A congressional hearing revealed that the FBI dropped an outstanding arrest warrant for Anwar al-Awlaki in 2002, allowing him to remain free before he was eventually killed in a U.S. drone strike. The hosts discuss the implications of the government killing an American citizen without trial. They suggest that al-Awlaki may have been a double agent or part of a staged extraction.

The hosts critique the application of the ESTA system to American citizens, which they argue should only apply to foreign visitors. One host describes a one-hour delay at check-in caused by address mismatches in the computer system, suggesting the process serves as a form of harassment for travelers despite holding valid U.S. passports.

The CIA has reportedly placed Anwar al-Awlaki, a Muslim cleric born in New Mexico, on a target list for drone strikes. This marks the first time a U.S. citizen has been officially targeted for assassination by the agency. The hosts mock the idea that "lawyers vet the killing" to ensure it is legally acceptable to execute a citizen without trial.
