You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven point one The Freak, and we have a bunch of stuff coming up. It is a big story of the day. Obviously, the Cowboys are in complete total control in the driver's seat to take the NFC East. All it's going to take is a win against the lowly Washington Commanders this weekend and they're
going to host a damn playoff game. Unbelievable, very unlikely. Nobody thought this was going to turn out the way it is right now. But thanks to a nice Cardinals snake bite of the Philadelphia Eagles, we are in command of the NFC East. We're going to continue to talk about that Cowboy game, Cowboys Lions, big win there, unlikely win, all of the big officiating mess that went down at the end of that. We're gonna have Dean
Blandino on NFL referee extraordinary. Dean Blandino's going to join us at nine o'clock. We'll get back into the halftime stuff. Jimmy Johnson got inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor and Jerry was on field with a wild ass wireless microphone and all bets are off when that happens, as we all know, and we'll have audio from that and so much more to look at in that game.

All that being said, Yep, Big Cowboys. Stuff still to come, but right now it is seven thirty seven. That means it's time for this. Yes, this is the scuttle Butt. It's brought to you by Parker University Parker dot edu. It's one of our many daily news segments that we do here on the down to beat. Dingo's morning news will come up
at eight thirty. Top story today right now, train the earrailment has shut down southbound US three seventy seven in Roanoke, that's near Byron Nelson Boulevard. Fin I'll let you know. You can call us or textas at any time two one four or eight one seven seven, eight seven one nine seven to one. And you're in the area, maybe you saw the train drail you know, I don't know, maybe you heard it. Maybe you're sitting in traffic. Give us a ring of dan Or Texas two and four eight one
seven seven eight seven one ninety seven one. No injuries have been reported. Still waiting on, you know information how the train derailed again, just developing today. But the problem is southbound three seventy seven is going to be shut down for most of the day as they're cleaning up this mess. They said three coal cars involved, So we'll let you know more once we find out
more. In a nation that was once I mean, the lifeblood of this country was trains, I remember as a kid in the seventies that the train was a daily thing you had to deal with. Yeah, train crossings, I mean it's is it anything that you even stumble upon in your day to day d rail okay not dartwill notwithstanding the regular freight train, do you deal without at all? No? I guess the two places that I have a
friend's house that lives over near where you did. Yeah, off thirty in gym Mill or big trail there and then up at Rollertown up in Solina. Yeah, you go there, you'll catch a train. In fact, it's tradition that everyone when the train comes by and honks, you take a drink, so you know. Yeah, there's a pretty active train over in far east Dallas that runs I think kind of a long Ferguson just a little bit to the west of Ferguson that runs north, I guess, kind of north
and south or or south west to northeast. And I encounter that thing maybe once a month where I'll sit there, you know, at a crossing for a good four or five minutes, and they're really big, long ass trains, big old freight freight trains that are that are rolling through the neighborhood. But yeah, it's not something and that I don't incur that hardly ever,
compared to what it was like in the seventies and eighties. I would need a rail map to prove this, but I believe in the western part of the Metroplex from once you get to more rural areas, Yeah, I think there's a little more action when it comes to a rail system, not a system for transportation, but just more train rails. Because I remember we had that guy on he called in. This is months ago, and he called in and he was a guy and he drove to Chico every day, unloaded
freight and drove back. I say drove who was a train He was a train conductor and his route was to go to Chico and back every day. And it was interesting to ask him all kinds of questions about trains and get a little dark because I think I asked him if he ever ran over anyone on the tracks, and he really wanted to distance from that. As he went his tone changed and everything. It's like, oh my god, you brought up some past trauma. Yeah, I mean, what do you use.
There's nothing you can do. You can't stop it. You know, you just got to plow right there. Well, what you know, if we hear any more about this again. It's going to affect parts of Roanoke Trophy Club. All rail crossings from Byron Nelson south to the Roanoke City limits are going to be closed due to a coal train derailment, and they're trying to you know, move the train safely and clean up that situation. We'll let you know more now. About a week ago, it was announced that
we get to New Year's Day probably gonna get the Epstein list. Now, this may mean nothing to some of you, may mean a lot to some of you. I don't really know. But Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in prison in twenty nineteen, or did he? Uh, he was a big I think money. Financier is a very fancy term that I heard. I'm like, I don't hear that very very much. If if someone is your fiance, does that mean that you're the financier? It doesn't my case.
Just kidding. She makes more than me. Uh well that's not completely true, but she does not far off? Does well? No, we both do poorly. As as you guys, our engagements basted out of necessity. Rent is too damn high these days. You're a homeowner, you don't pay rent. Uh So, nearly two hundred names connected to the Jeffrey Epstein and Gallain Maxwell's sex trafficking operation case could be released by a New York judge as early as today, and I was hoping it would be released by seven.
But that's not the case yet. Speculations, but there's plenty of speculations, and things have leaked, because things always leaked, Danny. The documents are going to reveal the names of associates. They've been known as John Doe and Jane Doe in the documents. So he killed himself in prison in twenty nineteen. He was awaiting trial too, by the way, he's just being
held in prison. Who's already a registered sex offender at that point, Galaiine Maxwell, he was never going Look, he was going to get convicted. He was going to go to jail for the rest of his natural life. He knew, We knew, the American people knew it. Now Gallaiine Maxwell, who weirdly spells her name jis Lane, is in jail and she's serving a twenty year sentence. Just happened in twenty twenty one. Gallaine's a wild name. Many people in the list are already publicly known as associates. People
had flown on his planes. There's a chance we're going to see his alleged victims in this as well. And they've been taken to homes. He's mansion in New York, Epstein Island, a villa, and Palm Beach. There's a private island in the Virgin Islands. There's a ranch in Santa Fe where he was going for basically sex parties with underage girls that they had trafficked. Bill Clinton, according to a couple of news sources, has been identified as
John Doe thirty six. Well, I don't have much to say about that. Good lord, I was about to say it was like the first name that came to my mind. So that's leak that. Yeah, and wild Bill was on the planes. Which Bill's Wilder him or Bill Gates also an alleged alleged Again, the list not out yet. Now, this list is a of clients. I what what does this list identify specifically? I mean, associates, people that visited the island. What's that some victims might be
in there as well? Okay, yeah, you mentioned that, but I'm talking about the ones that are the non victims. What are we indicating here by these names being on this list, So it's not confirmation that they engaged. No, absolutely not, although the public might take it that way. It's still going to take associations with Epstein and in some cases Gilaine, I just said, I'm looking at her name and the way it's spelled. It's just Lane. You said that, But we'll do Glaine. It's just hard
to see it. And now here's how the things that have leaked about Bill Clinton over the last the normal Lane, there's the Lane laying twenty years in prison. There's some also Prince Andrew with another one. Now clearly Prince Andrew has been he's denied all this. Bill Clinton has more ties. By the way. To be fair, this is the thing too, This this story
should unite us as a country. I mean, there's a video of Donald Trump hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. Pretty any time big time politician or New York big wig in the nineties, there's probably got footage of being, you
know, an association with Jeffrey Epstein. And I wouldn't be surprised if Lord Michaels is in a photograph with Jeffrey Epstein somewhere they're they're in all likelihood, there are probably reasons to befriend this guy or to be associated with this guy that have absolutely nothing to do with this illegal activity, which is you know, sex trafficking, paying for sex with underage girls. There there, there there are reasons independent of those to be associated with Epstein. I'm sure it's
not like he was just a pimp for underage girls. No, no, yeah, it's many Yeah, it's many things. And but the story is, you know, Gallayne would handle a lot of the recruitment and payments and all that stuff. Now, personal flight logs were kept by one of Epstein's pilots on his private jet, the Lolita Express. Okay, Now, this be associated with him is one thing. Now if if it's if it's shown that Bill Clinton flew on we have that one of these planes to one of
these islands. Look, I'm sorry, there's at that point there there are very few reasons other than the obvious bad one that you're probably going on that trip, am I. This included trips to Paris into Bangkok after he left office in two thousand and one. Bangkok photos from the activity. Photos from one of these trips show one Epstein victim Shante Davies giving Clinton a massage on his shoulders. Stop it. Oh yeah, and that looks like two thousand
and one, Bill Clinton to a picture a little harder. Now. Look, they're still waiting on more stuff, you know, and there's gonna be a lot of hack news websites that you know, start leaking rumors and things like that. But this is what we know so far. Epstein was an early investor, and I'm just sticking with the facts right here. Epstein was an early investor. And Clinton's you know, charity endeavors things like that.
Maxwell was invited to Chelsea's wedding in twenty ten. Gilene Maxwell at Chelsea Clinton's wedding in twenty ten. And by that point, because by that point, Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender. He had already served fifteen months in prison for soliciting minors for prostitution. That was back in two thousand and five or two thousand and six in Florida. It's like he had already gone to
jail. But she got he pled guilty, and because he pled guilty, got a very light sentence, A little tap on the wrist and you got to go introduce yourself to the neighbors. And unfortunately, even though that doesn't seem like it was that long ago, you could use the it was a
different time cliche. Yeah, and that maybe the sentence would be a lot I don't know, Harsher, had he been convicted, pled guilty, whatever, Now I think it would be no, But that was a that was still kind of at the at that uh, that crux of sweeping things under the rug and oh, that's not he's just funny that way, he's just weird. Oh yeah, he's Yeah, I wouldn't want him maybe sitting your
kids, but other than that, he's an okay dude. You know where we were still kind of like reeling from that mindset, sure of not accepting these things to be the treacherous behaviors that they are. I mean, our eyes have been opened and hearts and minds have been changed, but for the better when it comes to this type of behavior. But that was kind of at a time where, yeah, I think that sentence would be much stiffer, for lack of a better word, now than it was then. I
think so too. But also money, you know, and if you can get away with having to do it in fact I hate since to fifteen months. I don't think he did fifteen months. I don't think he did much of that. I'm not one hundred percent sure on that. Well, look, I didn't even know about this. The quurt of public opinion now is so much broader and so many more, you know, so many more voices to be heard and opinions that are out there because of social media, because
of all the news outlets and and people can be heard. You know, back then, I didn't even know who the guy was, didn't even know that he was convicted of this. This was not national news to my eyes or ears back then. So Jeffrey Clinton claims that he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein back in two thousand and five when Epstein was accused of bringing underage girls to his Palm Beach home for sexualized massages. So yeah, powheah, No, Robert Kraft, it's a Robert Craft, is not, you know,
bringing underage girls. Epstein pled guilty, state charges, light charges, and then he had read Schre's A Sex Offender. The Wall Street Journal found some of Epstein's scheduling diaries, which is weird that scheduling diaries exist, because it throws on phones now, I guess, but some of the names that surface back then were Bill Gates, as I mentioned earlier, Woody Allen, and CIA director William Burns. Oh my, So there's a lot of politicians who
are kind of involved in this. That's another thing that consider too. This is two thousand and five that he went to jail. Yeah, man, you wonder how much leverage he had to keep that sentence light. Yeah. I mean, like I wonder if had he not maybe had the goods on some people that might have been in the decision making process on how long he was going to serve. It's like I could see a scenario where they go
to Epstein to go, look, dude, you gotta do sometime. Yeah, you know, we can't just like throw this case out or or give you probation. No, you have to go to jail for some time. And his leverages, Look, if I do more than fifteen months, I'm spilling the beans on all umf orts. So he got to leave the jail beans bade thank you. He had to leave the jail up for up to twelve hours a day on work release. Okay, did you say jerk release?
Because he was a jerk because he was a big jerk, so he uh, you know, he did have to terrible spend a lot of time there. But I was hoping The Homeless would come out by the time this segment happened, but it didn't, and it might not come out until this afternoon. It may not come out at all, but that will still be a big story that's trending in the world over the next twenty four hours. And you can damn sure bet I'll be tracking that. I mean, the
biggest name is Clinton, right, the former president. I mean, I say yes now, but dude, it can be he is you her some room? Just rumors that have been whispered for years. I'm not saying these are bigger namesan Bill Clinton, like Chelsea Handler. We're gonna see like comedians. I think you're gonna catch some actors and actresses. I think you're gonna get some Hollywood type people. Yeah, Bill Clinton the biggest one for sure.
Okay, Well what happens then? What I mean, Trump or Biden could be on there and they're running for president this year and no one will care. No, no, no, well unless you're not using it for some political argument. But I mean, look, the people that are gonna be named in this, they're gonna have to speak to it, right, They're gonna have to answer to this, or just deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, which is what you should do for everything. Just
claim that you won. Deny and claim that you won everything. That's the easy way to go, that's the modern way. Coming up next, Danny got a little more because you know, we're kind of catching up after you know, uh, big happenings of the last couple of weeks and a lot of you getting back to work today, getting back in the swing of things. The sale of the Mavericks officially went through over the holidays. I'm gonna
tell you why. It gives them a chance to be serious contenders. Next, on ninety seven one, The Freak
