Happy New Year—here’s your chaos.
In this episode, Ryan tackles America’s rising extremism with a side of sarcasm and an unapologetic callout of media bias and FBI priorities. From ISIS-inspired car attacks and underreported mass shootings to a Tesla explosion near a Trump property, he asks what no one else will: Are we just getting started?

00:00:00
But this guy drives a Tesla truck into front of a Trump
00:00:05
building in Vegas. I think it's a hotel.
00:00:08
I'm not sure what the building looks like in Vegas.
00:00:09
I didn't see it when I was there, but he left it there.
00:00:12
And then of course he sets off an explosive and it blows up.
00:00:17
Well right before he set it off there's footage of him shooting
00:00:20
himself. Like I always say, I wish these
00:00:23
two assholes would have killed themselves.
00:00:25
Made it painful before they. Decided to take innocent lives
00:00:30
there was a nightclub a shooting outside of a nightclub in New
00:00:34
York in Queens, NY on the 1st at 11:30 at night so almost the
00:00:39
second this is last night I believe came out today the story
00:00:45
so. 3:00 to 4:00. Men.
00:00:46
Not one driving a truck. Not one who pulled in with a
00:00:49
Tesla. Three to four men shot in a
00:00:53
crowd of people out in Queens. Ten people were injured, ages 16
00:00:58
to 20. You might think what were they
00:01:00
doing outside of club? Apparently it was an all ages
00:01:02
club and they were having a private event.
00:01:08
Welcome to Stay in the Grade podcast.
00:01:10
We explore news that gets people talking by blending comedy and
00:01:14
controversy. I'm Ryan.
00:01:28
And I'm Trey. Together, we dive into tough
00:01:30
topics with a combination of humor and some insight.
00:01:35
To join us as we navigate the Gray areas of the world and
00:01:38
we're engaging in real conversation.
00:01:41
Come get to know us. Good evening everybody.
00:01:45
It could be morning wherever you are.
00:01:47
Not sure when you're listening to this, but good.
00:01:51
Whatever it is, I'm trying to have a good evening.
00:01:54
I can't seem to shake this sore throat and cough that I've got.
00:02:00
And the family keeps kind of recycling.
00:02:04
And so we're getting better. But that will not stop me from
00:02:09
giving you what you need, which is some stay in the grade
00:02:11
podcast. So off we go.
00:02:14
Let's go to the headline that made it through editing.
00:02:18
I like this one. Two sisters reunited after 18
00:02:21
years at checkout counter. I'm going to go ahead and say
00:02:24
that they meant after 18 years, they reunited at a checkout
00:02:30
counter. Come on editors, we got to get
00:02:35
this rolling here. But these amuse me.
00:02:37
And when the list is over, anybody that doesn't like these,
00:02:40
you'll be good to go. I'll find a different list and
00:02:43
another one to annoy you just as much.
00:02:46
Let's let's go right to the butthurt comments to the show
00:02:48
tonight. They're getting good.
00:02:50
I admit you guys are getting good, annoying good, but good to
00:02:55
you know, did Twitter seems to X Excuse me, seems to be the place
00:03:00
because both sides are going crazy.
00:03:01
The the losing side is crying. Well, they are and and I say
00:03:05
sides. I mean, I'm the one that doesn't
00:03:07
want sides to everything, but it is they're sides to everything.
00:03:11
Everything. You could take a household
00:03:15
cereal. I'm just going to go with Golden
00:03:17
Grahams. Does anybody remember that?
00:03:18
Those are my favorite. Or you know, Frosted Flakes and
00:03:21
say the liberals like Frosted Flakes.
00:03:24
The conservatives don't. And fuck you if you think
00:03:27
otherwise. That's what it's like right now.
00:03:29
I'm not sure why I want high pitch there, but it's a mess.
00:03:34
And so that's all over X and and everything I post, it gets kind
00:03:38
of this, you know, I'm just waiting for it.
00:03:40
I'm waiting for the one person. My problem is I want
00:03:43
interaction, I want to talk. And so I talk and then I get to
00:03:45
be a smart ass. And sometimes what I say, it
00:03:49
goes over people's heads. They don't understand context,
00:03:52
they they don't understand reading comprehension and so on.
00:03:56
And this is what leads me to the, to this gentleman here.
00:03:59
And I only honestly, I had to kind of sit back and go, maybe
00:04:02
this guy's got issues and maybe I should just let it go.
00:04:08
But if this guy doesn't have issues, then he, he doesn't need
00:04:11
to be on social media. He doesn't know how to do it.
00:04:13
And sure enough, he was on since Sept, only September.
00:04:18
And he had 22 whole followers and 120 total posts.
00:04:23
And in the X world, that's, that's not a lot.
00:04:26
And that's fine. You don't have to have a certain
00:04:28
amount of followers. I'm trying to grow.
00:04:31
It's hard. It's hard on, on X to get that
00:04:34
reach. But the naivety was there for
00:04:39
this guy and he he was using online terms like troll and
00:04:43
different things incorrectly. And it was just obvious that he
00:04:46
was trying really hard to be a part of the ex family.
00:04:51
So let me get to it. As we all know.
00:04:55
Well, we haven't got there yet. I'm actually going to do this
00:04:58
reverse. We got this this story we're
00:05:00
going to talk about tonight. Sadly, it has to do with another
00:05:05
truck plowing through people and you know what I'm going to talk
00:05:08
about so we'll get there. But this is about the camera
00:05:12
that caught after the fact, which I didn't know caught the
00:05:18
truck as it was doing what it what it what I'll explain later,
00:05:21
which is turned into a crowd, the CCTV.
00:05:24
So it's like these these cameras that are retail stores and are
00:05:28
security cameras. Well, this one looked like it
00:05:31
like it was just really comfort, a expansive area.
00:05:35
And and I was questioning that. And, and I was also questioning
00:05:39
then I get it. You know, I missed the part
00:05:41
where they kind of showed the side of it where it was on a, on
00:05:44
a security tape And, and for all I saw was the part where it was
00:05:49
just following the truck. And I said, well, how'd they
00:05:50
know that was the truck? Is that a stupid question?
00:05:53
And I didn't see this, that it was their surveillance tape.
00:05:55
So forgive me, people, but man, people aren't going to miss an
00:06:00
opportunity to tell you that you missed something.
00:06:03
And besides all the assholes, they were just like, what a
00:06:04
dumb, what a stupid question. You know, dumbass, if somebody
00:06:07
was filming it, I have more questions.
00:06:09
How how did somebody get access to these?
00:06:12
What seemed to meet like important tapes after such a
00:06:15
tragedy, such a catastrophic event where a truck plows
00:06:19
through a bunch of people? Seems like those tapes should be
00:06:22
a little more secure. And this came out very quickly.
00:06:26
So I was questioning that and this guy, he just First off, I
00:06:31
don't know why everybody thinks they're CCTV professionals.
00:06:34
I don't know if they if everybody installs them.
00:06:36
I don't know what what, but everybody thought they knew the
00:06:38
whole process. Oh, it happens all the time.
00:06:41
Well, really, do you know, are you CCTV employee?
00:06:44
Do you work for them or for the companies that produce them?
00:06:47
I don't even know. But anyway, this guy comes on
00:06:50
and he's just immediately tries to respond.
00:06:52
And I said, well, yeah, but you know, questioning the the size
00:06:56
of these cameras and, you know, should should somebody and he
00:06:59
just all of a sudden went off and he's like, you're are you
00:07:02
just a troll or a, or a Russian bot?
00:07:05
And and it just like by head, I said, I said, wow, I thought for
00:07:10
once I was going to have a conversation with somebody.
00:07:13
I mean, he he responded, then I responded, I said, oh, maybe
00:07:15
this will be somebody good that can, I don't know, fill me in on
00:07:19
CCTV, bro. If you know it, let me know all
00:07:22
about it. But instead it was I'm all these
00:07:25
things. And again, you came on to my
00:07:28
post. How am I the troll?
00:07:30
Were you calling me the troll for it?
00:07:32
It made no sense. This poor guy made no sense.
00:07:37
That's all I'll say. The butter comments section
00:07:39
tonight are people that for whatever reason, they they are
00:07:44
very uncomfortable with anybody just disagrees and and they
00:07:48
immediately they can't see context.
00:07:50
They can't see that I'm literally just asking.
00:07:53
They immediately jumped to the this guy must be being a being a
00:07:56
smart ass or this guy must be conspiracy theories.
00:07:59
That's what have fun on your conspiracy theory podcast.
00:08:03
Well, I don't mind you goods conspiracy theory, but that's
00:08:06
not what this was. I mean, is it weird to ask why
00:08:08
somebody had the ability to post a surveillance video of a truck
00:08:13
that plowed into a bunch of people and killed 14?
00:08:18
Is it weird to ask how someone got access to it that fast?
00:08:23
I don't think so. So fuck you to this guy.
00:08:25
And, you know, continue to try and learn how to be on social
00:08:30
media. But that was about her comment.
00:08:31
I mean, simple as that. I, I don't, I don't want to go
00:08:33
any further, but it's just really read posts before you
00:08:37
comment. That's all I'm going to say.
00:08:38
It's as simple as that. Really read it, dissect it, take
00:08:42
your time with it before you say something stupid because I went
00:08:46
back down to make sure I didn't look stupid.
00:08:48
Can't have that. And although I look mean at
00:08:51
times like my former Co host Trey, I used to point out on X,
00:08:56
usually it's X. You know, I'm I mean back.
00:08:59
It is very rarely when you see me jump on unless it's a.
00:09:02
Few. Of these paid pundit liberals,
00:09:04
like these twin dudes that are shortened in some New Jersey to
00:09:08
dyke that are just paid pundits and they just, they get to me.
00:09:13
Besides that, any given person that I just kind of go on and
00:09:16
talk to. I am not going to be the
00:09:19
initiator of a name calling, things like that.
00:09:23
And and it's it's going to be a defense and I need to work on
00:09:26
that because who gives a shit about these people?
00:09:29
That's the mindset I need to have.
00:09:30
So I admit it's one of my goals for 2025 and we're on day 2.
00:09:38
It's maybe been a little better, but I I can continue through the
00:09:42
new, through this new year and in through 2025 to get better at
00:09:47
not responding in a mean way to you fucking assholes.
00:09:50
Let's move on to news. Two sips of the drink.
00:10:02
Don't forget tonight I went with my kids.
00:10:08
Pineapple, Pineapple explosion juice with a little vodka.
00:10:15
Can't drink too much. I'm getting over this cold.
00:10:18
All right. A woman named Carol Germain.
00:10:23
She lives in France, if you couldn't tell by the name, in
00:10:26
Breast, France, which is a great name, by the way.
00:10:28
If I moved to France, it's going to be to Breast.
00:10:31
And she adopted a she's a bar owner local pub in in breast
00:10:37
seems like a good gig. However, she adopted a pig in
00:10:41
2020 and she named it Couscous. It's probably you know, people
00:10:47
tell me I didn't look it up and that was silly of me.
00:10:50
Couscous is that a French thing is that is that silly to ask and
00:10:53
in turn not to be attacking me because I got that wrong, but it
00:10:59
must be. So she named it Couscous, which
00:11:02
isn't a bad eye like Couscous, and it sparked a business
00:11:07
venture which which is pig pedicurist.
00:11:10
However you want to look at it, whether they're hands or feet,
00:11:12
there's four of them on a pig, if you didn't know.
00:11:17
So now she travels all over France to trim tusks and hooves
00:11:21
of these pigs, so much so that she's selling the bar.
00:11:27
This is a full time gig is pig pedicurist.
00:11:32
That's right. That's right.
00:11:32
I did it right. Pig pedicurist.
00:11:35
And this is her quote. It's nuts.
00:11:37
I thought the only person who had one hogging the couch.
00:11:43
But there are thousands of people.
00:11:45
One trip she took, there were 43 pigs on one trip that she took
00:11:49
care of. Good for her.
00:11:51
I mean, you found your calling. I still don't understand why
00:11:53
that many people have pigs. I don't necessarily.
00:11:55
I don't think I believe that it's thousands, but she probably
00:11:58
has a monopoly on that industry so good for her.
00:12:01
And even if she only found 43 pigs, she probably could run a
00:12:04
business with those 43 pigs. But good luck to her and France
00:12:08
and my love hate relationship with the French.
00:12:11
Good luck. Here's another great name,
00:12:14
Etienne Constable. This is an American or at least
00:12:18
lives here now in California, in Seaside, CA and this person got
00:12:23
a letter and this is just a kind of a funny one.
00:12:25
I'm trying to lighten the mood after the bullshit and the
00:12:27
things we're about to talk about.
00:12:29
ATN Constable got a letter from the city Seaside and it said you
00:12:34
need to conceal the boat that is in your driveway.
00:12:38
By the way, it had been there for on and off for four years.
00:12:40
He only removed it when he took it out to the into the water,
00:12:43
but he had no never had an issue.
00:12:45
But all of a sudden he gets a letter.
00:12:46
So you got him. You got to move the boat,
00:12:48
conceal it with A at least 6 foot fence that goes up and then
00:12:54
down the side of the driveway so that no one can see the side of
00:12:56
the boat either. So he said very well and
00:12:59
constable install the fence based on the guidelines that
00:13:03
they stated. So then he hired a neighbor who
00:13:06
happened to be Hani Pani Paani, who is AI think a semi famous
00:13:11
mural artist, and he had Pani paint the boat the realistic
00:13:20
image as if there was no fence there on the fence and basically
00:13:28
beat the system, ladies and gentlemen, if you will, because
00:13:30
technically there is no law about painting your fence.
00:13:33
Maybe now there will be. But the the city manager said, I
00:13:36
actually admire the work. The I I love art.
00:13:40
The only action that I'll take will be a high 5.
00:13:43
That's thinking outside the boat.
00:13:46
I had to do it. Let's move on.
00:13:49
This is an interesting one that actually does play into things.
00:13:53
So anybody heard of Joshua? It's either Gillies or Giles.
00:13:58
I I knew of Giles back in high school and I think that that may
00:14:01
be it. But he's a, a Christian prophet.
00:14:05
That's what he he's a self claimed prophet.
00:14:07
I I believe proclaimed and he predicted Israel, the Hamas
00:14:13
attack, but he predicted it in 2020 and he got it pretty
00:14:17
accurate. So he's got, he's one of these
00:14:20
that has a lot of things that he's gotten right with his
00:14:24
predictions. My first response, he says that
00:14:28
this was in 2020. And that's why I was kind of
00:14:29
like, OK, cool. If you said it a month ago, I'd
00:14:32
be like, well, no shit. He said 2025 could usher in a
00:14:36
new era of war for the world that we've never seen.
00:14:40
Then right off the bat, again, you say, well, you know, I can
00:14:44
predict that and, and hope it, you know, and, and not hope, but
00:14:47
know that there's a big chance of it happening with the way
00:14:50
things are going. And so you look at some of his
00:14:54
predictions, the Hamas attacks, like I said, the terrorist
00:14:58
activity that we've had on US soil and, and abroad, he's
00:15:01
gotten a lot of those correct too, within days of each other.
00:15:07
So it's impressive. I mean, you know, the good news
00:15:09
is he's also predicting some cures for some some medical
00:15:13
issues and one of them is certain forms of cancer.
00:15:16
So I hope he's right there. I don't hope he's right about
00:15:19
the war, the World War, but I hope he's right about us curing
00:15:24
some things because with all the money we have and all the
00:15:27
technology, we should be doing that shit, not half the crap we
00:15:29
do as a government and as a different world governments.
00:15:34
But it's up to you. I don't know if you believe him,
00:15:37
but he wrote a book. Just look it up.
00:15:40
I don't have the title. Joshua Giles, and we'll see.
00:15:44
We'll see what happens. But tell you what you know,
00:15:46
Russia's pushing back a little on Donald.
00:15:48
And of course, Zonald's saying I'm not giving you more money to
00:15:52
Zelensky. And then Biden just signed him
00:15:53
another some billion dollars to Zelensky.
00:15:58
Technically, he can still do it for another 18 days or whatever
00:16:01
it is. 18 days, My God, And it's just a mess.
00:16:06
That's just one conflict, much less the other ones that are
00:16:09
going on. But we're not talking about that
00:16:11
tonight. We're talking about other
00:16:12
conflicts. So let's get to it.
00:16:16
Bourbon Street, New Orleans. I've, I've been there a few
00:16:19
times and it's a delight to a point.
00:16:23
I think it's a delight to visit. I don't know if I could live
00:16:25
around there and go there a lot, but obviously New Year's is one
00:16:28
of their big events. It's a good spot to be for New
00:16:31
Year's if you want to party. That's a better way to put it.
00:16:35
I don't think I want to be there at age, whatever I am.
00:16:38
But some people did. So you have a man named
00:16:43
Shamsuddin Jabbar. He's a 42 year old man.
00:16:49
He's from Texas and he was a military army in the military.
00:16:57
He spent some time at Fort Bragg around 3:15 in the morning.
00:17:01
I guess people were still out. Man, it's a lot because he got,
00:17:04
he got to a very, very crowded area on Bourbon Street.
00:17:07
And I forget the crossroad, but he got to Bourbon Street and he
00:17:10
plowed. He just, you see it on the
00:17:12
video, he just turns and plows into everybody.
00:17:14
And so he killed 14 people, I think 36 are injured and various
00:17:22
levels. I didn't, I didn't see if
00:17:24
anybody was critical, but I believe there's some, there are
00:17:26
some decent injuries out of this, which will happen if you
00:17:31
drive a truck through a group of people.
00:17:34
So for a long time, the FBI was saying that this doesn't look
00:17:38
like he acted alone. This act looks like he had
00:17:41
multiple people involved. Let's trace it back to his house
00:17:45
in in South Central Texas, which is actually close to going to to
00:17:50
university down in College Station.
00:17:52
It's actually just kind of between there and Houston and
00:17:55
that region. And then all of a sudden they're
00:17:57
like, no, he acted alone. So I don't know.
00:18:00
I mean, I, I'm getting kind of annoyed with the FBI and with
00:18:03
some of these. It doesn't seem like they're
00:18:05
they either either don't say shit or maybe just make sure
00:18:09
before you tell me that there's could be four or five other
00:18:12
people involved in this that everybody needs to whatever they
00:18:14
move the Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl between Georgia
00:18:17
and Notre Dame was supposed to be that night, and they moved it
00:18:21
24 hours or close to 24 hours so they could get higher security
00:18:26
and to make sure everything was good.
00:18:28
Well, you know, I, I don't know, I mean, how, how it affected the
00:18:31
teams. I know that that happened.
00:18:34
The game is over. And for anybody recording and
00:18:37
hoping to watch it a couple days later and not find out too bad,
00:18:42
spoiler alert, Notre Dame ended up beating Georgia and it I
00:18:46
didn't watch it, but by the score, it looked like they they
00:18:48
handled Georgia, which is a big deal.
00:18:51
Would it have been different if the game had been played when it
00:18:54
should have been played? Was this on any of the players
00:18:56
minds? Did it affect the game?
00:18:58
Now that's that's unimportant in the big picture when it comes to
00:19:03
people dying and and this issue that we have in this country.
00:19:06
But that is something. And so, but the big deal is on
00:19:10
the back of his truck was in fact an ISIS flag on his
00:19:15
Facebook, authorities found support for ISIS.
00:19:19
Anybody that know what ISIS is? I don't know why you wouldn't,
00:19:23
but if you don't, it's a terrorist organization, one of
00:19:26
the larger ones that have repeatedly yelled for jihad,
00:19:33
which is religious war against the West and Christians and
00:19:38
Jews. So we've obviously had our share
00:19:43
of terrorist issues with ISIS, with Al Qaeda, Taliban, now
00:19:48
you've got Hamas and Houthi and there's a bunch of terrorist
00:19:52
organizations. But ISIS is one of the one of
00:19:54
the the big boys and one of the ones that we don't like because
00:19:59
they don't like us for not being not sharing the exact same
00:20:03
religious views that they do. But.
00:20:07
He said that he joined ISIS back before the summer and he
00:20:10
originally planned this is in a typed somewhere.
00:20:14
This wasn't obviously he died so he didn't wasn't interviewed
00:20:18
after he was shot. The police did shoot him by the
00:20:21
way and get and killed him after he got out of his truck and
00:20:23
started firing his gun. So why not plow through
00:20:26
everybody and then start firing a gun?
00:20:29
Obviously he was prepared to die, but he said he was going to
00:20:32
kill his family, but it wouldn't that wouldn't have focused on
00:20:36
the war between believers and non believers.
00:20:40
And obviously what he means there is believers of what he
00:20:43
believes and anybody else that doesn't believe exactly what he
00:20:48
believes. Listen to the last show we
00:20:51
talked about religion or the Christmas show.
00:20:53
We talked about religion a little bit on the on the show
00:20:55
after that on on 4/21, I believe.
00:20:59
But this is this is what I'm talking about.
00:21:02
This guy's literally killing people in the name of of his
00:21:08
God. I don't think that Muslims want
00:21:09
to claim the same religion this guy does.
00:21:12
I mean it is by name, but the extremist version of Islam and
00:21:18
regular Islam are quite different sadly.
00:21:23
Sadly, we don't know just by hearing or looking at somebody
00:21:27
who is, who is Muslim, walking down the street, whether they
00:21:31
have extremist beliefs. We have protests and riots, more
00:21:36
like riots going on in this country for the extremist
00:21:41
terrorist organizations that are, that are fighting for
00:21:44
Palestine and the countries like Iran and Lebanon and Syria and
00:21:50
all these that surround them that fund and support these
00:21:54
organizations in our own country.
00:21:58
There are protests and riots where people are chanting death
00:22:02
to the West, kill Americans, kill Christians, kill Jews, and
00:22:06
we're allowing it to happen. Now a terrorist attack has
00:22:12
happened and of course the left has come out and I, and again, I
00:22:15
don't mean to make it political, but everyone else has.
00:22:17
So I'm just telling you what they're saying.
00:22:19
The left is saying that the right side is very upset that
00:22:24
this person wasn't foreign, that this person didn't come across
00:22:27
the border illegally because initially again, another blunder
00:22:30
by the fucking FBI and and the media.
00:22:34
The truck that was used apparently crossed the border at
00:22:37
Eagle Pass, TX which is a checkpoint border entry at
00:22:42
Mexico a couple of weeks I believe prior.
00:22:47
Who wouldn't think that this was somebody that came in illegally
00:22:51
over the border if the if the truck checked out to have done
00:22:54
that. Turns out that he rented the
00:22:57
truck through Turo, which is a company where you rent
00:23:01
individual people's cars that are willing to rent them out to
00:23:06
you. And I, and I don't understand
00:23:09
why that hasn't been pursued more like, I guess maybe it just
00:23:13
was a coincidence that the person he rented from had come
00:23:17
back in from Mexico. I, I don't know, but it, it's
00:23:21
been blown that that's been blown off and no one's even
00:23:23
touching that issue anymore. Now that that's been debunked as
00:23:28
as being the shooter being illegal here illegally.
00:23:33
But he is claiming ISIS and yes, he was born here and that's not
00:23:38
the fucking point. I'm tired of it.
00:23:40
It's not the point, right wingers.
00:23:43
If you want to divide it up again, nobody's happy about this
00:23:47
and and nobody's more upset that he's not here illegally.
00:23:52
It doesn't. This guy's a piece of shit and
00:23:55
he's going to rot wherever you go to rot in hell for what he's
00:24:01
done. It doesn't matter if he's legal
00:24:03
or illegal. Everybody wants to make it about
00:24:06
this issue everyone's making about guns.
00:24:08
Guess what? This guy drove a truck and
00:24:10
killed 14 people. He didn't kill one person with
00:24:12
that gun. Let's, let's focus on that gun
00:24:14
control though, on the mass shooters.
00:24:17
So anyway, so much here and I, I'm just trying, not trying to
00:24:20
go off trying to give you the information, trying to give you
00:24:23
the news. So Jabbar was also seen placing
00:24:26
2 IEDs at two different intersections.
00:24:29
The FBI confiscated 3 phones, 2 laptops from an Airbnb that
00:24:34
nearby. It was also right next to a
00:24:37
mosque, apparently, not a surprise.
00:24:40
And then, of course, like I said, the Sugar Bowl was
00:24:42
suspended. The big thing for me is there's
00:24:44
a lot of this here. There's this hate for the West,
00:24:48
hate for the country, hate for our own country, because a lot
00:24:52
of those people that are at these protests and at these
00:24:54
riots aren't Palestinian. They'll probably fly that fat
00:24:59
flag, Brodie and Slip. They will fly that flag proudly.
00:25:04
They will tear ours down. But they're not Palestinian.
00:25:07
They haven't been to Gaza. They don't know what's going on.
00:25:10
They just want to protest and riot, which is dangerous because
00:25:14
these are the same people that think they're going to be heroes
00:25:17
and and ride it on their high horse and do something stupid
00:25:19
like this. Which leads me to the next
00:25:21
story, a guy named Matt Livolsberger.
00:25:25
Livolsberger is another military man act.
00:25:31
This one's active on leave from Germany.
00:25:35
He's a Green Beret and I'll get to that.
00:25:37
He took and rented a new little better than homeboy over here in
00:25:44
in New Orleans who rented a white truck.
00:25:46
I guess the purpose for the purpose he was probably the
00:25:48
smarter one, but I think there's a little bit different meaning
00:25:51
here with this gentleman. So Matt goes and rents a Tesla
00:25:55
truck. One of those cool space age
00:25:57
looking things that I thought every Back to the Future too
00:25:59
said every car was going to look like those by 2015.
00:26:03
That did not happen and I am still disappointed and waiting
00:26:06
for there to be more of these lovely looking cars.
00:26:10
But this guy drives a Tesla truck into front of a Trump
00:26:15
building in Vegas. I think it's a hotel.
00:26:18
I'm not sure what the building looks like in Vegas.
00:26:20
I didn't see it when I was there, but he left it there.
00:26:23
And then of course he sets off an explosive and it blows up.
00:26:27
Well right before he set it off. There's footage of him shooting
00:26:31
himself. Like I always say, I wish these
00:26:33
two assholes would have killed themselves.
00:26:36
Made it painful before they decided to take innocent lives.
00:26:40
They're coming me and telling me that's inappropriate and that
00:26:43
they should be spared or whatever the bullshit you've
00:26:46
got. They should die most definitely
00:26:48
and be eliminated because we don't need human beings like
00:26:53
that. We need we need less of that,
00:26:56
but anyway it blew up and in the car in the ruins.
00:27:01
I'm called the ruins the the blown up car.
00:27:04
There were two guns, fireworks, passport, military ID, credit
00:27:07
cards, iPhones, things like that.
00:27:09
This guy was a green Braves try highly trained special forces
00:27:13
for counterterrorism. Go figure.
00:27:17
They actually said they were unimpressed by the rigging that
00:27:22
he had done with the bomb system because it it wasn't very good.
00:27:26
It didn't do much damage. I think it it minor injuries,
00:27:31
probably from shrapnel, say that right, hitting people or
00:27:35
something like that. But but it the maybe
00:27:38
underestimated Tesla's walls or what the what the truck's made
00:27:43
out of, but it didn't do much damage.
00:27:45
Thank goodness. So dumbass, you didn't kill
00:27:48
anybody. You blew up a Tesla.
00:27:50
Good for you, but you're no longer here.
00:27:53
I only feel sorry for your wife And if you had any children,
00:27:56
which it didn't say, poor family members of these of these
00:27:59
people, these lunatics. Another neighbor, another,
00:28:01
another one where the neighbor said, oh, you seem normal to me.
00:28:04
I just can't believe there's nothing that tells people that
00:28:08
something's off with this guy. But either way.
00:28:10
So he was in the army since 2006.
00:28:11
He served in Afghanistan, Taj Taj, Tajikistan, Tahikistan,
00:28:17
whatever, Georgia, the country, not the state people and Congo.
00:28:23
And he had five bronze stars and a bunch of other awards and
00:28:27
things to be proud of in life. And I don't, I have no clue what
00:28:33
the hell is going on with this guy at all.
00:28:36
Now the police, I believe this is the police chief talking
00:28:39
here. I'm sorry, I've been sick.
00:28:42
I did my notes as well they could.
00:28:44
He said the, the, it's not lost on us that it's in front of a
00:28:48
Trump building and that it's a Tesla vehicle.
00:28:53
It doesn't take a genius to see what this guy was trying to do.
00:28:57
Trump and Elon, this little buddy buddy that they've got
00:29:01
going on. And by the way, I haven't heard
00:29:03
shit about this argument we've been having about the H1B forms.
00:29:06
There's been too many mass killings in the world and more
00:29:10
so in our country. So we'll get back to that, Elon
00:29:13
and Vivek, because I haven't forgotten about that.
00:29:15
And I think it's something that we should talk about.
00:29:18
I always wanted to make the country better.
00:29:19
And if you guys have the way to do it, let's talk.
00:29:22
I think we need to adapt it a little bit, but we'll talk, he
00:29:25
said. But we can't obviously point to
00:29:27
a particular ideology. He's he's basically saying the
00:29:31
right things. And, and obviously there's a
00:29:33
there's a connection there. And I think the biggest thing
00:29:36
that I've read is that he was a big defender of Ukraine and that
00:29:41
he was actually actively recruiting people to fight for
00:29:44
Ukraine or to amp it up over here or to do something.
00:29:48
And of course, since Donald's not going to give, you know, the
00:29:52
little, little Zielinski his his paycheck any more for doing
00:29:56
nothing, maybe this guy's pissed off and he blames Elon for
00:30:01
funding Trump and Trump getting elected, blah blah blah.
00:30:04
So that that's that's the most I've read on a on a motive
00:30:08
besides. Just not liking Trump and Elon,
00:30:11
but no one kind of saw it. But but here's the deal.
00:30:14
Both of these guys, both of these killers, the one in New
00:30:19
Orleans that rammed a truck through everybody killing
00:30:22
fourteen. And this other one, he
00:30:24
technically wasn't a killer because nobody died except for
00:30:26
himself. Again, I'm glad he died, but he
00:30:31
tried to. So it counts in my book.
00:30:34
Both of these people were Army veterans for our country and
00:30:40
both spent time at Fort Bragg. That used to be called Fort
00:30:43
Bragg. Now it's called Fort Liberty.
00:30:45
It's in North Carolina and there there there wasn't an overlap
00:30:49
when they were there, which is which is weird.
00:30:51
But it's also it's the same place that Ryan Ruth visited a
00:30:56
bunch before trying to assassinate Trump.
00:30:59
And I think he was the golf course guy was up there trying
00:31:01
to get him from the golf course. But what's going on at Fort
00:31:04
Bragg? Look, I'm not that guy, but I
00:31:07
like to hear conspiracies because a lot of times they're
00:31:11
they end up not being conspiracies.
00:31:12
They end up being the truth. Not a lot, but you know what I'm
00:31:15
saying, people, give me a break. But if that's coincidence,
00:31:18
that's quite a coincidence after with all the military bases in
00:31:21
the world and these three. And I think there was another
00:31:24
one that I read rolling up through Fort Bragg in North
00:31:28
Carolina. Just something to keep an eye
00:31:31
on. I'm not, I'm not spreading any
00:31:32
false people will tell me how you're spitting false
00:31:35
information. I'm just saying I read something
00:31:38
we need to look into. It never claimed to be fact, but
00:31:42
it's something we should look into.
00:31:45
So my take away from these two is that #1 the FBI and and
00:31:49
security as a whole sucks. They're supposed to be
00:31:52
barricades that didn't allow cars down these streets where
00:31:54
all the people were in the video and and witness account.
00:31:59
This guy literally just just drove around the the barricade
00:32:05
and just went get your shit together.
00:32:09
This is Bourbon Street on New Year's Eve.
00:32:11
Be ready. Then they showed a video of the
00:32:15
response and it was like these assholes were all in a circle
00:32:17
together talking. That's, that's probably not the
00:32:21
best for you to be doing if you're supposed to be policing
00:32:26
an area or security of an area. They all took off towards,
00:32:31
towards the crash. Well, if you're all over here,
00:32:33
they're once over there anyway #2 the FBI is hiring a bunch of
00:32:40
idiots because they whoever their, their press secretary or
00:32:44
spokesperson or however they whatever label she has, she
00:32:47
First off, she looks scared to death to be in an interview,
00:32:49
which is that's great for somebody that's been chosen to
00:32:53
spoke to speak to the media. I'm so fired up.
00:32:59
She called this an event. We'll look in more into this
00:33:02
event. Is it really an event?
00:33:06
She was unwilling to call it a terrorist attack.
00:33:09
She was unwilling to call it killing spree or anything that
00:33:13
it was. She called it just an event.
00:33:16
Just an event. Let's just I guess we should get
00:33:19
used to it. It was just another event on New
00:33:21
Year's Eve. I don't know why that hurt me so
00:33:23
much, but I think she should be fucking fired.
00:33:26
My last one is this country obviously has an extremism
00:33:29
problem, obviously, and on a lower level it's the far left
00:33:34
and the far right and fuck you and fuck you and everything's
00:33:37
extreme. Everything's extreme.
00:33:40
No one's willing to talk in the Gray like I want to.
00:33:43
Some people are, I'm saying nobody and I'm embellishing, but
00:33:47
a lot of people. Then you have a whole different
00:33:50
level, which is this people are hurting other people on behalf
00:33:54
of what? Because you think you're right.
00:33:57
That's that's what it all boils down to, whether it's religion,
00:33:59
whether it's politics, whether it's whatever.
00:34:01
I didn't even get to the story about the CEO of of the health
00:34:04
insurance company shot and people are like cheering it on.
00:34:08
Yeah, let's murder people We we don't agree with or that or that
00:34:11
I was aware of something that one of his workers did or I, I
00:34:15
don't even like I said, I haven't done that story yet so I
00:34:17
don't know enough, but I just these are the same people that
00:34:23
no death penalty. No, but then they're cheering on
00:34:26
somebody taking it upon themselves to shoot somebody in
00:34:28
the in the park in, in, in Central Park.
00:34:32
No, not buying it. So the extremism issue has to
00:34:34
stop or people are going to continue to die and I'm going to
00:34:37
be afraid to go anywhere. My wife is, is, is terrified to
00:34:41
go anywhere. Was a huge setting.
00:34:42
I was in a movie with my kid in his first movie theater and the
00:34:45
whole time I'm looking around like what's that guy doing?
00:34:47
He's looking he looks pretty shady over there.
00:34:49
He's got a damn trench coat on and it's 65°, no joke.
00:34:53
And and you look around and it's it's this mindset.
00:34:57
God, when I was 16 and taking a date to the movies and hoping
00:35:02
to, you know, get that hand hold, get that sign that it's
00:35:07
time to roll and think about any of that.
00:35:09
You sit out front there was, I don't know, I don't know what's
00:35:13
going on. I just feel like people are,
00:35:14
they just believe that they're entitled to, to make these
00:35:19
drastic statements by hurting people and taking lives because
00:35:23
they're so passionate about what they believe and they're
00:35:26
unwilling to listen. It's everybody's shut down, no
00:35:29
one's talking. And now people are just hurting,
00:35:32
hurting others. And it's, it's disgusting.
00:35:35
It's happening all over the world.
00:35:37
London, England has huge issues and they won't admit it.
00:35:41
They're probably worse than we are at admitting things.
00:35:43
And it's terrible. I might get to that on a show,
00:35:46
but I'm trying to keep it domestic because there's enough
00:35:49
here. For the love of God, no pun
00:35:51
intended. Oh, and by the way, that
00:35:55
segment's over. We all heard about those a lot.
00:35:59
Or at least I did. If honestly, deep down you did.
00:36:03
You heard more about what I'm about to tell you, then great.
00:36:06
Tell me I'm wrong, but I happened to scroll by something
00:36:11
and saw this tucked away in a Facebook feed that I didn't.
00:36:17
Nobody I I heard nothing about this.
00:36:20
Except for just passing through and seeing it.
00:36:23
There was a nightclub, a shooting outside of a nightclub
00:36:26
in New York, in Queens, NY on the 1st at 11:30 at night.
00:36:32
So almost the second. This is last night, I believe,
00:36:36
came out today. The story.
00:36:38
So three to four men. Not one driving a truck, not one
00:36:41
who pulled in with the Tesla. Three to four men shot in a
00:36:47
crowd of people out in Queens. Ten people were injured, ages 16
00:36:52
to 20. You might think what were they
00:36:55
doing outside the club? And apparently it was a an all
00:36:58
ages club and they were having a private event for the birthday
00:37:02
and life of Terry on Mungo, a 16 year old who was shot in
00:37:06
Brooklyn last year. It was his birthday and they
00:37:09
were having a an event to to remember his life.
00:37:13
So three or four people ran into a crowd and shot at everybody.
00:37:17
Fortunately, I don't know how it happened, but all ten of them
00:37:20
survived there. Were they?
00:37:22
There were 30 plus that would be more than 30 shots fired by
00:37:27
these three or four people. The mayor was immediately,
00:37:31
immediately saying this is not an act of terror.
00:37:36
There's no connection between what has happened in this
00:37:38
country in the last day to this. There's no room for this in our
00:37:43
city. All the, the cliche bullshit,
00:37:47
That's why did he feel he had to say that number one.
00:37:50
And #2 why are we not hearing about this story?
00:37:54
It sounds just as bad as the other stories.
00:37:58
The, the death count in the guy who in the truck was worse.
00:38:02
But it sure seems like this could have been up there.
00:38:06
Thank goodness they didn't make it inside the club.
00:38:08
There were 90 people apparently inside the club.
00:38:10
And I'm going to go ahead and say it again.
00:38:13
You know what I'm going to say? These are African Americans.
00:38:17
Nobody wants to talk about the fact that this happens every
00:38:22
day. I could tell you a story every
00:38:26
day. I told you one and a few shows
00:38:28
about ago about a house party at 2:00 in the afternoon on a
00:38:33
Monday. So until we're ready to talk
00:38:36
about it, I just thought I'd throw this in there because I, I
00:38:39
again came across this like it was nothing.
00:38:42
Like it was nothing but the other ones, man, they're all
00:38:45
over the media. You had a terrorist attack and
00:38:47
some white boy military guy who has a problem with Trump and
00:38:50
Elon. That's front page. 30 shots
00:38:54
fired by three or four African Americans, nowhere to be seen.
00:39:00
Let's figure out why and move on and try and help.
00:39:05
Oh, and by the way, before we end tonight, 57 year old woman
00:39:08
was set on fire in the subway. You've heard about this,
00:39:11
probably. We heard all about it.
00:39:13
Sebastian Zepeda, 33. He was deported.
00:39:16
In 2018, by the way, he was a Guatemalan illegal immigrant.
00:39:21
Somehow, someway, he's made his way back across illegally.
00:39:24
And now on a random day, he decided he was going to set a
00:39:27
woman on fire and kill her. It's awesome.
00:39:32
Also, there was a random man, I don't know if you saw this one,
00:39:35
pushed by another random man. They didn't seem to know each
00:39:38
other right in front of the subway as it was approaching
00:39:42
like 2 seconds before it pushed, just ran up and pushed him
00:39:46
according to the surveillance cameras.
00:39:48
My CT, my CCTV, people tell me how that worked at 1:30 PM in
00:39:53
the subway in New York City on New Year's Eve.
00:39:58
And it was easy. The suspect is unnamed because
00:40:01
they haven't charged him yet. And so it's kind of like until
00:40:04
they charge him, they can't. But he had a record of assault,
00:40:06
assault with weapons, wrestling cops, evading arrest, armed.
00:40:11
Armed robbery, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
00:40:14
Another one of these guys and he pushed a guy or I don't
00:40:17
apparently there is no motive. It was just like I'm going to
00:40:20
push this fucker and I don't know if he's because he was
00:40:22
white. I don't know what the what the
00:40:24
issue was. Miraculously this guy survived.
00:40:28
He fell right in the in the the train, David or whatever,
00:40:31
whatever you want to call where the tracks are.
00:40:33
The train is raised up right before that train hit.
00:40:36
You see it on the video. And he fell and I think they
00:40:39
stopped the train and they were like, there's a man under the
00:40:41
train. So everyone needs to chill for a
00:40:43
second while I pull him out of there.
00:40:45
And I would have assumed that he was dead, but he was moving all
00:40:49
his limbs and little bloody but survived.
00:40:52
So that's great news. And this other guy I think is
00:40:56
still on the run, I think or no, I think they I think they
00:40:59
finally got him. I'm sorry.
00:41:00
They finally got him a little a little later in the day.
00:41:03
But what the fuck? What's the point of of pushing
00:41:07
somebody in front of a train? People are fucked in the head.
00:41:09
What's going on? It's just like, oh, I'm bored,
00:41:12
I'm going to go, I'm going to go kill a guy.
00:41:13
So we've got five stories tonight. 4 motives, 1 not non
00:41:19
motive, 1/2 motive. You know, it's all over the
00:41:22
place. But the big.
00:41:23
Thing is, for some reason people are they're not feeling like
00:41:26
this is that big of a deal. People are killing like it's
00:41:31
nothing. Whether I don't agree with you,
00:41:35
so I'm going to kill you, whether I'm bored on a on a
00:41:38
Tuesday, so I'm going to push you in front of a subway.
00:41:41
Maybe the guy looked at him wrong in an intersection or
00:41:43
something. I don't know.
00:41:45
I don't think you should push him in front of a fucking
00:41:47
subway. Whether it's house parties or
00:41:50
shootings outside of a club or whatever.
00:41:52
I mean, it's just, and in all these stories, people, guns were
00:41:55
used once out of five stories. Yeah, the guy, after he plowed
00:41:59
through, got out and and started shooting.
00:42:01
But that that didn't, that wasn't his initial intent.
00:42:04
He drove a truck. The other guy tried explosives
00:42:06
in a truck. One person set somebody on fire
00:42:09
and one person shoved the guy in front of the subway.
00:42:12
So don't tell me it's all guns. And don't tell me people can't
00:42:16
hurt without guns. Four of these five stories could
00:42:19
have taken place without guns. So we can continue to talk about
00:42:23
it, but don't act like that's as it's going to solve everything.
00:42:28
It just won't. So that's it for tonight.
00:42:31
I mean, I, I, I just, it's just depressing.
00:42:35
I don't know, you know, I thought about trying to find
00:42:38
something upbeat to end with, but I've gone on long enough,
00:42:42
gave you some facts. I gave you some opinions.
00:42:44
I, I don't know what to do about the extremism.
00:42:48
I'm sure I'll get more into it as things develop overseas
00:42:51
between Russia and Ukraine. I think there was another
00:42:55
defensive of Israel. There was something going on in
00:42:59
with who thieves or some shit going on and they were
00:43:02
protesting about Israeli attacks.
00:43:04
And there's a bunch going on. So there's no shortage of of
00:43:08
things to talk about. And I'd like to eventually,
00:43:11
hopefully get away from politics back to kind of what Trey and I
00:43:13
were used to be used to do, which is give you fun stories.
00:43:17
And then we'll talk about an issue.
00:43:18
But talk about it to where it's not going to like make everybody
00:43:21
butt hurt. Have some people come on, have
00:43:24
some people, which I plan to do. Have some people come on with
00:43:26
different mindsets and let's talk And let's, I feel like I'm
00:43:29
going to have to show you how to do this.
00:43:31
I've been preaching about it. Let's just talk.
00:43:34
But I feel like I need to have you listen to me with two people
00:43:38
who don't agree with me and show you how to talk like a normal
00:43:43
human being and with no violence.
00:43:46
Seems pretty simple. But apparently in this country
00:43:50
and abroad, it is not. So I hope everybody did have a
00:43:53
safe New Year's besides these stories.
00:43:56
And I didn't do anything because I was sick, still lingering.
00:44:00
And that kind of sucks. But hopefully I'm going in with
00:44:04
positive mindset for 2025. I'm going to keep hitting this
00:44:07
podcast hard because I really do love it and I really do hope
00:44:13
that the people that have followed me and are continuing
00:44:16
to follow me and new people, people who I've had
00:44:22
conversations with, people who might just like the reels in the
00:44:24
shorts, people that pick and choose the topics or bless you,
00:44:29
the ones that stick with the entirety of the show.
00:44:32
I'm doing this for you guys. Yes, a part of it is doing it
00:44:36
for me because I enjoy it, but I there's no point if I don't have
00:44:39
you guys. So thank you every like helps
00:44:42
every anything interaction comment subscribe to to our
00:44:47
YouTube channel. We're trying to grow that and I
00:44:50
just like to talk and I like to reach people.
00:44:52
So thank you for that. And I'll go to the end comment
00:44:58
of the night. Excuse me, the End Quote of the
00:45:00
night. I like this and it's kind of
00:45:02
fitting for the new year. Yesterday is history.
00:45:06
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.
00:45:10
That's why we call it the present.
00:45:13
See what I did there? Think it applies after Christmas
00:45:18
and moving forward with that. Love you guys, see you next
00:45:21
time.
