EP#255 | DSD | New Orleans, Cybertruck, PBD Key Take, Biden Talks, & Ron Funches

📄 Episode Overview

In Episode #255 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar breaks down the back-to-back tragedies that struck New Orleans and Las Vegas on New Year’s Day. From the suspicious surveillance footage of the New Orleans truck attack to President Biden’s off-kilter speech and the simultaneous Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump Tower, this episode dissects the inconsistencies and media narratives surrounding both events. Ray also revisits a 2020 clip from PBD and closes with a hilarious bit from comedian Ron Funches.

🧠 Key Takeaways

• Surveillance footage of Sham Sadine Jabor’s truck pre-attack appears to track his vehicle with eerie precision—sparking questions about how and why the camera was focused on him.
• The attack killed 14 and injured dozens more, yet the footage’s origin and behavior remain unexplained.
• CNN claims Jabor posted five videos just minutes before the attack—yet no one has seen them, and they’ve been scrubbed.
• Patrick Bet-David points out the suspicious nature of the camera’s focus and the ease with which it followed the truck pre-impact.
• President Biden’s speech announcing the attacks included odd pacing and phrasing, but did raise eyebrows with the use of “contemporaneously.”
• A Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Tower Las Vegas on the same day. The driver, Matthew Livelsberger, was a highly decorated Green Beret.
• Media claims he had relationship issues and possibly radicalized to Islam—raising doubts due to his “all-American” image.
• Matt Kim warns that labeling U.S. citizens as terrorists paves the way for mass surveillance and a Patriot Act 2.0.
• Ray reflects on how these twin events may be used to fuel new war efforts, justify future policy, or set up a new “Islamic threat” narrative.
• A 2020 stand-up clip from Ron Funches drives the point home: we lie to people we love. Governments do it too.
