Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: First stream, first pod of twenty twenty five of Wicked Radio.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I cannot be more excited. And obviously it's gonna be
- 0:11Speaker 1: kind of tough to talk about the start of this
- 0:13Speaker 1: new year, with how it started and those terror events
- 0:16Speaker 1: and by the way, called terror events now by officials.
- 0:18Speaker 1: There was some confusion even over that in New Orleans
- 0:21Speaker 1: and Vegas. We'll get to that, because reaction to this
- 0:23Speaker 1: is everything, and it was great to see once we
- 0:26Speaker 1: were able to process everything, how America's reacting to this
- 0:29Speaker 1: because these radicalized excuse my language, it's going to be
- 0:32Speaker 1: a lot of that today. Ass clown douchebags who turned
- 0:36Speaker 1: out to be Americans aren't gonna dampen our enthusiasm about
- 0:39Speaker 1: what's coming. And it's great to see that people aren't
- 0:43Speaker 1: going to be turned off by that because they want
- 0:44Speaker 1: us to live in fear, and that's not gonna happen.
- 0:46Speaker 1: We'll get to that as well as some New Year's
- 0:48Speaker 1: Eve stuff that happened over the weekend as well. But
- 0:51Speaker 1: thanks for being here. As always, I appreciate your time
- 0:53Speaker 1: so much. I hope it was an awesome New Year's Eve,
- 0:54Speaker 1: New Year's celebration. I'll that good stuff. The New Year,
- 0:57Speaker 1: New Start, Fresh Start. Thanks you front of the stream
- 1:01Speaker 1: of the podcast, by the way, as well, and the
- 1:03Speaker 1: audio podcasts wherever you get. Those usually posted about a
- 1:06Speaker 1: half hour after we wrap up about here, and it
- 1:08Speaker 1: always lives as a as a replay here on x
- 1:11Speaker 1: and on Facebook now too. Just look for Wicked Radio
- 1:14Speaker 1: first reactions to what happened over the weekend. I keep
- 1:16Speaker 1: on calling it the weekend because I'm still so the
- 1:19Speaker 1: calendar on the of holidays in the middle of the
- 1:21Speaker 1: week screws me up so badly. Yesterday, I'm wandering around
- 1:24Speaker 1: on New Year's Day, going, this really feels like a Sunday.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But there you go. But this week, I should say,
- 1:29Speaker 1: for New Year's Eve and what happened in New Orleans.
- 1:31Speaker 1: We'll go over the timeline obviously as you try to
- 1:35Speaker 1: collect this stuff, and you know, and again it's horrible
- 1:39Speaker 1: news to start the year. But I want this to
- 1:41Speaker 1: be the focus of this. This is my message to you.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Our reaction so far, most people's reaction to this has
- 1:46Speaker 1: been exactly what you were looking for. It's not going
- 1:48Speaker 1: to damp an enthusiasm and good spirits and hope about
- 1:52Speaker 1: what's coming, because what's coming is gonna be awesome, but
- 1:54Speaker 1: they want to take that away from you, and they're
- 1:56Speaker 1: not gonna be able to. So here's the timeline. Obviously
- 1:59Speaker 1: what we know. Pick up truck rammed into the crowd, driver,
- 2:02Speaker 1: open fire, police heat, That dirt bag's dead. By the way,
- 2:04Speaker 1: they're saying fifteen killed. Now there's over thirty five injured.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Two police officers New Orleans were shot. This was amazing
- 2:15Speaker 1: on the reaction to New Orleans officials and what happened here.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Now obviously, as in a case like this will always happen,
- 2:23Speaker 1: FBI flew down right away and they took control of
- 2:25Speaker 1: the case as they should. How about the mixed messaging
- 2:28Speaker 1: out of New Orleans on this right away? You were
- 2:30Speaker 1: probably like me and everybody else, trying to get a
- 2:32Speaker 1: hold of exactly what this was. You heard about the
- 2:35Speaker 1: New Orleans terror attack with this truck, and you're thinking
- 2:40Speaker 1: first reactions probably, oh, as some of the reports told us, oh,
- 2:44Speaker 1: you got to see wide open border, you got some
- 2:48Speaker 1: Islamist coming across the border, which some reports had told
- 2:51Speaker 1: us first of all, right away, turns out it wasn't.
- 2:54Speaker 1: It was an American in an army vet. More on
- 2:57Speaker 1: him in just a second, and then the mixed messaging
- 2:59Speaker 1: from New Orleans BI officials on the scene. The first
- 3:02Speaker 1: officials in New Orleans had insisted, the first press conferences
- 3:05Speaker 1: from the other day had said this is not a
- 3:07Speaker 1: terror attack. This is absolutely not a terror attack. And
- 3:10Speaker 1: then the FBI comes out and calls it one. Do
- 3:14Speaker 1: you trust these people? We always talk about cleaning up things,
- 3:17Speaker 1: and I know those's just going to clean up government efficiency.
- 3:20Speaker 1: We know that, and that's great, and they're real competent
- 3:22Speaker 1: to people coming into the federal level. Obviously, here's what
- 3:25Speaker 1: else needs to happen. These local yogal officials in New
- 3:29Speaker 1: Orleans is a big city. We have got to get
- 3:33Speaker 1: rid of and fix this crisis of incompetence. Listen to
- 3:36Speaker 1: this situation here. First of all, here's the FBI's Special
- 3:40Speaker 1: Agent Duncan in charge. Listen, this is still confidence in you.
- 3:45Speaker 2: This is not a terrorist event. What it is right
- 3:49Speaker 2: now is there improvised explosive devices that was found and
- 3:53Speaker 2: we are working on confirming if this is a viable
- 3:56Speaker 2: device or not.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Improvised explosives that was found. Sounds great, sound like a
- 4:03Speaker 1: real pro. First of all, this is the time when
- 4:05Speaker 1: you want your best and brightest on it. She sounded
- 4:07Speaker 1: like a nineteen year old covering this story. This after
- 4:11Speaker 1: New Orleans officials had said it was a terror it
- 4:15Speaker 1: was not a terror event, and then you get on
- 4:17Speaker 1: a hold of it. Then you have this. She's wrapping
- 4:19Speaker 1: up her press conference. Did you see this, lady? The
- 4:22Speaker 1: New Orleans Chief of Police, Kirkpatrick, who looks like Grandma Clampett,
- 4:26Speaker 1: gets on there and starts talking about we're sorry, we're
- 4:30Speaker 1: sorry this happened, but we're gonna everybody. Still there's joy
- 4:34Speaker 1: to be had. Still enjoy everything. Now that's the job
- 4:37Speaker 1: of a let's say, the Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans,
- 4:39Speaker 1: right because it's a big tourist town. Let them come
- 4:41Speaker 1: in and talk about the joy. Still enjoy you know,
- 4:44Speaker 1: the sugar Bowl which is coming. It was delayed, but
- 4:46Speaker 1: it's gonna happen today. Still enjoy that, and we'll keep
- 4:48Speaker 1: you safe in this and that. I don't want. I
- 4:50Speaker 1: don't want the chief of police there at a press
- 4:54Speaker 1: conference talking about, you know, we're sorry this happened, but
- 4:58Speaker 1: still get out and enjoy everything. We have to offer. No,
- 5:01Speaker 1: we're looking for answers, lady.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Our goal is provide to additional information at the eleven
- 5:06Speaker 2: am prest conference. Thank you so much, and we will
- 5:10Speaker 2: be in touch.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Yes, I will say that we want our community and
- 5:15Speaker 3: our visitors to continue and join.
- 5:17Speaker 4: There's so much to.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Enjoy about New Orleans and we are going to make
- 5:23Speaker 3: sure that our routes and the super Dome are safe
- 5:27Speaker 3: today for the game. And yet we had this tragic
- 5:31Speaker 3: event and we're sorry again to everyone that.
- 5:35Speaker 1: A weird reaction from Grandma Clampet there the chief of police,
- 5:39Speaker 1: and we're sorry, We're sorry, this happened like a balloon
- 5:42Speaker 1: parade was canceled. We're sorry, but enjoy our joy. Now
- 5:49Speaker 1: that's not to say you don't want officials to say,
- 5:51Speaker 1: you know, to stand, they're strong and show that they're
- 5:53Speaker 1: resilient and you know city is still open. And we'll say,
- 5:55Speaker 1: but what the police chief. Just the two of them
- 5:59Speaker 1: combined there, the incompetent FBI Special Agent in charge and
- 6:03Speaker 1: then Grandma clamp At the police director. There was the
- 6:07Speaker 1: worst press conference of all time, and they contradicted each other.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Remember this is New Year's Day, early on after it
- 6:13Speaker 1: happened on New Year's Eve, and we're all the entire
- 6:16Speaker 1: country is looking for information. We get those two. Great, Yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 1: that really instills confidence. Wonderful clean up the incompetence, and
- 6:23Speaker 1: that the boobs in charge of safety in these cities
- 6:28Speaker 1: across the country. It's not as prosecutors, My God, good Lord.
- 6:33Speaker 1: All right, As it turns out the person in charge.
- 6:37Speaker 1: In first reactions to the New Orleans thing, everybody thought
- 6:40Speaker 1: it was a terrorist, and it turns out it is
- 6:42Speaker 1: who had on their bingo card. It would be an
- 6:43Speaker 1: American Army veteran terrorist guy that is apparently a ten
- 6:48Speaker 1: year VET. His name is Sam should Din Jabbar again
- 6:56Speaker 1: Army vet. He's dead, killed by the cops, like the
- 6:59Speaker 1: Vegas guy who we know about here in just a second.
- 7:02Speaker 1: An Army veteran radicalized in this country, a radicalized, desperate
- 7:12Speaker 1: asshole who did this to people and got those people killed,
- 7:15Speaker 1: and God pray for their families. Nobody saw that coming.
- 7:19Speaker 1: That was the first piece of information. And then we
- 7:21Speaker 1: go to Vegas. How about that the cyber truck explosion.
- 7:25Speaker 1: This was New Year's Day, broad daylight in Las Vegas
- 7:29Speaker 1: outside of Trump Tower in Vegas. Cyber truck elon Trump Tower,
- 7:34Speaker 1: Trump coming in. Was it a message? We all thought that,
- 7:37Speaker 1: of course it was crazy. Video on this all over
- 7:40Speaker 1: the place because it was broad daylight and sounded like this.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You probably saw that and heard that like I did,
- 7:58Speaker 1: and you thought sounds a lot like fireworks, And as
- 8:01Speaker 1: it turns out, it was a lot of improvised stuff,
- 8:04Speaker 1: low level, you know, amateur type things in the cyber
- 8:08Speaker 1: truck with gas canisters, and there were fireworks trying to
- 8:14Speaker 1: create a noise as much damage as possible, but less
- 8:17Speaker 1: than actually what happened. Now they identified early today the
- 8:20Speaker 1: suspect in this one, who is also dead. Apparently. That's
- 8:23Speaker 1: the reporting so far, and a lot of this can
- 8:25Speaker 1: change back and forth. Another Army VET American from Colorado Springs,
- 8:32Speaker 1: reportedly Matthew Liveelsperger, another ten year veteran. This guy apparently
- 8:37Speaker 1: was thirty seven years old, dead at the scene, apparently
- 8:40Speaker 1: in or around or possibly in the cyber truck. That
- 8:43Speaker 1: part's nuts clear so far. If you're watching this or
- 8:45Speaker 1: listening to this later on, they'll probably have answers on that.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But there's another one. And I love, I love though,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and this is why throughout all of this they didn't
- 8:55Speaker 1: do the kind of damage. It's horrific obviously, and people
- 8:58Speaker 1: who got heart in that, God pray for for the
- 9:02Speaker 1: people that died in New Orleans, but not what they
- 9:05Speaker 1: had planned specifically in New Orleans. Loved this post from
- 9:10Speaker 1: Elon The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a
- 9:14Speaker 1: terrorist attack. Why would he say that cyber truck actually
- 9:18Speaker 1: contained the explosion and directed the blast upward? You know,
- 9:23Speaker 1: if it had been any other vehicle picked a cyber truck.
- 9:26Speaker 1: And apparently they had rented Truro as a rental agency
- 9:30Speaker 1: rented the cyber truck and the same Ford truck the
- 9:34Speaker 1: lightning truck in the New Orleans attack from the same agency.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And I know they're looking into that the cyber truck
- 9:40Speaker 1: contained the explosion and any other vehicle would have sent
- 9:42Speaker 1: it right into the lobby of Trump Tower there. How
- 9:45Speaker 1: about that for irony? Another great thing to feel good about.
- 9:48Speaker 1: In fact, the police chief or one of the investigators
- 9:52Speaker 1: anyway out in Vegas had actually talked about that as
- 9:55Speaker 1: he was thanking Elon for his cooperation and finding out
- 9:58Speaker 1: who would be behind this. Otherwise they wouldn't have bideed
- 10:00Speaker 1: him so far. But the cyber truck failed expectations on
- 10:05Speaker 1: the part of the bad guy. Listen to this, Pay.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Attention to On that video. As you see that, it
- 10:11Speaker 5: looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as.
- 10:14Speaker 2: It sits there.
- 10:15Speaker 5: The fact that this was a cyber truck really limited
- 10:18Speaker 5: the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it
- 10:22Speaker 5: had most of the blasts go up through the truck
- 10:25Speaker 5: and out. In fact, if you look on that video,
- 10:28Speaker 5: you'll see that the front glass doors at the Trump
- 10:33Speaker 5: Hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they
- 10:36Speaker 5: were parked directly in front of. You can see that
- 10:38Speaker 5: in the video.
- 10:38Speaker 1: There about that talk about irony, You know, they try
- 10:45Speaker 1: to send a message, making it a cyber truck and
- 10:47Speaker 1: blowing it up right in front of Trump Tower. They
- 10:49Speaker 1: radicalized asshole who did this? Just like the guy in
- 10:52Speaker 1: New Orleans. No, No, that didn't work out so well?
- 10:55Speaker 1: Did it? Shock among shock that these are Americans doing it?
- 10:59Speaker 1: But we are all asking the question, now, well, how
- 11:02Speaker 1: did this happen?
- 11:03Speaker 4: Then?
- 11:03Speaker 1: How people get so radicalized? Guy love to go through
- 11:06Speaker 1: on this is he's a Florida Congressman, Corey Mills. I
- 11:09Speaker 1: don't let you know his name. He became well he's
- 11:12Speaker 1: a US congressman, but I mean he really kind of
- 11:16Speaker 1: got his name pushed to the forefront in the Haiti thing.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Remember we had Americans trapped in Haiti and Corey Mills,
- 11:22Speaker 1: who was a veteran himself from the eighty second Airborne,
- 11:25Speaker 1: very well connected. He is in touch with US officials,
- 11:30Speaker 1: intelligence officials all around the world, and he had just
- 11:32Speaker 1: gotten back from the Middle East. He was the guy
- 11:35Speaker 1: in Haiti that just ran his own rescue missions, flew
- 11:37Speaker 1: helicopter over and rescued Americans. He was incredible. He was
- 11:40Speaker 1: a great guy to talk to last night and Fox
- 11:42Speaker 1: News had him on talking about why Americans were radicalized
- 11:46Speaker 1: on this Corey Mills is fantastic. Here's what he had
- 11:48Speaker 1: to say, and it makes sense.
- 11:49Speaker 4: We know we have President Trump coming in. They want
- 11:51Speaker 4: to cause fear, they want to cause panic. But I
- 11:54Speaker 4: think that what we're seeing as well is over four
- 11:56Speaker 4: plus years, we've had millions of people cross our borders.
- 11:59Speaker 4: We know they're sleeper cells in our area, we know
- 12:01Speaker 4: they're easily activated. And I think that what you're seeing
- 12:04Speaker 4: now is a desperation from both ISIS and or On
- 12:06Speaker 4: to refocus and reconstitute its efforts to try and potentially
- 12:09Speaker 4: go after targets here in the US.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Nobody better connected than him, and he also went out
- 12:15Speaker 1: to say the most important part, and this is where
- 12:17Speaker 1: it's all up to you and me and everybody else
- 12:18Speaker 1: not to not to dampen our enthusiasm, not to ever
- 12:22Speaker 1: let this kind of crap make us live in fear,
- 12:24Speaker 1: because we're not going to. And it's been great to
- 12:26Speaker 1: see the reactions so far. If you scanned social media
- 12:28Speaker 1: or talk to some friends over this, It's not gonna
- 12:30Speaker 1: stop people I've heard. I've heard a lot of calls
- 12:32Speaker 1: for stopping the inauguration. You heard that one or they
- 12:35Speaker 1: would love that. You just think if they had lived
- 12:37Speaker 1: or whatever sleeper sales are still in this country, they
- 12:40Speaker 1: would love to have these kinds of incidents stop the
- 12:42Speaker 1: inauguration coming up in just days now, just a couple
- 12:45Speaker 1: of weeks in Washington, DC. They would love that. Not
- 12:48Speaker 1: gonna happen, not with this guy, not with the movement
- 12:50Speaker 1: happening now. Americans have had enough, and it's great throughout
- 12:53Speaker 1: all of this crap that happened. Crappy way, scary way
- 12:56Speaker 1: to start the new year. But the great thing that
- 12:58Speaker 1: comes out of this is it's not gonna damp but
- 13:00Speaker 1: Americans enthusiasm for getting this country back on track. I
- 13:03Speaker 1: think it's just going to double down people's efforts for
- 13:06Speaker 1: going back to American patriotism, not going to allow this
- 13:09Speaker 1: to happen. It's gonna be scary. Like Congressman Mills said,
- 13:12Speaker 1: just there, they're radicalized. They're here, two Americans did this
- 13:16Speaker 1: of New Year's two Americans veterans. All of this has
- 13:20Speaker 1: to be cleaned up, which is why he also made
- 13:22Speaker 1: a point in the same interview. It was a little
- 13:24Speaker 1: bit long, but he went on to say, this is
- 13:26Speaker 1: why Congress cannot dick around about this. Again, excuse my language,
- 13:30Speaker 1: but it kind of worked up with the reaction. America
- 13:33Speaker 1: can't dick around, delay, play politics anymore. Confirm the people
- 13:38Speaker 1: coming into this administration who need to get confirmed, Pete
- 13:41Speaker 1: hag Ziff, Telsey Gabbard, Cash Pateel, to clean up the FBI,
- 13:45Speaker 1: who I am sure had chatter about this over the
- 13:47Speaker 1: last four years of radicalized organizations creating sleeper cells. They
- 13:53Speaker 1: had four years to do it. With an open border
- 13:55Speaker 1: in our country, you can't delay. Get the people in
- 13:58Speaker 1: now and support them to clean up this country and
- 14:01Speaker 1: clean up the intelligence community. That's what needs to happen.
- 14:04Speaker 1: And what do you and I do put pressure on
- 14:06Speaker 1: your congress people, put pressure on your senators to get
- 14:09Speaker 1: it done. Don't play politics, get these confirmations done, and
- 14:12Speaker 1: get on the track as fast as possible to fixing
- 14:16Speaker 1: this country. Not gonna tamp in our enthusiasm at all,
- 14:19Speaker 1: it's not. In fact, let's wrap this up. That was
- 14:22Speaker 1: a lot of It was a lot of harsh stuff
- 14:24Speaker 1: to start the new year with, wasn't it. It also
- 14:25Speaker 1: started at mar a Lago. This was wild because a
- 14:28Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, remember we were talking about this,
- 14:30Speaker 1: speculating what kinds of musical acts would be at Yeah,
- 14:33Speaker 1: either New Year's Eve or maybe the inauguration. I don't know,
- 14:36Speaker 1: because let's face it, Trump has faced at a lot
- 14:39Speaker 1: of musicians who have set the seas and dissorders. Don't
- 14:42Speaker 1: play our song at your rallies, you know, outside of
- 14:44Speaker 1: like Lee Greenwood or these guys, the Village people, I
- 14:48Speaker 1: had a feeling they would get it. Remember they had
- 14:50Speaker 1: the leader of the village people. I don't know whether
- 14:51Speaker 1: this guy was the cop or the construction worker there.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell he was, but he
- 14:55Speaker 1: had set a couple of weeks ago and I played
- 14:56Speaker 1: get that audio of him saying, yeah, I think a
- 14:59Speaker 1: Trump and I think we'd play. Okay. I know the
- 15:03Speaker 1: village people aren't as big as they used to be,
- 15:04Speaker 1: but they get it. They understand it. Don't bite the
- 15:09Speaker 1: hand that feeds you. If you've got somebody that wants
- 15:11Speaker 1: to pay you a lot of money to play an inauguration,
- 15:14Speaker 1: put the politics aside and do it. Or if they
- 15:17Speaker 1: invite you to mar a Lago And sure enough, there
- 15:19Speaker 1: it was New Year's Eve. Get everybody in the room
- 15:25Speaker 1: dancing along to it. Village people playing YMCA. They just
- 15:29Speaker 1: changed the lyrics to young man to Trump man smart.
- 15:43Speaker 1: They want to give you the money, take the money
- 15:46Speaker 1: and play the gig. I can't believe some of the
- 15:50Speaker 1: don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Take the gig,
- 15:53Speaker 1: take the money. All right, So I got on that
- 15:56Speaker 1: more details. I'm sure it'll be coming out about these
- 15:57Speaker 1: radicalized idiots that tried to damper our enthusias and make
- 16:00Speaker 1: you afraid going forward to the future. It's not gonna happen.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. It's gonna be scary.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It's like Corey mill said, there, the representative said, there,
- 16:08Speaker 1: they're radicalized there here we're undoing all of the damage
- 16:12Speaker 1: that these past four years have done and it's gonna
- 16:14Speaker 1: be scary. But you can't. You can't let that make
- 16:19Speaker 1: you live in fear. Can't do it, and we're not
- 16:21Speaker 1: going to All right, Thanks for hanging out, and I'm
- 16:24Speaker 1: sure meet more. We have more details on that for
- 16:26Speaker 1: Friday already. God, it's weird. It feels like it feels
- 16:28Speaker 1: like a short week and you have two weeks all
- 16:30Speaker 1: at the same time with the holiday. Wicked Radio. The
- 16:33Speaker 1: podcast audio version will be up and running usually about
- 16:36Speaker 1: a half hour after you wrap up here, and as
- 16:37Speaker 1: always it's always on a replay right here. And thanks
- 16:39Speaker 1: for hanging out again. The main takeaway and I think
- 16:42Speaker 1: that matters can ever ever let fear run your life.
- 16:47Speaker 1: That's how you react to that. And don't take any
- 16:48Speaker 1: crap from anybody. Actually hanging out. Happy New Year, actual
- 16:52Speaker 1: starting it off with me. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
