I 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: hope you guys have gotten rested up, had an awesome 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: time with your friends and your family. But unfortunately, as 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: we begin this first show with either Buck, Buck or 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: myself in twenty twenty five, we got an awful news 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: story that is going to be the focus of today's program, 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: and that is the terror attack that occurred in New 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: Orleans yesterday at about three point fifteen in the morning 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: Central time, when a isis inspired deranged lunatic drove his truck, 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: mowed down a substantial number of pedestrians, and was then 20 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: finally shot and killed by police. After he got out 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: of the car and began to fire a weapon. Sadly, 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: this is all too predictable. I ended the show telling 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: you guys that I had a deep fear after having 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: just been to Israel and seeing what fundamentalist Islamic terrorists 25 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: were willing to do to Jews. Given how wide open 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: this country has been in many ways, and given the 27 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: fact that the Department of Justice, Joe Biden, and the 28 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: FBI have been telling us since January sixth that the 29 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: biggest threat to America was white supremacy, I had a 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: feeling that we were not focusing on the people that 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: would actually do damage to this country. And this is 32 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: the result, and I don't think it's going to be 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: the end result. They're going to be. Unfortunately. I believe 34 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: in the days, weeks, and months ahead, many people who 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: become the victims of radical Muslim extremism and are killed 36 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: in this country because we haven't been doing what we 37 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: should be doing, which is focusing on the people that 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: are actual dangers this country. Instead, we've been going after 39 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: grandma's and grandpa's who trespassed on January sixth. We've been 40 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: investigating school board parents who show up like me and 41 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: are upset about the decisions being made surrounding their kids' education. 42 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: We have been focused on pro life protesters who stand 43 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: outside of abortion clinics and try to encourage people not 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: to have abortions. That is what the Joe Biden Department 45 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: of Justice, as well as all the law fair that's 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: been brought to bear against Donald Trump. They have been 47 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: focusing on things that are not actual direct the rest 48 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: of this country, and I believe, as a result, have 49 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: allowed the terror attack which just happened, and unfortunately, what 50 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: I believe will be future terror attacks to occur because 51 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: they haven't been focused on the real bad guys in 52 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: this country. And I'm going to dive all into that. 53 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it to a great degree. Unfortunately, 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: I was hoping we'd have a happy Hey it's second 55 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: to January. Let's all just kind of celebrate. I'll help 56 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: you get through your hangovers. 57 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: So I thought. When I kicked up my feet. 58 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: I woke up yesterday morning, I was like, man, I'm 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: going to watch college football all day.

And I want you 121 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: kids to listen to me closely. This is what globalized 122 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: the Intifada looks like. You have lost the ability your 123 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: generation to distinguish between good and evil. 124 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: Evil is what. 125 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Just happened in New Orleans. You and your college buddies, 126 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: you and your young friends.

You've 130 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: been out chasing girls or boys. You probably have had 131 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: a few too many drinks, and you are just thinking 132 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: to yourself, Man, it couldn't have been much more fun 133 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: than what we just experienced. And then this terrorist comes 134 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: speeding down Bourbon Street, wiping out every single person that 135 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: he could. That's what globalized. The dafada means. They want 136 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: to kill you because they believe that America and our 137 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: freedoms are evil. 138 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: You have taken up the mantle. 139 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: This guy had the ISIS flag in the back of 140 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: his truck. You have taken up the mantle of evil 141 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: and convinced. 142 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: Yourself that it's actually good. 143 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: This is one of the most troubling things in the 144 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: last year two years that's happened in America. We have 145 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: lost the ability to distinguish between good and evil, especially 146 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: young people. These kids on college campus is supposedly the 147 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: most educated generation ever. They're so educated they can't even 148 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: tell what good and evil is. And you guys need 149 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: to start speaking out to your friends and your family 150 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: and those age groups, and you need to tell them, hey, 151 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: this is what we're supporting. Globalize the Intifada means bring 152 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: the evil of Muslim fundamentalism and terrorism, and we're going 153 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: to bring it to the United States. And we're going 154 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: to rain down holy hell on America too, because they 155 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: believe that we are evil. 156 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: This is important. 157 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: A lot of times we talk about this on the show. 158 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a lot of different battles in American politics. 159 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: What should the corporate tax rate be? Some people are 160 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: going to say it should be twenty seven percent, other 161 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: people like me are going to say it should be 162 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: fifteen percent. What should the top marginal tax rate be? 163 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: I think it should be lower. What should the capital 164 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: gains tax rate be? What should we do as it 165 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: pertains to social Security or medicare? How should we adjust 166 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: the cost of living? All of those things are very 167 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: real political debates, But in the grand scheme of things 168 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about on the margins disagreements that reasonable people 169 00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: can have, there is no reasonable argument of than killing 170 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: people because your religion has convinced you that it should 171 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: occur is evil, and there are millions, if not tens 172 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: of millions, of people who believe that what that man 173 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: did is actually heroic. Now, some of us lived through 174 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,479 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and we remember seeing the towers fall, 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: and we remember what evil truly is. But what scares 176 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: me is if a nine to eleven terror attack happened today, 177 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: some people would say, and it wouldn't be an insubstantial 178 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: amount of Americans, that we deserved it, and that the 179 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: terrorists were right to fly those planes into those buildings 180 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: because much of the American public, especially people under the 181 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: age of twenty five, has lost the ability to truly 182 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: distinguish between good and evil. So, all of you out 183 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: there listening to me right now, who are home on 184 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: college break home, on Christmas break home one winter break, 185 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: as you are riding around right now with your mom 186 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: or your dad, or your grandma or your grandpa, right now, 187 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: there are many people on your college campuses that supported 188 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: this and don't have the ability to distinguish between good 189 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: and evil. That has to end. We have to have 190 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: honest conversations about this. We have to condemn this utterly 191 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: across the American body politic and across all age ranges, 192 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: because if we don't, this is going to happen more 193 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: and more and more. And this is what globalized the 194 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: Intafada really means. 195 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: It means you. 196 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: Are standing on the street, having celebrated all night with 197 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: your buddies on Bourbon Street, and then out of nowhere 198 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: a car comes and drives right over you or your 199 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: best friend. 200 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: Again. 201 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Almost every single person who died was under the age 202 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: of twenty five, because you guys know, that's most of 203 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: the people that are going to be out at three 204 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: pin fifteen in the morning, still celebrating older people. Maybe 205 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: a lot of older people out there did what I did. 206 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: You're in the Central time zone and at eleven o'clock 207 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: you're like, ah, it hit midnight on the East Coast. 208 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: I think I'll go ahead and go to bed. I've 209 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: been through enough New Years. I'm not at a huge 210 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: celebration right now. I'll tell my kids Happy New Year, 211 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: and I'll go on to bed. Most people around my 212 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: age or older not out at three fifteen in the 213 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: morning anymore. The people who were victims, I'm seeing all 214 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: these poor kids. I came to imagine what their families 215 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: are going through. Almost all of them are teenagers or 216 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: in their early twenties, the same age people that were 217 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: on college campus is chanting globalize the Intifada. This is 218 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: what that leads to, and I think it's important to 219 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: recognize it much less serious. I told you I love this. 220 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to be watching the Sugar Bowl a little 221 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: bit later. What do I mean.

They have moved the Sugar Bowl 265 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: to today and it is kicking off at three Central 266 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: time in New Orleans, four on the East coast. Just fyi, 267 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: and we're going to have audio from this press conference 268 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: in a moment, But first I want to play you 269 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: some of what happened yesterday. This was an act of terrorism. 270 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: This is the Assistant Director Christopher Ray yesterday. Listen to 271 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: cut one. 272 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point. 273 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and 274 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: an evil act. This was obviously a critical incident, and 275 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 4: with that, lots of information and tips come pouring in 276 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 4: from law enforcement, first responders, and the public. We have 277 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 4: been aggressively running down these tips and information. 278 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: But at this point, currently. 279 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: And this is another position on another fact I want 280 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: to be clear on, we do not assess at this 281 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 4: point that anyone else involved in this attack is involved 282 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: in this attack except for shamsud Din jib are the 283 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 4: subject you've already. 284 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: Been briefed on. 285 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: Okay, So initially they said they thought three or four 286 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: other people were involved, and there may have been other 287 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: explosive devices. They now say they don't believe anybody else 288 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: was involved. And I'm not sure how you pronounced this 289 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: guy's name. It's not Christopher ray the FBI director who 290 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: is stepping down. It may be pronounced the same way. 291 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: It may be Raya. I'm not sure r Aia is 292 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: what I have this gentleman's name as that is who 293 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: was just speaking. That was this morning. This was yesterday, 294 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: and this is I tweeted about this and said, this 295 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: is one of many reasons why we need Kashptel in 296 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: immediately as the head of the FBI, the person who 297 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: decided to speak yesterday. This is in the press conference 298 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: they had yesterday morning, hours after the attack. Remember, the 299 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: guy had a friggin ISIS flag on the back of 300 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: his pickup truck. I'm not an expert on investigatory procedures, 301 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: but if you have an ISIS flag on the back 302 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: of your truck and you're mowing down people, maybe there's 303 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of evidence that you might be involved 304 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: in a terror attack. Remember yesterday, the FBI, in the 305 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: press conference several hours after the attack said it wasn't 306 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: a terror attack. 307 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 2: Listen, this is not a terrorist event. 308 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 4: What it is right now is there improvised explosive devices 309 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 4: that was found and we are working on confirming if 310 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 4: this is a viable device or not. 311 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: Okay, excuse me. 312 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: You've got potentially multiple IEDs, You've got an ISIS flag 313 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: in the back of the truck, you got a guy 314 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: mowing down people out on Bourbon Street, and the first 315 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: thing you say at your press conference is this is 316 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: not a terrorist event. Who are these people who are 317 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: working as FBI agents? This is why I want to 318 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: talk with with Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent. The 319 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: number one thing we have to do is get back 320 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: to the meritocracy in America. 321 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 2: I always say this, I don't care. The more significant your. 322 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: Job is, the less I care about anything having to 323 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: do with you other than your actual ability. If I 324 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: need a doctor, I don't care anything about the doctor 325 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: other than is the doctor a badass at what he 326 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: or she does? 327 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: Right? 328 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: That's all I care about. I don't care where you 329 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: went to school. I don't care what your religion is. 330 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: I don't care what kind of parent you are. I 331 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: care whether you are really good at your job. When 332 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: I get on an airplane, I don't care whether the 333 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: airplane pilot is of a different race, ethnicity, of religion 334 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: than I am. I care are they a badass if 335 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: flying an airplane? DEI is entirely focused on things other 336 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: than your ability to do the job. Meritocracy is all 337 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: that should matter in America, and the more significant the job, 338 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: the more it matters in the grand scheme of things. 339 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: Do we have the latest update? Video yet? Audio? Yet? Greg? 340 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: Here's cut twenty six This just happened, the absolute latest 341 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: on the New Orleans investigation. 342 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: Listen. 343 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: There were five videos posted on Jabbar's Facebook account, which 344 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 4: are time stamped, beginning at one twenty nine am and 345 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 4: the last at three h two am. In the first video, 346 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 4: Jabbar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends, 347 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 4: but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on 348 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 4: the quote war between the believers and the disbelievers end quote. Additionally, 349 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 4: he stated he had joined ISIS before this summer. He 350 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: also provided a will and testing. 351 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: Okay, this just again as there's more and more investigation 352 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: coming out about this guy. It seems quite clear that 353 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: he has been radicalized at some point in time, lived 354 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: in Houston, and had decided that he was going to 355 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: pledge his adherents to isis. He wanted to potentially kill 356 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: his family. I believe the reports are that he has 357 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: a twenty year old daughter and a fifteen year old 358 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: daughter and an ex wife, and that that family had 359 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: basically the ex wife and the kids had distanced themselves 360 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: from him because this guy had kind of gone crazy 361 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: and he wanted to kill his family. Who knows what 362 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: the reason for that was, but as the FBI is 363 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: reporting now, he said in the video that he wanted 364 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: everybody to understand that this was a war between believers 365 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: and non believers of the Muslim faith, and so that's 366 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: why he decided that he needed to kill as many 367 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: people as possible early in the morning of January first 368 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. And this is a calculated attempt. I mean, 369 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: there's lots of failures here that allowed this to occur. 370 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: For instance, there are supposed to be barriers that come 371 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: up that don't allow a car to be driven down 372 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: Bourbon Street, but they are in the process of getting 373 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: those replaced, and they weren't replaced in time for New 374 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: Year's Eve and or the Sugar Bowl, which is one 375 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: of the biggest events that goes on in New Orleans. Obviously, 376 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: Marty Garras is also huge. I will be down in 377 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: New Orleans in about a month. I've been down a 378 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: lot for big games. Super Bowl is taking place in 379 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: New Orleans. For those of you who don't know, I'll 380 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: be down there for that event. How incompetent is it 381 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: that you can't get guards up, meaning the barriers, the barricades, 382 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: and get it fixed and replaced in time for New 383 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: Years and the Sugar Bowl. I can't imagine that this 384 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: is some incredibly difficult construction process. And if I look, 385 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm not the mayor of New Orleans, but if you 386 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: came to me and you said, hey, we have to 387 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: fix these barricades to provide more security in the Free 388 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Quarter on Bourbon Street, I would say, Okay, let's get 389 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: it fixed sometime during the summer so that we're ready 390 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: for the biggest events of our calendar, which are the 391 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl New Year's I'd actually want it fixed for 392 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: the Saints games that take place in the Superdome. So 393 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: I'd like to get this fixed. Let's get it done 394 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: in the summer. May and June, not as busy in 395 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: New Orleans. Less likelihood of a tear attack could always happen, 396 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: but less likely in May or June. This guy drove 397 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: from Houston with the intent of killing as many people 398 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day, New Year's Night 399 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: turning into New Year's Day as possible, looking for an 400 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: opportunity with an ISIS flag flying in the back of 401 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: his truck. I'd also ask, are you really saying that 402 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: a guy joins ISIS in the summer and there's no 403 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: evidence that he joined ISIS between now and this terror attack? 404 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Somehow arresting people for January sixth, still for trespassing. Nobody 405 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: in the Houston FBI office became aware that this guy 406 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: might have been radicalized and become a member of ISIS. 407 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: He wasn't posting anything online. There was no evidence whatsoever 408 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: of his having joined a terrorist organization. How about on 409 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: Facebook he posts for hours in advance of what he's 410 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: going to do. Nobody sees those videos up on Facebook 411 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: till after he's killed people. Did he have no friends? 412 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: No one is out there again. So much of what 413 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: occurs here is about not recognizing true evil and being 414 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: aware of what legitimate threats in America look like. And 415 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: this guy killed fifteen people and wounded and maimed many more. 416 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of this dude. There are 417 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people who have pledged loyalty to ISIS 418 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: in this country right now, who saw what this guy 419 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: did and they want to do the same. There is 420 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: a lot of evil in America. We have allowed our 421 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: a lot of people to walk right across our southern border. 422 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: We have no idea who is even here. There are 423 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: going to be more of this guy. What are we 424 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: doing to stop that from happening? And where are our 425 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: resources and our focus actually going. The FBI's been in 426 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: investigating Milania Trump's underwear drawer. They've been taking photos all 427 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: over mar A Lago of Trump engaging in law fair 428 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: working with Jack Smith, I got a crazy idea, how 429 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: about we focus on actual bad guys. How about we 430 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: focus our resources on people that are actually trying to 431 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: kill us, that have pledged allegiance to ISIS. Is this 432 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: basic common sense. All crimes are not created equal. Some 433 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: people are a lot more dangerous potentially than others. I 434 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: feel awful for the families that had to wake up 435 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: on New Year's Day and find out that they're young 436 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: guy or girl and their family. A lot of these people, 437 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: frankly to me, are kids. You're under twenty five years old. 438 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: To me, you're still kind of a kid. 439 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 2: I know. 440 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: People immediately say, well, when you're eighteen, you're I get it, 441 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: But if you remember being nineteen or twenty, a lot 442 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: of people are still kids, right, even if you are 443 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: technically an adult. You're out celebrating New Year's Eve with 444 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: your buddies and this guy comes plowing through. There are 445 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: a lot more of him out there. What are we 446 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: doing to stop this from occurring elsewhere? And you know, 447 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: and I know, and unfortunately this is the reality. Anytime 448 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: we have an act like this, there oftentimes are a 449 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: lot of copycats because crazy people see. The reason I 450 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: try out to use these guys' names on this program 451 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: is crazy people will see this. They are immediately attracted 452 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: to the infamy of the killers, and it produces oftentimes 453 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: reverberations where other people engage in acts of violence as well. 454 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: A lot of times when we have a shooting incident, 455 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: there's another couple that come up very soon thereafter. What 456 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: are we doing to stop these people? I think there's 457 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: probably thousands of them. I don't think that's crazy. I'll 458 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: ask Nicole Parker in a couple of hours when she 459 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: comes on, how many people do we think are like 460 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: this guy in America right now? I don't think it's 461 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: crazy to believe there are thousands of ISIS adherents in 462 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: the United States right now. What are those people planning? 463 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: How much more deadly could their attacks be? And why 464 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: in the world have we been focused on arresting grandmas 465 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: and grandpas who walked into January sixth going through sending 466 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: our FBI agents to rummage through Milania Trump's underwear drawer, 467 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: arresting parents who go and speak at school board meetings, 468 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: and arresting people outside of abortion clinics when those people 469 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: are in no way actual dangers to the United States. 470 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: It just it infuriates me. 471 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: And right now, if you are listening to me, Congress 472 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: is getting sworn in tomorrow. Kash Pateel needs to be 473 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: in office as rapidly as possible. We got eighteen days 474 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: still of Joe Biden in office. I'm going to play 475 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: you some audio. We don't have an actual president. This 476 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: is a time of real danger. We need Trump's team 477 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: on the FBI, on the Secretary of State, on the 478 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense.

You have been spending a lot of 522 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: time talking about what has occurred in both New Orleans 523 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: and Las Vegas. But as a preliminary this is the 524 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: first time for you coming on the show. Thank you. 525 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: You and I met at mar A Lago about a 526 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: month or so ago. But for people who don't know 527 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: your background, introduce yourself to the audience. Happy New Year, 528 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. 529 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me. 530 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 5: It's my pleasure, and Happy New Year to you as well. 531 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 5: Fortunately we're speaking under these circumstances. But just by way 532 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 5: of background, Yes, I was an FBI special agent for 533 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 5: about thirteen years. I served in the Miami Field Office 534 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 5: and focused originally on white collar crime and then transferred 535 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 5: over to violent crime and worked the majority of my 536 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 5: career on violent crime. SOFTWOWRED is a violent crime Fugitive 537 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 5: Task Force and you know, responded to some pretty large 538 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: investigations that the FBI conducted to include you know, the 539 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 5: Fort Laudernelle Airport shooting, the susterciox pipe pom case, the 540 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 5: Marjorie some Me Douglas Parkland school shooting, and so, unfortunately, 541 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 5: tragedy is not something new to me. Prior to my 542 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 5: career in the FBI, I actually did work in finance 543 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 5: and on Wall Street, and I was a witness for 544 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 5: the nine to eleven terroist attacks in New York City. 545 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 5: I was working at Merrill Lynch at the time, and 546 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 5: it was because of that tragedy that I was inspired 547 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 5: to later go on and serve my country and join 548 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 5: the FBI. So here we are discussing a terrorist attack 549 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 5: that occurred, unfortunately on New Year's Day. I think that 550 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 5: all of us were very hopeful and optimistic for twenty 551 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 5: twenty five, that it could be a year of peace 552 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 5: and prosperity and help and success. I know when I 553 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 5: got the phone call. It was early, you know, New 554 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 5: Year's morning, and Fox called and said, hey, have you 555 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 5: heard about this attack? And I went for my morning run, 556 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 5: came right inside, turned on the news, and I've been 557 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 5: reporting on it ever since. 558 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: All right, we're talking to Nicole Parker. I want to 559 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: go back to your joining the FBI in the wake 560 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven. What did you see in your 561 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: thirteen year the FBI. In terms of the trajectory of 562 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: the FBI from the time you joined until the time 563 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: you left, was it the same organization. 564 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 5: No, it was not the same organization. When I originally joined, 565 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 5: I came in just as a patriot who loves America 566 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 5: and thought that could be a good way to serve 567 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 5: and give back. I mean, the morning of nine to eleven, 568 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 5: there were officers from NYPV that literally saved myself and 569 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 5: many others and directed us away from the World Trade Center, 570 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 5: away from the World Financial Center, and I just remembered thinking, 571 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 5: you know what, one day I want to give back, 572 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 5: and I thought that the FBI was a great vehicle 573 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 5: in order to serve my country. And when I originally 574 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 5: came in, I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if it 575 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 5: mattered what my political preferences were. And I was immediately 576 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 5: told no, no, it does not matter what the president is. 577 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 5: This is an apolitical organization. Whether you voted for Obama 578 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 5: or didn't vote for Obama, it's irrelevance because that was 579 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 5: the administration that I started with. The FBI was back 580 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 5: in twenty ten. I applied in two thousand and nine, 581 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 5: came in in twenty ten, I was told a political 582 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 5: don't worry about it. I come to the organization. I'm 583 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 5: working white collar, and I'll be honest. I loved it. 584 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 5: I was very passionate about what I was doing. I 585 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 5: didn't consider the FBI a job. I considered it a mission, 586 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 5: and I really felt that I was making an impactful 587 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 5: difference in this country. And then so I served under 588 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 5: the Obama administration. Then I went into the Trump administration. 589 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 5: And it was during the Trump administration that I actually 590 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 5: transferred over to violent crime. Actually, I was prior to that. 591 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 5: I worked under the Obama administration and Trump administration and 592 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 5: working violent crimes, and I can tell you I noticed 593 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 5: a substantial difference between the administration. When Trump came in, 594 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 5: he said, look, we have a violent crime problem in 595 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 5: this country and we need help. And I initially remembered 596 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 5: we were asked to do temporary asigns to Chicago at 597 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 5: the time. When Trump first came in. Trump's priority was 598 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 5: not to go after his political opponents. It was not 599 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 5: to go after Hillary Clinton, who's been given a pass. 600 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 5: It was not to go after any any of his opponents. 601 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 5: It was really to protect the American people. And I 602 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 5: thought that's just how it should be, right. So then 603 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 5: I served under the Trump administration when there's some awful 604 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 5: things to witness, some awful tragedies. But again I'm there 605 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 5: to serve the people, and that was our priority, was 606 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 5: protecting Americans, upholding the constitution. Then, you know with the 607 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 5: debacles that occurred behind the scenes, Clay, it was in 608 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen when things really started shifting with the Operation 609 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 5: Classify or Hurricane, also known as the Russia collusion hope. 610 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 5: But again, that was all happening in DC and in headquarters, 611 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 5: and that didn't involve me in Miami. Over the years, 612 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 5: the politicization of the FBI became so deafening that it 613 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 5: was impossible to do my job at a violent crime 614 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 5: agent in the Miami Division because it just kept the 615 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 5: nonsense that was happening on the political level was inhibiting 616 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 5: us on the rank and file trying to do the 617 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 5: real work. We were completely distracted by the nonsense going 618 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 5: on at the Washington Field Office headquarters and their places 619 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 5: dealing with politics. But again I just kept trying to 620 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 5: shout it out, not my problem. I'm not doing that, 621 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 5: I'm not involved in that. Then the Biden administration comes 622 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 5: in and there were some drastic changes again, and I 623 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 5: think from twenty sixteen on the SEI just never got 624 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 5: on track. 625 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 6: You know. 626 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 5: We went through Jim Comey, I worked under Mueller, Comy 627 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 5: and Ray, and from Operation Crossfire Hurricane, I just don't 628 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 5: believe that there was ever full accountability for those that 629 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 5: were involved in that, and so we were all hoping 630 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 5: Ray's going to come in and he's going to fix 631 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 5: it and we're going to get back on track. Unfortunately, 632 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 5: that's not what happened. Ray has not proven to be 633 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 5: a leader. He has not been proven to stand up 634 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 5: to Merrick Garland into a lot of its political nonsense. 635 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 5: Aside from the politicization, I think it's also important to 636 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 5: note that the FBI became socially weaponized as well. It 637 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 5: is woke the diversity initiatives going on at the agency. 638 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 5: I started to wonder if I worked for a social 639 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 5: justice warrior club rather than a law enforcement agency. And 640 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 5: that was particularly bad under the Biden administration. Closest friend 641 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 5: in the FBI, special Agent Laura Schusenberger, was shot and 642 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 5: killed in the line of duty February second of twenty 643 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 5: twenty one, right when Biden had just taken over, and 644 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 5: I never got a clear explanation as to what happened 645 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 5: to my friends. But every single day I got emails 646 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 5: about diversity clubs and initiatives, and I thought, why are 647 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 5: you not telling us what happened to two agents that 648 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 5: were killed in the line of duty, first time adversarial 649 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 5: deaths in fourteen years. They were killed protecting children, But 650 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 5: yet I get an email every day about diversity and 651 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 5: it just it was absolutely astounding to me. But the 652 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 5: social weaponization and the political weaponization, we just saw how 653 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 5: clearly they were going after Republicans, conservative Trump Trump supporters 654 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 5: over and over and over, yet they were turning a 655 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 5: blind eye to those on the opposite side of the 656 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 5: political spectrum. Summer of twenty twenty, FBI did virtually nothing 657 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 5: January sixth. They're still going full throttle on that four 658 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 5: years later. So if that gives you any indications, that's 659 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 5: kind of where I stood. It got so bad that 660 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 5: I said, you know what, I'm going to cut my 661 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 5: losses now and I'm going to leave the FBI. And 662 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 5: I think I can make a stronger impact outside of 663 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 5: the FBI than inside the agency. And it was bad 664 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 5: for me. Clay because I loved being an FBI agent. 665 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 5: I worked tirelessly and I did work with some amazing people, 666 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 5: but you know, they needed to stay they needed to 667 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 5: get their pensions. They kept their heads low, stay off 668 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 5: the radar, and I just thought, you know what, I'm 669 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 5: just not comfortable with what I'm seeing going on. And 670 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 5: what was I going to do? Call Christopher Ray and 671 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 5: tell them I don't agree with what's going on. We've 672 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 5: seen Christopher Ray testify before Congress multiple times and he 673 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 5: thinks everything at the agency is great. Nothing to see here. 674 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 5: So if you can't acknowledge that there's a problem, there's 675 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 5: a very low probability that that problem will ever be fixed. 676 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 5: And that was why I made the decision to walk away. 677 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: How much do you think the FBI's lack of focus 678 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: and direction and sometimes misdirection as you said, focused on 679 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: January sixth protesters outside of abortion clinics, school board meeting parents, certainly, 680 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: rummaging through the underwear drawer of Milania Trump and conducting 681 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: investigations of Trump himself has to do with missing actual 682 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: terrorists like the man who killed fifteen people in New Orleans. 683 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 5: So you know, I always am very fair I'm a 684 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 5: very fair and straight shooter. I have integrity, and when 685 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 5: I know the FBI is wrong, I will call them out. 686 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 5: I can tell you that terrorism counter terrorism cases are 687 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 5: very complex and difficult to work right, especially those that 688 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 5: involve ISIS, foreign terroists, organization groups. The FBI can a 689 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 5: lot of times have information on certain individuals, but until 690 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 5: they make an action and they act out and they 691 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 5: commit a criminal act, they can't just go arrest people 692 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 5: that might be on their radar. From what I understand 693 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 5: based on the press conference today by the FBI, which 694 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 5: by the way, was substantially better than the ones yesterday, 695 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 5: because yesterday. 696 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 2: Was Yeah, let me ask you about that. 697 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: The agent who got up and said there's no terrorism here, 698 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: it's not a terrorism incident, despite the fact you have 699 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: an ISIS flag, they took photos of it, all of 700 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: those things. 701 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 2: How does that happen? 702 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 6: Like? 703 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 2: What what do you think is going on? 704 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: The difference they had a new person speaking today compared 705 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: to yesterday. 706 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just gonna be blunt and honest. I actually 707 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 5: know that agent that was on yesterday. She used to 708 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 5: be in the Miami division. And I like to think, 709 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 5: you know, I like to get people the benefit of 710 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 5: the doubt. I'm sure she was under a lot of 711 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 5: pressure and a lot of stress. All I'm going to 712 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 5: say is that when you are put in a position 713 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 5: to represent the FBI, no one it's perfect, but you 714 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 5: need to have your ducks in a row, and you 715 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 5: need to know what you're talking about. And we need 716 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 5: to make sure that the FBI is promoting those that 717 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 5: should be promoted based on merit, and if you are not, 718 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 5: you know, those cracks start to show in high stress 719 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 5: situations like that. I always like to be fair. You know, 720 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 5: if it was if I was walking in her shoes, 721 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 5: that would be very difficult. But at the same time, 722 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 5: that was wrong what she did. I was out there 723 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 5: on sop immediately after trying to say, you know what, 724 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 5: this actually is terrorism, and she was refuting exactly what 725 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 5: you know, the locals had just said and what the 726 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 5: mayor had just said, and she said it with such 727 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 5: definitive statement, this is not terrorism. It absolutely was terrorism. 728 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 5: It is terrorism. And I think the FBI realized very 729 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 5: quickly that was bad and that they needed to bring 730 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 5: someone down from headquarters, which they did, and thankfully this individual, 731 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 5: Christopher Ray, not to be confused with Christopher Ray came 732 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 5: in into this press conference and it was substantially better. 733 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 5: He has experience. He talked about how he responded to 734 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 5: I believe the Boston Marathon. That's the problem that the FBI. 735 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 5: Americans lack confidence in the FBI because you put someone 736 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 5: out there for a press conference and they're giving you 737 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 5: false information and that doesn't really you know, it's fire 738 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 5: a lot of trust and. 739 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 2: How much difference do you think. 740 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 5: Don't trust the FBI, then that's a problem. It just 741 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 5: makes things worse. 742 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: That's a that's a really important point, the lack of trust. 743 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: I know most people frankly listening to us right now 744 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,959 Speaker 1: now don't trust the FBI, and that is an incredible, 745 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: uh communication deficit that the FBI is going to have 746 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: to make up. And that trust deficit, how much difference 747 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: do you think the director being cash Ptel would make 748 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: based on your knowledge? 749 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 5: I just at this point, honestly, I I hope and 750 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 5: pray that there are drastic reforms at the FBI. And 751 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,439 Speaker 5: I trust President Trump. He is very wise, he knows 752 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 5: what he's doing. I know last time he listened to 753 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 5: certain individuals and put in Christopher Ray. I think this 754 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 5: time around, I just want to believe it's going to 755 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 5: get better because frankly, it really cannot get worse. And 756 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 5: let me make this very clear, there are two fbis. Okay, 757 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 5: ATBI one, I kind of coin these phrases. At BI one, 758 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 5: these are the honest, hardworking rank and file agents that 759 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 5: are trying to do the right thing for the right. 760 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: Ru What percentage of FBI employees do you think are 761 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: in that group that hard working trying to do the 762 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: right side. 763 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 2: How would you break it down? Percentage? 764 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 5: Right, people that want nothing to do with the politics, 765 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 5: They just want to serve the American people, Versus FBI two, 766 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 5: which are people that are woke, politically weaponized. Sometimes they're 767 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 5: in leadership roles, sometimes they're just a rank and file analyst. 768 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 5: It's not just people up in DC. That needs to 769 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 5: be made very clear as well. FBI two has infiltrated 770 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 5: all the field offices at various levels. So it's really 771 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 5: kind of more your approach FBI one versus FBI two. 772 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 5: I would say at this point, I would have said 773 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 5: in the past, you know, eighty twenty FBI one eighty percent, 774 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 5: FBI two twenty percent. I'd say, now with solid fifty fifty. 775 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 776 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 5: Again hard for me to know. But we just need 777 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 5: hard working, solid agents because you know, Clay, it's not 778 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 5: just you know, what is your political Are you a 779 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 5: hard worker? Were you hired based on merit? Because they 780 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 5: have dropped the hiring standards. The FBI denies it, but 781 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 5: I look at the hiring standard and I've disfected them 782 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 5: and they have drop the hiring standards, and so it's 783 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 5: really just the people that are there. Are you qualified, 784 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 5: are you working hard? Are are you putting your political 785 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 5: and social opinions at the door when you walk in? Okay? 786 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 5: Because look, I don't care who you're supporting. I don't 787 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 5: care what your political opinion is. It shouldn't matter, Lady. 788 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 5: Justice should be blind. But there are a lot of 789 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 5: people that are incapable of doing that. And when we 790 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 5: are watching FBI agents in the Washington Field office kneeling 791 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 5: to BLM protesters in the summer of twenty twenty in 792 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 5: their SBI vests on official duty, that is unacceptable. When 793 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 5: we are seeing patterns of this type of behavior. And 794 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 5: you know what, Clay, those individuals, many of them actually 795 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 5: got promoted to very highly thought after positions. They were 796 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 5: offered one hundred dollars gift cards from the FBI Agents Association. 797 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 5: Afterwards they decline them. But this is the kind of 798 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 5: stuff they reward. Bad behavior has to change. The time 799 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 5: for change and FBI one. They are sick and tired 800 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 5: of it because you know what, when you're trying to 801 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 5: do the right thing for the right reason and no 802 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 5: one trusts you, that's how it became for me. I 803 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 5: kept having to justify who I was and say, oh, no, no, no, 804 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 5: I'm not like Peter Struck and leaves the page like 805 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 5: I have nothing to do with them. People didn't even 806 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 5: trust me. I'm not there trying to recruit sources to 807 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 5: report on Deman trafficking. No one even wants to work 808 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 5: for me. They hear FBI, they slam the door in 809 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 5: your face. There needs to be FBI. Oh my gosh, 810 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 5: Like respect now not so much. And I'm being honest 811 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 5: with you. There are good people holding the line at 812 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 5: the FBI. But we need to get the percentage back 813 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 5: to one hundred percent FBI one. We don't want two 814 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 5: fbis anymore. America deserves FBI one, one hundred percent. The 815 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 5: taxpayers are the boss, and that's the problem. With the FBI. 816 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 5: They always think needs of the bureau. No, it's actually 817 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 5: needs of the American people. Because at the end of 818 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 5: the day, I am sworn, I take a note, and 819 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 5: I am I swear to and I pulled the Constitution 820 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 5: and protect the American people. Frankly, they are my boss. 821 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 5: By victims. That should be my number one priority, Not 822 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 5: pushing my political and social agendas on America, not going 823 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 5: after my political opponents. That's wrong. We need to back 824 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 5: at the FBI and leadership. 825 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:17,240 Speaker 2: Amen. 826 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: I know you've told President Trump all this. I think 827 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: it's going to make a huge difference. We'll talk to 828 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: you again soon.

Senator, what 855 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 1: should people know about security measures? About the game itself? 856 00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: You're going, You'll be there in the Superdome is the 857 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: latest right There. 858 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 6: Is no place safer to be right now in the 859 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 6: United States of America than the Superdome. There's going to 860 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,800 Speaker 6: be so many police, there's going to be National Guard. 861 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 6: It's the place has been swept once twice. Right. If 862 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 6: you want to go have a good time, go to 863 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 6: the Bourbon Street afterwards, or go to the game right now. Uh, 864 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 6: there's just no place more secure and clay for obvious reasons. 865 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 6: The terror is just that I have to disrupt the 866 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 6: fabric of American life, and the American people are not 867 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 6: going to allow that fabricy to be disrupted. And they're 868 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 6: sending the message no doubt. 869 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 1: And I know it's going to be an electric scene 870 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: inside of that football stadium as the game begins. Where 871 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 1: were you when you heard about the terror attack? What 872 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: is the latest that our listeners should know millions of 873 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,760 Speaker 1: people out there across America. 874 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 6: Well, I was crawling out of bed and got some 875 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 6: to learn on my phone about a mass casualty in 876 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 6: New Orleans. And so then open it up and say, whoa, 877 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 6: this is what is this fight for? Real? Uh? And 878 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 6: so after that begin making phone calls, contacting the Mayor 879 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 6: of New Orleans, office support, calling law enforcement, et cetera, 880 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 6: to make sure at an early briefing most in fact, 881 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 6: everything that I first learned is now either in the 882 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 6: public sphere or it's been shown to be not true. 883 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 6: Some of the stuff just wasn't relevant. But now we 884 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,280 Speaker 6: know that the guy was acting by himself. The IED's 885 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 6: were placed in coolers. He is on video himself placing 886 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 6: the coolers. Some people have walked by and opened it 887 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 6: up and see what was in there, The FBI agent 888 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 6: said on the telephone call. He presumed they were looking 889 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 6: for alcohol. I guess he's been on Bourbon Street, New 890 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 6: Orleans and three in the morning before. Anyway, they opened up, 891 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 6: didn't see anything, kept moving, But there's video that this 892 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 6: guy set him by himself, and they traced it down. 893 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 6: I say that because the game was postponed, they were 894 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 6: fearful that there might be others out there. Apparently there's 895 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 6: no others out there. This guy was a lone wolf. 896 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 2: Are you confident in the FBI. 897 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 6: I'm going to be confident when the case is wrapped up. 898 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 6: One thing, I know, they're pouring every single resource they 899 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 6: have into this from Las Vegas right now, and not 900 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 6: only their own resources. They're collaborating with the local law 901 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 6: enforcement and state law enforcement. I say that because every 902 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 6: parish in Louisiana has license plate readers between on the ITN, 903 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 6: so they've been able to track this guy's movements all 904 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 6: the way from Houston on the IN to New Orleans 905 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 6: on the ITN, and they're collaborating with state police as well. 906 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 6: So I will be confident when the case is totally 907 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,840 Speaker 6: wrapped up. One thing I know, they're coordinating actively with 908 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 6: state and local law enforcement and they're putting everything they 909 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 6: have into it. 910 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans is going to be hosting the super Bowl 911 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: in addition to Marty Garras, which is always a huge festival. 912 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 1: Are you confident that New Orleans will be able to 913 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 1: protect people who are coming into town for that event 914 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: in about a month. 915 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 6: So let's talk first about the Superdome super Bowl. Keep 916 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 6: in mind that one of the reasons that the barricade 917 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 6: was a police car and not actual polls taken out 918 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 6: of the ground was they're upgrading the security for the 919 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:22,359 Speaker 6: super Bowl, and so the super Bowl, the Sugar Bowl 920 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 6: has a great level of security, turns out not good enough. 921 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 6: The super Bowl had even more so, and that's why 922 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 6: they were preparing for that extra level. I can promise you, 923 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 6: given the events that have occurred today. It's going to 924 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 6: be even more so than it ordinarily would be for 925 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. And by the way, that's no matter 926 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 6: what city this will be in. Once terrorists get the 927 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 6: idea that they can go after soft targets, they're going 928 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 6: to go out to soft targets. So there's a kind 929 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 6: of an imitation. And I'm told there's an imitation Mardi 930 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 6: Gras Parade in Seattle, Washington, God blessed. That's great. Enjoy yourself, Washington, 931 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 6: take a little take them Louisiana up there. But that 932 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 6: is a tough target and they need to be just 933 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 6: as aware that a terrorist will see that as a 934 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 6: soft target as we will in Louisiana. Going back to Martigrode, 935 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 6: tell I'm sure there's going to be extra precautions, absolutely, 936 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,760 Speaker 6: and there should be. We'll still have a great time, 937 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 6: but that's going to be extra precautions because, as you know, 938 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 6: the Madi grass all over the city. But there will 939 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 6: be extra precautions. 940 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 1: How important tomorrow the new Congress gets sworn in. You're 941 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: a part of a fifty three vote majority in the 942 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: United States Senate for a Republican party. How important is 943 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 1: it to get Trump's team cash, Ptel and others into 944 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: positions to be able to defend the United States as 945 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. 946 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 6: We got to have the leaders of our Intelligence Committee, competent, 947 00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 6: good leaders of the Intelligence Committee in as soon as possible. 948 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 6: I think it'll be a little bit like after in 949 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 6: this sense, on the on the Intelligence Committee side, like 950 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 6: after the Great Financial Crisis and Obama came in and 951 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 6: took over Republican Democrats, they all collaborated and getting his 952 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 6: finance team on board because they recognize that given the circumstances, 953 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 6: that he wanted to have his team in right away. 954 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 6: So and he put up good people. So we need 955 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,839 Speaker 6: good people in there as. 956 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 2: Fast despot Senator. Who's going to win today? Georgia or 957 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:32,919 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. 958 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 6: You know, I'm an FCC guy, so normally I wrote 959 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 6: root for Root for Georgia. I'm a little tired of 960 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 6: the dogs that gotten a little arrogant with their success. 961 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,720 Speaker 6: I'm probably before them, but I gotta admit the dogs 962 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 6: that had you. I've had you up to hear. 963 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: Who's going to have a better year, Donald Trump or 964 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly in twenty twenty five. 965 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, they're both gonna have good years. I 966 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 6: how so, Brian Kelly, is I think gonna set himself 967 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 6: up with success. I want the president to be successful. 968 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 6: It's important for our country that Donald Trump is successful. 969 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 6: And as a Senator from Louisiana, I'm gonna do what 970 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 6: I can to help the guy be successful. 971 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Bill Cassidy. What else should people 972 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: know about what happened in New Orleans? From your perspective? 973 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,760 Speaker 1: A little over an hour from the big game kicking 974 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl in the Superdome, they are the 975 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl. What else should our audience know? 976 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 6: Our audience should know that the most important thing we 977 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 6: can to do. We need to support the people who 978 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 6: are injured, the family of those who are killed. We 979 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 6: need to honor the police and the first responders. And 980 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 6: then we've got to live at liberty and freedom. The 981 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 6: terrorists win. If we begin to live in fear, I 982 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 6: wouldn't plan to go to the game, and I'm saying, 983 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 6: by God, I'm going to the game. We cannot let 984 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 6: the terrorists win because if they do, our way of 985 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:55,800 Speaker 6: life is disrupted. They feel as if they have a 986 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 6: victory if we live with bravery, and then they know 987 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,759 Speaker 6: they've lost. The most important thing for us right now 988 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,320 Speaker 6: is to live with bravery and freedom. 989 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 1: Amen, Senator, enjoy the game.
