00:01:05.300 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.360 Minicast.
00:01:10.920 Hey, my buddy Chris
00:01:11.840 there. What's up, Chris?
00:01:13.400 Hey, man. How you doing?
00:01:15.800 Very nice. What's
00:01:17.360 the scoop? You know,
00:01:19.560 you're talking a lot of great things, great
00:01:21.600 truths that I believe. And you know, when
00:01:23.300 When Trump was going in, this was an election about putting faith back into government.
00:01:30.840 At least that's what I believed.
00:01:32.480 That was it.
00:01:33.160 Right.
00:01:33.940 Big part of it.
00:01:34.860 Because he was not a politician.
00:01:37.100 He's coming from the outside.
00:01:38.680 This was going to be the moment.
00:01:40.220 This was going to be the guy who can get in there, break it all up, just like you said.
00:01:44.680 This is what we all believed.
00:01:46.340 And now you hear the smatterings of, geez, is he compromised?
00:01:51.160 did the swamp kind of swallow him up and now he's kind of pulling back on all the things that he had
00:01:56.980 said right you know he's still done a lot more than any other president ever i don't want to
00:02:01.720 act like hell yeah no i i've been trying to put that across chris like yeah i i'm not saying
00:02:08.860 like many people you know many people that can make a lot of noise i don't think it's the actual 0.53
00:02:14.480 majority of trump supporters but people that are like screw that screw him i'm sorry i ever voted
00:02:20.320 for him. I would never say that, especially based on the choice we had and what we're seeing happen
00:02:27.520 now. I like what I'm seeing as far as the economy goes and energy independence again, perhaps.
00:02:35.380 100%. I love it. But, you know, I won't just be quiet if I do see things that are a little
00:02:40.980 distressing. And I completely agree. And, you know, these are the things that people
00:02:46.340 can't talk about publicly because they'll get vilified they're going against the government
00:02:51.700 whatever this you know there's something that is coming back now and when they i don't know how to
00:02:56.900 actually put this right i believe it's coming up to the 25th anniversary of the twa flight 800
00:03:06.820 disaster oh yeah the coast of long island and that was the point in at least in my life when i said
00:03:13.760 okay, the government is lying to us, right to our face.
00:03:18.680 Because we all know what happened with that plane.
00:03:22.660 I don't go into it, but we know the truth.
00:03:24.700 It was right in front of our face.
00:03:26.280 And the government conspiracy and lying to us,
00:03:30.940 you know, they know that we can't do anything about it. 1.00
00:03:34.440 So it's almost like they know how stupid we are, 1.00
00:03:37.620 that we have to believe everything they say. 1.00
00:03:40.600 Interesting event you chose for that,
00:03:42.900 Because everybody, I think, depending on who you talk to, maybe how old they are or how much they were into current events in the government, what event actually got them to go, all right, I was a total believer in our government.
00:04:01.240 I believed everything they said.
00:04:02.540 And now, because of this, that was what turned me.
00:04:07.440 Is Flight 800 the thing that kind of made you go, uh-oh, I think we're not in a great place here with the U.S. government and their honesty?
00:04:17.840 100%.
00:04:18.280 Because, look, the average person doesn't have the time nor the will to sit and do all the research that's necessary to go against what the government puts out there to see if you believe it or not.
00:04:30.520 Right.
00:04:30.600 And I was going to sit there and read hours and hours of material and NTT reports and all of this kind of stuff.
00:04:36.160 You're not going to do it.
00:04:37.180 So the easy thing to do is believe the news, believe that fake media, because it's just easy.
00:04:43.140 But if you sit and you actually take the time and read and do the proper research and come up with your own opinion based off of the facts that are out there, then you can start to question these things.
00:04:55.660 And in this particular instance, the Flight 800 disaster, look, that plane was hit by a missile.
00:05:01.940 It was.
00:05:02.580 They were doing military exercises off the coast of Long Island, which they still do, because if I go right now down to the South Shore, I see drones flying up in the air that they're doing.
00:05:12.900 They're always there every night.
00:05:14.420 That's where they do these military exercises.
00:05:16.520 And it's a shame that all these people, 234 plus people, perished and lost their lives, and the government blatantly lied to us.
00:05:25.460 And we'll never come out with the truth.
00:05:27.020 Now, I was hoping that Trump would be the person, and I'm not just talking about this event in itself, but would be the person to break that mold and put our faith back in government to say, you know what, maybe they are working for John Q. Public.
00:05:42.840 Maybe they are telling the truth.
00:05:45.000 No, that ain't going to happen, unfortunately.
00:05:49.260 But I love it.
00:05:50.400 I agree with you on that one, Chris.
00:05:52.300 I mean, you know, the official story, a 747 sitting on a hot tarmac for hours on end and then a short circuit in a fuel tank.
00:06:04.340 And it's something that had never happened before or since.
00:06:08.980 A lot of times when you watch shows or read transcripts from the NTSB, the biggest thing and the reason they do it is to prevent a future accident from happening.
00:06:20.940 Correct.
00:06:21.420 the same way and over the course of the years through using that process they've made air
00:06:26.780 travel very safe but there wasn't one thing in there that was definitive and said yes this is
00:06:33.320 the the the these are the moves we're going to make to make sure this doesn't happen again
00:06:38.240 it just right they didn't have it and and the missile aspect oh it's uh it's it's not out of
00:06:45.640 the realm of possibility there there are so many things about it and i'm not going to get into the
00:06:49.500 whole conspiracy but all the the things that disappeared and everything but yeah i mean what
00:06:54.300 this was simply put this was the government coming to up to every single person who's listening to
00:07:00.080 the show right now and slapping you across the face and then you're just standing there and
00:07:04.320 saying oh okay that's how i feel it's like i said it's the perception more than the actual subject
00:07:10.900 matter epstein thing i don't give a whatever but i feel like i'm on uh discord playing video
00:07:19.440 against it this guy i don't give a yeah uh but it's it's the perception that we were deceived by
00:07:27.280 the guy we voted for that said he was going to be open honest and truthful about everything uh
00:07:33.540 exactly that's more important chris i gotta move on but thanks for the call take it easy bro yeah
00:07:39.360 i mean yeah you know but it's interesting bringing up like what put you over the edge
00:07:46.200 what was that thing that happened whether it was years ago the Gulf of Tonkin Vietnam I remember I
00:07:56.440 was a frog man and they told me I had to go to country I had to go to Vietnam I said why they
00:08:05.180 said the Vietnamese blew up on one of our ships in the Gulf of Tonkin so I got on my frog man suit
00:08:13.520 my feather boa like 0.98
00:08:15.740 in WWF
00:08:17.300 and I went to the NAMM
00:08:19.680 and I wiped out a lot 1.00
00:08:21.940 of goop 0.94
00:08:23.620 without
00:08:24.960 nothing makes me laugh
00:08:29.540 more than listening to Jesse talk about his
00:08:31.620 war stories. It's like, didn't you wear a feather
00:08:33.880 boa? Didn't you wear
00:08:35.760 a feather boa?
00:08:37.240 I don't have time to bleed.
00:08:40.360 He was great in Predator
00:08:41.840 I'll be honest there.
00:08:43.520 Don't get me started with that.
