WEBVTT - The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Why Leadership Matters 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.959 With its devastating hurricane season that we have faced and 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.160 still waiting to see what the impact of Hurricane Milton 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.120 will be here in Florida. What it's really demonstrated to 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:20.480 us is that leadership matters. Who we vote into office matters. 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.280 You can just look at Governor DeSantis' response here in 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.360 Florida versus that of Mary Cooper in North Carolina, a 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.360 Democrat governor or. You look at the failed response from 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.360 the federal government to Hurricane Helen, waiting days to activate 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.199 the military, which is what Joe Biden did. And then 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.680 you look at as we wait for Hurricane Milton to hit, 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.280 just the infighting between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Kamala 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.199 Harris saying, oh, I called Governor DeSantis, he didn't pick 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.200 up the phone. And then you've got Joe Biden saying, well, actually, 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.839 you know, I've been on the phone with Governor de Santis. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.480 He's doing everything he needs to do. I gave him 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.960 my personal number. It's chaos with Democrats and their response. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.480 Then you've got second Harry Mayorkas saying that, oh, FEMA 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.200 is running out of money, that they're not going to 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.640 have the funds to take us through a hurricane season, 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.880 and then you see these reports of FEMA spending all 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.760 this money on the migrant crisis. So I guess what 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.119 this is underscore to me is how much leadership matters 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.360 and why it's important to make sure that we elect 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.679 the right people, particularly as we head towards election season. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.199 So we're going to talk to someone who has seen 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.440 the devastation in North Carolina firsthand, who has witnessed response efforts, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.320 who can really speak to the truth of what's actually 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.760 going on there. He is a marine, Julio Rosas you 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.640 know him. He is a reporter, a national correspondent for 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.160 The Blaze. He has been on the ground during the 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.040 George Floyd riots, He's been on the ground during hurricane 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.640 relief efforts. He's actually in Tampa right now as we 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.280 wait for Hurricane Milton. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:49.320 So we're going to. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.400 Get his take on what's actually happening, what should we 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.520 know about the government's response, and what should you know 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.720 as Milton barrels down towards Florida. Stay tuned for Julio Rosas. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:01.840 But first I want to tell you a little bit 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.320 about IFDJ October seventh was the one year mark of 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.200 the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.120 Twelve hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.160 and fifty taken hostage. The word Israel rages on today. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.959 Israel and the Jewish people are facing attacks from enemies 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:21.040 on all sides seeking Israel's destruction.

Since 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.120 the war started, there were reservists everyday Israeli citizens who 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.040 have left families behind to serve their country, soldiers who 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.799 have been injured, and their families need support.

We were just talking about how you're 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.040 gonna be going out here. You know, obviously we're awaiting 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.960 for Hurricane Milton to come through as Floridians, and you're 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.520 going to be out you know, sort of looking at 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.960 the disaster relief efforts and being out there. Most people 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.440 run away from this stuff, but you run towards it, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.920 but you do important work and doing so Yeah, I 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.480 mean this is I mean, especially what we saw in 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.280 the afromaticalleen for not just supported but North Carolina. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.640 It's it's important because it was because the people on 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.880 the ground in North Carolina getting the word out saying, hey, 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:54.080 people are cut off, they need help. Now, that's how 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.840 the civilians were able to organize themselves and just run 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:04.400 their own supply runs, their rescue operations for days before 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.920 the federal government really came into came into the area 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.840 in force. And even still, i mean almost you know, 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.000 more than a week later, the federal government response is 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.400 still lacking. And that's that's that's just concerning obviously, But 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.600 you know, I don't have the same concerns with here 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.800 in Florida just because of how well the state is 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.680 run when it comes to the deak for response. But 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.240 I mean, this is this is the post to be 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.159 you know, once in a lifetime of hurricane for for 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.000 the Gulf Coast. It looks like it's going to hit 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.200 more closer or more south of Tampa Bay than initially projected, 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.520 but it you know, the Tampa Bay area is still 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.880 expecting to get hit pretty hard, which really does speak 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.480 to you how important leadership is. You know, you had 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.120 mentioned that, you know, here in Florida, we know that 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.520 Governor DeSantis, you know, obviously he can't control the hurricane 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.039 and the impact the hurricane has, but he certainly can 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.880 control the response to it. And you know, we know 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.040 that he's got it covered. 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.200 We know that, you know, he's going to respond in 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.279 the best way that is possible for anyone in political office. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.960 But that really hasn't seemed to be the case in 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.320 North Carolina, and it certainly hasn't been the scene or 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.080 it hasn't seemed to be the case with the federal 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.960 government's response and helping there. I guess take us through 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.640 because you know, one is the media telling the full 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.919 story about what's really happening in North Carolina and some 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.320 of these devastated communities. You know, I know you've been there, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.000 You've been on the ground. You know you did it, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.640 ride around with Rep. Quorry Mills. I guess, take us through, 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.040 like what did you see? You know, how bad is it? 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.039 You know, take us through what's happening there on the 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.200 ground for so many of these people who are still missing, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.520 you know, still missing and still you know, desperately in 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:47.239 need of help. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:53.760 Yeah. Yeah, So I was able to go on these 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.960 flights from both an airplane and helicopters with Commerce Courtmills 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.240 of Florida, uh and also Mercury One, which is Glenn 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.760 Beck's disaster relief organization, And it was very It's very 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.160 interesting to see because obviously the reason why the response 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.120 to Hurricane Hilling up in the mountains is a lot 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.520 different is because it's up in the mountains, right, And 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:23.480 so it is without exaggeration when when I say that 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.960 it wasn't just you know, there was you know, a 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.800 road was washed out in one part here, in another 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.400 part here, and another part here. I'm talking the entire 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.880 length of the road was just gone. And these are 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.320 the only roads that are able to connect these these 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:44.320 these little smaller towns and localities. And so when it's 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.800 when it's not just yeah, there's a giant pothole, but 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.760 it goes on for miles. Obviously, that presents challenges for yes, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.640 that the ad and the personnel from the federal government 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.680 can be in Ashville, and Ashville has been stabilized for 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.520 for quite some time now. It's a matter of then 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.919 gantting those people and those resources into those smaller places 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.600 that are hard to get to. And that's why, that's 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:17.240 why the media has been misleading when they just said, well, no, no, 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.280 the federal government is there. I mean, look look at 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.240 all the things that they were able to bring in. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:26.400 And that's true, but again it needs to get to 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.480 more places than just Ashville or Boom. He needs to 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.680 go to places like Road River, you know, Pensacola and 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.880 just all these like little places that have like a 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.040 thousand and a thousand, five hundred people. And that's been 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.760 the big frustration is that the civilians and the veterans 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.320 and the locals and volunteers are coming up from our state. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.320 They were running these operations for days before FEMA really 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.400 started to show up, and so that's why there was 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.640 frustration when then obviously FEMA has their way of running things, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.880 and they're trying to take over these these basically these 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.120 out and these supply missions and rescue missions, but there's 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.280 a bureaucracy, there's a rect tape that goes along with it, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.720 because obviously it's the federal government. That's why there was 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.440 anger because people were saying, well, one, what took you 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.520 so long to get here? But then two, how dare 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.800 you tell us how to do things when we're running 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.640 things pretty smoothly now, you know, it's almost to the 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.239 point where it's like, we don't even need you guys 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.840 to be able to do this. Now, that's not to 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.360 say that every little bit doesn't help, but the way 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.079 that FEMA and the federal government has has gone about 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:41.000 North Carolina and those in it nearly forgotten places, that 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.120 that anger and that frustration is certainly well placed front 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.080 of those guys. I'm not kidding when I tell you 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:55.760 that veterans literally just they they took over with the 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.120 owner's permission, the Harley Davidson Dealership and it's basically like 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:04.520 a forward operating base where you have basically the Ethical 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.920 Operations Center. You have the airfield, impromptu airfield where the 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.280 hell cut to fly in, they have to supply trucks 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.080 and the ATVs and UTVs going in and out. I 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.600 mean it was obviously, yeah, it was. It was kind 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.760 of chaotic and a lot was happening, but there was 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.760 a flow to it. I mean, there was there was 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.800 a process, and I mean all the veterans were armed. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.120 I mean, it was just it was just it was 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.600 it was cool to see. I mean, like this is 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.880 what in private sistance. Yeah, yeah, like like the this 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.440 is what America is at its best right. It's where, Okay, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.559 we have a problem. Obviously, it'd be great if the 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.960 government can help us, but in the meantime, we're going 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.480 to take care of it ourselves the best of our ability, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.480 and we're not going to let these people just be 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.760 shrended for days and weeks on end without any help. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:49.760 We've got more with Julio. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.960 But first, every twenty six seconds, violet crime takes place 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.320 in the United States, and rising crime threatens families.

That's s A b r E Radio dot com. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.240 And So for some of these people who are still stranded, 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.840 I mean, what's the access to them. I've seen you know, 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.640 you know via horseback, you know, writing via you know. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.800 I guess how I guess how difficult is it to 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.120 access some of these people who are still stranded. 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.119 It's it's pretty difficult. I mean, even even by helicopter. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.920 I mean, we were in a we were in a 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.400 decent sized helicopter. Wasn't it wasn't as big as a 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.080 black Hawk or anything. But it also it also wasn't 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.040 like a two sier, right, it was kind of somewhere 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.000 kind of in between that. And there were times where 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.120 it was kind of difficult to find a good landing 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.200 place because obviously not do you not do you just 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.400 have like the regular you know, valleys and trees, But 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.520 obviously now there's a debris, there's down power lines, there's 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.520 there's down trees and branches that can make a landing 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:37.280 spot kind of difficult. And so obviously the helicopter is 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.600 the fastest way to kind of get to these places. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:45.079 But sometimes, depending on where these people are, the only 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.480 way to get to get to them still is only 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.080 on foot or orseback or mules or or something, and 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.040 obviously that takes a lot longer. So, I mean, when 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.720 we were in Pensacola, uh, North Carolina, the Chief Medical 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.960 Office or just just told us basically that we're going 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.080 to be digging ourselves out of this mess for months. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.480 And that's kind of a problem because we're in October 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.199 right being here with Florida, it doesn't really feel that way. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.360 But the first time when we landed in Pensacola, they 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.079 it was it was sun was setting and it was 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.680 about sixty two degrees sixty degrees and that felt pretty 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.560 cold for obviously, and they were telling us that they're 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.880 pretty good on food, they're pretty good on water. What 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.480 they need the most at that point is generators, fuel 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.800 for the generators, chain saws, tools, and replacement parts for 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.600 those chainsaws and everything, because it's gonna get cold, like 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.480 it's going to get actually pretty cold there with it, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.320 you know, by by the middle of October, and so 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.520 they have no power and that obviously presents a problem 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.600 for for when it comes to cold weather challenges. So 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.240 you know, everyone's doing the best that they can given 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:04.600 the circumstances, but it was just devastating. I mean, it's 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.200 a beautiful area. I mean, I understand why people want 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.400 to live out there. I understand why people want to 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.520 spend time out there. But the downside to that, unfortunately, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.120 is that they are now cut off. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.960 Why do you think it took the federal government so 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.480 long to respond? I mean, it took days for the 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.480 government for Biden to activate the military. And then you 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.800 have Secretary my Erica is coming out and saying that 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.360 FEMA is not going to have the money to take 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.320 us through this hurricane season. And there's been a lot 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.600 of questions about how FEMA has spent money, you know, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.400 accusations that they've spent more than one point four billion 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.840 since the fall twenty two to address migrant crisis. You know, 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.640 I guess why do you think it's it took so 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:56.720 long for the government to respond. And then you know, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.120 I guess, sort of what do you make of my 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.800 Erica's statement saying that, know, hey, like you're basically out 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.319 of luck, females running out of money. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.439 Well, it's just it's just what we've come to expect 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.760 from the Biden Harris administration. I mean, it just they 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.840 take any problem that they are presented with and they 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.400 just find ways to make it ten times worse. Right, 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.800 And and that's typical of government just in general, right, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.360 the federal government. But when you when you have incompetent 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.600 people in charge, because i mean, first of all, Biden 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.040 is not even really in charge at this point. I mean, like, yes, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.040 he has the title of president, so that's a problem. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.080 And you know, Harris is kind of trying to be 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:37.360 like the quasi. So it's just there's just this function, right, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.200 There's just and it's just a complete opposite of what 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.120 we saw in the truck administration. I mean, for all 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.160 the chaos that the media like to make out during 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.960 his during his turn, he was the guy in charge 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.440 for the most part, right, I mean like he like 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.680 no one really questions his his his his command of 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.360 the office. Whereas with Biden and Harris and this weird 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.480 thing that they have now and it seems like they 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.960 both hate each other with what they're doing. That's just 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.120 a problem. That's that's the wrong way to run a government, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.960 and it's especially the wrong way to handle a government 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.480 in a crisis situation. So you know there, so that's 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.440 problem number one. But then also number two, I think 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.160 it's just it just highlights how yeah, the spending priorities 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.360 and I mean since since the border crisis, and that 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.280 is not even really a border crisis, it's just a 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:28.120 general immigration crisis for the entire country. I mean yeah, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.800 I mean it is a problem when the federal government 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.320 has no problem finding the money to be able to 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.520 spend literally billions of dollars on people that aren't US citizens, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.720 and yet when it comes to disaster relief, it's all, well, 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.720 this is the funds and this is it, and if 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.760 we need more funds, then we got to call back 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.240 Congress and they got to vote and do it. It's 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.720 just like it's like, well, you guys are able to 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.160 kind of enagle for some other things, but when it 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.680 comes to the mountain people of western North Carolina, there's 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.600 all these all of a sudden, they're like, no, we 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.640 gotta we got to make sure we follow procedure on that. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.800 I mean. So it's and it's not even just that, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.360 but it's also all the money that we're spending overseas 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.320 and all how easy it is for the Biden Hereris 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.360 administration to go ahead and do that as opposed to 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.640 you know, well now their their hands are tied behind 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.840 their back when it comes to zassinally. So it's just 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.640 I just come back to it. It's just typical. It's 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.520 expected of the people that are currently in charge. And 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.120 again we don't even really know who that is. And 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.760 you know, hopefully things turn around after this election, but 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.040 the people in North Carolina can't wait that long. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.440 Right, We've got more in all this, but first, in 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.120 today's world are rising crime threatens families. Violent crimes are 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:48.040 now taking place every twenty six seconds. The Saber Pepper 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.360 projectile launcher is the only sixty caliber launcher with the 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.760 seven projectile capacity are fring up to forty percent more 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.240 shots than the other brands for superior home defense with 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.520 stopping power up to one hundred and seven ft. Having 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.200 more projectiles is crucial to protect your family. For nearly 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.240 fifty years, Saber has been dedicated to making the world safer. 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.320 Trusted by law enforcement and millions of families, Saber provides powerful, 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.960 non lethal protection both at home and on the go. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.120 For extra peace of mind, Sabers pepper sprays are ideal 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.120 for on the ghost safety and Sabers door bars block 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.600 up to six hundred and fifty pounds of force to 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.840 keep intruders out. Is it Saber radio dot com or 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.040 call eight four four eight two four safe to protect 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:39.160 your family. That's s a bre radio dot Com. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.080 You know what's interesting because you have those. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.760 Comments from David Axelrod, which I'm sure you've seen, kind 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.440 of finding joy and the fact that some of these 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.560 areas in western North Carolina that vote Trump might not 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.680 be able to vote Trump. And then you know, speculating 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.720 that people in Nashville, you know, their quote unquote upscale 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.560 and liberal voters, and that they're going to be able 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.320 to find ways to cast ballots, but basically just finding 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.359 glee that some of these Trump supporters and rural storm 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.720 impacted areas might not build a vote and that might 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:16.320 impact Donald Trump electorally. To be completely cynical, is there 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:22.760 any way that sort of the lack of response from 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.160 North Carolina and the Democratic governor there, and the lack 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.520 of response from the federal government, which is obviously, you know, 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.560 currently occupied by Democrats, is any of it political? 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:34.440 Do you think? 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.119 In the slowness and the mismanagement and sort of the 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.040 lack of care and attention. 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.280 To some of these areas. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.520 I mean, this administration has shown time and again they 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:52.520 don't they hate the American people, and obviously they come supporters, 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.919 and so I won't be surprised if that that's the 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.720 motivation behind you. And that's a sad thing to kind 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.879 of think about, you know, And that's a that's a 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.080 sad thing of kind of like what the nation has 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.000 kind of come to. Well, you just gotta look at 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:08.760 a track record when it comes to other things, right, 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.600 I mean the Afghanistan with drawl, I mean that that 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.120 was a total mess and American citizens were left behind, 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.600 American citizens were killed. Ser wars men were killed in that, 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.040 and again that was because of just the complete lack 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:29.399 of direction in a crisis situation from from on the 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:35.679 Biden Harris administration. And so it's it's unfortunate that that 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.479 conversation needs to be brought up. And they say, well, actually, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.080 you know, if it hit you know, if if there 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.600 was a devastation in some of the more liberal areas 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.560 in North Carolina, and you know, they probably wouldn't they 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.560 wouldn't be as up up a river without a paddle 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.480 as opposed to now, I think, I think that's just sad. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.600 But I will also say, and that was kind of 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.640 what I was saying earlier. This is is much more 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.000 difficult than say a disaster response in Florida where thing's flat. 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.960 But that but so like, for example, when Biden came 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:13.119 to visit on the last Tuesday, I believe it was 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.119 last Tuesday, he was he was promising beforehand, he was 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:22.280 promising that my visit will not interrupt rescue operations, it 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.879 will not interrupt supply missions. Like this is just I 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.120 just want to go down there see for myself and 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:32.159 not interrupt anything that's going on. That sounded great, but 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.800 that's not what happened because because he's the president, there's 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.160 there was a no fly zone over in a thirty 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.480 mile radius over you know, Asheville, and it didn't it 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.360 didn't move too as he was moving because he flew over. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.800 That's a problem because again, the only way to get things, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.080 especially especially last week, the only way to get things 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:57.119 was by helicopter, and our flight crew was grounded for 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.680 two and a half hours. We did a supply mission 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.280 out side of the radius, and then we had to 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.920 sit for hours, you know, when time is of the essence, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:11.600 and so it's just like why He's like, yes, it's 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.600 it's important for the leader to be engaged. It's important 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.000 for the president to show show that he is looking 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.680 after the situation. But even his attempt to do that 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.920 just screw it over those people. I mean, it's it's 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.880 so ridiculous. So there's there's there's no there's no forethought, 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.320 there's no there's no forward planning when it comes to 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.159 something as simple as a visit. Right, so when it 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.280 comes to restoring these entire towns from scratch, almost that 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.479 they're not they're not the bust and brightest clearly. 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.240 Well, I think it's also just shown for the contrast 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.720 in my opinion of like Republican leadership versus Democrat leadership, 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.399 because you know, you look at the way that Governor 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.520 DeSantis is just like anytime any of these disastrous hit 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.320 he is already pre prepared. 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.200 He is all over it, like you know, they're. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.640 Restoring power and like record time, like rebuilding in record time, 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.439 or even you know, you look at the way Donald Trump, 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.600 as you mentioned, you know, got a lot of criticism, 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.399 but he was all over this stuff. You know, he 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:07.439 was the leader, like we knew he was in charge. 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.760
