WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Ross and I were just chatting about the Kamala Harris

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty minutes interview. Not sure if any of you caught

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>any of that. I gotta tell you, I didn't watch

4
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>it live yesterday after I got done putting prep together.

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. I think it was because my theory, rosswell,

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I was so tired is I realized we don't have

7
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 1>a one day work week this week. So so actually

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I went to bed pretty early and my thought was,

9
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I was going to get up in the morning. I

10
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>was going to watch the Kamala Harris sixty minutes interview.

11
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, just see how it went. Check that

12
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>bad boy out? Did they softballer? They walk her through

13
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of you know, obvious questions. Did they just

14
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>tear up for stuff like, well a range of one

15
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 1>to satan? What do you think Trump is? And here's

16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the thing. The questions weren't difficult, they weren't surprising. There

17
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>were no gotcha questions. There were very obvious questions they

18
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>were going to ask. And I'll play some of the audio,

19
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>but I so, I literally I went to sleep. I'm like,

20
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm gonna get up early. I set my

21
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>alarm for like an hour earlier, because I knew I

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 1>was just conking out there, man.

23
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>And.

24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about two in the morning, one point

25
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty in the morning, I woke up and I had

26
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I had let the sleep time, right, I didn't put

27
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>on on my TV. I was watching something, and so

28
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that thing still go Actually my iPad, my iPad is

29
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 1>when I watch at night, and it just kind of

30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 1>conked out. Woke up and I'm like, oh, man, I

31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>forgot to turn that on. And I did that thing

32
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>where you reach over to do it. And what I

33
00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>had forgotten is normally I had, like I have like

34
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a thing of water, right because I'll wake up and

35
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll be thirsty, and I had a thing of water,

36
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>but I had it literally in a glass glass. And

37
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>so like oh dark thirty in the morning, I reach

38
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>over to turn it on and I just perfectly I

39
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>hit my hand, knocked it off my side table, and

40
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it just shattered all over the floor. So I'm like, well, yes,

41
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm up, right, because at that point you're up, You're

42
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>just like all right, we're gonna do this thing. And

43
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 1>so I'm sitting there at like oh dark thirty in

44
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the morning, I'm like, well, let me go ahead and

45
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>watch this. And I got to tell you, I thought

46
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>it would put me back to sleep, and then my

47
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 1>alarm would go off, and then I'd go ahead and

48
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 1>do it because I had to. I was hooked, man,

49
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I was absolutely hooked. From the moment she explained in

50
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 1>detail and specifically her policy and her thoughts surrounding Israel.

51
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>I knew this was an interview I needed to watch,

52
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and so at that point I started sending poor Ross

53
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>emails because I hadn't sent him the audio on this.

54
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I knew he would pull it in the morning,

55
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't send him the audio. And it's like

56
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>every time I watched a clip, I'm like, yeah, that's

57
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>going on the show tomorrow, and then boom, I'd send

58
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>that email over. So somehow I fell back asleep for

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>like ninety minutes or something. So just probably not good,

60
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 1>but whatever, we'll go ahead and do that. So if

61
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>you didn't watch the sixty minutes Kamula interview, I, well,

62
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna play the audio and we'll look at those individually.

63
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out what's going on here, because

64
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you, that was even though all you

65
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to try that hard. That seemed like a

66
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty good piece of journalism there. I'll give credit where

67
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>credit is due, and it only required very basic question.

68
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>And what it did is it highlighted that, in my opinion,

69
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it highlighted the theory and the rumor that the reason

70
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>they're going to try to biden her right basically keep

71
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 1>her in a basement, keep her away from the press,

72
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>is they realize internally that it's going to be an

73
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>unmitigated disaster if somebody actually puts questions to her. And

74
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, this is also an indictment of the

75
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>handful of journalists that have interviewed this woman. You understand

76
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that this is an indictment of because when you see

77
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>how easy it was to expose her absolute lack of

78
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 1>a plan, understanding, comprehension, living in reality, whatever you want

79
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>to call it. You got to look at MSNBC with

80
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>their little softball interview. I know Tim Walls was there

81
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>or no, I'm sorry MSNBS. He was the one Tim

82
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 1>Walls was there for. But CNN. MSNBC had what the

83
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Tim Walls won, and then CNN had just the regular

84
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Kamala one. What else was she on? I guess she's

85
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on the view, but a handful of others.

86
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 1>She was on some podcast people are upset, So she

87
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>was on that Call Me Daddy podcast, which is it's

88
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a raunchy podcast. But ultimately I also understand

89
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>why people go on there because it's a very popular podcast.

90
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if you've noticed when they do,

91
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>like where they go walk around ask people around Santa

92
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Monica Beach or the pier there. You know, questions like

93
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>who's the president, right, and they have no idea right.

94
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to reach those people. They may not vote,

95
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>they may not know how to vote because they're dumb.

96
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 1>But I kind of get that. But it but like

97
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't challenged ever, and it became so abundantly clear

98
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>watching the sixty minutes interview. I don't even know where

99
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to let me start with the Israel thing, I guess

100
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>because I mentioned that obviously yesterday was the anniversary of

101
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the slaughter, not just at the music festival but across

102
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>many parts of Israel, and of course that also was

103
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that meant it was a celebratory time on college campuses,

104
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>because that's what you do when people are literally slaughtered

105
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>so that you know that's that's that's an issue. So

106
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>of course she was asked about that yesterday, and thankfully

107
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>she put it all in context. And this was the

108
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>first one I saw on This is when I knew

109
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>there'd be several cuts on the show.

110
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister.

111
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 4>But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening well.

112
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Bill.

113
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 5>The work that we have done has resulted in a

114
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 5>number of movements in that re in by Israel that

115
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 5>were very much prompted by or a result of many things,

116
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 5>including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

117
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, what wait, wait, hold on to the question,

118
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and you don't get all the questions, but the question

119
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>was essentially, you guys have been pushing for a cease fire,

120
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>You've you've laid some boundaries as it pertains to financial

121
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>support for Israel, but yet it doesn't sound like netya,

122
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>who's listening. That's the question essentially, what what do you

123
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 1>do about that? And you got whatever the hell that was?

124
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not

125
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 4>listening well.

126
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 5>Bill, The work that we have done has resulted in

127
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 5>a number of.

128
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 6>Movements in that region.

129
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 5>By Israel that were very much prompted by or a

130
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 5>result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs

131
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 5>to happen in the region.

132
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 1>What does that even mean? All right? And so I'm like,

133
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 1>you got to understand. I am like I've been awake

134
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 1>for a minute, but I'm like that awake when you

135
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know you just somebody just broke into your house because

136
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>that glass shattered. I don't know why. That's the most

137
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>effective alarm clock you'll ever find, but I got wood floors.

138
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>What are your drinking glasses now? Just because your ear

139
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and bare feet, you don't know if it's smashed went

140
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>under the bed and it's now waiting for you on

141
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 1>the other side. Like I was up and I thought

142
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 1>I must have been coming out of like a coma

143
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 1>listening to that thing.

144
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 7>It's not just like what she's saying, It's it's how

145
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 7>she looks when she's saying it.

146
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, she looks conveyed on radio, the panic in her eyes.

147
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 1>So like I have I have Why don't I call

148
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>it a theory? I have a possibility, but I don't know.

149
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>And the possibility is, well, there's two possible. One sixty

150
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>minutes decided to do the bare minimum, because again, this

151
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 1>is not master class fool you know, fooling her. He's

152
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 1>not other than you know, with a with a concerned

153
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 1>look the uh the guy from sixty minutes, he's not

154
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>running traps on her. Sometimes journalists run traps. He's not.

155
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>He's asking basic questions.

156
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 7>But I mean, compared to what she's had, Yeah, for this,

157
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 7>it seems very adversarial, right, it comparatively does.

158
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>But you would agree that in the grand scheme of things,

159
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>if you take you it's not an adversarial interview.

160
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 7>No, But I mean when you go from the Call

161
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 7>Me Daddy podcast or whatever it is to this, it's

162
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 7>going to seem like it's more like, oh my god,

163
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 7>he's attacking her. But it's also it's cut up like

164
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.840
<v Speaker 7>her previous interviews. It is, there's a lot of jump

165
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 7>cuts in it, like a TikTok video. Uh huh, So

166
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 7>what did they have to edit out of? This is

167
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 7>what we got.

168
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I who the hell know? Maybe she wet her so

169
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't who knows, I don't know. Oh my gosh,

170
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, well fifteen minutes for wardrobe. I look, I

171
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't know.

172
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 7>You ever think that maybe the the smashing of the

173
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 7>cup on your floor is symbolic of the hairs campaign.

174
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, and that's so, this is where I'm going here,

175
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 1>this is where I'm going. And I was kind of

176
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>slow rolling into it, but let me just get into it.

177
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if in the same way that they that

178
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the media sat there and looked at that in that

179
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>debate performance by Biden and went Okay, not only is

180
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the jig up, but now we look bad, right, because

181
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.039
<v Speaker 1>we've been sitting here essentially going no, that's not what

182
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about. He's great. He just I just

183
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>took a mensa test and he's the smartest man in

184
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 1>the world. What are you talking about? I I And

185
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>they were just they were absolutely exposed for their trash behavior.

186
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they are sitting here looking at the

187
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>same polls that we're looking at for whatever reason, and

188
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>plus you know, whatever internal stuff that they have available

189
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>because the network's do internal too, and going all right,

190
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>time to pretend to be journalists again because you know,

191
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 1>we're the we're the only ones surviving the backside of this.

192
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't do this to instill confidence and Trump voters

193
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>in any way, shape or form. I'm purely analyzing it,

194
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and frankly, if you're a Trump supporter, I wouldn't get

195
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>comfortable that being said, I'm trying to figure out an

196
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>explanation for why all of the other members sixty minutes

197
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>isn't some bastion of actual journalism. I could pull you

198
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 1>cut after cut that we've played on the show where

199
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 1>they're doing the same exact garbage, just ignoring stuff, coming

200
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.759
<v Speaker 1>out with state eight mints of fact that are clearly

201
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>not statements. You remember whatever they're doing.

202
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 7>Remember the interview they did with Trump right where he

203
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 7>had to release the unedited version of it.

204
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, you're not, They're not. These are not journalists

205
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you're dealing with in the purest sense.

206
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 7>There's been a number of successive events that have happened recently.

207
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 7>Just in a matter of weeks. You had the VP

208
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 7>debate where Walls were advanced was amazing and Walls looked

209
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.799
<v Speaker 7>like an idiot. And then you had Walls on Fox News.

210
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 7>You had their response to to the hurricane. So I mean,

211
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 7>all these events are compounding, right, They're making her look

212
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 7>like there are people stepping back going what is who

213
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 7>is this person?

214
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

215
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to the extent that they did. I don't think

216
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>that what they did to her was horrible on SNL.

217
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it was they were once again doing what

218
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they used to do, and that's try to find the

219
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>funny and in what's going on and the concept of

220
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris watching the debate while he says I made

221
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>friends with school shooters while she crushes her glass of wine.

222
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 1>That's funny, man.

223
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 7>I know they destroyed her in this skit Wall saying

224
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 7>he thought he was at Epcot, right, that's funny still

225
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 7>in my material, Sure, yeah, that's what I said, Yeah,

226
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.159
<v Speaker 7>you were right getting the phones.

227
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 1>But it's when I said yesterday right, use of the

228
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Ross defense. So that's that's funny. But now I'm sitting there,

229
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the sixty minutes going is it just funny?

230
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 8>Is it?

231
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Or is it more than that?

232
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and

233
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 4>basically handing you a nomination. He didn't have to go

234
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 4>through a primary process, you didn't have to fight off

235
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 4>other contenders. That's not really the way our system was

236
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 4>intended to work.

237
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>That is not a gotcha question, that's a that's a

238
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you guys did a unique thing? Explain to me why

239
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 1>it's okay. He could have ordered it just the way

240
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>I said, Hey, you guys did a really unique thing.

241
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Explain to me why this is okay? Does that sound adversarial,

242
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't sound adversarial, or how do you convince voters

243
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 1>everything's good that doesn't sound And that's what he asked, straightforward.

244
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's an anticipation, an anticipatory question too. You should anticiity.

245
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I understand that you haven't had to deal with it,

246
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.399
<v Speaker 1>but you should anticipate at some point you're gonna get

247
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 1>this question. All right, I'm sorry. Continue.

248
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 5>President Biden made a decision that I think history is

249
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 5>going to show is rare among leaders.

250
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Right, he made it. But then all of you made

251
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a decision too, right, everyone behind the scenes, Barack Obama probably,

252
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and then you, of.

253
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 6>Course, which was to put country before self.

254
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 5>And I am proud to have earned the support of

255
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 5>the vast majority of delegates and to have been elected

256
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic nominee. I am proud to have received the

257
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.440
<v Speaker 5>endorsement of leaders around this country from every background and

258
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 5>walk of life to fight in this election over the

259
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 5>next month for our democracy.

260
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 4>But I think this truncated process is why people think

261
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 4>or saying they don't really know who you are.

262
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 5>Look, I've been in this race for seventy days.

263
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, well that's true. Yeah, so you convinced what

264
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 1>two thousand I can't remember how many delegates there are

265
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. Maybe that's just super whatever. You convinced a

266
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>few thousand people who have a vested interest in adding

267
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 1>some sanity to a process that's been upended. And then

268
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you went out and were able to convince the very

269
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 1>same people who run the organizations and political local political

270
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>parties to support you after it was already said you're

271
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the nominee. Good for you. That's like me going down

272
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to sales and trying to get support of the salespeople

273
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>for the show. You understand that, right, Like me walking

274
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>down to sales and being like, who wants to sell

275
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 1>for this show? Who thinks that this is a good

276
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>show to sell for? All right, we'll be back. Hang

277
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 1>on Kamala Harrison insanity, Oh man, yeah, yeah, yeah, so

278
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris on sixty minute. Let me do this by

279
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, before I go ahead and get back into

280
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the audio, because this is this is how you want

281
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to wake up. Listening to this disaster makes you have

282
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of guests on the show today. I know

283
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't generally, excuse me, do two guests, but we're

284
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into it now. Seven oh five, Senator Ted

285
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Buddle joined us. Obviously, you know we're gonna talk to

286
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>him about, right. I did see him on Fox News yesterday.

287
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I retweeted yesterday a video clip of that

288
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 1>interview he did. I will he's using the term dragging

289
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 1>their feet, which is Washington speak, which is actually, you know,

290
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 1>a significant charge among the fake politeness that is Washington.

291
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But what I want to talk to Ted about, and

292
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into it, is I was told yesterday for

293
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 1>about the umpteenth time that having questions about things, or

294
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 1>noticing oddities, or listening to the actual people out there

295
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>who are giving first hand accounts of incidents they've had,

296
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 1>like having any interest in that is, according to FEMA,

297
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>is making it so people don't want to avail themselves

298
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of FEMA. That is an actual That is an actual

299
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.559
<v Speaker 1>charge that they levied yesterday. If you have if you

300
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:58.160
<v Speaker 1>are questioning what's going on up there, you are sowing disinformation,

301
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>which I don't understand how that works, right, because like

302
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>some of these are videos of the incidents, right like

303
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the police officer in Ashville telling the owner of now

304
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a former mechanic shop that they can't even go onto

305
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 1>their own property, which is, by the way, is it's

306
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 1>perfectly calm around. There's there's literally dozens of people in

307
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.559
<v Speaker 1>the general vicinity. There's not water on the property, there's

308
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 1>none of that. Can't go on there and retrieve their

309
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 1>tools and what's left of their shot because it's gone.

310
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.640
<v Speaker 1>And I know that any of you out there who

311
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>work at you know, as a mechanic or in a

312
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>shop setting, you recognize the value of those tools. I honestly,

313
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the truck that you could hijack that would

314
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>give you the most receipts is a snap on truck.

315
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>That stuff ain't cheap man, all right, don't by the way,

316
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm no one, because I actually no one of the

317
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 1>snap don't. Don't. Don't hijack him. But my point is

318
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 1>it makes perfect sense. And there is unadulterated all you know,

319
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 1>real time, one hundred percent video on this. It's not

320
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>in dispute, but to air that, to question that, to

321
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 1>wonder why blackhawks are doing rotor washes on food supplies. Ross,

322
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 1>did you see that video of that helicopter coming in

323
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and wiping out all that food because it got you know,

324
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a helicopter gets really low over stuff. There's a lot

325
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of wind going on there, and like

326
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>this black Hawk, it hovers down over like stacks of

327
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 1>non perishable food and toiletries and all that and just

328
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>destroys it.

329
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's pretty awful, and you wonder where the conspiracy

330
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 7>theories come from.

331
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, and it did it twice? There were two or

332
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't say it did it twice. There were two incidents. Now,

333
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>could it absolutely be an inexperienced pilot who didn't know

334
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.559
<v Speaker 1>what the hell was? Sure? But like that's not pilots

335
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that I know. The pilots that I know, and I

336
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 1>know quite a few private pilots or you know people

337
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>people who have worked either from a military standpoint, who

338
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.160
<v Speaker 1>were pilots. I know fighter jet pilots. I know guys

339
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that flew helos, I know guys that still fly helos.

340
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of guys who are smaller like moonies.

341
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Cirrus is the Cerrus SR twenty was. If if I'm

342
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ever blessed enough to be able to have my own

343
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 1>little plane and I just need something from popping around regionally.

344
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I would love a serrus man like. But what I

345
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 1>know about all those guys is when they're in the cockpit, man,

346
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 1>they're there their business, right, So like that whole thing

347
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 1>is just weird. But if I'm being told that questioning

348
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>them by by FEMA yesterday, that questioning this and and

349
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 1>and putting these things out is causing people to not

350
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>try to register for their programs, I don't believe you now,

351
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong. We have the story yesterday where

352
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>some of the folks in back Cave were like, you

353
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 1>know what, we don't even want FEMA here to get

354
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>out of here. That's their personal decision. And it's not

355
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 1>based on my radio show. That that woman who owns

356
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the what's the what is the diner there? I'm trying

357
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 1>to remember the name of it. Is it Riverside? It

358
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>might be Riverside Diner. Maybe that's down in Chimney that

359
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 1>has that has to be gone. Write anything with the

360
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.599
<v Speaker 1>name Riverside in it probably is not doing well right now.

361
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Right One of the women, one of the women in

362
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 1>that story I think was the woman from that place.

363
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>She's not listening to this show. She should, y'all should,

364
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.759
<v Speaker 1>but she's not. She's she's she's basing this on her

365
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.519
<v Speaker 1>own experience. So when I go ahead and I talk

366
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 1>about on my show the story that ran in the

367
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 1>New York Post where she gave quotes over this stuff,

368
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is that hampering other people from availing themselves of your

369
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 1>program or people not availing themselves of the program because

370
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>they can't find you? What do you think is more likely?

371
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So I don't want to hear any of this garbage.

372
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.680
<v Speaker 1>So you know, maybe we need more of this, and

373
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk to the Senator about this, because at least

374
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>he seems at least he's one of our two senators

375
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that seems intellectually curious about this stuff. There's no hope

376
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:39.640
<v Speaker 1>for the other guy, Senator slender Man. Good god, what

377
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.880
<v Speaker 1>an absolute wart on the behind of society during this time.

378
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 1>That being said, we'll talk to him. Seven o five

379
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 1>eight oh five. What is this when it comes to

380
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>blackhaw If it was Guard, yeah, I can't even figure

381
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 1>out that was Guard or you know, it could be

382
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 1>could be a Although a lot of the big entities

383
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 1>came out, like the Cajun Navy and others who do

384
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 1>have helicopters, like it's not ours, I don't know it.

385
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.599
<v Speaker 1>Could it be a guardsman, it could absolutely, but like

386
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make any sense. Like when you're when when

387
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 1>you're a when you're a helicopter pilot, or you're a

388
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 1>pilot in general. One of the things that you know,

389
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 1>I know this, and I'm not a pilot. One of

390
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the things that you know is hand signals. Right there there,

391
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 1>you understand hand signals, And it's clear in that video

392
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that you have former members of the military who are

393
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 1>giving hand signals just as they would to a helo

394
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 1>that is in a military situation that is trying to

395
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>land or is you know, doing a number of things

396
00:23:54.079 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 1>like it's all clearly happening. So excuse me. The whole

397
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>thing is just strange dude now, and people going, what's

398
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the conspiracy. I don't know what the conspiracy is. I'm

399
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>simply pointing out this thing happened. Like if you wanted

400
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to sabotage the whole operation, just dipping down with a

401
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:17.519
<v Speaker 1>helicopter and rotor washing a pile of foods, not going

402
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to accomplish that in one single location. So uh, I

403
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>hear the theories out there, why can't I ask questions, so, uh,

404
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we gotta that's what the senator has on

405
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 1>his plate here in about twenty minutes and then, Uh,

406
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually been, you know,

407
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.440
<v Speaker 1>bouncing around doing stuff. We were we were going to

408
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>try to we were trying to chat with Corey Mills,

409
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the Florida congressman, has been out there. But yeah, he's

410
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of a busy dude. I get that though. Uh,

411
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 1>if you guys are on Twitter, Uh, one of the

412
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 1>folks on Twitter who was up there? I saw her

413
00:24:55.319 --> 00:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>tweeting about it a whole bunch and visiting various community

414
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>of these she's she's from there. He is a Twitter

415
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>user by the name of Cassie Clark Ross. Were you

416
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 1>familiar with her, Stuckey, I am.

417
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 7>I mean she we've been following each other for a while.

418
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 7>It made me laugh because she followed me after one

419
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 7>of my olive garden jokes. Well, she replied, She replied,

420
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 7>Oh my god, we should be best friends.

421
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, to be fair, to be fair. When

422
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I first saw her on Twitter, it was mostly her

423
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like establishing blood feuds with Florida barbecue joints and stuff.

424
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 7>I mean, which which is well deserved?

425
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Wait wait, wait, hold on, you never had good barbecue?

426
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 7>And listen, I'm just so loyal, you know, I'm loyal

427
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 7>to my friends. Yeah, we could be loyal, like I can.

428
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can like North Carolina barbecue but also

429
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate a beef brisket out of Texas. There are two

430
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>different things. But whatever, all right, So, like, but I

431
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 1>saw her. You know she's not political, well she tries

432
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 1>not to be. There's a lot of people that bring

433
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>her into the political frame. Well, there's nothing you can

434
00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>do about that, right, especially if you're having because I

435
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>know she does like space and stuff. There's nothing you

436
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 1>can do when you're essentially letting people have the mic. Right,

437
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 1>that's like us doing a radio show and then you

438
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:09.599
<v Speaker 1>just putting calls on without screening them. Who the hell

439
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>knows what you're gonna get, right, So I just I

440
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted her. I wanted her perspective as somebody who's a

441
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>native from there or a native of North Carolina. I

442
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 1>think she might have grown she grew up in Wilmington

443
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and moved the mountains or the other way around. It

444
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, right, And but you know it has those

445
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.759
<v Speaker 1>personal connections. Because it's one thing to show up and

446
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't really know folks there, but you're there to

447
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:38.759
<v Speaker 1>volunteer and see what's going on and recount your things.

448
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's another thing when a local will pull you aside

449
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and go and let me tell you another thing, Like

450
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 1>that's a big deal for gathering information. It's why if

451
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 1>you're in the business that I'm in, establishing relationships is

452
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:54.039
<v Speaker 1>a good thing. The amount of crap that you get

453
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 1>fed and told and whatnot obviously aids what you're doing.

454
00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna we're gonna chat with Cassie. What is

455
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 1>her twittering? Dogwood? Was it Dogwood Blooms at Dogwood Blooms

456
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:06.640
<v Speaker 1>if you want to see her Twitter account anyway, we'll

457
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>chat with her at eight oh five, So we got

458
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that going on. We'll find out what her favorite olive

459
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.079
<v Speaker 1>garden dishes, because that that's all will no she's lying

460
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>or not.

461
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.480
<v Speaker 7>So I was actually I was absolutely like surprised, Like

462
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 7>when her first profile picture a long time ago, I

463
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 7>thought it was a picture of one of the Ulsen twins,

464
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.839
<v Speaker 7>like Mary Keeter Ashley, and I was like, she's using

465
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 7>like an Ulsen twin And then I'm like, no, that's that.

466
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 7>Oh my god. I'm like, she looks like she.

467
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Looks like an adult Ulsen twin. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

468
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:40.079
<v Speaker 1>So she probably doesn't have the baggage. That's another thing.

469
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, all right, so we'll chat with her, coming

470
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:45.720
<v Speaker 1>up at eight oh five. All right, So back to Kamala.

471
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Back to I just chatted this whole time, but whatever,

472
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Back to Kamala, because this sixty minutes thing, the only

473
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:54.960
<v Speaker 1>assumption I have is that they're looking at the numbers, going,

474
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.680
<v Speaker 1>this woman is gonna lose, and we got to do

475
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>something so that we can we can still pretend to

476
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>be journalists on the backside. I give no credit to

477
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 1>sixty minutes wanting to do the right thing. I'm only

478
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out why they chose to do the

479
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 1>right thing, what forced their hand, And that's my theory.

480
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you think it could get worse than the

481
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Israel stuff or the the the Hey, how are you

482
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the nominee stuff? You should hear the border stuff. Man,

483
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy.

484
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 4>I've been covering the border for for years and so

485
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 4>I know this is not a problem that started with

486
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 4>your administration, but there was an history.

487
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I got a pod did you hear how she thought

488
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>he was throwing her a lifeline?

489
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:44.559
<v Speaker 9>Yep.

490
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you hear the anticipation in her voice, because again,

491
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 1>this is not the beginning of the interview. This this mid interview,

492
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and she's already realizing this isn't going well, and there's

493
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>there's like hopefulness in her voice.

494
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 4>I've been covering the border for for years, and so

495
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:01.839
<v Speaker 4>I know this is not a problem that started with

496
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 4>your administration, But there was an historic flood of undocumented

497
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:13.640
<v Speaker 4>immigrants coming across the border the first three years of

498
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 4>your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from

499
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 4>the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake

500
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 4>to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did.

501
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:32.920
<v Speaker 5>It's a long standing problem and solutions are at hand,

502
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 5>and from day one, literally we have been offering solutions.

503
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 4>What I was asking was, was it a mistake to

504
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place.

505
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 5>Think the policies that we have been proposing are about

506
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 5>fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.

507
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but the numbers did quadruple.

508
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>And the numbers today because of what we have done,

509
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 5>we have but the flow of illegal immigration by half.

510
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.480
<v Speaker 6>We have to the sentinel by half.

511
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.480
<v Speaker 5>But we need Congress to be able to act to

512
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 5>actually fix the problem.

513
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Right, But you don't because the things you undid you

514
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't use Congress to do.

515
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.720
<v Speaker 7>So she's getting angry.

516
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's getting answer. The audacity that she's going to

517
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>get pressed on these questions is not sitting well with her.

518
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 7>She goes from I could solve this to throwing Congress

519
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.279
<v Speaker 7>under the bus.

520
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, And look, here's the thing. At the end of

521
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the day, she's not wrong in the sense that if

522
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to fully button up the border and do stuff,

523
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it is going to require not just executive orders, but

524
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 1>rather an act of Congress, probably in conjunction with it.

525
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 1>She's not wrong there, however, to say it's a problem

526
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you can control somewhat the scale of the problem, and

527
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 1>it's apparent that you've chosen the other end of the scale,

528
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>which is just, hey, let's let's go ahead and do this.

529
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And by do this, I mean we'll set up an

530
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 1>app so you can start the process for you ever

531
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:18.119
<v Speaker 1>get here, we will fly thousands, fly in thousands of people.

532
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Thousands of people will fly them in. Remember that number

533
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 1>that came out just before we went on vacation ross

534
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.799
<v Speaker 1>where they were like, here's the number of murderers and

535
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 1>rapists that were literally let into the knowingly let into

536
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the country. That just that got memory holds so quick.

537
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>In fact, if you don't know what that is, because

538
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 1>it did get memory holds so quick. And then we

539
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 1>had I don't know, we had this whole hurricane thing

540
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 1>which kind of distracted us here in North Carolina. Allow

541
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 1>me to retrieve that and talk about it, and more

542
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 1>audio coming up in just a moment. Hang on hearing

543
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:55.119
<v Speaker 1>about ten minutes with Senator Ted Budd. But let's let's

544
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>keep on the Kamala audio, shall we. And then we

545
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 1>got so much of it we'll have to get some

546
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.039
<v Speaker 1>of it after Ted as well. But it did not

547
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>go well, and like it didn't stand a chance. How

548
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 1>about the things, just the flip flop stuff. That's a

549
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty standard question, right, it flip flopped on this. They

550
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 1>love asking most politicians, usually not as many Democrats, but

551
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.799
<v Speaker 1>they love asking politicians, why'd you say this one thing

552
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.599
<v Speaker 1>and then this other? And famously some have pulled it off,

553
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 1>like Barack Obama with gay marriage. Oh well, I thought

554
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.079
<v Speaker 1>about it, and now I'm this right, and then they

555
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>gave him a pass. And you have to understand too.

556
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>While this is going on, Kamala Harris is being interviewed,

557
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Walls is on Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Kimmel is hitting

558
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 1>hard hitting questions like we really like you. I just

559
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>want you to know we like you because you seem

560
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 1>like a guy who empties the lint trap after every load.

561
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.519
<v Speaker 1>So that's what he's getting. She's getting this.

562
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.799
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you what your critics and the column say.

563
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, they say, the reason so many voters don't know

564
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 4>you is that you have changed your position on so

565
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 4>many things.

566
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 3>You were against fracking, now you're for it.

567
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.039
<v Speaker 4>You supported looser immigration policies, now you're tightening them up.

568
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.160
<v Speaker 3>You're for medicare for all.

569
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Now you're not so many that people don't truly know what.

570
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 3>You believe or what you stand for. And I know

571
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:25.319
<v Speaker 3>you've heard that.

572
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 5>In the last four years, I have been Vice president

573
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.319
<v Speaker 5>of the United States, and I have been traveling our country,

574
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.640
<v Speaker 5>and I have been listening to folks and seeking what

575
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:38.079
<v Speaker 5>is possible in terms of common ground.

576
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 6>I believe in building consensus.

577
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 1>A couple guests joining us this morning so let's get

578
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 1>right into that. We're going to kick things off with

579
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Senator Ted Budd joining us. How are you doing this morning, Senator.

580
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.920
<v Speaker 8>Hey, good morning, Cathie. Thanks for having me on.

581
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 1>You're busy, dude, man, I saw you on the TVs yesterday.

582
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>You were doing senator stuff. I mean, you know, the

583
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.079
<v Speaker 1>work doesn't even though back in your I guess a

584
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 1>district's the wrong word, but back in your state, obviously

585
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>things continue to be insane, however you wish to interpret that.

586
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:15.800
<v Speaker 1>And so let's talk about what a day in your

587
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>life looks like because right now, as you're probably aware,

588
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of people, and I know that I'm

589
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to say things like this under penalty of

590
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:28.760
<v Speaker 1>FEMA or Hillary Clinton, but there's a lot of people

591
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:32.239
<v Speaker 1>wondering if the federal government's doing everything that they should

592
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 1>and can do. So talk about what you're doing on

593
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.679
<v Speaker 1>the regular right now.

594
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know, all all hands on deck right now,

595
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:44.480
<v Speaker 8>Western North Carolina. So we get up early, we charge hard,

596
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 8>we see what we need, and I kind of look

597
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:50.119
<v Speaker 8>at the role over the last probably what twelve days,

598
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.480
<v Speaker 8>since we've been kind of looking at how the storm

599
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.280
<v Speaker 8>is going to evolve. One Hey, if there's a leadership void,

600
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 8>we'll step in and help. We want to bring resources

601
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 8>to the area. We want to cut through red tape

602
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.800
<v Speaker 8>and get folks to work together. But I want to,

603
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.679
<v Speaker 8>you know, have a framework of gratitude for what has

604
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 8>come to the state, whether that's a volunteer as an individual,

605
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:12.280
<v Speaker 8>somebody walking through a Samaritans First American Red Cross or

606
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 8>Baptist on mission. We've just seen a lot of people

607
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:18.519
<v Speaker 8>really step up. So I want to say thankful, you know,

608
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 8>thank you to them. There are government resources on the

609
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 8>ground now, whether that's the Age Sake and Airborner and

610
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 8>one hundred and first, and then you know FEMA. We

611
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 8>reached out to another state that had dealt with FEMA

612
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:34.039
<v Speaker 8>and they said, look, you know, eventually they're going to

613
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 8>be helpful, but they're going to disappoint you. It's just

614
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 8>a bureaucratic morass. But also want to say thank you

615
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.199
<v Speaker 8>to I think their heart's in the right place. I

616
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 8>think they're organizationally rather inefficient, but I do want to

617
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:48.039
<v Speaker 8>say thank you to them. I think they do the

618
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 8>best they can. They need they need real leadership at

619
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:54.159
<v Speaker 8>the top, and you know from the administration that's what's missing.

620
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want to echo this. I'm sorry to around.

621
00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to echo this because I don't want to

622
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 1>pee pee individual workers for FEMA is. This is not

623
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a judgment on them like any other thing. I think

624
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>there are people that wish the lawyer did things differently,

625
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>But there is clearly a leadership issue.

626
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.599
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and that really starts at the top, whether it's

627
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:18.719
<v Speaker 8>screwing up the exit from Afghanistan two years ago, whether

628
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 8>it's you know, or whether it's this in a crisis,

629
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.039
<v Speaker 8>This type of leadership at the top is not equipped

630
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.440
<v Speaker 8>to deal with the facts on the ground. And you know,

631
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:36.559
<v Speaker 8>it's very frustrating to me. But again, we have what

632
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 8>we have.

633
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.679
<v Speaker 9>We have an election.

634
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 8>This is a choice for America to sad, what do

635
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:45.199
<v Speaker 8>they want going forward? You know, do you want a

636
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:48.639
<v Speaker 8>mean sheet, a mean tweet and a good life or

637
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.519
<v Speaker 8>do you know, do you want you want total chaos,

638
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 8>whether it's on the ground in the mountains of North Carolina,

639
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 8>or in Afghanistan or in the Middle East, in Ukraine.

640
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:02.400
<v Speaker 8>That it's just so crazy that people have bought into

641
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 8>in the last three and a half years under Joe Biden.

642
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.760
<v Speaker 8>Kamalai airis so very frustrating, but eventually it's you know,

643
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:09.760
<v Speaker 8>it's up to us as Americans, what do we want

644
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 8>going forward?

645
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 1>I think that some people wonder, if they're elected officials

646
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and you're in this bucket, are doing enough? I saw

647
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to you. I'm sure you saw Tom Cotton that interview

648
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.159
<v Speaker 1>the other day where she made the mistake of bringing

649
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 1>up the funding for Lebanon and all of these things

650
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and pointing out that or the FEMA funding as it

651
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>pertained to migrant resettlement and saying, well, these aren't the

652
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>same thing. This is the gamesmanship that you got. Well,

653
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll throw you and hear you guys play up in

654
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.119
<v Speaker 1>DC right where you go. Well, actually that meme on

655
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the well, actually it's two separate funds. But the point

656
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 1>remains that when when they needed money for stuff, they

657
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to go through you guys. They found money

658
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>for stuff. I don't know where they found it, if

659
00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it's in the couch cushions at the White House, but

660
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.639
<v Speaker 1>they found all this money for Lebanon. They came to

661
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you for these short term funding things in some instances,

662
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:10.559
<v Speaker 1>So explain the process because it's a really bad rebuttal

663
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 1>when we watch them scramble for their priorities. But those

664
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.159
<v Speaker 1>priorities don't seem to be DC. That's what I think,

665
00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>or North Carolina, or really the US for that matter, citizens.

666
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.159
<v Speaker 1>And that's the part I think is really sticking in

667
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 1>people's cross. Senator.

668
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I totally agree I Bristol with the you guys

669
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.320
<v Speaker 8>kind of thing. I think we're out there doing everything

670
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:34.760
<v Speaker 8>we can.

671
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Well I couched it. I couched it, so but so

672
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.760
<v Speaker 1>explain to me why you're not those guys and what

673
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:42.079
<v Speaker 1>they need to be doing. So that's what I want.

674
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:45.239
<v Speaker 8>To look this is you think about the guy, you know,

675
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.159
<v Speaker 8>trying to ford gas to get in his truck to

676
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 8>go to work, and you know, either if it's a

677
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.639
<v Speaker 8>deduction from his paycheck or he writes a quarterly check

678
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.039
<v Speaker 8>for a small business, he's not like sending one little

679
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 8>check to the Lebanon and supporting headspel and then another

680
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 8>little check over here, you know, to help with the

681
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 8>folks who was here in North Carolina. It's all coming

682
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 8>out of his or her paycheck. And I think that's

683
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.960
<v Speaker 8>why they're so frustrated when you got a billion dollars

684
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 8>that go. They want the government deploy, even if it's

685
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.920
<v Speaker 8>somebody in Greensboro or Raleigh that wasn't directly affected by

686
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 8>the storms to the west. They get mad when it's

687
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 8>time for the government to step up. And they got

688
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.400
<v Speaker 8>a billion dollars out of FEMA that needs to go

689
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.239
<v Speaker 8>to North Carolina and the surrounding states to see in

690
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:35.199
<v Speaker 8>Georgia and Florida. But that billion dollars went to resettle

691
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 8>people who are here legally, you know, a billion dollars

692
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 8>at one point four billion dollars allocated, a billion dollars

693
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.920
<v Speaker 8>already spent. That's resettled people that shouldn't be here when

694
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 8>we need help for the people that are paying their

695
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:50.800
<v Speaker 8>taxes day in and day out. And that's that's what's

696
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:51.719
<v Speaker 8>sticking people's crawl.

697
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, so how what do we do about it?

698
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>And now you use the term I watched your interview yesterday,

699
00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:59.400
<v Speaker 1>use the term flat footed, and I got to be honest,

700
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that might be the most aggressive criticism that I've heard.

701
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 1>And Lee, especially from our two senators, don't even get

702
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.039
<v Speaker 1>me started against people with flat feet started.

703
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, nothing against people with flat feet, of course, right,

704
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.800
<v Speaker 8>we see the uh, what we see a lack of speed,

705
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:19.480
<v Speaker 8>and that again back to the people on the ground.

706
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.159
<v Speaker 8>Whether that's the people on the ground with the clipboard

707
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.880
<v Speaker 8>at the picnic table, with being out of the grocery

708
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:28.400
<v Speaker 8>store that are helping folks, or whether it is the

709
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 8>eighty second every one hundred first and by the way,

710
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 8>I stopped and assault. They're a base and variant. And

711
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 8>I talked to in listed folks yesterday. I talked to

712
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:40.559
<v Speaker 8>junior officers, uh, and they said, hey, we were ready

713
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:41.119
<v Speaker 8>day one.

714
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:42.920
<v Speaker 1>And I am, first of.

715
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 8>All, I'm so grateful for them being on the ground.

716
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 8>It's just the bureaucratic handwringing at the top, which is

717
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 8>in the lack of decision making that is that has

718
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.360
<v Speaker 8>slowed things down. So it ain't FEMA. And they try

719
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.400
<v Speaker 8>to say, oh, you're criticized and femas. No I'm not,

720
00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:58.840
<v Speaker 8>because that's eighty percent, ninety percent of that is like

721
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.559
<v Speaker 8>folks out there that they chose a career path so

722
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 8>that they could help other people, but they're trapped in

723
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.679
<v Speaker 8>this leadership structure of bureaucracy and is very frustrating. So

724
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.519
<v Speaker 8>I see a lack of speed, a lack of coordination,

725
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:16.440
<v Speaker 8>failure to communicate with the pilots, for instance, and then

726
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 8>all these rumors start and the rumors really start for

727
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:21.360
<v Speaker 8>a couple of reasons. One, you've had three and a

728
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:24.639
<v Speaker 8>half years of breaking down trust between your leaders and

729
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:29.119
<v Speaker 8>regular folks going to pay their taxes day in, day out,

730
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:31.480
<v Speaker 8>and so now all of a sudden, when the government

731
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.519
<v Speaker 8>asked you to trust them, they're going like, hey, you know,

732
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.159
<v Speaker 8>they're very, very skeptical. So it's hugely frustrating. So lack

733
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.039
<v Speaker 8>of speed, lack of coordination, and misplaced priorities. And that's

734
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:47.079
<v Speaker 8>the for instance, the billion dollars of FEMA that's resettled

735
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.000
<v Speaker 8>illegal aliens rather than putting folks on the ground visibly.

736
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.320
<v Speaker 8>I use the word visibly because I've got a list

737
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.119
<v Speaker 8>right here of all twenty five counties in the emergency

738
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 8>declaration and a name and a contact number. But when

739
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:06.599
<v Speaker 8>you go, people don't know where these folks are. You know,

740
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.519
<v Speaker 8>they can get an eight hund number that says go

741
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:10.960
<v Speaker 8>to this grocery store and you can get you know,

742
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:14.719
<v Speaker 8>your resettlement money. They're getting denied. They're choked down on

743
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.599
<v Speaker 8>all these processes. So black of speed, lack of coordination,

744
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:21.280
<v Speaker 8>misplaced priority, that's the that's what's really happened. And this

745
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.239
<v Speaker 8>organization or in the Biden administration of Kamala Harris administration

746
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:26.280
<v Speaker 8>last three and a half years.

747
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm going to offer a third one here and

748
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.559
<v Speaker 1>then I I want to ask you a question. The

749
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.400
<v Speaker 1>third one is the reason you're hearing rumors is because

750
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.639
<v Speaker 1>they're true, right, And I'm not talking about seizing cities

751
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.559
<v Speaker 1>for lithium minds or you know, some of the weather

752
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:46.280
<v Speaker 1>control machines, which gets then lumped in when I'm posting

753
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a video of a auto shop owner in Ashville that

754
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.880
<v Speaker 1>is videoed from start to finish, who wants to go

755
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:56.360
<v Speaker 1>find in the waste of their building. They're expensive tools,

756
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so people don't steal them, being shut out by the

757
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ability to do that. Yet there's dozens of people walking

758
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 1>around the area and and so like, that's not a

759
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:09.440
<v Speaker 1>rumor anymore. So here's my question for you, what is

760
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.400
<v Speaker 1>wrong with people sharing this stuff? Because the response that

761
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I've gotten is that if you do it, FEMA yesterday

762
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:20.599
<v Speaker 1>said that by sharing this stuff and they're non specific

763
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.920
<v Speaker 1>on what all that encompasses, but basically unsubstantiated stuff that

764
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you are in people are not applying to FEMA. And

765
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's and it's because of that I think it

766
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.440
<v Speaker 1>more is your first point that people maybe don't trust FEMA,

767
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:38.440
<v Speaker 1>but some of that's of their own doing. So when

768
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:43.039
<v Speaker 1>you when people are sharing videos, it is verified first

769
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:46.039
<v Speaker 1>hand accounts, which not all of them are. Admittedly, people

770
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>panic and they hear things and rumors go. But how

771
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.440
<v Speaker 1>else are you supposed to bring about change if you

772
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:56.199
<v Speaker 1>don't highlight the deficiencies and basically get told that if

773
00:43:56.239 --> 00:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>you share that on social media, you're hurting people. That's

774
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the absurdity that I think people are trying to process.

775
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.079
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna agree with you totally there, because people need

776
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:09.639
<v Speaker 8>to show the discrepancies and the problems and highlight them

777
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.039
<v Speaker 8>so that in its hey, so that people can get better,

778
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.880
<v Speaker 8>other organizations can get better. It's a it's a way

779
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.440
<v Speaker 8>for regular folks that may not have a you know,

780
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:23.400
<v Speaker 8>like a political platform, like I've got to say, hey,

781
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.719
<v Speaker 8>you guys need to step up. We're paying you out

782
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.719
<v Speaker 8>of our paycheck each and every week. Uh, you know,

783
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.480
<v Speaker 8>to do your work and you need to. So I

784
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 8>think it's a great platform. I'm simply referring to the

785
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:36.480
<v Speaker 8>ones you know that are that are the crazy rumors

786
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:39.199
<v Speaker 8>that are a distraction, but the real stuff, lack of

787
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:41.519
<v Speaker 8>accountability and problem that needs to be exposed.

788
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well and and and so you know, maybe somebody

789
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:49.480
<v Speaker 1>with a platform like me, I have a platform, you

790
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 1>have a platform I'm familiar with, So like, why don't

791
00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you be our guy. Let's let's you be you be

792
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:58.119
<v Speaker 1>our rand Paul Man. Let's go ahead and do this thing.

793
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.239
<v Speaker 8>Well we That's what I'm doing from morning tonight is

794
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:04.519
<v Speaker 8>building phone calls, sitting there in the office, sitting on

795
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.119
<v Speaker 8>this is burning up. And then I'm going in there,

796
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:09.760
<v Speaker 8>like let's say that there's the FAA steps in and

797
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.760
<v Speaker 8>tries to shut down an airport from these and volunteer

798
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:16.159
<v Speaker 8>helicopter and small aircraft pilots I'm calling them. I'm going like,

799
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:18.880
<v Speaker 8>you guys can't do this. But we all want to

800
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:20.960
<v Speaker 8>stay safe, we want to stay within the law. But

801
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.239
<v Speaker 8>you're over exerting your authority. Whether it's FAA, whether it's SEEMA,

802
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.039
<v Speaker 8>you know, whether it's getting a military branch to step

803
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:32.159
<v Speaker 8>up and work together. That's the thing when I start out,

804
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:35.280
<v Speaker 8>you know, stepping into the leadership boyd, bringing resources to

805
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:37.400
<v Speaker 8>the area to help people and cutting through red tape

806
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.880
<v Speaker 8>and getting folks to work together. So it's that last

807
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.760
<v Speaker 8>one right there, is they don't over exert your authority.

808
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 8>There is nothing casey like North Carolinians helping North Carolinians

809
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:50.440
<v Speaker 8>neighbors or first on the scene. Then it was the

810
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:55.159
<v Speaker 8>volunteers and with a lot of bureaucratic delay. Now the

811
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.880
<v Speaker 8>government that people paid for is starting to help out

812
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:02.679
<v Speaker 8>too slow, too uncoordinated, to bureaucratic. Sure it's getting better,

813
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:06.000
<v Speaker 8>but with a lot of pressure from folks, whether it's

814
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:10.440
<v Speaker 8>on social media or whether it's you know, Chuck Edward's

815
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:13.559
<v Speaker 8>out West Virginia Fox who lived through this by the way,

816
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:17.519
<v Speaker 8>or me in the foothills here putting pressure on government

817
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:17.760
<v Speaker 8>to do.

818
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:18.400
<v Speaker 3>What they ought to do.

819
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:20.760
<v Speaker 1>What's the most absurd thing you've had to make a

820
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:25.079
<v Speaker 1>phone call in flex your senatorhood with you there's I.

821
00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 8>Mean, I would say, you know, somebody's trying to step

822
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.239
<v Speaker 8>in and shut down airspaces and saying, hey, you guys

823
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:35.960
<v Speaker 8>can't bring a pickup truck full of supplies onto the airfield,

824
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.119
<v Speaker 8>and you know I would just say, yeah you can,

825
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:41.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah you can. So I'd say that's probably the most

826
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:42.719
<v Speaker 8>ridiculous thing.

827
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>You know out west, But well that's that could be

828
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:50.440
<v Speaker 1>deadly And I'm not trying to be dramatic here, and

829
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to say this too, and I know you

830
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:55.000
<v Speaker 1>have some of it. I was raised in the mountains, man,

831
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the mountains of Wyoming, but mountains of North Carolina are

832
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the closest thing I've ever lived near since then that

833
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.199
<v Speaker 1>mirrors it. But the people are the same. And so

834
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.480
<v Speaker 1>when they're sitting there and they're wondering why some folks

835
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.639
<v Speaker 1>may not be reaching out, it maybe because they can't

836
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:11.280
<v Speaker 1>find them. But as you, you went to school at

837
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:15.280
<v Speaker 1>app right at school, Yeah you went to Okay, So yeah,

838
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:17.960
<v Speaker 1>like you, you spent years living up in the mountains too.

839
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Mountain people are different, man, They're just they're built different.

840
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:27.159
<v Speaker 1>And the self sufficiency that they have, even in the

841
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:31.000
<v Speaker 1>face like this, I think can be influential more so

842
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.159
<v Speaker 1>than what we may be seeing in Tampa. And I

843
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:36.159
<v Speaker 1>like people in Tampa. But city people and mountain people

844
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:37.920
<v Speaker 1>are different. Country people are different.

845
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You know this.

846
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You're a country person.

847
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:44.800
<v Speaker 8>You know. I live in rural data counties, less rural

848
00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:47.840
<v Speaker 8>than when I was born and where a family moved

849
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.320
<v Speaker 8>here fifty years ago. But the mountain folks that are tough,

850
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.960
<v Speaker 8>they lived there, I mean they moved to Charlotte or Raleigh,

851
00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 8>or you know, tryad area or anywhere that's urban, and

852
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.400
<v Speaker 8>you know, some do, but some stay and they don't

853
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:03.519
<v Speaker 8>want to leave their homes. They're independent. They're there for

854
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:06.840
<v Speaker 8>a reason and they've got a certain psyche that says,

855
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 8>we want just enough help so we can help ourselves

856
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:10.320
<v Speaker 8>and help our neighbors.

857
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's it.

858
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.400
<v Speaker 8>And when it comes down to help, we need to

859
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.840
<v Speaker 8>be ready for them. You know, if that's a chainsaw

860
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 8>or a little bit of bar oil or two stroke

861
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:21.480
<v Speaker 8>oil just so they can run their chainsaws, We're going

862
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.760
<v Speaker 8>to do that. That's what the biggest help has been.

863
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:27.239
<v Speaker 8>If these helicopter pilots flying in, we're bringing you starlink

864
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:29.719
<v Speaker 8>and we're bringing you five gallons of gas that can

865
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 8>run your generator for another day or two. You know,

866
00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:35.519
<v Speaker 8>that's some of the biggest help that we've seen to

867
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.320
<v Speaker 8>get folks in these volunteer fire departments and small churches

868
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:41.079
<v Speaker 8>online and they have been just phenomenal.

869
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I got ninety seconds tampaks like it's about to

870
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:48.239
<v Speaker 1>get destroyed. I'm not exaggerating. This looks this looks like

871
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:52.079
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenario. We're already not having the money there.

872
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Tell them explain to me in a minute, what you

873
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.639
<v Speaker 1>guys are doing so that when we have two massive

874
00:48:56.679 --> 00:49:00.280
<v Speaker 1>disaster areas, we're able to still continue to help folks.

875
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:04.039
<v Speaker 8>Kathy, we should never ask government to do things that

876
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 8>it's not constitutionally designed to do, because when there is

877
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.440
<v Speaker 8>a need, whether that is a real war or whether

878
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:11.719
<v Speaker 8>that is a you know, trying to war against the

879
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 8>natural elements like a hurricane or two hurricanes or three,

880
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:17.320
<v Speaker 8>that's when we need it to be ready. And if

881
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:20.239
<v Speaker 8>you ask, if you have all these misplaced priorities, then

882
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:22.840
<v Speaker 8>when it comes time to help, Like we said earlier,

883
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:26.280
<v Speaker 8>flat government's called flat footed because it's been doing the

884
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 8>wrong things for too long and too expensive. So get

885
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:33.079
<v Speaker 8>let's get refocused on what government should be doing so

886
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:35.119
<v Speaker 8>when it's time, it's there to help people.

887
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I don't know why, but the Florida governor

888
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.840
<v Speaker 1>seems to have his you know what together versus our own.

889

893
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:51.719
<v Speaker 3>In the state.

<v Speaker 1>Absolutely all right, there you go. Senator Ted Budd joining

895
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:59.119
<v Speaker 1>us here on the Cacoday radio program. Hang on, if

896
00:49:59.159 --> 00:50:01.519
<v Speaker 1>you're driving, maybe want to pull over. I don't want

897
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to cause and I don't want you

898
00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:05.559
<v Speaker 1>to like fall and hit your head when you when

899
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you pass out from this information or veer off the

900
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:13.880
<v Speaker 1>road into a center divider. Ross, You're you're you're seated.

901
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Just want to make sure you can't lose our executive

902
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>producer here, all right, So Ross's Ross is ready as well.

903
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Apparently you remember when we went, we decided we were

904
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:29.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna get Britney Griner, the w n B A player back,

905
00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.599
<v Speaker 1>so we like we we did a trade, which she

906
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:34.400
<v Speaker 1>owned sports. That's the thing that happens, right, do trades,

907
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and uh we traded the merchant of death for her.

908
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.360
<v Speaker 1>You guys remember you remember that? All right, that's not

909
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:48.039
<v Speaker 1>the shocking, but that should be the shocking part, right,

910
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:54.239
<v Speaker 1>trading the merchant of death a Russian arms dealer. Bad

911
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:58.760
<v Speaker 1>dude Victor bout Is is his name for a w

912
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:01.199
<v Speaker 1>n B A player with a pen. Even though I

913
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:04.480
<v Speaker 1>under look, I understand what Russia's Russia was doing there,

914
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a good reason not to go to Russia.

915
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember, remember the guy on the tarmac, the

916
00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:12.119
<v Speaker 1>other dude they got out of Russia? What was it,

917
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street journal guy, right, and they were they

918
00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.239
<v Speaker 1>literally stuck a microphone in his face and he gets

919
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:18.920
<v Speaker 1>off and like, well what did you learn? He's like,

920
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm never going to Russia again. Yeah, that's probably a

921
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:25.719
<v Speaker 1>good thought. So anyway, here's the part where I wanted

922
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:30.639
<v Speaker 1>to I wanted to get you ready. It appears that

923
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Russian armsteeler Victor Bout, also known as the Merchant of Death,

924
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:40.840
<v Speaker 1>might be selling weapons to the hoodie rebels so that

925
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:44.840
<v Speaker 1>they can shoot him at the US Navy and by night,

926
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean he is unapologetically, in fact allegedly broker at

927
00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:52.440
<v Speaker 1>a ten million dollar deal to supply the Umeni based

928
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:56.000
<v Speaker 1>terror group with automatic weapons AK forty seven's as well

929
00:51:56.679 --> 00:52:02.320
<v Speaker 1>as shoulder shoulder fired rockets, which again they're using there

930
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:07.679
<v Speaker 1>on the Southern Arabian Peninsula to fire repeatedly at US.

931
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Not just US, but a lot of military vessels. So

932
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:17.679
<v Speaker 1>we let the guy out and he's arming this rebel group,

933
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:20.840
<v Speaker 1>which is one part of the apparatus that is the

934
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Iranian proxy war on the US and Israel. Who could

935
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.679
<v Speaker 1>have seen this coming that the Merchant of Death Victor

936
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Bout would deal weapons to terrorists who are trying to

937
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 1>murder Americans in Israeli and basically anyone who doesn't closely

938
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.639
<v Speaker 1>align with their version of Islam, which is really how

939
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:46.199
<v Speaker 1>they got their start. It was more about internal warring,

940
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:50.239
<v Speaker 1>which was then utilized by Iran to essentially set them

941
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.440
<v Speaker 1>up on a shooting range that is the entrance to

942
00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sea there and just fire weapons and nondiscriminately

943
00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:02.719
<v Speaker 1>at any military vessel they see from the US. Now,

944
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:07.199
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, I do have to balance this as

945
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:09.199
<v Speaker 1>we try to be fair. Ross will you look something

946
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:10.440
<v Speaker 1>up for me? Do you have a moment?

947
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:10.800
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

948
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Sure, Can you look up the amount of arms that

949
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Britney Griner has sold to the Hootie rebels so that

950
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:20.559
<v Speaker 1>they could attempt to kill US military members? Since since

951
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 1>her release, I don't need this stuff. Release No, yeah,

952
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.559
<v Speaker 1>post post release from Russia. Whatever happened before then happened.

953
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:35.039
<v Speaker 7>It looks like uh none, oh norms oh okay, So

954
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:38.679
<v Speaker 7>probably hesbelah right, She's probably selling because he's you know,

955
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:41.719
<v Speaker 7>he They've got a contract with the Merchant of Death

956
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:45.360
<v Speaker 7>and with the Houthis So probably Hes belahs were grinders

957
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:46.280
<v Speaker 7>peddling her wares.

958
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Do we uh have anything?

959
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:51.079
<v Speaker 2>What is with that? You know what?

960
00:53:51.199 --> 00:53:53.079
<v Speaker 1>This reminds you of? This reminds me of when we

961
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>cut those five dudes LUs at Guantanmo for uh for

962
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:01.480
<v Speaker 1>oh god, what if I can't remember his bergdal right,

963
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:05.239
<v Speaker 1>and then like we ca or we killed two of

964
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:08.079
<v Speaker 1>them on the battlefield almost immediately because they're like, oh,

965
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm back here, I'm gonna get back to terrorizing. Like

966
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like, who could have who could have seen? So

967
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:18.119
<v Speaker 1>this dude, there is a likelihood that this guy's weapons

968
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.599
<v Speaker 1>that he sold to them and I would buy him

969
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:25.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else was literally a rebuttal I saw in this yesterday. Yeah,

970
00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:28.760
<v Speaker 1>but they wouldn't buy because it's one last dude to

971
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:31.760
<v Speaker 1>buy from. There is a distinct possibility that one of

972
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:37.039
<v Speaker 1>these weapons could harm or even kill a military service

973
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.440
<v Speaker 1>member if the only reason it might not is because

974
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.960
<v Speaker 1>they're so bad at it, and you think sitting down

975
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:45.559
<v Speaker 1>there and doing this for a long time, you'd get

976
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:51.320
<v Speaker 1>reasonably better at it. But that doesn't seem to be

977
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the case. So yeah, yeah, you got you got him

978
00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:01.000
<v Speaker 1>out of jail, and now the very same weapons may

979
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:06.679
<v Speaker 1>murder us right, and it's wild to me. Who could

980
00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>have seen it?

981
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

982
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:10.760
<v Speaker 7>I mean, like what were they expecting to happen? Because

983
00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.400
<v Speaker 7>you're going to B and B Like he's gonna go

984
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:15.480
<v Speaker 7>to like the inner city and like teach you put

985
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:17.440
<v Speaker 7>a due rag on and he's gonna like teaching her city.

986
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:19.400
<v Speaker 7>Like he's in dangerous minds or something.

987
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 1>He's already nine versions of that movie.

988
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:23.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, I don't understand it because like ninety nine

989
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:25.840
<v Speaker 7>percent of people hearing this information are like, oh really, nope,

990
00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:28.679
<v Speaker 7>what wrong with Wait? Where do you go?

991
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

992
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:30.920
<v Speaker 7>No, oh I moved it? This is what I give

993
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:33.360
<v Speaker 7>her moving stuff on the button bar, Like everybody knows

994
00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:35.800
<v Speaker 7>this is gonna happen. Ninety nine percent of people are like, yeah,

995
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:37.920
<v Speaker 7>of course he's gonna go back and sell weapons. What's

996
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.039
<v Speaker 7>his nickname? The merchant or the Angel of death?

997
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:41.360
<v Speaker 1>What are you the Merchant of death?

998
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

999
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a there's a commerce who could have seen it?

1000
00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:48.679
<v Speaker 8>Right?

1001
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Who could have? Who could have? Who could have? Dude?

1002
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.280
<v Speaker 1>When you earn a nick because like he didn't name

1003
00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:59.760
<v Speaker 1>himself merchant of death. If somebody started calling you merchant

1004
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:01.480
<v Speaker 1>of how would you feel about you?

1005
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:02.280
<v Speaker 7>Hope not anyway.

1006
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, but if they're like, oh, that's ross merchant of

1007
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:10.000
<v Speaker 1>death haze right, wait, how would you feel about that?

1008
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:15.400
<v Speaker 7>I probably asking the wrong pretty badass, but.

1009
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:18.199
<v Speaker 1>You don't actually sell weapons to terrorist organizations.

1010
00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:19.440
<v Speaker 7>Keep to myself, thank you?

1011
00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. It's like it's in the name.

1012
00:56:23.280 --> 00:56:26.760
<v Speaker 1>It's inherently in the name. He's the merchant of death.

1013
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh man. And like, so think of some of the

1014
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>most badass nicknames in history, right, they didn't get them

1015
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:44.679
<v Speaker 1>there because they you know, they're they're good dudes, right,

1016
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Uh of Ladd the Paler, what do you think that

1017
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:50.199
<v Speaker 1>was about? Do you think he liked ssh kabobs?

1018
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:53.079
<v Speaker 7>I mean he likes those little sweedish meat balls.

1019
00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh those are good though. Are you talking to the

1020
00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:56.519

<v Speaker 1>Paulse Okay, he got he was sticking meat on a pole.

1025
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:11.440
<v Speaker 1>That is that is absolutely the case. But uh yeah

1026
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:15.760
<v Speaker 1>yeah no, uh well I'm just looking at some I'm

1027
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:20.039
<v Speaker 1>looking at all these nicknames I can't like in history,

1028
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:26.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're all like the connotations are hey, hold on

1029
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:28.199
<v Speaker 1>this there's the list I was looking for. I was

1030
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>actually looking this stuff up. Yeah, the Scourge of Carpathia.

1031
00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>These are the other nicknames that they had for Vladdie

1032
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and Paler, The Scourge of Carpathia, the Unholy, the despised. Right,

1033
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:44.079
<v Speaker 1>you're not naming yourself that unless you're like a pro

1034

<v Speaker 1>wrestler and it's your it's your your act. Okay.

1035
00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:50.199
<v Speaker 7>It's literally the trade meme that you see online where

00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:51.519
<v Speaker 7>the guy sitting there and he's like, you know, I

1037
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:53.400
<v Speaker 7>offer you this, and you will give me this. You

1038
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:54.920
<v Speaker 7>will give me you know what is it? The the

1039
00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:56.199
<v Speaker 7>Unholy and I will give you.

1040
00:57:56.280 --> 00:58:02.039
<v Speaker 1>Brittany Grimer, uh Slowan Doom Melosavish's the butcher sure of Bosnia. Okay,

1041
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to think of some other ones. Doctor death.

1042
00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:07.280
<v Speaker 1>What's his bucket from Michigan?

1043
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:07.559
<v Speaker 8>Right?

1044
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:12.000
<v Speaker 1>These are these all have Jack the Ripper right right.

1045
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:14.840
<v Speaker 7>There's no coming back from that, like you're not going

1046
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:16.039
<v Speaker 7>to turn your life around.

1047
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:19.119
<v Speaker 1>No, No, you lean into it. And he leaned into

1048
00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:20.719
<v Speaker 1>it by going, hey, let me broke her a ten

1049
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:23.360
<v Speaker 1>million dollar arms deal to the rebels. They keep shooting

1050
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:26.320
<v Speaker 1>at the US Navy even though they just let me

1051
00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:30.199
<v Speaker 1>out of their prison for w NBA player who, by

1052
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the way, her job was to come back and just

1053
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:34.559
<v Speaker 1>be awful to Caitlin Clark like the rest of them.

1054
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:36.639
<v Speaker 1>By the way, what's the other chick's name, the one

1055
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that Kaylin Wood has the blood feud with, That is

1056
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Angel Reese? Did you hear Angel? This was last week?

1057
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.719
<v Speaker 1>So Angel Reese was was bemoaning the fact that people

1058
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:51.039
<v Speaker 1>see her as a villain because sports don't have villains

1059
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:52.039
<v Speaker 1>only her?

1060
00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:55.239
<v Speaker 2>What what.

1061
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Are you have you sportsed before? Like you don't think

1062
00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:05.679
<v Speaker 1>that there's villains in sports now? Sometimes the villains are

1063
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:09.599
<v Speaker 1>based on who you root for, right, But like there's

1064
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:13.519
<v Speaker 1>lots of villains in sport. Do you watch hockey? Uh

1065
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:18.239
<v Speaker 1>and just talk about enforcers man? That's a thing. So

1066
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:21.719
<v Speaker 1>like the whole thing's absurd. But what's not absurd is

1067
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:25.199
<v Speaker 1>he's now in a position to facilitate putting in the

1068
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:30.159
<v Speaker 1>hands of absolute lunatics and when they're not you know,

1069
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:32.840
<v Speaker 1>hooking up with their goat or sitting there on the

1070
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.719
<v Speaker 1>shoreline slinging weapons at US Navy destroyers. And it was

1071
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:42.199
<v Speaker 1>all so predictable. So there's a there's a lot in

1072
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the Uh, there's a lot in the nicknames, in the nicknames,

1073
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So all right, let's let's go ahead and grab ray

1074
00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:53.920
<v Speaker 1>thunder snow Stagic here. So he's with us. Who could

1075
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:56.000
<v Speaker 1>have predicted the Merchant of Death that we traded that

1076
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:58.760
<v Speaker 1>w NBA player for would be selling weapons to the

1077
00:59:58.800 --> 00:59:59.599
<v Speaker 1>hotel tables?

1078
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:04.199
<v Speaker 9>I mean, who who would have thunked that would have happened?

1079
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Dude? I was just I gotta pivot this quick. But

1080
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I was just We're just chatting with one of our senator,

1081
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Senator Ted Budd, and I asked the question at the end,

1082
01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>and this, I think it's become a much bigger question

1083
01:00:16.840 --> 01:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>if what happens to Tampa in Florida, for that matter,

1084
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is what it looks like might happen coupled with what

1085
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>had you know, we're dealing with in North Carolina. And

1086
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>they're already having struggle. They need to get their crap

1087
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>together asap because this thing's coming. Man, And yesterday, in

1088
01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours, this thing got a whole lot worse,

1089
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>at least from a predictive standpoint. So let's let's get

1090
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:40.719
<v Speaker 1>into this.

1091
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:42.719
<v Speaker 9>Yeah it did.

1092
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:46.840
<v Speaker 10>I mean, listen, We're we focus on Tampa because it's easy, right,

1093
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:49.400
<v Speaker 10>because it's the most vulnerable, maybe the most vulnerable.

1094
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Braydenton just south is kind of where they're thinking, this

1095
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>thing comes on shore.

1096
01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:56.519
<v Speaker 9>You can you can tell me, but yeah, no, give

1097
01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:56.920
<v Speaker 9>or take.

1098
01:00:57.039 --> 01:00:59.880
<v Speaker 10>So they're really it's right and near just west of

1099
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:01.960
<v Speaker 10>rain Inton, just to the east of Holmes Beach fen

1100
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:04.000
<v Speaker 10>So it's kind of the south end of Tampa Bay

1101
01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:06.960
<v Speaker 10>where goes out into the Gulf of Mexico. But still

1102
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:10.199
<v Speaker 10>the surge values, I'm still they're going ten to fifteen feet,

1103
01:01:10.199 --> 01:01:14.079
<v Speaker 10>which would double the record breaking surge from Helene. So

1104
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.800
<v Speaker 10>you know, coming in as a major whether it's Tampa

1105
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:19.599
<v Speaker 10>Bay is somewhere else, I mean, Tampa's just the most

1106
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:20.679
<v Speaker 10>vulnerable the surge.

1107
01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:22.400
<v Speaker 9>You know, somebody.

1108
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:26.639
<v Speaker 10>Is going to be in for bad things, including the wind,

1109
01:01:26.639 --> 01:01:29.400
<v Speaker 10>which could gust one ten plus trees down. You can

1110
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:31.480
<v Speaker 10>have inland flooding with six to ten inches of rain.

1111
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:37.159
<v Speaker 10>Yesterday broke some records fourth major hurricane of twenty twenty

1112
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.840
<v Speaker 10>four peak winspeed one eighty and boy, when it started

1113
01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:43.639
<v Speaker 10>looking like it did yesterday with that pinhole eye, I

1114
01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:46.599
<v Speaker 10>think everybody said like, nope, I'm gonna take the zero.

1115
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:49.079
<v Speaker 10>I'm getting out, And that's when you started seeing people

1116
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:53.079
<v Speaker 10>because it's likely not going to get that strong again.

1117
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:55.840
<v Speaker 10>It's forecasts to go back to one sixty briefly, so

1118
01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:00.400
<v Speaker 10>Cat five but weakening and the fifth lowest sure with

1119
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:03.039
<v Speaker 10>that one und eighty mile prower winds of all time.

1120
01:02:03.199 --> 01:02:05.880
<v Speaker 10>So you know, some records not the strongest we've had

1121
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:08.800
<v Speaker 10>in the Atlantic basin. But still, if it's not Tampa

1122
01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:14.400
<v Speaker 10>Bay case, it's going to be somebody luckily here go ahead, especially.

1123
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Before you pivot, before you pivot. I saw this story

1124
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and I didn't know this was a thing. Explain

1125
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this thing to me. I saw a story. I'm assuming

1126
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:26.239
<v Speaker 1>it's legit that a bunch of birds are trapped in

1127
01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the eye. Is that a thing that happens.

1128
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.679
<v Speaker 9>I've never I don't know.

1129
01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>From the Tampa newspaper they were selling that. What the

1130
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>how does how does that even work? Right? Well, it's

1131
01:02:41.119 --> 01:02:42.599
<v Speaker 1>off probably an issue.

1132
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:44.800
<v Speaker 9>Right, Yes, I guess.

1133
01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:46.960
<v Speaker 10>It's like you're stuck at the top and you're spinning

1134
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:49.000
<v Speaker 10>around so fast from the force, you just you can't

1135
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:49.440
<v Speaker 10>get out of it.

1136
01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:50.440
<v Speaker 9>I can. I can see that.

1137
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I hate me some seagulls, but damn dude, yeah.

1138
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.079
<v Speaker 9>He's don't watch out anybody.

1139
01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>I never seen that story ever a version of that.

1140
01:02:57.679 --> 01:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, So let's talk about closer to home here.

1141
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean really not a lot of change. No

1142
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:04.880
<v Speaker 10>rain for the foreseeable future. That could be the next

1143
01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:09.039
<v Speaker 10>two weeks. Actually low mid seventies today, tomorrow, maybe near

1144
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:11.320
<v Speaker 10>eighty again by the weekend Friday. You may dip a

1145
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:14.360
<v Speaker 10>little bit, but pleasant weather expected. Nighttime lows in the

1146
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:18.239
<v Speaker 10>upper forties lo to mid fifties through the period out

1147
01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:21.280
<v Speaker 10>for the Carolina beach especially South Carolina and the Georgia beaches.

1148
01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:23.719
<v Speaker 10>They did put up some alerts for surge and also

1149
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:27.559
<v Speaker 10>some tropical storm watches as we watch Milton get back

1150
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:31.000
<v Speaker 10>out over the open waters of Atlantic toward Thursday, maybe

1151
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:33.320
<v Speaker 10>close enough to kick up some surfing, maybe some tropical

1152
01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:36.239
<v Speaker 10>storm conditions. I didn't see much except for some high

1153
01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:39.679
<v Speaker 10>surfing beach erosion for the Carolina beaches. But I mean

1154
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:41.239
<v Speaker 10>they would have to take a pretty big swing to

1155
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:44.639
<v Speaker 10>get into that rainfall inland, and I don't think any

1156
01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:47.039
<v Speaker 10>further than the coast for any chance of any rain

1157
01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:47.840
<v Speaker 10>at least at this time.

1158
01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well we'll wait and see, and I

1159
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:54.519
<v Speaker 1>guess worry about those birds, all right, Thanks man, appreciate it,

1160
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, see it a bit, Yeah, Roz, I didn't

1161
01:03:56.840 --> 01:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>put that in the stack, but I was reading that.

1162
01:03:58.480 --> 01:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like that. Can you imagine you're you're you're some

1163
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>pain in the ass seagull and you're just you're like, oh,

1164
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:06.239
<v Speaker 1>this is nice, this is fine in here. But every

1165
01:04:06.280 --> 01:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>time you try to move twenty miles one way or

1166
01:04:08.440 --> 01:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the other, it's just the end of the world. Yeah,

1167
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that sounds like bad news for birds Man. All right,

1168
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>seven forty nine, hang on to play some more audio.

1169
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>We just got a few minutes here, and then we're

<v Speaker 1>It's not it's not a political thing. So I wanted

1175

01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:45.679
<v Speaker 1>travels up through the mountains and uh, and again, I

1177
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>want to hear from people that have eyeballs on this stuff.

1178
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be told by some administrator in

1179
01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Washington what I'm supposed to think. I'll do that for myself.

1180
01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. So we'll chat with her coming up here

<v Speaker 1>in just a just a few minutes. All right, So

1182
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>sixty minutes last night Kamala Harris on there and she

1183
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>actually again is she there wasn't trickery. They weren't screaming

1184
01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>at her some of the stuff you've seen with Trump interviews.

1185
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>They were lightly pushing back on things, and she was

1186
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>absolutely disintegrating, absolutely disintegrating. Let me just give you one

1187
01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>more example here. Oh, here we go. This is a

1188
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>good one. Check this out, and note that you have

1189
01:05:26.960 --> 01:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to watch the video so you can see the fear

1190
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>slash uh not understanding what's happening in her eyes. It's

1191
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:38.039
<v Speaker 1>truly amazing. Well, hold on, there we go.

1192
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:43.239
<v Speaker 5>My plan is about saying that when you invest in

1193
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:47.559
<v Speaker 5>small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you

1194
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:51.320
<v Speaker 5>strengthen America's economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone

1195
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:52.440
<v Speaker 5>of America's economy.

1196
01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:56.880
<v Speaker 3>But pardon me that, Vice President, the question was, how

1197
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:58.239
<v Speaker 3>are you going to pay for it?

1198
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:00.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, one of the things, so I'm going to make

1199
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:03.960
<v Speaker 5>sure that the richest among us who can afford it,

1200
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:06.760
<v Speaker 5>pay their fair share in taxes.

1201
01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:10.559
<v Speaker 6>It is not right that teachers and.

1202
01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:14.840
<v Speaker 5>Nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than

1203
01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:16.599
<v Speaker 5>billionaires and the biggest corporation.

1204
01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:19.280
<v Speaker 6>And I plan on making that fair.

1205
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:22.039
<v Speaker 3>But we're dealing with the real world here. But the

1206
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.000
<v Speaker 3>real world includes how are you going to get this

1207
01:06:24.079 --> 01:06:24.639
<v Speaker 3>through Congress?

1208
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:28.079
<v Speaker 5>You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of

1209
01:06:28.079 --> 01:06:30.719
<v Speaker 5>folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about

1210
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.960
<v Speaker 5>because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about.

1211
01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:39.119
<v Speaker 6>Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses.

1212
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1213
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been a busy show. We don't mind that.

1214
01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>What's this kind of cruise control things? Thank you to

1215
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Senator Ted Budd for joining us so one hour ago.

1216
01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to Kamala Harris for sitting down for that

1217
01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty minutes interview. But let's go ahead and get away

1218
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>from a little way. Politics is always going to be

1219
01:06:57.360 --> 01:06:59.679
<v Speaker 1>a part of this, But what I wanted is I

1220
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:03.119
<v Speaker 1>want to a perspective from somebody who really doesn't do

1221
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>politics per se, but has a deep knowledge of western

1222
01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina and also the context to really sit down

1223
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and talk to people and talk to them not just

1224
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.519
<v Speaker 1>on a you know, the first person basis where you're

1225
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>meeting them, but where they trust you enough to really

1226
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>tell you how they really feel. And I noticed one

1227
01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:25.159
<v Speaker 1>of the Twitter accounts that I follow her I see

1228
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>from time to time. Normally she's out harboring blood feuds

1229
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with Florida barbecue joints. But Dogwood Blooms is the handle.

1230
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Cassie Clark, and she just toured the

1231
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:40.519
<v Speaker 1>mountains up there talking to folks who wanted to welcome

1232
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>her on. Cassie, how you doing this morning?

1233
01:07:43.199 --> 01:07:43.639
<v Speaker 11>I'm good?

1234
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:44.119
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

1235
01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Is that an inaccurate description on the blood feuds thing, though,

1236
01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>because frankly, I think that's the first stuff I saw

1237
01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:57.559
<v Speaker 1>from you with the barbecue joints. So angry over barbecue

1238
01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:01.639
<v Speaker 1>in Florida versus North Carolina. People are nuts and they do.

1239
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:04.559
<v Speaker 2>And I am. People call me the Queen of North

1240
01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Carolina as a little joke, and I am one hundred

1241
01:08:07.519 --> 01:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>percent all in on supporting my state and our culture,

1242
01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, I tend to make people.

1243
01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Mad, right and just be fair. That's that's normally what

1244
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>you're covering, just all things North Carolina. Give me some

1245
01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>background real quick. I can't remember if you're from Wilmington

1246
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:23.119
<v Speaker 1>and then live in the mountains or lived in the

1247
01:08:23.159 --> 01:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>mountains and then moved to Wilmington. But what's your story

1248
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>just so folks know.

1249
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so my mama is from Wilmington and she has

1250
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:34.319
<v Speaker 2>very deep roots there, and then my daddy was from

1251
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:37.079
<v Speaker 2>western North Carolina and I have very deep roots in Canton,

1252
01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>and so my childhood was spent equally between the two places.

1253
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:45.520
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm this weird mix of he'll billy beach.

1254
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Bump, right, But every one of the Piedmonts say, why

1255
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>do you hate us? So that's fine, that's fine, that's okay.

1256
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about Canton. We'll get to Wilmington should

1257
01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the need arise here in the future. And you know,

1258
01:08:58.399 --> 01:09:00.479
<v Speaker 1>there's so much politics, there's a lot lot of people

1259
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>who are very upset. There's wild stuff floating around, and

1260
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it.

1261
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Whether I'm talking to the senator, I'm talking to you,

1262
01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>or we're taking calls from folks. So in your in

1263
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>your experience, and you can explain, because you went to

1264
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:16.199
<v Speaker 1>a few different towns, right, what did you see going

1265
01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>on when you were up there?

1266
01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:22.239
<v Speaker 2>So I always ask people not to pliticize me, because

1267
01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't do politics, and always warn them you don't

1268
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:29.359
<v Speaker 2>want me to get into politics because I am part Hillbilly,

1269
01:09:29.439 --> 01:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>and so we naturally distrust the government. We just do.

1270
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.119
<v Speaker 2>We don't like outsiders, and that's just how it is.

1271
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>And so when I went home, I saw a lot

1272
01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:42.239
<v Speaker 2>of volunteers. I did not see FEMA personally. I didn't

1273
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>see them. I'm not saying they weren't there. I'm saying

1274
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>that in the areas that I went into, they were nowhere.

1275
01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:47.960
<v Speaker 3>To be found.

1276
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>And so, just just so folks know, while we're explaining this,

1277
01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:53.399
<v Speaker 1>what communities did you visit?

1278
01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:54.880
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely?

1279
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:57.359
<v Speaker 2>So I went home to Canton. That was our first

1280
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.159
<v Speaker 2>drop offs was in Canton. We went to lease us Sure,

1281
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>we went to Sandy Mush, we went to Crabtree. A

1282
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:04.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of y'all aren't going to know these places. They're

1283
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>very tidy. And then we went back to Canton and

1284
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:12.439
<v Speaker 2>all of those places I made sure to ask, have

1285
01:10:12.600 --> 01:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>you guys seen FEMA? What's going on? And all of

1286
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:20.239
<v Speaker 2>them said no. We've been getting supplies in from civilians.

1287
01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>People are dropping stuff off at churches. We're making sure

1288
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>those get delivered. No word of FEMA whatsoever. Last Thursday,

1289
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:28.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way.

1290
01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>For those because we got a lot of transplants to

1291
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. I'm sure you're aware. For those of you wondering,

1292
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Canton sits between Waynesville and Nashville, that's right. Yeah, did

1293
01:10:37.479 --> 01:10:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you go to the did you go to the casino?

1294
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Go see what was up over at the Haras there

1295
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>in Cherokee. I'm just really cold.

1296
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:44.000
<v Speaker 8>I did.

1297
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:45.199
<v Speaker 1>What's going on there?

1298
01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:46.520
<v Speaker 11>I did not.

1299
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I have a trip planned again in two weeks. I'm

1300
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:52.319
<v Speaker 2>hoping to get some more information, to sit down and

1301
01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:57.199
<v Speaker 2>actually talk and hopefully interview some people from what to

1302
01:10:57.399 --> 01:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>my understanding, FEMA is being cows in here is right now,

1303
01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and for me, that is extremely insulting. You know, there

1304
01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>are people who don't have homes western North Carolina. There's

1305
01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of elderly people up there. You know, where

1306
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:17.039
<v Speaker 2>are they being you mean.

1307
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:18.760
<v Speaker 11>They're what at you know?

1308
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

1309
01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>And elderly people love casinos. I would point that out

1310
01:11:22.079 --> 01:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>as well.

1311
01:11:23.880 --> 01:11:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know so much about in western North Carolina,

1312
01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:29.359
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, you know, where are they at right now?

1313
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm sure they're not in you know, a

1314
01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>hotel room. And so to hear that FEMA is up there,

1315
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>one of the nicest hotels in the entire region, and

1316
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.359
<v Speaker 2>there are people suffering everywhere. That just seems like an

1317
01:11:41.399 --> 01:11:42.119
<v Speaker 2>injustice to me.

1318
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>One of the things, and I'm sure that there's plenty

1319
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:48.079
<v Speaker 1>of people listening, whether it's a hurricane, of fire, or

1320
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:51.119
<v Speaker 1>some other natural disaster. One of the things that really

1321
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>is jarring is when something strikes where you're from, or

1322
01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>where you were from, or wherever, where you have a

1323
01:11:58.720 --> 01:12:02.079
<v Speaker 1>base working knowledge and your visual part of your brain

1324
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>as to what the topography is supposed to look like,

1325
01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:07.039
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, it doesn't look like that.

1326
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:11.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Wyoming, and right now my brother and his

1327
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>wife who still live out there, are trying to decide

1328
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what they're going to do because of a giant fire

1329
01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:18.479
<v Speaker 1>that has come down, and they were sending me pictures

1330
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>of areas that I know outside of Dayton, Wyoming, and

1331
01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't look like they used to. So when you're

1332
01:12:24.359 --> 01:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>going back to Canton, you know where, you know where stuck,

1333
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you know where the swimming hole is, you know where

1334
01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you used to go hang out with friends, where you

1335
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:33.319
<v Speaker 1>used to go get ice cream. So now you lay

1336
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.119
<v Speaker 1>eyes on that, how different did it look to you?

1337
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Downtown to me looked like a set from an old

1338
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Western movie covered in dust roped off. You couldn't get in,

1339
01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:50.479
<v Speaker 2>the roads were down. I mean, it was it was jarring,

1340
01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:54.439
<v Speaker 2>It was heartbreaking. I was somebody sent me photos from

1341
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Friday when the flooding first began and all of downtown

1342
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>was underwater. I mean, it was just hard wrenching to

1343
01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:05.359
<v Speaker 2>see it. And when you went up through Crabtree, you know,

1344
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:07.560
<v Speaker 2>it looked like bomb went off in the middle of

1345
01:13:07.640 --> 01:13:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the creeks in where were was sandy Mush. It was like,

1346
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Sandy Mush is a very difficult Yeah, it's a very

1347
01:13:17.319 --> 01:13:18.319
<v Speaker 2>difficult road.

1348
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:18.720
<v Speaker 8>To begin with.

1349
01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Every two hundred feet the road was washed out, so

1350
01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you're working on one lane and a very steep area.

1351
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:28.319
<v Speaker 2>There was still no power. I mean, it was just

1352
01:13:28.520 --> 01:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>it was heartbreaking. And knowing that the majority of the

1353
01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:34.199
<v Speaker 2>help coming in were people like me that made it worse.

1354
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. You know, here's something too that I don't think

1355
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:41.399
<v Speaker 1>it has It has occurred to some people, but as

1356
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a person who also grew up in the mountains, most

1357
01:13:44.119 --> 01:13:48.279
<v Speaker 1>mountain roads follow bodies of water. That's just the way

1358
01:13:48.319 --> 01:13:50.319
<v Speaker 1>that it was. It was these I shouldn't say most,

1359
01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of them do, especially a lot of

1360
01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the main ones. And when you go through rural North Carolina,

1361
01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>like there's a place I like to go up in Asheville.

1362
01:13:57.000 --> 01:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I think every ounce of road is next to a

1363
01:13:58.880 --> 01:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>river or a crikup then those are so they're the

1364
01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>body of those bodies of water is so much wider

1365
01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>than it was. I don't know they're going to be

1366
01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:11.359
<v Speaker 1>able to build roads inside those canyons and gullies is

1367
01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:13.359
<v Speaker 1>the same way we used to. I mean this, it

1368
01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>may never look the same.

1369
01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:20.319
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say that. Hillbillies are pretty determined, and

1370
01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I feel like what can be fixed, they will most

1371
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:26.199
<v Speaker 2>certainly fix it. And you know, I live through Ivan

1372
01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and four and that completely destroyed the area,

1373
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:33.439
<v Speaker 2>like the specific area where I'm from, and they came

1374
01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:36.760
<v Speaker 2>back from that, and so I have all hopes that

1375
01:14:37.159 --> 01:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna rebuild everywhere else.

1376
01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>When you talk to people, we were chatting with the senator,

1377
01:14:44.199 --> 01:14:46.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, people have different mindsets when it comes to

1378
01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>FEMA and outside help. And I pointed out one of

1379
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the factors there, and you mentioned it is it's the

1380
01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:56.439
<v Speaker 1>type of people you're dealing with. And you know, frankly,

1381
01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>same people I grew up with they would just assume

1382
01:14:59.640 --> 01:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>not see federal help. And I'm not encouraging that, but

1383
01:15:03.520 --> 01:15:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering how pervasive that attitude is where they're just like, fine,

1384
01:15:07.399 --> 01:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll do this ourselves.

1385
01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that's very pervasive in western North Carolina. I mean,

1386
01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>we've kind of you know, I grew up on stories

1387
01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>of you know, family lands being stolen by the government

1388
01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:22.159
<v Speaker 2>to create the Great Smokies. I grew up on tales

1389
01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of you know, the road to nowhere and the broken

1390
01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>government promise behind that. I mean that directly impacted my family.

1391
01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I have deep roots in Swain County, and so I

1392
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>feel like people still feel that way up there. And

1393
01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't make any judgment on that either way. I

1394
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:41.520
<v Speaker 2>mean that's you know, that's just the way it is.

1395
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I would like to see them get more support. I

1396
01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:48.279
<v Speaker 2>would like, but of course we're in a place where,

1397
01:15:48.279 --> 01:15:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've come to the point after all of

1398
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:53.359
<v Speaker 2>this where I don't trust any government. I've never felt

1399
01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:56.439
<v Speaker 2>this way where I just like, literally have no faith whatsoever,

1400
01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and so I can understand how they feel.

1401
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It's funny you mentioned the smoking about it literally happened

1402
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to us with the National Forest. Yeah, that's the whole thing,

1403
01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:09.319
<v Speaker 1>and it will, it will impact generations of thinking. And

1404
01:16:09.600 --> 01:16:13.159
<v Speaker 1>this isn't this isn't helping. You've lived in North Carolina

1405
01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>all your life. I'm not going to ask you how

1406
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:17.399
<v Speaker 1>old you are, Cassie, But in those years, have you

1407
01:16:17.520 --> 01:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>ever seen devastation like this in North Carolina on this scale?

1408
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:24.680
<v Speaker 2>No, not on the scale. We're talking about at least

1409
01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty counties that experience severe flooding of some sort, and

1410
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:33.279
<v Speaker 2>so that's one fifth of our state. And you know,

1411
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>when this happens in Wilmington, and of course I have

1412
01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:40.359
<v Speaker 2>fruits in Wilmington too. You know, the devastation that you

1413
01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:44.439
<v Speaker 2>see is never as bad as what I'm seeing back home.

1414
01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:47.399
<v Speaker 2>And the reason for that is is because people live

1415
01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:48.479
<v Speaker 2>in these little hollers.

1416
01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:49.279
<v Speaker 11>You know, a lot of.

1417
01:16:49.279 --> 01:16:52.359
<v Speaker 2>People live in very rural areas. And it seems like

1418
01:16:52.560 --> 01:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Aspell and Boone are getting all the attention. Well what

1419
01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>about all these other people who live out in the

1420
01:16:57.600 --> 01:16:58.399
<v Speaker 2>middle of nowhere.

1421
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't just agree with you, and to you know,

1422
01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>to really put an emphasis on that. Remember, we're talking

1423
01:17:04.439 --> 01:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>about eight hundred mile wide story. Let me give two

1424
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>facts to people. Eight hundred mile wide and we had

1425
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>storm desks confirmed storm desk from Mecklenburg to Ash County.

1426
01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:16.159
<v Speaker 1>If you all want to get a map out, that's

1427
01:17:16.279 --> 01:17:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the entire north south of the state and a little

1428
01:17:19.239 --> 01:17:24.319
<v Speaker 1>east west. That's an amazing footprint. So admittedly, I think

1429
01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:28.199
<v Speaker 1>people understand that this is not a typical hurricane operation

1430
01:17:28.319 --> 01:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>where we're dealing with Wilmington maybe up to Newbern because

1431
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it flooded up there. This is something that makes that

1432
01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:39.479
<v Speaker 1>is already pretty inaccessible in and of itself, that has

1433
01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>made much more inaccessible by what happened.

1434
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and then you also have to consider, you know,

1435
01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>this is going to impact you know, economy in western

1436
01:17:50.079 --> 01:17:54.239
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina horribly because right now is leaf season. This

1437
01:17:54.399 --> 01:17:57.199
<v Speaker 2>is when everybody goes up there to tour and look

1438
01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>at the beautiful weaves and so everything being closed down

1439
01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>right now this is going to be another huge hit.

1440
01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:06.319
<v Speaker 2>It's also really cold up there, and right now is

1441
01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:09.199
<v Speaker 2>the time when the tempts start dropping. So, I mean,

1442
01:18:09.279 --> 01:18:13.560
<v Speaker 2>there's all of these concerns going on, and the disorganization

1443
01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:17.720
<v Speaker 2>and getting things moving that's a problem. And you know,

1444
01:18:17.840 --> 01:18:20.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody else is worried about, you know, politics, I don't

1445
01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about politics, you know, And I've always

1446
01:18:24.039 --> 01:18:26.239
<v Speaker 2>begged everybody not to put me in the middle of it, because,

1447
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:29.600
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I'm going to call out anybody who

1448
01:18:29.640 --> 01:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I think is doing wrong. So just leave me alone

1449
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:36.520
<v Speaker 2>because no one's gonna like me. But yeah, I mean

1450
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>there's all of these things and all the rumors and

1451
01:18:39.479 --> 01:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>all the bus it's just taking attention away from where

1452
01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:45.279
<v Speaker 2>that attention needs to be placed.

1453
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this was we got into this yesterday. With the

1454
01:18:49.079 --> 01:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>economics of it. You left something out. People go look

1455
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:55.239
<v Speaker 1>at leaves and then they drive ungodly slow for no reason,

1456
01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>but you kind of understand why they're doing it. That's

1457
01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>something a lot of community. Sorry, I just probably struck

1458
01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a nerve there, that is. But that's something that a

1459
01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of communities are going to miss out. On the

1460
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Blue Rich Parkway, they're estimating late December for a lot

1461
01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of areas. I like to go to Price Julian Price

1462
01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:13.439
<v Speaker 1>could go camping there in the fall, and that doesn't

1463
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>look like that's going to be accessible. So even though

1464
01:19:16.039 --> 01:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you can drive around and look at leaves, you also

1465
01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>have to have trees with leaves on them. So this

1466
01:19:21.800 --> 01:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>is this is gonna be a big deal.

1467
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:24.640
<v Speaker 11>Yes, it is.

1468
01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:27.359
<v Speaker 2>And that was one of the concerns in my hometown.

1469
01:19:27.439 --> 01:19:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Mayor and I do have to give major props to Canton.

1470
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:37.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, they were doing really good. The like organization

1471
01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:40.319
<v Speaker 2>back home was wonderful, you know, from what I saw

1472
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the churches, everybody was working together. They were quickly getting

1473
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>back on their feet. I wasn't seeing that everywhere.

1474
01:19:48.359 --> 01:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Well that's that is good. What would you say, is

1475
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the hardest hip place that you visited? Was it Canton?

1476
01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:00.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it was probably Cude So Cuide is a

1477
01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>very small town between Canton and Wainefull. It's basically just

1478
01:20:06.760 --> 01:20:10.800
<v Speaker 2>one little strip. There was no power on when we

1479
01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:14.079
<v Speaker 2>went up there. It looked like everything was still completely

1480
01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:20.439
<v Speaker 2>shut down. And from what I heard, the main off

1481
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of the main strip when you get closer to the river,

1482
01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:25.399
<v Speaker 2>which is only i would say one or two streets away,

1483
01:20:26.199 --> 01:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that there was major devastation back there. We didn't go

1484
01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:32.159
<v Speaker 2>back there because we were on a you know, on schedule.

1485
01:20:32.239 --> 01:20:34.239
<v Speaker 2>We were trying to drop things off, so I didn't

1486
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>really get to look. I also heard that Bezel and

1487
01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Crusoe were hit really hard, which are also in Heywood County.

1488
01:20:40.880 --> 01:20:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately I didn't get to see those, but I will

1489
01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:45.600
<v Speaker 2>try to get back in two weeks whenever I go

1490
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:46.039
<v Speaker 2>back home.

1491
01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, So if somebody's wanting to head out earlier,

1492
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:51.079
<v Speaker 1>they want to bring supplies, what is it people aren't

1493
01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:54.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking to bring that. Frankly, the folks up there would appreciate.

1494
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>What do you think right now? I would probably say

1495
01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:03.439
<v Speaker 2>propane is a big one. Something else that I've heard

1496
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:05.880
<v Speaker 2>no one mentioned which drives me crazy is a lot

1497
01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:08.479
<v Speaker 2>of homes in western North Carolina are still heated by wood,

1498
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>which those are very popular up there, particularly, Yeah, in

1499
01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Heywood County, we have all these trees that are down.

1500
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:17.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, I would hope that all of that wood

1501
01:21:17.680 --> 01:21:20.800
<v Speaker 2>would be cut up and go to homes for free heat.

1502
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:28.560
<v Speaker 2>That would just make sense. You know, lighters, batteries, work gloves,

1503
01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:33.880
<v Speaker 2>chainsaw blades, you know, things like that are desperately needed

1504
01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:36.399
<v Speaker 2>right now. I think we've still got good amount of

1505
01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:40.640
<v Speaker 2>food and water coming in that, you know. I worry

1506
01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:43.520
<v Speaker 2>that volunteer and donation efforts are going to dry up

1507
01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:47.159
<v Speaker 2>long before they're in a stable place again.

1508
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, if what happens down in Florida that is projected

1509
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to happen to the city of Tampa, I my concern

1510
01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:56.920
<v Speaker 1>is that not that not that we can't handle two

1511
01:21:57.000 --> 01:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>things at once, but some people just have an inability

1512
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And it's very easy for the media

1513
01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:06.319
<v Speaker 1>to start focusing all their attention there because it is

1514
01:22:06.399 --> 01:22:10.319
<v Speaker 1>the active storm, but that could be devastating for North

1515
01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Carolina's recovery efforts. I got about thirty seconds if you

1516
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:14.119
<v Speaker 1>want to respond.

1517
01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and that I brought this up weeks ago is

1518
01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:22.680
<v Speaker 2>that you know, the next big thing will take all

1519
01:22:22.800 --> 01:22:25.199
<v Speaker 2>eyes off western North Carolina, and I'm going to try

1520
01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:26.720
<v Speaker 2>not to allow that to happen.

1521
01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>If folks want to follow you on Twitter, it's at

1522
01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Dogwood Blooms, which in and of itself is a North

1523
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Carolina reference and it's an interesting follow.

1524
01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll say that, Cassie, well, thank you, Casey. Yeah.

1525
01:22:41.159 --> 01:22:43.479
<v Speaker 1>And there will be when everything's better, there will be

1526
01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:45.680
<v Speaker 1>more barbecue blood feuds and they're fun to watch. But

1527
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.159
<v Speaker 1>until then, Cassie, I appreciate it very much. Okay, thank

1528
01:22:49.199 --> 01:22:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you for having me on yep. So there you go.

1529
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, we want first person, We got first person.

1530
01:22:54.720 --> 01:22:56.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what we're here for, and we'll be back with

1531
01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:00.880
<v Speaker 1>lots more coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio program.

1532
01:23:01.079 --> 01:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Like so, we don't normally do a couple guests there,

1533
01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully we got something out of that. I think

1534
01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>we did. I got content, so yeah, for me, Yeah,

1535
01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:13.600
<v Speaker 1>There's there's so much going on though that it isn't

1536
01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:16.159
<v Speaker 1>hurricane related, and I just I want to kind of

1537
01:23:16.199 --> 01:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>lean into some of that stuff first and foremost. If

1538
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you haven't watched the Kamala Harris sixty minutes interview that

1539
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.399
<v Speaker 1>aired yesterday, I am only and this is just a theory.

1540
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm correct. I wonder if they're

1541
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>looking at the numbers and they have made the decision

1542
01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:38.039
<v Speaker 1>like they made after the Biden debate, if you want

1543
01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>to call it that beatdown, that we have to run

1544
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>cover for ourselves, right and in the sense that once

1545
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Biden appeared like he appeared in that debate, all of

1546
01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>these media outlets, even though you knew it and I

1547
01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:57.159
<v Speaker 1>knew it, We and most smart people, I think know it,

1548
01:23:57.319 --> 01:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>some choose to dismiss it. But like they they were

1549
01:24:00.720 --> 01:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the Emperor with no clothes man, and they realized that

1550
01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it's so blatant that no reasonable person thinks that anyone

1551
01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:13.560
<v Speaker 1>who had any interaction with Biden during this period, including lawmakers,

1552
01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:17.520
<v Speaker 1>including members of the media staffers could in any way,

1553
01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>shape or form make a coherent argument that this dude

1554
01:24:20.840 --> 01:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>isn't diminished and that there was a problem. And then

1555
01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:28.760
<v Speaker 1>they didn't even fully correct it. But whatever, it led

1556
01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:31.279
<v Speaker 1>to this. But the media had to scramble because they

1557
01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:35.119
<v Speaker 1>were indicted as well, and you saw the visual ross.

1558
01:24:35.239 --> 01:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember how vicious the media immediately turned on

1559
01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Biden and the Democrats for at least just a few

1560
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>days anyway, until they figured out the Kamalist stuff. Like

1561
01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:47.239
<v Speaker 1>it was absolute night and day when you were putting

1562
01:24:47.279 --> 01:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>prep together, was it not completely Yeah?

1563
01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:53.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was like finally, for the first time in years,

1564
01:24:53.079 --> 01:24:54.479
<v Speaker 7>it was like, there we have some honesty here.

1565
01:24:55.000 --> 01:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And they but understand that wasn't some moral compass

1566
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:02.199
<v Speaker 1>thing that drove them to do completely politically motivated the

1567
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>cya and politically motivated one hundred percent. I wonder if

1568
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that might be going on with Kamala and Walls. You

1569
01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>had the SNL skits right, which weren't even that damaging

1570
01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:16.760
<v Speaker 1>in the grand scheme of things, but it was. But

1571
01:25:17.119 --> 01:25:23.640
<v Speaker 1>when you've spent years of them not parroting Biden really

1572
01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:29.319
<v Speaker 1>and not parroting Kamala really, but also considering even after

1573
01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>he's out of office, with their opening, that opening segment

1574
01:25:32.199 --> 01:25:36.199
<v Speaker 1>that they do the opening skit uh, I can't remember.

1575
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said it was like a dozen of them were Trump,

1576
01:25:39.039 --> 01:25:42.039
<v Speaker 1>which were and they were just mean Trump ones. But

1577
01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>he's got it. Trump is a dude. You can absolutely parody.

1578
01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not difficult. And I even told you some of

1579
01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>this stuff fun I think CHEETOHLINI is hilarious because I'm too.

1580
01:25:54.880 --> 01:25:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I under I understand it's how people use it. But

1581
01:25:57.359 --> 01:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that's funny. I think that's clever. That's just

1582
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the immature me. But this wasn't that. This was

1583
01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:07.119
<v Speaker 1>really vicious stuff. And so for for that treatment to

1584
01:26:07.239 --> 01:26:10.119
<v Speaker 1>then start going over in that direction for the interviewer

1585
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>there on sixty minutes, and remember sixty minutes is as

1586
01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:17.800
<v Speaker 1>bad as the rest of them. They constantly have been,

1587
01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and they themselves have attempted to, in my in my

1588
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>opinion and probably a lot of other people, libel and

1589
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>slander Trump on some things. Remember Ross reminded me of

1590
01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:31.960
<v Speaker 1>this earlier. Remember, following that one sixty minutes interview, Donald

1591
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump released the entire interview and not their edited version.

1592
01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Remember they scream bloody murder over it.

1593
01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:39.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that was the one with the Leslie Stall.

1594
01:26:39.840 --> 01:26:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they scream bloody murder over it. And he's just like, no,

1595
01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you've missed. You've so misrepresented what I said to you.

1596
01:26:46.640 --> 01:26:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Here's what was actually said. And if you watched it,

1597
01:26:49.159 --> 01:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you realized how twisted the whole thing was. So these

1598
01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>are these aren't they? She didn't just accidentally fall in

1599
01:26:55.760 --> 01:27:00.239
<v Speaker 1>with some honest arbiter. So the question becomes, why did

1600
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>they continue to press her, and not even that aggressively

1601
01:27:02.920 --> 01:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>so that she folded like a cheap accordion is the

1602
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:06.039
<v Speaker 1>saying goes.

1603
01:27:06.239 --> 01:27:08.359
<v Speaker 7>I mean, because that's what happened, you can understand what

1604
01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:11.000
<v Speaker 7>happened with Walls and Fox News this past weekend because yes,

1605
01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:14.960
<v Speaker 7>Fox News and he looked completely unprepared, but this was CBS.

1606
01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:16.520
<v Speaker 7>I don't think she was expecting this at all.

1607
01:27:17.439 --> 01:27:19.239
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I think she thought she was good. And

1608
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:21.079
<v Speaker 1>they did it to Walls too. We're just not highlight

1609
01:27:21.159 --> 01:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>because we like the the Kamalist stuff. There's just so

1610
01:27:24.359 --> 01:27:27.159
<v Speaker 1>much of it, and and you have that, but you

1611
01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>also couple that with and this is this is where

1612
01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the conspiracy starts to build. Biden's been outneecapping her did

1613
01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you see what happened with Ron DeSantis? All right, so

1614
01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:39.479
<v Speaker 1>ABC or CBA, one of the one of the c's

1615
01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>UH decided, well, I guess CBS starts with the sea,

1616
01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>but you get it. They decided that they were going

1617
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to run this garbage story yesterday that Ron DeSantis UH

1618
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't take a call from UH from Kamala right. Still

1619
01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:04.199
<v Speaker 1>the vice president still has the female apparatus. What what

1620
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>why why would he ignore her call? She's just trying

1621
01:28:07.600 --> 01:28:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to help and they and they just took they just

1622
01:28:09.520 --> 01:28:12.319
<v Speaker 1>took their word for it. So Ron DeSantis had a

1623
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>presser where he's trying to convince people to get out

1624
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:15.199
<v Speaker 1>of Tampa.

1625
01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:16.159
<v Speaker 2>UH.

1626
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Not quite as aggressive as the mayor of Tampa, who said,

1627
01:28:19.800 --> 01:28:24.079
<v Speaker 1>what was it? If you stay, you die? So you

1628
01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:27.479
<v Speaker 1>know that's and she she may not be wrong. And

1629
01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in fact, some people I know from Tampa I got

1630
01:28:29.600 --> 01:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in contact with yesterday who normally stay there, they left

1631
01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:35.239
<v Speaker 1>and I was blown away by one of them who left.

1632
01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:37.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to name names because like that dude

1633
01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>enjoys a hurricane. I think they're out of there. So

1634
01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:43.720
<v Speaker 1>DeSantis is trying to lay out what's going on, and

1635
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>did you they already have the Tropicana, which is the

1636
01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Devil Rays Stadium, which is which frankly is so far

1637
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:54.159
<v Speaker 1>south in the Tampa metro it might be where it

1638
01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>makes landfall, or well that that part of the coast

1639
01:28:57.720 --> 01:29:01.560
<v Speaker 1>is as you work inland and it is. The whole

1640
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:06.279
<v Speaker 1>stadium is bunks for military and National guardsmen who are

1641
01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:11.359
<v Speaker 1>already there, read to go, waiting to do their thing.

1642
01:29:12.560 --> 01:29:13.880
<v Speaker 2>So he was.

1643
01:29:14.319 --> 01:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>He demonstrated a level of organization that I wish we

1644
01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>would have seen. That being said, they just had to

1645
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>get into this whole Oh well yeah, they DeSantis, Yeah,

1646
01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this is Kamala.

1647
01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:28.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

1648
01:29:28.680 --> 01:29:30.239
<v Speaker 1>We tried to call him and he wouldn't even take

1649
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:33.840
<v Speaker 1>her call because he's playing politics with the storm. All right,

1650
01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>well here's DeSantis form the press comm.

1651
01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:39.760
<v Speaker 12>My focus has not been on dealing with with Kamala Harris.

1652
01:29:40.359 --> 01:29:42.760
<v Speaker 12>I saw the news report. I didn't know she tried

1653
01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:46.199
<v Speaker 12>to contact me. But I'd also say, it's not about you, Kamala,

1654
01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:50.159
<v Speaker 12>It's about the people of Florida. My focus is exactly

1655
01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:50.960
<v Speaker 12>where it should be.

1656
01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And I can tell you this.

1657
01:29:52.560 --> 01:29:55.800
<v Speaker 12>I've worked on these hurricanes under both President Trump and

1658
01:29:56.039 --> 01:29:59.720
<v Speaker 12>President Biden. Neither of them ever tried to politicize it.

1659
01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:03.319
<v Speaker 12>She has never called on any of the storms we've

1660
01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:06.920
<v Speaker 12>had since she's been vice president until apparently now, Why

1661
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:09.199
<v Speaker 12>all of a sudden is she trying to parachute in

1662
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:12.399
<v Speaker 12>and inject herself when she's never shown any interest in

1663
01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:15.439
<v Speaker 12>the past. We know it's because of politics. We know

1664
01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:19.399
<v Speaker 12>it's because of her campaign. I have zero time to

1665
01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:22.000
<v Speaker 12>entertain these political games.

1666
01:30:22.399 --> 01:30:25.119
<v Speaker 1>And when I'm watching stuff like that. Oh so let

1667
01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>me but let me give you the kneecap part of this.

1668
01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:30.119
<v Speaker 1>So he holds the stories out there, he holds that

1669
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>press conference, makes that statement. The majority of it was

1670
01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:35.600
<v Speaker 1>not about this, obviously, was about other stuff. But you know,

1671
01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of course they hit him with the question, and what

1672
01:30:40.079 --> 01:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>does Joe Biden do? Not that Joe Biden probably did,

1673
01:30:44.119 --> 01:30:47.279
<v Speaker 1>What does the White House do? They post flipping photos

1674
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of him and DeSantis on the phone together and not

1675
01:30:51.119 --> 01:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>in the creepy Kamala Ashville thing where it's live. It's

1676
01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:57.279
<v Speaker 1>just photos of Biden sitting there. He's got I don't

1677
01:30:57.800 --> 01:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, He's got a couple of people in the room.

1678
01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He's got schematics, you know, just he's got this stuff

1679
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:05.199
<v Speaker 1>you would look like you have when you're having this

1680
01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>conversation and I don't know what the substance of it was,

1681
01:31:08.760 --> 01:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>but to post that is to undermine this claim, this

1682
01:31:12.079 --> 01:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>hail Mary claim that she's making. And remember this is

1683
01:31:14.840 --> 01:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>just days after the dude who has not done the

1684
01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:23.359
<v Speaker 1>where he's just wandered into the press briefing room in years, right.

1685
01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:25.600
<v Speaker 7>He didn't do a press conference for three years, but

1686
01:31:25.680 --> 01:31:27.640
<v Speaker 7>he stumbles in and just rolls in and he's like, oh,

1687
01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:28.640
<v Speaker 7>by the way, while I'm.

1688
01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Here, Yeah, well I'm here, And immediately CNN is in

1689
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the process of cutting to Kamala's rally where she's going

1690
01:31:35.279 --> 01:31:38.079
<v Speaker 1>to one hundred percent control of the narrative. They're in

1691
01:31:38.279 --> 01:31:41.239
<v Speaker 1>the process of making the throw because it was the

1692
01:31:41.279 --> 01:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>White House press briefing, so they were airing that, and

1693
01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:46.119
<v Speaker 1>then they were gonna get away from that go to

1694
01:31:46.159 --> 01:31:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the Kamala Harris thing and they stay and they couldn't.

1695
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:52.359
<v Speaker 1>They had to stick around. So this coverage, this free

1696
01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>media she was going to get didn't arrive because he

1697
01:31:57.880 --> 01:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>randomly at that moment did it. And then also really

1698
01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:04.600
<v Speaker 1>undermines this whole thing with the photo that Biden the

1699
01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:09.079
<v Speaker 1>White House posted under the Potus account. How am I

1700
01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to think something's up now. I don't don't

1701
01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:14.199
<v Speaker 1>get if you if you're if you're if you're you know,

1702
01:32:14.439 --> 01:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>on team Trump, you know, don't. I wouldn't sit on

1703
01:32:16.800 --> 01:32:19.439
<v Speaker 1>your haunches on this. But if you're on team Kamala,

1704
01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you have to you have to keep in mind that

1705
01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:24.479
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like some people are backstabby.

1706
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:24.720
<v Speaker 9>Man.

1707
01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:28.399
<v Speaker 1>I know that sounds petty, but what else am I

1708
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:29.199
<v Speaker 1>supposed to think?

1709
01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:31.000
<v Speaker 7>Dude? When he steps out and he's like, hey, I

1710
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:33.039
<v Speaker 7>just want to say while I'm here, Yeah, you know

1711
01:32:33.119 --> 01:32:35.239
<v Speaker 7>that we sing from the same songbook, and you know

1712
01:32:35.359 --> 01:32:37.640
<v Speaker 7>all of her great idea, all of my policies were

1713
01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:39.920
<v Speaker 7>her policies, and yeah, what else you dude?

1714
01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Mocked Nixon tapes right where he's just like, I want

1715
01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:46.159
<v Speaker 1>to lower gas prices.

1716
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:47.640
<v Speaker 7>And she's like, noison by three bucks?

1717
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh how did those lead? Crazy? Yeah?

1718
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:54.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's maybe that's how it gets worse. I

1719
01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:57.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I'm I'm watching all this stuff, and

1720
01:32:57.520 --> 01:32:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching all the people in the media and around

1721
01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:03.359
<v Speaker 1>and the world, the politics, and you know there's gonna

1722
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>be there's a cut bait moment. If it comes to that.

1723
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:10.359
<v Speaker 1>It may not she could win right, but there people

1724
01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>identify that cut bait moment and they're out of there.

1725
01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:17.359
<v Speaker 1>What do you think happened to Mark Robinson? They identified

1726
01:33:17.399 --> 01:33:19.039
<v Speaker 1>the cut bait moment and they were out of there.

1727
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:23.439
<v Speaker 1>So it's a thing, all right, raced Agic, He's he's

<v Speaker 1>it's I've slept on a on a blow up mattress

1734
01:33:40.359 --> 01:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>in the radio station before. It's not fun. I've never

1735
01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:44.119
<v Speaker 1>done it as long as he was doing it.

1736

1739
01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:55.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not personal, it's just your.

1740
01:33:55.079 --> 01:33:57.359
<v Speaker 10>All kind of it's just what you are, right, It's

1741
01:33:57.399 --> 01:33:59.800
<v Speaker 10>just where you are and what you're doing. Especially for

1742
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:02.880
<v Speaker 10>the circumstances that they were in, and I know he

1743
01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:03.359
<v Speaker 10>had sent.

1744

1745
01:34:06.199 --> 01:34:08.920

1746
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:11.039
<v Speaker 1>down I forty, so they had to go to Atlanta.

1747
01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So he wouldn't. He didn't even say to his wife

1748
01:34:13.600 --> 01:34:16.239
<v Speaker 1>and kid for days and he just had to broadcast.

1749
01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:17.399
<v Speaker 1>It's wild stuff, man.

1750
01:34:17.800 --> 01:34:20.640
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, but this is I mean, this is what radio

01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:23.399
<v Speaker 10>people do, right, and it was a just a great

<v Speaker 10>It was the greatest thing in the parking lot. Yeah, yeah,

1765
01:34:51.520 --> 01:34:53.399
<v Speaker 10>I know it probably won't go all right, I got I.

1766
01:34:53.439 --> 01:34:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Got he once again? This out all right real quick? Florida.

1767
01:34:56.760 --> 01:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk timeline in Florida this time around? I

1768
01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>think people understand the the size of the threat, but yeah,

1769
01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:03.680
<v Speaker 1>timeline remains a bit elusive.

1770
01:35:04.439 --> 01:35:08.239
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, probably tropical storm force winds arriving sometime tomorrow evening

1771
01:35:08.319 --> 01:35:11.000
<v Speaker 10>tomorrow night, and then as we go through tomorrow night,

1772
01:35:11.119 --> 01:35:14.399
<v Speaker 10>hurricane force winds and early the morning hours on Thursday,

1773
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:18.479
<v Speaker 10>probably the center crossing the west coast early morning or

1774
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:21.159
<v Speaker 10>sometime late Wednesday night. So it depends on where exactly

1775
01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:24.279
<v Speaker 10>it goes and how much quicker it gets. So the

1776
01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:26.680
<v Speaker 10>latest track is just south on the south end of

1777
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:30.319
<v Speaker 10>Tampa Bay, between Tampa Bay and Sarasota, so there may

1778
01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:33.520
<v Speaker 10>be some fluctuations in that. So that's the timing on

1779
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:36.720
<v Speaker 10>when the worst will be and then across central Florida

1780
01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:39.920
<v Speaker 10>during the day on Thursday before moving out over on

1781
01:35:40.039 --> 01:35:42.359
<v Speaker 10>to the western Atlantic as we go through the afternoon

1782
01:35:42.399 --> 01:35:45.079
<v Speaker 10>evening I was on Thursday, and then it goes away.

1783
01:35:45.199 --> 01:35:48.560
<v Speaker 10>But you know, a massive storm, not as big in

1784
01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:53.079
<v Speaker 10>terms of diameter as Colleen was, but still record impacts

1785
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:57.119
<v Speaker 10>water indubation records in Tampa Bay on its current forecast track.

1786
01:35:57.760 --> 01:36:00.279
<v Speaker 10>But either way, we focus on Tampa because it's the

1787
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:03.399
<v Speaker 10>easiest and the most vulnerable. But if the track is

1788
01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:06.000
<v Speaker 10>further south of Tampa Bay, less surge, but still somebody

1789
01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:07.840
<v Speaker 10>is going to get it and get it good with

1790
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:10.399
<v Speaker 10>one hundred and ten mile power wins and all that.

1791
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:13.119
<v Speaker 10>So it looks like the worst later tomorrow, tomorronight and early.

1792
01:36:13.039 --> 01:36:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Thirstyeah, and really stagnant for us here ye too. Yeah,

1793
01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:19.399
<v Speaker 1>it is cop quiet. Yeah, sorry, man, just up against

1794
01:36:19.439 --> 01:36:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the clock here, but it's my own doing. So we'll

1795
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>talk to you tomorrow the problem and we'll come back

1796
01:36:23.239 --> 01:36:24.039
<v Speaker 1>with Jeff Bellinger.

1797
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:24.800
<v Speaker 7>Casey.

1798
01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:29.359
<v Speaker 13>Investors were certainly not in a buying mood yesterday. Monday's

1799
01:36:29.439 --> 01:36:32.399
<v Speaker 13>losses for the major averages range from nine ten percent

1800
01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.239
<v Speaker 13>to one point two percent. But right now the futures

1801
01:36:35.239 --> 01:36:38.279
<v Speaker 13>are pointing a bit higher now futures or up fifty

1802
01:36:38.359 --> 01:36:42.439
<v Speaker 13>seven points. PepsiCo shares losing ground pre market. The soft

1803
01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:46.159
<v Speaker 13>drink and stack food maker posted slightly better than expected

1804
01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:49.560
<v Speaker 13>per share earnings for the third quarter, but revenue fell short.

1805
01:36:49.880 --> 01:36:54.119
<v Speaker 13>PepsiCo lowered its growth forecast for the year. Overall, consumer

1806
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:57.520
<v Speaker 13>borrowing grew much more slowly in August than it did

1807
01:36:57.600 --> 01:37:00.479
<v Speaker 13>in July. The Federal Reserve says that was new to

1808
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:03.960
<v Speaker 13>the biggest declining in credit card balances in nearly three

1809
01:37:04.039 --> 01:37:06.720
<v Speaker 13>and a half years. Small business owner's views on the

1810
01:37:06.800 --> 01:37:09.439
<v Speaker 13>economy have not changed very much over the last month,

1811
01:37:09.680 --> 01:37:13.359
<v Speaker 13>and optimism index from the National Federation of Independent Business

1812
01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:16.239
<v Speaker 13>ticked up three tenths of a point last month from

1813
01:37:16.279 --> 01:37:19.960
<v Speaker 13>its August level. The uncertainty component hit a record high

1814
01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:24.159
<v Speaker 13>in September, firms dialed back their capital spending plans, indicating

1815
01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:27.800
<v Speaker 13>operators are putting some things on hold until after the

1816
01:37:28.079 --> 01:37:33.279
<v Speaker 13>presidential election. Another milestone for Taylor's Swift Variety says she

1817
01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:37.479
<v Speaker 13>is now the world's richest female musician, worth an estimated

1818
01:37:37.560 --> 01:37:41.600
<v Speaker 13>one point six billion dollars and Casey. Takeout is popular,

1819
01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:44.800
<v Speaker 13>but a majority of consumers prefer to have their restaurant

1820
01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:47.600
<v Speaker 13>meals in the restaurant, according to a new survey of

1821
01:37:47.680 --> 01:37:51.359
<v Speaker 13>diners by US Foods. Among the other findings, the average

1822
01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:54.159
<v Speaker 13>amount spent at restaurants each month is up to one

1823
01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:57.880
<v Speaker 13>hundred ninety one dollars. Women now spend more than men

1824
01:37:57.960 --> 01:38:00.560
<v Speaker 13>at restaurants. That was the other way around last year.

1825
01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:03.960
<v Speaker 13>Casual dining is the most popular choice one dining out,

1826
01:38:04.239 --> 01:38:08.439
<v Speaker 13>and most diners dislike QR code menus Casey.

1827

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, screw those things. Are you You're not as

01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:43.800
<v Speaker 1>things that people start wanting
