A lot 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.920 of ground we covered with President Trump yesterday. You'll see 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.480 a funny segment tonight where you know some people said, Hannity, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.360 you interrupted the President. You wanted to talk about the economy. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.640 You've got to understand when you go, when you get 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.400 time in the Oval Office. Your time is limited and 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.560 you just try and get as many topics in as 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.840 you can. You have a lot to get to. And no, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.280 I was not being interrupted with the President. He was 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.559 laughing about it. At one point. What you'll see tonight 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.960 is h I said, they're telling me it's over. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:01:59.800 Do I have to leave? 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.520 It was a pretty funny moment because there is so 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.400 much going on and there's so much to get to. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:06.920 I mean, look at what we just went through in 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.200 the last hour for crying out loud. A lot of 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.440 legal issues came up. One the Biden administration's handling of 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.720 you know, the border and how we find these illegals. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.320 That was one issue we brought up. Donald Trump saying 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.160 he might consider pulling federal funding for sanctuary states and cities. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.760 Here's what he said, what do you do. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.919 Sanctuary states by definition or sanctuary cities. They're aiding and 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.200 a betting in the law breaking. Okay, they're going to 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.120 get federal funds. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:39.680 We're trying to get rid of them. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.920 We're trying to end them in a lot of other 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.760 people in those communities don't want them. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.360 You know, California is a big examle off their money. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.400 I might have to do that. Sometimes that's the only 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:48.959 thing you can do. 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.440 Now, when you think about it, they are aiding and 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.360 a betting in the law breaking. Another legal issue came up, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.519 and that is we now have a new Republican January 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.160 sixth committee. And Donald Trump preferred to this and we'll 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.079 talk to David Shoan and Greg Jarrett in just a 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.519 moment about how they should proceed and move forward. But 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.720 you know, the committee deleting all the information and so 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.840 much information was withheld from the public purposely, I believe 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.400 because they wanted to impact the election. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.640 But here's what he had to say about it about the. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.799 J six committee. I say, I got the unselect. You know, 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.440 there's a solid win. No, no, no, what they did 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.359 was criminal. That's why they got pardoned. Though they deleted 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.840 and destroyed all of the information that they colliled or 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.720 they need to pardon. And you know why, because it 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.360 proved I was right. All of that information was deleted 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.360 and destroyed. They deleted all of the information having to 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.680 do with the ten thousand soldiers that I offered to 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.600 Nancy Pelosi, and she's now a tay by admitting it. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.280 And then the president and the President's right about that. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.960 By the way, why did they delete it? Why did 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.560 they need the pardon? And we'll get into that in 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.120 some specificity in a second. But then the President and 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240 said about Joe Biden himself, he didn't give himself a pardon. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.080 And I talked to Jim Jordan and James Comer the 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.040 night before and everybody in the Biden family. They got 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.840 a pardon. They no longer have Fifth Amendment rights. They 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.440 will be called before the House Oversight Committee in the 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.960 House Judiciary Committee, and they will have to testify, and 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.280 Hunter will have to explain about all the implications he 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.800 makes about his father receiving massive amounts of money on 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.960 top of Joe telling the big lie that he never 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.200 talked to his son, his brother, or anybody for that 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.360 matter about their foreign business dealings. And here's what President 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:39.480 Trump had to say about that. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.440 Joe Biden ran and said he would never do preemptive pardons. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.039 It was an issue that came up when you were 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:45.880 leaving in your persol. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.120 He thought he heard that I was going to do 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.760 I didn't want to do it. I was given the option. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.640 They said, sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself? 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:56.839 I said, I'm not going to pardon anybody. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:58.640 We didn't do anything. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.800 Wrong, and we had people that suffered, their incredible patriots. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.920 We had people that suffered. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.000 You had Bannon put in jail, you had Peter Navarro 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.960 put in jail. You had people that suffered, and far 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.919 worse than that. They've lost their fortunes, they've lost their whatever, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.799 their nest egg, paying it to lawyers and those people. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.279 And people said to you, and they don't even They 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.479 wouldn't have even taken most of those people. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.480 They wouldn't have even taken a part. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.520 This guy went around giving everybody pardons, and you know 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.840 the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he didn't 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.080 give himself a part, and if you look at it, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.520 it all had to do with him. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.800 And I just want to play one last thing. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.800 Then the President suggests that the Attorney General should investigate 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.840 the preemptive pardons because of four years of hell that 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.680 he went through. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.320 He pardoned everybody, but he didn't pardon himself. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.200 And remember this, those people that he pardoned are now 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.599 mandated because they got a pardon to testify and they 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:05.440 can't take the fills. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.160 Should Congress investigate that? I think we'll let Congress decide 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.360 would you want the attorney general to investigate him? You know, 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.279 I was always against that. With presidents and Hillary Clinton. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.560 I could have had Hillary Clinton a big number done 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.200 on heavy change him, but I didn't want to. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.680 Well, I went through four years of hell by this 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.400 scum that we had to deal with. I went through 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.640 four years of hell. I spent millions of dollars in 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.640 legal fees, and I won. But I did it the 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.960 hard way. It's really hard to say. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.800 That they shouldn't have to go through it all. So 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.159 it is very hard to say that. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.240 Here to go through this and a lot more. 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.359 Greg Jarrett, Fox News Legal Analysts, best selling author, David Shoon, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.320 civil rights attorney. Welcome both of you guys to the program. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:01.160 I talked to comer Greg Jarrett, I talked to Jim Jordan, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.800 and they have every intention, it seems, to bring those 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.880 that received a pardon in the Biden family before Congress. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.840 They won't have the ability to plead the fifth any 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.520 longer having been pardon preemptively. And then we have all 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.160 the evidence in the laptop. You know, half the income 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.160 goes to Pops, paying Pops' his home repairs and everything 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.360 in between. And then in spite of Joe's you know, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.520 claim that he never met with any of these business 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.440 partners or talked to his son or his brother or 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.960 anybody for that matter, Well, in spite of all that, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.400 it turns out he did, and we have the pictures 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.080 to prove it, one just recently released after the election 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.440 from the National Archives. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:39.000 Yeah. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.440 I mean, I think Joe Biden, when he issues a 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.920 pardon to his family members, including his son, to brothers, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:52.960 their spouses, this was an open admission to me that 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.520 he knows this was a crime family and that they 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:03.720 committed a variety of crimes, fair of violations, Foreign lobbying crimes, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:09.840 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, bribery, conspiracy, money laundering, the list 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.160 goes on and on, and I think he had to 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.440 weigh what is the likelihood that these people I'm pardoning 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:23.120 could be charged with those crimes versus giving them a pardon, 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.600 depriving them of their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.240 and running the risk that when they're confronted under oath, 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.959 that they'll lie in the face of incriminating evidence and 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.520 then be charged with that. The pardon doesn't excuse them 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.599 from that sort of future. Perjury, criminal charge, and so 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.360 I think he decided, you know, I'm better, there's so 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:55.040 much evidence of the criminal conspiracy and corruption that I 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.240 better pardon him now. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:56.719 For all of that. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.280 And he, you know, he did in such a cowardly way, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:08.080 literally minutes before Trump is sworn in. And my real question, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.079 in other words, so he didn't have to answer for 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.720 it because he's now out of office, he'll never talk 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:20.160 about it. My question is, did he also secretly pardon himself. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:25.160 Is there a document in his possession which he has 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.880 not disclosed, which he does not have to disclose until 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.599 the right time, until he needs it pardoning himself? 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:35.559 That's my why? 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.120 Why wouldn't he have to disclose That's that is something 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:40.520 that I've heard nobody talk about. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.240 There is no obligation under the law for him to 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.240 disclose it to anybody. You only disclose it when you 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.400 assert it, and he would only assert it if he 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:59.760 is criminally charged. So you know, that's my question. And 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.240 you know, given the sleezy nature of issuing the family 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:10.760 pardons just before he leaves office, literally minutes before you know, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:16.000 he may have taken it even sleazier move by pardoning himself. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.920 Secretly well that did. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.640 That came out of left field. I wasn't expecting that one. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.040 I would assume you would have had to announce it 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.360 or disclose it. But time will tell whether you might 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.520 be your theory might be dead on accurate. Let's get 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.480 your take if this, I believe the family will be 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:38.920 called before the Oversight and Judiciary Committee's David Shoon, and 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.800 I don't think it's going to be a pretty picture 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.520 that's painted about Joe Biden or any of the family members. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.000 And they made a fortune. I think James Comer's reporting 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.080 has been pretty accurate. 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.199 Yeah, I think it was a huge I think it 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.120 was a huge mistake for the very reason you suggested. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.679 And remember this, The first impeachment proceeding was simply because 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.120 President Trump demanded an investigation, not a prosecution, but an 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.480 investigation into the Biden family's dealings in the Ukraine and 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.160 so on. They have now guaranteed that and guaranteed that 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.760 they cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.240 Right, Yeah, it's going to be interesting, all right, quick break, 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.880 wellcome back more on the other side with David Shoon 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.480 and Greg Jarrett will get to your calls as well. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.560 Eight one hundred and nine four one, Shawn, our number 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.000 will update you in the situation post Hurricane Holeen. The 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.559 people in North Carolina still suffering as we continue. We 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.160 continue now our legal analysis with Greg Jarrett and David Schong. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.240 Now on the j six, the Republicans now formed a 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.280 new committee. All those materials mysteriously disappeared. But here are 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.760 some facts that nobody ever wanted to talk about in 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.240 the state run legacy media mob and David, I'll throw 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.760 it to you first. I have four of five people, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.679 and General Milly in writing confirmed it as well that 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.079 the five people were in the meeting. General Millie, chairman 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.600 of the Joint Chiefs, the acting Defense Secretar Terry Miller, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.400 his chief of staff, Cash Patelo's now up to be 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.199 FBI Director Mark Meadows, donald Trump's chief of staff, and 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.319 Donald Trump himself. Four of the five I have on 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.600 tape all acknowledging, and Milly acknowledged as well that Donald 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:18.280 Trump authorized up to ten thousand troops. That hardly fits 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.320 in with the narrative that Donald Trump wanted an insurrection 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.080 that day and was leading an insurrection at that point. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.599 Then all authority then moves to the Mayor of d C. 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:35.200 That's Muriel Bowser. She denied in writing calling up the troops. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.200 She didn't want them. She was also we learned being 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.719 begged by the Capitol police chief Chief Sunned based on 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.880 actionable intelligence that he was begging for the guard to 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.480 be called up. Everybody ignored him. And then nobody seemed 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.000 to care about the role of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.800 they were responsible for security. Nobody asks for their phones, 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.400 their text messages, Nancy Pelosi's on tape, you know, that 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.199 day with her daughter doing a documentary saying this is 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.800 my fault. Nobody brought in the Sergeant of Arms or 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.720 any of these other people, and the committee never played 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.240 many of you will peacefully, patriotically go to the Capitol 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.199 so your voices will be heard. And one other thing, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.200 this whole big lie that Donald Trump tried to commandeer 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.240 the vehicle he was being driven in that day, Well 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.160 that was negated by the actual driver. But instead of 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.400 using the driver whose testimony they had, they used to 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.560 hearsay witness. Now that sounds to me like they wanted 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.559 to push a narrative. They had a predetermined outcome. And 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.199 I mean, is there a crime associated potentially with that? 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.000 David potentially this goes back to the entire violation of 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.800 protocol when McCarthy selected Jim Jordan and others to be 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.079 on the committee and Pelosi rejected it. That's that's the 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.000 reason we know now, I mean we then Jim Jordan 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.520 asked for an investigation all of the things that you've 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.439 just discussed, and the committee refused to do it, and 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.640 they refused to seat them. That January sixth committee was 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.960 a sham from start to finish, one of the greatest 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.839 dis services to the American public ever, from the picking 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.800 of Bennie Thompson as its chairman after Thompson sued President 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.480 Trump personally saying he'd been injured by January sixth and 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.200 that it was Trump who was at fault completely when 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.680 he was supposed to be heading up an investigation into 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.600 those events. So unfortunately for them, now this stuff is 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.880 going to be exposed, the stuff that Jim Jordan and 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.960 Banks wanted to go into at the time, And the 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.400 question is will the media really cover it like they 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.960 did then? But it was a sham because it was 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.720 such a skewed, politically driven so called investigation, whether an 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.000 investigation at all. Members were announcing their findings while it 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.720 was supposed to be in progress, and now we know 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.000 about files being deleted and that sort of thing. It's 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.760 a terrible thing that happened, and it's very interesting. There'll 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.280 be a full investigation now of all of those other helps. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.440 How will this end, Greg, Jerry, you get the last word? 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.840 Well, yesterday the House created this new select subcommittee to 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.120 investigate not just the intelligence, security, and leadership failures on 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:18.440 January sixth, but the false narratives of the JA six committee, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.520 chaired by Benny Thompson, driven by Liz Chenney. They of 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:28.600 course were pardoned by Biden, which suggests they are criminally culpable. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.720 But you know, did they deliberately hide exculpatory evidence, did 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:38.960 they tamper with witnesses or otherwise obstruct Those are crimes, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.400 and because of the pardons, they have no Fifth Amendment 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.320 privilege to remain silent. And as you point out, Sean, 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.560 is Nancy Pelosi to blame for intentionally stopping National Guard 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.040 troops who could have easily controlled the situation that day. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.560 There's compelling evidence that she did. You know, Americans deserve 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.200 the full truth, not this partisan Hollywood produced whitewash that 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.400 was so one sided that it rendered the J six 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.400 Committee into a running joke. And I think at the 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.920 same time, the incoming Department of Justice under Pam Bondi 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.600 needs to take a very close look at whether Merrick 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.680 Garland and his gang of mythfits at the DOJ abused 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.200 the law in overcharging people who were at the Capitol 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:34.920 and selectively prosecuting them. All of that needs to be investigated, all. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.640 Right, Greg, Jared David Cholm, thank you both. Eight hundred 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.080 and ninety four one Seawn. If you want to be 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.720 a part of the program, we're going to update you 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.600 on the situation on the ground in North Carolina, all 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.400 these people that have been abandoned and the President's comments 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.240 about FEMA last night. To me, President Trump, it will 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.560 be visiting North Carolina and California, and he'll also make 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.840 a stop in Nevada, but he's going to North Carolina 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.640 to assess the loss and frankly, the failure of FEMA 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.880 and what has been nothing but a total lack of empathy. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.159 We have discussed this in great specificity, in detail, and 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.880 if it wasn't for groups like Operation Heilo and Samaritans, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.080 Purse and Neighbor helping neighbor. I mean, these people would 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.480 have been just out of luck completely by the time 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.920 FEMA even showed up and got on the ground there. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.680 Here's what President Trump said. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.359 FEMA is a whole nother discussion because all it does 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.040 is complicate everything. FEMA has not done their job for 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.760 the last four years. You know, I had FEMA working 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.879 really well. We had hurricanes in Florida, we had Alabama 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.120 tornado as well. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.040 But unless you have certain types of leadership, it's really 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:43.520 it gets in the way. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.120 And FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.399 very shortly because I'd rather see the states take care 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.480 of their own problems if they have a tornado someplace, 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.080 and if they let that state. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.520 Oklahoma is very competent. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.399 I love Oklahoma, but you know what, if they get 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.440 hit with the tornado or something, let Oklahoma fix it. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.880 You don't need and then the federal government can help 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:04.359 them out. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:04.800 With the money. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.760 The FEMA is getting in the way of everything, and 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.520 the Democrats actually use FEMA not to help North Carolina. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.679 And the President's right, what does the government run effectively? 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.520 Why not just give the money, Let local people, local churches, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:25.520 local organizations, groups like you know the Samaritans Purse Operation 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.199 Helo that are doing great work. Why not give them 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.160 the money directly? Why not give people the money directly? Anyway, 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.520 one Western North Carolina resident talking about being moved into 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.679 a long term, fully furnished apartment. Thankfully, but this has 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.080 not been everybody listen. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.399 And I found out that I was actually going to 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.199 be able to get an apartment, I was, I mean, 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.760 I was just like relieved, and it didn't really hit 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.800 in until I walked in here and saw a kitchen 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.040 table in a bed, and I was like, oh my god. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:55.479 You guys got me cups. 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.320 I mean, had like just enough to where I could 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.520 bring in my own things. And then I started crying 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:12.680 when I saw the bed because it's just like it's 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.080 just very it's just very comforting. I'm like, oh, I 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:17.600 get to stay here for a little while. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:18.560 So that was nice. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:19.560 Yeah, I'm okay. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.600 Anyway, here with an update on what is really going 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.359 on on the ground. Eric Robinson, co founder Operation Heilo, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.560 to discuss what's going on. Well, I did tell you 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.320 that help was coming. I had spoken to the president 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.520 at length about North Carolina is very acutely aware of 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.240 what's going on. There and the failure, and he was 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.240 the one that got Elon Musk to put Starling in 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.639 so people could even have access to communications. But that 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.280 doesn't keep you warm when the federal government just abandons you. 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.080 Yeah, Sean, I appreciate you having me back along. And 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.160 I'll tell you we obviously have learned a lot throughout 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:59.399 this process and the failures of FEMA. I mean, it 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.800 starts very very early on. And I'll tell you the 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.080 process just for your listeners so they can understand and 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.040 what happened. What happens here in North Carolina is FEMA 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.159 requests have to be made from the county level. They 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.119 are made to the state. The state then asks the 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.879 Feds FEMA for that assistance. Then it has to come 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.040 back down. So meanwhile, one hundred and seventeen days later, 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.760 people are still waiting on to aid. So I think 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.600 it's best highlighted in the fact that in a local 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:35.240 FEMA office here in western North Carolina, our Operation HELO 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.600 phone number is on the wall and they are sending 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.440 FEMA is sending people to us for temporary housing and 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:48.679 for long term solutions. So and meanwhile, from a business standpoint, 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.719 the hotels, especially the mom and pops. The bigger chains, 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.840 they can absorb the cost, but the smaller family owned 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.320 hotels who have been part of the solution, and from 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.960 day one. I'm thinking of one in particular in Newland, 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.959 North Carolina. They've been part of the solution from day one. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.440 They've had SEMA residents in there in their twenty bedroom hotel. 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.439 They've had at least fourteen families there from day one. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.560 They haven't been paid from December eighth. They're supposed to 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:19.160 be paid weekly by Steema. They haven't been paid since 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.480 December eighth, So what does that do. That's caused them 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.879 to have to start laying people off, which is the 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.280 absolute worst thing that can happen right now in this 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.320 situation is for people that have been through Helene, lost 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.480 everything and now they're losing jobs because FEMA's not paying 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.280 their bills. It's ridiculous at this point. 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:43.480 If you would make a list of everything that you've 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.399 seen on the ground, and I'll get Franklin Graham, who 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.680 I saw recently and talked to and spoke to about 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:54.440 this recently. He was a little more defensive of FEMA 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.760 than you are, only because I think he wants to 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.159 encourage them to do more, and he's a little bit 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.440 more gracious than maybe you and I will ever dream 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.440 of being in life. But he did point out that 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.040 the need is great, and it's still great. But if 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:14.760 I have comprehensive lists of what is actually needed, I 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:17.440 do have the ability to pass that on and I 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.560 will pass that on for the people in North Carolina. 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:20.439 Can you do that for us? 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:24.879 Absolutely, we can provide that with you. We can provide 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.879 that for sure. And just to kind of piggyback off 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.240 of what Franklin Graham said, yes, absolutely, I personally think 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:36.840 that FEMA on the local level is doing everything they can. 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:38.720 I think it's the higher up and that's I think 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.840 that's the optimism right now is we are hoping that 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:42.520 it changes. 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.400
