Chapter 1: What insights does Matt share about his Super Bowl experience?
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. 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?
That's right. This is the news, but I always enjoy delivering the news like an anchorman.
Yeah, you're kind of ā 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.
Not close.
You're not elite, but you can still deliver the news like Mr. DeCoppo.
An elite delivering of the news, you could say.
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.

Chapter 2: What questions do listeners commonly ask Matt?
I always, to the writer, I always thought it was a big deal.
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?
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?
I'm not sure I'm on a percentage.
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.
It is brazen, some of the stuff they're saying on email.
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 ā 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 ā

Chapter 3: How has Matt's opinion on Jeffrey Epstein evolved?
There have got to be other people like that. Even if they're not involved in the sexual part, they're involved in the banking. You know what I mean? The real people that rule the world. The real people that have a huge impact on the world. That's the part where... even where it should be eye-opening, and it has been eye-opening for me.
I just get frustrated that they don't redact some victims' names and it ruins people's lives, but they redact all the important people that we've been trying to figure out.
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, should be fired. Kash Patel, fired. They lied. They didn't mislead. They lied. What was it? Kash Patel said Trump's name is in there less than 100 times. Turns out it was 3,000 times. That's a big difference. That's a big difference. Pam Bondi said, we're not going to investigate this anymore. How?
You know, they had that Senate hearing and they're asking her about it and she's talking about the Dow. She's an embarrassment. If I were Trump, let's just say he didn't do anything illegal. I don't know if that's true or not. But he clearly has an administration full of people that were connected to this. I don't know why you don't fire all of those people. Howard Lutnick, gone. Right?
The Secretary of Labor, I think, is involved. Gone. RFK is in it. A lot of people don't talk about that. And then Patel and Bondi completely screwed this whole thing up. They should be gone. Like, why would you cover for these people? The guy that runs the L.A. Olympic Committee is all over it. Why do you want him running the Olympics?
Well, because they may know something that could damage Trump. Maybe. Or maybe he just is like covering for all of his. And then, you know, Jamie Comer is an embarrassment. They're bringing Bill and Hillary Clinton in for a deposition. Okay, if you want to do that, I'm not against that. But why aren't you doing it with these other people?
Do it with everybody.
Do it with everybody. I'm fine with Bill and Hillary Clinton. I don't know why Hillary's being brought in. Is she in there? I think. She is? Okay, then bring them both in. But bring all these other people in. How can you justify bringing them in and not bringing the other people in? And he goes, well, because they get asked all the time. You're Congress.
They can't lie to you, or at least they're not supposed to. Right. Jamie Comer's an embarrassment, and he used to be my friend. Embarrassment. All these people are embarrassing. Why are you covering up for this? Anyone. Why? Trump fires enough people. But he hasn't fired anybody this term. Have you noticed, Mr. You're fired?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Epstein files being released?
But when you redact a name, almost in my opinion, Bill, it makes me think, oh ā There must be something they're trying to hide. Exactly. Leads to speculation. I'd much prefer you to put the names out there and then have the person come and go, listen, I was ordering a hamburger. They get all those redaction right, but not the victims. The victims not being redacted is shameful.
How about the Department of Justice and FBI not meeting with the victim? How do you not do that? There are reasonable people who can say correctly, well, why didn't the Biden Justice Department do more. Fair question. They should ask the people that they should ask Merrick Garland, who is the attorney general.
And I don't know who was the head of the FBI, who was the head of the FBI during the Biden years. Whoever it was, they should ask him to write him or her. But like, yeah, it is baffling to me. How this is gone. And it is it is very eye opening. And, you know, every time these emails come out, there's so many of them. They still come out every day. Right.
Yeah. There's still media still trying to comb through trying to comb through all of them. So do we just wait till Trump's term ends and like some of the real stuff starts to drop or like.
I think we've reached a point where no one's going to trust any of it. Like one of the things that makes me sad about institutions crumbling and belief in them is you get to a point where nobody believes anything. And that's a tough point to be in a society when you don't even share like basic facts. Right. You know, like there are people who still believe the 2020 election that Trump won.
The Russian hoax? Well, the Russian hoax is a little different. That's a little different. But the 2020 election, there are still people who legitimately believe Trump won. And there are still politicians who know he lost, but just lie because they don't want to upset them. And that is a shame because objectively he lost by like he lost. But they will not believe it.
And that gets to when people don't trust anything, that becomes very difficult.
Well, you should be able to support Trump, but also disagree with him. I feel like supporters can't.
They can't. They Trump's hardest core supporters will not say. And even worse than the supporters, the politicians mainly. Yeah. They will not say he does anything wrong because they're so scared of him. which is why I can't believe I've become a big fan of Thomas. The libertarian. You got to give that dude credit. He's one of the gutsiest politicians I've seen.
