Matt Jones 0:01
This is Interrupted by Matt Jones on NewsRadio 840 WHAS. Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome to Interrupted by Matt Jones. It is episode 30 here on a Thursday in the cold part of February. We have just gotten back recently this week from the Super Bowl. And it was an awesome experience that was one of the cooler things I've done in media. But a lot has happened in the world. You know, you spend so much time on sports that it's easy to sometimes forget. News continues constantly. And Billy is with me here. And I, a lot of times, get questions from ye, the listeners, about what is going on and kind of our thoughts. And so I decided to compile some of the best questions I get on the text machine. And if you ever have questions you want to hear us discuss here on Interrupted, it is 772-774-5254.
Matt Jones 1:06
And I get questions from people. And I thought I would compile some of the ones that we get a lot and talk about them. And Billy is here with the questions. And Billy, also, you know, you are a news hound yourself, right?
Billy 1:22
That's right. This is the news, but I always enjoy delivering the news like an anchorman.
Matt Jones 1:27
Yeah, you're kind of – Tony DeCoppo started at CBS. You're kind of the Tony DeCoppo of the KSR world. Tony DeCoppo said that too much times the news comes from elites. So it's nice to have you because you're not elite.
Billy 1:43
Not close.
Matt Jones 1:44
You're not elite, but you can still deliver the news like Mr. DeCoppo.
Billy 1:48
An elite delivering of the news, you could say.
Matt Jones 1:50
Could be. So why don't we get started? We've got... How many questions do we have? I got four big questions. Four big questions. Okay.
Billy 1:59
And let's go. All right. So originally, you said your opinion on the Jeffrey Epstein stuff was that it wasn't that big of a deal.
Matt Jones 2:07
No. Wait a minute. Don't just... I don't know who wrote that. I never said it wasn't that big of a deal. It's a huge deal. So let me just say. What I said was that I didn't think... that it would necessarily, there would be this deep conspiracy. That was my take for a long time. People thought there were things that were kind of being hidden. And I was like, eh, I don't know about that.

What questions do listeners commonly ask Matt?

Matt Jones 2:30
I always, to the writer, I always thought it was a big deal.
Billy 2:33
To the writer's point, their question goes on to say, has your opinion changed at all on this? And how do you think it all ends?
Matt Jones 2:41
Yes, it has changed. You know, the... It started to change when I realized how hard the administration was trying to fight releasing it. Because they ran on the premise of they were going to release the Epstein files, right? So when the bill passed to release it, and they just wouldn't, I was like, well, there's got to be something. But since they've come out, and I don't think they're all out, right? No. I think, I don't know. Have they said what percentage of it is out?
Billy 3:19
I'm not sure I'm on a percentage.
Matt Jones 3:20
Yeah. But even what has come out, it is much bigger than I thought. So my takeaway is like many folds. First of all, It confirms one thing I did think was true, which is the elites of the world, they all know each other. I can't believe the communication was all by email.
Billy 3:49
It is brazen, some of the stuff they're saying on email.
Matt Jones 3:52
On email? Was there ever a time in your life you emailed people like this? I mean, text message is one thing, but who sends emails like this? John Gurdon. That is true, John Groot. But it's clear that all of these people knew each other. They hung out with each other. Now, we don't know how many of them did illegal things. Clearly, though, some of them did. And all of them were kind of in this social relationship where they had, you know, business – at best, business relationships with each other. Probably more likely, you know, sexual relationships where he or others were setting people up with women. And then in the worst case, setting people up with underage women. Right? So – It has shocked me how many different types of people are involved.
Matt Jones 4:51
You know what I mean? It's not just this handful of politicians. It's bankers. It's professors. It's TV personalities. It's people in sports. It's agents. It just goes on and on.
