So we're a couple of I guess a couple of days out and now from the disaster in Baltimore with the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the barge that hit that bridge causing a well complete collapse of that bridge, and so I want to talk about this today. I want to talk about this. I you know, a lot of people want to be first to the punch, and I think that's part of the problem, and we'll talk about that a little bit today.
So but I wanted to let this give it a little bit of time, read, think about some things, and come prepared to talk about this. Also time permitting, which I don't know how much time we're gonna i'd be talking about this bridge. The other thing that I will get into time permitting, time permitting is the fiasco at NBC over the hiring and now the firing of Roni McDaniel. So I'll get to that if we have time, if we've got time here today. But before we do that, my friends,

You've probably seen the video. You've probably heard commentary, read articles, seen developments, things on the news and so forth, and of course there are opinions and there are questions as to what happened. Was this simply an accident? Is this an act of terrorism? Is some other act of
war? I'll be honest with you, candid with you. When I first saw this first, well first, the first video I saw was a little bit hard to see. You probably seen. I don't know if there's different angles. Some of the videos are maybe blown up or zoomed in a little bit. But the first video I saw, I really couldn't tell. I didn't know what I was looking at. It took a second, and you know, it's dark and you can see the ship, but I didn't know
at first. I just saw the headline that said that the bridge collapsed. I didn't know that it was in relation to well, I didn't know what had happened, and so it took me a second. And as I watched the video and began to see what unfolded, my first instinct, candily,
was that it was an accident. It seemed to me, after I understood what I was looking at and what was going on, it looked like the ship had lost power at a critical moment in its path into the harbor there in Baltimore, and it looked like that power outage caused complete loss of control of the ship. And because of the loss of control, the loss of engines and so forth, the ship basically couldn't control where it was going, and it struck one of the main supports of the bridges, the bridge,
causing it to collapse. I also had heard pretty early on that the captain of that ship had issued may day calls, and there were reports early on, and I've even heard you may have heard as well. I'm not going to play it but there. In fact, it's probably in the stack of stuff. I've got several things there for today. But traffic was stopped by law enforcement from crossing that bridge a minute or so. Think about that as of last the last I had read, last I had heard, there were
six casualties associated with this tragedy of this bridge disaster in Baltimore. How many more could there have been if law enforcement were not able to stop traffic from crossing the bridge at a critically important time. So my first instinct upon first watching it, hearing that information and just you know, I'm not I am not a ship expert. I'm not you know, I've seen people who are engineers who work on these vessels. Some of them say this is exactly what
you would expect with the loss of power. Other people are more skeptical about the timing and which we'll get into all this, by the way, the
timing of when the power on the ship went out. But you know, at first I was thinking of, well, it didn't look like a deliberate act, and especially with the captain calling made a law enforcement causing uh well, basically preventing people from crossing that bridge, saving untold number of lives there, so that's where that's where I was when I first saw this, that it was an accident. And let me say that is still absolutely a possibility.
That is absolutely a possibility. It could be an accident, right, Accidents do happen. I'm reminded, and we all have examples of this, but I'm reminded on a larger scale of Captain Sullenberger back in two thousand and nine, leaving LaGuardia in New York City, just a few thousand feet above the surface of planet Earth, has a bird strike, causing both engines to completely fail at a very low altitude right over the city of New York. He makes what a left handed turn. He's trying to find a way.
They're going through the checklist, trying to restart engines, going through the process of troubleshooting a double engine failure at such a critically low altitude as you're needing engine power to get up to altitude and to you know, to cruising level and all that, and he loses both engines. So they're trying to troubleshoot, they're trying to figure out what their options are. It's a wonderful story story where no one lost their life. It could have been much much more
tragic. There's a movie book all this stuff out there. It's a great little story, not just a story happened in real life, but just it's one of those things that so many things could have been. It could have been infinitely worse. I mean, he could have crashed, he could have crashed into a neighborhood, crashed into an office building. I mean, it's New York City. It's not like it's, you know, just over the heartland where there's much more open space. I mean, it's a very congested
in New York City anyway. So but he lands the plane on the Hudson, and of course we all know the We've all heard him in that recording telling air traffic control, I think we're gonna be in the Hudson, just matter of factly, no panic, none of that. Just lands it in the Hudson, and everybody's fine. Remarkable, and accidents happen right Likewise,
on nine to eleven, we had something that wasn't an accident. We had nineteen terrorist hijacker, evil thogs, storm cockpits with box knives and I don't know other maybe tinier knives, killing, killing, captains of the aircraft and flight attendants taking control of said aircraft and flying them as missiles into targets, into destinations. We had two that of course hit the World Trade Towers,
which were right there where near Soli landed in the Hudson. We had one hit the Pentagon, and of course we had one that was the cockpit was stormed by the flight ninety three passengers and they bravely tried to fight to regain control because they knew where, they knew at that point what was going on. It was the fourth plane. That, of course is an act of terrorism or dare I say, an act of war an active jie hide by those radical Islamic fascist terrorists, so both can be true. Right, There
are accidents a lot. My son and I watch, drawing a blank on the name of the show, but there's air disasters, I think, is what it's called. And I'm a guy. I love to fly, but I it also I'm not comfortable. I'm not a comfortable flyer usually, so it's probably something I shouldn't watch. But we'll watch that from time to time. And there's plenty of examples of accidents. There's plenty examples of negligence where
the pilot does something stupid. There's one story that I remember seeing where it was a crash in Russia and the pilot had his children on board with him, and they came up to the cockpit and they let him sit at the controls and one of the kids bumped something that either turned I think it turned the autopilot off or some such thing. Anyway, it ends up they couldn't recover the aircraft. It crashed and it killed everyone on board. There are
accidents, there are acts of terrorism, acts of war. So in talking about this ship and this accident, the bridge collapsed, the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster. Now we begin to look at some other information. People start asking questions and making claims, as people do by the way, And at first I still wasn't persuaded by this. Then I started to hear rumors or speculation about a possible cyber attack suddenly that I didn't immediately think of that.
I thought it looked as I was thinking, the captain of the ship did everything he could. You can see, in fact, you can see smoke coming out of the you know, from the ship where it's they're putting full power to try to avoid, to try to either you know, avoid it by turning one way or putting in reverse and all this sort of stuff. So it was clear to me that the one piloting or driving the ship, captaining the ship, was doing everything in his power to stop from hitting hitting
the bridge. But you factor in cyber attack, and now it begins to be a different animal. Now you think, okay, what is that sort of thing possible? And I mean, again, I'm not an expert in this area, but if you can get into the ship's controls electronically or through some sort of a cyber weakness on the you know, some sort of a digital path into the controls of the ship, now suddenly this becomes possible. It doesn't mean that it's likely or probable, It just means that it's possible
at this particular point in time. And then I came across Laura Logan's tweet. Now I like Laura Logan. I think she's a fantastic journalist. I think she is a person who tries her best to report the truth. Nobody's of course perfect, but I believe that that's really her objective. I do I put others in this category too. I think Catherine Herridge, even though she went to the dark side at wherever she was CBS. I think,
I think that there are there are examples of real journalists out there. Jennifer is It Griffin at Fox News. She strikes me that way. There's another name that I'm spacing at the moment that I always list, and I can't. I can't think of who it is, another female journalist. But I respect Laura Logan a lot. I came across one of her tweets, which I'm gonna share with you here in just a moment. Before I do that, my friends, let me remind you that it's time to crush your vice.

Let's read what she writes, Let's see what she has to say, and let's just see if this changes things. As this is, this is what the path I was. I'm just telling you in a very transparent way, the process that I got to where
I am, which is still I don't have the answers. I just want to make sure I know that it's tempting to think that we do have all of the answers on this program. I would not blame you for thinking that. I wouldn't blame you for thinking that. But I've got hold on really quickly here. I was hit save on that other computer because it's not updated on my phone yet on the show notes. So I know it's I know it's tempting. I know it's tempting to think that we have it all figured
out here. But the truth is we we don't. We don't have it all figured out, and that's okay. In fact, that's part you know, what I'm saying, to save Okay, is it saved. That's part of the reason why. That's part of the reason of what I want to talk about here a little bit later to do today is how quickly people feel like they have to figure out these sorts of things. So let's look at
the tweet now that I've got it over here to my device. It was on the other one, and now it's saved and I can view it here. So here we go. This is her tweet. This came in I don't know, Tuesday, Tuesday afternoon. It looks like one twenty three pm. Here we go. It's a long tweet, but I'm going to read it to you. Multiple Intel sources Baltimore Bridge collapse was quote an absolutely brilliant strategic attack end quote on US critical infrastructure most likely cyber and our intelligence agencies
know it and information warfare terms. They just divide the US along the Mason Dixon line, exactly like the Civil War. Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for four to five years, writes Lara Logan. This is a tweet she set out Tuesday afternoon, she continues here, which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material fuel diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable
materials, chemicals, and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels. That supply chain is now crippled. Make no mistake, this was an extraordinary attack. Again Laura Logan's tweet here. In terms of planning, timing, and execution. The two critical components on that bridge are the two load bearing pylons on each end closest to the shore. They are bigger, thicker, and
deeper than anything else. These are the anchor points, and they knew that hitting either one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge. Half a mile. So that's, of course where the ship struck. By the way, it was one of those two pylons. This bridge is what one and a half one point six miles anyway, those are those big bridges. We don't have those really where I am. I remember when we've been traveling on the Truth Tour, we went across whatever the lake Pontcha
train bridges is twenty four miles or something. I mean it's just it's incredible. But these long bridges, you know there, you're out there over the water, and they struck a vital part, a critical component that's gonna if you take it out, the bridge is going to collapse. So half a mile of bridge went in the river. Likely you will have to build a new one. Also caused so much damage to the structural integrity of the bottom
concrete part. She's talked about the bridge here that you cannot see and won't know until they take the wreckage apart. Structural destruction likely, absolute attack, perfectly targeted. Again Laura Logan's tweet here. They have figured out how to bring us down. As long as you stay away from the teeth of the US military. This is a quote. She's got this in quote, so
I'm guessing this is from one of her sources. As long as you stay away from the teeth of the US military, you can pick the US apart. We are arrogant and ignorant, lethal combination. Obama said they would fundamentally change America, and they did. We are in a free fall ride on a roller coaster right now, no breaks, just picking up speed. The footage also shows the cargo ship never got in the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn.
Location was precise and deliberate. Chose a bend in the river where you have to slow down out and commit yourself. Once you are committed in that area, there is not enough room to maneuver. Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You're not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot. I have seen articles that said that there were two harbor pilots.
Again that are reported. She's writing here as though there were not. I can't say with absolute certainty, but I've seen people say that there were. Actual news sources say that they were, for whatever that's worth with our deceitful and duplicitous media. She continues here, they chose a full moon so they would have the maximal title shift rise and fall, brisk flow in that river on a normal day, and have had a lot of rain recently, so
water was already moving at a good pace. Hit it with enough kinetic energy to knock the load bearing pilone out from under the highway, which fatally weakens the span, and then fifty percent of the bridge fell into the water. All these factors when you look at it, This is how you teach people how to do this type of attack. And there are so few people left in the system who know this. We have a junior varsity team on the
field again Laura Logan's tweet, I'm almost done here. Tremendous navigational obstruction, huge logistical nightmay to clean this up. Number of dead is tragic, but not the whole measure of the attack. That kind of bridge constantly is under repair, always at night because there is so much traffic and they cannot obstruct that during the day. In fact, there were crews on it that night.
That's the folks who tragically passed were in those construction crews. So concern is for the repair guys who were on foot, out of their vehicles working, who may now be in the water forty eight degrees at most at this time of year, when you choke off Baltimore, she writes, the main North South hazardous corridor, that's I ninety five. You cut it in half. Now it has to go around the city or go somewhere else. To
move some of that cargo through the tunnel. You may be able to get a permit, but these are slow to get and require an escort system that is expensive and has to be done at night. For every one hundred dollars, this is worth noting here, For every one hundred dollars that goes into the city, twelve of it comes from shipping, as twelve percent. For those of you who are Bernie Sanders' supporters and not very good at math, believe this will cripple the city of Baltimore at a time when they do not
have the resources to recover. That's her tweet, long and lengthy tweet there. I've got that on the show notes page, or excuse me, the stack of stuff page on the website. Anyway, I'm going to continue this conversation. I got more to say about this, but i just want to put this out there. I'm not saying that this is definitive, but I'm
saying we should think about this. This should be something that we as Americans think about consider should also be something that we as an American government think about and consider as what well. So I'm going to take a break here. Before I do that, let me tell you about my friend Eric Wilson and I sell health. Eric Wilson has been serving clients across this country since two thousand and four. He specializes an individual health and group health plans. He's
an expert in the Affordable Care Act. I'm not saying that he's a fan of the Affordable Care Act, but he's navigated enough to understand what it is and how to help navigate his customers and clients through the complexities of that law. He's here to be a resource. He offers a free, no cost consultation. Great guy. Been a supporter of this program for several years. Phone number eight one five three seven two thirteen sixty three eight one five three

You are listening to America's home for conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host, the one, the only, the beloved tatuff back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
Talking about this tragic disaster collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, and we read a tweet from Lara Logan, Lara Logan who said that this was from based upon her sources an absolutely brilliant I'm trying to see if I have that jotted down, but basically, a brilliant cyber attack is what her sources were saying. So that is worth being aware of. That is worth CONSI that is worth knowing. Now, of course we're dealing with a
media. Now you can you should be able to say all these things. Let me say this first. You should be able to say these things. You should be able to ask questions. My heavens, asking questions is a natural and normal thing that fair minded people do. If you're not allowed to ask questions, then you're going to have trouble arriving at the truth of the situation. Questions help us to process, to piece things together. I've shared
before. I've been, I've been. I've been on a jury before in a criminal trial that involved the tragic death of a five year old boy. And the whole process of the judicial system is, you know, the attorneys ask questions, people testify, they answer questions to give jurors information. In fact, we could even ask our own questions. We had to write them and submit them to the judge and then I think he would let us ask them, or maybe they read them. I'm not really sure. I can't
remember the process, but there was the ability to do that. Asking a question. Asking a question when trying to get information is natural, and so we ought to be able to have these these discussions. The left of the media, the deceitful folks in the media, don't want to do this. They don't want to In fact, if you ask the questions, you're labeled many times a conspiracy theories. I don't have a conspiracy. I don't have a theory. I'm asking questions to see what makes sense. I took the
same approach during COVID. I took the same approach during the questions about the integrity of the twenty twenty election, and paid the price in many instances, my friends, from asking questions and then expanding upon why the question matters, and then talking about, you know what a potential a certain if you answer a question a certain way, then what are the ramifications of that, and just explaining that and thinking that through. These are natural and logical things.
These are things that fair minded people do. Now there's also a group of people that immediately when this sort of thing happens, they jump out and they start, you know, I don't know if it's for you know, I think some people, and we've deliberately built this show not to be this fact. That's one of the reasons why we wait to talk about some of these things is because I would rather be thoughtful and correct in my approach and in
my thinking than breaking the news story. I would rather help people think about these things correctly, and then, you know, in totality versus just jumping out there to be the first person. Those people want clicks. Those people are looking for legitimacy as far as being someone who has information, and sometimes they're prepared to get it completely wrong. The amount of times that this happens is remarkable, really. Fact, I'm reminded of the Supreme Court case back
when the Supreme Court made a ruling on the Obamacare legislation. It's the case that Justice John Roberts changed his Fact, if you read the opinion, you can see that there's evidence to suggest that he changed his vote along the process before the you know, before the final vote was made or the decision and was released or whatever. They believe that he changed his vote. And I remember, I won't name the individual who did this, but I remember listening
and they handed out the ruling. This individual I think was at the Supreme Court that day. They got their hands on the opinion, start flipping through it vigorously, just to be the first to say it. And this individual said exactly the wrong thing. They got it completely wrong. They thought that the Supreme Court ruled against the individual man, or the tax, whatever it was it was at the tax, whether something was considered a tax or not.
And they told their listeners and their audience something that was not factually true. And that's what happens when you build your programming on breaking news. I would much rather I don't need to be the first on the scene. I just want to be one of the voices of reason. I want to be one of the voices or the voice that just thinks about these things fairly and that takes a step back, that takes a deep breath, and then approaches
or discusses the issue very in a very measured way. Now these things matter. I mean, this is if it's an accident, it's tragic. If it's an act of terrorism, it's tragic, and we got to deal with that right. If it's an act of war, it's tragic, and we've
got to figure out how to deal with that. These things matter. These things matter in lots of voice, but it matters in regards to who we're going to have in the White House making decisions like this, how to respond to these things if in fact it is something beyond just a mere accident. But I understand, we've got the perfect recipe here. We've got the perfect recipe for all of this to happen. We have the seven pillars of propaganda,
which we talk about on this program. They lie to us constantly, They gaslight us, they deceive us, they keep information from us, they feed propaganda to us. They have a desired outcome. They don't simply want to give us information. They want us to make certain choices. They want to make us into a little leftists. They want to make us people who are willing to give up our liberty in exchange for whatever government promise can come
next. I'm talking about the media. I'm talking about big woke business, I'm talking about big tech. I'm talking about government, science, entertainment. These folks are here. These folks are here to unfortunately unfortunately deceive us. Now that doesn't mean that a person who's a journalist. In fact, I said Laura Logan, good journalist, I said, Catherine Herritge, good journalists. There are good journalists out there, but we don't trust these folks.
The vast majority of them are not worthy of our trust. So if that's the case. If that's the case, then that's the first kind of foundational component. We don't trust what we're being told, and we don't trust why we're being told the things that we are told. We don't believe that they're really trying to give us the true information. Sheryl Atkinson's the other journalists that
just popped in ahead that I couldn't think of her name. But we trust folks like that, or we should, I think, But it's a perfect recipe. Then you've got a factor in the people who have the fear of it's a real fear for many people of feeling like they've been duped. They don't want to admit that they Like me. I mean, I shared with you that my first instinct when I watched the video was that it was just
a tragic accident. Now I don't know what I think, but a lot of people don't want to be see if they feel like if they say they thought it was an accident that the government got them. So then by default everything becomes a government conspiracy. And the danger there, my friends, is that we end up giving these clowns too much control, too much power, too much credit for being able to deceive and manipulate. They're not that good. We give them way too much credit and power. At times. They're
not as good as we seem to suggest. They're not that masterful, though they're constantly trying. I'm not saying that, but they're not as flawless as we sometimes would think. So I'm going to continue this discussion into the next
segment. But my friends, if you are looking for the ultimate health supplement, consider our friends at z Stack.

Welcome back, my friends. So don't have time to get into the fiasco at NBC over RONI McDaniel.
That's gonna have to wait for when we have more time. I want to continue this discussion here about just where we are, not just well just as a country, where we are with we don't trust people, and that is we don't trust the media, we don't trust the government, we don't trust the other folks in the seven pillars of propaganda. They have lied to us too many times. And so what are we supposed to do at some point when they tell when there's something like this, this disaster, this bridge collapse,
what are we supposed to do? Just believe them and take them at their word. And if you don't take them at their word, and I'm not suggesting you do, what are your other options? What are your other options? Because folks, we won't there's no other way to know. We
have to trust somebody giving us information. And I will say this, I will say this, and building upon a point, we made last segment, which is that there's a lot of folks that just have a fear of looking like they got fooled by the government or by whoever, but in this case by the government or by the media. They don't want to be appear as though there's someone who got the wool pulled over their eyes. But there's still nothing wrong with saying I don't know. And that's what I want to tell
you today. I don't know. I don't know, but I'll say this. And if you remember during COVID, I remember talking about kind of like this concept of a three leg stool. There were in the COVID response there absolutely, while the government was way out of bounds, there absolutely were concerns about public health that were legitimate government concerns and concerns of the people. But we also had to take into consideration the other legs of that stole the economy
and our constitutional freedom. And folks, we have to understand that there are people who hate this country. They hate you, they hate your liberty, they hate your beliefs. And while many of those enemies may be foreign, some of those folks are unfortunately domestic. They're here in the United States. We have to realize and understand the United States of America is a target. We have to acknowledge that terrorism is still a real thing. In fact,
it's on the march again. It's coming across our southern borders. It was allowed to expand even further after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal ISIS, which became was was turning Trump's administration is now on the march again. We have to knowledge that there's tension around the globe, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas, China, Taiwan, We've got Iran, we've got North Korea, we've got radical Islamic terrorists. But we also have to acknowledge that accidents can happen too.
And I referenced the story of Captain Sullenberger earlier in the program. Everything is not part of their plan. Everything is not a black Swan event. Everything is not a false flag. Though I don't put it past these folks to do that either, But I think that thinking that everything is part of the plan is part of their masterful deception, ends up giving them way too much power, way too much credit. These folks, in reality, are not God. They are fallible, They make mistakes, They are arrogant,
they're foolish. Sometimes their ego and pride gets the best of them. In truth, I think we need to simply recognize that there's a couple of different things that are that are all that are true. All these things I believe are true. That there are people out there who hate us enough to launch a terror attack on the ship. It doesn't mean that that's what happened,
but it absolutely could have been a possible solution. It's true that there are government officials that are corrupt enough to lie and to cover it up, and the media fake enough to ignore it, all while recognizing that accidents can still happen. I've got to go, my friends, have a great day. SDG.
