Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael del Choonho.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The FBI has disrupted an alleged plot to kill employees
at a pro Israeli organization on the first night of Hanukkah,
and President Biden reiterates that there are no links between
Wednesday's attack in New Orleans and Las Vegas as of now.
Good segue into roy O'Neil, your national correspondents taking a
look at both these cases to see if there's a link.
(00:25):
Good morning, Ry, Yeah, Good morning Michael. A lot of things. Well,
we did this yesterday, right, so this is twenty four
hours old. We knew that both were army veterans, both
were stationed or came from the same North Carolina Army base.
We don't know that they knew each other. We don't
know that they have been communicating together. But that's a
(00:46):
lot of links. So where do we stand twenty four
hours later?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, this was also the New Orleans attack in particular,
was motivated by religion, right, and fanaticism, and we are
not seeing an element of that in the Las Vegas case,
which was a suicide. Really and now was it really
an attack on the building, because this was in Vegas,
it was a trained Green Beret who if you wanted to,
(01:13):
could have done a whole lot of damage. But I
want to put together there's amateurish bunch of fireworks, some
camping fuel and set the truck on fire. Was he
just trying to cover up the scene of a suicide
and wasn't really an attack on the building or Vegas?
And then you compare that to what happened in New Orleans,
Obviously that was very different. That was an effort to
(01:33):
inflict terror.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Rory's on this show because he's one of the best
of what he does and he doesn't fall for this
kind of stuff. But you must experience what I experienced.
Sometimes there's be unfair, it'd be biased to call it
a narrative. But there's what the mainstream media is saying,
and then there's what's going on on the internet. And
sometimes it's like a matrix and you don't know why
which is right. In this case, you've got a disfigured body,
(01:58):
burnt beyond recognition, Yet we have a name and somehow
his identification that wasn't harming the fire, So they're going
off on that on the internet. On the other one,
you have the clear Islamist motivation. And then we got
some reporter in yoga pants with the door still busted
down from the FBI going through his home back in Texas,
(02:21):
and she's literally showing her his caran going through. I mean,
what would be a trove of I think evidence and
important information. Why does she have access to this minislary?
You can understand why a lot of this is going
the internet way. I mean, we couldn't have more in
competence and or fuel for this kind of conspiracy stuff
with both of these cases, well right, but it's also
(02:44):
pretty remarkable what we were talking about yesterday. At this time,
we were concerned about other people that may have been
helping in the New Orleans attack. We were concerned that
there were people accomplices who had gotten away and might
be preparing to attack the Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And then we realized that when when they released the information,
they say, we have the video of this guy planting
the IEDs in two separate locations. So that's how we
can rule out that there were accomplices here. Add that
to the Facebook videos that he posted sort of describing
what he was doing and why and the motivation behind it,
helped to pretty much put a bow on that case.
(03:21):
They still don't know the point of radicalization. That's still
something that's that's being investigated, however, And the Vegas case
again seems to be a little bit more Why that location,
Why that That's a bit of a mystery.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's interesting you bring that up, because everybody's piecing together.
But apparently from a step brother, we find out that,
like all of them, they grew up very in a
Muslim family. He apparently had some marital issues, went through
a divorce, came back to Islam, unbeknownst to them, a
more radical brand of Islam. So we're kind of piecing
(03:57):
some of that together. I thought of all that. I mean,
it's stranger then some no name reporter in yoga pants
walking through a crime scene hours after a terrorist attack.
But the second would be down in New Orleans, where
you have an Kirkpatrick bizarrely admitting that she was unaware
of sidewalk barriers. This is where I was with you
twenty four hours ago. I was like, we'll remove those barriers.
(04:20):
Now suddenly she's introducing the barriers as a way of
assuring everybody they're safe going to the Sugar Bowl today,
as if they know, just found them. The technology was
just invented or just arrived and was parachuted in. They
had these barriers and someone took them down. Now they're
putting them up. Why were they ever taken down? That
would seemingly be an obvious question.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Absolutely, Yeah, a lot more questions about that security perimeter,
what standards they had in place or didn't. Yeah, so
a lot of but you know, there were still other
multiple access points there which are obviously all now under
review going into the super Bowl that's coming out. But
clearly that was a lapse of security at that site,
(05:03):
but really the whole area and may need a rethink
when we try to have this open street perfect rethink
you know, you know the permanent things that come right
on the ground made of cement, like we have in DC.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Any Friday night or Saturday night they close Bourbon Street.
It's wall to wall people. This should probably be made permanent.
But you had the temporary ones and somebody you could
find out who took them down and then put them
back up. That person should not continue the other job,
because that's that's what we saw, was just this dereliction
of duty and lack of focus. And I think you know,
(05:35):
I'm thinking of inauguration and a national championship that are
going to coincide in the same day. We've got Super Bowls,
we got a lot of big challenging events, and here
I'm watching this charade of incompetence in New Orleans, let alone,
some might say, extends to the FBI, to Homeland Security,
all the way to the President who's jokingly talking about
(05:58):
Super Bowls on Stop this damn thing, or they're gonna
get mad, you know, like it's like it's funny when
people are burying young people after this tragedy. We've got
some big challenges ahead and if nothing else, Las Vegas
and New Orleans prove we're not really up to them,
or we better get up to them real fast.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Right, We certainly have been. We dropped our guard since
nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Absolutely. Rory O'Neal great reporting is gonna be back in
the third hour as well.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Thanks for joining us, miss a little, miss a lot,
and we'll miss you. It's your morning show with Michael
del Churno.
