father and grow up in ohio. laughter applause jon thats wonderful thank you for joining us i truly appreciate it the Wright Brothers cheers and a if you cant stand the heat, get off the test track.
