Hey, it's Rich Eizen here. Join me and my compadre, Chris Brockman, every Monday on the Overreaction Monday podcast. We're also saying the record's gonna go down. I'm saying the record's going down anyway. I don't think you're off on this at all. Like, you're spot on here. I don't think this is an overreaction, because we have no idea what we're reacting to. Come react, or I'll react with us. Overreaction Monday. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. It's game over, over.
It's time for news and views with your host, Dale Jackson. Dale Jackson, Schmail Jackson. It's Andrew McLean, that's right, baby. I feel like never Dale Jackson won again. One more time, and then I'm done. I'm never doing. That's my New Year's resolution, by the way. Never doing it again.
I'm wondering how long that's going to last. Not very long. Listen, this past year or so, really past four years, I've really stuck to what I say I'm going to do. And that hasn't always been the case for me. It was never really one of those guys. And I would dare say I turned over a new leaf, like I think one of the biggest ones, and this has been a struggle
not cutting my hair until Donald Trump has put back an office. It is the only reason my hair is long is because Donald Trump is not an office. When the cheat happened in 2020, and we all saw it was very blatant, even in the very early stages, we knew exactly what happened.
I said in the days after the November election, I said, I am not going to cut my hair until they put Donald Trump back in office. And my thought was they'd get all this figured out. They could expose the fraud and get it all corrected before January 6. And then we would all would be right and Donald Trump would be inaugurated on the 20th of that month.
But that obviously didn't happen. So I was never able to cut my hair. So for four years...
really over four years at this point, I have continued to let my hair grow out. And I'm personally, I had this conversation with the boys at the over the line podcast on New Year's Eve. I said, guys, I'm ready to cut it. I mean, he's one. He's going to get, you know, inaugurated and everything else. And they're like, Oh, you can't do that. I'm like, dang, bro.
I'm just ready to get, I'm ready to cut it short, get back to wearing a ball cap. Like I used to, you're probably the only person in the building that knows that version of Andrew, because back when we worked at 101, it was just ball cap every day, short hair and everything else.
Here they've known nothing but long here including John Bird John Bird has never known me with short hair and I'm just I'm over it, man. It's just it's too much So can you stick it out until he's actually inaugurated? Well, that's what I'm supposed to do Okay, if I if I stick to what I said, which was I won't cut my hair until
Donald Trump is inaugurated. Now, granted, there's been trims and stuff like that, but you gotta do some routine maintenance along the way. I can't just let it get wild and crazy and down to my ass crack, you know?
Um, yeah, the 20th, 20th, 21st, I guess I'd do it the next day. I would imagine our 20th is going to be pretty busy with the inauguration here at the station. What day of the week is that on? Uh, Tuesday? That's Tuesday. Hang on. Let me see. 20th, right? Is it a Monday? Yeah. 17 days. That's Monday. All right. Well, that's a Monday. What a Monday that will be. Can we do an on-air stunt where you get your hair cut on the air? Well, and that's, that's what we thought.
that we may won't be able to do it on the 20th, but on the 21st, maybe we do the show from the podcast studio and then have a live broadcast of me getting my haircut while I'm on the mic and everything else.
Well, I might do that. Well, I don't know yet. I'm just, I'm just ready for, I mean, really, I'm kind of on edge. I'm ready for all of this to be over with. Like today, new Congress is coming in. We are voting for Speaker of the House. A handful of people don't like Mike Johnson. I would dare say a vast majority of this audience doesn't like Mike Johnson, but Donald Trump has given him, given him his blessing. And so I think ultimately
That's what we're gonna get. Here's where I'm at on that front. And we're waiting for the votes to start. Do we got any idea when they start the vote? It just says. I think they're going through the basic process right now, because I just watched as they were doing the whole, hey, the house floor is now open. So now they gotta get everybody set up for the new Congress before they then start doing those votes. Well, here's how I was framing it this morning in my own head, which doesn't mean a whole lot.
I'm getting to the point where I'm like, we're never gonna have a speaker that we like. We're never gonna have a speaker that we deserve. Somebody that sticks up for America first values. And America first means not sending money to Ukraine. That's America first, sticking up for the people. Is Mike Johnson on the right side of issues a lot of times? Of course he is. But he's also on the wrong side of some very important issues.
And so that causes a lot of frustration for us and the rest of the conservatives and MAGA supporters and everything else. I hope with Donald Trump giving Mike Johnson his blessing and with the amount of power, dare I say, that Donald Trump has at this point, with the mandate, with the support really reshaping the Republican party in his own image,
that Mike Johnson will do what Donald Trump asked him to do. That Donald Trump, if Mike Johnson starts wondering off the path, Donald Trump comes to him. Because remember, the biggest problem with Mike Johnson is his negotiating with Democrats. You don't negotiate with Democrats. You don't negotiate with terrorists. It's really the same thing.
That's her problem with Mike Johnson. Quit negotiating with Democrats because there is no negotiation. When you negotiate with Democrats, it only goes one way. It benefits them and it hurts conservatives. It hurts America. So Donald Trump being the negotiator he is, hopefully, if Mike Johnson starts to slip up, Donald Trump steps in and says, Hey,
You better fix this. Don't do it this way. Do it this way. And if you don't, I'm going to put my support for you. And then we're going to be on track to get a new speaker. But it's very important, though, for Donald Trump to have somebody in place that's going to push his agenda. So I think he knows what he's doing. Again, I would rather have somebody else besides Mike Johnson, but he's probably ultimately going to get to vote from the people
I say, let's just move it along. Let's get Trump's appointments in. Let's get RFK in there. Let's get the rest of these guys up and going. Cash Patel, Pam Bondi. I want to see him up and running because we need to hit the ground running on January 20th. There's no time to waste. We'll do the pumping circumstance. We'll do the, we'll do the inauguration thing and waving to the crowd and whatever else.
But on January 20th, by what is, uh, inaugurations at 11 o'clock our time, I believe. I think so. Yeah. That sounds right. By 3 p.m. Donald Trump's going to be working. He's going to be signing a vast amount of executive orders. He's going to be signing orders to restart construction of the border wall of, of, uh, kicking off our mass deportations. Tom Holman will probably be on the ground.
by four p.m. on January 20th, getting everything together. It's gonna be an exciting day for America. And seeing how 2020 or 2025 has started, we really need that breath of fresh air.
We still got a long way to go. What's today? The third, that's 17 more days, 17 days. You can cut your hair 17 days before I can cut my hair and 17 days of whatever the Democrats have to throw our way to cause under chaos to make Donald Trump's job a little harder. Hopefully we can make it through. I mean, look at what we've dealt with just over the past month over the past two months.
bombings, terrorist attacks, alien drones, you know, what else, uh, fires, explosions, just all kind of crazy stuff, man. And they're not going to be, they're not done with this. It's, it's going to continue to happen. We've had countless about planes falling out of the sky. It's just one thing after another.
I'll actually, let me, let me do this. Let me take a break. I'll come back on the other side and I'll just give you a list of some of the stuff that's just happened over the past week or two that's crazy, absolute craziness in this country in order to, you know, intentional or not in order to cause chaos. Five, four, five, nine, nine, five, zero news and views. Andrew McLean, hang tight. You're listening to News and Views with Dale Jackson.
All right, so we'll start here. One dead 15 injured after a plane crashes into a warehouse yesterday near Southern California's airports. So Cal Airport, a plane just falls out of the sky. One person is dead 15 injured after a small plane crashed into a warehouse near the airport in Fullerton, California.
According to reports, pilots dead, police identified the plane as a home-built van's aircraft RV-10. I don't know what that means, but maybe you do. Was seating for four people. The pilot appeared to be returning to the airport after takeoff. It was not clear how many people were on board the plane. Several people were treated at the scene and nine people were taken into a nearby hospital, causing the crashes unknown.
Now, y'all don't get me wrong. I'm not like saying there's a conspiracy theory here. It sounds like the guy took off and he had some, you know, playing throw. There's actual footage out there of it and it's a huge explosion. But it says crash happened around 2 10 p.m. on the 2,300 block of West Raymer Avenue directly adjacent to the Fullerton Municipal Airport.
The incident was first reported as a structure fire, indicating that the plane crash had sparked a fire video from Sky5 later confirmed that a commercial building had been hit with a large hole in the building's roof and no sign of any visible plane wreckage. So I guess that plane ran right into the building. Like went through the roof, firefighters were seen battling the fire inside the warehouse and nearby buildings were evacuated. Not sure what kind of warehouse then was, but
We've seen plane accidents happen just over the past, what, two weeks? There was one and where was that? It was in South Korea. South Korea just exploded and, you know, like all but two people died. Like there was a hundred and something people on board. There was an Air Canada plane that crashed. There was a
there was something else. It was just, it was one after another and you got to ask yourself, man, one, why are these planes falling down the sky? And two, do you really even want to fly anymore? Is it worth it? Because, you know, plane racks and plane malfunctions are supposed to be rare and they used to be rare, but now it seems like we're having it happen all the time. And I'll just drive.
They say it's safer to be in a plane than it is to actually drive down a highway for, you know, hundreds of miles. But I don't know about that. See, I look at it this way. I might as well fly and save the time. And if, you know, if I'm supposed to die in the plane wreck, I'll either die in that or the plane will crash on me as I'm driving to where I'm going instead of taking the flight. That's a good point. That's a good point.
dies yes I just I get too much anxiety plus I mean the way the cars are now like from my vehicle it's got so many freaking safety features which is annoying at times because constantly dinging you and pulling you back into your lane and everything else but
You know, cars are safer now than they once were. Do you notice that? I thought I meant this the other day. When you see car racks on the highway, you never see, well, I say never. You regularly see newer cars. I mean, cars that are like two, three, maybe even four years old involved in racks, at least as the
you know, a perpetrator of the wreck, you know, hit from behind or whatever. Because the way they're set up now, you know, my car will automatically break. If I'm coming up on semi, I'm getting too close. It starts beeping. If somebody comes up on my side of my blind spot and gets too close, my brakes, um, engage and will slow me down to, uh, if you're, you're back it up and you get too close to something, it'll hit the brakes. Yeah. And I'm like, I mean, you know,
It's a good thing. I feel like I have less control over the vehicle because of that. And I think to a certain extent as drivers, we as a general population become dumber because we rely on that safety equipment more than what we should for our own driving instincts. Those driving instincts have been dulled.
Yeah, that's true. It's a double edged sword. It does, uh, it does make it more safe, but you also get, I think about Tesla's and stuff, you know, we, we did a Tesla ride with, with Tony Gump a couple of weeks, two or three weeks ago. And the way that thing just handles all aspects of driving, you know, it's like, man, that's, uh, that's kind of dangerous because he's got, it's got a camera.
above the mirror or below the mirror that's looking at you the whole time. And if you're not looking for it out the window, it will start beeping at you or it'll take away the self-driving feature. Oh my gosh. And actually, if you commit any of these Tesla violations like so many times in a matter of a week or a month or whatever it is, it will disable the self-driving feature and it won't let you use it for a period of time.
It's like like getting banned on Facebook or something. Wow. Okay. It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild. So you got to stay looking straight for it. And I'm sure there's something that I don't know. I think you're right. I think it's just too much. And people need to learn how to do it the old school way, drive a stick shift, you know, mash the clutch and just put in the work. You need to put in the effort to drive.
speaking of uh... stick shift pushing in the clutch there was another bomb threat yesterday involving the driver of an eighteen willer which closed down i eighty five in greenville south carolina what is going on i saw a video uh... on on face book where there was a bomb threat at the a m c and hoover yeah i heard about that and they evacuated people you think you're doing i mean what is going on accomplish bombing a movie theater
with the uh... with the eighteen wheeler uh... it says the truck driver was taken into custody one person is in custody after the incident involving a suspicious package halted traffic for hours on eighty five in south carolina according to the department of transportation the incident caused a traffic backup near exit forty four at white horse road in greenville officials are asking drivers to avoid the area as a five twenty five p.m. eastern time yesterday
All lanes were closed and blocked. Greenville County dispatch said the incident involved the tractor trailer blah blah blah blah. Greenville County deputies sent SWAT and bomb team members were called to the scene to assist South Carolina state transportation transport police following a reported traffic stop just after 3.30 p.m.
uh, the sled, bomb squad and FBI are also assisting, dah, dah, dah, dah. Not a lot of details. I never even heard the final backstory on that. Like, was it actually a bomb? It's, it's, it's kind of random to have an 18 wheeler traveling down the highway with a bomb in the truck. One would think, yeah. Like, where's he going? What's he playing on blowing up? And then
and pay it Idaho. You had another guy with an improvised bomb that he was putting on a train.
and police arrested forty-year-old brent shawri shawri shawri let's just call him brent brent uh... was arrested after it they discovered an improvised explosive device attached to a rail car and pay it idaho officers responded to a report of a suspicious individual attempting to ignite an object near part apart railroad car
in the 600 block of North 8th Street on arrival. They observed fresh footprints in the snow leading to a train car. Man, that's old school police work right there. Where they found an undetonated PVC pipe bomb style device affixed to a step.
Following the footprint officers located Brent in the nearby camp trailer, he attempted to flee, but surrendered after a brief pursuit during the arrest. He reportedly claimed he was just, quote, trying to make a loud explosion or loud boom and did not intend to cause harm or property damage.
right uh... because you know nothing to go wrong with up an explosion right uh... he was taken into custody at that time on uh... on outstanding pant county warrants he was later booked into the jail on those warrants as well as additional charges for possession of a destructive device possession of a controlled substance or there's a shocker possession of paraphernalia and resisting
and obstructing officers due to the dangers posed by the IED, the bomb squad, was requested for assistance in rendering the device safe. It was also notified in ALTA. The railroad was also notified and all trains scheduled to travel through the incident site were put on standby for approximately five hours until the scene was determined to be safe. An agent with the FBI also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation, says the specialized robot
Remove the IED from the train car and later detonated the device to render it safe. What's going on with the bombs? Why has everybody got bombs? And then obviously, what happened in Vegas on New Year's Day? We'll talk more about that when we get back. 545995-0. It's news and views. Andrew McLean filling in one more time back after this.
All right, here we go. News of views, Andrew McLean filling in for Dale Jackson, who will be back on Monday. And I'm sure he'll have lots of fascinating stories to tell you about, such as drinking on New Year's and some sort of drama with his kid and some sort of drama with random mountain broke bombs. He'll have lots of stuff.
to bring to the table, I'm sure. And he can tell you about that illegal gambling facility. The illegal casino he was here in the state of Alabama on New Year's Day. I'm interested to hear about that one. Yeah, that's gonna be exciting. So anyway, let's stick to bombs, shall we? We're talking about, you know, a train car bombs. You had 18 wheeler bombs. You had bomb threats in Hoover at the AMC theater.
these are in some cases and I dare say the AMC since that never seemed to unfold into anything are copycat events and it's it's not I don't want to say it's rare but you know we don't see it a whole lot but you occasionally do bomb threaded school or some sort of facility and
You know, when you're in a place like that, you have no option but to evacuate or evacuate the people, the employees or the patrons just to be on the safe side. And then we have to use police resources to sweep the place and make sure that it is in fact the hopes. But these are copycats.
And they're copying what we obviously saw in Las Vegas. We talked about this at length yesterday and it is because it happened on Wednesday. It has unfolded in real time. Just like New Orleans, it's never when it seems to be at the beginning. They always lied to you on the front end. Why? I don't know, but they lied to you on the front end.
And the further we go with this Las Vegas Cybertruck bombing, the more it seems like we're being lied to. So the Vegas bomber is, as internet sleuths are digging in and trying to figure out what exactly, who exactly this guy is, what's his background, what was maybe his motivation, because by the way, the FBI is not going to be in the business of giving you the motivation of this guy, so we have to figure it out on our own.
Someone found a photo of him and his wife, or I'm sorry, his girlfriend. And in this picture, he is wearing a shirt that says, well, I don't know how to pronounce it, but it translates to glory to Ukraine.
in English. This is a well-known slogan associated with Ukrainian patriotism and all that kind of stuff. And it's got a symbol that resembles a trident which is the national emblem of Ukraine.
And so you see somebody wearing this out in public and you're like, oh, yeah, there are these, these are one of these blowhards that wants to send billions of billions of dollars to Ukraine. And so we find that out and we're like, okay, well, maybe he's just an anti Trump guy because Trump is against allowing this war to go on and on and he wants to, you know, oh, whatever. And then there was evidence on his LinkedIn that he was setting up
A recently retired U.S. Special Forces soldier, I guess a friend or acquaintance with contacts in Ukraine in order to go over there and fight. There was a post on this website says quick turn 30 day contract up in Ukraine and 550 per day lodging and travel provided.
He commented under that and said, I've got a top 18D recently, ETS, who is looking for just this opportunity, sent him your way. So he's just simply connecting to people. He's not trying to go to Ukraine himself. And so you see that, you're like, okay, well, you're starting to put the pieces together. This guy was one of these Ukraine lunatics, and he's very angry at the fact that the incoming administration doesn't plan on sending Ukraine any money. But then you talk to his family.
Then you talk to his uncle, and they say he was actually a huge Trump supporter. Like he loved Donald Trump. He was a huge Trump supporter. Says, let me see if I can find a quote from the uncle. Let's see.
through extension is a according to his uncle Matthew levels burger is that what we call him levels burger was a staunch Trump supporter. The uncle also told the independent that he was a skilled warrior who would have been able to make a much more sophisticated bomb.
So why would he use propane tank camping fuel and fireworks instead? We knew about his military background and anybody that talked about it knew anything about it. They said this guy, if anybody would be able to make a pretty sophisticated bomb would know the ins and outs of it and be able to call his maximum damage much more so than really anybody else. But instead it was very primitive setup with
camping fuel, propane tanks, fireworks, fireworks for some reason, was the point in fireworks. And in a cyber truck, the same cyber truck everybody knows to be the strongest dadgum car on the road, which dramatically reduced the damage to at least the hotel because of how the explosion worked. Or, you know, maybe the explosion wasn't even that big because it was so poorly put together.
So now I'm scratching my head and I'm like, wait a minute, Trump supporter didn't rely on his expertise to build the better bomb, make a bigger explosion. What, what is going on here? And so I'll start thinking about it. And I'm like, well, what if, how does,
How does the FBI and you remember we carried it live yesterday? The FBI comes out and they identify the guy. And at first they said, oh, he's so badly blown up and burned that we can't identify him. And when they did identify him, they say, yeah, we, we, we matched a couple tattoos. He had some tattoos left after that explosion. We matched a couple tattoos and actually his military ID was still in the truck and intact. Perfectly legible.
What is it about terrorists and their IDs always surviving these explosions? Isn't that weird? It's convenient. Like on 9-11, they just find the terror, the hijackers' IDs on the ground after the building collapsed and big explosions and jet fuel and everything else. It's like, oh, here's his ID. That's the one thing in the truck to get it burned up. It's just too weird, man. It's too weird.
And they say, listen, this is just me putting pieces together. I'm not going to pretend to know what happened or to even have an educated guess to what happened. But I've got an educated guess as to what didn't happen. They say he drove that cyber truck in front of the hotel once in order to, I guess, scope it out. He then goes over to a parking lot down the street and hangs out for a few.
And I guess when he leaves that parking lot, they don't necessarily have the surveillance footage for that. I mean, it is Las Vegas, you would think every corner has surveillance, but whatever, tomato tomato. He then comes back around, parks in front of the hotel where the valley is, and within 17 seconds, the explosion happens. But before the explosion happens, the dude blows his brains out.
So somehow he shot himself and still was able to set off this very primitive explosion. Why does that not make sense to me? Why does that not make sense to me whatsoever? Could it be that he was, I don't know, I'm just theorizing here. I'm not telling you guys I'm proof of this or anything.
Could he have taken one to the dome before he had gotten to the valet spot? I don't know if you know this, but that Cybertruck is very capable of driving from a parking lot to the front of a hotel in parking. We got, when we went with Tony Gump, we went to O'Sherry Pub over in Moody, and we parked on the other side of the parking lot,
Tony Gump gets on his phone, tells the Tesla to come pick us up and it drives through the parking lot by itself over to exactly where we were standing and allowed us to get the car. It was really weird, but that's what these Teslas do. So make that make sense. How does he ignite this bomb? He said, well, he had a timer and blah, blah, blah, blah. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Maybe it makes sense to y'all call me up. Let me know 205-545-9950. I got a lot more to talk about and maybe maybe I won't even make sense of any of this, but we're going to try our best news and views.
So I mentioned earlier his girlfriend. He actually- actually didn't have a girlfriend. He had an ex-girlfriend. That's who I was referring to. The picture he was in, he was with his ex-girlfriend and as a matter of fact, he reached out to his ex-girlfriend before the bombing. And the ex-girlfriend said, yeah, he seemed cheerful. He seemed playful. Seemed perfectly normal. Okay.
He, uh, texted his ex-girlfriend about the thrill of renting the cyber truck. It says, so he was excited to drive a cyber truck. According to the screen shots, levels burger wrote, quote, I rented a Tesla cyber truck. It's the ish. In the next text message a moment later, he told his ex, quote, I'm building drones in my new position. You would love it. It was at 906 AM.
okay she described as attitude is playful in nature thank that for what it's worth uh... danny's in halfland danny what's up hey i've got a theory how i'm out of debt how do you have not i got the uh... i'm trying to go out
Well, they couldn't use the detonator and you used the cell phone to detonate the bomb that blew up. Yeah, depending on how that bomb was set up, I mean, somebody could have detonated a thing from a different location. It didn't have to be to do it. Oh, yeah, I have a cell phone to do it with. Right. I mean, I thought I heard of it anyway.
Yeah, that's true. I guess it depends on. Yeah, depending on, I guess, what kind of bomb it is. I'm no bomb expert, but we know that that's possible.
And that's what's crazy is this almost seems, this particular bomb that he put together in this cyber truck seems like something he just maybe looked up on the internet and threw together. But for a green parade who was specializing in this stuff and do have to make things like this better than anybody else, why would he be just looking up randomly online how to make a bomb and make it make it so crude. And so
You know, I guess ineffective. Weird. Weird. I mean, they did it. I mean, they did it, didn't he? Yeah, I don't think they wanted to have a bomb building. Yeah. Yeah, man. Honey, honey, honey, honey.
Yeah, see, you can go back through history and look at different things. History, by the way, has a tendency to repeat itself. And if you pay close enough attention, you can see that almost daily. Danny, I appreciate it, buddy. Oh, problem. All right, there's Danny. Yeah, it's just
You can't, when we try to put the pieces together on our own because law enforcement or the FBI or whoever won't give us information. And the reason they don't give us the information is they say, well, we wanna give you accurate information. We wanna give you the correct information. So we need you to be patient as we put things together. And then in the same breath,
They will go ahead and put out information that later turns out to be incorrect. Whether it's, it wasn't, New Orleans wasn't a terrorist attack or whatever. And it's like, man, man, I just, I'm not.
I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. Those cyber trucks, obviously, and I was just talking to Tony during the break, they have the ability to drive themselves. And as we stated early in the show, on a Tesla, it's got a camera on you and it makes sure you're looking straight ahead, going down the road and that your eyes are open. It's got all this facial recognition and detection and everything else.
So you got to have a body sitting in the seat looking straight ahead, which, you know, whether or live or that it's, it's, it's possible to do. But with that bomb with that drive over there, with that 17 seconds after he parked, he shot himself and then blew the car up. That's what we need answers to from the FBI. Jay, what's up, buddy?
Andrew, come on, man. Now, you know, I like a liar conspiracy theories and all that, but you get a little carried away. I, you know, a long time ago, EOD troop, how they're forced on to go around, you know, they don't sell bomb making equipment down at bombs or us, you know, getting a hold of weapons, grade munitions is not like in TV.
You go find some dealer down the street and you're going to sell you a bunch of rockets. You know, the stuff is hard to come by for a reason. You know, how or why or whatever, you know, there's hundreds of ways that they could detonate that thing after, you know, he killed himself. Timers, whatever. But, you know, you make it sound like, you know, with his training, he could have gone down to somewhere and just bought him a bunch of plastic and gone crazy. The stuff's not that easy.
but it was just propane tanks and camping fuel and fireworks weather fireworks in there and if you thought you listen to any bomb expert talk on t.v. or radio or any way they're all saying the same thing they're like this is very amateur this is very crude it is i mean you know i it may be all he had to work with if he did it or if somebody else did i don't know i don't even want to go down that road to a certain extent i'm just saying
What he had what he came up with maybe all you know if he just decided he flipped a switch and went nuts You know that does happen and that was all he could You know get gathered together in a limited amount of time You know He just maybe wanted to make a statement, you know make a big bang and scare the hell out of people I don't know. I'm not him. He's not here to tell it well And there's a thing you was telling you you know
you make it sound like well you could have gone and you know he had his training that yeah he had trained but you got to come up with the munitions you got to come up with the weaponry you got to come up with the dynamite the plastic and now you're probably going to get twenty phone calls a guy said oh yeah i know you know billy bob bob lead down broke he can sell you all that if you want pardon my language i just i just trust
here's the thing he you and i are in the same boat because i'm i'm not over here putting out theories as to what happened i'm simply asking questions because none of this makes sense yeah no and i'm with you on that i i'm totally with you on that uh... it doesn't make sense but uh... you know amateur sure not whether he did or not i'm not in the investigation and there's a you know
Even though the FBI has got a big stain on their name, there are a lot of good agents out there trying to figure this out.
y'all can keep slamming the FBI but you know for every bad one you got out there there's probably a hundred good field agents out there that you know wishes it was different but they they're out there trying to do their job. No we know I mean I've got all right all right I just you know sometimes you guys forget about you know those field agents and you know my my son's a cop and you know I'm so tired everybody running down this next generation all they're lazy they don't want to do anything
You know, I got a cop, I got a son's a cop, a son's a firefighter. A lot of these kids out there you don't hear from because they're busy making a living. And they're, you know, I call kids during the 30s, you know, 20s, 30s, 40s. Those guys you don't hear from because they're out there making a living. You hear about
all this garbage from these guys that sit down, you know, in their mama's basement and all they have time to do is hit tap on the type, you know, on the... No, I got you. I got you, Jay. And I'm running out of time, but I appreciate the call. I ran it. I'm sorry. No, you're good. I appreciate it. All right, buddy. Thanks, Jay. And here's the thing. I have family and friends in our cops. I have friends that are in the Secret Service and the FBI. I know these people. I know the good people. I know the bad people. But those friends and family,
They agree with me, I need to be holding the bad people accountable. They know I'm not dragging them down. They know that I know that everybody else knows that they're good people and they're doing the right thing. But I'm not gonna give up on going after the criminals, the people that are ruining our country, the people that have weaponized our justice department, I'm not gonna do it. Anyway, that's how I'm gonna end news and views.
