2025 Killer Car Attacks: What They Signal About Our Future
In this episode, we delve into the analysis of two recent terrorist attacks in the United States, exploring the potential connections and shared motivations behind them. We discuss the attackers' backgrounds, the implications of using the Turo app to rent cars, and the alarming possibility of radicalization within the military. Additionally, we examine societal issues related to veterans' support, the unintended consequences of incentive systems, and the role of media and political rhetoric in shaping public perception and potential violence. With references to various high-profile responses, including those from Elon Musk and Donald Trump, this thought-provoking discussion encourages viewers to critically assess the moral and ethical landscapes we navigate.
Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello, Simone! I am going to, in this episode, be going over the two recent terrorist attacks within the United States. I will be arguing, I think very compellingly, that they are a linked terrorist plot. Both ISIS? Potentially, yeah.
So, it might have been one was ISIS and the other was like an anti Trump, anti Elon guy and they just got on together and decided to link them. So, just for evidence, they were both soldiers at Fort Bragg no! The attacks happened within three hours of each other. What?! Both of these attacks used the Turo app to rent the cars.
What?! Okay. That's like a coincidence to you.
Simone Collins: It's a little,
they're there. The red yarn connecting these two attacks on our board of conspiracies is very
Malcolm Collins: thick. It's a very, no, I think it's implausible. Like the using the same app. Turo is [00:01:00] not like a mainstream app. Who uses
Simone Collins: that? It doesn't show up on you and I run a travel management business. We know the major car rental apps.
I've never heard of this. I've never heard
Malcolm Collins: of it either. So I, I and that they're both at the same base and keep in mind, this base was States away from where the attacks happened.
Yeah.
Right. You know, so, were they both active?
Simone Collins: It would be extra bad. If people in active military are being radicalized by foreign forces, really, really bad look. And we've already received word from people who listen to the podcast, for example, no, who've read our books talking about problems within the U. S. military, which is sobering.
And this is from commissioned officers. If we're adding this to the existing list of problems, which did not include this as an issue that people were hearing from or reporting, that is very scary. I'm very [00:02:00] concerned.
Malcolm Collins: The new Orleans Muslim one who connected himself to ISIS was not active. The Tesla one was active. He was a, , army special forces operation master Sergeant, a senior enlisted rank in the green Berets. And he was on approved leave from his assignment in Germany at the time of the incident.
Simone Collins: No. Okay. Thank goodness. All right. I'm taking that off My list of active concerns though, of course if ex military people are being radicalized It's a testament to the extent to which we don't support military and and I don't just mean that in terms of the department Of veterans affairs.
I also mean that in the context of larger society Promoting and helping people who are ex military. Remember when I worked for that one company, we won't mention, and I would, I was helping them recruit sales team and some of our best candidates were ex military and they just got passed over consistently for grads of prestigious universities instead.
Even though these ex military people were [00:03:00] 10 times more competent. What makes you feel
Malcolm Collins: any better? Ex military guys have a huge advanta
