Speaker 1: Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show thirty

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: six days until the election. Next week will be exactly

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: five weeks out. We will also be crossing the Rubicon Bucks,

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: so to speak, where we'll be able to say next

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: month is the official election. It is here. There is

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: a lot going on. I was with Donald Trump on

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Saturday night at the Georgia Alabama football game. Met a

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners all over the place from Georgia

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: and Alabama. Heck of a scene, Buck, The stadium went

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers for Donald Trump. It's good to be out

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: in the public. I know it was Alabama, but the

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: enthusiasm that I saw everywhere for Trump surrounding this game

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: with him attending there again, Georgia is a battleground state.

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: It emphasized and emphasized for me that he is going

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: to win the state of Georgia, and all of you

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: out there listening in the state of Georgia need to

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: make sure you are going out, you were voting, and

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: you were going to make that happen. We'll talk a

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: little bit about that, the continued attacks that Israel is

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: putting on Hesbola in the Middle East, but we have

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: to start with a story that is unfortunately not receiving

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: anywhere near the attention that it should be, and that

23
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: is the absolute devastation that has occurred in East Tennessee,

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Western North Carolina, the mountainous region of South Carolina. For

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: those of you that are not familiar with that area

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: of the country, I know we have a lot of

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: you who usually listen. We may have some of you

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: listening to us on the radio, and because you don't

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: have any other battery powered radios can be so important.

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to Buck because his sister in

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: law is in the middle of all of this. I'm

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask for you eight hundred to eight to two

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: eight eight two if you are in that impacted region,

34
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: if you're in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, the mountainous

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: areas of South Carolina, where many people are still stranded,

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: where our federal government is completely failing and taking care

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: of these people. I'm gonna get Buck to tell you

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: his own family situation because I experienced a little bit

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: of it, and I'll talk about it as well. But

40
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I want to play Joe Biden being asked about the

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: federal government's response to the impact of the hurricane fallout

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: in this region in the same weekend where we're giving

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars more to Ukraine. This feels

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: very much like America. Last kind of thinking. Biden is

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: asked about what he can do for the people in

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: this region, all over the Appalachian area, and he said,

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: federal government's done everything that it can. It's disgraceful, it's disgusting,

48
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: it's indefensible. But I want you to hear it from

49
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: our commander chief.

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: You aren't. Yes, it's tragic.

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, we're trying to get to

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: exact numbers my FEMA advisors on the ground in Florida

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: right now. There's a distinction between the numbers that famous

54
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: used and the ones that used by.

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: By the locals.

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: So it's uh, it really is amazing.

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: You saw the photographs. It's stunny.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: It's so many.

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: It's such a wide area, and we've we've given them

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: all of the everything that we have ram the ground

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: ahead of time, so we're working hard.

62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Are there any more resources the federal governments have been

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: given them?

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: No, we've given them. We have true planned a significant

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: amount of it, even though they didn't.

66
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: Ask for yet.

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: Hadn't asked for that.

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: Okay, that is not what is on the ground.

69
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: That's why I want to open up the phones and

70
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: let people call in and tell us what they are seeing. Buck,

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: your sister in law is in the Ashville area. I

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: know your family has been dealing with this directly. I'll

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: tell you a story that I know. But from your perspective,

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: you've been using these rapid radios to communicate. Just tell

75
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: us what your own family is dealing with right now

76
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and has seen.

77
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 6: My sister in law, her husband and UH and their

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: their little baby boy.

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: They had to shelter in place.

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 6: They're in the Asheville area, kind of outside outside Ashville

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 6: little ways.

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: And I mean I've seen video.

83
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 6: Look Friday night, much of the night of e spend

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 6: trying to calm carry down. It wasn't until we figured

85
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 6: out we could use their rapid radios. We actually use

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 6: those on Saturday for a family to be able to communicate.

87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: So came in incredibly handy. I know the sound cell.

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Phones are all down and many people still can't be contacted.

89
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: This is directly like you were using them.

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were there, my so I made sure that

91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 6: my father in law had one and Carrie's sister had

92
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 6: one and they were able to communicate via rapid radios

93
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 6: and otherwise we were sitting around thee nerver was totally down,

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: power down. Look, they were sheltering in place, trees. I've

95
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 6: seen video of it and talk to them and we've

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 6: been checking in with them, And I'm just sharing this

97
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 6: because I'm sure a lot of people in the area

98
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 6: had a similar situation. First of all, I'm down here

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: in Florida, and Florida is everyone here knows you can

100
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 6: hit by hurricanes, and that doesn't mean that the devastation

101
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 6: is any less, but you're prepared and you have some idea.

102
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 6: No one was talking about this hitting really what Appalachia

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 6: you could say, I mean hitting this corner of well,

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 6: it was really Georgia, the greater Atlanta area, North Carolina,

105
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 6: eastern Tennessee and just dumping so much water. So as

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 6: Carrie's sister and family were sheltering in place, trees just

107
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: started going down everywhere. And when you see the video

108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 6: of this, you have to remember there's one thing which

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 6: happened to them, which is a tree came down in

110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: the house and actually smashed through the roof and got

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 6: down they now have a kind of a skylight almost

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 6: in the kitchen that's not supposed to be there. I

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 6: mean it's open air. Tree just went right through. So

114
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 6: they're talking about a large, heavy tree and they were

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 6: home when that happened. You can imagine, oh, I'm good,

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 6: I'm safe. I'm here during the hurricane, and then a

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 6: tree goes through the kitchen. Okay, so that was very unsettling.

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 6: They had they do have a basement. They were able

119
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 6: to get to the basement. But what they also realize

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 6: is as the trees are all going down, now you

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 6: can't get out. You've got power lines coming down, you

122
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 6: have no power, you have no communications.

123
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: Other than the rapid radios.

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 6: They also the amount of damage from mud slides, and

125
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 6: you know, people think of a floodwater, but really it

126
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 6: turns into this like wave of and you can see

127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 6: the videos of this just this like sludge slash. It's

128
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 6: almost like a slow moving avalanche of just muck, and

129
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 6: it destroys their whole Town's lake Lore, which is where

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 6: Dirty Dancing was filmed. I've actually spent time there. It's

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 6: near Ashville. So if you know the movie Dirty Dancing,

132
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: that hole you know where they're swimming, and the resort

133
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 6: that they are in that's actually in North Carolina and in

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 6: the Ashville area. And there's a little downtown that the

135
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 6: downtown's gone. I mean, there are whole towns and we're

136
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 6: just beginning to find out the devastation of this, but

137
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 6: there are whole towns Clay that no longer exist. I mean,

138
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 6: not massive cities, but there are you know, little town

139
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: centers in this area, and there's I think everyone says,

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 6: I don't think Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina is

141
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 6: up to the task at all.

142
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

143
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 6: I think he got caught completely unaware. I think that

144
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: the Biden Harris administration is not going to feel as

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 6: urgent to deal with this as they might otherwise because

146
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 6: of the demographics of the air it's largely read Asheville

147
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 6: is actually very Democrat, but the surrounding area is very red.

148
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: Eastern Tennessee is very red. Yes, and this is where

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: there's there's nothing.

150
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 6: I mean, you need people to be able to clear

151
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 6: these roads, turn on the electricity, get the cell towers operational,

152
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 6: get food to people, get medicine to people, you know,

153
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 6: get generators in place. Ronda Santis has been what's phenomenal

154
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 6: at this when they had a big hurricane, what was

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 6: it over a year ago? And you know this time around,

156
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 6: Florida's always prepared. We'll see how they can handle this.

157
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: In North Carolina. We'll have Marsha Blackburn joining talk about

158
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: it from the Tennessee perspective.

159
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Look, this caught me by surprise. I was on the

160
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: road Friday and I got a text message from one

161
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: of the assistant football coaches of East Tennessee State University

162
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: who said they were trying to drive to the Citadel

163
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: in Charleston to go play a football game, and every

164
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: one of the roads was flooded and they were trapped

165
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: on their team bus and they were going to have

166
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: to sleep overnight on the team buses because there was

167
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: such chaos all over that area. You can imagine East Tennessee.

168
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: You're trying to drive through much of this buck I

169
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: forty I know many of you out there because I

170
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: forty traversus the entire country have been on this interstate.

171
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: There are I'm not I looked at pictures and I

172
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. There are pictures of the interstate where

173
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: huge portions of the interstate have just collapsed into basic

174
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: mud slides. I mean, we're not talking about there are

175
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: a lot of places that are still underwater. To your point,

176
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: small towns completely wiped out by this flooding and these

177
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: mudslides and everything else. But we're talking about a major

178
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: United States interstate that is probably going to be inoperable

179
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: for months. In terms of people being able to drive

180
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: from the state of Tennessee where I am, into North Carolina,

181
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: through the mountains and through those areas, beautiful, incredible people,

182
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to get there at all.

183
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 6: You're going to hear a lot of running cover for Biden,

184
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 6: because running cover for Biden right now is running cover

185
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 6: for Kamala about how you shouldn't make hurricanes a political issue.

186
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 6: Where this is, you know, we should all come together

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 6: first of all, as we know, Democrats have always made

188
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 6: any disaster and opportunity for them to run whatever political

189
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 6: playbook that they want. And this is where I think

190
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 6: it is not just a fair game. I think it

191
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: is necessary to point out that we have a president

192
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 6: who is not really in charge, doesn't really know where

193
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 6: he is, has to take naps throughout the day, is

194
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: completely incapable of delegating and leading an effective response on this,

195
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 6: and so the response is going to be slow, and

196
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 6: the media is not going to want to cover it

197
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 6: because right now they know, first of all, North Carolina

198
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 6: is a state that is in play, and they know

199
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 6: that this should be a massive federal response. You see

200
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 6: Ron dea Santis mobilized air National Guard assets out of

201
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 6: Florida right away, right away, doing air drops, rescue operations,

202
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 6: getting people's supplies, and from the Biden team. So far,

203
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 6: what have we seen Kamala with a staged photo on

204
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 6: a plane where she has headphones not plugged into anything

205
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 6: and a blank piece of paper in front of her,

206
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 6: like she's really doing the work.

207
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, I want to open up phone lines

208
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: because some of you may actually need real help and

209
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to tell us what's

210
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: going on in your communities. I also understand many phone

211
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: lines are down, many of you may not be able

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: to have any ability to get in touch with anyone.

213
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: That is a major issue.

214
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: It sounds like there are going to be many, many

215
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: casualties from this storm that we still don't know about.

216
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I know there was a Tennessee hospital that basically was

217
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: underwater that they had to air evacuate the patients from Tennessee,

218
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, the mountainous region of Georgia.

219
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: This is an area filled with salt of the earth,

220
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: people that look out for each other. I've spent a

221
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of time there. It's obviously I live in the

222
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: state that's impacted here, and the federal government has completely

223
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: failed in its ability to help these people. And the

224
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: picture of Kamala with no nothing written on a piece

225
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: of paper in front of her and the ear pieces

226
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: in without it being connected to a phone buck it

227
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: evoked if you remember the Hurricane Katrina response, George W.

228
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: Bush was savaged for saying he flew over the area

229
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: in Air Force one and kind of looked down. Kabala

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: and Biden haven't even been able or willing to fly

231
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: over the region. They have shown zero concern. And it's

232
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: now this happened on Friday, Thursday, and Friday, we're now

233
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: talking about Monday.

234
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 6: You have a tremendous amount of military assets in North

235
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: Carolina and people are pointing out, you know, forty billion here,

236
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 6: sixty billion there for Ukraine. It's like we're not even

237
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 6: supposed to notice this Okay, we have military assets in

238
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 6: North Carolina and surrounding states, but particularly in North Carolina,

239
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: are they using the command and control and logistics and

240
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 6: an air cap You can't drive to a lot of

241
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 6: these places, right There's no roadways to go on, so

242
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 6: air wing really matters a lot, and particular cularly rotary right,

243
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 6: vertical takeof vertical landing. Where's Biden giving a speech talking

244
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 6: about what's going on here? I mean, we really just

245
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 6: is he awake? Is he at the beach? We don't

246
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 6: even know. Kamala is a joke. I mean, this is

247
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 6: they're going to lose the election. Just put that aside

248
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 6: for a second. But Kamala is a preposterous political figure

249
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 6: and everyone can see that. Who's not delusional. But right

250
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 6: now we actually need somebody who knows what they're doing.

251
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 6: I don't think that people in charge know what they're

252
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 6: doing at all. We're going to take some of your calls.

253
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of people calling in from those

254
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: affected regions. We want to hear what you are seeing

255
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: and what you believe the people in your community need.

256
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Will take some of your calls all throughout the course

257
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: of the program. As Buck mentioned, we're going to be

258
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: joined by Senator Marshall Blackburn at two thirty from Tennessee,

259
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: who can tell us what the latest is on the

260
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: ground so far as she sees it, and whether the

261
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: federal government is responding as they should be. In the meantime,

262
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: speaking of places that have been in chaos for a

263
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: long time, good news Israel believes that's eliminated around thirty

264
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: top hesible of leaders over the last several weeks, including

265
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: the leader Hassan Nosraala. And an Israeli airstrike in be

266
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: Root that happened on Friday, we talked about it on

267
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: this program. We thought it was likely a few places

268
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: in the world more perilous day to day than the

269
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: Middle East, and our friends in Israel filled the brunt

270
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: of it. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,

271
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that's the IFCJ, is leading the way and helping to

272
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: provide as many as Raeli citizens as possible with food

273
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: and medicine. Provisions are especially helpful for those displaced due

274
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: to war. For more than forty years. The IFCJ has

275
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: been on the ground in Israel within hours of the attacks.

276
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: We need to help them, and the IFCJ has been

277
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: doing that, and in support for our friends in Israel, hundreds,

278
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: if not thousands, of churches here in America will honor

279
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: them in the days leading up to the one year

280
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: anniversary of October seventh, That is the day when Hamas

281
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: came in and killed over a thousand Jewish people, the

282
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: deadliest day for people who are Jewish since the Holocaust.

283
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: Your generous donation today will not only provide a flag

284
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: symbolizing your support in churchyards across America, it will also

285
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,480

00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 6: Welcome back in team. We're talking here about the big

292
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: hurricane at hit. We're also going to get in some

293
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 6: of the other news that came in from over the weekend.

294
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: We can start with.

295
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 6: Some of our callers here, Scott in East Tennessee. Scott,

296
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 6: tell us about your area.

297
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 5: What are you seeing, Hey, buddy, Thank you guys for

298
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: taking my call. I live in the East Tennessee, southwest Virginia.

299
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 5: That's another area that you know, people doesn't realize God hit.

300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: I'm around the Bristol, Johnson City Kingsport area. Man, it's

301
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: like a bomb went off here. We have complete towns

302
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: without power. We have bridges washed away, interstates washed away.

303
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: The hospital that you referenced was I think in either

304
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: Irwin or Unicoy. They're still pulling bodies out. I have

305
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: coworkers who have neighbors whose houses have been washed away.

306
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: It has been an absolute complete disaster here. You know, Luckily,

307
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: some of the folks in the neighboring communities, the fire departments,

308
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: first responders, people are coming together. They're handing out water,

309
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: helping people. But it has been a nightmare, and you know,

310
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 5: I don't think the national level really understands what kind

311
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 5: of devastation has been happening here. Our dams are breaking,

312
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,760

418
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: and this is the worst I've ever been through. I

419
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: would say I would agree with your last caller. I

420
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: haven't seen a FEMA truck or a government truck or

421
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: anything out here. When it's down in Florida, it's two days.

422
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: You got people down there all the time. But the

423
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: devastation you see on TV is nothing compared to what's

424
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: actually happening on the ground. So keep posting those links,

425

428
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: worst thing I've ever seen.

429
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: You're in Boone, North Carolina. I believe app State is

430
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: in Boone, North Carolina. Right was the university to your

431
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,080

434
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: A foot of mud everywhere which is slowly going down?

435
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 4: Our local the local walmart is going to be closed

436
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: for at least a month. The university seems to have

437
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: fared pretty well. They're opening up the gym and a

438
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: lot of other like community centers around the school, so

439
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: you can drop off supplies if you need to go,

440
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 4: if you want to, you know, go and help out

441
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,760

442
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: They have some other places where you can drop off water,

443
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: you know, nonperisonal things like that. Anything that anything that

Speaker 2: Thank you for the call.

447
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, there was just there there was

448
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 6: a concern at one point that the Waterville Dam and

449
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 6: the Lake Lore Dam were We're going to fail, and

450
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 6: damn failure of that kind, it would be catastrophic. I mean,

451
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 6: given that there's a tremendous flooding, the dams have held.

452
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 6: But I mean, just to give everyone a sense of

453
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 6: how when you're talking about the kind of flooding that

454
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 6: can bring down a major dam and what that would

455
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 6: do to the area. I mean, as bad as this is,

456
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: there was even a concern that it could be worse.

457
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: We got someone else calling it from the area.

458
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is in Georgia. I mean again, you've heard

459
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: from Tennessee, North Carolina. Now in Georgia. All communities and

460
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: states impacted in a massive way. Buck Augusta, Georgia, where

461

462
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: statement saying that their course to a large extent, had

463
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: been devastated. For those of you out there who watch

00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 8: a bomb has went off in Augusta, Georgia. There are

468
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 8: trees down everywhere. A Guesst National Parking Lot, for instance,

469
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 8: I notice as over fifty trees that are uprooted, all

470
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 8: up down Berkmann Road. All the power lines are down.

471
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 8: Houses just devastated with multiple trees slicing through their homes. Uh.

472
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 8: You know, reports from different people that are saying that,

473
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 8: you know, there are people that have been are you know,

474
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 8: trapped in their homes and can't get out, and we're

475
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 8: just not we're not seeing any type of response.

476
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, we're starting, Biden said, the federal government's doing everything,

477
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: but this is a third different state. Now you're not

478
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: seeing anything from the federal government.

479
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 8: Not not anything from the federal government. You know, we're

480
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 8: sitting here. We've got Fort eilandhowerth that's right here in Augusta,

481
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 8: Georgie as well, and you know they're supposedly without power

482
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 8: as well. You know, we're a major medical district as

483
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 8: well for our region here on the Savannah River area,

484
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 8: and it's just it's just terrible and we I mean,

485
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 8: we need as many you know, power trucks and power

486
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 8: companies and to start to restore that. They were all

487
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 8: apparently shipped to Atlanta because the storm was supposed to

488
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 8: track to Atlanta area, but you know, it came at

489
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 8: a direct hit for Augusta. And I have family that

490
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 8: lives in South Georgia down to Thomasville, Georgia, and they

491
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 8: barely got the brunt of it at all. It flew

492
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 8: straight through, came straight onto Augusta, and we sat here

493
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 8: under ninety mile an hour winds and with these pine trees,

494
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 8: they snapped them left, right and center. And it's just

495
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 8: it's just crazy to.

496
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Hear Clay that was the thing with Carrie's sister's house. Again.

497
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 6: I've seen the videos, so I mean, it's it's.

498
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: Like the whole forest came down. I don't know.

499
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 6: I mean there's just trees down everywhere on the house,

500
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 6: in the road, on each other, in the yard. I mean,

501
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 6: and big trees right like we're talking like just whole

502
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 6: trees is flattened by this hurricane. And true, you know,

503
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 6: create a tremendous hazard during the storm, but the hazards

504
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 6: continue now.

505
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: People can't get out.

506
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump posted, We're heading to Valdosta, Georgia for those

507
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, that's southern Georgia, in order

508
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: to pay respects. Bring lots of relief material, fuel, equipment, water,

509
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: other things to the state of Georgia. Many politicians, law

510
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: enforcement will be there. They're working very hard. He also

511
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: says I was going to stop in North Carolina as well.

512
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: We have a lot of supplies for them. Access and

513
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: communication now restricted. We want to make sure local emergency

514
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: management able to focus on helping the people most affected,

515
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: not being concerned with me. Again, this is a statement

516
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: from Trump. I'll be there shortly. Don't like the reports

517
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting about the federal government and the Democrat governor

518
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: of the state going out of their way not to

519
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: help people in Republican areas. That is from Donald Trump

520
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: in the last hour. And we are taking a lot

521
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: of your calls. Bradley and Elizabethton, Tennessee, devastated area. You

532
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 10: the highway between Bristol Elizabethan. There is no cell phone

533
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 10: coverage in Elizabethan, very little water. It's being rashed towards

534
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 10: areas of the community. The treatment plant flooded, so there's

535
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 10: very little water.

536
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,920

540
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: back on the phone. Mark also near Asheville, North Carolina,

541
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: retired firefighter. He says he's in del Rio, Tennessee. For

542
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: those of you don't know, North Carolina, Tennessee. Right there, Ashville,

543
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: right across the border. This is the area really impacted.

544
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Mark.

545
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen a lot of things in your

546
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: career as a retired fire firefighter. Have you ever seen

547
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: anything like what you are seeing right now?

548
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 11: No, not like this. I mean I grew up in

549
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 11: the Northeast and we've been through many, many hurricanes. Been

550
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 11: in the fire service since I was the kids, so

551
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 11: I mean we've worked them. I was a career firefighter.

552
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 11: And yeah, it's just it's you have to see it.

553
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 11: I mean it is. It is just destroyed infrastructure. We

554
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 11: got multiple power lines just down, I mean poles ripped

555
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 11: out the river. The force of this river from what

556
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 11: I was told by the fire key here that it

557
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 11: came up twenty eight feet above flood levels.

558
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

559
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 11: It literally swept houses right off their foundations. They're just gone.

560
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: Are you seeing a federal government response? Are you seeing

561
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people Biden says they're doing everything. Are

562
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: the people getting every help they could No.

563
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 11: I mean, we got tree crews out here trying to

564
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 11: clear trees so that they can get new power poles

565
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 11: put in. There's no water in most of the towns

566
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 11: around here. There's just no water. I'm off of well water.

567
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 11: And again I'm prepared because I grew up in the Northeast.

568
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 11: I know how this works. We're running off a generator.

569
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 11: So you got people like me that are supplying water

570
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 11: to people. I know people are running water over to

571
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 11: Hot Springs, North Carolina. You know, they're filling up these

572
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 11: big two hundred and seventy gallon tanks, putting them in

573
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 11: trucks and just hauling them over there to try to

574
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 11: give them water. But I have seen no federal anything

575
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 11: out here. You know, it's just it's just people helping people.

576
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 5: You know.

577
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 11: The towns are certainly doing their part, and the linemen,

578
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 11: I mean they're up all night working to try to

579
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 11: restore power and it's just gonna take days. And as

580
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 11: I was telling them the other guy. You know, the

581
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 11: trains around here have literally been washed out, so the

582
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 11: cargo trains that used to run through here, they're not

583
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 11: going to be moving any cargo through here either.

584
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call.

585
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep taking calls all throughout this show, Bock,

586
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: because I think it's important for us to shine a

587
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: light when mini media are not. We know a lot

588
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: of people listen to us who are in congressional offices,

589
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: who are in the government and might be able to

590
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: help both state, federal, whatever else. Eight hundred and two

591
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: A two two eight A two. It sounds like this

592
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: is truly an unprecedented storm for people in Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia,

593
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: and South Carolina, that entire region, maybe parts of Virginia

594
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: as well.

595
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're just beginning to get a sense of I

596
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 6: think the scale of the disaster, and tragically the loss

597
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 6: of life is going up with every passing hour as well.

598
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: I mean, this is one of the worst hurricanes that

599
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 6: we've seen in a very long time. And as I

600
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 6: was telling you, Carrie's sister lives round the outskirts of

601
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 6: Asheville in the middle of the disaster and went out

602
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 6: their cell phone went out, but you know, my father

603
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 6: in law was able to reach them first thing in

604
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 6: the morning the day after the storm using rapid radios.

605
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 6: They've got their rapid radios and their modern day walkie talkies.

606
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 6: And you know what, I just because my father in

607
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: law's there and he's trying to help with the disaster

608
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 6: and how to patch things up at the house. Here

609
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 6: he is talking about how he used the radios and

610
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 6: how effective they were.

611
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 12: Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina. Some of our family

612
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 12: lost all cell service and internet. We were able to

613
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 12: rely on rapid radios to speak to them in real

614
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 12: time with no problems. The radios have been a godsend

615
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 12: during a very challenging time. Every family shared them.

616
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: My family's got them, the flatleeves have them. I'm sending

617
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 6: my family in New York. You know Hurricane Sandy. I mean,

618
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 6: you never know power outage. I mean, I want every

619
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 6: member of my family of rapid radios. Here's what's so important.

620
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 6: They use all carriers, not just one, like your cell

621
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: phone is tied to one carrier. So it's a different

622
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 6: technology than a cell phone call, and it gives you

623
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 6: a better signal if you go to their website rapid

624
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 6: radios dot com. They have a video explaining how it works.

625
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 6: And these are not your average walkie talkies. They are

626
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 6: pushed to talk with one button and with that you

627
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 6: can talk to your family, all of them at once wherever.

628
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 6: They are no subscription costs or monthly fees, just true

629
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 6: walkie talkie ease. With all the connectivity and technology of today,

630
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 6: they were so important for my family and for my

631
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: in laws up in Ashville. Like I said, we have

632
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 6: them here in Florida. I'm sending a kit. I'm sending

633
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 6: a bunch of them to my family in New York

634
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 6: City because you got to have.

635
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: These wherever you are.

636
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: Small business owners, by the way, also really benefit from

637
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 6: these or just make your day to day easier. But

638
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,480

Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay and Buck.

654
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 6: We're going to be talking about the Hurricane Helene disaster

655
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 6: throughout the show, and we take some of your calls

656
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 6: the next hour on this as well. There's a lot

657
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 6: of news that we also want to get to today,

658
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 6: so we're going to be continue to cover that. But

659
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 6: switch Gear is a little bit one thing.

660
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: Clay.

661
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 6: We had the breaking news on Friday that it was

662
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 6: believed and not confirmed that Hassan Nasralla, the secretary general,

663
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 6: the leader, the top guy of the terrorist group Hasblah,

664
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 6: was killed in an Israeli airstrike that was confirmed over

665
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 6: the weekend. Got Inezruela. This guy's been running Hesbela since

666
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety two nineteen ninety three, and there was someone

667
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 6: who took over. Do you see the Israelis got him too. Yeah,

668
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 6: so this is a job you don't particularly want to have.

669
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: Right now.

670
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 6: You've had two CEOs of the Hesbula Terror Corporation taken

671
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 6: out by Israeli strikes in forty eight hours. Israel is

672
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 6: now in the beginning stages of some kind of military

673
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 6: incursion up in the North.

674
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: So we'll continue to look at that.

675
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 6: But Israel has just decided the gloves come off and

676
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 6: their enemies will be dealt with in whatever way the

677
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 6: Israelis think is most efficient to take them off the battlefield.

678
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 6: So I'm I did not know that we would waken up.

679
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 6: I mean, this is because it's overseas a story that's

680
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 6: getting a less attention because of what's going on here

681
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 6: at home. But I would just say, Clay, that's a

682
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 6: big that's a big deal. That's something that you would

683
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 6: not have expected to happen, and now.

684
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 2: Here we are. So we'll get into that. We've also

685
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: got more.

686
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 6: In the whole presidential election that is coming up, but

687
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: I think is important for us to get to today. Clay,

688
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 6: I've got some good news. I think we'd use a

689
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 6: little a little good news right now. You know that

690
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 6: for the first time in decades. According to Gallup, more

691
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 6: Americans are identifying as Republican than Democrat five percent.

692
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: I did see that, and actually the interesting part about

693
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: that is it's very predictive historically for how the overall

694
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: national popular vote is going to look, which would be

695
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: very positive for Donald Trump. We'll talk about that. We'll

696
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: continue to take your call. Surrounding Hurricane Helene and all

697
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: of the impact from so many different states. Also buck

698
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: one more challenge out there. There may be a doc

699
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: worker strike on the East Coast coming up, potentially starting tomorrow,
