Ray riffs on a headline about Obama's alleged porn stash, pivots to Bin Laden's actual reported porn collection and Russian stabbing video games, arguing that terrorist leaders like Bin Laden never truly martyr themselves the way Jesus or William Wallace did, and that fear of war is overstated for business reasons.
