1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: With its devastating hurricane season that we have faced and

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: still waiting to see what the impact of Hurricane Milton

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: will be here in Florida. What it's really demonstrated to

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: us is that leadership matters. Who we vote into office matters.

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: You can just look at Governor DeSantis' response here in

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Florida versus that of Mary Cooper in North Carolina, a

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Democrat governor or. You look at the failed response from

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: the federal government to Hurricane Helen, waiting days to activate

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: the military, which is what Joe Biden did. And then

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: you look at as we wait for Hurricane Milton to hit,

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: just the infighting between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Kamala

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: Harris saying, oh, I called Governor DeSantis, he didn't pick

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: up the phone. And then you've got Joe Biden saying, well, actually,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: you know, I've been on the phone with Governor de Santis.

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: He's doing everything he needs to do. I gave him

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: my personal number. It's chaos with Democrats and their response.

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Then you've got second Harry Mayorkas saying that, oh, FEMA

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: is running out of money, that they're not going to

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: have the funds to take us through a hurricane season,

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: and then you see these reports of FEMA spending all

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: this money on the migrant crisis. So I guess what

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: this is underscore to me is how much leadership matters

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: and why it's important to make sure that we elect

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: the right people, particularly as we head towards election season.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to someone who has seen

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: the devastation in North Carolina firsthand, who has witnessed response efforts,

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: who can really speak to the truth of what's actually

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: going on there. He is a marine, Julio Rosas you

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: know him. He is a reporter, a national correspondent for

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: The Blaze. He has been on the ground during the

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: George Floyd riots, He's been on the ground during hurricane

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: relief efforts. He's actually in Tampa right now as we

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: wait for Hurricane Milton.

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: So we're going to.

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Get his take on what's actually happening, what should we

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: know about the government's response, and what should you know

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: as Milton barrels down towards Florida. Stay tuned for Julio Rosas.

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: But first I want to tell you a little bit

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: about IFDJ October seventh was the one year mark of

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Twelve hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: and fifty taken hostage. The word Israel rages on today.

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: Israel and the Jewish people are facing attacks from enemies

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: on all sides seeking Israel's destruction. The International Fellowship of

45
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Christians and Jews is on the ground providing food, shelter,

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and safety to those in need during this crisis. Since

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: the war started, there were reservists everyday Israeli citizens who

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: have left families behind to serve their country, soldiers who

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: have been injured, and their families need support. Your gift

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: on this show. We were just talking about how you're

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna be going out here. You know, obviously we're awaiting

63
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: for Hurricane Milton to come through as Floridians, and you're

64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: going to be out you know, sort of looking at

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: the disaster relief efforts and being out there. Most people

66
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: run away from this stuff, but you run towards it,

67
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: but you do important work and doing so Yeah, I

68
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: mean this is I mean, especially what we saw in

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the afromaticalleen for not just supported but North Carolina.

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: It's it's important because it was because the people on

71
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: the ground in North Carolina getting the word out saying, hey,

72
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: people are cut off, they need help. Now, that's how

73
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: the civilians were able to organize themselves and just run

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: their own supply runs, their rescue operations for days before

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: the federal government really came into came into the area

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: in force. And even still, i mean almost you know,

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: more than a week later, the federal government response is

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: still lacking. And that's that's that's just concerning obviously, But

79
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: you know, I don't have the same concerns with here

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: in Florida just because of how well the state is

81
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: run when it comes to the deak for response. But

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is the post to be

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: you know, once in a lifetime of hurricane for for

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: the Gulf Coast. It looks like it's going to hit

85
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: more closer or more south of Tampa Bay than initially projected,

86
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: but it you know, the Tampa Bay area is still

87
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: expecting to get hit pretty hard, which really does speak

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: to you how important leadership is. You know, you had

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: mentioned that, you know, here in Florida, we know that

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Governor DeSantis, you know, obviously he can't control the hurricane

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: and the impact the hurricane has, but he certainly can

92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: control the response to it. And you know, we know

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: that he's got it covered.

94
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: We know that, you know, he's going to respond in

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: the best way that is possible for anyone in political office.

96
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: But that really hasn't seemed to be the case in

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and it certainly hasn't been the scene or

98
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: it hasn't seemed to be the case with the federal

99
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: government's response and helping there. I guess take us through

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: because you know, one is the media telling the full

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: story about what's really happening in North Carolina and some

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: of these devastated communities. You know, I know you've been there,

103
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: You've been on the ground. You know you did it,

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: ride around with Rep. Quorry Mills. I guess, take us through,

105
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: like what did you see? You know, how bad is it?

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: You know, take us through what's happening there on the

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: ground for so many of these people who are still missing,

108
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, still missing and still you know, desperately in

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: need of help.

110
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I was able to go on these

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: flights from both an airplane and helicopters with Commerce Courtmills

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: of Florida, uh and also Mercury One, which is Glenn

113
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: Beck's disaster relief organization, And it was very It's very

114
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: interesting to see because obviously the reason why the response

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: to Hurricane Hilling up in the mountains is a lot

116
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: different is because it's up in the mountains, right, And

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: so it is without exaggeration when when I say that

118
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: it wasn't just you know, there was you know, a

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: road was washed out in one part here, in another

120
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: part here, and another part here. I'm talking the entire

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: length of the road was just gone. And these are

122
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: the only roads that are able to connect these these

123
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: these little smaller towns and localities. And so when it's

124
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: when it's not just yeah, there's a giant pothole, but

125
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: it goes on for miles. Obviously, that presents challenges for yes,

126
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: that the ad and the personnel from the federal government

127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: can be in Ashville, and Ashville has been stabilized for

128
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: for quite some time now. It's a matter of then

129
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: gantting those people and those resources into those smaller places

130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: that are hard to get to. And that's why, that's

131
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: why the media has been misleading when they just said, well, no, no,

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: the federal government is there. I mean, look look at

133
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: all the things that they were able to bring in.

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: And that's true, but again it needs to get to

135
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: more places than just Ashville or Boom. He needs to

136
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: go to places like Road River, you know, Pensacola and

137
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: just all these like little places that have like a

138
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: thousand and a thousand, five hundred people. And that's been

139
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: the big frustration is that the civilians and the veterans

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: and the locals and volunteers are coming up from our state.

141
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: They were running these operations for days before FEMA really

142
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: started to show up, and so that's why there was

143
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: frustration when then obviously FEMA has their way of running things,

144
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: and they're trying to take over these these basically these

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: out and these supply missions and rescue missions, but there's

146
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: a bureaucracy, there's a rect tape that goes along with it,

147
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: because obviously it's the federal government. That's why there was

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: anger because people were saying, well, one, what took you

149
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: so long to get here? But then two, how dare

150
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: you tell us how to do things when we're running

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: things pretty smoothly now, you know, it's almost to the

152
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 2: point where it's like, we don't even need you guys

153
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: to be able to do this. Now, that's not to

154
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: say that every little bit doesn't help, but the way

155
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: that FEMA and the federal government has has gone about

156
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: North Carolina and those in it nearly forgotten places, that

157
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: that anger and that frustration is certainly well placed front

158
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: of those guys. I'm not kidding when I tell you

159
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: that veterans literally just they they took over with the

160
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: owner's permission, the Harley Davidson Dealership and it's basically like

161
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: a forward operating base where you have basically the Ethical

162
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Operations Center. You have the airfield, impromptu airfield where the

163
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: hell cut to fly in, they have to supply trucks

164
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: and the ATVs and UTVs going in and out. I

165
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: mean it was obviously, yeah, it was. It was kind

166
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: of chaotic and a lot was happening, but there was

167
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: a flow to it. I mean, there was there was

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: a process, and I mean all the veterans were armed.

169
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just it was just it was

170
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: it was cool to see. I mean, like this is

171
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: what in private sistance. Yeah, yeah, like like the this

172
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: is what America is at its best right. It's where, Okay,

173
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: we have a problem. Obviously, it'd be great if the

174
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: government can help us, but in the meantime, we're going

175
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: to take care of it ourselves the best of our ability,

176
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: and we're not going to let these people just be

177
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: shrended for days and weeks on end without any help.

178
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: We've got more with Julio.

179
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: But first, every twenty six seconds, violet crime takes place

194
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: And So for some of these people who are still stranded,

195
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the access to them. I've seen you know,

196
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: you know via horseback, you know, writing via you know.

197
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: I guess how I guess how difficult is it to

198
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: access some of these people who are still stranded.

199
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty difficult. I mean, even even by helicopter.

200
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we were in a we were in a

201
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: decent sized helicopter. Wasn't it wasn't as big as a

202
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: black Hawk or anything. But it also it also wasn't

203
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: like a two sier, right, it was kind of somewhere

204
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: kind of in between that. And there were times where

205
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: it was kind of difficult to find a good landing

206
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: place because obviously not do you not do you just

207
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: have like the regular you know, valleys and trees, But

208
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: obviously now there's a debris, there's down power lines, there's

209
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: there's down trees and branches that can make a landing

210
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: spot kind of difficult. And so obviously the helicopter is

211
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: the fastest way to kind of get to these places.

212
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: But sometimes, depending on where these people are, the only

213
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: way to get to get to them still is only

214
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: on foot or orseback or mules or or something, and

215
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: obviously that takes a lot longer. So, I mean, when

216
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: we were in Pensacola, uh, North Carolina, the Chief Medical

217
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: Office or just just told us basically that we're going

218
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: to be digging ourselves out of this mess for months.

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: And that's kind of a problem because we're in October

220
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 2: right being here with Florida, it doesn't really feel that way.

221
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: But the first time when we landed in Pensacola, they

222
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: it was it was sun was setting and it was

223
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: about sixty two degrees sixty degrees and that felt pretty

224
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: cold for obviously, and they were telling us that they're

225
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: pretty good on food, they're pretty good on water. What

226
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: they need the most at that point is generators, fuel

227
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: for the generators, chain saws, tools, and replacement parts for

228
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: those chainsaws and everything, because it's gonna get cold, like

229
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: it's going to get actually pretty cold there with it,

230
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: you know, by by the middle of October, and so

231
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: they have no power and that obviously presents a problem

232
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: for for when it comes to cold weather challenges. So

233
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: you know, everyone's doing the best that they can given

234
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: the circumstances, but it was just devastating. I mean, it's

235
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: a beautiful area. I mean, I understand why people want

236
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: to live out there. I understand why people want to

237
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: spend time out there. But the downside to that, unfortunately,

238
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: is that they are now cut off.

239
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: Why do you think it took the federal government so

240
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: long to respond? I mean, it took days for the

241
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: government for Biden to activate the military. And then you

242
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: have Secretary my Erica is coming out and saying that

243
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: FEMA is not going to have the money to take

244
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: us through this hurricane season. And there's been a lot

245
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: of questions about how FEMA has spent money, you know,

246
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: accusations that they've spent more than one point four billion

247
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: since the fall twenty two to address migrant crisis. You know,

248
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: I guess why do you think it's it took so

249
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: long for the government to respond. And then you know,

250
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: I guess, sort of what do you make of my

251
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Erica's statement saying that, know, hey, like you're basically out

252
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: of luck, females running out of money.

253
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's just what we've come to expect

254
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: from the Biden Harris administration. I mean, it just they

255
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: take any problem that they are presented with and they

256
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: just find ways to make it ten times worse. Right,

257
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: And and that's typical of government just in general, right,

258
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: the federal government. But when you when you have incompetent

259
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: people in charge, because i mean, first of all, Biden

260
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: is not even really in charge at this point. I mean, like, yes,

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: he has the title of president, so that's a problem.

262
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: And you know, Harris is kind of trying to be

263
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: like the quasi. So it's just there's just this function, right,

264
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: There's just and it's just a complete opposite of what

265
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: we saw in the truck administration. I mean, for all

266
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: the chaos that the media like to make out during

267
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: his during his turn, he was the guy in charge

268
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: for the most part, right, I mean like he like

269
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: no one really questions his his his his command of

270
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: the office. Whereas with Biden and Harris and this weird

271
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: thing that they have now and it seems like they

272
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: both hate each other with what they're doing. That's just

273
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: a problem. That's that's the wrong way to run a government,

274
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: and it's especially the wrong way to handle a government

275
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: in a crisis situation. So you know there, so that's

276
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: problem number one. But then also number two, I think

277
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: it's just it just highlights how yeah, the spending priorities

278
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: and I mean since since the border crisis, and that

279
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: is not even really a border crisis, it's just a

280
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: general immigration crisis for the entire country. I mean yeah,

281
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: I mean it is a problem when the federal government

282
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: has no problem finding the money to be able to

283
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: spend literally billions of dollars on people that aren't US citizens,

284
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: and yet when it comes to disaster relief, it's all, well,

285
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: this is the funds and this is it, and if

286
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: we need more funds, then we got to call back

287
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: Congress and they got to vote and do it. It's

288
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: just like it's like, well, you guys are able to

289
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: kind of enagle for some other things, but when it

290
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: comes to the mountain people of western North Carolina, there's

291
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: all these all of a sudden, they're like, no, we

292
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: gotta we got to make sure we follow procedure on that.

293
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean. So it's and it's not even just that,

294
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: but it's also all the money that we're spending overseas

295
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: and all how easy it is for the Biden Hereris

296
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: administration to go ahead and do that as opposed to

297
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, well now their their hands are tied behind

298
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: their back when it comes to zassinally. So it's just

299
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: I just come back to it. It's just typical. It's

300
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: expected of the people that are currently in charge. And

301
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: again we don't even really know who that is. And

302
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully things turn around after this election, but

303
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: the people in North Carolina can't wait that long.

304
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: Right, We've got more in all this, but first, in

305
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: today's world are rising crime threatens families. Violent crimes are

306
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: now taking place every twenty six seconds. The Saber Pepper

307
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: projectile launcher is the only sixty caliber launcher with the

308
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: seven projectile capacity are fring up to forty percent more

309
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,240

Speaker 2: You know what's interesting because you have those.

322
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: Comments from David Axelrod, which I'm sure you've seen, kind

323
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: of finding joy and the fact that some of these

324
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: areas in western North Carolina that vote Trump might not

325
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: be able to vote Trump. And then you know, speculating

326
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: that people in Nashville, you know, their quote unquote upscale

327
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: and liberal voters, and that they're going to be able

328
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: to find ways to cast ballots, but basically just finding

329
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: glee that some of these Trump supporters and rural storm

330
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: impacted areas might not build a vote and that might

331
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: impact Donald Trump electorally. To be completely cynical, is there

332
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: any way that sort of the lack of response from

333
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina and the Democratic governor there, and the lack

334
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: of response from the federal government, which is obviously, you know,

335
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: currently occupied by Democrats, is any of it political?

336
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: Do you think?

337
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: In the slowness and the mismanagement and sort of the

338
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: lack of care and attention.

339
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: To some of these areas. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.

340
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this administration has shown time and again they

341
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: don't they hate the American people, and obviously they come supporters,

342
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: and so I won't be surprised if that that's the

343
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: motivation behind you. And that's a sad thing to kind

344
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: of think about, you know, And that's a that's a

345
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: sad thing of kind of like what the nation has

346
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: kind of come to. Well, you just gotta look at

347
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: a track record when it comes to other things, right,

348
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean the Afghanistan with drawl, I mean that that

349
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: was a total mess and American citizens were left behind,

350
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: American citizens were killed. Ser wars men were killed in that,

351
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: and again that was because of just the complete lack

352
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: of direction in a crisis situation from from on the

353
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: Biden Harris administration. And so it's it's unfortunate that that

354
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 2: conversation needs to be brought up. And they say, well, actually,

355
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: you know, if it hit you know, if if there

356
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: was a devastation in some of the more liberal areas

357
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: in North Carolina, and you know, they probably wouldn't they

358
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't be as up up a river without a paddle

359
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: as opposed to now, I think, I think that's just sad.

360
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: But I will also say, and that was kind of

361
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: what I was saying earlier. This is is much more

362
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: difficult than say a disaster response in Florida where thing's flat.

363
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: But that but so like, for example, when Biden came

364
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: to visit on the last Tuesday, I believe it was

365
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: last Tuesday, he was he was promising beforehand, he was

366
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: promising that my visit will not interrupt rescue operations, it

367
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: will not interrupt supply missions. Like this is just I

368
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: just want to go down there see for myself and

369
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: not interrupt anything that's going on. That sounded great, but

370
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: that's not what happened because because he's the president, there's

371
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: there was a no fly zone over in a thirty

372
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: mile radius over you know, Asheville, and it didn't it

373
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't move too as he was moving because he flew over.

374
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: That's a problem because again, the only way to get things,

375
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: especially especially last week, the only way to get things

376
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: was by helicopter, and our flight crew was grounded for

377
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: two and a half hours. We did a supply mission

378
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: out side of the radius, and then we had to

379
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: sit for hours, you know, when time is of the essence,

380
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: and so it's just like why He's like, yes, it's

381
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: it's important for the leader to be engaged. It's important

382
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: for the president to show show that he is looking

383
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: after the situation. But even his attempt to do that

384
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: just screw it over those people. I mean, it's it's

385
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 2: so ridiculous. So there's there's there's no there's no forethought,

386
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: there's no there's no forward planning when it comes to

387
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: something as simple as a visit. Right, so when it

388
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: comes to restoring these entire towns from scratch, almost that

389
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 2: they're not they're not the bust and brightest clearly.

390
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's also just shown for the contrast

391
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion of like Republican leadership versus Democrat leadership,

392
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: because you know, you look at the way that Governor

393
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: DeSantis is just like anytime any of these disastrous hit

394
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: he is already pre prepared.

395
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: He is all over it, like you know, they're.

396
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: Restoring power and like record time, like rebuilding in record time,

397
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: or even you know, you look at the way Donald Trump,

398
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you know, got a lot of criticism,

399
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: but he was all over this stuff. You know, he

400
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: was the leader, like we knew he was in charge.

401
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: We knew that, you know, the government was gonna respond,

402
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: we you know. And then you look at Mary Cooper

403
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: Democrat governor. You know a lot of accusations of failure

404
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: in response to this, or you look at off basically

405
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: the Biden administration just taking days to be on the

406
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: job and to even respond. It's like and then mismanagement

407
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: of FEMA money. You know, it's like it's like, it's

408
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: just it's such a contrast, in my opinion, between the

409
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: way that Republicans lead and the way that Democrats lead.

410
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: And then you look at now with as we wait

411
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: for Milton. You had references earlier. But Kamala Harris trying

412
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: to say that like she called Governor DeSantis, he like

413
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: ignored her call, and somehow he's making it political. And

414
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: then you look at Joe Biden's response to his credit

415
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: saying that no, actually, you know, the governor Florida has

416
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: been cooperative. He's gotten all these neat he's needed. I've

417
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: spoken to him. I gave my personal number, Like basically

418
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: he's all over it, which you know, I guess sort

419
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: of one speaks to maybe they hated and then you

420
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: know too just you know, chaos within the right administration.

421
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Dempson didn't disarray that that that that rule

422
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: is always true. Yeah, no, exactly, And I mean I

423
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: I was up at the State Emergency Operations Center up

424
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: in Tallahassee for you know, the h before I came

425
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: down to Tampa. And look, obviously government is still government.

426
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: But you're right, it doesn't matter who's in charge. It

427
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: matters their experience and how they handle the pressures. I

428
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: even asked the Santas so just I just said, are

429
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: you can't even sleep because of it? Obviously you were

430
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: working around the clock with Balen and then afterwards and

431
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: then now you got to work around the clock again.

432
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: And you know, he seemed, you know, and he's like, yeah,

433
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: you just gotta find time. You just gotta find time

434
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: for it. But you know where we are, We are

435
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: all in emergency mode and that's what the job requires

436
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: right now, and that's and we're gonna do that. I mean,

437
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 2: can you? I mean, I mean Biden's been asleep at

438
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: the wheel for half of his presidency and the results

439
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: have shown that, right. I mean, it's obvious, like we

440
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: all know this and we're and we're still kind of

441
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: acting like he has a grasp of what he's facing

442
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: on a daily basis. And also obviously it is it

443
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: is helpful that with a state like Florida they are

444
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: better prepared. But I'll even give you an example when

445
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 2: I covered Hurricane Nadalia last year. That was a pretty

446
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: strong storm and it did hit a vastly less populated

447
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: area than what Milton is supposed to hit for for

448
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: this week. But even the locals, they would say, yeah,

449
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: we you know, ten fifteen years ago, we would be

450
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: expecting to be without be without power for two, three

451
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: four weeks. And now you know, since the sandis has

452
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: been in charge. We can get it back within two

453
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: to three days, which is obviously, you know, a big

454
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: difference when it comes to something as simple as power, right, So.

455
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: And also like saving lives you know as well of

456
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: just you know, saving lives because you know, people die

457
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: when they don't have power, especially in this heat. And

458
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: you know the rest of it, it comes with it food, but.

459
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: Right, And that's why and that's why I'll be with

460
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: the ORDA Efficient Wildlife Commission, uh starting tonight and then

461
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: as soon as it's safe to go out and try

462
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: to you know, make sure everything's you know, okay, and

463
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: and when you tell, we're going to be out there

464
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: as soon as it's safe to do so, right, And

465
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: so that could be I think Milton as of now,

466
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: as this recording is supposed to hit around midnight. And

467
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: so the good news is it's it's supposed to be

468
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: a pretty fast hurricane, so it shouldn't linger around too

469
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: long in the state in general. So that's kind of

470
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: a good thing because obviously not only does that mean

471
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: that rescue operations can start as soon as possible, but

472
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: also the there's less less time for the rain to

473
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: accumulate for their inland. But even but even still, I

474
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: mean this, Orlando's supposed to get hit pretty hard by this,

475
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: which is stark because I mean Orlando's in the middle

476
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: of the state. Usually when storms get there, it's usually

477
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: gets down rated pretty heavily to like a tropical storm

478
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: or tropical depression. But apparently out with this one.

479
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'm Leo, we appreciate. So you're in Tampa right now,

480
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: so I mean you're you're in the the midst of it,

481
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: and no place I'd rather do right now. We and

482
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: I know you've got to go hunker down. Well, we're

483
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: praying for you. We appreciate everything you do. You do

484
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: such a good job obviously, you know, being there on

485
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: the ground and whether it's after the George Floyd riots

486
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: or or you know, wherever the chaos is and and

487
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: really just giving us the news and letting us know

488
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: what's going on. So praying for you and your safety

489
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: as well as obviously the rest of our fellow Filoridians.

490
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: And thank you for making the time and please be safe.

491
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you so much. Happy to talk.

493
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,160

494
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: A marine who served our country, who's still, you know,

495
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: running into the chaos to bring us the news and

496
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: to let us know what's going on in the ground.
