Speaker 1 (00:00):
A's a Thursday, January second, only eighteen more days until we.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Have a real president in the White House. Happy New Year, everybody,
And I would suggest that it's time for you goobers
to get off your asses and we need some new
rules of engagement. Not that I don't like the old
rules of engagement. I do like them.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, that one that was just played probably can't be
played next month.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It won't make as me.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now you're right, yeah, that you're right. That one will
go away, well happen actually goes away January twentieth or
the twenty first, right, yeah, because we'll be on air
before the So your job, not whether you choose to
accept it or not, but your job is to give
us some new rules of engagement. We need some new
(00:49):
ones for the rotation. So let's just get clear that
I'm back and I need you to get back and
get back in the game. So get back in the game.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And please be more concise than Michael has with the
rules of engagement roughly about a minute.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Sixty seconds or less. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And did I
tell you that last week or not last week? But
prior to going on vacation, did I actually the cheaching
Chong one. Yes, I actually met the chieching Chong guy.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, awesome, Yeah one guy or two one one guy.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Both voices. Right, it's hilarious and it just I was
in a meeting and it just casually came up. By
the way, you I'm the Cheech and Chong rules of
engagement here.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
What that's awesome?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah? Yeah. Uh. Before we get to the story of
the day, which obviously is the terror attacked in New Orleans,
I didn't think about this until today when I realized
coming in, well I didn't realize, but for a split second,
I thought I saw a drone. Just a split second,
(02:00):
I know that's that's a word that you haven't heard
in years, d r O n E. Drone?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
What's a drone?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Of what? I know?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Where did the story go? So I'm driving on four
to seventy coming in, and of course it's dark and
I haven't driven, you know, I haven't you know, I've
been sleeping in late and haven't been paying attention. And
so I'm driving in and I see a uh, intermittent
red light go across the highway and I think that's
a freaking drone, And then I think drone, and then
(02:31):
of course, when I get closer, I realize that it's
actually the tail light that is blinking on a bridge
crossing four seventy. That's just you know, slowly going across
the bridge for some reason.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You aren't driving in one of those places where it
says speed checked by aircraft. Oh yeah, I mean it
could you know, it could be one of those I mean,
they could do.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That, right, could be.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But what happened to drones. It just disappeared.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Who cares? There's something else in the you in the news.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well exactly that. But but I so here's what I
think about drones. Bear with me. Don't jump to any conclusions,
because I can't say everything at once. It takes you know,
you you have to string words together to make sentences,
and you can't put the entire subject matter into one sentence.
(03:25):
You have to build up. So don't just assume that
when I start out with this that this is what
I believe. I want to tell you all the options.
The first thing that I consider as a possibility mass
formation psychosis. That a few people saw some drones and
they told their friends about it, and then some friends
(03:47):
who had some drones whose friends had told them about
the drones put they're drones in the air to see
if they can see the drones, and then it builds up,
and of course somebody reports it to the local news.
Local news picks it up, and then somebody on the
wire services picks us up. And then suddenly we got
drones everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Think of the tide pods stories.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Exactly tied, you know, swallowing tide pods. I still don't
get that one. And so it blows into a story
that is just a bunch of bull crap, and it
truly is. And I know it's isolated. I know we
had a few sightings maybe out in California, may have
been a siding in Colorado that may have been a
(04:25):
siding somewhere, but there was not this cluster. There was
a cluster in the in the Tri state area New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut of that part that part of the
country where there's all sorts of things in the air.
I mean, the NYPD has has drones in the air,
the Port Authority has drones in the air. Amateurs have
drones in the air, the FBI probably has drones in
(04:45):
the air. Ices probably has drones in the air. Alkaider
probably has drones in the air because it's New York,
New York, so drones everywhere, and then suddenly it just
disappears and nobody talks about anymore. So I think mass
formation psychosis. The other thing that I believe, this is
(05:06):
why I tell you not to jump to conclusions, is
that I believe that indeed, there may have been some
sort of testing of either new drone capabilities and they
wanted to see how much they could and then the
operators start having some fun because well, they're testing, and
(05:27):
when you're testing something, you think about Chuck Yeger. Chuck
Yeger gets in a fighter in a rocket ship and
decides he's going to test it to its limits. So
he does everything he possibly can while the ground crew
is yelling stop it, you know, don't do that, don't
do that. Well, he's like, I'm a freaking test pilot.
I'm gonna see what I can do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It's not like they've ever drawn penises in their flight
paths before.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, that that kind of thing doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And if you've ever known, which I have, and maybe
you have to known a fighter pilot, they are their
top guns. They're they're crazy ass people and so maybe
they you know, So they got their drones and they're
testing their new drone capabilities and somebody says, hey, Joe,
see if it'll do this, and Joe says, that's pretty cool.
(06:15):
Let me see if I can get it to do that.
And so they get it to do something weird, and
somebody sees them doing it, see sees them doing Hey,
let's see how close we can get to Bedminster. Let's
see how close we can get to picking any the
airbase or whatever it is. But let's see how close
we can get to that without, you know, before they
you know, maybe maybe they'll scramble some jests. Let's let's
try it and see. No, you think we should do that? No, no,
And they keep talking about it, and pretty soon they're
(06:37):
trying it so and then somebody sees that, and then
now somebody says, oh, ny, I get to see what's
up there. So then people start putting their drones up.
And then do you think do you honestly think that
based on the Wall Street Journal reporting over the week,
the week the holiday about Biden really being out of
(06:57):
it almost from day one and the staff and the
Obama staff running everything, do you think they really told him.
So when he came out and said, you know, well,
we're looking into it. Can you think he knew what
he was saying. No, he had no clue what he
was saying. So he had all of that going on
at the same time. And so it could have really
been something the government was doing. Maybe it wasn't necessarily nefarious.
(07:19):
Maybe it was they had some new drone technology they
wanted to see if they you know, does it work,
does it not work, Let's see what it does. And
so they're out trying to see what it does, and
that gets somebody else stirred up, and then I don't know,
maybe somebody told somebody from you know, MSNBC, or they
told Fox, they told somebody. Don't say anything, but yeah,
(07:41):
it was us, and we just had some new tech
that North Grumman put together or Lockheed Martin put together,
and we were just up testing him and try them
to see how they went. And now we're done. And
so now we're gonna go back to Area fifty one
and try them over there where nobody can see them,
or we're going to take him out to San Bernardino
(08:01):
and fly mount in San Bernardina. May take him to Lowry,
Fly Mountain, Lowry, see what happens at Lowry. So you know,
I just find it fascinating that we we get all
wrapped up about this stuff and then it goes away.
Then we have an attack in New Orleans and we
(08:23):
have a cyber truck that blows up outside Trump one
of the Trump hotels in Vegas. Now, I don't know,
and I've not yet read enough about the cyber truck
to know whether that might be terror related or not.
But don't you find it fascinating that? And by the way,
(08:45):
Elon Musk was quoted in let me see if I
can find somewhere I read that Musk said that a
cyber truck is not necessarily the best one to use
because of its structure and it's it Is it aluminum?
(09:11):
Is it steel? What are the super things made at US?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They were touting the fact that you could throw like
steel balls at the windows and they don't even crack
or break, so you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Know it's supposed to be super strong.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, So you know, uh, let me see find I
can't find the quote. But when you think about Musk
and Trump's relationship and how Democrats don't like that I'm
saying Democrats are engaged in terrorists. I'm just saying democrats
don't like the Musk Trump relationship. Then you have the
(09:44):
cyber truck, which is ugly as hell, and they'll all
be blown up anyway. But then you have the cyber truck. Oh,
and it just happens to blow up outside a Trump
branded hotel. I don't know whether he owns that particular hotel.
He just licenses the name to the hotel. I don't know.
Quite Frankly, I don't care. But it does make you
(10:06):
think that, hmm, except that it had to be a
suicide bomber. Now, the link that the FBI is looking
into is that both vehicles used in Nolans and the
one used in Vegas were rented on the turo app,
to which I say, so, thousands of vehicles are rented
(10:30):
every day on the Turo app that aren't involved in anything.
So just because to happen to be coincidence, probably so,
But nonetheless I'd look into that too. Now let's go
to Orleans for a minute. The fact he's an American
citizen doesn't mean squat. I don't know why. I've talked
(10:56):
for years on this program. About water known as clean skins.
A clean skin is a could be foreign born, could
be US born. In this case, the eye happens to
have a Middle Eastern name, and he is of Middle
Eastern descent, and he and he is he served in Afghanistan.
(11:21):
Wonder when he got radicalized and he comes back and
he drives. Now, who would have ever thought about this?
I'm shocked by this. Now, the car didn't drive itself,
So he drove the car. So when you read the headline,
car drives into crowd. No, a driver drove his car
(11:45):
into a crowd. Nobody ever says a gun shot up
a school. That they never talked about that. So I
don't know why we have to keep saying the car
drove into a crowd. No, the car didn't drive into
a crowd. And I don't think it was a self
driving car, which you be able to make that case.
But here's what I find fascinating. Quote from the Wall
(12:06):
Street Journal this morning. US authorities had been worried for
months about the possibility of attacks by lone wolf terrorists
or small groups of people, citing a troubling global trend
of assailants using vehicles to enact mass violence. At holiday
(12:26):
celebrations and other large gatherings. What the hell has the
FBI been doing? You have a well known, pre planned
event going on in a crime rid city. I heard
a Fox commentator note this morning that she was talking
(12:50):
to some they had some reporter down there, and she
was talking about, you know, I've stood right where you're
standing right now, you're giving your report, And I thought, sweet,
are you trying to tie yourself to the story. What's
the point? Then she got to the point, you know,
I've been in that place many times, and you always
walk around looking over your shoulder. I thought, you know,
(13:14):
if I came out and said that about New Orleans,
about you have to always walk around looking over your shoulder, oh,
I'd have been deemed or racist, and you know, all
sorts of names, and you know, I hate New Orleans
and blah blah blah. I just don't. I just don't
like New Orleans, never have, even before E streeting, I
never did like New Orleans. But this reporter says it,
and I'm thinking, Okay, so what you're really admitting is
(13:38):
you have the Sugar Bowl going on. You had New
Year's Eve and New Year's Bourbon Street, the French Quarter.
All of that part of New Orleans is just teeming
with drunks. No, no, they're not all drunks. But just
you know, I hope nobody that died was drunk. Why,
I just wish nobody had died. But it is what
(13:59):
it is. And I'm thinking, you have that kind of
an event, and you know what they did to block
the street? They put a police car. They put an
NPD cop car parked sideways blocking the blocking Bourbon Street
(14:20):
so that nobody could drive on to the street. Have
you ever seen a movie? Have you ever seen a
movie where somebody t bones a parked car. Usually the
park car goes flying off to the left of the right,
and the other car continues straight forward. Might lose a
little bit of control, a little bit, and if you're
(14:41):
getting it, if you're doing it on purpose, or you're
driving out a high rate of speed, you're going to
plow in. Now, where have we seen that occur before?
I know, it's early in the morning and it's the
first day back, and I'm trying to kind of get
the brain moving, But it just seems like maybe somewhere
in Germany. Is that a country somewhere in Germany, there
(15:05):
was they have these they they're they're wonderful things to
go to. They're Christmas festivals, and these the entire towns
will shut down and the streets are just teeming with
people and booths with decorations and gifts and food and drink.
And it seems to me that sometime in December there
(15:27):
was the exact same thing happened. So go back to
this Wall Street Journal story. US authorities have been worried
for months about the possibility of attacks by lone wolf terrafts,
in other words, clean skins, people acting on their own,
or small groups of people, citing a troubling global trend
(15:48):
of assailants using vehicles to enact mass violence at holiday
celebrations and other large gatherings. The ballards didn't work. You
know what a baller is? So balard is you see
the For a while, they just put jersey barriers, barriers
around federal buildings or to block off streets. They just
(16:09):
put the big concrete jersey barriers. Ugly as hell, but
they put them up. And now we finally figured out
that it looks awful. It makes us look like we
live in he like we live in a security state.
Which imagine that, and so now they make them into
you know, planters and stuff. But the dirt's about six
(16:29):
inches deep and they got flowers in them, and everything
else is just solid concrete and they've got rebar and
everything else that plants them in the ground. So nobody
you can't bust through. I even doubt that an APC
could bust through. But anyway, but we don't do that
in New Orleans. We don't do that. And then we're
shocked when some guy drives. Now I found it interesting
(16:51):
that he drove from Is this the guy that drove
from Eagle Pass?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Does he Springs the Springs?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Eagle Pass? Texas? Oh? I don't know. Oh I anyway,
I thought I heard somewhere that he had drove from
that he had driven from Eagle Pass up up to
New Orleans, which wouldn't surprise me because you just go.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Along that corridor, the Vegas one's the one guy from
the Springs.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Oh yeah, he ran it from color of Spring Jack. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. So try to throw everything off and then
he jumps out of the car. And when he finally
comes to a stop after having killed fifteen people, who
knows how many more going to die, and he jumps
out with what's described as an assault rifle and engages
(17:40):
in gunfire. Yeah, I think we can call this a
terrorist attack. But the bigger question is now, I don't
like this, but nonetheless I think this is what's going
to happen. We already live in a security state, because
I got a TSA story to tell you, So we
already live in a in a security state. At some point,
(18:03):
even a crime ridden, incompetent place like New Orleans is
going to have to realize that you're going to have
to secure these areas. You're going to have to for example,
around the White House, in the US Capitol and other places.
They have these steel ballards that are virtually indestructible that
come up out of the ground so that I mean
(18:25):
they're round, they're solid, and they go down into the
ground so that the beast or what the limo or
whatever traffic can travel through and then they can come
back up. How soon before this country turns into an
entirely locked down country and the security state, which is
(18:51):
fairly well hidden right now, becomes very visible to the eye,
where just even people who aren't aware they're surroundings start
to realize, oh, we live in a security state.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Who is this idiot on my radio? And where's the
guy that's been sitting in for the gang.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Well, the idiot is back. I don't know why, but
the idiot is back. The idiot and a sidekick idiot juju.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, the little light turned green when I swipe my
bad so, hey, what the sad part is?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Dragon? I actually thought about that when I walked in
this morning.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Not kidding, said, oh, it's green, all right, I guess
I'll go in.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I walk up to the door because I've got I've
got it in my folio with my phone, and I
put my phone up to the to the thing. And
the minute I start to move it toward my phone
toward the little censor, I think.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I wonder if it'll work, What if this will work?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah? Hey, what'd you look at that? And then I thought, now,
they'll wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
At the end of the morning at ten oh two.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Right, ten oh two, bull come in and thank you. Can
we have your badge please? And I'll say, sure, here
you go, here you go. So the bottom line is
you don't need to go to Europe to see all
the exciting carnage that all of these immigrants from Muslim
countries employ to enrich the multi culturalism of this country.
(20:22):
You can do it right here. Yes, So all the
thrills that get associated with the with the German Christmas markets,
you can go right down to New Orleans and have
it down there. The suspect that's accused of mowing down
that crowd in those revelers on Bourbon Street, sham sud
(20:44):
Den Jabbar Jabar jabbar uh. Please shot and kill him
after he crashed his pickup truck and be nshooted officers. Well,
I found that paragraph interesting because they shot and killed
him after he crashed his pickup truck. You mean, after
he mowed down a bunch of people and crashed his
pickup truck. That seems to me to be a salient
(21:06):
fact you'd want to put in the news story, but
they don't. I just, honestly, here's pretty much what I
did over the holidays. I skimmed the news. Starting yesterday,
I went back to actually reading the news, and so
now I'm starting to pick it apart again. This is
the paragraph police shot and killed him after he crashed
(21:30):
his pickup truck and began to shoot at officers. Don't
you think there's a little more that could have been
put in that sentence, like police shot and killed him
after he ran over and killed so far at least
(21:50):
fifteen people and then began to shoot at officers. It
seems to be to me to be a fairly important point.
Too bad for well, that was Jaba, job of the hut,
this is Jabber. I don't get job of the hut
and job are confused. Now, no doubt had the cops
(22:11):
not killed him, the Biden administration, if you haven't heard
this story, probably would have helped him work out a
nice plea deal like they have with a clique shaik
Muhammed KSM. Yes, KSM. They worked out a plea deal,
which I don't know why they were doing. He had
the death penalty. They worked out a plea deal, and
(22:31):
then Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, tried to renig on
the plea deal and not go through with it, and
the court overruled him and said, no, you made the deal.
Now you're stuck with it now. In addition to a
chest full of explosives, Jabbar had a glock handgun, a
three oh eight equipped with optics and a sensor they
(22:54):
got that and they had an ISIS flag.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I think you put all of that into the pot
and kind of stir it up. You probably have h
You've got some yees, some terrorism going on. Now. Fox
News has learned that the truck had a Texas license
plate and that it is that is the one that
was tracked crossing the southern border into the United States
(23:19):
at Eagle Pass in November. Now, the person who crossed
the border with the vehicle, I can't find anywhere that
they believe that that is the same person as the attacker.
So there obviously are more people involved, or maybe this
guy stole the vehicle. I don't pick up truck. I
don't know, but obviously I think it appears that Jobird
(23:43):
did not act alone as for security under historically uh
DEI identity box checking Democrat Mayor LaToya Cantrell. You know,
I thought that mayor, How in the hell can I
(24:06):
forget that? Nagan Ray Nagan, I thought he was a dufus,
this current mayor of New Orleans. Holy crap. The metal
barricades were left down. They used a cop car. A
witness has come forward and says that the hydraulic metal
(24:28):
barriers were down during the attack, so apparently on Bourbon Street,
since I don't know when they actually have put the
hydraulic ballards in place, and they weren't there. Here's hown
was reporting the story as of last night. Well, dragon
(24:51):
were off to a good start.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Did you forget that? Like, oh, my se.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
This is called the mail end goes into the female end.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We had to talk. Yeah, there you go, man, I'll
tell you what rusty.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, I mean she was an older Hispanic woman, probably
in her mid thirties, had a wedding ring on her finger.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
We were that close.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I just didn't know if there were kids or you
know anything any kids around three in the morning.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I mean no small children.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
No small children, I mean none in our area.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Right. Did you see when you were looking down from
the balcony, did you see the truck? Did you see
the suspect?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's how I had been going.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
That's that's why I was selling other news sources like
we have these hydraulic steel barriers from past events. Last
Marti girl, this happened to an extent, maybe not terrorism,
but still people getting hit in mass population with the vehicles.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Those barricades were not on.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We've had this happen in the past, you know, during
Marti Gras or something. We got people that are drunk,
they're driving, they turn down, they make a right turn
onto Bourbon Street and the barricades, the ballards are not
up and people end up getting hit. Has this guy said,
is this witness says, maybe it wasn't a terrorist attack,
but I mean, my god, how incompetent can you be?
(26:22):
We just saw what happened in Germany, and now you
have thousands crowding in for New Year's and for the
Sugar Bowl, and you put a cop car incompetent period.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They had the flimsy orange ones that you could just
push over with your finger.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
We actually thought it was.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Kinda odd because usually when you get to Bourbon Street
you can turn your back to Canal and not worry
about anything.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You can just walk the street, especially on.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
New Year's and there was still vehicles coming after eight pm.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And then I mean the fact that they never raised them.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's how this guy was able to get down Bourbon
Streets so quickly and cause so much damage. Because there's
other barricades past the Canal and Bourbon intersection. There's more
like every two three blocks.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
So what was this canter?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Fifteen dead and thirty wound? Dude could have only been
maybe five and fifteen.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I mean, who can.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Say, but it definitely would have been minimalized because this
truck cannot go around those barricades. Everything in New Orleans,
in the French Quarter has a balcony. All the balconies
have pull several steel pos and there's there's no going
around anything. If that barricade's up, that's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's your end.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
So just to be clear, you're saying that they were
just flimsy, the flimsy orange barricades that weren't weren't up.
They weren't the same barricades there as elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
No, they were.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The metal ones were absolutely not engaged, you.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Know normally and I haven't heard this yet. Yesterday we
had the FBI agent come out, the special Agent in
charge for New Orleans came out and said, oh, no,
this is not terrorism. At the same time that the
police chief, who by the way, I'll tell you about
the police chief in a minute. But she's uh, hit
pedestrians with her car too. So that place, what a
(28:32):
freaking mess that place is. Why won't you just stop
and think about how many Christmas parades you've got people
driving down We just had just what two weeks ago.
But here's my general question for you. You normally hear
the everybody crams into the into the picture because you know,
(28:53):
you got the mayor, maybe you've got the governor, you
got the police chief, you got a special agent in
charge with the FBI, you've got somebody from Homeland Security,
and they're all crowded around the microphone, and they're all
talking about how what a great coordination. Everybody's coordinating, everybody's
working together. It's a great team. We're doing wonderful. Well,
(29:13):
you know she haven't heard that, And where were they beforehand? Now,
if DHS and the FBI all know that we've got
problems with lone wolves and clean skins in this country,
we've watched for our you don't have to be an
FBI agent. Guess what you can do. You can turn
(29:35):
on your television, or you can go on to the
interwebs and you can read about the same thing happening
in Germany. Yes, so where's the coordination, where who's responding? Ultimately,
the police chief and the mayor are responsible because it's
their city and once again, their city has completely failed
to protect its citizens. Unfreaking believable to me that an
(30:00):
event which is as crazy as well, maybe not quiet,
but almost as crazy as Marty Graus. The ballards are
in the ground, and as this guy points out this witness,
they get the orange cones. You know the ones you
can tipwy He says, you know the ones you can
tip over with your fingers, And he's right. All the
hotels and bars and everything on Bourbon Street all have balconies.
(30:21):
They all have these steel poles, and they also could
act as somewhat of a barrier to at least slow down,
if not stop, a charging vehicle. None of this, none
of this was necessary. None of this had to happen.
I want you to think about something. What if DHS
(30:41):
and the FBI were just too busy trying to find
another sixteen hundred January six misdemeanings, not felons misdemeanings. Yeah,
what if they were too busy doing that to take
care of New Orleans? Think about that.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Hey, welcome back, Fellas.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I can't say I miss you, Mike, but I did
miss you Dragon. It's good to know that you're loved.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, I do too. I was like you sent me
this post from Andy No. Andy tweeted or posted. I
looked into the background of Matthew A. Livelsberger, the thirty
seven year old from Colorado Springs who drove a turo
rented Tesla and blew up at the Trump Hotel in
Vegas in a huge explosion. Livelsberger is also a US
(31:36):
Army vet excuse me, like the New Orleans Isis terror suspect.
Livelsberger's LinkedIn is no longer online, but there are ghosts
remnants of his background special Forces Intelligence sergeant, Defense Analysis
and Strategic Studies degree from Norwich University, Denver. Seven reporter
(31:56):
says Andy No Tony Coveleski is reporting that Littlesburger served
at the same military base as New Orleans Jihadis chamsu
Din Jabbar hm ties. Yeah. And then you think about
the uh someone renting the pickup truck or renting or not,
(32:20):
I'm not sure, but driving the pickup truck across the
Mexican border and renting the cyber truck in Carra Springs.
Then somebody says that guber number zero four seven seven
wrote this. This was yesterday at eight pm, Michael, after
(32:41):
listening to all the news, I'm betting the Tesla truck
was supposed to arrive in Vegas during the New Year's
celebration when streets were full of people, just like in
New Orleans. But they forgot to figure out how long
it would it take for recharging that truck along the way,
and they arrived too late. Maybe it was intended to
be set off from the crowd, but the hotel interest
(33:02):
turned out to be a late decision alternative in hopes
of causing significant damage to the building. What do you
think of my idea? I think it's as plausible as
anything else. And if that's the case, now do we
know for sure whether the guy is the guy that
rented the truck? Was he the only person in the truck?
(33:24):
Do we know that?
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I believe so, yeah, that's what I've heard.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, so maybe he was. Maybe indeed he was a
suicide bomber. Uh, well, they're both suicidal, so they're both gone.
So I think that's a very plausible excuse. And if
if the crowds are gone and it's not really worth driving,
you know, your cyber truck. I think a cyber truck
could caused some pretty significant damage on Las Vegas Boulevard.
(33:50):
You if you drive out, oh yeah, yeah, you start
driving down that street.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Those things are heavy, right, there's the battery and all
the metal that's made to make the truck.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Right, and those big ass tires they could they can
mow down a lot. So maybe he got there and
he got there late because again he had to stop
in charge all the way. So he decided that I'll
just take out the Trump Hotel because well, Donald Trump
and a tesla Trump so back to see him in.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
So, just to be clear, you're saying that they were
just flimsy, the flimsy orange barricades that weren't weren't up.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
They weren't.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Now, somebody else raised a good point. Maybe there was
no I'm not going to go down this path. I
just want to tell you what somebody told me on
the text line that maybe they had help on the
inside too. Why were those ballards not deployed? Why were
they not up? What the hell did Look? The FBI
(34:59):
are on a regular basis, sends out they're called FOUS
for official or FUOS for fous for official use only
memos that they send out to local law enforcement and
it's about things they're tracking and things that you need
(35:20):
to be aware of. I don't know for a fact,
but I would bet my kingdom that there was a
fou that went out about the German the Germany Christmas
celebration driver and the same modus operandi to be able
to look at for that, and with all the celebrations
(35:42):
going on for New Year's Eve and Christmas and everything else.
If you have large crabs like oh, I don't know,
the Sugar Bowl, maybe you want to deploy your ballards.
Maybe you want to deploy extra security. Maybe you want
to protect pedestrian streets, which, by the way, Bourbon Street
is not only a pedestrian street. Do you know they've
(36:02):
talked about making Bourbon Street a pedestrian street for decades now.
I wonder how long it'll take them back.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Now elsewhere, No, they were the metal ones were absolutely
not engaged.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Well and that structure at the time, right because there
was that twenty seventeen incident with Marti Gras where a
drunk driver drove through. And so from what my understanding is,
they increased security measures in that.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
They did they put a cop car sideways at the
corner of Canal in Bourbon. Yeah, that's what they did. BFD,
just a big BFD. If you have any confidence at
all left in Homeland Security and or the FBI, you're
(36:55):
not paying any attention now. I would never assumed that
you had any confidence that all in the NPD or
the governing administration of New Orleans. They've been incompetent, corrupt
for decades, so I don't expect that. I do expect
it out of the FBI and Homeland Security, but it's
(37:16):
non existent.
A's a Thursday, January second, only eighteen more days until we.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Have a real president in the White House. Happy New Year, everybody,
And I would suggest that it's time for you goobers
to get off your asses and we need some new
rules of engagement. Not that I don't like the old
rules of engagement. I do like them.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, that one that was just played probably can't be
played next month.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It won't make as me.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now you're right, yeah, that you're right. That one will
go away, well happen actually goes away January twentieth or
the twenty first, right, yeah, because we'll be on air
before the So your job, not whether you choose to
accept it or not, but your job is to give
us some new rules of engagement. We need some new
(00:49):
ones for the rotation. So let's just get clear that
I'm back and I need you to get back and
get back in the game. So get back in the game.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And please be more concise than Michael has with the
rules of engagement roughly about a minute.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Sixty seconds or less. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And did I
tell you that last week or not last week? But
prior to going on vacation, did I actually the cheaching
Chong one. Yes, I actually met the chieching Chong guy.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, awesome, Yeah one guy or two one one guy.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Both voices. Right, it's hilarious and it just I was
in a meeting and it just casually came up. By
the way, you I'm the Cheech and Chong rules of
engagement here.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
What that's awesome?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah? Yeah. Uh. Before we get to the story of
the day, which obviously is the terror attacked in New Orleans,
I didn't think about this until today when I realized
coming in, well I didn't realize, but for a split second,
I thought I saw a drone. Just a split second,
(02:00):
I know that's that's a word that you haven't heard
in years, d r O n E. Drone?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
What's a drone?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Of what? I know?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Where did the story go? So I'm driving on four
to seventy coming in, and of course it's dark and
I haven't driven, you know, I haven't you know, I've
been sleeping in late and haven't been paying attention. And
so I'm driving in and I see a uh, intermittent
red light go across the highway and I think that's
a freaking drone, And then I think drone, and then
(02:31):
of course, when I get closer, I realize that it's
actually the tail light that is blinking on a bridge
crossing four seventy. That's just you know, slowly going across
the bridge for some reason.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You aren't driving in one of those places where it
says speed checked by aircraft. Oh yeah, I mean it
could you know, it could be one of those I mean,
they could do.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That, right, could be.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But what happened to drones. It just disappeared.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Who cares? There's something else in the you in the news.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well exactly that. But but I so here's what I
think about drones. Bear with me. Don't jump to any conclusions,
because I can't say everything at once. It takes you know,
you you have to string words together to make sentences,
and you can't put the entire subject matter into one sentence.
(03:25):
You have to build up. So don't just assume that
when I start out with this that this is what
I believe. I want to tell you all the options.
The first thing that I consider as a possibility mass
formation psychosis. That a few people saw some drones and
they told their friends about it, and then some friends
(03:47):
who had some drones whose friends had told them about
the drones put they're drones in the air to see
if they can see the drones, and then it builds up,
and of course somebody reports it to the local news.
Local news picks it up, and then somebody on the
wire services picks us up. And then suddenly we got
drones everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Think of the tide pods stories.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Exactly tied, you know, swallowing tide pods. I still don't
get that one. And so it blows into a story
that is just a bunch of bull crap, and it
truly is. And I know it's isolated. I know we
had a few sightings maybe out in California, may have
been a siding in Colorado that may have been a
(04:25):
siding somewhere, but there was not this cluster. There was
a cluster in the in the Tri state area New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut of that part that part of the
country where there's all sorts of things in the air.
I mean, the NYPD has has drones in the air,
the Port Authority has drones in the air. Amateurs have
drones in the air, the FBI probably has drones in
(04:45):
the air. Ices probably has drones in the air. Alkaider
probably has drones in the air because it's New York,
New York, so drones everywhere, and then suddenly it just
disappears and nobody talks about anymore. So I think mass
formation psychosis. The other thing that I believe, this is
(05:06):
why I tell you not to jump to conclusions, is
that I believe that indeed, there may have been some
sort of testing of either new drone capabilities and they
wanted to see how much they could and then the
operators start having some fun because well, they're testing, and
(05:27):
when you're testing something, you think about Chuck Yeger. Chuck
Yeger gets in a fighter in a rocket ship and
decides he's going to test it to its limits. So
he does everything he possibly can while the ground crew
is yelling stop it, you know, don't do that, don't
do that. Well, he's like, I'm a freaking test pilot.
I'm gonna see what I can do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It's not like they've ever drawn penises in their flight
paths before.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, that that kind of thing doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And if you've ever known, which I have, and maybe
you have to known a fighter pilot, they are their
top guns. They're they're crazy ass people and so maybe
they you know, So they got their drones and they're
testing their new drone capabilities and somebody says, hey, Joe,
see if it'll do this, and Joe says, that's pretty cool.
(06:15):
Let me see if I can get it to do that.
And so they get it to do something weird, and
somebody sees them doing it, see sees them doing Hey,
let's see how close we can get to Bedminster. Let's
see how close we can get to picking any the
airbase or whatever it is. But let's see how close
we can get to that without, you know, before they
you know, maybe maybe they'll scramble some jests. Let's let's
try it and see. No, you think we should do that? No, no,
And they keep talking about it, and pretty soon they're
(06:37):
trying it so and then somebody sees that, and then
now somebody says, oh, ny, I get to see what's
up there. So then people start putting their drones up.
And then do you think do you honestly think that
based on the Wall Street Journal reporting over the week,
the week the holiday about Biden really being out of
(06:57):
it almost from day one and the staff and the
Obama staff running everything, do you think they really told him.
So when he came out and said, you know, well,
we're looking into it. Can you think he knew what
he was saying. No, he had no clue what he
was saying. So he had all of that going on
at the same time. And so it could have really
been something the government was doing. Maybe it wasn't necessarily nefarious.
(07:19):
Maybe it was they had some new drone technology they
wanted to see if they you know, does it work,
does it not work, Let's see what it does. And
so they're out trying to see what it does, and
that gets somebody else stirred up, and then I don't know,
maybe somebody told somebody from you know, MSNBC, or they
told Fox, they told somebody. Don't say anything, but yeah,
(07:41):
it was us, and we just had some new tech
that North Grumman put together or Lockheed Martin put together,
and we were just up testing him and try them
to see how they went. And now we're done. And
so now we're gonna go back to Area fifty one
and try them over there where nobody can see them,
or we're going to take him out to San Bernardino
(08:01):
and fly mount in San Bernardina. May take him to Lowry,
Fly Mountain, Lowry, see what happens at Lowry. So you know,
I just find it fascinating that we we get all
wrapped up about this stuff and then it goes away.
Then we have an attack in New Orleans and we
(08:23):
have a cyber truck that blows up outside Trump one
of the Trump hotels in Vegas. Now, I don't know,
and I've not yet read enough about the cyber truck
to know whether that might be terror related or not.
But don't you find it fascinating that? And by the way,
(08:45):
Elon Musk was quoted in let me see if I
can find somewhere I read that Musk said that a
cyber truck is not necessarily the best one to use
because of its structure and it's it Is it aluminum?
(09:11):
Is it steel? What are the super things made at US?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They were touting the fact that you could throw like
steel balls at the windows and they don't even crack
or break, so you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Know it's supposed to be super strong.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, So you know, uh, let me see find I
can't find the quote. But when you think about Musk
and Trump's relationship and how Democrats don't like that I'm
saying Democrats are engaged in terrorists. I'm just saying democrats
don't like the Musk Trump relationship. Then you have the
(09:44):
cyber truck, which is ugly as hell, and they'll all
be blown up anyway. But then you have the cyber truck. Oh,
and it just happens to blow up outside a Trump
branded hotel. I don't know whether he owns that particular hotel.
He just licenses the name to the hotel. I don't know.
Quite Frankly, I don't care. But it does make you
(10:06):
think that, hmm, except that it had to be a
suicide bomber. Now, the link that the FBI is looking
into is that both vehicles used in Nolans and the
one used in Vegas were rented on the turo app,
to which I say, so, thousands of vehicles are rented
(10:30):
every day on the Turo app that aren't involved in anything.
So just because to happen to be coincidence, probably so,
But nonetheless I'd look into that too. Now let's go
to Orleans for a minute. The fact he's an American
citizen doesn't mean squat. I don't know why. I've talked
(10:56):
for years on this program. About water known as clean skins.
A clean skin is a could be foreign born, could
be US born. In this case, the eye happens to
have a Middle Eastern name, and he is of Middle
Eastern descent, and he and he is he served in Afghanistan.
(11:21):
Wonder when he got radicalized and he comes back and
he drives. Now, who would have ever thought about this?
I'm shocked by this. Now, the car didn't drive itself,
So he drove the car. So when you read the headline,
car drives into crowd. No, a driver drove his car
(11:45):
into a crowd. Nobody ever says a gun shot up
a school. That they never talked about that. So I
don't know why we have to keep saying the car
drove into a crowd. No, the car didn't drive into
a crowd. And I don't think it was a self
driving car, which you be able to make that case.
But here's what I find fascinating. Quote from the Wall
(12:06):
Street Journal this morning. US authorities had been worried for
months about the possibility of attacks by lone wolf terrorists
or small groups of people, citing a troubling global trend
of assailants using vehicles to enact mass violence. At holiday
(12:26):
celebrations and other large gatherings. What the hell has the
FBI been doing? You have a well known, pre planned
event going on in a crime rid city. I heard
a Fox commentator note this morning that she was talking
(12:50):
to some they had some reporter down there, and she
was talking about, you know, I've stood right where you're
standing right now, you're giving your report, And I thought, sweet,
are you trying to tie yourself to the story. What's
the point? Then she got to the point, you know,
I've been in that place many times, and you always
walk around looking over your shoulder. I thought, you know,
(13:14):
if I came out and said that about New Orleans,
about you have to always walk around looking over your shoulder, oh,
I'd have been deemed or racist, and you know, all
sorts of names, and you know, I hate New Orleans
and blah blah blah. I just don't. I just don't
like New Orleans, never have, even before E streeting, I
never did like New Orleans. But this reporter says it,
and I'm thinking, Okay, so what you're really admitting is
(13:38):
you have the Sugar Bowl going on. You had New
Year's Eve and New Year's Bourbon Street, the French Quarter.
All of that part of New Orleans is just teeming
with drunks. No, no, they're not all drunks. But just
you know, I hope nobody that died was drunk. Why,
I just wish nobody had died. But it is what
(13:59):
it is. And I'm thinking, you have that kind of
an event, and you know what they did to block
the street? They put a police car. They put an
NPD cop car parked sideways blocking the blocking Bourbon Street
(14:20):
so that nobody could drive on to the street. Have
you ever seen a movie? Have you ever seen a
movie where somebody t bones a parked car. Usually the
park car goes flying off to the left of the right,
and the other car continues straight forward. Might lose a
little bit of control, a little bit, and if you're
(14:41):
getting it, if you're doing it on purpose, or you're
driving out a high rate of speed, you're going to
plow in. Now, where have we seen that occur before?
I know, it's early in the morning and it's the
first day back, and I'm trying to kind of get
the brain moving, But it just seems like maybe somewhere
in Germany. Is that a country somewhere in Germany, there
(15:05):
was they have these they they're they're wonderful things to
go to. They're Christmas festivals, and these the entire towns
will shut down and the streets are just teeming with
people and booths with decorations and gifts and food and drink.
And it seems to me that sometime in December there
(15:27):
was the exact same thing happened. So go back to
this Wall Street Journal story. US authorities have been worried
for months about the possibility of attacks by lone wolf terrafts,
in other words, clean skins, people acting on their own,
or small groups of people, citing a troubling global trend
(15:48):
of assailants using vehicles to enact mass violence at holiday
celebrations and other large gatherings. The ballards didn't work. You
know what a baller is? So balard is you see
the For a while, they just put jersey barriers, barriers
around federal buildings or to block off streets. They just
(16:09):
put the big concrete jersey barriers. Ugly as hell, but
they put them up. And now we finally figured out
that it looks awful. It makes us look like we
live in he like we live in a security state.
Which imagine that, and so now they make them into
you know, planters and stuff. But the dirt's about six
(16:29):
inches deep and they got flowers in them, and everything
else is just solid concrete and they've got rebar and
everything else that plants them in the ground. So nobody
you can't bust through. I even doubt that an APC
could bust through. But anyway, but we don't do that
in New Orleans. We don't do that. And then we're
shocked when some guy drives. Now I found it interesting
(16:51):
that he drove from Is this the guy that drove
from Eagle Pass?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Does he Springs the Springs?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Eagle Pass? Texas? Oh? I don't know. Oh I anyway,
I thought I heard somewhere that he had drove from
that he had driven from Eagle Pass up up to
New Orleans, which wouldn't surprise me because you just go.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Along that corridor, the Vegas one's the one guy from
the Springs.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Oh yeah, he ran it from color of Spring Jack. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. So try to throw everything off and then
he jumps out of the car. And when he finally
comes to a stop after having killed fifteen people, who
knows how many more going to die, and he jumps
out with what's described as an assault rifle and engages
(17:40):
in gunfire. Yeah, I think we can call this a
terrorist attack. But the bigger question is now, I don't
like this, but nonetheless I think this is what's going
to happen. We already live in a security state, because
I got a TSA story to tell you, So we
already live in a in a security state. At some point,
(18:03):
even a crime ridden, incompetent place like New Orleans is
going to have to realize that you're going to have
to secure these areas. You're going to have to for example,
around the White House, in the US Capitol and other places.
They have these steel ballards that are virtually indestructible that
come up out of the ground so that I mean
(18:25):
they're round, they're solid, and they go down into the
ground so that the beast or what the limo or
whatever traffic can travel through and then they can come
back up. How soon before this country turns into an
entirely locked down country and the security state, which is
(18:51):
fairly well hidden right now, becomes very visible to the eye,
where just even people who aren't aware they're surroundings start
to realize, oh, we live in a security state.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Who is this idiot on my radio? And where's the
guy that's been sitting in for the gang.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Well, the idiot is back. I don't know why, but
the idiot is back. The idiot and a sidekick idiot juju.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, the little light turned green when I swipe my
bad so, hey, what the sad part is?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Dragon? I actually thought about that when I walked in
this morning.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Not kidding, said, oh, it's green, all right, I guess
I'll go in.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I walk up to the door because I've got I've
got it in my folio with my phone, and I
put my phone up to the to the thing. And
the minute I start to move it toward my phone
toward the little censor, I think.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I wonder if it'll work, What if this will work?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah? Hey, what'd you look at that? And then I thought, now,
they'll wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
At the end of the morning at ten oh two.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Right, ten oh two, bull come in and thank you. Can
we have your badge please? And I'll say, sure, here
you go, here you go. So the bottom line is
you don't need to go to Europe to see all
the exciting carnage that all of these immigrants from Muslim
countries employ to enrich the multi culturalism of this country.
(20:22):
You can do it right here. Yes, So all the
thrills that get associated with the with the German Christmas markets,
you can go right down to New Orleans and have
it down there. The suspect that's accused of mowing down
that crowd in those revelers on Bourbon Street, sham sud
(20:44):
Den Jabbar Jabar jabbar uh. Please shot and kill him
after he crashed his pickup truck and be nshooted officers. Well,
I found that paragraph interesting because they shot and killed
him after he crashed his pickup truck. You mean, after
he mowed down a bunch of people and crashed his
pickup truck. That seems to me to be a salient
(21:06):
fact you'd want to put in the news story, but
they don't. I just, honestly, here's pretty much what I
did over the holidays. I skimmed the news. Starting yesterday,
I went back to actually reading the news, and so
now I'm starting to pick it apart again. This is
the paragraph police shot and killed him after he crashed
(21:30):
his pickup truck and began to shoot at officers. Don't
you think there's a little more that could have been
put in that sentence, like police shot and killed him
after he ran over and killed so far at least
(21:50):
fifteen people and then began to shoot at officers. It
seems to be to me to be a fairly important point.
Too bad for well, that was Jaba, job of the hut,
this is Jabber. I don't get job of the hut
and job are confused. Now, no doubt had the cops
(22:11):
not killed him, the Biden administration, if you haven't heard
this story, probably would have helped him work out a
nice plea deal like they have with a clique shaik
Muhammed KSM. Yes, KSM. They worked out a plea deal,
which I don't know why they were doing. He had
the death penalty. They worked out a plea deal, and
(22:31):
then Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, tried to renig on
the plea deal and not go through with it, and
the court overruled him and said, no, you made the deal.
Now you're stuck with it now. In addition to a
chest full of explosives, Jabbar had a glock handgun, a
three oh eight equipped with optics and a sensor they
(22:54):
got that and they had an ISIS flag.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I think you put all of that into the pot
and kind of stir it up. You probably have h
You've got some yees, some terrorism going on. Now. Fox
News has learned that the truck had a Texas license
plate and that it is that is the one that
was tracked crossing the southern border into the United States
(23:19):
at Eagle Pass in November. Now, the person who crossed
the border with the vehicle, I can't find anywhere that
they believe that that is the same person as the attacker.
So there obviously are more people involved, or maybe this
guy stole the vehicle. I don't pick up truck. I
don't know, but obviously I think it appears that Jobird
(23:43):
did not act alone as for security under historically uh
DEI identity box checking Democrat Mayor LaToya Cantrell. You know,
I thought that mayor, How in the hell can I
(24:06):
forget that? Nagan Ray Nagan, I thought he was a dufus,
this current mayor of New Orleans. Holy crap. The metal
barricades were left down. They used a cop car. A
witness has come forward and says that the hydraulic metal
(24:28):
barriers were down during the attack, so apparently on Bourbon Street,
since I don't know when they actually have put the
hydraulic ballards in place, and they weren't there. Here's hown
was reporting the story as of last night. Well, dragon
(24:51):
were off to a good start.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Did you forget that? Like, oh, my se.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
This is called the mail end goes into the female end.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We had to talk. Yeah, there you go, man, I'll
tell you what rusty.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, I mean she was an older Hispanic woman, probably
in her mid thirties, had a wedding ring on her finger.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
We were that close.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I just didn't know if there were kids or you
know anything any kids around three in the morning.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I mean no small children.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
No small children, I mean none in our area.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Right. Did you see when you were looking down from
the balcony, did you see the truck? Did you see
the suspect?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's how I had been going.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
That's that's why I was selling other news sources like
we have these hydraulic steel barriers from past events. Last
Marti girl, this happened to an extent, maybe not terrorism,
but still people getting hit in mass population with the vehicles.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Those barricades were not on.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We've had this happen in the past, you know, during
Marti Gras or something. We got people that are drunk,
they're driving, they turn down, they make a right turn
onto Bourbon Street and the barricades, the ballards are not
up and people end up getting hit. Has this guy said,
is this witness says, maybe it wasn't a terrorist attack,
but I mean, my god, how incompetent can you be?
(26:22):
We just saw what happened in Germany, and now you
have thousands crowding in for New Year's and for the
Sugar Bowl, and you put a cop car incompetent period.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They had the flimsy orange ones that you could just
push over with your finger.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
We actually thought it was.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Kinda odd because usually when you get to Bourbon Street
you can turn your back to Canal and not worry
about anything.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You can just walk the street, especially on.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
New Year's and there was still vehicles coming after eight pm.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And then I mean the fact that they never raised them.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's how this guy was able to get down Bourbon
Streets so quickly and cause so much damage. Because there's
other barricades past the Canal and Bourbon intersection. There's more
like every two three blocks.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
So what was this canter?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Fifteen dead and thirty wound? Dude could have only been
maybe five and fifteen.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I mean, who can.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Say, but it definitely would have been minimalized because this
truck cannot go around those barricades. Everything in New Orleans,
in the French Quarter has a balcony. All the balconies
have pull several steel pos and there's there's no going
around anything. If that barricade's up, that's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's your end.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
So just to be clear, you're saying that they were
just flimsy, the flimsy orange barricades that weren't weren't up.
They weren't the same barricades there as elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
No, they were.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The metal ones were absolutely not engaged, you.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Know normally and I haven't heard this yet. Yesterday we
had the FBI agent come out, the special Agent in
charge for New Orleans came out and said, oh, no,
this is not terrorism. At the same time that the
police chief, who by the way, I'll tell you about
the police chief in a minute. But she's uh, hit
pedestrians with her car too. So that place, what a
(28:32):
freaking mess that place is. Why won't you just stop
and think about how many Christmas parades you've got people
driving down We just had just what two weeks ago.
But here's my general question for you. You normally hear
the everybody crams into the into the picture because you know,
(28:53):
you got the mayor, maybe you've got the governor, you
got the police chief, you got a special agent in
charge with the FBI, you've got somebody from Homeland Security,
and they're all crowded around the microphone, and they're all
talking about how what a great coordination. Everybody's coordinating, everybody's
working together. It's a great team. We're doing wonderful. Well,
(29:13):
you know she haven't heard that, And where were they beforehand? Now,
if DHS and the FBI all know that we've got
problems with lone wolves and clean skins in this country,
we've watched for our you don't have to be an
FBI agent. Guess what you can do. You can turn
(29:35):
on your television, or you can go on to the
interwebs and you can read about the same thing happening
in Germany. Yes, so where's the coordination, where who's responding? Ultimately,
the police chief and the mayor are responsible because it's
their city and once again, their city has completely failed
to protect its citizens. Unfreaking believable to me that an
(30:00):
event which is as crazy as well, maybe not quiet,
but almost as crazy as Marty Graus. The ballards are
in the ground, and as this guy points out this witness,
they get the orange cones. You know the ones you
can tipwy He says, you know the ones you can
tip over with your fingers, And he's right. All the
hotels and bars and everything on Bourbon Street all have balconies.
(30:21):
They all have these steel poles, and they also could
act as somewhat of a barrier to at least slow down,
if not stop, a charging vehicle. None of this, none
of this was necessary. None of this had to happen.
I want you to think about something. What if DHS
(30:41):
and the FBI were just too busy trying to find
another sixteen hundred January six misdemeanings, not felons misdemeanings. Yeah,
what if they were too busy doing that to take
care of New Orleans? Think about that.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Hey, welcome back, Fellas.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I can't say I miss you, Mike, but I did
miss you Dragon. It's good to know that you're loved.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, I do too. I was like you sent me
this post from Andy No. Andy tweeted or posted. I
looked into the background of Matthew A. Livelsberger, the thirty
seven year old from Colorado Springs who drove a turo
rented Tesla and blew up at the Trump Hotel in
Vegas in a huge explosion. Livelsberger is also a US
(31:36):
Army vet excuse me, like the New Orleans Isis terror suspect.
Livelsberger's LinkedIn is no longer online, but there are ghosts
remnants of his background special Forces Intelligence sergeant, Defense Analysis
and Strategic Studies degree from Norwich University, Denver. Seven reporter
(31:56):
says Andy No Tony Coveleski is reporting that Littlesburger served
at the same military base as New Orleans Jihadis chamsu
Din Jabbar hm ties. Yeah. And then you think about
the uh someone renting the pickup truck or renting or not,
(32:20):
I'm not sure, but driving the pickup truck across the
Mexican border and renting the cyber truck in Carra Springs.
Then somebody says that guber number zero four seven seven
wrote this. This was yesterday at eight pm, Michael, after
(32:41):
listening to all the news, I'm betting the Tesla truck
was supposed to arrive in Vegas during the New Year's
celebration when streets were full of people, just like in
New Orleans. But they forgot to figure out how long
it would it take for recharging that truck along the way,
and they arrived too late. Maybe it was intended to
be set off from the crowd, but the hotel interest
(33:02):
turned out to be a late decision alternative in hopes
of causing significant damage to the building. What do you
think of my idea? I think it's as plausible as
anything else. And if that's the case, now do we
know for sure whether the guy is the guy that
rented the truck? Was he the only person in the truck?
(33:24):
Do we know that?
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I believe so, yeah, that's what I've heard.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, so maybe he was. Maybe indeed he was a
suicide bomber. Uh, well, they're both suicidal, so they're both gone.
So I think that's a very plausible excuse. And if
if the crowds are gone and it's not really worth driving,
you know, your cyber truck. I think a cyber truck
could caused some pretty significant damage on Las Vegas Boulevard.
(33:50):
You if you drive out, oh yeah, yeah, you start
driving down that street.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Those things are heavy, right, there's the battery and all
the metal that's made to make the truck.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Right, and those big ass tires they could they can
mow down a lot. So maybe he got there and
he got there late because again he had to stop
in charge all the way. So he decided that I'll
just take out the Trump Hotel because well, Donald Trump
and a tesla Trump so back to see him in.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
So, just to be clear, you're saying that they were
just flimsy, the flimsy orange barricades that weren't weren't up.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
They weren't.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Now, somebody else raised a good point. Maybe there was
no I'm not going to go down this path. I
just want to tell you what somebody told me on
the text line that maybe they had help on the
inside too. Why were those ballards not deployed? Why were
they not up? What the hell did Look? The FBI
(34:59):
are on a regular basis, sends out they're called FOUS
for official or FUOS for fous for official use only
memos that they send out to local law enforcement and
it's about things they're tracking and things that you need
(35:20):
to be aware of. I don't know for a fact,
but I would bet my kingdom that there was a
fou that went out about the German the Germany Christmas
celebration driver and the same modus operandi to be able
to look at for that, and with all the celebrations
(35:42):
going on for New Year's Eve and Christmas and everything else.
If you have large crabs like oh, I don't know,
the Sugar Bowl, maybe you want to deploy your ballards.
Maybe you want to deploy extra security. Maybe you want
to protect pedestrian streets, which, by the way, Bourbon Street
is not only a pedestrian street. Do you know they've
(36:02):
talked about making Bourbon Street a pedestrian street for decades now.
I wonder how long it'll take them back.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Now elsewhere, No, they were the metal ones were absolutely
not engaged.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Well and that structure at the time, right because there
was that twenty seventeen incident with Marti Gras where a
drunk driver drove through. And so from what my understanding is,
they increased security measures in that.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
They did they put a cop car sideways at the
corner of Canal in Bourbon. Yeah, that's what they did. BFD,
just a big BFD. If you have any confidence at
all left in Homeland Security and or the FBI, you're
(36:55):
not paying any attention now. I would never assumed that
you had any confidence that all in the NPD or
the governing administration of New Orleans. They've been incompetent, corrupt
for decades, so I don't expect that. I do expect
it out of the FBI and Homeland Security, but it's
(37:16):
non existent.
