Speaker 1: w j b O. I cannot even words, can't describe

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: what I've been through all day. We got here last night.

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: The devastation is beyond anything that I can describe to you.

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: It does remind me, and I know it was worse

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: than New Orleans, but it's the same thing. And I

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: just I am stunned at the lack of coverage considering

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the disaster that is down here. At

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: the bottom of this half hour, I'm gonna introduce you

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: to Livingston Parish Sheriff, a grilly, great guy. This guy

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: is not gonna be I love this guy. Spent all

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: morning with him, Jason Ard, and we toward the DEVA

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: station just in his parish alone this is going to

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: impact as many as a dty homes potentially. I mean

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I literally I would go through street after street after

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: street after street after street. I mean entire neighborhoods. Most

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: of these were no flood zones. People didn't even have

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: flood insurance because it's a no flood zone. How do

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: you flood in a no flood zone. Well, it flooded,

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and it flooded like halfway up every single solitary house.

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: When you see these pictures tonight, you're gonna you're not

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna believe what you see. I mean entire blocks. Everybody

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: had gutted their house and everything is gone. Every single

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: thing that people owned is like in the front of

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: their house on the street, and it goes on what

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: seemingly forever. It's been that bad. And you know, so

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: we went, we came down here to you know, I

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: started getting Linda was actually the first one that picked

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: up on on how bad this was, I guess, because

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: she was getting calls from some of our listeners down here,

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: is like, this is awful, this is bad. Then I

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: started getting emails myself. You guys need to know, this

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: is horrible. This is the worst thing that's ever happened.

40
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: You have no idea. The national media is ignoring this,

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: and and lo and behold they did. And uh, anyway,

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: then when I had some friends on the Trump camp

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: and they were in the plane with Trump when he

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: went down, and they're calling me that they're telling me,

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: you cannot believe what we're seeing down here. And so

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: I said, all right, we're going to baton rouge. I

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: even talked to Trump himself and said how bad was

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: He says, you have no idea, no idea? It said

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: that bad. Now, I gotta believe that the president has

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: been briefed. All right, He's coming tomorrow a little late.

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: But as all these people literally fighting for their lives

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: and losing everything that they own, he's out there teeing

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: off every day and the golf course during the entire episode.

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: And Hillary, you know, she literally gives new meaning to

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: phoning it in. She made a phone call to the governor.

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Gee a lot of how that was anyway, And there

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: are great people down here. I tell you who's amazing.

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Franklin Graham, the Reverend Franklin Graham. I've supported his Samaritans

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: person now for a lot of years. I mean, just

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: they were down here. Tony Perkins was down here. Uh.

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: There was a front page article today in one of

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the local papers, and you know about literally borrowing churches

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: because schools churches. Um. The sheriff actually pointed out one

64
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: particular nursing home. I mean they had like seventy five

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: old people in there on oxygen, bedridden, and half the

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: place was packed with water. And as as people describe

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: this to me, I'm like, all right, explain, it's like

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Noah's Ark in real life that the rain came down

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: so fast and it was so devastating and there was

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: no place for it to go. That what happened is

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it just everybody's house is like five ft underwater. And

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: you say, and then the currents were horrible. Now there's

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: thirteen people that have and I know in the particular

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: parish I was in with sheriff hard that it was

75
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: only there was only one one person that they lost,

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: and he told me it's a miracle. And then when

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: I talked to the people and what was happening, there's

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: one olderly, elderly woman, she's gotta be seventy eight years old,

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: eighty years old. I mean her family flew into to

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: clean out our house for her. But I mean, this

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: house is done. These homes are done. The only way

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get these homes back up and and working

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: again as homes, you gotta strip. I mean strip it entirely.

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: You might be able to might with the right treatment

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: to prevent mold, you might be able to keep the

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: brick and and the structure. And I know from my

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: years of construction, but I mean, you're gonna have to

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: take out every every single bit of two, every two

89
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: by four, every electrical outlet, every every it's just gone. Everything,

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Just strip it and it's empty. You're gonna have to

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: redo the um what do you call these things? The joyce? Yeah,

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: everything's gotta be read on the whole thing. And I

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I just you know, I remember going down to New

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: Orleans after Katrina. I'm like, wow, you're just I'm driving

95
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: on the highway. You look left, you look right, boom,

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: everything's empty, boarded up and done. Remember the same thing

97
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: when I went through Detroit and all these people suffering,

98
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: and of course you know, you're you know, this is

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the thing. How many times do I tell all of

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: you don't count on the federal government that you can't

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: The only reason lives weren't lost in massive numbers. The

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: only reason I'm telling you right now is because the

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: good people in this community. Everybody that had a boat

104
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: got in their boat and they went in the neighborhoods

105
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: and they started doing it themselves. They started getting the

106
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: old people out, they started getting the young people out.

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: They went to the nursing homes, they went to the hospitals,

108
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: and they got everybody out. Policeman I talked to some

109
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: of the Sheriff's department people. They worked sixty plus hours

110
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: before they took one hour sleep. And then then you

111
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: had people outside of the area realizing that the extent

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: of the damage. Then they all came in with food

113
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: and blankets and water and baby formula and supplies. I

114
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: know the President was teeing off he's playing golf. Hillary

115
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: she made a phone call, and then Donald Trump got criticized,

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: even though he told the press to stay away from

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: him and he didn't want him around them, but it

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: did show. It's uh I, I don't you know all

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: these years. It's my thirtieth year now in radio, my

120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: twenty year on the Fox News channel. Although the New

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: York Times, I guess is shocked that I'm supporting the conservative,

122
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: the more conservative candidate in the race. I don't even

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: have time for these idiots and the liberal media today.

124
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: I have no time for them. I've given too much

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: attention to most of these these clowns. But I mean,

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't do their job either. I actually

127
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: asked the sheriff, I said, there's been any national media here?

128
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Because no you other for first, I said, you gotta

129
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: be kidding me. It's unbelievable, but I've been I don't

130
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: get shocked easily, right, James, I say this. I wondered

131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: sometimes if my heart is getting hard because I've I've

132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: covered too much, and you just you, you kind of

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: get numb after a while and a little bit immune.

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: And I felt like crying for these people today. You know,

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Lady comes up to me, Oh, I'm so glad to

136
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: see you. I was glad you're here, and she's like,

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: going to get me water. I'm like, lady, I'm ma'am,

138
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine, don't worry about me. She gives me

139
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a hug. I'm like, I ought to be hugging you.

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: And they lost everything everything, didn't that the American dream?

141
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I was asking the sheriff. What is the average home

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: price about like a hundred fifty thou dollars. My first

143
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: home cost a hundred and fourteen thousand d eighteen times.

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I remember I got that house and

145
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: meant everything to me. So you work your whole life,

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you're able to get a mortgage, you buy a house.

147
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, there are people that literally got moved in

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: their house two days and now their house is done.

149
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Two day old house. Incredibly sad, tragic, And uh, I

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: keep telling all of you, don't trust your government. Don't

151
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I say that. I say, because you know what, when

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it hits the fan, Yeah, it hits the fan and

153
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: it happens. It's happened to a lot of people around

154
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the country. You know your government is not going to

155
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: be there. I'll never forget the interview I had with

156
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the Reverend Jackson. I tell this story a lot. Reverend Jackson.

157
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: You know he's blaming Bush. They had five days warning

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: that Hurricane Katrina was coming. They had no days warning

159
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: here in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. And you know,

160
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: Reverend Jackson, I'm like, Reverend, you know you had a

161
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: democratic mayor. You know you had a democratic governor. And

162
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: remember Mayor Negan, this city will be a chok don't

163
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: play it. This city will be a chocolate city. Like

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: all right, great, imagine somebody's saying this city's gonna be

165
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: vanilla strawberry. What I mean, so stupid and ignorant. Anyway,

166
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: he was living life large in one of the hotels

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: and high rises, doing nothing, and and Jackson's blaming Bush.

168
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: The Times pick a unit of of New Orleans actually

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: predicted like thirty thirty five years prior, what would happen

170
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: if a Cat three, four or five hurricane came to

171
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: the coast of New Orleans and the levees broke. They

172
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: predicted it perfectly, and nobody prepared for it, and they

173
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: had five days warning and they still didn't prepare for it.

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I said the Reverend Jackson, will you know, did you

175
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: expect George Bush to drive the thousand yellow busses underwater?

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Why didn't you use the buses? And he literally said

177
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: that what are we supposed to do with the buses?

178
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, how about you put the key in it?

179
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: And then then he goes, then what I'm like, turn

180
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: the ignition on, Well, then what pick up the people?

181
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: And where am I supposed to take him? How about

182
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: take him the hell away from the hurricane grief? The

183
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: same government that's bankrupt in your social security. Oh, I

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: got a story today about Obamacare. Do you realize the

185
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,479
Speaker 1: people in in Arizona now have no Obamacare? None? Zero,

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: no Obamacare. I have it somewhere in my pack here.

187
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. But um, what

188
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I saw today was incredible devastation, sadness, you know. And

189
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: just to do a little political commentary on this, you

190
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: know the president out there tea. You know, this is

191
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: the same president and same Hillary Clinton that said this

192
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: about Bush during Hurricane Katrina. Because when the people of

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: New Orleans and the Gulf Coast extended their hand for help,

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: help was not there. When people looked up from the

195
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: rooftops for too long, they saw an empty sky. When

196
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the winds blew and the floodwaters came, we learned that

197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: for all of our wealth and our power, something wasn't

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: right with America. We can talk about what happened for

199
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: a few days in two thousand and five, and we should.

200
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: We can talk about levies that couldn't hold, about a

201
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: FEMA that seemed not just incompetent but paralyzed and powerless.

202
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: About a president who only saw the people from the

203
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: window of an airplane instead of down here on the

204
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: ground trying to provide comfort and aid. We we can

205
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: talk about a trust that was broken, the promise that

206
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: our government will be prepared, will protect us, and we'll

207
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: respond in a catastrophe. Time and again, Hillary Clinton has

208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: stood up the president in Bush and stood up for us.

209
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: You're stuck on a roof top, were stranding in the

210
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Superdome during You're invisible to this president even when you're

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: on CNN. Well, you are not invincible to me, and

212
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: you should never be invisible to the president of the

213
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: United States. Wow, you should never be invisible to the president.

214
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: Hillary is not even gonna bother Hillary says, well, I'll

215
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: visit Louisiana when I won't disrupt. Wow. Did you hear

216
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: the people when Trump came down here? Listen to this. Listen.

00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: They were so happy he came down here. You know

00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: lot of people lost. I'm okay. It's materialistic things they

228
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: can be replaced. And having Trump here to that mental

00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: lot to you. Oh yes, yes, ben Hell, America's gotta

Speaker 1: wake up. Donald Trumps the way to wake us up.

231
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: He's waking America up. He's gotta get busy. America's gotta

232
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: get behind him. Without America getting by and Donald Trump,

233
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose, and we're gonna lose bigger than this

234
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: flood ever did. So America's gotta wake up. Damn A

235
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Republican demo democrat, it's America. It's America's und to stand

236
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: up and take back America. By the way, these are

237
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: the same people that gave you more debt and the

238
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: last eight years that they're gonna put on your children

239
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: and grandchildren then everybody or the president before him combined,

240
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: they're the ones that added twelve million Americans to food

241
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: stamps eight million and poverty eight million more, the worst

242
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: recovery since the forties, the lowest tone ownership rates since

243
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: the fifties, the lowest labor participations since the seventies, and

244
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: a doubling of our national debt, and one in five

245
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: families in America, you know, don't have a single family

246
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: member working. You can add some other statistics to that

247
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: as well. You know, it just never ends. In regard

248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: to the President's trip to Betton Rouge, Um, the White

249
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: House schedule the trip in response to uh Donald Trump's visit,

250
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: of course not the local paper has said the President

251
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: is already liked to this crisis, but it's better late

252
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: than never. Has the President been party in responding more

253
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: personally to Betton Rouge's most Kevin. I can tell you

254
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: what the President's been focused on is the response on

255
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: the ground and the people whose lives in Louisiana have

256
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: been turned upside down by this terrible flooding event. And

257
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: the response that you've seen from the federal government has

258
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: been effective, and the President and the other members of

259
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: his team that have operational responsibilities have been effective. And again,

260
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: you don't just have to take my word for it.

261
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: I would actually refer you to local officials in Louisiana

262
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: who have said very positive things about the federal response.

263
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: Because when the people of New Orleans and the Gulf

264
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Coast extended their hand for help, help was not there.

265
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: When people looked up from the rooftops for too long,

266
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: they saw an empty sky. When the winds blew and

267
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: the floodwaters came, we learned that for all of our

268
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: wealth and our power, something wasn't right with America. We

269
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: can talk about what happened for a few days in

270
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and we should. We can talk

271
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: about levies that couldn't hold, about a FEMA that seemed

272
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: not just incompetent, but paralyzed and powerless. About a president

273
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: who only saw the people from the window of an

274
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: airplane instead of down here on the ground trying to

275
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: provide comfort and aid. We we can talk about a

276
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: trust that was broken, the promise that our government will

277
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: be prepared, will protect us, and we'll respond in a catastrophe.

278
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Time and again, Hillary Clinton has stood up the president

279
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: in Bush. It stood up for us. You're stuck on

280
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: a rooftop, were stranding in the Superdome during our hurricane.

281
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: You're invisible to this president, even when you're on CNN,

282
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: you are not invisible to me, and you should never

283
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: be invisible to the President of the United States. All right, That,

284
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: of course was both Obama and of course Hillary and

285
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: uh talking about using Katrina for political cheap political points. Well,

286
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: now we're down here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I've

287
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: been out on the ground and the devastation, it takes

288
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: your breath away, the depth, the amount of devastation, I mean,

289
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: neighborhood after neighborhood, home after home. I had the honor

290
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: of meeting the Great Sheriff of Livingston Parish, Sheriff Jason

291
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: Hardy's with us now and we spent a lot of

292
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: time together this morning, Sheriff, and I'm trying to explain

293
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: to this audience just how devastating this all is. And

294
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: and that's only one one parish, one area, and it

295
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: goes on, you know, as many as a hundred thousand

296
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: plus homes are impacted here. I'm told, Yeah, Sean, I

297
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming out today to give our our residents

298
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: a little hope and try to get this message out.

299
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: In some of the video that you're going to be

300
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: able to show again, I don't think it does any

301
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: justice to actually putting your own eyes on the devastation. Yeah,

302
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: it really does. What I saw on TV, I mean

303
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: we saw images of coffins floating away in the rapids.

304
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of turmoil. Here's why don't you

305
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: tell the whole story, because this is an unbelievable story

306
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: to people. Is that literally you had rains like you've

307
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: never had before. The particular areas you were taking me

308
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: through today they were described as no flood zones. Many

309
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: of the people we met today, you heard them, they

310
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: don't even have flood insurance there. Those homes are done.

311
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: They don't have the money to rebuild those homes, right,

312
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of people is gonna be

313
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: in that situation. And again we had no notice of

314
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: Obviously we knew there was a thunderstorm that was coming,

315
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: but the amount of rain was just devastating in the

316
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: in the time frame, it was almost like a Cap

317
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: five hurricane with no wins sitting on top of us

318
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: from twenty four hours, just hammering on us. And so

319
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: the least likely place to flood is the Watson area,

320
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: which is north of Denham Springs north of the Paris

321
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: and that was the first place that was very that

322
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: we really started having a lot of issues, which was

323
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: not what we were expecting, of course, so we had

324
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: a lot of resources there at the same time that

325
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: was going on. That hit right around Saturday, uh Saturday

326
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: afternoon the wee hours and aurday morning we started losing

327
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: our nime on one communications center, so we fought that

328
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: all morning into the wee hours of the morning. At

329
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: the same time, we we had our our detention center

330
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: with six inmates taken on water. So all this was

331
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: going on at the same time. And this this flood

332
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: is moving to the south of our parish and it's

333
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: also on the north side on the very far east,

334
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: which is in the all Beeny area, so it's actually

335
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: moving and we're getting this phone call off the phone call,

336
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: we our system goes down. We were able to keep

337
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: up some phone lines and be able to move it

338
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: to another location because the water took over our center.

339
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: Once we get over to this other location, we have

340
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: uh we were able to set up some phone lines

341
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: and of course, uh, you you have your name on

342
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: one line and a couple of other lines, and you

343
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: have over fifty to sixty thousand people calling at one

344
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: time now, which is jamming your phone lines up. And

345
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: then we the next morning, we're still up. Nobody has

346
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: had any sleep. This is now Sunday, and then to

347
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Monday morning we the A t n T lines go

348
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: down and anybody a service way t n T in

349
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: the Batton Rouge area. Uh So, now you have no

350
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: communication with your loved ones. Believe the rescuers out there

351
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: trying to get the people. People can't. They don't know

352
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: if their loved ones are okay. So it's it's a

353
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of chaos. We have a lot of help. And

354
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: I told you this earlier today. This isn't about what

355
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: the Sheriff's office did. This isn't about what your local

356
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: police department, your fire departments did. This is about what

357
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: Livingston Parish did as a community all came together. You

358
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: had people helping your neighbors helping neighbors, the people helping strangers.

359
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: They had a boat they would come dear but did

360
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: anything they could to rescue people. We had people putting

361
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: signs on the doors they just said I need help.

362
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: We had a lot of veteran officers that was recognized

363
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: and looking for those signs. We were able to get

364
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: what we needed. Not every one of my deputies had boats,

365
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: but it was nice to know when they got to

366
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: that flooded area in a vehicle, they had some one

367
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: a citizen waiting with a boat saying, hey, where do

368
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: I go? So they were able to get with the

369
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: deputy and we worked together as community to get these

370
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: these people evacuated. And we're talking thousands upon thousands of

371
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: people that were rescued out of their homes. And by

372
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: the way, there's a lot of these people that I

373
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: met a few of them. I mean they were elderly.

374
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: You pointed out a nursing home to me, where what

375
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: do you have seventy five people or whatever? The number

376
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: wasn't there? And and a lot of these people a bedridden.

377
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean that in and of itself is a major operation.

378
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: And you had to get them out on a boat, right,

379
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: A lot of things on the boat until we could

380
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: get the high water vehicles in. And luckily I had

381
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: a couple of high water vehicles that we own that

382
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: we were able to utilize. And again, this is something

383
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: that we're not prepared for. I mean, when using when

384
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: you have a hurricane, you know what's coming, and you're waiting.

385
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: You're getting everything prepared, you getting your vehicles here, you're

386
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: getting things gassed up, getting your boats ready. This was

387
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: us laying in the bed Friday morning, listening to the

388
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: watching the rainfall, realizing it's coming up. And by Friday

389
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: evening we roused, you know what, We're gonna have an issue.

390
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it happened that quick, and so and we

391
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: went to rescue and right off the bat by noon

392
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: on Friday, we were rescuing after this thing starts, and

393
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: so it was very quickly this thing started taking the

394
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: basically taking over our parish, and they were very lucky.

395
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: But like I said, this morning, God was with us

396
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: to be able to help us to save this many people. Unbelievable.

397
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Um so, how many people total when you look at

398
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: not just your parish, but surrounding parishes and and and

399
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: neighboring Metro Baton Rouge where I am now, how many

400
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: and how many people do you think totally were rescued

401
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: from all of this? Because you showed me different for example,

402
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: in different areas. All right, maybe the flood was four ft.

403
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: You showed me one area that it was above six

404
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: ft in other words, you know, above people's heads in

405
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: some in some neighborhoods. So all of those people had

406
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: to be rescued. I mean it really it's almost sounds

407
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: like a miracle because you're talking about thousands of people

408
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: that had to be rescued overall. And I guess everybody

409
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: that owns a boat in and around the area got

410
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: in their boats and started doing all this. It was

411
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: all over. I mean, you have all the surrounding parishes

412
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: they're rescuing. It's gonna be you know, I know my parents,

413
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: we had well over twenty thousand people that was rescued.

414
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: And I can't keep counting of those who the neighbors

415
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: who were rescuing. It's hard to keep counting all that.

416
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: But I know we have a hold forty one thousand

417
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: people here, and you know, we're saying that we had

418
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: over from what I understand the numbers, around eight of

419
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: our parents are going to be impacted. They may not

420
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: have a turtle walls, but they were touched. U you

421
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: start doing the numbers on that, when you're you're getting

422
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: up in the fifty thousand, So it's gonna be a

423
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: large number of people could even possibly be in the

424
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand of people that were rescued in an s

425
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: C flood event. And this is talking about East Baton

426
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: Routh Sheriff's office at Tanis, but whose shriff's office ascension

427
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Sheriff's office, And I mean, it was a lot of

428
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: rescues going on the entire time we were here, unreal, Um, Sheriff.

429
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: I I watched, I met a couple of I've met

430
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: a lot of your guys, and I met some of

431
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: the National guardsmen today too, And some of these guys

432
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: were saying what they didn't sleep for sixties straight hours

433
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: that I mean, how much did How long were you

434
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: up for about the same? None of us slept, well,

435
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: you we couldn't sleep, We didn't have time to sleep.

436
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: It was this was a serious rescue effort going on.

437
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: You know what was really um, what kept me moving

438
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: was the fact that I had so many deputies that

439
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: were that were devastated by this storm. To watch them

440
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: come in, go go off for about thirty minutes, cheering up,

441
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: realizing they have nothing left, they have nothing to go

442
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: home to and go back and getting that boat and

443
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: go back out. So are rescuing women have did? That

444
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: just motivated me to work harder. That's the kind of

445
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: people we have that that live here and work here,

446
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: and I can't be more proud of them than than

447
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: I am today. You know, a common theme of my

448
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: program is I kind of believe in limited government. I

449
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: believe that you know, anybody that thinks the government's gonna

450
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: be there for you, I'm like, don't count on it.

451
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: I can use Obamacare as an example. You never got

452
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: to keep your doctor your planning, and people are ended

453
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: up paying forty more over Obama's term than less. He

454
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: promised savings per family per year that never happened. And

455
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: social Security and Medicare has going bankrupt. And I guarantee

456
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: you that they're gonna raise the eligibility age, mean test

457
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: social Security over years, and they'll legalize stealing. But this

458
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: is an example that there's basically there was no federal

459
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: government help here at all. Right, Well, you know, uh,

460
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: it's all I could do is reach out to our

461
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: state to get some rescue vehicles here, and uh, and

462
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: I have to I have to again. I mean, I

463
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: always agree with our governor's viewsed, I mean, everybody has.

464
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: But but the governor was there for me when I

465
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: called him and He actually called me personally to say, hey,

466
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: what do you need. I told him what I needed.

467
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: He got it here. Um. As far as the FEMA

468
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: so far, yeah, I think that they they've worked with us.

469
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: I know our parents. President Lake and Ricks is working

470
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: day in and day night trying to deal with that.

471
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Luckily for me in my job, I don't have to

472
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: deal with that directly too much other than the fact

473
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: trying to get my my men and women here taken

474
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: care of. But it's, um, you know, nothing convence couldn't

475
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: been here quick enough and uh, and I'm not gonna

476
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: get into it. I just I don't really know what

477
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: to say because I don't know. I know, everybody has

478
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: things to do, everybody has things that they got to

479
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: take care of. But um, when I needed to help,

480
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: it was here in the time we manner. Uh. And

481
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: then the other thing we were dealing with here as

482
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: well as you know, um, the we we became an

483
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: island when we were shut off from Baton Rouge and

484
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the surrounding parishes. We hadn't there was no way to

485
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: get to us, but there was one area you could

486
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: get in and out, which is very north, which means

487
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: a fifteen minute ride to Baton Rouge became a three

488
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: to four hour ride. So just justin your one parish,

489
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: how many homes do you think are impacted? Um, I

490
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: don't think they have a exact number. I think that

491
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be up to the quote. I think that

492
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: the last number I heard was somewhere around, uh the

493
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: thirty between fifty to sixty thou homes probably impacted. Oh

494
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, and look we were in the homes. We

495
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: were in these homes together today, I mean, these homes

496
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: are done. I mean you probably can keep your shell.

497
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: That's about all that you'll be able to keep. Right,

498
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: everything that was in there, every wall, every stud ever rejoiced.

499
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Everything's coming down right, I mean everything. I mean that

500
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: our federal government understands that and and works with our

501
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: what our local government to make sure these people get, um,

502
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: you know, help with this. They're gonna need help because

503
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: people don't have insurance. So the reason they don't have

504
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: is because they didn't need it and now they have

505
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: to have it. You know. It's just like if you're

506
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: not in a flood zone and you don't have insurance.

507
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: Most people don't. Fixed incomes and not paying the insurance

508
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: or they don't need it, so um, yeah, I mean

509
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: we need their help, and I hope they understand, and

510
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: I hope and I really thank you for what you're

511
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: doing to kind of get this message out there. Baby's

512
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: in Paris needs help. We were devastated. You told me

513
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: earlier today. There's been no national real coverage of this. Nobody,

514
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean you told me that was the first person

515
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: you saw from the media. Even local people are still

516
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: dealing with other stuff that's going on down in Baton Rouge.

517
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: There's been no real national coverage of this except putting.

518
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump came to tell you know, we had we

519
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: had a few local national companies reached out deer in

520
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: the flood, deer in the actual rescue time and did

521
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: some phone interviews. But I think you're the first one

522
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: that I know that actually have came down here to

523
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: uh to show the aftermath. You know, it was one

524
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: thing when you see the floodwaters and that's when everything's

525
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: really hot and people want stories, but now is the

526
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: time they need you and uh and and I'm and

527
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm very appreciative that you would show up and show

528
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: the people, uh that we're that y'all still care. Did

529
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: you see that lady? She wanted to hug me today,

530
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I need to hug you. You just

531
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: lost everything you own. I mean, it kind of blew

532
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: me away. One of the things. I gotta give a

533
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of credit where credit is due. And I know,

534
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: my buddy, Reverend Franklin Graham, this guy is the real deal.

535
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: I love this guy. He's been down here with Samaritan's person.

536
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: I know that Tony Perkins and his group have been

537
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: down here. We're gonna put all of these reputable charities

538
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot Com. I'm not a particular fan

539
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: of the Red Cross for a lot of reasons, but

540
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, these are really good people there on the ground.

541
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: They're feeding people, They're helping these people recover. They have

542
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: they gonna have people they brought in to help people,

543
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, just get all the stuff out of their

544
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: house and take down the walls. I mean, it's so,

545
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: so sad, because you know, everybody's life is you know,

546
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: you buy a home, you think of the American dream

547
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: is true now and then you've got to deal with this. Yeah,

548
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's showing. You got to meet some of

549
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: our residents today and now you you you know how

550
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: it feels to be in my position, the kind of

551
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: people that are so appreciative of what we do and supportive,

552
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: and they came together as community. You got to see

553
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: it firsthand what this parish is all about. And if

554
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the organizations and Mr Graham and different

555
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: ones coming down and helping us, and you know, I

556
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: don't know what we would do. Well, listen, Sheriff, I

557
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, I really admire you. I think you're

558
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: probably the only person that's a politician that I know

559
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: that ever got of the vote. Having now met you,

Speaker 1: the whole Trump here? Um, let's see, I didn't lose

585
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: anything compared to what a lot of people lost. I'm okay,

586
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: it's material, mystic thanks. They can be replaced having Trump here.

587
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, Hell, America's gotta wake up. Donald Trumps

588
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: the way to wake us up. He's waking America up.

589
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: He's gotta get visit. America's gotta get behind him without

590
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: America getting by and Donald Trump we're gonna lose, and

591
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose bigger than this flood ever did. So

592
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: America's gotta wake up. Damn a Republican demo Democrat, it's America.

593
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: It's America's not understand up and take back America. Here's

594
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: what your fellow Democrat, former Louisiana Senator Mary Landrews said

595
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: about the visit. I'm want to thank Mr Trump for

596
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: coming to Louisiana. He brought attention to our state and

597
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: we need that now. So why is she wrong? She's not?

598
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: And but but you mischaracterized what I said. I didn't

599
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: dismiss his trip as a photo op before he came down.

600
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: I said, we welcome him here, we want him to

601
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: be helpful, and we hope that it doesn't turn into

602
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: a mere photo op. So you got the story backwards. Okay,

603
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: So was he helpful now that it's coming gone, was

604
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: he helpful? Was it a good thing that he came down? Well?

605
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: I think yeah, for the reasons that I stated earlier,

606
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: because it helped to sign a spotlight on Louisiana and

607
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: on the dire situation that we have here, that it

608
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: was helpful. And I will tell you that I also

609
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: appreciated the good phone call, the conversation that I had

610
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: with Governor Pence, who was sincere and genuine when he called,

611
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: and we spoke for a long time one Friday morning

612
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: about their desire to be helpful. All right, as we continue,

613
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: where you are in Baton Rouge today in Louisiana. News

614
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: Radio eleven fifty w j b O is our affiliate

615
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: station down here, and they've been magnificent and literally on

616
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: short notice that they're and available to us eight hundred

617
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: nine four one, Shawn. It raises a question, having been

618
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: out most of the morning this morning, you know, just

619
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: meeting people and viewing the devastity, you are not going

620
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: to believe what you've seen on TV tonight, you know,

621
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: and there was President Bush rebuked by Democrats for his

622
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: handling of Hurricane Katrina. You've got, you know, hundreds of

623
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: thousands of people impacted. Here. You go through neighborhood after

624
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: neighborhood after neighborhood after neighborhood, street after street, and these

625
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: homes were all under water and the water is now receded,

626
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: but the homes are destroyed. And many of these people

627
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: they didn't live in flood zones. It's not like they

628
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: have any help. And I know the President has been busy,

629
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: He's played his four round of golf. For crying out loud,

630
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: the Baton Rouge advocate wrote a scathing editorial, all but

631
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: blaming him and shaming him into interrupting his vacation. He

632
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: might come tomorrow. I guess. I guess that's the plan anyway,

633
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: joining us now what is bound to be? I guess

634
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: her thirteenth New York Times bestseller, and Culter is with us,

635
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: and she writes You've got a love and and and

636
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: every book that she writes in the cover that she

637
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: writes e ploribus awesome in Trump we trust? How are

638
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: you miss, Culter? Good to see where in Baton Rouge today?

639
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: It's the devastation is unbelievable. The only guy that took

640
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: his time out of his day to come down here

641
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: was Donald Trump. As just heard you right in this book,

642
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not a politician. He's a one man

643
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: wrecking ball against our dysfunctional and corrupt establishment. We're about

644
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: to see the deluxe version of the left favorite theme.

645
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: Vote for us, or we'll call you stupid. It's the

646
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: working class against the smirking class. Boy, that's pretty much

647
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: sums it up, because isn't that the case with the

648
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: Republican establishment? Now, yes, it really is that. I mean,

649
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: I think my publisher was a little surprised to get

650
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: this book since I'm usually denouncing liberals, that this is

651
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: mostly an attack on, um, well, the the old Republican Party.

652
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: It's a new Republican party with Donald Trump, um, and

653
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: all the people you know we've sort of counted on

654
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: to run interference and tell us the truth. Um, the

655
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: conservative think tanks, conservative consultants, the conservative media. Um, it's

656
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump against all of them. And you know, I

657
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: knew the Democrats didn't care about America's middle class or

658
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: America's working class, but I always thought our party did.

659
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: Took Trump coming along and saying, Okay, how about we

660
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: do something for for Americans now, Um, how about we

661
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: bring jobs back and stop stop signing these these job

662
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: killing trade deals and build a wall on the border,

663
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: stop dumping low wage workers on the country, stop the

664
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: endless wars in the Middle East that haven't left us

665
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: any better off. Whosever fault that is? And I blame Obama.

666
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: So we'll say that the Warren Rock was doomed to failure,

667
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: but whatever going forward? Why would you do it again?

668
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: And what is you know, our party, our ex parties

669
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: response to that? No, no, no, we can't help the

670
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: working class. Let's see what the Chamber of Commerce wants,

671
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: let's see what Wall Street wants. Well, we'll get to

672
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: you later. Well, we've been waiting twenty years to get

673
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: to to the American people. And and what I noticed, Um,

674
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved from from from the Mexican rapist speech.

675
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: But what I've noticed about him, and one of the

676
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: points I make in this book is at first, I

677
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: never really I never thought much about Trump one way

678
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: or another, but um, I was kind of surprised that, yes,

679
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: this this entertainment maven and and reality TV star, He's

680
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: the one who's finally making the points I've been waiting

681
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: all my life for a Republican to make. And at

682
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: first I think, like a lot of people, I was thinking,

683
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, why couldn't Mitt Romney have made these points?

684
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: And then you sit back and realize Mitt Romney would

685
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: be curled up in a little ball if he were

686
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: making these points and coming under one one fraction of

687
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: the of the attacks dons Trump is coming under all

688
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: the things that seem like a disability with Trump actually

689
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: turned out to be an advantage. We needed someone that

690
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: this this you know, alpha dog reality TV star in

691
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: order to withstand absolutely unprecedented attacks from the media. You know,

692
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: I want to go through something because I have had

693
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: it as you have. And I'll give you credit. I

694
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: think you were really ahead of the curve as it

695
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: relates to Trump more than anybody in terms of winning

696
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: the nomination. I wasn't sure in the beginning that he'd

697
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: compete at all. And and obviously I'll tell you where

698
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. Every exit Paul Land shows that Republicans feel

699
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: betrayed by their own stupid party. And they have earned

700
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: that distinction because they make promise after promise and they

701
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: don't fulfill them. We'll repeal and replace Obamacare. They give

702
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: a show votes, but they won't use the power of

703
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: the purse. John Baynard gave us an additional five trillion

704
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: dollars in debt and he had control of the purse.

705
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: That's inexcusable. That's not conservative. Next thing, I look at Republicans,

706
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: we just need the Senate and then we'll really get

707
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: things done and we'll stop what they called illegal, unconstitutional

708
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: executive amnesty. That's the big one. The first to look

709
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: it is through Obamaca and Vita. What they had it was,

710
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: as I described in the book, that was the real betrayal,

711
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: and it happens to be the exact same betrayal we

712
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: have been getting for twenty years, starting with George Bush,

713
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: John McCain, Eric Cantor. How many times, how many different

714
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: ways can the American people say we want an end

715
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 1: to illegal immigration and we want our whole lot less

716
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: legal immigration, and every time Republicans run saying, um, oh, yes, absolutely,

717
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: we'll do something about the border. You just got to

718
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: give us a majority, just got to give us a majority.

719
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: And when not executive amnesty, the defunding came up. Um,

720
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't like Obamacare. There was no government shut down

721
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: at issue. As you will recall, they had passed all

722
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: the other spending bills except Homeland security. And that's what

723
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: what Obama had tied the executive amnescy to, which isn't

724
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: just oh, I'm not going to prosecute. It was giving

725
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: illegals all kinds of money and work permits. I mean

726
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: it was costing millions of dollars um probably probably up

727
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: into the billion um considering how many there are, all

728
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: of that has to go through Congress. Even Obama admitted

729
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: it was unconstitutional if if the House had refused to

730
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: or continued to pass that Homeland Security bill without the

731
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: exact the money for the executive amnescy, even if if

732
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Obama had vetoed it. As you know, about two hundred

733
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: thousand of two hundred and thirty thousand Homeland Security Department

734
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: employees are deemed essential employees. Nothing would be shut down.

735
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: A few secretaries wouldn't show up, there would be no

736
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: Social Security each checks at risk of not going out.

737
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: There would be no park closures. There was no risk

738
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: at all. And still Mitch McConnell um and the rest

739
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: of the Republicans betrayed the voters after promising to stop

740
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: Obama's executive amnesty if they were given a majority. And

741
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: you remember me coming on your TV show and yelling

742
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: at Republicans and saying, I don't care how bad the

743
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: Republican is, Um, this is not a time to be

744
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: pushing for purity. We need a Republican Senate. They did it.

745
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: They followed our instructions. They gave Republicans a huge majority

746
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: in the Senate, and then both the Senate and the

747
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: House went ahead and and approved Obama's executive amnesty. I mean,

748
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: that was just the cherry on top of that was

749
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: the straw that broke the camel's back Listen, I'm done

750
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: with all of those people. Do you understand I've had

751
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: it with every single one of them. I can't stand

752
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: most of these people anymore. And I'm gonna tell you

753
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: who's worse than anybody. All these Republicans that ran against Trump,

754
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: and Trump trounced every one of them. And they all

755
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: stood there on stage and they all raised their hand,

756
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and they all said that they support the nominee. And

757
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: the only one that didn't raise his hand eventually ended

758
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: up signing the pledge. But now you've got Jeb Bush,

759
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 1: Now you've got John Kasig, now you've got Lindsay Graham.

760
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: And I like Ted Cruz, but I'm very disappointed in

761
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: him too, because he also made the pledge. And and

762
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: to me, in my mind, well, they made a promise.

763
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: An No, of course, Trump has done this over and

764
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: over again. He extends the olive branch, he's the gentleman,

765
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: and then he gets his hand bit off by these people. Incidentally,

766
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: you will recall, Um, when you were being testy with

767
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Trump over not taking the pledge. There's about a two

768
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: week period. I went on your TV show and said, Um,

769
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to hear the other guys take the pledge

770
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: since I to support Trump. Um, because that's what I

771
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: figured it was going to be. And look at that

772
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: in front of twenty million people. They took that pledge

773
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: and now openly defied it comes to the convention. I mean,

774
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: he's reached out to his rivals. There's always a little

775
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: bit of bitterness, Um, when you lose an election. And

776
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: I will remind you that when Romney was wrapping up

777
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: the nomination in two thousand twelve, as each one of

778
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: his rivals dropped, they would endorse and no one but

779
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: rom Herman, Kaine, Rick Perry, new Gangridge, all of them.

780
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: You're always madest at the guy who just beat you.

781
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: I understand that that's that's a common sentiment. What's happening

782
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: this time is there are all sorts of media rewards.

783
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: If you stick to your sore loser, um, sour grapes posture, Oh,

784
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: you'll be in You'll be praised as one of the

785
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: respectable Republicans. It comes to the convention, Trump invites all

786
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: of his former rivals to come and speak. Um, if

787
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: you're not going to endorse him, don't come. But instead,

788
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: not only do you have Cruise coming and pointedly, um,

789
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: not endorsing him and recommending that people not vote for

790
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: him by saying vote your conscience, which was you know,

791
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 1: supposed to be the alternative. But you have in that

792
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: state Governor Kasik denouncing Trump refusing to show up. Um,

793
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: it really is shocking. And I'd added this at this point,

794
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: I have I have all new respect for for Bob Dole,

795
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: who is a good Republican and showed up instead of

796
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: course he's owning for the nominee. And I'd also remind

797
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: you there there is no amount of of of dislike

798
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump that can compete with my dislike for

799
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: John McCain. And you know, in the end, what do

800
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: you do you have to Once he wrapped it up,

801
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: I had to shut my mouth on John McCain. UM,

802
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: support the nominee. But mostly you know what you're supposed

803
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: to do if you're not wild about the nominee, besides

804
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: sucking it up and supporting him, is okay, fine, you

805
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: work on the other races. Work on the Senate and

806
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: the House races. We'll take care of the turkey. You

807
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: guys do the side dish and the dessert. Um. But no,

808
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: they won't even do that. It has to end. Why

809
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: because the media is rewarding anyone who attacks from I mean,

810
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: we didn't live through Goldwater or or Nixon even, but

811
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: I've certainly read a lot about those periods, and I

812
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: think what is what is being done to Trump is

813
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: absolutely unprecedented. It is just I'm not even watching no, no, no, there, listen.

814
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: It's open sabotage. And I don't look. I think you

815
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: see what I've been going through with these idiots from

816
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: National Review, in the Wall Street Journal and the New

817
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: York Times and everybody else. And it's Republicans want him

818
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: to lose as much as Democrats. I'm actually convinced Republican

819
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: leadership prefers Hillary. And the strange thing about this is, um,

820
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what they think they're winning. They say

821
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna have fifty years of bragging rights. But I

822
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Sean, the country is going to be over.

823
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: There will be no purpose to what you do, to

824
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: what I do to Fox News to talk radio. Hillary

825
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: has promised, who grant all of the illegals, and there

826
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: are thirty forty, maybe fifty million, grant them all amnesty.

827
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: That will, of course start another rush to the border.

828
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: She wants to more than quadruple the number of Muslim

829
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: refugees were bringing in. The entire country becomes California. Republicans

830
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: never win another election. And I know a lot of

831
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: people in talk radio and if Fox News think, oh,

832
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: Hillary is better for our bottom line, you really try

833
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: going to a Cubs game, go to a baseball game

834
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: when your team hasn't won a game for twenty years,

835
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: Because that's what Republicans are looking at. This is this.

836
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: I thought the in two thousand twelve with Omni it

837
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: was pretty much over. I held up out a tiny

838
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: little hope, which is why I wrote Adios America, and

839
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: thank god Donald Trump read it. This is it. This

840
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: is it. The country is at the tipping point. Maybe

841
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: it's already too late, and we'll find out in this election. Um,

842
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: but we still right there. We gotta take a break

843
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: and culters with us. She's gonna stay with us for

844
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,400

Speaker 1: bestseller in the New York Times. There it is. That's

850
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: the media. That's CNN getting yelled at by the crowd.

856
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: You know, I think I have interviewed you now for

857
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: every one of your books. I never book you for

858
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: a half hour because I can never get it in.

859
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: But the media is such a big story this year

860
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: and how abusively biased they are you and I went

861
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: through this in two thousand and seven and eight, when

862
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, I tried to do their job. I did

863
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: the vetting of Obama. Nobody paid attention to me, and

864
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: now the country suffering because of that horrible decision. And

865
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: I really look at the biggest campaign contributor to Hillary

866
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: is the media. No, that's right, and it's so much

867
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: worse now if it's hard to believe, I mean, at

868
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: least with Obama. And UM, don't jump on me for

869
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: saying this, it's it's good news he can't run for

870
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: another term. But I have to say, in in my lifetime,

871
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: Obama is absolutely the most elegant, articulate, charming, forget his

872
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: policies democrat they've run. Compare that the Hillary, who you know,

873
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: keeps doing that I don't know, like goose honking noise

874
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: when she talks, can'tl a press conference, Um, is just

875
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, up to her ears in corruption. And now

876
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: we have the tech editor of the New York Times,

877
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: UM commanding Google to to take down any stories about

878
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: Hillary's health. And why is that, Sean? Because Hillary says

879
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: her health is fine, and if you can't trust her

880
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: word on this, then what can you trust? Um? The

881
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: media has a lot more work to do with Hillary,

882
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: and boy are they up to the job with it. Also,

883
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: the New York Times, UM that Jim Rutenberg just admitting, no,

884
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: we're not going to be fair in our reporting. UM,

885
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: believe it. No, And and and I'm not using taking

886
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: lawyer's name and Thank god it's Donald Trump who fights back.

887
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this this is when the media really has

888
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: lost all credibility and it's got to be destroyed. It's

889
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: got to be discredited, the same way in the Soviet Union,

890
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: you know, religion was discredited. This is the time for

891
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: people to turn off their TV sets. UM pick specific

892
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: news outlets. I just it's you can't even keep up

893
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: with all the lives this nonsense we're going through today.

894
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, only the only the media can present the

895
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: same story they've been telling us for a year, as

896
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: if it's all new breaking news. Um. I mean, you

897
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: remember during the debates, there was all that hysteria about

898
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: about Trump's off the record interview. They all give off

899
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: the record interviews with the editorial board of the New

900
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: York Times, And Aha, he's not going to build the

901
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 1: wall anyway. I mean, he's always said, well, we'll see

902
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: how we deport. He's never admitted that it's only eleven million.

903
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: By the way, God bless him. Um, he insistently says, UM.

904
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: Probably a lot more than that. He cited the fact

905
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: that Dwight Eisenhower had something that was actually called at

906
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: the time Operation wet Back. UM, and by the way,

907
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: a term I believe was coined by Caesar Shawvez because

908
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: he knew it was driving down the wages um of

909
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: the Mexican great pickers in the United States. Um also, Jesse.

910
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, so let me ask this question the border.

911
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: But now suddenly trying to protect low wage jobs of Americans,

912
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: including Hispanic Americans, including black Americans. Protecting low wage jobs

913
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: of Americans is some sort of vicious thing to do.

914
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: Now this hysteria. Today, there may not be a deportation force.

915
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to ask you. Let me, let

916
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: me just give up, let me give a picture. And

917
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: this is what I want to ask you, because you

918
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: know what, You're very insightful. You've often heer ahead of

919
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: the curve, and I admire you for that a lot.

920
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: We've been friends for years. And here's my take on

921
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: where the country is now. So you have the biggest

922
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: liar ever to seek the office of the presidency. You

923
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: have the most ethically corrupt somebody who's sold access to

924
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: her office. Everybody knows she's a liar. And then we've

925
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: got let's see, we've got twelve million more Americans in

926
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: in poverty. And then when Obama took office. We have

927
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: forty six million Americans in poverty eight million I'm sorry,

928
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: towld million more on food stamps. Forties six million Americans

929
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: on food stamps. Fifty million Americans in poverty, eight million

930
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: more than when Obama came up into office. The lowest

931
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: labor participation rate since the seventies, the lowest home ownership

932
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: rate in fifty one years, the worst recovery since the forties.

933
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: You have one in five American families not a single

934
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: family member working. You got one in six American men

935
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty four either incarcerated or living in mommy

936
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: and Daddy's basement. You double the debt. They destroyed Libya,

937
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 1: They ruined a rack and cities we won like most

938
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: Ramadi to create Felucia and even Baghdad for crying out

939
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: loud and create an opening for Isis. They did the

940
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: same thing in Syria. You see what they have done

941
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: with Egypt, supporting an anti Semite in the name of

942
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: Mohammed Morsey at the time. They have destroyed everything. So

943
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: my question to you is why is this race even close?

944
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: And are you convinced that Trump wins this umslocuse of

945
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: the media, I mean it really is just lie after

946
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: lie that this this this is about him, Trump changing

947
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: his mind on amnesty over the weekend, and then immediately

948
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: we get reports from you know, a half dozen people

949
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: at the meeting saying, no, that didn't happen. He said

950
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: it would be humane. You know, looking at the deportations,

951
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: there's absolutely no way Trump is backing down on on

952
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: the general immigration plan. You know, I have a whole

953
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: chapter on this. It's just you know, a time, a

954
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: way to eat up time and an interview to attack Trump,

955
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: whose policies are very popular. All of the complaints with

956
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: Trump are stylistic. They're not on his issues. His issues

957
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: are fantastic, couldn't be better. But what they say is, oh,

958
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: no policy specifics, no policy specifics. But it's more than

959
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: that he is the only one giving policy specifics. I

960
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: mean even compared to his Republican rivals, whom I do

961
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: compare him doing the book. What was their position on

962
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: a wall? And now they wouldn't tell us It was

963
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: just so we need border security. People are frustrated. Politicians

964
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: have learned all of these will be Look, nothing's to say,

965
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: it's just a word salad to prevent them from answering

966
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: a question, how is Rubio going to bring back jobs? Well,

967
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: it's a new economy. And let me tell you how

968
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: Amazon does business. You ask Trump, he says, I'm going

969
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: to renegotiate trade deals. I'm going to bring manufacturing home.

970
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to shut down the dump of low wage

971
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: workers on the country. He has specific plans, but there's

972
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: even more than that. He's going to allow multinational corporations

973
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: to repatriate their money. That's trillions of dollars. He's going

974
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: to allow drilling and fracking and and more call mining

975
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: and nuclear power and will be energy independent. Look, there's

976
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: so much here. Here's this is what this race comes

977
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: down to for me. Do you want unvetted refugees that

978
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: every national intelligence leader has told us isis will infiltrate?

979
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Because there's a huge difference. Do you

980
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: want a wall built or not? Do you want better

981
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: trade deals? Do you want to fix the all built

982
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: or not? Hillary has has vowed that she will grant

983
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: the amnesty. She will take Obama's executive amnesty and um,

984
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, apply to all illegals. And by the way,

985
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: who is the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, He'll

986
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: be right there with her. The country has finished. If

987
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: Hillary is elected, there is no hope. Good luck winning

988
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: with nine. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's politics was fun. But but

989
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: it's adios America. Um, and I'll be writing mysteries. Um,

990
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: you'll probably get another year or two out of talking.

991
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: But there comes a point one. Nope, do you think

992
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: people care about local politics in California? I'll tell you

993
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: something else that changes in a quote multicultural society like

994
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: this is it's not just going to be the Chuck

995
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: Schumer Democrats against the Nancy Pelosi Democrats. What happens in

996
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: a multi cultural society? Um, as the President of Indonesia

997
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: warned um in the Financial Times about a decade ago,

998
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: and has happened in California. Oh no, No, it's ethnic

999
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: groups fighting with one another. In California, it's the you know,

1000
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: Asian Democrats against the Hispanic Democrats. Um, it all becomes

1001
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: a matter of ethnic politics. Um, what's the point of

1002
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, Fox News is clever arguments or or Paul

1003
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: Ryan talking about an opportunity society there, It has nothing

1004
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: to do with that. Just tell me you would vote

1005
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: for Okay, this guy's my ethnicity. That's who I'm voting for.

1006
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. When I go down Donald

1007
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: Trump's agenda, and for example, I looked at his Supreme

1008
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: Court justices and we compare it to who Hillary at

1009
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: a point you look at him on the wall. Hillary

1010
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: wants amnesty. Hillary wants to bring in a five increase,

1011
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: and refugees are intelligence officials say isis will infiltrate. Trump

1012
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: talks about extreme vetting. You look at the economy. She's

1013
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: raising taxes. He's gonna cut taxes, wants to reign in spending.

1014
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: You look at energy independence. She wants to put coal

1015
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: miners out of work, coal companies out of business. You know,

1016
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: go straight on down the list. Albamacare, she keeps it,

1017
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: probably doubles doubles down on it, and he's going to

1018
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: eliminate it. And wants free market you know, healthcare savings accounts.

1019
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: I know because I've interviewed him. So my question to

1020
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: you simple, You know, this is as big a choice

1021
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: election as we've ever had. The only difference complaints you

1022
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: have from quote some people that are Republican is stylistics.

1023
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: Why is this? Why aren't they If Donald Trump got

1024
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: the of the base of Republican support he'd win. Right now,

1025
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: he has about seventy and I would argue, I would

1026
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: argue it's because of the establishment in d C. The

1027
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: cry babies he ran against, and then you've got the

1028
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: National Review guys, and then you've got the Wall Street

1029
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: Journal guys, and then you've got the Bill Crystals, and

1030
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: then you got Mitt Romney and all these other guys

1031
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: sabotaging them. Well, this is chapter three of my book.

1032
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: And and these are all the people you happen to

1033
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: see on TV. UM. You'll get, you know, the the

1034
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: Hillary support on my show versus a Republican never Trumper um.

1035
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: So you know, you get both sides of the argument.

1036
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's against Trump. Um. But but what it almost seems

1037
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: like there's something in the water in Washington. Well, what

1038
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: it is is these we have this permanent bureaucracy. I

1039
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: sort of hate the phrase Republican establishment because it's been misused,

1040
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: but that is the best phrase for the Republican brain

1041
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: trust in Washington. It's the polsters, it's the consultants, it's

1042
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: the think tanks. They all are protecting not America, but

1043
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: the territorial interests of the Republican Party. Their salaries. They

1044
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: are making a lot of money by getting rich donors

1045
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: to contribute to them, and the donors think, oh, they

1046
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: might know how to win elections because they're expensive. Well,

1047
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we have nominie jib jib exclamation point. Now,

1048
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: then they don't know what they're doing. They're utterly useless.

1049
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: But they've been ripping off the donor class for a

1050
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: long time. Well, this is the election where we find

1051
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: out whether the donors actually have a Republican bone in

1052
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: their body or if they just want favors done for them.

1053
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: And I think we can pretty much right, So look

1054
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: at your crystal ball. Who's gonna win this race? Um,

1055
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: I still think Trump is going to win, but I'd say,

1056
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: you know, a more than fifty fifty chance. I was

1057
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: I on him winning the nomination. I'd say I'm about um,

1058
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, wins the presidency. So what do you make

1059
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: of the polls? Now? And and for example, I had

1060
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: a Twitter battle with Nate Silver I said, no, I

1061
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: believe pulse. I actually, I know some of the methodology

1062
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: is wrong, but I would say right now the race

1063
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: is tightened significantly in the last week. I think Trump

1064
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: being on prompter is a really smart thing for him

1065
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: to do, because the media is just looking to nippick

1066
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: him in a way they would never do to her

1067
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: about him more than nitpicking, just out right lies on

1068
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: the lie of him making fun of a disabled reporter.

1069
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,439
Speaker 1: It's nonsense. Well, and so at the end of the day,

1070
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: I think for him to stay on prompter and yes,

1071
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: give all the specifics he's giving, versus Hillary just trashing Trump,

1072
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a great distinction. I just can't believe

1073
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: that she's even in play, being as morally bankrupt and

1074
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: corrupt as she is and being the pathological or as

1075
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: Sapphire once said, congenital liar that she is. Yes, So

1076
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: she then corrected when when she complained and said, I

1077
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: meant pathological lawyer. Um, I don't know. I don't know.

1078
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: But there's plenty of time until the elect What do

1079
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: you make of the chatter that you're getting, I get

1080
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: as somebody that's supporting Trump, that all these people, the

1081
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: establishment types, the National Review, Weekly Standard, Wall Street journal people,

1082
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: what do you make of their opposition to him? Um?

1083
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it's all a matter of their own their

1084
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: own power and who who butters their bread? Um Like

1085
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: I say, I mean with the poulterers and the consultants.

1086
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: It's the don't ears. Um. The Republican Party until Trump

1087
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: was perfectly happy to get of the business roundtable vote,

1088
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: and you know, of the regular vote. Trump has turned

1089
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: that upside down. He wants he wants a majority of

1090
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: the regular person vote, and he is getting regular people.

1091
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: Those people, unfortunately don't get invited on TV. Don't write

1092
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: for the Wall Street Journal. I mean, the Wall Street

1093
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: Journal has always been open borders. Um, they're serving the plutocrats.

1094
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: It's it's good for the very rich. I mean, you

1095
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: wonder why we have this massive income inequality. Um. Look,

1096
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: there's always going to be some income inequality in a

1097
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: free capitalist system. But that's not what's happening now. Now.

1098
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: It is being done by design to screw over the

1099
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: middle class, on the working class in America. Um, so

1100
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: that the rich can buy an extra island. I mean,

1101
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: the difference between the very rich and the middle class

1102
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: is unlike you have to go back to the Tsar's

1103
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: court for something like this. And this is being done

1104
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: by design. Trump is absolutely right. The system is corrupt,

1105
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: it is rigged, it is designed. Both parties have been

1106
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: working over time to give Wall Street a blank check

1107
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: to give the Chamber of Commerce a blank check and

1108
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: screw over average Americans. And I think as long as

1109
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: Trump makes that point clear and stix to his gone,

1110
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: if you we build that, you build the boarder wall,

1111
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: and guess what, you know it's going to benefit disproportionately.

1112
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: Black Americans have suffered because of illegal immigration, more people

1113
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: competing for fewer jobson Americans out of the labor force.

1114
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: And it's not only are they losing those jobs. In

1115
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: many instances if they do get a job, well, the

1116
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: labor rates have been driven down because of the increased competition. Yes, no,

1117
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: Trump is absolutely right about that, and I really got

1118
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: to run them. Okay, alright, but listen, it's called in

1119
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: Trump We Trust and culture destined to be her thirteenth

1120
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: New York Times Best Well, I hate to correct you

1121
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: on that, but I think I should. All right, sorry, uh,

1122
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: twelve time New York Times bestselling author. I'm just jumping

1123
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: the gun a week before they have to put your

1124
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: name in there again, and literally they'll be cringing the

1125
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: entire time. Anyway, Eplura was awesome, and it's on Hannity

1126
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: dot com. It's on Amazon dot com and as of

1127
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow bookstores everywhere. Ms Culter, We love you. It's been

1128
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: a while. Good to talk to you, as always good

1129
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: to talk by time and again Hillary Clinton has stood

1130
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: up to President in Bush and stood up for us

1131
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: rooftop were stranding in the Superdome ding you you're invisible

1132
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: to this president, even when you're on CNN. You are

1133
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: not invisible to me. And you should never be invisible

1134
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: to the President of the United States. Because when the

1135
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast extended their

1136
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: hand for help, help was not there. When people looked

1137
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: up from the rooftops for too long, they saw an

1138
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: empty sky. When the winds blew and the floodwaters came,

1139
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: we learned that for all of our wealth and our power,

1140
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: something wasn't right with America. We can talk about what

1141
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: happened for a few days and two thousand and five,

1142
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: and we should. We can talk about levies that couldn't hold,

1143
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: about a FEMA that's seemed not just incompetent, but paralyzed

1144
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and powerless, About a president who only saw the people

1145
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: from the window of an airplane instead of down here

1146
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: on the ground trying to provide comfort and aid. We

1147
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: we can talk about a trust that was broken, the

1148
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: promise that our government will be prepared, will protect us

1149
01:01:23,120 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: and will respond in a catastrophe. Let your Mr Trump,

1150
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: Mr trunk Trump, Mr Trump, we lost every day. This

1151
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: makes that don't there goes love? Mr tr What does

1152
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: you want to come here about? What's your missing? Help

1153
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: out everybody? What did you lose him? What does it

1154
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: mean to have the Donald Trump here? Um, let's see,

1155
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I didn't lose anything compared to what a lot of

1156
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: people lost. I'm okay. It's materialistic things. They can be

1157
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: replaced having Trump here to that mental lot to you.

1158
01:02:55,880 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, we're going all Americas out to wake

1159
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: up Donald Trumps the way to wake us up. He's

1160
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: waking America up. He's gotta get busy. America's gotta get

1161
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: behind him. Without America getting by and Donald Trump, we're

1162
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna lose, and we're gonna lose bigger than this flood

1163
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: ever did. So America's got a wake up. Damn a

1164
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Republican demo Democrat, it's America. It's America's not in the

1165
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: stand up and take back America. I'd like to take

1166
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: a moment to talk about the heartbreak and devastation in Louisiana,

1167
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: a state that is very very special to me. We

1168
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:39,919
Speaker 1: are one nation. When one state hurts, we all hurt,

1169
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: and we must all work together to lift each other up, working, building,

1170
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: restoring together. Our prayers are with the families who have

1171
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: lost loved ones, and we send them our deepest condolences.

1172
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Through words not express the sadness one feels at times

1173
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: like this. I hope everyone in Louisiana knows that our

1174
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: country is praying for them and standing with them to

1175
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: help them in these difficult hours. They are very, very difficult.

1176
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: All right, there are the sights and sounds. Glad you

1177
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: with us News Roundup and Information Overload hour Here on

1178
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. We are in Baton Rouge. We

1179
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: spent the majority of the day this morning looking at

1180
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: just I mean, I can't even words, can't even describe it.

1181
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I kept saying to the camera crew, make sure you

1182
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: get the magnitude of this. It's it's it was the devastation,

1183
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: street after street after street, home after home, neighborhood after neighborhood,

1184
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: and we were out there and I'm just stunned this

1185
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: has not been a nationally covered story. The way it

1186
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: needs to be covered. And I literally was talking to

1187
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: people in the Trump campaign and I talked to him too,

1188
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: and he said, you have no idea how bad this is.

1189
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: And it's that bad and even worse, it's unbelievable. Anyway,

1190
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Romero is with us. He's a guy that was

1191
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: out there trying to save people with his boat. Greg Howell,

1192
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: he's from Alabama, literally drove here to Louisiana and both

1193
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: are with with this navy that's called the Cajun Navy,

1194
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: which is a group of private citizens that literally joined

1195
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: together via Facebook to help all these people, and they

1196
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: saved a lot of lives. If it wasn't for these guys,

1197
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: these people would not have made it. And I've had

1198
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: more than like a dozen people tell me that since

1199
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I've been on the ground here in Baton Rouge. Anyway,

1200
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: they're all afflicted with these floods and also with us.

1201
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: As our friend and talk show host C. L. Briant's son,

1202
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Louis Cleon Brian, he lives here in Baton Rouge. He's

1203
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: been impacted by these floods. His home was completely destroyed. Uh,

1204
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: let me start with you, Louis. I'm gonna call you

1205

01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: So it's uh, first, our thoughts and prayers go out

1209
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: to you. And I've been out there, you know, it's

1210
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: just in Livingston Parish. I can't believe everything I've seen,

1211
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: and I can't believe nobody's paying attention to this. Yeah,

1212
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was the biggest thing for

1213
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: me and my wife, Like, we started talking to people

1214
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: out of state and they didn't even know what was

1215
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: going on, and it was just it was just unbelievable

1216
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: to even imagine that it really is. And I mean

1217
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, I mean, I know, the

1218
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: president deserves a vacation. I don't begrudge anybody a vacation.

1219
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has more vacations than anybody I've

1220
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: ever met in my life. But it is more vacation

1221
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: in a year than I've had in the last dight.

1222
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: But but for crying out loud, I mean all of well,

1223
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, I mean the images now that I've

1224
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: seen it up close, the images of what was happening here,

1225
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's up on a t and

1226
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: Hillary is too busy to come down because she's got

1227
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: a rest, she's too tired. And it's pretty unbelievable. And

1228
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: uh so you lost your entire home. I mean, I'm

1229
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: not I'm glad to hear you're laughing, but you know,

1230
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: I talked to people that were in tears today. Yeah,

1231
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's been hard, but you know, it's

1232
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: a day by day saying. And at the end of

1233
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: the day, you know, as long as my family made

1234
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: it out safe. You know, it's a lot of people

1235
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: that weren't as fortunate as me and as me and

1236
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: my family, So you know, it's just it's just happy

1237
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: to see us pulling through it. And this is happy

1238
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: to see how much we banded together to overcome such

1239
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 1: a thing, you know, in the midst of such devastation.

1240
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: This happened at nine eleven where I was in New York,

1241
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and I see it down here in Baton Rouge. You

1242
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: get people like Ryan Romero, guy with a boat that

1243
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to help people. And Greg Howell from Alabama.

1244
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: You guys, you drove all the way from Alabama to

1245
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: help the people here in Louisiana and you helped form

1246
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: this Cajun Navy. I talked to a guy that was

1247
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: a part of it earlier today and literally they're talking

1248
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: about thousands of people that you guys got out of

1249
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: their homes which was flooded with water and to safety.

1250
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Tell us, tell us your side of the story, Ryan,

1251
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: tell everybody what happened. Uh, hey, guys, this is Ryan.

1252
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: What's up, Brian? So you have a boat, so you

1253
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: went out and you just started saving people? Yeah, pretty much. Man.

1254
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I heard about what was going on, and and I

1255
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: was actually in the process of cleaning a bunch of

1256
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: clothes out of the house and I had them all

1257
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: fathered up. I said, you know, if I'm gonna go

1258
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: that way, I'm not gonna go that way. Just go

1259
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: to livers and clothes. So I hope on my boat

1260
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 1: you found me a room and laughing yet and I

1261
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: got there and I had to drive the Baton rouge

1262
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: every day, but it didn't matter, you know. You know, um,

1263
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: if how many people do you think you got out

1264
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: of of their homes with your boat? And what do

1265
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: you think would have happened if people like you didn't

1266
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: show up with these people have made it, man. I

1267
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: don't know if they would have made it night. I

1268
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: know there was a lot of people out there risking

1269
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,719
Speaker 1: on their own. That's probably say, I probably say thirty

1270
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: thirty or forty uh not how many of these were

1271
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: elderly people. That and again from the people that I

1272
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: talked to, the currents were pretty strong, right, Yeah, there

1273
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: was the spots. I mean there was turns were very

1274
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: strong in some spots. Uh. There there were quite a

1275
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: few houray people. Um, you know. The other was really

1276
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: you know, that's the one that that really needed to

1277
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: help most out of anybody. Yeah. You know, I actually

1278
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: ran into an elderly woman today and she let me

1279
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: tour her house. There's nothing left. I mean the water

1280
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: was literally six ft high in her house or like

1281
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, it was that high, and everything in

1282
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 1: that house was destroyed. And as we went down these blocks,

1283
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean everybody. What was amazing is nobody has helped

1284
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: anybody except family members and friends and neighbors. They all

1285
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of you know, we're banding together, and and literally

1286
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: every house you have to take everything out. Everything is

1287
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: on the front long ready to be picked up, and

1288
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: it's it goes on for blocks and blocks and blocks,

1289
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: and blocks and blocks. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty devastating and

1290
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: being over there and seeing all that first hand. Uh,

1291
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it was crazy. It was definitely emotional. On

1292
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the first two days in the afternoons when we get back,

1293
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: I said outside, it gets pretty emotional for me. So yeah,

1294
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: And what was it like for you? I mean, you're

1295
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: a part of this Cajun Navy. What was it like

1296
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: for you? Hey, Sean, how you doing, buddy? I'm so sorry.

1297
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: So you you literally drove from Alabama to come up

1298
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: here and help your friends in Louisiana. The tallest part

1299
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: of what you were doing as part of relief effort.

1300
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: I got in kind of on the late part of it.

1301
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I was at work when it all too place, Shan,

1302
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I flew in. I got off Doug boat Captain. So

1303
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: when I got off Monday and flew in, got home

1304
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: and my wife and was telling her about it. And

1305
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: we was at home for probably about three hours after

1306
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: getting home from the airport, and we just made a

1307
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Facebook post that we was heading that way, and anybody

1308
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,560
Speaker 1: that wanted to send stuff with us, you know, we

1309
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: picked it up. We went over there that night, got

1310
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: there in Baton Rouge round eleven o'clock, dropped that first

1311
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: load of supplies off to a church on Jupi Road

1312
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: and went back home. Got in about five thirty the

1313
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: next morning. Took a couple hour and app got up

1314
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: and we had phone calls from all over our area

1315
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: over here in Alabama, two different counties, and uh, it

1316
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: was just more than I could do by myself. So

1317
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine, ty Casey, joined up

1318
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: with us and meet him and my wife split up.

1319
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: He ran errands and picked up all the donations and

1320
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: had it back over there that afternoon, which was Tuesday

1321
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: morning or no, yeah, Tuesday morning. Afternoon. We got back

1322
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: over there and we took a boat with us that

1323
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: time that a friend of mine had loaned me to

1324
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: go over there because mine wouldn't have been any any

1325
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: use over there as a fiber last boat, but he

1326
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: had at let me ask you this, as as a

1327
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: tugboat guy, you understand current's probably better than most people.

1328
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: So from your perspective, how dangerous was it? Because, for example,

1329
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: when I was hanging out and one of the parishes

1330
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: with the local sheriff, I mean, a really great guy.

1331
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: When I was hanging out with him from Livingston, Paris.

1332
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: The guy's name is Sheriff Jason Ard. I mean it was.

1333
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: He said they lost one person and he said it

1334
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: was a miracle we didn't lose more. Oh, yeah, it

1335
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 1: was the I think that the run that stood out

1336
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: more with me was the night we had to go

1337
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: and late late at night and go to a golf

1338
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: cart community down to the Virgin Canal and uh, the

1339
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: majority of the boats that was over there, when you

1340
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: know a little small small illuminum gifts, you know, toy

1341
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: or fourteen feet long, small horsepower engines. We was able

1342
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: to get this boat that I had brought with me,

1343
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 1: and uh, there was another fellow had a surface drive

1344
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: twin screw with two engines on it. There was a

1345
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: pretty big boat. We used the two bigger boats and

1346
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: loaded both of them down. Was I had just about

1347
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: a whole palata of water in my boat and we

1348
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: run down to Diversion Canal. They're about three or four

1349
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: miles I think it was, and it was it was

1350
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,879
Speaker 1: pretty rough. Current was horrible, you know what. For example,

1351
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: the sheriff described to me, and we passed this one

1352
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: nursing home, I think it had seventy patients in it.

1353
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: And he's described and they're all on oxygen. Some of

1354
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: them are bedridden. I mean they were, you know, just

1355
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: just clearing out that one nursing home was unbelievably difficult. Yeah,

1356
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: I can imagine it was. It was golf community and

1357
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 1: they were out of supplies completely, and we was able

1358
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: to get down there that night and we delivered. I

1359
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: think it was enough for like a o the meals

1360
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: that we brought down there in one ruin between the

1361
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: two boats. And uh yeah, That's the other thing I

1362
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: heard is everybody got together. I mean I saw is

1363
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, all the churches have gotten together. I know,

1364
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: my good friend Reverend Franklin Graham Samaritan's first they've been here.

1366
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: of people. He's helping everybody out. There was a headline

1367
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: in one of the local papers here borrow churches. So

1368
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: like some of the churches that were under water, well

1369
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: they were able to borrow, you know, a church where

1370
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: they didn't have flooding. I mean, it's a pretty cool

1371
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: story about people coming together. It's really amazing. You know,

Speaker 1: I'm good Seawan and welcome. Welcome to Baton Rouge. Um.

1414
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: I am actually from Gonzale in Ascension Parish and we

1415
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: were we were hit very hard as well. Uh. But

1416
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, the true story here isn't This isn't a tragedy.

1417
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: This is actually a victory. Uh. We learned our lesson Katrina.

1418
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: We can't wait on the federal government. Individuals stepped up,

1419
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: gotten boats and and rescued neighbors and friends and strangers.

1420
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 1: And we didn't wait around for the government to take

1421
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: care of us. And that's how it's supposed to be.

1422
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: And that's how this country was was formed and created.

1423
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: And that's that's the victory here. Uh. And it's not

1424
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 1: just the boats. Everybody in our community is is going

1425
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:26,839
Speaker 1: to evacuation centers and volunteering, washing clothes for people, gutting houses,

1426
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: just doing whatever needs to be done to help their

1427
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: their neighbors and friends and like I said, even strangers.

1428
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 1: You know, that's the story everybody keeps telling me because

1429
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: the government wasn't even here. They're not even available. I mean,

1430
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: the most incredible part of this story is exactly what

1431
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: you said. And um, it's like everybody that had a

1432
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: boat got in their boat and started rescuing people. I mean,

1433
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 1: this happened so quickly, so fast, and you know, I

1434
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: talked to the local sheriffs. I mean, then you've got

1435
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: the National Guard, and then you've got you know, you know,

1436
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: the average guy that works for sheriff Alter we had

1437
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: on earlier in the program today, do you know the

1438
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: average they work sixty straight hours before they slept even

1439
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: one hour. I mean that's how everybody was working. Yeah,

1440
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: And in the local government, the local sheriff's departments, the

1441
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: first responders have been great. The state has been good,

1442
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: but it takes them too long, and it takes a

1443
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: state too long. It takes a federal government way too long.

1444
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: And we know that we didn't wait on them. Ascension Parish, Shawn,

1445
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: my daughter's high school was flooded. They're telling us by

1446
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: the way I saw, I saw a number of those

1447
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: high schools. I saw a ton of those high schools

1448
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: that were flooded. And every school, potentially that high school

1449
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: is going to be back up and running in four

1450
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: to six weeks, which is incredible because Ascension Parish has

1451
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: funds in place, private funds to help clean up this

1452
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: these schools, and they're doing it. They're not waiting for

1453
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: the state. They it's already started. That's incredible itself was incredible.

1454
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: My my wife's elements, she said, well, elementary teacher, her

1455
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: school is flooded. My kids half of my got half

1456
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: five kids, I'm of them go there. So I'm gonna

1457
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: go to the high school. Uh there there. It looks

1458
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: like they're going to be back in a school somewhere

1459
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: um next week, which is incredible because the devastation, as

1460
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: you said, you cannot the pictures don't show it. You

1461
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: have to see it in person. Is unbelievable, now, you know.

1462
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: And that's what I kept saying to everybody. When I

1463
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: kept saying to my my television crew, these are people

1464
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: I've worked with with twenty years. I mean, they're the

1465
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: best people in the business. And I kept saying, guys,

1466
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure you show this because you can't

1467
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: capture it until you see it. The flood zone areas,

1468
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: the areas that are no I know, and a lot

1469
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: of these people that I met today they don't have

1470
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: flood insurance and they don't have the money to rebuild

1471
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: their homes. And their homes are done. I mean maybe

1472
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: you can keep the outside because a lot of the

1473
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: homes are made out of brick, but they're still gonna

1474
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: have to be treated. I mean, the tendency for mold

1475
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: to come into any of this. You have to rip

1476
01:18:56,080 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: everything out. Everything's got to be gutted, yep. Have to

1477
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: treat them and formal and and it's gonna be a long,

1478
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 1: slow process, but we'll do it. I mean we were

1479
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 1: and it's you know what, it's not Louisiana, it's America.

1480
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: These types of communities are all over this country and

1481
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 1: we need to quit being silent. That's the problem. We

1482
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: are letting the loudmouth complainers get all the publicity while

1483
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: the hard working Americans are getting the short end of

1484
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the stick. And we have to start speaking of Yeah,

1485
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you listen, you're in our thoughts and prayers.

1486
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm very very impressed at how how people are able

1487
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: to do this on their own, and I'm really disappointed

1488
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 1: that there haven't been more people that have come to

1489
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: your rescue and support. And it's like the nation when dark.

1490
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable. And I didn't know myself until

1491
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, I started talking to some of my friends

1492
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: in the Trump campaign, and then I talked to him

1493
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: at one point. And everybody's kept telling me, you have

1494
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: no you gotta get down here. They all kept saying,

1495
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 1: you gotta get down here, you gotta get down here.

1496
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: And so I I'm coming. I'm coming. It's tremendous and

1497
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: it's very help. Do you do you realize the woman

1498
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: that lost three homes in this whole thing came up

1499
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: and hugged me and said thank you for being here.

1500
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, whoa, hello, Uh, you're the one that's

1501
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: suffering here. I should be hugging you. Well. And it's

1502
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,639
Speaker 1: too late for Obama and Hillary to show up now

1503
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: for a photo of we don't need him. We don't

1504
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: need him, and it's not gonna it's gonna cause more

1505
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: uh confusion and logistical problem. Just stay away, we don't

1506
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: need it. Yeah, I hear what you're saying. Well, he's

1507
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: coming tomorrow. He got off the links for five minutes,

1508
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: and I guess we've seen you know. It's sort of

1509
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 1: like the Democratic Convention. They had to be shamed into

1510
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: putting an American flag up on the stage for crying

1511
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: out loud. It's so stupid. Now they're coming. Donald Trump

1512
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: comes down here on his own, you know. And I

1513
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: actually asked him. I had a this was all fair.

1514
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: I'll ask him tomorrow at the town hall. I said, well,

1515
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: what made you decide to go? I was talking to

1516
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: him and he said to me, well, I'm watching TV

1517
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: and like nobody's helping these people. And he goes, how

1518
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: many more coffins do I need to see floating down

1519
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the street before somebody goes down to try and bring

1520
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: at least a little awareness to this, And and and I

1521
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: thought he did it the right way. He said, I

1522
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: don't want any press. They didn't even bring the press

1523
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: that usually travels with him. They just took off and left.

1524
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, this is going to be a very very

1525
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: long process of bringing you, guys back to the place

1526
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: you need to be. And you're in our thoughts and prayers.

1527
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Lola is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kay r MG, what's up, Lola?

1528
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: How are you? And welcome to baton rouge um Hi Sean.

1529
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: I am honestly a little bit frustrated and I'm pretty

1530
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: angry at this point at what's been going on in

1531
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: the media. Yesterday, I saw a video of Donald Trump

1532
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: standing out in the hot August Louisiana heat with Mike

1533
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: pent and they were handing out and unloading, like he

1534
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: was standing there and unloading the back of a semi truck.

1535
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: And the media has and I guess now they're backpedaling

1536
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: and retracting it, but they were saying, how, oh, he's

1537
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: only down there for a photo of and everything. And

1538
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: that really kind of made me angry because when you

1539
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: watch that video, he's down there working. You know, he's

1540
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: standing out there in the hot sun. He's not just

1541
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: driving by in some armored suv and looking out the

1542
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: window and going, oh, yeah, that looks really sad. You know, Um,

1543
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: He's actually down there doing stuff. And another thing I

1544
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: want to know is why is the Clinton's Family Foundation

1545
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: not helping out? You know, I heard today that they

1546
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 1: took a thirty two million dollar donation from the Crown

1547
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 1: Prince of ball Rain. You know, why are they not

1548
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 1: sending some of that down to aid the families in Louisiana?

1549
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, where are they? And they have the audacity

1550
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: to go and say something bad about Donald Trump going

1551
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: down there, Oh, he's only there for a photo op. Well,

1552
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I think the best thing that he did was what

1553
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: others didn't do. And that's called the nation's attention to

1554
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: what's going on down here. And and you know, I

1555
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: watched even some of the coverage. I'm like, all right,

1556
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: I saw the I saw the coffins floating down the street.

1557
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell is going on here? And

1558
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: then I started talking to people, and then I talked

1559
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: to people that we hear that. I talked to the

1560
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: Trump people, and then I talked to other people. I'm like,

1561
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,600
Speaker 1: we're going to baton rouge. That's what I said, And

1562
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I said, and and the idea is to show the

1563
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: country just how bad this has been. And you know

1564
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: the fact that everybody here did it on their own

1565
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: is even that much more impressive. But so, yeah, it

1566
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: really is. It's amazing, you know. And and and the

1567
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: fact is that, you know, the the video that I

1568
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: saw of Donald Trump when he was unloading that truck

1569
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: is there were some media down there and they tried

1570
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: to ask him some questions and he wouldn't answer their questions.

1571
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: He said, I'm just here to help and kind of

1572
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 1: blew them off, and they went inside to go do

1573
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: something else. And I know that they said they didn't

1574
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: want the press and they asked the press to stay away,

1575
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: and you know what, which is the right way to

1576
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: do it. But you know, and and from what I hear,

1577
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: he's been pretty generous and trying to help people. So anyway,

1578
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Lolo, God bless you for one Seawan.

1579
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. Uh,

1580
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: let us go to Michael is in California. Michael, we're

1581
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: down here sending our love down to Baton Rouge. What's

1582
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,639
Speaker 1: going on, sir? Hey? Uh, I just want to tell

1583
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: you I appreciate everything you're doing, and the people of

1584
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Louise Gash know that country's prayers are with them. Yeah,

1585
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 1: thank you, buddy, preciate it. I'm sure they appreciate it. Oh.

1586
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I know, hey, you know, I hate to bring it

1587
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: up now because you know, we're working here as a country.

1588
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: We're not going against everybody. The only creep I got

1589
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: right now, I got a little beef with you. I'm

1590
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: a good so, I'm a big fan. I'm a conservative. Yeah,

1591
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, I wish you would just stop throwing Cruise

1592
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: into the same pile as the rest of these guys.

1593
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: You know, casic is uh. I don't know what to

1594
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: call him. I don't want to use any foul language.

1595
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: But he was had his convention in his own state

1596
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: and he couldn't even show up. But you know, Ted Cruz,

1597
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,480
Speaker 1: he's a man of the people. He's a good conservative.

1598
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 1: He believes in the Constitution, the Bill of Right. You know,

1599
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: he's never said anything that told people not to vote

1600
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: for Trump. And you know, even Trump said on the

1601
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: on the during the primaries that if tables returned and

1602
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,759
Speaker 1: Cruise would have treated Trump the way that Trump treated Cruise,

1603
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: he wouldn't endorse him either. So I think you got

1604
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: to give him a little bit of a break there. Look,

1605
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I've always liked Ted Cruz, I and I know it

1606
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,839
Speaker 1: got very very brutal between them. I've said this many times.

1607
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 1: The politics is not for the faint hearted. It's a

1608
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: blood sport. But with that said, he gave his word,

1609
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm assuming Ted Cruz wants to

1610
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 1: run again and be president. And you know, one of

1611
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: the first things you got to ask him at that

1612
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: point as well, how do we trust you? Now? I

1613
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit because you know, when

1614
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: other Republicans were weak and timid. He stood up and

1615
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: he did the filibuster on Obamacare and spending and and

1616
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: he was trying to push Republicans to have a backbone.

1617
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 1: I give him all the credit in the world for that.

1618
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: I've always liked him. I liked him during the campaign.

1619
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: And Uh, I'm just disappointed because I think, you know,

1620
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: the what's the alternative here? This is not something I

1621
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,719
Speaker 1: have to think long and hard about. Let's say Trump

1622
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: or Hillary. You know, court justices, refugees, you know the border, Obamacare,

1623
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: energy independence, Uh, schools back to the States. I don't

1624
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: have to think about this, and neither should any other

1625
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 1: Republican or conservative or won the calls themselves that. And

1626
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I think this has been extraordinarily harmful in terms of

1627
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Trump being able to show up the base of the party,

1628
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: and if he could show up just the base, I

1629
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: think he wins a selection pretty handily. And I think

1630
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: all those undermining him and sabotaging him are hurting that

1631
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: potential from happening, and cruises undermining Trump at all. I

1632
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 1: don't think he's going out, well he's not, but listen,

1633
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: by not endorsing him, I think it's he made a

1634
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: promise he'd endorsed the winner, and I know he I

1635
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: know he got piste off over. You know what Trump

1636
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: said in the Battle the day I'm walking forth, Well,

1637
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: I look as I said. But let me tell you

1638
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 1: how An interviewed Ted Cruise a lot during that time.

1639
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: He was pretty brutal on Trump tune. Maybe not as personal,

1640
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: but it was pretty brutal. And so they think I

1641
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 1: don't think he got personally. I think that was the

1642
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: difference there, and I think I think it's fair. But

1643
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: I think he needs to jump on period. That's how

1644
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: I feel. Well. I think if they're gonna have to

1645
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: do it as a team, the two of them are

1646
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: gonna have to get together and they're gonna have to

1647
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: straighten out their issues because I think they're strong together,

1648
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 1: because Cruise is going to be a great fighter in

1649
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: the Senate for us. All right, stay right there. Say

1650
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: hi to Doug in Pasadena, California. Doug, Say hi to

1651
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Michael in California. What's going on? Hi? Michael? How are you?

1652
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm good man. I disagree with what you're saying. I mean,

1653
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Truz Cruise gave his word. He should have stood by

1654
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: his word, and every time that he gives a mixed message. Uh,

1655
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: he's helping Hillary every time. And it's not just true,

1656
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: It's not just Cluise, it's people like Back and even Levine.

1657
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 1: They are not getting behind the Trump train. And he's

1658
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: the only option here between Trump and Hillary. Oh no,

1659
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: I agree that Trump is our only option and he's

1660
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna do something great. But uh, you know, he gave

1661
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: my eyes, he gave Cruise the pass and said, look,

1662
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been doing by the way, my buddy

1663
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: Levin has been saying a lot of good things about

1664
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: Trump and his speeches and the speeches he gave last week,

1665
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: and so he said a lot of things. I think

1666
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: Becca is off the rails, but that's his own choice

1667
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: and problems and whatever he wants to do as his business.

1668
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't care Mark anytime any Really, he's taking shots

1669
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump. I haven't heard his speeches. I've just

1670
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: heard his program, and I do you know I'm saying

1671
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: that he I'm saying that he's been saying nice things

1672
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: about the direction of Trump and the things that he's

1673
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: been saying, because he told me personally, and I know

1674
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: he's been saying it on his program. But you know,

1675
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: I think Beca's dug a hole for himself. And you

1676
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 1: know what, Look, I'm standing where I am. I am

1677
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: saying to everybody here that if Hillary appoints Supreme Court nominees,

1678
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: you guys, you never trumpers, you own it. If you

1679
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 1: don't get a wall built, and immigrants legal immigrants kill Americans,

1680
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: which has happened, you own it. If refugees kill people,

1681
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: you own that too, because those are all problems that

1682
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: can be solved if Trump becomes president. Same thing with refugees,

1683
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 1: same thing with Obamacare, same thing with record deficit debts,

1684
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,919
Speaker 1: and people out of the labor force, you guys own

1685
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: if the coal miners are put out of business, out

1686
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: of work, and coal mining companies out of business, you

1687
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 1: own that too. So you get what you will get.

1688
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: You will reap the rewards of your decision. It's not

1689
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: a matter anymore. Sixteen people, seventeen people versus one. It's
