CNN is criticized for promoting "new" video that merely shows Tsarnaev shopping at a Whole Foods in Cambridge after the explosion. The media's role in dramatizing the prosecution's timeline is examined.

During a Senate hearing, a DHS official claimed that grant-funded infrared cameras were essential in capturing the Boston Marathon bomber. However, Senator Tom Coburn corrected the record, noting that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was actually found by a local resident who noticed a loose tarp on his boat and called 911.

Williams points out the contradictions in the police report regarding the shootout in the boat, noting that the suspect was unarmed despite the massive amount of gunfire directed at him.

Adam Curry disputes this, noting that the 2010 "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" article does not mention pressure cookers or fireworks. The hosts suggest the government is attempting to link "lone wolf" actors to international terror groups to justify domestic surveillance.

The defense claims the FBI contacted Tamerlan multiple times before the bombing and that he may have been involved in a 2011 triple murder in Waltham. The hosts suggest the bombing may have been a "six-week cycle" operation gone wrong, pointing to evidence of friendly fire involving Officer Dick Donahue.

The hosts point out the hypocrisy of liberal officials who oppose the death penalty in principle but support it in this case. They also question why the FBI has never released the specific video footage showing the Tsarnaev brothers placing the backpacks at the marathon finish line.

The hosts reference the FBI's fatal shooting of Tsarnaev's associate, Ibragim Todashev, in Florida as evidence that the authorities are silencing witnesses. They suggest the entire "manhunt" was a theatrical exercise.

Zohar (Dzhokhar) Tsarnaev is discussed, which allows for the destruction of discovery materials after they are viewed by the defense. This secrecy is linked to a theory that the Boston bombing was an FBI operation that went off-cycle, leading to a current reorganization within the bureau.

He explains that real snipers do not use visible lasers because they reveal the shooter's position and do not account for the ballistic arc of a bullet over long distances.

The hosts question the authenticity of the photos, noting the absence of a reported neck wound and the "Hollywood-style" appearance of a sniper's laser dot on Tsarnaev's forehead. Murphy was suspended for one day for the unauthorized release.

The hosts argue this is a form of psychological programming designed to make the public believe that "any kid next door" could be a terrorist. They suggest the aesthetic choice creates cognitive dissonance, furthering a climate of suspicion toward ordinary citizens.

Comparisons are drawn between the lack of cameras in the Tsarnaev proceedings and the 24/7 media coverage of the George Zimmerman trial. The discussion posits that the absence of photographic evidence in the 21st century fuels conspiracy theories regarding the identity of the defendant.
