WEBVTT - Everything is Trump's Fault 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:15.680 M you are entering the freedom hunt. Hurricane Florence barrels 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:19.360 toward the Carolinas. Will talk about what the expectations are 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.360 for that storm and how it's already being politicized. Also, 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.440 Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris are lying about Judge Kavanaugh. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.920 They're lying in such blatant fashion even their own side 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:32.800 has had to call it out. We'll discuss what the 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:37.400 political calculation is. And also Norm McDonald banished. We'll talk 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.640 about why and how he got caught up in a 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:44.640 meet you moment coming up, This is the buck Sexton Show, 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.760 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:55.560 matters with actionable intelligence. Magnormastake, You're a great American Again. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:02.640 The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst by the NMVD. No. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.240 We believe that there could be well over a hundred 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.679 thousand people displaced, meaning they've left their homes and can't return. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.920 Put that in perspective, there were about forty four thousand 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.000 in Houston and the Gulf of Texas uh in the 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.640 storm that they had, So this is two or three 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:26.680 times bigger than that. The federal and state response and 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.600 preparation to this point has far exceeded anything I've seen 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:35.479 in my previous twenty five years. Um FEMA's prepositioning of equipment, 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.600 their coordination with the states, the early decisions by governors 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.959 and the actions by the President to sign the emergency declarations, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:48.240 the prepositioning of water and food generators, the prepositioning of 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.559 power trucks to take care of the power losses. I've 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.760 never seen as well a coordinated efforts that's being put 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.280 on right now. Welcome to Bucks Saxton Show. Folks, I 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.280 really like that we're getting on the record here from 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.360 federal officials. You know how much preparation is going into this, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.880 Because one, I want to know that our fellow Americans 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.760 and the Carolinas that are affected are getting as much 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:15.880 assistance and attention and and and help us possible. That's 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.480 the most important thing far in a way, Also though, 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.079 as a secondary consideration here, it's good for us all 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.720 to get a chance to u to hear from folks 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.560 who are just being honest about what's going on, because 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:34.720 you can tell the media's positioning themselves to pounce on 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.560 Trump for this, and no matter what happens, no matter 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.840 what Trump and the an FEMA and federal and state 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.240 agencies try to do here to limit the damage and 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.520 protect life with this massive storm at category three I 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.840 believe right now still very high winds about to hit 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.240 the US mainland. They're gonna try to make political hand this. 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.000 They're gonna try to turn this into a yet another 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.280 opportunity to bash President Trump. That is, that is a 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.239 goal here, that is what they're looking for. And that's 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.280 why you can see that some of the questions they're asking, 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.480 they're they're preparing this narrative before it even happens. You 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.839 had a guy from what Spectrum News producer Mike, who 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.760 was asking a FEMA representative about funds being directed, and 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.359 they're trying to they're trying to say, you know, Trump 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.280 essentially isn't doing They're trying to find some basis to 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.560 say Trump isn't doing enough here. Trump doesn't care about 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.239 people that are getting hit by hurricane I just Trump 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.560 doesn't care about anything. That's the media things, just himself. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.120 That's the storyline they want to run with no matter what. Well, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.640 here's how it actually went. When they talk to a 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.440 FEMA representative a out a play five. We're learning this 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.480 morning that Senator Jeff Markley obtained memos showing the Trump 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.960 administration taking nearly ten million from FEMA, which deals with 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.160 hurricane relief, and giving the money to ICE for more 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.680 detention centers. What can you tell us about this? Is 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.440 that funding? This that funding? Would that funding have been 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.839 used for hurricane relief? Yes, ma'am, what I can tell 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.640 you is we have plenty of resources, both monetary, staff 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.200 and commodities to respond to the dangerous storm that is 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.000 Hurricane Florence. We again ask those residents there in the 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.640 impacted zones to heed the warnings. Now, uh, disitional information 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.640 can be provided, but right now we want to focus 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.960 on what are those impacts from Florence and what can 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.320 our citizens do today which is the last good day 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.080 to evacuate. And we really want to push that message specifically, 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.919 shed any light on this funding that Senator Markley is 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200 Markly is calling attention to. Yes, ma'am, what I continued, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.839 we have plenty of resources to respond. We have plenty 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:42.159 of resources to recover. That has not impacted our situation whatsoever. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.760 Plenty of resources, he says, Stop trying to find a story, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.679 Stop trying to create a story of insufficient resources because 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.360 you want to make it sound like Trump doesn't care, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.520 isn't doing enough, or isn't doing a good job. Just 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.799 stop right, that's that's not happening. It's not what's happening. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.760 You're supposed to report the who's not make it up 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.080 as you go along, and not try to force a 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.320 narrative that's not there. But as you know, folks, the 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.680 left sea storms as an opportunity, SE's major natural disasters, 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.120 weather events like this as an opportunity to slam the 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:20.240 political opposition, and they can't accept that. You know, sometimes 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.159 just really bad things happen that no one can completely 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.000 or fully or adequately prepare for. There's going to be damaged. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.640 They'll even sometimes be loss of light. That is just 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.400 the way things are, you know, they don't they don't 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.240 have any sense of that, right, it's always, oh my gosh, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.400 Trump didn't Trump didn't do this, or Trump won't do that. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.240 And they're trying to also tie this into uh, what 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.560 happened in Puerto Rico already to create you see how 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.280 they're trying to formulate this narrative. Because here's what President 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.000 Trump said about Puerto Rico just yesterday. Playclip one. I 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.640 think Puerto Rico was incredibly success from Puerto Rico was 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.360 actually our toughest one of all because it's an island, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.880 so you just you can't truck things onto and everything 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.280 by boat. We moved to hospital into Puerto Rico, a 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.479 commendous military hospital in the form of a ship. You 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.720 know that Puerto Rico got hit not with one hurricane 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.920 but with two. And the problem with Puerto Rico is 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.880 their electric grid and their electric generating plan was dead 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.479 before the storm's ever hit. The job that TEMA and 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.359 law enforcement and everybody did, working along with the governor 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.440 in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous. I think the 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:42.280 Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success. Now they're jumping 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.600 all over him for this, right. They are the media 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.000 there in a meltdown over there. They even got the 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.960 all the mayor of San Juan to come out to 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.840 trash drump plate too. Well. I think the person of 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.599 statement is despicable. It just goes to the lack of 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.160 understanding of reality that he has. If he thinks that 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.080 the dead of three thousand people is the best, he 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.039 really doesn't know what this was all about. This was 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.280 never about politics. He's talking about on plaise Well, you know, 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:19.240 nobody's singing his places, folks. I can't always tell with 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.720 the Left whether we're dealing with an idiot or a liar, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.840 but all too often these days it's one, if not 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.119 both of those things. When President Trump says that Puerto 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.040 Rico is an incredible, unsung success, he's not saying the 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.160 storm was a success. He's not saying, look at how 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.160 great everything is in Puerto Rico. What he's trying to 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.480 convey to the American people is that the federal response, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:50.560 under the circumstances, dealing with the limitations of reality, was 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.040 very very effective. I mean, this to me would be 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.440 like saying, well, how dare anybody say that the UH 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.120 that that nine eleven, that the cleanup effort there was 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.480 you know, a really really really really successful. You know, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.720 the cleanup effort didn't save any lives. You know that 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.920 the clean up effort didn't stop the towers from coming down. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.840 Well no, but it's a terrible situation, and we we 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.720 got we got attacked, a sneak attack by Jihada psychopaths 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:20.520 skill three thousand Americans. But the response to that, afterwards, 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.560 you can still say that the response to UH to 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.320 deal with the debris to clean up the site to 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.640 you know, was was well done by the federal government. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.720 You know, the these are these are kind of two 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.040 separate things that you can refer to. With Puerto Rico, 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.600 he's not saying the hurricane was an unsung success. He's 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.280 saying the response to it, under the circumstances, which were 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:48.360 incredibly difficult, was a very good response. It doesn't mean 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.160 it's perfect, it doesn't mean it's not terribly sad that 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.960 thousands of people died. He's just saying, we we did, 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.520 under the circumstances, the best that could be done. And 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.480 the left, of course, you know, they deny this. They 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.240 shout him down for this, and they want us that 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.800 he's an unfeeling brute and evil and in all the 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.360 rest of him because folks, you know, we talked about 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.959 everything is political now, even whether is very political to 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.080 the left. Not just climate change. They're gonna do that 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.280 with this too, but response to natural disasters is an 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.520 opportunity to score gee political points. Well, we'll get more 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.720 into this and the media meltdown over it in a moment. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.080 We've also got Joe Bus started joining to talk about 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.160 uh some you know, his expert opinion on what we 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.040 should expect here. So that and much more coming up, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.439 stay with me. The president's record on hurricane response uneven 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.280 at best. A deadly hurricane in Puerto Rico almost exactly 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.640 one year ago revealed that even natural disasters are processed 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.400 by this president as political undertaking. If we've been talking 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.559 about how the President today called the hurricane response in 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.960 Puerto Rico one of the best jobs that's ever been done, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.320 pointing to last year's response to Puerto Rico's hurricane as 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:59.640 quote an incredible unsung success, as an incredible unsung success, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.880 he's still saying it was an incredible unsung success. Stories. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.720 So how out of touch as President Trump, far more 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.520 so than President Bush. If he thinks that's an unparalleled success. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.400 God only knows what he would think of father would be. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.120 You know, if the President thinks that his response in 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.920 the federal government's response to Puerto Rico was an incredible success, 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.760 and quite honestly, we're all in trouble. The statements by 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.160 the President, let's be clear, are delusional and sensitive and outrageous. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.640 The only one who was lazy was you, Mr President. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.240 You were lazy and you weren't on duty. And people 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:39.120 died because of it. Blaming Trump for the dead in 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:43.800 Puerto Rico. I'm doing so, by the way, while saying that, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.599 you know, Trump is the one who politicizes hurricanes and 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:52.440 hurricane believe. Isn't it astonishing? This is a reminder really 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.440 of one of Obama's favorite tactics, which was Obama always 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.480 took the position that the other side was political. He 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.880 was just righteous and wise. You know, they have they've 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.360 got politics. I've got solutions, the answers they do politics. 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.280 I don't do that. You know, Obama always had that approach, 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.640 and it's it's really dishonest and obviously demeaning to the 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:17.640 other side. Um, but you know, they go even beyond so. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.959 So there's a couple of layers here of how unfair 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.920 they are to Trump on this whole issue. It's not 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.880 just that they say that. And look, I would have 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.480 used different language than Trump to describe what happened in 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:35.559 Puerto Rico and in his efforts to try and get 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.240 Puerto Rico the aid that it needed. But you know, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.160 there's also this level of saying that Trump is the 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.280 reason people died. I mean, that's just despicable. It's despicable 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.720 to make that claim because there's no evidence for it. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:54.880 It's obviously a disgraceful thing to say. And they keep saying. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.120 In fact, Joe Crowley, who's the member of Congress, the 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.120 kind of long time I'm big time Democrat from New 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.720 York who lost to Alexandra Occasio Cortes. Uh he he 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.080 just explicitly says, you know, basically, Trump killed people play 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.000 a teen. We failed our fellow citizens and fellow Americans 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:18.520 in Puerto Rico. President Trump ignored the entire island, leaving people, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.360 quite frankly, to die. Um, this Republican the Congress failed 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.360 to allocate the necessary funds to help rebuild and repair 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:31.000 the island, and I believe this was preventable. Now, you know, folks, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.160 I don't want to get too deep into this because 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.640 I'd have to really dig into the numbers, but they're 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.199 they're all Only sixty people were lost from the actual 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.559 storm as it happened, So it was a very small 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.160 number relatively speaking. You know, every life is precious and 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.440 every death is a tragedy in the situation, I understand, 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.320 but a very small number, relatively speaking, were killed from 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.800 the storm. It was the aftermath of the storm. We 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.240 had this number now three thousand people, which of course 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.800 is very similar to the very close to the number 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.840 of those who were killed on the day of nine oleven, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.200 not over a period of many, many months. But when 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.240 you look at also how this is being UH tabulated, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.480 what they're doing is they're saying, well, the condition of 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.840 the island was so deteriorated that the mortality rate when 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.360 you took out the when when you when you you know, 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.400 excluded the people that had left the island, the mortality 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.320 rate of those who stayed behind was so significantly hired 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.120 at three thousand people died. But you know a lot 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.600 of these cases people are that they're talking about, they 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.959 died from, you know, diabetes, They died from a lack 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:40.120 of of treatment for h retreatable diseases. I mean, and 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.440 I just think it's I think it's a very strange 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:48.000 thing to claim the President Trump is responsible for those debts. UM. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.120 I spoke to the delegate from from Puerto Rico about this. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.840 I spoke to the UH the one person who represents 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:00.280 Puerto Rican Congress, and she said, flatly, the federal government 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.840 sent a lot of resources. The federal government was trying 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.800 to help us. It was a really really bad situation. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.720 The storm was way worse than anything we had prepared for. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.559 That that's Trump's fault, now, you know, the folks. The 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.120 thing you have to remember is that liberals see all 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.760 of these different political stories in terms of cycles, right. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.360 They see it as what worked before. That's why they 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.400 get so excited about Woodward and Bernstein and Watergate and 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.840 Trump and impeachment. They think they can bring that whole 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:35.280 thing back. And they also view a real tipping point 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:40.240 in the Bush administration as the as the Katrina moment 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.240 that Bush had, and they think that they can replicate 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.560 that with Trump and start to turn the Remember Bush 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.120 after not eleven very much United Country behind him very proper. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.200 There was really Katrina where you started to see a 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.120 big shift in public opinion on George W. Bush. And 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.280 they're hoping that the hurricane and Puerto Rico is an 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.600 opportunity to do the same thing. So it's it's very 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.240 it's very obviously political, very explicitly political from them. But 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.040 I also think that it's it's it's dishonest on the facts. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.040 There was a lot of aid and a lot of 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.640 supplies that were in the at the ports and Puerto 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.680 Rico that weren't able to make it into the interior 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.520 of the island because there were basically no bridges and 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.600 no roads and no power, and so we were sending stuff. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.720 But you know, people keep saying, oh, well, if it 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.720 was the mainland, it would be uh in the mainland, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.720 it would be such a better response. I mean, for 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.920 one thing, you look at what happened with Katrina in 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.040 New Orleans, and you know, I don't think that it's 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.480 not like, oh something, you know, you look at what 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.920 happened with Houston, even which wasn't on the same scale 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.240 as Katrina in terms of lives lost, but obviously a 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.360 tremendous amount of damage. Just because it's on the mainland 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.760 doesn't mean that the federal government steps in and makes 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.080 everything great and fix everything right away. And that's not 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.800 true either. So I think there's a lot of overstatement 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.600 of how big the the differences between what you what 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.720 you've seen on Puerto Rico on the island, and what 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.400 happened what's happened to the mainland when there's been a 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.720 major disaster response that has been needed in in the past. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.760 But it's just you know, this is bushlied babies died. Folks, 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.760 remember that the Iraq War, that was the mantra love Bush. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.240 Bush Lied babies died. And now you know with Trump, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.960 it's essentially Bush lied babies died in Puerto Rico. That's 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.560 what they That's what they're trying to get going. As 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.400 a mean, they're trying to create political advantage from this 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.920 whole thing, even though none of them could tell me 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.040 what was what was Trump supposed to do differently in 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.800 Puerto Rico? What was what was supposed to be his uh, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.960 you know, the action that he would have taken them 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.960 would have stopped people from being unable to, you know, 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.880 get the medical care they needed inside of Puerto Rico. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.400 It was he supposed to send. Even more, they couldn't 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.480 get the resources they were sending to the places they 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.360 were needed in the island because of logistics problems, because 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.600 the island was in such bad shape in the interior, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.320 because roads had been washed away, and because there was 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.159 no power, and that obviously makes the entire response a 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.280 lot more difficult. But you know, instead of using this, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.840 you know, if they were really concerned with the lives 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.639 lost and if they really wanted to make sure this 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.560 would never happen again, or that not nothing like this 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.679 would ever occur again. They would take the position that 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.919 we need to do a thorough after action report on 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.800 everything that happened here on the on the federal government's response, 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.520 and come up with solutions. But they're not going to 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.199 do that. At least that's not gonna get nearly the 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.399 same amount of attention and coverage. The primary focus here 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.480 is in fact, bashing Trump. They're just gonna find a 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.800 way to bash Trump in every way that they can. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.960 That's what they're trying to do. And it's it's gross, folks. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.480 We should we should be willing to say that. It's 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.800 really disgusting. And they're saying the President United States is 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.800 the reason that people died. In fact, he he has 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.000 blood on his hands. If you take Joe Crowley at 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.639 his word, we're gonna talk about this hurricane with an 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.720 expert in in a moment here, you know what you 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.399 should do to prepare for it and uh and what 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.359 what you should be expecting. I know we've got a 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.760 lot of team buck in the Carolina's hopefully folks. If 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.240 you are near the coast, you have heated evacuation orders. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.639 But even if you're just in the general vicinity of 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.560 the southeastern coastal US, you should probably be prepared for 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.960 the really tough weather that's coming in. So why don't 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.280 we We're gonna talk to an expert about this. Joe 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.480 Best starting. We'll be with us in just a moment here, 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:35.920 So stay there, team. Hurricane Florence is fast approaching. It's 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.040 going to be here over the next forty eight hours, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.240 and they say it's about as big as they've seen 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.959 coming to this country, and certainly to the east coast, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.639 as they've ever seen. We'll handle it. We're ready, We're able. 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.359 We've got the finest people I think anywhere in the world. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.520 FEMA and first responders are out there. They're going to 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.119 stand through the danger of this storm. Get out of 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.880 its way, don't play games with it. It's a big one, 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.080 maybe as big as they've seen, and tremendous amounts of water. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.840 The storm will come, it will go. We want everybody 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:21.399 to be safe. We're fully prepared, food, medical, everything you 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.359 can imagine. We are ready. We love you all, We 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.439 want you safe. Get out of the storm's way, be ready, 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.720 and God be with you. All right, So we've got 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.920 a big storm heading for the country. You've no doubt 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.040 seen some of the news coverage of this already. I 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.480 wanted to bring on an expert who can tell us 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.800 just what to expect and then also what some of 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.399 the narratives will be. Where does the science meet the 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.120 politics in the aftermath of all this we know that's 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:51.040 likely to happen as well. We have Joe but starting 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.119 with us now. He is the chief meteorologist of WeatherBell 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.000 dot com. Joe, great to have you back on the show. Well, 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.159 it's great to be here, Buck. I always want the on. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:05.000 So what everyone says, a lot of flooding, high wind, 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.480 big storm. What should people in the Carolinas. By the way, 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.199 we've got a whole lot of folks listening in the Carolinas. 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.520 What should they be expecting and what should they be ground? Well, uh, 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.600 in that area from Cape Lookout probably down to about Georgetown, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.879 South Carolina, but centered really from the Grand Strand up 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.960 to Wilmington's and Cape Fear. This is going to be 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.160 a siege. That's that's the word I'm using, because you're 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.440 probably gonna have hurricane force winds that they're going to 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.360 be impacting these areas for a couple of days around 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.560 Cape Fear because this storm starts with the hurricane force 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.440 winds later Tomorrow afternoon Tomorrow night, and it moves so 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:49.440 slowly that Saturday morning there may still be hurricane force 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.800 winds around Cape Fear. So the rights filled beach and 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:59.919 the constant pounding from the east, um with hurricane winds 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.080 into the UH, the crescent shaped bay on Slow Bay 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:09.640 and these areas. I I can't even describe what can 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:14.760 happen here in these coastal communities. Um again, I don't 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.000 I don't know that you're going to see winds by 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:21.600 the time the storm gets there as high as let's 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.320 say Hurricane Hazel or Hurricane you go. But the slow movement, 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.399 the tremendous amount of rain, and plus the path of 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.880 the storm, which will be UH down the coast instead 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.359 of coming up the coast, it's going back to the southwest. 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.240 It's blocked by a big upper ridge of high pressure. Well, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.480 that's going to just compound the whole situation. And this 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.760 is a set it back on Saturday. This is probably 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.480 going to be the costliest storm and the history of 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:52.240 the Carolinas, and that includes some great great storms like 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:56.399 Hugo and Hazel and Isabel and Diane, and they have 0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.760 a a storied past as far as major hurricanes go 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:04.280 in this area. And Joe, you know, for for folks 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.320 who are wondering about preparation, especially for along the coast, 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:12.560 when we're talking storm surge here, what does that really mean? 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.600 I mean, how does that manifest? How bad can that get? 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.879 How long can that last? Well, let's say you have 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.479 a ten to fifty ft surge. That's the that's the 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.399 water level, how high the water level will actually rise. 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.560 That's not the waves on top of the water level. 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.760 I mean, we've got reports of seventy ft waves with 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:37.239 this off shore, so uh and the uh you know, 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.760 even these communities like New Berne and Greenville, UH that 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.400 are north on Pamlico Sound. The combination of the heavy 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:49.200 rain coming down the river and then the constantist wind 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.240 pushing the sound back in there, all those areas get 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:58.320 flooded too. So you you know, you cannot you cannot 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.000 possibly overestimate what this could do. In other words, if 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.000 you folks are in there and you're thinking, well, you 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:06.960 know what, I'm gonna ride this out on ten fifty 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.080 ft above sea level, and I go out go out 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:12.800 power a couple of days. No, No, well, you're you're 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.840 probably going to go out power a couple of weeks. 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:17.600 You're gonna have a couple of days when the wind 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.440 is incessantly pounding away at you. So it's not like, 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:23.879 you know, if you want to compare a regular storm 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:28.560
