Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt Wednesday, September twenty eighth edition of the program.
Speaker 1: We have a massive hurricane making landfall here in the
Speaker 1: US in Florida, Hurricane Ian, with winds that will range
Speaker 1: from one hundred and fifty to up to one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty miles an hour. The storm surge is going
Speaker 1: to be tremendous. We want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: the preparations and what is expected here from this hurricane. Also,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the commander in chief President of the United States,
Speaker 1: called out today to a member of Congress who passed
Speaker 1: away recently. A young woman who died in a car
Speaker 1: crash has people asking is the President all there? You
Speaker 1: will not believe. You will not believe the direction the
Speaker 1: White House goes with this to try to clean it
Speaker 1: up afterwards. Plus, we have the Nordstream pipeline sabotage that
Speaker 1: countries are pointing at saying it looks like the natural
Speaker 1: gas pipeline of the ball Think that connects Russia to
Speaker 1: Germany has been sabotaged and is going to be empty
Speaker 1: of gas in just a matter of days. Who did
Speaker 1: this and what are the implications geopolitically for Russia, Ukraine,
Speaker 1: that whole situation. We will break that down. And then
Speaker 1: a follow up to Eric Adams yesterday saying that Kansas
Speaker 1: doesn't have a brand, but New York does. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: New York brand is something we are going to be
Speaker 1: discussing here in just a second. But I love the

Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. So here we have governed a santists telling
Speaker 1: everybody earlier today what's going on here. You're saying, treat
Speaker 1: this hurricane which is which is hitting Florida today right now,
Speaker 1: it is making its way across the peninsula that is
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. He's saying, treat this like you
Speaker 1: would treat a tornado that is going to hit you.
Speaker 1: Much of southern Florida's already experiencing impacts from the storm
Speaker 1: as it moves closer to landfall. There have been several
Speaker 1: tornado warnings issued during the overnight hours, and we expect
Speaker 1: to see that continue today. A storm of this magnitude
Speaker 1: will produce catastrophic flooding and life threatening storm surge on
Speaker 1: the Gulf Coast to Florida, and the highest risk areas
Speaker 1: are ranging from Collier County up to Sarasota County. The
Speaker 1: current track has the storm making landfall in Charlotte County.
Speaker 1: If you are in any of those counties, it's no
Speaker 1: longer possible to safely evacuate. It's time to hunker down
Speaker 1: and prepare for this storm. This is a powerful storm
Speaker 1: that should be treated like you would treat if a
Speaker 1: tornado was approaching. Treat it like the approach of a tornado.
Speaker 1: When you see that they're estimating the winds could get
Speaker 1: up to one hundred and eighty miles an hour. The
Speaker 1: gusts I should say it could get up to one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty miles. Some are even saying one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety miles an hour. That is the wind force
Speaker 1: within a tornado. They're going to be wind speed sustained
Speaker 1: wind speeds of one hundred and fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 1: This is going to destroy structures. This is going to
Speaker 1: create flooding that will be similar to storm surge flooding
Speaker 1: will be similar to a tsunami. So the way that
Speaker 1: this is going to look, the way that the effect
Speaker 1: on the ground will be similar to a massive tornado
Speaker 1: with massive flooding similar to what you would see at
Speaker 1: a tsunami situation. So this is going to test Florida
Speaker 1: to the maximum. And thoughts and prayers go to everybody
Speaker 1: in the state right now who is dealing with this,
Speaker 1: and if you're hunkering down or if you're you're concerned
Speaker 1: in your part of the state right now, we are
Speaker 1: thinking about you. I will say this is one of
Speaker 1: those moments where there's a recognition having a governor like
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santist, who is really smart and really capable and
Speaker 1: on it is an advantage. It matters. It makes a difference.
Speaker 1: They've been preparing in advance of this for days and
Speaker 1: days before it was even clear Florida was going to
Speaker 1: get hit. They were mobilizing. A reporter tried to do
Speaker 1: the oh, but you know, I've heard from somebody who
Speaker 1: says that you're not doing enough to prepare, and a
Speaker 1: governor is like, knock that crap off. Indispritor Chris Wall
Speaker 1: said today that she acknowledged concerns of Florida's as we
Speaker 1: sent Black's response to the storm so far, and then,
Speaker 1: who give me a break. That is nonsense. Stop politic sizing. Okay,
Speaker 1: stop it. We declared a state of emergency when this
Speaker 1: thing wasn't even formed. We've had people in here, You've
Speaker 1: had counties doing They've done a lot of hard work,
Speaker 1: and honestly, you're trying to attack me, I get, but
Speaker 1: like you're attacking these other people who've worked very hard
Speaker 1: and so so that's just totally false. I don't think
Speaker 1: we've ever, certainly since I've been governed, declared a state
Speaker 1: of emergency this early. You talk to the people at
Speaker 1: the counties when they've needed something, stuff gets there very
Speaker 1: quickly because of what Kevin and his team have done.
Speaker 1: Desantist is not allowing this political garbage, especially in this
Speaker 1: moment right now, people trying to look they're they're politically
Speaker 1: terrified of Ronda Santis on the left because they know
Speaker 1: that he is conservative, highly competent, and highly accomplished in
Speaker 1: his state as governor. What he did during the pandemic
Speaker 1: showed tremendous resolve and just straight up brain power, straight
Speaker 1: up cognitive ability, desantists is the man for this moment.
Speaker 1: If you had to pick a politician in America to
Speaker 1: be in charge of the state of Florida, you would
Speaker 1: want it to be Governor Ron DeSantis. If Democrats had
Speaker 1: had their way, it would be Andrew Gillam if you recall,
Speaker 1: and it almost was in twenty eighteen, Andrew Gillim, who
Speaker 1: was later found to be with a male prostitute overdosing
Speaker 1: on drugs and is now under federal indictment. He would
Speaker 1: be the person if Democrats had had their way, who
Speaker 1: was coordinating what will be life saving an absolutely essential
Speaker 1: government response to this horrific storm. So these decisions, you know,
Speaker 1: we talk about politics a lot, they have real consequences
Speaker 1: for people. And the good news, unfortunately in a sea
Speaker 1: of very concerning, very bad news right now in terms
Speaker 1: of this storm, but the good news for the state
Speaker 1: of Florida is that they have a governor who's not
Speaker 1: making this political. He's making this about results, saving as
Speaker 1: many people and limiting as much damage as is possible
Speaker 1: under the circumstances of seeing a tremendous storm like this.
Speaker 1: Spoke to Joe Bastardi earlier today, who's a true hurricane expert,
Speaker 1: and we were asking him, I said, is this going
Speaker 1: to be the worst storm we've seen make landfall in
Speaker 1: this country in a hundred years? And I've got only
Speaker 1: four hurricanes have hit the US in the last hundred
Speaker 1: years that had one hundred and fifty mile an hour
Speaker 1: plus wins. Labor Day of nineteen thirty five, it had
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five mile hour winds. A hurricane
Speaker 1: Camille in nineteen sixty nine had one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five mile an hour winds, Andrew in nineteen ninety two
Speaker 1: had one hundred and sixty five mile on hour winds,
Speaker 1: and Michael in twenty eighteen one hundred and sixty mile
Speaker 1: an hour winds. Are those are obviously tremendously destructive storms.
Speaker 1: This storm, though, Ian, is slow moving. It is moving
Speaker 1: five to ten miles an hour, which is add because
Speaker 1: it means that there's going to be more saturation, more
Speaker 1: wind damage, and you're you're suffering through the storm a
Speaker 1: longer period of time as a result of the speed
Speaker 1: that it moves. So this is going to be it's
Speaker 1: going to be a very rough forty eight hours here
Speaker 1: and we'll see if it manages to continue to make
Speaker 1: its way up towards the southeastern coastal United States, Georgia,
Speaker 1: the Carolinas, or if it loses substantially loses force. So
Speaker 1: we're focusing on this hurricane as much as we can be,
Speaker 1: and we will be following up with this certainly here
Speaker 1: on the show in the days ahead. Joe Biden had
Speaker 1: a moment that you've got to hear about because I
Speaker 1: told you leadership matters, government matters, especially in a moment
Speaker 1: of crisis. We'll talk about Nordstream pipeline here in the
Speaker 1: sabotage there coming up in a second, two or in
Speaker 1: a few in a few minutes. But Joe Biden had
Speaker 1: they just can't explain this stuff anymore. They can't tell
Speaker 1: us that he's all there. Okay, we all know when
Speaker 1: someone is in deterioration because of age, what it looks
Speaker 1: like and sounds like. And that's where Joe Biden is,
Speaker 1: and I will bring that to you in just a second.
Speaker 1: But being a real estate investor is a really good
Speaker 1: way to build financial freedom for yourself of the long term,
Speaker 1: to build yourself a really substantial nest egg that you
Speaker 1: can count on and done for your real estate is
Speaker 1: who you want to be working with to build that
Speaker 1: real estate portfolio. I met with Done for Your real
Speaker 1: Estate years ago. I've now bought multiple houses I have
Speaker 1: My brothers are Done for Your real Estate clients. Some
Speaker 1: of my closest friends have become Done for Your real
Speaker 1: Estate clients because I really believe in what they do.
Speaker 1: I have had tremendous success already with Done for You
Speaker 1: real Estate. It's an amazing company run by really smart,
Speaker 1: honest people, and they teach you from start to about
Speaker 1: how to pick the right property invest and become a
Speaker 1: real estate investor in your own right, and you can
Speaker 1: build on your portfolio over time. You don't have to
Speaker 1: be super rich to do this. You don't be rich
Speaker 1: at all. They will walk you through every step of
Speaker 1: the process and how you can make smart, long term
Speaker 1: sound real estate investments. We've Done for Your real Estate.

Speaker 1: how this worked. Again, that's done for you, Buck dot
Speaker 1: com to begin you a real estate investment journey today. Now,
Speaker 1: Biden was having an event today and he called out
Speaker 1: for what he called out about a number of different politicians,
Speaker 1: and he also named a politician who died unfortunately in
Speaker 1: a car crash this past Summer's tragic. And here he
Speaker 1: is saying at this event, I want is she here?
Speaker 1: I wonder where she is? But so many of you
Speaker 1: know so much about this as well, and you're committed.
Speaker 1: I want to thank all of you here from including
Speaker 1: bipartisan elected officials like Representative Governor, Senator Braun, Senator Booker,
Speaker 1: Representative Jackie. Are you here? Where's Jackie? I think here? Here? Here?
Speaker 1: Or you can hear the processing is not going very
Speaker 1: quickly up there, He called out to Representative Jackie will Orski,
Speaker 1: who died in a car wreck in August. He was
Speaker 1: at this is the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition
Speaker 1: and Health. Now there are gaffs. Sure, I speak for
Speaker 1: hours a day on radio. People can misspeak, mispronounce a name,
Speaker 1: get somebody confused with somebody else. That can happen. But
Speaker 1: then there's something like this you are the president of
Speaker 1: the United States, you are at an event. You thought
Speaker 1: about who you're going to to call out to to
Speaker 1: thank And it's not like he just said, I am
Speaker 1: thankful for the work that Jackie Willorski put into this.
Speaker 1: He said, I wonder where she is right now. He
Speaker 1: was looking around the room for her. She has passed away.
Speaker 1: She died two months ago. Did Joe biden't even know? This?
Speaker 1: Is Joe Biden aware of this? Well? The White House
Speaker 1: had to play, uh, try to play clean up for
Speaker 1: this later on in the day, because you know, folks,
Speaker 1: they're they're supporting. This guy's a dementia patient at this point,
Speaker 1: and he's the President of United States, and we all
Speaker 1: can see it. We all know what's going on. And
Speaker 1: Karin Jean Pierre goes out there and says, well, here
Speaker 1: you can hear from her, appears to look around the
Speaker 1: room for an audience, a member of Congress who passed
Speaker 1: away last month. He seemed to indicate she might be
Speaker 1: in the room. So the President was, as you all know,
Speaker 1: you guys were watching today's event, a very important event
Speaker 1: on food and security. The President was naming the congressional
Speaker 1: champions on this issue. And was acknowledging her incredible work.
Speaker 1: He had He had already planned to welcome the congresswoman's
Speaker 1: family to the White House on Friday. There will be
Speaker 1: a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday. So
Speaker 1: of course she was on his mind. She was of
Speaker 1: top of mind for the president. He said, Jackie, are
Speaker 1: you here? Where's Jackie? She must not be here. I
Speaker 1: totally understand. I just I just explained she was on
Speaker 1: top of mind. She was top of mind so much
Speaker 1: so that he didn't know that she's dead. Really, this
Speaker 1: is what the whatnot? I will say some members of
Speaker 1: the press corps. The only thing that matters enough to
Speaker 1: the White House Press Corps that they will push back
Speaker 1: on this White House is their own egos. As in,
Speaker 1: they are being made to look so stupid. They will
Speaker 1: be supplicants, they will be they will shine the throne
Speaker 1: of the Biden regime without thinking twice, that's fine. But
Speaker 1: the moment that it becomes laughable that they are a
Speaker 1: subject the press corps or a subject of mockery because
Speaker 1: they're being made to look like they're so stupid, then
Speaker 1: they actually start say hold on a second, here, you
Speaker 1: know they all have egos. You know, they want to
Speaker 1: go out and DC and go get cocktails and act
Speaker 1: like they're really important, and when you're trying to tell them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason the President United States called out a dead
Speaker 1: congresswoman and said where are you? Are you in here
Speaker 1: somewhere is because she was top of mind. That's an
Speaker 1: interesting direction to go. She didn't say, look, he honestly
Speaker 1: just it's it was a mistake. He was the moment
Speaker 1: he forgot entirely that that that had happened. That wouldn't
Speaker 1: be a particularly you know, politically, that would be a
Speaker 1: difficult admission to make. But she could say that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that could happen, just look Joe, but it just it
Speaker 1: slipped his mind. She didn't say it slipped his mind,
Speaker 1: because then that starts to get to the there's a
Speaker 1: reason for that. It starts to get to will is
Speaker 1: he having senior moments obviously do a lot of things
Speaker 1: slip his mind that shouldn't. So they can't go there,
Speaker 1: you see. So they would rather say he was thinking
Speaker 1: about her so much, Karen Jean Pierre would rather tell
Speaker 1: you he was so dialed in on Jackie will Orski
Speaker 1: that he forgot that she was dead. They would rather
Speaker 1: tell you that, like like he's so mentally it's so
Speaker 1: mentally acute and aware. This is crazy. This makes no sense.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here telling you it makes no sense. But
Speaker 1: that's what they do because the alternative is politically damaging
Speaker 1: to admit that this guy has dimension that The Democrats,
Speaker 1: after all of their wailing about Trump is the world
Speaker 1: these hitler. He's awful, all the stuff. This is who
Speaker 1: they make president. There were people in my city in
Speaker 1: New York. I remember, They're walking around honking horns and
Speaker 1: cheering and hugging and crying tears of joy. So they
Speaker 1: could put captain dementia patient in the Oval Office. Apparently, yes, apparently, yes,
Speaker 1: that's where we are as a country. And they feel
Speaker 1: good about this. Still. I saw Mike Allen on the
Speaker 1: TV this morning, on the television as he's a co
Speaker 1: founder of Axios, a former political guy, and look he's
Speaker 1: not a Republican, So I think that's interesting. He's just
Speaker 1: telling you what the polls are saying for Democrats. You
Speaker 1: know what the number one issue is for Democrats right now,
Speaker 1: for Democrats, not for the electorate overall. The number one
Speaker 1: issue for them is threats to democracy because that's the
Speaker 1: little safe space where they get to pretend that their
Speaker 1: side are the good people and they're their heroes, because
Speaker 1: the threats are the democracy or Trump. Because on all
Speaker 1: issues of actual policy and looking at the economy, the boar,
Speaker 1: crime schools, COVID, you go at all those issues, Democrats
Speaker 1: are a disaster, a disaster. Everything that dawn has been stupid, destructive, counterproductive,
Speaker 1: you name it. So they create this little safe space
Speaker 1: and theselves of oh, but you know, we're fighting the
Speaker 1: threats to democracy. That's their number one issue. People can't
Speaker 1: afford groceries. Democrats are concerned with threst or democracy. That
Speaker 1: just means losing power. That just means their team not
Speaker 1: calling the shots. That's their biggest concern. That tells you
Speaker 1: a lot about the Democrat mindset. And on national security,
Speaker 1: speaking of Democrats failing on everything, there's the biggest war
Speaker 1: going on in Europe since World War Two. You don't
Speaker 1: hear it phrase that way often, but I think it's
Speaker 1: worth reminding everybody. Russia and Ukraine and there is the
Speaker 1: Nordstream to pipeline that has now been sabotaged. This is
Speaker 1: a It is a pipeline that runs along the sea
Speaker 1: floor of the Baltic Sea, and there have been what
Speaker 1: seemed to be some explosions along it. And now there
Speaker 1: is natural gas completely leeching out of the pipeline into
Speaker 1: the ocean, and it's going to be out of gas
Speaker 1: in this pipeline. We're going into winter in Germany. Well
Speaker 1: we're going in winter in the whole western northern hemisphere,
Speaker 1: but they're going in winter in Germany. They need this
Speaker 1: natural gas. So this now turns into Okay, who did this?
Speaker 1: The obvious thing is what Cicero Quibona right? Who benefits?
Speaker 1: So who did this? There is a case to be made.
Speaker 1: I think a case to be made that this doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense for the Russians to do, because couldn't
Speaker 1: they just turn the gas off? It's coming from Russia.
Speaker 1: So then the response to that as well, maybe the
Speaker 1: Russians sabotaged it so they could claim that they're not
Speaker 1: intentionally turning the gas off, and so that then allows
Speaker 1: them to use this as a as a weapon of sort,
Speaker 1: an energy weapon to try to bring about a cessation
Speaker 1: of support for Ukraine from Germany and other European other
Speaker 1: EU states. Maybe I don't find that super compelling. There
Speaker 1: was a Joe Biden comment at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: year that people are looking back to where he said,
Speaker 1: don't worry, we'll take this was before Russia I had
Speaker 1: even invaded. He said, we'll take the nord Stream two
Speaker 1: pipeline offline somehow. So, yeah, the nord Stream two pipeline
Speaker 1: is now offline. And people are pointing to that Biden,
Speaker 1: that Biden sound Biden saying hold on a second, what
Speaker 1: exactly was what did he mean by don't worry, We'll
Speaker 1: find a way to take it offline. I don't think
Speaker 1: that America would do this, Honestly, I don't think we
Speaker 1: have the I don't think this government had the stones
Speaker 1: to do something like that. Uh And then say Russia
Speaker 1: did it. I think that's beyond them. But somebody did it.
Speaker 1: It seems somebody did it. I tell you this, do
Speaker 1: we have it? Here you go, here's Biden. Russian invades.
Speaker 1: That means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again.
Speaker 1: Then there will be uh we there will be no
Speaker 1: longer on North Team too. We will bring it into it.
Speaker 1: But how will you how will you do that? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Since the project in control of the project is within
Speaker 1: Germany's control. We will I promise you, We'll be able
Speaker 1: to do it. I promise you we'll be able to
Speaker 1: do that. What does that mean exactly? People are saying,
Speaker 1: that's an interesting thing for a president to say, not
Speaker 1: a US pipeline, not on US soil or in territorial
Speaker 1: waters of the United States. Uh, this is this is
Speaker 1: one of these more moments where you say Russia has
Speaker 1: been talking about tactical nukes and how the US wouldn't
Speaker 1: respond to a tackle nuke in Ukraine. We got to
Speaker 1: bring this conflict to a close as soon as possible
Speaker 1: with this should that focus on a negotiated settlement should
Speaker 1: have been much more urgent for many months now instead
Speaker 1: of Ukraine's gonna beat Russia. What does that even look like?
Speaker 1: People haven't really thought this through, But the pipeline situation
Speaker 1: understandably getting a lot of attention. I mentioned this year
Speaker 1: yesterday from New York City Eric Adams. Eric Ams an
Speaker 1: terrible job in New York. He's a joke as mayor.
Speaker 1: He's far too, far too interested in having celebrity pals
Speaker 1: and having photos taken of him. I really think he
Speaker 1: thinks the job of mayor of New York is about
Speaker 1: being a celebrity influencer. You know, he's just he's cool.
Speaker 1: Now he gets to hang out with all the famous people.
Speaker 1: And whether New York actually is safer or better, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what can you do here? He is taking a shot
Speaker 1: at Kansas. Though. When people are bringing up that, you know,
Speaker 1: New York's crime is really bad, he goes, well, new
Speaker 1: York has a brand. We have a brand. New York
Speaker 1: has a brand, and when people see it, it means something.
Speaker 1: You know, when we go there. It's not Kansas doesn't
Speaker 1: have a brand. When you go there, you okay, you
Speaker 1: from Kansas. No, Well, you know what, but New York
Speaker 1: has a brand. It has a brand, and he's destroying
Speaker 1: that brand. The Democrats are destroying that brand. And Kansas'
Speaker 1: brand is inexpensive, real estate, law and order, cleanliness. New
Speaker 1: York City's brand right now, not those things. Not those things.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with me. Team. If you're in Florida,
Speaker 1: please stay safe and we'll talk to you tomorrow. Shields
Speaker 1: High
