"In this era of Trump, I would urge everybody to not, when there's literally evidence or even anecdotal stuff, there's no such thing as a conspiracy theory when it comes to Trump. And you're just making stuff up out of the blue. So that's why, you know, I look at Cash Patel running the FBI. I look at this high profile case that is just so odd. And yes, we know they screwed up. So I'm naturally going to say, why did they screw up? Is it purely just incompetence? Because this is the era of Trump and it's Cash Patel. I actually think that's pretty reasonable. With the Woody L.A. expression, you know, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I'm wrong. Doesn't mean they're not out to get me. Doesn't mean they're not out to get me. I mean, this, yeah, I mean, this is a, law enforcement does not act in any neutral way at the Department of Justice or even the FBI. And anybody who is, who has worked at the FBI, who insists on the neutral administration of justice, they're gone. Those people are gone. Or they've compromised themselves and beyond hope. So I mean, I really don't know. I think the way I see the Nancy Guthrie case is the following. A competent FBI director would have gone to that county sheriff and had said to him, look, you need to accept my help in finding her kidnappers because the FBI is the best. Or I'm going to go public and say that you will not take my help and I will humiliate you. And in other words, force that county sheriff to take the help. And early, in the early stages of the investigation, this is key, in the early stages when the evidence was right. But instead, Patel was AWOL. Who knows where he maybe was in Europe or drinking beer, but I don't know. He was AWOL. He was not doing what he needed to do. And that left the county sheriff, who is kind of a bumbler, to mess it up. And now I don't think there's going to be any hope in finding Nancy."
