There's no place to escape to this is the last time on the left
That's when the cannibalism started
Okay guys listen, huh? We'll be talking a lot of smack
But I think what's important before we start today's episode
We each name one thing that we love and and cherish about white culture
Oh, no choose something. What do you love? What do you celebrate with what celebrates white people? I?
celebrate collages the
Fidget spinners. I don't know what the hell what I have no idea comic-cons
That's finally some positivity besides just never being arrested for crime and always being president
All right, this is the last podcast of the left. I bet guess that's Marcus Parks
And I don't think I introduced us last time as a matter of fact. I bet you didn't I don't think you did
Oh, no, we're sitting here. We're in my Los Angeles apartment. Yeah, it's hot my feet are up
I can smell my own balls and I'm wearing like gym shorts because it's too hot in here. I'm three inches away from you
It's a really great experience. All right. Well, let's get on here
We got Oklahoma City part for a lot more to get to in the Timothy McVeigh saga
so in September of 1994 President Bill Clinton approved the 10-year assault rifle ban and with that the gathering of the
Explosives and components needed for the April 19th bombing truly began now in conspiratorial thought
Let's take a little break from rationality for a second. I mean honestly guys
We're always so rational and logical. Uh-huh. That's that's exactly how I describe you now
Would that maybe be the conspiratorial arm of being like basically they make a gun ban
And that's what allows them to send in covert agents into the different white nationalist groups in order to spur
Revolutionary attitude basically they create the legislature and then create the backbone of sending in sheep
No, do you have any idea what it takes to pass a fucking bill? No, I never was a cool house rock
Yeah, there's a cartoon that explains it. This whole thing is ridiculous though
It got so totally blown out of proportion. The Brady bill was kind of wrapped up into this
They weren't going after weapons that were already sold as assault rifles
They weren't going to people's homes and taking them
They were just putting a halt on the sale of assault rifles. It's like, you know what?
We got enough assault rifle so many of you guys can sell assault rifles to each other. That's totally cool
You can do that whenever and wherever you want
We're just not gonna make any more of them if I was president. I would also put a 10-year ban on pornography. We're good
We have enough. What's wrong with you? We have so much. What are you talking about this town, Los Angeles?
I'm sorry California. It's off the I saw gang bang video this morning that I'd never seen before and it made me have congrats
Well, this is this is that was an immediate democracy. Thank you for the town hall
I have now changed my position now
There is a very interesting connection to Elohim City concerning September of 1994 the same month that the assault rifle ban was signed
the only two recorded instances of McVeigh being near Elohim City was a ticket in the fall of
1993 not too long after McVeigh met Strasmeyer and a night McVeigh spent in a motel just over the Arkansas
State Line near Elohim City on September 12th 1994 the day before the assault rifle ban was signed into law
Can you imagine being the poor woman that were a man that works at that hotel?
It has to clean up the room after Timothy McVeigh every single time just having to deal with all the different hair clippings from keeping his brush
Cut tight. I feel like they actually go and like untuck the sheets a little bit
They're like this man must be a sociopath. I think you're so tough. I think he's the kind of guy that eats the soap thinking
Food
So in October of 1994 McVeigh took over a storage locker in Harrington, Kansas
Which Terry Nichols had planned to use to store furniture and McVeigh started loading it up with all the material needed for the bomb now
Tim I definitely you know
I give you an inch and you took a mile and when it comes down to it. Where am I going to put these duvets?
I have piles and piles of duvets. I have I have a levée chair
I forgot what that's called the liaison where you lay down it so you look impressive
Impressively bored. I have one of those chairs a chaise lounge. I like that
You know, what if we fill it with a momy ammonia nitrate instead? Whatever you want. I guess you're my boss now
I would love to see that this storage locker opened on storage wars. What do we got there? Oh all the makings of a bomb
Close up the storage
We close up the shed
So the nuts and bolts materials McVeigh and Terry acquired from a quarry robbery
The fuel came from racing tracks and hobby stores who both sold nitro methane for different reasons
Oh, not not to make homemade bombs interesting
No racing tracks sold it for nitro and hobby stores sold it for model airplanes
Make it all make it model airplanes. They say there is a hidden demographic of sniffers and hoffers
They're all in the model airplane business
So the ammonium nitrate was purchased in eight different locations with McVeigh and Nichols stopping off at every feed store
They could find to eventually amass
4,000 pounds of the stuff and after the two had spent a couple months gathering up all this material
Nichols started getting a little suspicious about the whole stockpiling explosives things as he said he thought at this point
That the whole thing was just kind of a lark because honestly it started with his obsession with pop rocks and I thought at the point
It's like I don't know my friend. It hurts my gums. I don't like it
But he loved it and started with pop rocks and then immediately he killed a dog
With a hand grenade
What do you think Terry Nichols is just trying to wash his hands of all this, right?
Had to know something was going on. Yeah, he knew something was going on
But Nichols was was two things. He was a coward, of course
Yes, and he was also very good at denial. Well, they're also very private
Yes, all of these guys are very much so that weird sovereign citizen thing of like, you know, like don't don't don't remember anything about me
Right almost now when Nichols confronted McVeigh, Tim came clean about the plan and when Nichols said he wouldn't have any part of it
Nichols said that McVeigh pulled his jacket back and showed him the 45 and shoulder holster
Nichols said McVeigh told him that if he didn't go through with it
McVeigh would kill his son his brother and his mother this Nichols said was his main motivation for helping Tim all the way to the end
I don't know about that. We say is that a threat or a promise I want you to kill somebody that doesn't make me sad all the time
That's what I'm thinking. Just flip it and be like here are their home addresses. Perfect. Thank you
In order to pay for the whole bombing operation McVeigh said
Nichols was gonna have to procure the money by robbing McVeigh's old friend from the gun circuit Roger Moore whom McVeigh referred to as
Bob from Arkansas
Because Bob Miller was the name
That Roger Moore would use at gun shows because a lot of times these gun show guys. They didn't use their real names there
They didn't trust each other
It's like a Robert De Niro if you know him in a movie and you have to like do some kind of talk about him
I like on the side for like BTS or kind of interview you call him Bobby. Yeah, so they're gonna rob their friend
They're gonna rob their friend now the motivations here are actually a little unclear McVeigh said that he learned Roger's security system
while he was there visiting and that Roger
Deserved it because he was a plastic patriot who would turn his stockpile over to the FBI without a fight now
It is very possible that Roger knew the whole thing was coming and that the robbery was set up in order to conceal where
The funding was coming from for the bombing a kind of like Backwood's money laundering type operation kind of like him putting
Basically getting a hotel room next to Elohim City
So he can go stay there without there being any sort of trail leading him over there because you can say oh look here
I was actually staying at a hotel. I do love it when you know when you know the person robbing you
We're just like Terry. What are you doing with the gun down?
But now was this a part of Operation Clean Sweep? No, he just gave up his guns
No, he didn't give up his guns McVeigh said that if Roger Moore had his property raided then Roger Moore
Would just give up his guns without a fight, but he said he was a plastic. They speculated that yeah, they
Opposed yeah, he was exactly he was a poser because McVeigh thought that if you had a bunch of guns
And the government stormed your property then you needed to fight to the death come into a guy
Yeah, that's the idea. That's that's a real patriot does they stupidly die
Well, the reason why some people think that Roger Moore was forewarned about it and was even in on this robbery
It was because for months afterwards McVeigh and Moore exchanged a series of bizarre cryptic letters
Even though it was obvious that McVeigh was behind the whole thing and Moore made sure to say that Timothy McVeigh was behind the robbery
Loudly, my best friend Timothy McVeigh gave all the way to us just to steal my gold
Because you know he kept his money on and gold
Oh, of course
No, he did but he stole a bunch of gold a bunch of silver and a lot of precious jewels
The end of the goonies these kids think that like just emeralds and rubies are good like it'd be not be just it's difficult to fence
These so that Snickers bar will be a dollar twenty-five. I only have pirates money
It's a it's a marble
In one of those cryptic letters Moore wrote to McVeigh nine days before the bombing Moore wrote
Plans to bring the country down and have a few more things happen
The important thing is to make it as effective as possible
And Moore signed the letter Bob and wrote burn in uppercase letters next to his signature and when the FBI questioned more
He said that he was just trying to lure McVeigh to his ranch
So McVeigh could be arrested for the robbery because that's how it always works a bunch of heroes burn Wow bring your
raccoon net
It's a w that your starts with it. What yeah, it's a it's a why?
President you cannot spell word it has been a long week
Stuck in traffic and the LA Sun does take your brain cells out absolutely does
Honestly Tim when you do come into town bring your raccoon net because it is it might my whole fucking compound is infested
And I'm not doing cute racist raccoon. I mean real dog-shaped guy raccoon
It's like buffalo in here and as for the effective as possible line more said he just couldn't remember what he meant by that
Like yeah, so the FBI came asked so like so what did you mean by this line?
It must be as effective as possible. He's like, you know, I just don't remember huh honestly
I was talking about my noxibilt isn't that wild and his shitty of an answer is that was the FBI?
I totally believed him and set him free without any follow-up now
It could be that more who had much more experience with explosives than either McVeigh or
Nichols had more to do with the plot that anyone is letting on
Except Terry Nichols Nichols told investigators fairly recently that a pack of the explosive component
Kinetics could be found on his property with Bob Moore's fingerprints on him
The FBI did find the kinetics, but they didn't test them for fingerprints for another three years
And after those three years the prints were deemed unreadable
Moore also claimed to be a protected government witness at one point
But on the other hand a lot of these guys claim to be protected government witness because it's a fun idea
Yeah, sure. Yeah, Strasmeyer said that same thing
But we do that is how the FBI gets these people they flip them and enforce them to rat on other
Well, maybe it's possible. Honestly, they probably were fishing. We're probably asking them see what he knew
See if he'd be willing to flip and he'd be like, no, no, no, but it's secretly
Yeah, well, it's actually oddly plausible to think that these different government agencies who weren't talking to each other at all
Had so many protected government witnesses out there that these guys were just yes ending each other and to carry in the shit out
In fact one ATF agent told a story about how the ATF and the FBI were supposed to get together to share information about
Elohim Elohim city and according to the agent the two agencies met in a conference room had small talk and left without mentioning
Elohim city once all because each agency didn't trust the other one
And if there was a big bus to be had at Elohim city that specific agency wanted the credit for it
Thank you so much for having us over FBI. I couldn't help but notice in this conference room. You have so many
squeaky chairs
Nice to see you CIA man. These chairs are squeaky
It would be a shame if someone came in here and
oiled
Some of these squeaky chairs use chairs could use some oil because the squeak and I'm hearing
It's damn near unacceptable
Man, this is a heck of a meeting, right?
It's got a fun kind of fun. Can you feel it? We were like it's like tension. Are you playing Genesis?
Yes. Yes, I got it from when I was a child. It's my game here
No, this sort of interdepartmental rivalry was the exact same behavior that led to 9-11 just six years later when the CIA and the FBI
Weren't talking to each other. Nothing was learned from Oklahoma City by these people and thousands of people died because of it
Do you ever think of the paperwork though Marcus? Yeah, honestly, how much paperwork? I think so much. They avoided they save the trees
I loved that the CIA and the FBI were like that comic strip the lock horns just never getting along
It's really funny in the strip, but then in reality, it leads to domestic terrorism
Now after the robbery was done Nichols decided the heat was getting a little too high
So he fucked off to the Philippines with Marifae for a couple of months
Even though Nichols was terrified that Marifae's ex-boyfriend Jojo Angelito, Florida was gonna come call it
Do you see how many baskets of a right Popeye as I have?
I would have loved to see that fight
Now when McVeigh realized that Nichols had left the country he turned to Michael 48 to help him out Michael might make it Michael
Yeah, how do we never see each other? No, no, no, not Jojo Angelito, Florida
Timothy McVeigh turned to Michael 48 Jesus Christ. Jojo is my favorite name ever on this podcast by the way. Jojo Angelito, Florida
Yeah, it's just a lot of fun
Then McVeigh once he hooked back up with Michael 48
He laid out the entire bombing play for the 48 family even going so far as to show
48's wife how he planned to position the barrels in the truck using 15 cans of soup as a visual aid
Now tell me tell me now are these cans gonna actually be filled with soup?
No, no, a momy a monion a momy and a momy and nitrate, so you can't even say the name
How am I supposed to trust you gonna take this building down? I'm thinking we'll just use soup and we slowly kill them with sodium
The world's biggest soup um
So in December of 1994 McVeigh and 48 went to the Alfred P. Murab building to case the joint
McVeigh despite his many protests to the opposite was seen inside the Murab building that day
And not only that McVeigh
Actually talked to one of the women who worked at the daycare specifically about the daycare center
What is they make they said that he had two young kids and was planning to move into the area
He asked no questions about the daycare operations themselves and was only interested in the layout where the entrances were where the exits were
And he was very interested in the plate glass windows next to the infant's nap area
If someone that looks like Timothy McVeigh says they have two young kids go find them and return them to their parents
Now according to the woman he talked to McVeigh kept repeating
There's just so much glass over and over and over again
Can I just ask you can I can I just see an infant because I just want to feel
How soft it is creepy question Tim is it yes
Well, I I mean I obviously have two kids in my own so I know how soft they are what are the names and what's the name of your children
Ram jam and
daycare
But as this woman was talking to Timothy McVeigh her fiance showed up
So McVeigh hid behind a corner and ran away through the back door
There's also a witness that puts straw smire there with him that day on that day that straw smire was around and again
The way you can tell that that fucking straw smire was there was that they said there was a buck tooth man with a german accent
And it's very difficult to miss. I feel like if you were a fucking
You're an agent you're trying to hide it from trying to hide your identity for people you wear a bandana
Or you change your teeth or you at least pretend to have another accent. I do it all the time
It just it it just seems like a stupid quintin tarantino movie
So we had the german was there. It's definitely closer to bottle rocket than pulp fiction. Yes, that's true
So the german was there 48 was there and McVeigh all three of them
Yeah, okay, I mean we I mean we don't know for sure if straw smire was there
But we definitely know McVeigh and 48 were there
Now the only reason why this daycare center encounter wasn't introduced into trial
Was because that witness confused that incident with another incident with a weirdo that happened in march when the FBI knew
McVeigh was in arizona
But this visit coincided completely with michael 48's testimony that they were in oklahoma city in december of
1994 and this woman gave this statement prior to that being public knowledge
1994 is also when a couple of characters named denis mayhon and carol howe
Walk onto the elohim city oklahoma city stage finally this is their star moment
It just gets dumber now andrius straw smire was friends with the white supremacist named denis mayhon
Who is considered to be so dangerous by the uk and canada that they barred him from entering their countries on the grounds
That he was an international terrorist, but honestly, he just did not like the toronto raptor
I don't think they were around yet
And mayhon is a former imperial dragon of the kkk and is also the leader of the white arian resistance aka war
In tulsa, which is around still yeah, definitely still around
He is also on camera saying that one day there will be a 100 foot tall statue of timmy themic veigh
Celebrated patriot. Wow a 100 foot statue. Wow
Wow
Now john malar son of robert malar and the current patriarch of elohim city considers denis mayhon to be a friend
Good now, let's hear a little from john malar about his thoughts on people like denis mayhon and their beliefs
I would say I don't realize why being a racialist
Makes you a hater
You have people today that'll raise quarter horses and they're very peculiar with each quarter horse and how they
You know breed them in order to get a shell horse or with
You know bulldogs or pomo anions or any other animal like that so in order to
Uh, you know save the integrity of each species. It's important that they stay within their own group
And that's the way we film what we fill the scripture teachers like that
Yeah, the scripture of loony tunes the book of elmer fun
I don't want to malign people with with interesting voices, but you can't absolutely malign his fucking ass
He's got a shitty voice. He's got sounds like an idiot. I've never heard the term racialist before
No, you never heard the term wasoist. Oh wasoist
What an idiot now malar went on to say this an article about elaheem city about
Denis mayhon
No, I don't know what he's done in his life. He's seemed like a decent man to me
I agree with some of his thoughts not all of them not by all chart
But I do agree with some of his thoughts. He sounds like someone who is just constantly getting his gums numbed by a dentist
Oh
Mr. Malar, what thoughts do you agree on? Oh, I don't we all like a milkshake
And we all agree that the ways is to be separated and ice cream should be separated
I hate the mix of ice cream when you put the torque with in the vanilla together. It's just a shame. I hate to swoo
sort of the best uh
Combos there is
The mahan's girlfriend was a woman named carol how those two met when how called mahan's
Dial-a-racist hotline after she had what sounded like a minor confrontation with some black dudes at a party dial-a-racist dial-a-racist
Yeah, it was the number
I'm not even gonna say
No, it was a it was a phone number that people could call to uh report
Incidents with races other than white people bad
Okay, yeah
So carol howe was a tulsa debutant whose brand of rebellion was joining a white supremacist group and getting a big black swastika
Tattooed on her back
She started dating mahan, but when she tried to leave he raped her she filed charges
Which is when the fbi looking for an informant to infiltrate right-wing extremist groups recruited her
It's a best way to get a fucking someone an informant ex-girlfriends. Yeah, oh sure
Now she reconnected with mahan in late 1994 and started reporting back what she was seeing and hearing
Now apparently mahan was spending his time detonating homemade hand grenades and was planning to blow up a mexican owned video store
But the atf sat on it. Look it right there. It's got a mexican name right on it's a vide-o
This video that's no vide-o story
Some kind of mexican talk and getting there to damn mexicans dancing with joy celebration drinking beers having being relaxed
Celebrating working hard and selling supporting their families. I hate them damn vide-o stories
I want a jacket
And when mahan bragged about setting off a 500 pound ammonium nitrate bomb in michigan the atf
Still did nothing now ha was just supposed to keep tabs on mahan
But when she eventually made her way to elaheem city
She found strawsmire's boot camp and was told by the fbi to refocus on straws fire goofy or not
Honestly, I saw a video of uh Dennis mahan when he was going through
He was doing training at the csa and it showed him firing various guns
And then he was so he had a dillinger and he was struggling to put it on
top of his head and covering it with this hat
Like he was trying to show that he could have a gun under his hat
And he would put it and it was sliding back and forth his hat going and he kept trying to take off the hat and reveal the
Derringer at the same time and it looks like fucking
Looks like a chris farley movie. Yeah, that's brilliant
Yeah in december 1994 the same month that mcvay and 40a went to case the mirror building
How filed a report that strawsmire was planning to take action with assassinations mass shootings and bombings
That same month robert malar instructed his troops in a fiery sermon to finally take action
How was also told that something was being planned for april
But she wasn't far enough into the inner circle to find out what exactly in other words the government had way
Way more reason to raid elaheem city than they had to raid waco. Mahan had hand grenades large explosions using
Ammonium nitrate and violet rhetoric while strawsmire who was an illegal alien and could have been arrested at any time
Was arming and training a combat force and I heard he has guns under his hat
You don't know what I got on my shoes
guns feet
It's feet my feet are gross
Okay, but because the atf and the fbi were still reeling from the bad press of waco
They recalled carol howe declaring her an unreliable witness and just hoped that everything was going to work itself out
That's what I want out of my government agency's hope
But honestly carol howe herself was it was very unreliable. I would say her specifically
She was contradictory
But a lot of her information was corroborating because she kept going back and forth fucking mahan and not because they got back together
The part of when she came back as an informant she was like around the area and hanging out and watching everything still in his vicinity
But she he got her back and so when they began began to date again
She went off the radar and then when they broke up again, she came back and started talking to the fbi
Yeah, maybe not the most trustworthy person, but she did have
A fair amount of information her information about these people was being corroborated by shit
They already knew about these people and the atf director at the time john macaw said in 2010 that the only reason
Why they didn't go into elaheem city was because the atf hadn't been properly retrained after waco
And they weren't ready for a proper full-scale assault and macaw also acknowledged in 2010
That the decision to not go into elaheem city might have caused the atf
There one slim chance to prevent oklahoma city
But it must also be said that how never gave information about april 19th 1995
Specifically until the bombing had already happened, but also go these groups
Learned from waco as well and they learned how to cover their tracks a little bit more
And I think that's a part of it too the guys that are really in charge
The day I always believe there's kind of a trickle down of intelligence in these groups where the guys are in charge
Like malar, ellison, they are actually very smart as the as the ranks get lower and lower
Or people get dumber and dumber in the context of white supremacists
Yes, and so what I think that they did is they understand is that what you do is you hire dummies
That don't know what they're doing that you can pawn off lots of patsies you have many patsies everywhere
You also have no fucking no proof no written proof no paper trails
And so they did that they did that very well
It would be very difficult for them to actually pull together the legal case to get the warrant to go into elaheem city
And then once they do it, how do you prosecute them if they hide all their fucking weapons?
There's an illegal german with guns under his hat
Well, you got that guy, but that's the thing you get that guy and then you got that guy and then you flip that guy
Oh, he can't be flipped look at his teeth. Yeah, well, I mean that argument right there
We're gonna get into later on in the episode because that is the exact same argument that the government used to not
Go after all these guys and it is a shitty fucking argument. Yes, of course
So let me ask it. Oh
You're ready to get sexy. Oh, I don't know
I was in the contest of Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City. I woke up this morning. Am I ready to get sexy like now?
Sexy I had a dream last night. Rose McGowan was in my dream. I was eating in bagel nude. This is true
I woke up
Beening ding ding hard. Was it the bagel or rose McGowan that got you aroused. I don't know
I'm ready for the story. Okay, so in february of 1995
Timothy McVeigh was picked up as he was walking across a bridge near a bullhead, Arizona by a man in a Ford Mustang
I don't want to think about what is about to happen
And McVeigh offered the guy five bucks to give him a ride to Kingman the guy named Richard Rogers
Dickie Rogers
He said he wouldn't take a dime
But he would be interested in a little fucking as he had been at a casino all night. It was feeling quote
A little horny with something about you go to that slot machine and you pull that a long pole
And it's got the thick head on the top and then berries
Go whipping or whipping whipping past your face
This guy without a doubt had the ass gas or grass
Bummer sticker with a Kelvin and Hobbes pissing on like a Ford logo or something
Funny thing was Rogers said he immediately recognized McVeigh from another roadside encounter
He'd had the year before aren't you the centerfold the july centerfold of brush cut monthly?
I'm flattered to remember favorite things talking about Waco. Oh my god sucking dick
Now the first time Rogers had picked up little Timothy McVeigh
Timothy took his dick out and asked Rogers if he wanted to party which is slang for homosexual sex
Thank you Marcus. Thank you. Oh, wow. So that's what all these facebook invites are about interesting
Rogers said no the first time
But yes the second and the two ended up in Rogers trailer outside Kingman when the trailers are rocking
Do come a knocking because I am fighting a snake
Now the only thing that makes me think this story is true
Is that Rogers said as soon as they got into the trailer McVeigh immediately just started talking about Waco
Oh, no, that's a that's a total boner killer. He always does this not for when you're on the far right
It's a boner fucking feeder. I guess so but when they finally got down to business
Rogers said McVeigh's throat and tongue action was quote
incredible
Throat and tongue action
Stars on yelp. I would have given him five stars if he had made me yelp again yelp is about yelling
I understand they I never want to think about this ever again
I didn't think was that the Rogers said that neither one of them
Uh reached climax that night because they were just both too tired. I just don't really I don't understand
You would go so far as to pay another weird militant man to have sex with you. Oh, no, this is all this was free
He refused payment. He refused payment. He's not a plastic patriot. You don't monetize love
Now in the morning Rogers made McVeigh bacon and eggs McVeigh left and then two never had another experience
Aside from a couple of awkward run-ins at the grocery store. Oh, hey, sorry. I'm sorry
I'm just trying to get around you to over here to the cucumbers. Hey Tim
You know my cart kind of a squeaky wheel
Yeah, me too. I guess I could really use some lubricant
Man a sail on pretzel. Yeah
Yeah, kind of like a bunch of legs. I'll wrap around each other in a trailer deep deep deep in the Ozarks
Anyway, anyway readers digest. Yeah, tell me about it
Well, not too long after that McVeigh forged a driver's license at the 40a house using the alias Robert Kling
So he could rent the rider truck
He would eventually use for the bombing in Oklahoma City on April 19th
McVeigh chose Kling partly because he knew a soldier named Kling who kind of looked like him, but mostly
Because Kling was short for Klingon because if you'll remember McVeigh was a massive fucking nerve
What is going on because Klingon's a warrior? Yeah, I understand
Warf
Warf was the true warrior
Casual homosexual warf
This is what we need football players in every community
That would just bully Timothy McVeigh
No, on April 5th McVeigh called Elohim City for just under two minutes
Which we know for a fact because McVeigh used a calling card for all of his long distance calls
We actually know quite a bit about the places that McVeigh called in the months leading up to the bombing because he had a calling card
He used one of those cards where you you pay it and then you can use it at various pay phones
So that's how they basically ping him everywhere. He goes. We know that he was probably at Elohim City
We know the fact that the all of these concepts the idea of bombing a federal building, especially in Oklahoma City
Specifically, the more building have been floating around Elohim City and he definitely had contact to Strasmeyer. They probably cased them
We're building together
Do you think they kissed?
I don't know. I don't think Strasmeyer was type. He needs something more gruff
I guess and when McVeigh called Elohim City, Malar's daughter-in-law was the one who answered and she told the FBI
McVeigh was looking for Strasmeyer
McVeigh told her that he was thinking of visiting soon and Malar's daughter-in-law said that any friend of Andy's was a friend of Elohim City
Isn't that nice? Did I mention I'm African-American? Oh, nevermind
The reason why this call was significant was because it was made directly after McVeigh had called a rental spot in Havasu City near
Kingman inquiring about a rider truck
It gets even more interesting when you take into account another call that was made from McVeigh to Elohim City
Right after McVeigh secured the rider truck rental in Junction City, Kansas
Now it could be that McVeigh was calling Strasmeyer to update him on the progress of their mission if
Strasmeyer was indeed involved or it could be that McVeigh was just looking for a place to hide out after the bombing
However, McVeigh did once tell one of his defense lawyers that Elohim City was quote
Pretty fucking hardcore and the Ian Strasmeyer work quote brothers and arms literally in each other's arms
So a few days after that second call McVeigh was seen at a strip club in Tulsa called Lady Godiva's
Which only has three stars on Yelpon. She died by fucking a horse. Really? No Lady Godiva
No, Lady Godiva rode a horse naked and you're thinking of the Catherine uh, the great urban legend that she died fucking a horse
Marcus is very serious about this. I don't know. I don't know who to believe
Believe me
I don't know
I heard Lady Godiva had intercourse with the horse. See that then led to her inevitable death. That's what I know
Make truth happen. Oh other thing about Lady Godiva's though is that they have a daily lunch special
And on Fridays you can get a BLT from just five bucks
Wow, and who doesn't want a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich from a strip club Tuesdays in case it is
I love Hey, see how I'm making here. I go over here names. God says it's been so nice. So nice to see you
I'm just here for the BLT. I'm just here for that. Yeah, I can tell you know why cause your lips kind of look like little strips of bacon
And that makes my okay
Look over here first. I don't open up this loaf of bread using just my feet. Okay. I just want the BLT
Oh, yeah
Now I get this slice of bread then the funny thing about my little body come back for quesadilla too
No, no, no, no. You gotta make this sandwich for you. Look, let me show you why they call me the actor per stash girl
I take off my big old sailor like penis and you see how long my bajinus BLT is kind of a healthy alternative to a hamburger
slap a tentacle
On top of that pizza bread
Strag you know
This is how I get my squatting. I really and then you got Friday making oh my oh my oh my tentacle my tentacle's getting all burned out
Oh my gosh, please
It's actually a really good sandwich. Thank you
You can take three hands
A stripper working that night specifically remember nick bay being there with an annoying bucktooth german
Oh, now. I'm sure you're thinking ben
Don't address this to me. I'm just saying that you you know, they seem to have a lot of time strippers have short term memories
Yeah, yeah, it's odd that a stripper would remember one customer out of the no doubt dozens that they had over the month of April
19 there's six foot seven and red red haired and just out there
I don't know they I think they want to forget most of the customers. They say I think so
But here's audio from the strippers dressing room captured the night that timothy mcvay was there
And I think we should say sex worker. They're not sex workers. They're exotic dancers. Yeah, the strippers. They're not sex workers
Yeah, they're not jerking off always
If they were jerking dudes off in the back room, then we would say stress okay, but right now they're just exotic dancers
Fancy they might be sex workers. They're strippers. I don't know it's lady. Good divas. Oh lady. Good divas
It is a Tulsa, Oklahoma
strip club
Yeah, that's rough. Yeah over that. You know what else isn't Tulsa, Oklahoma. What bottom the bottoms up club. What happens there?
Bottoms up
That's where Polish people park their bikes
That's what they say when Polish people are dying to die there bored with their asses sticking out of the grid
Well here is a clip that if this is the audio from the video surveillance footage that was in the strippers dressing room
Shit, what does she say there?
She said you're gonna remember me because mcvay sat down mcvay was getting a laugh dance
And he told her am a really smart guy and she and then he went further saying on april 19th 1995
You're gonna remember me for the rest of your life
Interesting. Honestly, our strippers are the front lines of american intelligence because you could get so much information out of a man
If you're dancing on his hard penis, I guess I would yeah, absolutely
Well along with mcvay and stress marve was an olive skinned
Dark complexed man who bore a strong resemblance to jondo number two who will now finally make his appearance
God, I've been waiting for three episodes to talk about jondo number two comes from a long line of jondos. His father was jondo number one
So on april 17th 1995 timothy mcvay went to junction city, kansas checked into the dreamland motel
And traveled over to elliott's body shop where he rented the rider truck he used in the bombing
Now as we said in episode one
When the axle from the rider truck was found in downtown oklahoma city after the bombing
It was traced to elliott's body shop
In junction city, kansas and a sketch was done of mcvay
But according to the witnesses who described mcvay, he was not alone
A second sketch was done of a man still known to this day only as jondo number two
All three witnesses who saw mcvay that day all agreed that mcvay was not alone
And they all agreed on the basic physical characteristics of jd2 namely that he was short stocky and dark skinned
Now the sketch of jondo number two that we know is actually all wrong
Nobody really knows quite how that sketch got to be the sketch of record
But the people who describe jd2 have said on multiple occasions that that's not the guy they saw
In fact, no one has ever really recognized the guy in that sketch
But when a second sketch of jondo number two was done more and more people started saying that they'd seen the man with the olive skin
With mcvay particularly on the morning of the bombing itself a property owner in missouri syd mcvay nickels and jd2
Showed up a couple of months before the bombing inquiring about a property with a cave
Possibly a place where mcvay could hide out after the bombing
Interesting you wanted to be a cave dweller. I guess so it's a good place to hide out the property owner describe mcvay with
uncanny detail right down to a discolored
Eye-tooth on the upper right side of his mouth and a filling mcvay had showing through his enamel
Why is he looking at his mouth? Yeah, that seems like way intense information to have and this guy
He actually did well the investigative
This was when the defense attorneys were going around mcvay's defense attorneys were going around trying to find out if there
Was anyone else involved in this they found this guy
And this guy had I mean he had a photographic memory
He described the eye tooth he described the filling and then the defense attorney went back to mcvay
And got him to smile and when mcvay smiled
He saw that he had the discolored eye tooth and the enamel filling
Did they just bring a bunch of construction workers into the uh into the courtroom and just be like smile
Hey, why don't you smile a little bit?
Can you imagine watching timothy and mcvay forced to smile how awkward that would be?
No, he told the funny joke and he made him laugh
You did this funny because when I do describe you marcus
I think about you. I mean like he looks like a haunted man with monkey arms and a big butt
Well, that's nice. You're not gonna fucking bring in a mouthful of teeth like broken glass the only for smiling
But I don't you don't normally smile not i mean i'm not doing the show. Yes, you can force a good smile
I I can force a very good smile
Now jd2 gave his name as robert jacks although that's proved to be an alias
However, the name jacks is found written in merafe nickles address book in a number of different spellings
She was she was learning the language. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, now the fbi's explanation of jd2
Was that the eyewitnesses at the writer shop all three confused the day on which they saw jd2
The jd2 was actually a guy named todd bunting who would come in the day after my father my grandfather changed a name from
cunting
Todd bunting of the bunting family
But the eyewitnesses maintained that the man in the second sketch is the person who was with timothy
They on that day and todd bunting was a guy. They all actually knew my grandfather felt that the name
Cunting would not allow his dentistry industry to really take off that makes bunting is a much better name
And interestingly jd2 shares quite a few similarities with richard guffrey the ara bank robber
We discussed last episode now. It was richard guffrey possibly
Another u.s. Government plant however trying to force the bombing to happen from the inside
I'm not saying it's always sheaped it. It's never sheaped it. They don't do
No, no, there is there is
I don't think the fbi would really want that to happen in vietnam and the vietnam war there was several members
Basically, they continued the vietnam war for about a year with like a bunch of ca operatives that were fighting with no
Identities fighting in vietnam for a long time. That's kind of fun
I do think when you mention those things which that actually might be accurate
You should have a mcdonald's cup and I will put change in it
So on april 60th the day before the rental lee mcgown the owner of the dreamland motel where mcgay stayed in junction city
Said she heard voices coming from mcgay's room. She also maintained that these men had access to the room
Independent of mcgay who was dropping off the getaway car in downtown oklahoma city when mcgown heard them speaking
mcgown remembered she heard in her words
A velvety male voice that she recognized from an earlier phone call to room 25 where mcgay was staying
It sounded like he would have really good throat and tonsil action
Yes, it's one of those voices and she wasn't the only one on april 15th a chinese food delivery boy named
Jeff davis very good
Very good authentic now son with this name. No one will know that you're in chinese
Jeff davis said he brought food to the room and someone other than mcgay answered the door
That man was short stocky dark complex and loved dumplings. Actually. It was mugugai pan. Oh
That is good. I like that. I like muga. It is. It's a little slimy though. That's fine. Yeah, definitely a deep cut
On the menu. That's how I can tell
I've never seen you be disgusted by food before so that's interesting
So on april 18th the day before the bombing mcgay said he met up with terry nickels at the storage locker
They shared the two loaded up all the bomb making materials
They gathered and they drove it all out to geary lake state park in kansas there
They allegedly mixed the material and wired up the whole operation in just a day supposedly all by themselves
After they were done mcgay said nickels headed home on mcgay slept with the bomb for the night
Did he like cuddle it? He slept in the cab and the bomb was in the back and then he said when he got up the next morning
He ate a whole bunch of spaghetti and then went to oklahoma city
Every everybody who goes to oklahoma city's got a belly full of spaghetti. That's right. Well, he uh, he liked to eat mre's
Meals ready to eat. It's but he's not i am sick of these militiamen. They all live like shit
They think that this is the way to go. They think you have to like live some weird soldier's life
Or it's just like just go in your home go to get a burger get burger cake. Yeah, just make a sandwich make a peanut butter and chili sandwich
Put it in a bag bring it with you spaghetti's kind of good though
Yeah, but the stories witnesses in oklahoma city on april 19th told about what happened that day suggest a very different story
Besides just mcgay and nickels being involved in this
The first sighting of the rider truck on april 19th was at around 8 a.m
At least 24 people saw the truck over the next hour with many of them reporting
It was in a convoy with a yellow mercury marquee a brown truck and a white sedan
Three witnesses in a man with a military cut accompanied by a man with olive skin driving a yellow rider truck
Asked them for directions to the mirror building that morning
Danny wilkerson the guy who ran the convenience store down the street from the mirror building
Sid mcgay came in around 840 a.m. And bought two coax and a pack of marlboro's even though mcgay was not a smoker
Wilkerson remembered this encounter because of the rider truck parked outside
Maybe he did that because of bad boys the film bad boys where he saw them lighten a cigarette walking away from the explosion
They didn't make him look real cool. Or did he buy it for uh, uh, john doe number two. That's what we're saying. Yeah, that's that's that's what we're saying
I also thought it would be because of bad boys
Oh, oh, you know a good diva
She had to get fucked by a horse. Isn't that weird?
No, wilkerson asked mcgay when he saw the rider truck if mcgay was moving in and mcgay said he wasn't
And when mcgay walked out to the truck wilkerson said he saw another guy waiting in the cab
None of the eyewitnesses nor the other 19 people who saw mcgay either with a group or with at least another guy that morning
Were called to trial because the fbi determined that every single one of them was mistaken
Now remember we have been through this before with columbine when the people saw multiple shooters that were not just the two boys
This is the thing that does happen. There is such a thing as like
Imagining and piecing together different witness accounts and it all
Of course, but the problem is is that what you're looking at is over several days
Showing that he is with multiple people whether he's running the truck whether he is uh putting together the bomb
I I feel like that there is a a bunch of
Of loose evidence that can show that he at least had a group supporting him
And at least had like a team around him that were going to try to get him to the getaway car
That they weren't going to he was going to basically set off the explosive himself
Well, that seems very plausible. It's a huge bomb. Yeah way. Uh, he and nickles could just do it alone
Well, I mean it's there is actually evidence. There was a guy who saw the yellow rider truck at geary lake on that day
So we do family. Yeah, I saw the two of them together him and nickles up together. They were basically building the bomb
Yeah, yeah, they were building the bomb there
But we don't know if anybody gave them instructions or if nickles and mcvay were just putting the finishing touches on the bottom
There's a lot of unknowns here. And you know and it could be all these witnesses
Uh, they heard reports of jondo number two and they concocted a story in their head about c and mcvay with a dark skin
Gentlemen that perhaps but the convoy of the brown truck white sedan and yellow marquee
That wasn't reported at the time
And multiple people told the fbi that they saw him together and multiple people saw this convoy
Struggling to get to their destination. Also. It was his yellow marquee, right? That was his that was his car
We know that for a fact. We know the yellow marquee was his if he is driving the rider truck
Who is driving that car? Exactly. Somebody's driving the car and it's a big obvious gross
Like grossly yellow all fucked up a 1978 mercury marquee is a gigantic fucking car. Yeah, it sticks out
So somebody's helping him who's behind the wheel. Yeah, and the people that saw them trying to struggle to their destination
They saw those cars driving in and out of the underground parking garage below the mirror building because this is when he realized
That he did not measure the goddamn parking garage entrance and he couldn't get it through
Yeah, he couldn't get the rider truck was too tall. He tried driving it in there
They had this whole big plan and then they realized that the truck was just too high. They had they had neglected
Uh to do their due diligence on possibly the most important part of the entire operation
One job
Now the backup plan maybe was to park the truck in the alley between the federal courthouse and the old post office building
We know this because an oklahoma state trooper saw the truck pull into the alley and back out again
When they saw it was blocked by a us marshal service truck as andrew gumbel wrote in oklahoma city what the investigation missed
One can only imagine these dipshits frantically trying to decide what the hell to do when their great master plan failed
It is uh, it is just a bunch of dunces trying to pull this off
Yeah, and but of course we all know what they ended up doing
You know, they parked it in the handicapped spot on the building's north side
But witnesses saw both the marquee and the brown truck on either side of the rider truck
They also witnessed a woman with long blonde hair waving the truck into position who very well could have been
an ar a bank robber pete langen in drag
Imagine if he showed up in full in full costume
Like he was like dressed as a woman being a woman and you they never saw that before and also he just shows up on the big day
Pete
What you doing?
I'm finally me
Today
Fuck it go. We ain't got time to deal with this. Fuck it
Now the main witness who was watching from the fourth floor of a nearby building made note of
The 1979 mercury marquee because that guy had a mercury marquee just like it
And so he actually it wasn't one of those things where he remembered later like oh, there was a mercury marquee there
He remembered looking down seeing a yellow mercury marquee thinking about days of your probably like what a piece of shit car
That is I'm glad I don't own a fucking mercury marquee anymore
Uh, but he also noticed like there was a rider truck parked in the handicaps spot because that's pretty big dick move right
Then there was Dana Bradley the woman who had to have her legs sawed off at the knee after being trapped in the rubble
She said when she was walking into the building
She saw a guy with olive skin wearing a jacket get out of the truck and quickly walk away
And yet another person a truck driver named rodney johnson had to I love it
That's a great name for a truck driver
Great name. He had to swerve to miss two people who had walked out into the road from his right
One he identified as McFay the other he identified as a stocky man with olive skin wearing a jacket
He said to the to his left was a brown truck to his right was the rider truck again
None of this stuff was made public these people were not contaminated by media coverage
These sightings were all done independently and none of them aside from Dana Bradley's were made public until just a few years ago
When new documents were finally released a lot of these see this didn't actually come from news reports
These came from fbi files that were finally released in 2010
Now what is the point of not releasing this information to the public earlier? Is it just to make it a simple case?
Yes, the whole point is just close it get timothy mcvay
Right kill them in by the death penalty. So the case is over. So there's closure and also technically you are not
Feeding the the far right. I think there's a part of it too where it's if they made it a big attack on the far right
They thought that they were gonna incite more and more of this which is in the end is wrong
And the end they just they bolstered them and they'll they technically did you think though?
It did take a lot of uh wind out of their sails
Especially when it came out just how many kids that were murdered in the explosion
And it did fuck that but technically just made them go deeper underground and now they're now they're there and now they're electing people
They regrouped. Uh, they have they absolutely regrouped. They went legit. Yeah
So after lighting the fuse the group got into their respective getaway cars and sped away
But there's the question of the marquee if there was such a large group
Why was mcvay alone in a car that had no license plate and was sure to get pulled over?
Well, there are a couple of possible explanations here
One mcvay might not have meant to drive the car for very long if he was working with langen and guthrie
He would have been planned by bank robber rules. See a lot of times when a bank robbery is committed
The perpetrators use a drop car meaning they leave in one car drive it to a second location
Where their real getaway car is parked and they leave the drop car behind the marquee could have been just such a car
Also, he was probably making his money robbing banks for a period of time with the ara
So that's exactly the type of training that he's already gotten or to mcvay meant to be caught
He was the sacrificial lamb the one who would spread their message to the world the spokesman and when you compare mcvay to the
rest of these assholes
He was the obvious choice. He's a perfect pancy. He was a clean cup war hero
He was fairly well spoken and he had no criminal record whatsoever aside from a few traffic
So he'd look like a good american soldier like a
The head of the patriot movement
Yep, and if anyone out of that group of dickheads could sound even halfway reasonable
It would have been mcvay. All the rest of them. What are you gonna put straw smire out front?
No, when he's got teeth
No, he's not camera ready
Timmy the mcvay is camera ready. Terry Nichols has got all the fucking the best
He looks like Terry Nichols looks like the main nerd from revenge of the nerd is possible
No, Terry Nichols has he has those little beey eyes. Uh, he's constantly nervous
Uh, you can't put langen or guthrie out there. They're fucking bank robbers. Dennis mahan is a big fat nightmare
Right, uh fucking the malar guy talks like elmer fudd. Yeah mcvay is the only one they have
He's the gym parson's I guess so. Yeah in this bizarre world of local yokels. He is the dream boss, I suppose
In terms of articulate, he's been coached. Yeah, he knows exactly what to say
He's been listening to these fucking idiots for so long. You don't think malar and ellison weren't piping literally the exact words
What to say as soon as you're caught the things of the literature he had
And then he was obsessed with patrick henry already and then when you found on his dashboard
He had an envelope of documents that were filled with you know, patrick henry various different
Uh far-right writers. They're all like like he had his weird like thesis statement ready to go
And the thesis statement, uh, that's also a part of the drop car theory
Is that a lot of people thought that mcvay was going to drive the car?
Leave it and then leave that little envelope of articles and whatnot for police to find essentially taunting them
But also the thing is about mcvay is that mcvay wanted this you can tell in every interview
He gave that he loved every second of his notoriety when everyone saw him for the first time
During that first perp walk you do not see the face of a person scared shitless like nickles was when he was arrested
You see the face of a stoic soldier who had done his duty
Which shows like the unflappable and scary arm of the csa like the idea of so and so and me like we are here to start the revolution
And with you know, if you ran out of things to say he could always charm people with his star trek knowledge
And with all of the different things
Yeah, he can talk about that incredible. I think it's great throat and tongue action
Now there is definitely marquis related evidence to suggest mcvay acted alone though
There's the note that suggests the car was dropped days earlier
And the license plate that was missing was stashed in the storage locker where mcvay and nickles stored the explosives
But that's the big rub with this case
So much the big rub with simi the agvey and and god. Yeah, that dude. Yeah, Richard rogers. Richard rogers the big rub
See so much of this evidence can be interpreted either way
You can either interpret it as mcvay being an idiot or you can interpret it as mcvay setting himself up to be the lone wolf
Now we would know for sure if there were more people involved in the bombing
And especially if more people were in the truck with mcvay had the security cameras on the northwest and northeast corners of the mirror building
Been working, but as a cost-cutting measure the cameras were hooked to nothing and hadn't been functional for 10 years
How much money did they save how much money did that say 18 grand in the end was all the fixes they didn't make
No, 18 grand was the construction cost. This was probably I don't know 40 bucks. Oh my god
But they uh, you also this is again where the conspiracy arm takes a hold when people say that the government did that on purpose
No, I think the government was trying to save money because they were a bunch of idiots
Yeah, and that's what no that's when you talk to the guy who's in charge of security and said that he had been screaming for years to get the cameras fixed
What nerd
Can he's being annoying you got to learn how to sell it
Well, that's the thing is that you know there were of course rumors of the footage being suppressed because
Uh, there was a report that the secret service had made saying like okay
Like we found the footage from the mirror building, but that was done in error
They thought that they had footage of the mirror building because this is such a huge fast-paced operation
There are hundreds of people working on this case all at once
But the thing is like as gumbo writes, you know in Oklahoma City
The incompetence here is a far greater crime than the cover-up because there was chatter among these right wing groups
For months leading up to it. They knew something was there's also been the dialogue on the internet that showed that
Obviously take certain footage that has been found from around the Murrah building in order to say like look you could see here
Like basically pointing out that there were multiple people in the cab the problem is there's no time signatures
There's no way to know and also I watched two different documentaries terror from within which is fucking incredible
Which we basically build this entire timeline of the white power
Groups helping Timothy McVeigh set up the Oklahoma City bombing
And then there's another one called the secret life of timmy
Timothy McVeigh, which is the complete conspiracy one and they both used the same footage to say different things
One proving that he's a lone warrior and one proving that he's a part of the u.s. Government as a sheep dip
Do they do they get into how he earned the nickname the rub?
Means Tim the rub McVeigh wide palms
Well at any rate the FBI either ignored or half heartedly explained away most of the evidence
We've talked about today. See they didn't want to uncover a conspiracy
They wanted a straightforward no-nonsense conviction and they got two as Nichols turned himself in after just a couple of days
Because Timothy McVeigh had written down in the dreamland motel register as his address
He wrote the address of the Nichols family farm. Very nice. Very nice
I could just just couldn't think of another address different kind of numbers that aren't real
Man, I can't be making up addresses all day. Well the 1988 sedition trial
We mentioned in the last episode also had a lot to do with this
See the FBI had decided that if they ever had another case against white supremacists
They would go for the slam dunk and not involve too many people
They were afraid if they went for all they would get none just as they had before and there was and this was against every
Instinct of every FBI agent to focus on just one guy
There were plenty of FBI agents out there crying to be let loose because they are very thorough
The one thing about the FBI is that they fucking they are very dogged
They're the fear of investigation. That's what they do investigate
But the higher-ups wouldn't go for it even though there were so many guys saying, please
Please let like this guy Bob Rick's like Bob Rick's had spent most of his career chasing white supremacists
But for some reason the higher-ups just wouldn't let him loose
See, it's almost unheard of for the FBI to ignore evidence that could lead him to bigger fish
But that could have led him to another Waco or ruby rich or ruby rich or another failed sedition trial
And it's more egg in their face and then the more more weird bad PR they get
The harder it is for them to do other things within the government because again the government has to make political decisions
And so if you don't have the political movement on your side, there's there's not many things that you can get done
Right and the FBI tried its hardest to convince all the witnesses who said they saw McVeigh with another man
To change their story some did and were put on the witness stand
Others didn't and weren't
Now again, there is no direct evidence that McVeigh was ever an Elohim city at any point
But it has been strongly suggested by a number of people both in the far right and in law enforcement that he was
Because remember he also called cause which is essentially the white power aclu
It is a group of lawyers
Someone called in asking what to do about this bombing whether or not they should bomb this building or not
I feel like that was another clue. There's another like a sidebar of this whole world
Where it's like he was also trying to get their legal team involved. Yeah, it's a small world. This white supremacist world
I mean, they have their own they have their own little weird ecosystem, right?
Yeah, because they learned it from the Turner diaries because it sets it up within the turn diary
Turner diaries of how militia should communicate to each other
But neither the far right nor law enforcement has admitted that McVeigh
Had help in this whole thing for one reason
None of them want blood on their hands specifically the blood of 19 children
After McVeigh was arrested and tried the jury deliberated for three and a half days before convicting McVeigh on all counts
And trying to save McVeigh's life the best anyone could say about him came from Michael 48. He said
Honestly, if you don't consider what happened in Oklahoma, Tim is a good person. Yeah, but we're mostly here for that Oklahoma City bombing thing
Yeah, then he is a naughty naughty. He's naughty boy. The best thing I could say is great throat action
And after that statement, uh, it took the jury about three hours to condemn McVeigh to death
Still seems long to me quite frankly. It does. It's just like do it right there. Can't we just do it here? Yeah
Maybe it was good food they were eating. I don't know
So on June 11th, 2001, Timothy McVeigh was put to death by a legal injection
Michael 48 was sentenced to 12 years for his part in the saga and Terry Nichols received a sentence of life in prison
At the colorado super max facility where he remains to this day
Richard Guthrie hung himself in prison
Pete Langen is doing life after a dramatic shootout with the police
Dennis mayhawn is still given dumb shit interviews. Elohim city still plug it along
It is around and they are fucking getting dumber and andy the german is back in germany
Oh
Having been smuggled out of america through mexico after the fbi started asking questions about him
He said he moved back because oklahoma had become quote stressful
That would make sense. That's why a lot of people leave a lot of germans leave because of the stress
I've always heard that about oklahoma city the stress level. Yeah, oklahoma. Elohim city real stressful place
Oh, yeah, now so far not a single other arrest
Besides Nichols 40a and mcvay has been made regarding the events of april 19th 1995
And it's starting to look like there never will be I gotta say michael 40a
That 12 years is light
That is a light sentence because they do know he's complicit in the mass tragedy. I feel like that's a little bit too
Uh, light of a sentence. Well, they well, he turned states evidence
Oh, michael, michael, michael 40a, michael 40a was the star witness against timothy mcvay
So what do you mean? I'm like the star witness. Yay. He was the lucille ball
Of the witnesses. Wow. So I think we've all learned a lot today. That is uh, fascinating stuff
There's no way uh, the timothy mcvay acted alone and it's all that community
That was a great the onion peeling back the onion peeling back the onion. Hey guys, so they just run you out there
It's like if you feel like really proud about something like dial it back before you murder a bunch of people
Dial it back. Yeah, but this is where where rhetoric, uh, you know, when it actually turns to violence
It's very difficult for the fbi and the cia to know when that's actually going to happen. Yeah, this is it's tricky stuff
Well, I bet they were like licking their wounds from waco and ruby ridge
You wonder if they would have just had a little bit more political incentive to actually stop this stuff
But also ideas can't be illegal
We cannot start shutting down one idea because then of the then how do you do thought crime?
What is going to start? This went far beyond ideas. Of course. They had homemade grenades. They had ammonium nitrate. There was an illegal
I'm not arguing this. I understand
No, no, of course. We're we are of course not
Um, advocating for the legislation against ideas or anything like that
But in this case the atf they didn't go in for one simple reason. It was cowardice. I mean that that's what it is
That was the reason why that they did not go in because they were afraid that waco was going to happen again
They were afraid that they were not good enough and this is big boy shit
And that's what this is. It's a it's supposed to be hard. They're not wrong to some degree
It would have been who knows how it would have gone. It would have been very difficult
It would have blown up. Can you imagine if we yeah, can you imagine?
We we we might just do an episode on elo home city or however the hell you're pronouncing
Elohim city had they gone in there and had a huge firefight
Who what reality would have that would that have created a bunch of people would have died
A bunch of people would have died on both sides. It would have been a big fucking gigantic clusterfuck
And they and it was very difficult to figure out. How do you pull yourself out?
There's really no good decision once you push the button
Now the machine's going like once you're in there now
It's you're going to deal with the reverberations and then what if they decide to still blow up gigantic federal buildings after the raid
I mean after you raid Elohim city after that you get bullsholes like arkansas. I mean that's what their fucking job is
They can't just say they can't just sit back and hope everything's going to work out all right
Because they also tried that six years later in the lead-up to 9-11 like with uh, Osama bin lad when susan rise told bill clinton
I'll go after they pull back and they hope that everything was going to work out okay
And yeah, fucking didn't because it never you know what they should have gotten though if we could have just sent them
