My cohost and digital producer is bringing in all of your feedback throughout the show. So waj, the Group Formerly known as isis, now known as the Islamic State group, it can be confusing. One of our goals is to give people a baseline about this group. They have been doing a good job promoting their own brand name. Savvy with social media as we found out. Mohammed who we assume from his twitter profile is a supporter of Islamic State group tweets saying five names. Wake up my brother in this blessed month of ramadum. There are thousands 1350id on. You are a target, too. They use the hash tag which is arabic for the Islamic State. Maybe i should be scared i am beingtrolled by members of the Islamic State group. Guests will better answer it after ni 9 years and 1. 7 trilln in rack, there is no doubt, there is a attack in the crisis escalating there. You might not know that the group that calls itself the Islamic State formerly known as isis hasnt only been making way in key iraqi citizen
And the stars have been told no red carpet selfies this year. Welcome to the program. Theres confusion in burundi with conflicting claims as to whether the president has been forced from power. Word of an l edged coup first came in a radio broadcast when this man announced the president had violated the constitution by seeking a third term and that his mandate was over. But that claim was denied by the president s twitter account. Pierre nkurunziza was in tanzania for a peace conference, but announced that he was flying home urgently. The coup leader has ordered the closure of the airport and land borders. The claims of a coup were greeted by celebrations on the streets of the capitol. Malcolm webb is there.

Mr. Chairman, let me start with a few general comments. As i think you indicated in your remarks and i think that all of us have underscored the region as a whole has a great importance and a lot to offer in terms of security and u. S. Interests.

I was surprised. I had no idea hed been through so much, and i was also surprised to find out as much as i have about the black cats in general.

Everything from rescues to just becoming this stealth aircraft that nobody had seen the likes of before. One of the first to use radar, or for instance. One of the first to have an altimeter so they could fly low over the water and be virtually invisible. Fascinating stuff, and i didnt know any of that.
