Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, just like that, We're in the second hour
of today's show. It's a four hour program. Yeah, those
big dogs, you know, they only do three hours, and
some of them split it into two. Right, they got
two people hosting it, they split three hours an hour
and a half each. I do four hours all by
my lonesome, just me and myself and a microphone and
you in front of the speakers. And so that just
(00:28):
shows either I work cheap, I'm underpaid, or I don't know,
they're just not good enough to fill four hours. I
don't know, whatever the case may be. Welcome to the program.
Good to have you here. Second hour of today's broadcasting Again.
The big story is Hurricane Milton has cleared off the
east coast of Florida now, but the devastation is waking up.
(00:51):
I've seen one photo out of Sarasota. Everybody's kind of
reporting at Cocoa Beach, Orlando, Tampa places. But I know
last night a lot of the weather feeds as far
as velocity and stuff had shut down on some of
the networks because Sarasota, Fort Myers in the area south
of that had lost power and their lost communications. So
still waiting to see what that devastation is in some
(01:13):
of those places that were really on the forefront of
this storm, right where it crosshaired right onto the onder
the coastline. So stand by, will keep covering that. Ronda
Santis just gave a big speech here a moment ago,
kind of going over the damage and the recovery. And
we'll talk to Jay Ratlff a little bit later on
the program this morning, our aviation and travel expert. He
(01:35):
will be with us to talk about the reopening of airports.
Tampa has said they will reopen as of tomorrow, So
everybody stand by. Well, it's going to be a breaking
news day. I teased this story earlier. The Legal Council
of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has sent a cease
and desist order. Billy Graham of course passed away, I
think at twenty eighteen, was it a couple of years ago.
(01:57):
The association that controls his archives in his videos and
have sent a letter to the evangelicals for Harris after
their Political Action Committee rolled out a one million dollar
ad campaign last month and they used footage of the
late Billy Graham's sermon and they use that footage to
somehow attack President Donald J. Trump. A spokesperson for the Charlotte,
(02:18):
North Carolina based nonprofit tells The Christian Post the organization
generally avoids commenting on current or potential depth disputes, but
confirmed that the Evangelicals for Harris has now been threatened
with a lawsuit for alleged copyright infringement. The Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association says, we have communicated directly to this group
(02:39):
our concerns about the unauthorized and political use of Billy
Graham Evangelistic Association's copyrighted video, and we will continue to
take appropriate steps to address the matter. Evangelicals for Harris
has multiple ads in which they feature of sermons clips
from Billy Graham and then they try to play and
(03:00):
they show they showed Donald Trump as kind of the
guy that Billy Graham was preaching against, which is not.
He was just preaching from two Timothy three and said,
so they're using Billy Graham to try to say that
Billy Graham was condemning in Jesus himself condemned Donald Trump.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spokesperson suggested that Graham himself,
(03:21):
who died in twenty eighteen, who expressed regret and later
in life for getting a little bit too close to politics,
would have been offended that his sermons proclaiming the Gospel
of Jesus Christ were being used to attack a presidential
candidate and try to make a political point with a
gospel sermon, But the spokesperson said it may be worth
noting in all of his years of ministry and a
(03:41):
cross relationship with eleven presidents, Billy Graham only sought to
encourage presidents and offer them counsel of Christ. He says again,
he advised everyone, I think up to Obama. I think
Obama was the last one that he was an advisor
to and prayed with. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush H. W.
Bush Reagan Evangelicals for Harris is responding to the seasoned
(04:03):
desist by issuing a formal legal response and say that sorry,
you can't copyright. That it's a forty protection by the
section one oh seven of the copyright. The pack has
fired fired off a couple of other posts that that
there's say Franklin Graham is the Sun and he's political,
so we're going to steal his dad stuff. So it's
(04:23):
a legal mess amount to happen there, and evangelicals for
Harris says, no, you may have a copyright, but we
have a right to it because we're who we are,
so stand by on that one. That'll be an interesting
legal case that breaks out. A season desist has been ordered.
It happened at the end just a couple of days ago,
and we'll see what happens in the next couple of days.
All right, we're back to the hurricane coverage. Sarasota, Florida
(04:46):
is where the really the crosshairs of that hit. They
show a photo with the dock and the boat is
up on the dock. The house looks like it's still standing.
That's the only photo I've seen all morning from Sarasota area.
I'm sure that information is going to start coming out
here as we move forward. I have an ongoing question
this morning, and it's regarding both political campaigns. Donald J.
(05:09):
Trump has decided to come to Aurora, Colorado tomorrow. I
got to hold a rally, and what do you think
about that rally? Do you think it provides any political benefit?
I know people have called and send me emails how
excited they are to see it, and you know it's
the doors open at ten o'clock tomorrow. I believe the
rally starts at one o'clock and Trump's going to make
(05:30):
hay about the world of immigration. But what benefit do
you think it plays to Donald Trump in the state
of Colorado? Is there any benefit? And if there's no
benefit here, do you think there's benefit nationally to Donald
Trump's showing up there. The other question I have is
regarding Kamala Harris and her campaign strategy change that she's
(05:50):
been trying to be in the basement, hidden out like
a Joe Biden, hiding from COVID and evidently most people
that are prognosticating. Why is it that all of a
sudden she's done this media blitz, which by all accounts
has really kind of been a disaster for her. She
got some softball questions, you've seen crack your softball questions
from the view, would you change anything from Joe Biden? No,
(06:12):
I wouldn't, but you're obviously defeating the purpose of branding
herself as a new way forward. She basically says all
of Joe Biden policies are going to stay exactly as
they are because she wouldn't change anything. And then on
the Colbert show popping up open a Miller Highlight. They
said that was her favorite. Do you really think that
was her favorite? Really? I mean Miller high Life. Now,
(06:34):
if you're from Wisconsin, you can tell me how often
do you go to the bar in Wisconsin and go,
I'd like a Miller Highlight, this champagne of beer. Do
you do that? I've heard from a couple of people
to say they're from Wisconsin and say that's unusual. They
say that Miller high Life is kind of the Boutinki brand.
It's a kind of a retro brand. It's kind of
(06:54):
a fallback brand, and it's not like the day to
day drinking for a lot of people. You know, they say,
Wisconsin's like the rest of America. They're going to grab
a Cooper's Light or something like that. And yeah, they
may get a Miller high Life on occasion. But when
you have the opportunity to go on television and it's
just staged, it just seemed fake to grab the Miller
high Life. Did anybody else feel that way? I'm reading
(07:17):
that some people did. Maybe you can speak to it
if you have a background in Minnesota. Is excuse me,
Millwall Wisconsin, Wisconsin. I got to see it correctly. Wisconsin,
if you have a background, there is Miller. Did that
seem natural to you? Does she seem like an old
Wisconsin girl grabbing the Miller of high Life because that?
Or did that just seem like a cheap political fodder
(07:37):
and let's just grab the Miller high Life? It just
seemed to be staged to me. And then she said, oh,
the last time I had a beer was at a
baseball game with my husband Doug. Well that's great, isn't it.
May remember Elizabeth Warren go to the refrigerator and pull
out that beer. Well, let's grab you. Would you like
a beer deer? It's always stage. I don't know why
these people have a fascination about beer and why they
(07:58):
think it's I think they have to pretend that they're
average everyday Americans grabbing a beer from the fridge. It
just always seems so awkward with them, and somehow it
always becomes a camera, a photo shoot. In that part
I don't understand. All right, So I've got those two
questions on the campaigns. I've got the one on Donald Trump.
Do you think that it's going to benefit him in
(08:18):
any way nationally or locally to go to Aurora. I
don't see the benefit of it. Really. It does advance
the immigration conversation, but there's so many other states and
other places that maybe you should be moving a needle there.
Maybe this helps I don't know you can help me
with that one. But also for Kamala Harris, this media
blitz that she's been on, from the podcast that's usually
(08:41):
putt it quite sexual in nature, to the Colbert Show,
to the sixty Minutes to the View and all of
these things, do you think those benefit her? And why
do you think she's changed her strategy? And all of
a sudden in the forty eight hour period doing like
six interviews when up until since July she hasn't really
done any interviews. Why do you think that changed? Just strategy?
There's some there's a couple of posters out there that
(09:05):
are not conservative posters to say the internals are that
she needs to get out of there and start doing interviews.
So give me your thoughts on that. Do you think
these interviews will help her? Do you think that's why
she's doing them? I just why change the strategy at
this point of a campaign eight six six triple eight
fifty four to forty nine eight six six, triple eight
fifty four to forty nine. Yesterday I had Congressman Greg
Lopez on the program. If you're in the fourth Congressional
(09:27):
district and used to be represented by old Kenny Buck,
Kenny Buck combandoned post. Greg Lopez stepped up there in
a special election, says I will serve till the end
of the ken Buck term, and then of course whoever
wins November will take over. He's not running for the
seat after January. So he's been up in Washington, d C.
He's not wasting any time. And he was a little
(09:48):
bit late to yesterday's interview, and he told me he
was late to yesterday's interview because he had been on
the phone with the Trump people about the Friday event
in Aurora with Trump. And I used that I wasn't
on my thing that I thought I was going to
ask him by using answered, Greg, do you think it
benefits Donald Trump to actually come to Aurora? What do
you see the benefit as? Because I'm not necessarily seeing
(10:10):
the upside. And this is a portion of the interview.
It's up at my website Jimmy Leaky dot com. This
was his answer to the question, Greg Lopez answering my
question that I'm asking you, is it beneficial for Donald
Trump to come to Colorado? What's the point? Here's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, I think it's a very good strategic move
because it's going to focus on the immigration and the
open border. Look, we all know that the border of
the southern border is wide open. We're getting all kinds
of criminal elements coming in, all coident terrorism. So I
think him coming to Colorado and seeing what happened with
trend Regua, know what they were doing in the apartment buildings,
(10:49):
it's just a reflection of how the sail Biden Harris
administration is negatively impacting the quality of lives and the
safeties in our communities. And so he's going to highlight
that as a perfect example as to how their poor
decisions are impacting American lives.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I talked about this earlier, and I don't know if
it's been talked about in Washington yet, but this guy
that was arrested in Oklahoma City yesterday is a He's
an Afghan national. He got here on a special visa,
which means as people were fleeing Afghanistan after the debatched
withdrawal from Afghanistan. People said, oh, I'm under I'm in trouble,
(11:29):
and we just imported all these people and these special visas.
We imported a terrorist with no background check, had loyalty
to ISIS. Done. We've given special visas to Venezuelans. We
give these special visas no background checks, and it puts
people not just on the ground in danger, but national
security as we find out this guy had loyalty to
(11:49):
ISIS and we brought him in here as if he
was a refugee.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That's right. And look what's happening here now is they're
putting American citizens at the back of the line. They're
treating us like we're secondhand citizens and allowing non citizens
to actually enjoy all the privileges that we as American
citizens are supposed to have. And that's just playing wrong.
(12:13):
And this is it's going to continue until we have
a change in the administrations.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Let me ask you were watching on the screen across
my studio here, I'm watching the influx of Hurricane Milton
headed towards Florida, and then we already have the recovery
that's still underway in North Carolina parks of Florida as well.
Talk about FEMA. Is FEMA out of money? They say
they are. They say Congress needs to give them more money.
(12:40):
Tell me, as a federal emergency management agency, are they
really out of money? Help us understand because you're in
the halite halls of Congress that controls the purse strings.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, Jimmy, I'll tell you this. Remember I used
to be the head of SBA, and SBA has a
disaster component to it, and we join FEMA when these
types of things. And I can tell you FEMA is
not out of money. They have plenty of money to
at least mobilize and do things correctly. They've chosen to
allocate funds to once again right illegal immigrants. It's all
(13:14):
in the same pot. They have the ability to shift
appropriations from one project to another. So for them to
say they need more money, they're just not looking at
their budget. And Alejandomyoka is you know, he's not interested
in doing the right thing. He's interested in bankruptcy America.
And so I would tell you that, you know, I'm
(13:35):
very disappointed on the way FEMA's handling these issues. Because
they know they're coming. You would think that they would
have a strategic plan ready to implement as soon as
the storm subsides and it goes through land. But instead
you're seeing them scramble, you're seeing chaos. You're seeing something
that clearly shows that they're not organized at all. And
(13:59):
it's the same thing to see because they're not taking
care of American citizens and they're allowing them to just
be out there by themselves. They're not looking to do
true rescue missions. And we come on, we have the
best military in the world, and we can't reach some
of these locations. Let's just clean on.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Sitting here in the optics still look good. You have
these stories of immigrants in New York getting hotels of
one hundred and fifty hotels locked up in New York City,
paid for by the government, probably FEMA, and they're just
filled with people. You've got people living intents in North
Carolina right now. You've got this Afghani guy, and a
thousand of them showed up in Oklahoma City. They got
free airfare to Oklahoma City, they got housing, they got
(14:39):
everything they needed to kind of start their lives here.
It seems like we've got a lot of prioritization that's
wrong now that there's not people that need help. But
when you can't take care of the people of North Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
you have to ask yourself, how did all these people
come in from Afghanistan? How did the Haitians get fifty
thousand them get in Springfield, Ohio? How did the one
(15:00):
hundred and fifty hotels get filled and paid for in
New York City. There's money being spent, but it's not
seemingly being spent on the people that are hurting the
most right now in the USA.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That's correct. And then once again, the message that they're
sending is all American citizens are being classified as secondhand citizens.
We no longer are the priority. We no longer take
care of our veterans, take care of the people that
are suffering that are American citizens, And that's not America.
You know, they talk about the principles of America and
(15:32):
how we want to make sure that we're driving our
economic you know, we're prosperity and all those types of things.
But actions speak louder than words. The actions of this
administration clearly show that they're not interested in us. They
could give a damn about American citizens. They're focused more
on what's going on with the illegals and bringing people
(15:52):
in and spending millions and billions of dollars. Look, America
has a thirty five trillion dollar net debt. It grows
by a trillion dollars every hundred days. And when there's
misappropriations and people are not spending the money correctly, this
is what irritates and frustrates and it angers people. It
angers me, Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That was that's Greg Lopez. Now I want you to
go to the rest of that interview. Now you've got
to listen to what he says about zombie programs. That's
the next part. Have you ever heard of a zombie
program in Washington, DC? These are programs that have been
disallowed by Congress. They've been they've been abandoned by Congress.
There's been one hundred, one hundred and fifty of them
programs that are done. The Congress has said no more.
(16:34):
But because we don't do a proper budgeting process. The
best I can explain it is we continue to do
continuing resolutions, which continues funding. The continuing resolution basically doesn't rebudget,
doesn't reallocate, doesn't really reprioritize. It basically says, yeah, let's
do more of the same, more the same, more the same.
And we have these zombie programs that the programs have
(16:55):
been told, hey, we're canceling that program, but the funding
stays there because we keep doing these continuing resolutions for
the last ten years, fifteen years, and therefore the funding
for these programs continues. And so there's programs that you
can't kill because the funding still go into them. You
need to hear that part of the interview. It's up
in my website did Jimmie Lakey dot com. It's about
(17:17):
halfway through the interview I did yesterday morning with Greg Lopez.
Anybody heard his zombie programs? Thank god for Greg Lopez
telling us about him. You know, ken Buck always wanted
to talk about how we wanted to cut spending and
be a hawk on spending. I don't remember ken Buck
telling me about the old zombie programs, but he was
(17:37):
too busy getting out of town. I guess Saint Petersburg.
They're just showing some footage Hurricane ripped the roof off
Tropicana Field. Everybody stand by more tocom six hundred KCl.
(18:43):
I couldn't figure ou why I couldn't hear anything, and
I realized my headphone said, does come unplugged. I'm like,
I've gone deaf. I guess I've gone deaf. I better
learn sign language. It'll be good to have you here
on the show. Nice to have you, But my headphones said,
come unplugged. Here I am microphone still works though, just
now starting to get some footage out of southern Florida,
(19:06):
south of Tampa. The Tropicanas Center, I guess was a
staging area. The roof got ripped off that thing that
was in Saint Petersburg, all right, So down there, it's
a mess down there. Sure is not a lot of
footage coming out because I think a lot of folks
(19:27):
that have vacated and lost power down there. And so
Sarasota South is where we're waiting on some of the
reports to really come from. And I think they have
reports going on, but they don't have footage. And now
the footage is starting to come in. That's where I
think the Lion's share of the damage is. Evidently I'm
reading that wall. They were very fearful in Tampa that
not only did it downgrade, but the wall kind of
(19:51):
fell apart as it hit land, and that really saved Tampa,
even though it was south of Tampa. There were a
lot of fears that Tampa could be really destroyed with
that much rady. They haven't had a direct hit like that,
but that wall kind of fell apart. I'm reading some
takes on it, and again, I was just watching it
last night on the television, and I'm not a meteorologist,
(20:12):
but it seems as if that was the That was
a take that it just kind of dissipated and fell apart. Here. Hey,
before I get to the more news, I want to
remind you that if you do find yourself in a
situation and maybe a traffic accident, a car crash, maybe
maybe God forbid, it's a wrongful death in your and
your family's lifeless, and you need to make sure that

other parties going hey, we'll give you this, we'll give this,

a serious firm for serious cases. Dankaplesslaw dot com, Dan
caplisslaw dot com. Be sure to tell him that Jimmy
Lakey told you to be in touch. I have this
story or these questions out there that two questions, two
tiered question, one on each candidate. Do you think it
(22:02):
benefits Donald J. Trump to come to Aurora? Is it
a distraction for the campaign or is it a benefit
for the campaign? I don't think it's going to help
him electorally. I mean, the crowd is growing. They said
they're up to what twelve thousand now, they thought it
had about four thousand. They're a capacity that's inside. I mean,
the Gaylord Center tomorrow's going to probably just be overrun
and inundated. His rallies do draw, and I'm sure there's
(22:27):
a lot of people excited to see him. But in
the grand scheme of things, outside of your personal excitement
and fandom, is there is there a great benefit to
Donald Trump for being here in Colorado? Don't I don't
think there's benefit in Colorado. Perhaps maybe on some other tickets.
I down tickets. I don't know. That's why he's going
to campaign in New York as well. But nationally, do
you think it helps him And the other question I
have is regarding Kamali's campaign. Do you think this new
(22:49):
strategy of going out and do these interviews, do you
think that those help her? There's one thing I just
kind of been stewing this around in my head, and
you tell me I'm wrong if you think I'm wrong.
When she was asked on the View this simple question,
just tell me, is there something you would do different
than Joe Biden? Is there something you would change, something
you'd do different? And the quote she said, there is
(23:12):
not a thing that comes to mind. Now you think
of four years of a presidency and decisions are made,
sometimes with a good intention, sometimes with agendas, whatever, But
you can't think of anything that you would do different.
That's a strange answer to me. It's kind of a
weak answer, and it goes against the narrative. If I'm
a new way forward and I'm going to fix all
(23:32):
these things that are broken, well they're broken because I
am very confused. They're not going to change anything. So
how are you going to fix what you say is broken?
And I want you to think of that phrase, there's
not a thing I would change? Is there something you
would change? And your answer would be there is not
a thing that comes to mind. Is there any part
of your life that you couldn't think of something that
you might change? Regarding your career choice, a job, a
(23:56):
salary that you took, would you say every decision you
made in that career, There's not a thing that comes
to mind a job. What about your health decisions? Some
people wait till later in life to get healthy. Some
people get sick and then they go, Wow, I wish
I would have changed my health earlier. There's just not
every aspect of our lives. We can all think of
something I think in which if we had it to
(24:17):
do over again, or looking back, having learned from the experience,
we would do something differently. Maybe it's in your marriage
or maybe your former marriage. If to you, I would
have done this differently, I would have chosen this differently.
Maybe would have chosen a different spouse. I don't know.
But we can all think in every aspect of our lives,
something that we would say, you know what, knowing what
I know now, looking at what I look at now,
(24:39):
I thought it was the right decision at the time,
but yeah, I would do this differently now. Even in
raising our kids, you can be a great parent. I
think I'm a decent parent to my son. But I
can probably go back and think of some things and
put to it and say, yeah, you know what, I'd
probably do that differently. I do that differently. So when
you think of it in that context that there's not
one thing in our lives, I don't think there's anything
(25:00):
an area of your life. Maybe it's in your education.
I wish I would have gotten this degree. I wish
I would. Maybe I wish I wouldn't wasted that money
at college. Maybe it's I wish I would have gone
to trade school. I mean, we can all think of
sometimes I sit behind this microphone and say why didn't
go to law school? Why didn't I finish that? But
in all seriousness, I think in every part of our
life we can think of things that we would do differently.
(25:22):
We can think of decisions and not that we want
to spend our life playing what it could have should
have because what the decisions we made led us to
where we're at now. But we can think of things
along the way that, yeah, I would do this with differently.
With my kids, I would do different this differently. With
my marriage, I would have made a different career choice
here or a different relationship choice here. We can all
think of things looking back. We didn't intend to screw
(25:45):
things up or make bad decisions, but looking back, we
could do that. And so the right way to answer
that question I think for most people, isa Hey, looking
back at what would you do differently than Joe Biden?
You don't have to throw Joe under the bus, but
it seems like there'd be a thoughtful answer it. Maybe
you say something like this, you know, looking back on uh,
I think we did the best we could and we
did did a good job. But looking back, man, I
(26:06):
wish I think we should. I'd like to revisit, knowing
what we know now, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I mean,
there are ways to do that without just signing up
and saying everything. It doesn't help, right. I don't understand
that answer to save my life, Because if you're being
honest in every aspect of our life, then we all
can think of something we would have done differently knowing
(26:28):
what we know now. And when you're asked that question,
knowing what you know now, what would you do differently
than Joe Biden? Can't think of anything that just a
disingenuous answer. That's an answer that if you answer that question,
you're going to have to get into some detail. And
it really was the most bizarre answer when you start
putting it in context and thinking about how the average
American lives, that we would do something differently. Maybe it's
(26:52):
the car you bought, Maybe it's the money you spent.
Maybe maybe it's the house shod bought, maybe the neighborhood.
We could all think of something we do differently, but
in something as a job for four you can't think
of anything in your job that you would do differently
after four years. I think most of us can think
of something in the job. If we had a job
for three and a half four years, we can think
of something we would have done differently in that job
(27:14):
or that career path. But that was a weird answer
on the view, and maybe you could explain it. Maybe
you think it's a fantastic answer. I think it's a
strange answer because I think people don't relate to that.
We look at the world, we look at what's happening
in our lives, not just politically, but just in our
regular lives, that we think of things we would change,
and there's no political decision you would change. That's weird
(27:36):
to me anyway. I throw that out there for your
contemplation and your consideration. I think that was probably the
most strange part of this media hype tour that's been
going on. And it's an honest question. I throw it
out there. Do you think it's helpful or do you
think this is why? Do you think the change of
strategy from Kamala the same way I ask you, do
you think it's helpful for Donald J. Trump to come
to town tomorrow in Colorado? Eight six six triple eight
(27:59):
fifty nine. If you've got to be in your bonnet,
a burn your saddle, love to hear from you. Also
send me a message on the Facebook Facebook dot com
slash Jimmy Lakey fan page stand by six hundred k cool.
(28:45):
All right here, we are welcome to the program. Sun
has risen on Florida. Right now. They're showing a video
on the news monitor from Bradenton Beach, Florida. Check that out.
Bradenton Beach, Florida is also where the reporter last night,
Robert Ray was standing on there for the Fox News.
(29:06):
I guess Robert raised his name. He was out there
risking life and limb. Power lines were breaking behind him
and handed he had him on, going we'll let you
get back to safety, but we got one more damn
question for you. And I'm like, what you're saying is
I'm Sean Hannity and I'm more important than your safety.
And when I'm done with you, boy, you can go
back to safety. I thought it was a pathetic last
(29:27):
night that all the networks had these reporters out there
just to prove how fast the wind was blowing. Is
there any benefit to that? The photo of Robert Ray
that I screenshot off, I was in my cigar lounge
at my house, and I was actually not smoking a cigar.
I was just sitting there. It's a comfortable room and
indirect lighting, and I was just watching the television and
there and just winding down about to go to bed,
(29:49):
and I watched this coverage I was scanning through. I
record all these shows and that we don't have to
tolerate all of them because some of them just can't
bear them all. And so I recorded this fast forward
through the hurricane coverage and there's this guy out there.
Look at the screenshot, it's him. A Facebook page, Facebook
Dot com slash Jimi Leakey fan page, and somebody told
me the point that this was like the highest he
(30:10):
was standing. He actually squatted lower than that to try
to report and what is he gaining here? At one point,
if you go back and watch a live video behind him,
there were power lines snapping at times, sparks were flying,
and he's out there on the streets. So that Fox
News and I don't know if Hannity was the only guy,
but so that they could talk to this fella. But
(30:30):
they admitted that he will let you get to safety
after this question. What arrogance is that? I know they
didn't mean it to be arrogance, but it basically says, hey,
my show is more important. I need some sensationalism, like
the National Inchoir showing boobies at the checkout stand or
something at the King soupers. I need you, I need
I need you. I need some lookie lose here. I
need to look like you're in danger and that way
(30:51):
to a boosts my ratings. It was really a height
of arrogance, and I called out on my Facebook page,
and that's probably why I don't have gigs at see
and Entner Fox News because I afraid of him, but
a shame on them for using this kind of stuff.
This is this is a journalistic malpractice in my life,
in my sense. And again, Robert Ray's got to do
what he's got to do. He's he's he's like many people.
(31:16):
He has to bow down to his corporate god and
do his thing. But he's risking his life out there.
And maybe it's a good news reel later on, but
I ask you as a listener, as a viewer, is
there anything that you benefit from that? Go look at
that photo and again that's the highest he was standing.
He actually squatted lower than that, just to to change
his height so that he didn't get blown over in
(31:36):
the report. And his mic kept going out. It was
obviously they were having technical difficulties. And then they kept going, Hey,
we'll talk about something else. We'll come back. You keep
standing there, but fix your problems for us. And I
thought it was just I thought it was idiotic. It
was a real bad taste in my mouth for the
coverage of the of the hurricane last night. And it
wasn't just Fox News. I am picking here on Fox,
(31:58):
but CNN was doing as well. All these networks do this.
They get these reporters out there and put them in
dangerous situations, and shame on these big conglomerate, big corporations
that use their people and abuse them like that. It
was wrong. I'm pretty passionate about it. I really, I
just don't like it. I was watching the last night
and not caring about the storm at that point. I
(32:18):
cared about this person, Robert Ray, and said, get him
off the damn streets. But it seems like Hannity in
his safe studio, or the corporate gods and the editorial
boards or whoever at the Fox or the CNN, they
didn't care about this cat. Just get him out there. God,
I could have died. I mean, power lines were falling
around to hey, we'll get you in safety. We got
one more question. Someone go to my Facebook page. Everybody
(32:40):
go their comment on it and Facebook dot com slash
Jimmy Lackey fan page, Facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lakey fanpage,
Facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lackey fan page. I mean,
there's plenty of times to stick your reporters and standing
in puddles of water. Today they're gonna get plenty of that,
and I hope They're all careful, but sticking them out
there when the hurry Caine is blowing an eighty ninety
(33:01):
mile per hour wind and power lines are breaking around
a reporter and he can't even go out there without
goggles and a helmet, and we put him on live television.
What point did it prove to anybody? Did anybody? I
don't know what point it proved to anybody, but I
thought it was kind of disgusting by these networks, and
it always is. I get sick of their The way
(33:22):
they cover politics, the way they cover weather. It's all hyperbolic.
It's all to stem you up and to make you
feel this thread, rather than just give me the facts.
I don't need some dramatization of this guy out there
risking his life just so I'll turnize to your network.
I want the news and I'll figure it out. Shame
on the networks last night for putting these reporters at risk.
(33:43):
But you know, should we be surprised. I guess the
corporate gods kicking the little plebeian reporters of the curb.
This guy's probably making a penance every year, and they
got to be in a helmet out there. Probably went
to wall. Hey, get you out. We got a helmet
for you in Walmart. Stick this on hand it he's
got questions for you. Stand By six hundred KCl
All right, just like that, We're in the second hour
of today's show. It's a four hour program. Yeah, those
big dogs, you know, they only do three hours, and
some of them split it into two. Right, they got
two people hosting it, they split three hours an hour
and a half each. I do four hours all by
my lonesome, just me and myself and a microphone and
you in front of the speakers. And so that just
(00:28):
shows either I work cheap, I'm underpaid, or I don't know,
they're just not good enough to fill four hours. I
don't know, whatever the case may be. Welcome to the program.
Good to have you here. Second hour of today's broadcasting Again.
The big story is Hurricane Milton has cleared off the
east coast of Florida now, but the devastation is waking up.
(00:51):
I've seen one photo out of Sarasota. Everybody's kind of
reporting at Cocoa Beach, Orlando, Tampa places. But I know
last night a lot of the weather feeds as far
as velocity and stuff had shut down on some of
the networks because Sarasota, Fort Myers in the area south
of that had lost power and their lost communications. So
still waiting to see what that devastation is in some
(01:13):
of those places that were really on the forefront of
this storm, right where it crosshaired right onto the onder
the coastline. So stand by, will keep covering that. Ronda
Santis just gave a big speech here a moment ago,
kind of going over the damage and the recovery. And
we'll talk to Jay Ratlff a little bit later on
the program this morning, our aviation and travel expert. He
(01:35):
will be with us to talk about the reopening of airports.
Tampa has said they will reopen as of tomorrow, So
everybody stand by. Well, it's going to be a breaking
news day. I teased this story earlier. The Legal Council
of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has sent a cease
and desist order. Billy Graham of course passed away, I
think at twenty eighteen, was it a couple of years ago.
(01:57):
The association that controls his archives in his videos and
have sent a letter to the evangelicals for Harris after
their Political Action Committee rolled out a one million dollar
ad campaign last month and they used footage of the
late Billy Graham's sermon and they use that footage to
somehow attack President Donald J. Trump. A spokesperson for the Charlotte,
(02:18):
North Carolina based nonprofit tells The Christian Post the organization
generally avoids commenting on current or potential depth disputes, but
confirmed that the Evangelicals for Harris has now been threatened
with a lawsuit for alleged copyright infringement. The Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association says, we have communicated directly to this group
(02:39):
our concerns about the unauthorized and political use of Billy
Graham Evangelistic Association's copyrighted video, and we will continue to
take appropriate steps to address the matter. Evangelicals for Harris
has multiple ads in which they feature of sermons clips
from Billy Graham and then they try to play and
(03:00):
they show they showed Donald Trump as kind of the
guy that Billy Graham was preaching against, which is not.
He was just preaching from two Timothy three and said,
so they're using Billy Graham to try to say that
Billy Graham was condemning in Jesus himself condemned Donald Trump.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spokesperson suggested that Graham himself,
(03:21):
who died in twenty eighteen, who expressed regret and later
in life for getting a little bit too close to politics,
would have been offended that his sermons proclaiming the Gospel
of Jesus Christ were being used to attack a presidential
candidate and try to make a political point with a
gospel sermon, But the spokesperson said it may be worth
noting in all of his years of ministry and a
(03:41):
cross relationship with eleven presidents, Billy Graham only sought to
encourage presidents and offer them counsel of Christ. He says again,
he advised everyone, I think up to Obama. I think
Obama was the last one that he was an advisor
to and prayed with. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush H. W.
Bush Reagan Evangelicals for Harris is responding to the seasoned
(04:03):
desist by issuing a formal legal response and say that sorry,
you can't copyright. That it's a forty protection by the
section one oh seven of the copyright. The pack has
fired fired off a couple of other posts that that
there's say Franklin Graham is the Sun and he's political,
so we're going to steal his dad stuff. So it's
(04:23):
a legal mess amount to happen there, and evangelicals for
Harris says, no, you may have a copyright, but we
have a right to it because we're who we are,
so stand by on that one. That'll be an interesting
legal case that breaks out. A season desist has been ordered.
It happened at the end just a couple of days ago,
and we'll see what happens in the next couple of days.
All right, we're back to the hurricane coverage. Sarasota, Florida
(04:46):
is where the really the crosshairs of that hit. They
show a photo with the dock and the boat is
up on the dock. The house looks like it's still standing.
That's the only photo I've seen all morning from Sarasota area.
I'm sure that information is going to start coming out
here as we move forward. I have an ongoing question
this morning, and it's regarding both political campaigns. Donald J.
(05:09):
Trump has decided to come to Aurora, Colorado tomorrow. I
got to hold a rally, and what do you think
about that rally? Do you think it provides any political benefit?
I know people have called and send me emails how
excited they are to see it, and you know it's
the doors open at ten o'clock tomorrow. I believe the
rally starts at one o'clock and Trump's going to make
(05:30):
hay about the world of immigration. But what benefit do
you think it plays to Donald Trump in the state
of Colorado? Is there any benefit? And if there's no
benefit here, do you think there's benefit nationally to Donald
Trump's showing up there. The other question I have is
regarding Kamala Harris and her campaign strategy change that she's
(05:50):
been trying to be in the basement, hidden out like
a Joe Biden, hiding from COVID and evidently most people
that are prognosticating. Why is it that all of a
sudden she's done this media blitz, which by all accounts
has really kind of been a disaster for her. She
got some softball questions, you've seen crack your softball questions
from the view, would you change anything from Joe Biden? No,
(06:12):
I wouldn't, but you're obviously defeating the purpose of branding
herself as a new way forward. She basically says all
of Joe Biden policies are going to stay exactly as
they are because she wouldn't change anything. And then on
the Colbert show popping up open a Miller Highlight. They
said that was her favorite. Do you really think that
was her favorite? Really? I mean Miller high Life. Now,
(06:34):
if you're from Wisconsin, you can tell me how often
do you go to the bar in Wisconsin and go,
I'd like a Miller Highlight, this champagne of beer. Do
you do that? I've heard from a couple of people
to say they're from Wisconsin and say that's unusual. They
say that Miller high Life is kind of the Boutinki brand.
It's a kind of a retro brand. It's kind of
(06:54):
a fallback brand, and it's not like the day to
day drinking for a lot of people. You know, they say,
Wisconsin's like the rest of America. They're going to grab
a Cooper's Light or something like that. And yeah, they
may get a Miller high Life on occasion. But when
you have the opportunity to go on television and it's
just staged, it just seemed fake to grab the Miller
high Life. Did anybody else feel that way? I'm reading
(07:17):
that some people did. Maybe you can speak to it
if you have a background in Minnesota. Is excuse me,
Millwall Wisconsin, Wisconsin. I got to see it correctly. Wisconsin,
if you have a background, there is Miller. Did that
seem natural to you? Does she seem like an old
Wisconsin girl grabbing the Miller of high Life because that?
Or did that just seem like a cheap political fodder
(07:37):
and let's just grab the Miller high Life? It just
seemed to be staged to me. And then she said, oh,
the last time I had a beer was at a
baseball game with my husband Doug. Well that's great, isn't it.
May remember Elizabeth Warren go to the refrigerator and pull
out that beer. Well, let's grab you. Would you like
a beer deer? It's always stage. I don't know why
these people have a fascination about beer and why they
(07:58):
think it's I think they have to pretend that they're
average everyday Americans grabbing a beer from the fridge. It
just always seems so awkward with them, and somehow it
always becomes a camera, a photo shoot. In that part
I don't understand. All right, So I've got those two
questions on the campaigns. I've got the one on Donald Trump.
Do you think that it's going to benefit him in
(08:18):
any way nationally or locally to go to Aurora. I
don't see the benefit of it. Really. It does advance
the immigration conversation, but there's so many other states and
other places that maybe you should be moving a needle there.
Maybe this helps I don't know you can help me
with that one. But also for Kamala Harris, this media
blitz that she's been on, from the podcast that's usually
(08:41):
putt it quite sexual in nature, to the Colbert Show,
to the sixty Minutes to the View and all of
these things, do you think those benefit her? And why
do you think she's changed her strategy? And all of
a sudden in the forty eight hour period doing like
six interviews when up until since July she hasn't really
done any interviews. Why do you think that changed? Just strategy?
There's some there's a couple of posters out there that
(09:05):
are not conservative posters to say the internals are that
she needs to get out of there and start doing interviews.
So give me your thoughts on that. Do you think
these interviews will help her? Do you think that's why
she's doing them? I just why change the strategy at
this point of a campaign eight six six triple eight
fifty four to forty nine eight six six, triple eight
fifty four to forty nine. Yesterday I had Congressman Greg
Lopez on the program. If you're in the fourth Congressional
(09:27):
district and used to be represented by old Kenny Buck,
Kenny Buck combandoned post. Greg Lopez stepped up there in
a special election, says I will serve till the end
of the ken Buck term, and then of course whoever
wins November will take over. He's not running for the
seat after January. So he's been up in Washington, d C.
He's not wasting any time. And he was a little
(09:48):
bit late to yesterday's interview, and he told me he
was late to yesterday's interview because he had been on
the phone with the Trump people about the Friday event
in Aurora with Trump. And I used that I wasn't
on my thing that I thought I was going to
ask him by using answered, Greg, do you think it
benefits Donald Trump to actually come to Aurora? What do
you see the benefit as? Because I'm not necessarily seeing
(10:10):
the upside. And this is a portion of the interview.
It's up at my website Jimmy Leaky dot com. This
was his answer to the question, Greg Lopez answering my
question that I'm asking you, is it beneficial for Donald
Trump to come to Colorado? What's the point? Here's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, I think it's a very good strategic move
because it's going to focus on the immigration and the
open border. Look, we all know that the border of
the southern border is wide open. We're getting all kinds
of criminal elements coming in, all coident terrorism. So I
think him coming to Colorado and seeing what happened with
trend Regua, know what they were doing in the apartment buildings,
(10:49):
it's just a reflection of how the sail Biden Harris
administration is negatively impacting the quality of lives and the
safeties in our communities. And so he's going to highlight
that as a perfect example as to how their poor
decisions are impacting American lives.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I talked about this earlier, and I don't know if
it's been talked about in Washington yet, but this guy
that was arrested in Oklahoma City yesterday is a He's
an Afghan national. He got here on a special visa,
which means as people were fleeing Afghanistan after the debatched
withdrawal from Afghanistan. People said, oh, I'm under I'm in trouble,
(11:29):
and we just imported all these people and these special visas.
We imported a terrorist with no background check, had loyalty
to ISIS. Done. We've given special visas to Venezuelans. We
give these special visas no background checks, and it puts
people not just on the ground in danger, but national
security as we find out this guy had loyalty to
(11:49):
ISIS and we brought him in here as if he
was a refugee.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That's right. And look what's happening here now is they're
putting American citizens at the back of the line. They're
treating us like we're secondhand citizens and allowing non citizens
to actually enjoy all the privileges that we as American
citizens are supposed to have. And that's just playing wrong.
(12:13):
And this is it's going to continue until we have
a change in the administrations.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Let me ask you were watching on the screen across
my studio here, I'm watching the influx of Hurricane Milton
headed towards Florida, and then we already have the recovery
that's still underway in North Carolina parks of Florida as well.
Talk about FEMA. Is FEMA out of money? They say
they are. They say Congress needs to give them more money.
(12:40):
Tell me, as a federal emergency management agency, are they
really out of money? Help us understand because you're in
the halite halls of Congress that controls the purse strings.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, Jimmy, I'll tell you this. Remember I used
to be the head of SBA, and SBA has a
disaster component to it, and we join FEMA when these
types of things. And I can tell you FEMA is
not out of money. They have plenty of money to
at least mobilize and do things correctly. They've chosen to
allocate funds to once again right illegal immigrants. It's all
(13:14):
in the same pot. They have the ability to shift
appropriations from one project to another. So for them to
say they need more money, they're just not looking at
their budget. And Alejandomyoka is you know, he's not interested
in doing the right thing. He's interested in bankruptcy America.
And so I would tell you that, you know, I'm
(13:35):
very disappointed on the way FEMA's handling these issues. Because
they know they're coming. You would think that they would
have a strategic plan ready to implement as soon as
the storm subsides and it goes through land. But instead
you're seeing them scramble, you're seeing chaos. You're seeing something
that clearly shows that they're not organized at all. And
(13:59):
it's the same thing to see because they're not taking
care of American citizens and they're allowing them to just
be out there by themselves. They're not looking to do
true rescue missions. And we come on, we have the
best military in the world, and we can't reach some
of these locations. Let's just clean on.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Sitting here in the optics still look good. You have
these stories of immigrants in New York getting hotels of
one hundred and fifty hotels locked up in New York City,
paid for by the government, probably FEMA, and they're just
filled with people. You've got people living intents in North
Carolina right now. You've got this Afghani guy, and a
thousand of them showed up in Oklahoma City. They got
free airfare to Oklahoma City, they got housing, they got
(14:39):
everything they needed to kind of start their lives here.
It seems like we've got a lot of prioritization that's
wrong now that there's not people that need help. But
when you can't take care of the people of North Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
you have to ask yourself, how did all these people
come in from Afghanistan? How did the Haitians get fifty
thousand them get in Springfield, Ohio? How did the one
(15:00):
hundred and fifty hotels get filled and paid for in
New York City. There's money being spent, but it's not
seemingly being spent on the people that are hurting the
most right now in the USA.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That's correct. And then once again, the message that they're
sending is all American citizens are being classified as secondhand citizens.
We no longer are the priority. We no longer take
care of our veterans, take care of the people that
are suffering that are American citizens, And that's not America.
You know, they talk about the principles of America and
(15:32):
how we want to make sure that we're driving our
economic you know, we're prosperity and all those types of things.
But actions speak louder than words. The actions of this
administration clearly show that they're not interested in us. They
could give a damn about American citizens. They're focused more
on what's going on with the illegals and bringing people
(15:52):
in and spending millions and billions of dollars. Look, America
has a thirty five trillion dollar net debt. It grows
by a trillion dollars every hundred days. And when there's
misappropriations and people are not spending the money correctly, this
is what irritates and frustrates and it angers people. It
angers me, Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That was that's Greg Lopez. Now I want you to
go to the rest of that interview. Now you've got
to listen to what he says about zombie programs. That's
the next part. Have you ever heard of a zombie
program in Washington, DC? These are programs that have been
disallowed by Congress. They've been they've been abandoned by Congress.
There's been one hundred, one hundred and fifty of them
programs that are done. The Congress has said no more.
(16:34):
But because we don't do a proper budgeting process. The
best I can explain it is we continue to do
continuing resolutions, which continues funding. The continuing resolution basically doesn't rebudget,
doesn't reallocate, doesn't really reprioritize. It basically says, yeah, let's
do more of the same, more the same, more the same.
And we have these zombie programs that the programs have
(16:55):
been told, hey, we're canceling that program, but the funding
stays there because we keep doing these continuing resolutions for
the last ten years, fifteen years, and therefore the funding
for these programs continues. And so there's programs that you
can't kill because the funding still go into them. You
need to hear that part of the interview. It's up
in my website did Jimmie Lakey dot com. It's about
(17:17):
halfway through the interview I did yesterday morning with Greg Lopez.
Anybody heard his zombie programs? Thank god for Greg Lopez
telling us about him. You know, ken Buck always wanted
to talk about how we wanted to cut spending and
be a hawk on spending. I don't remember ken Buck
telling me about the old zombie programs, but he was
(17:37):
too busy getting out of town. I guess Saint Petersburg.
They're just showing some footage Hurricane ripped the roof off
Tropicana Field. Everybody stand by more tocom six hundred KCl.
(18:43):
I couldn't figure ou why I couldn't hear anything, and
I realized my headphone said, does come unplugged. I'm like,
I've gone deaf. I guess I've gone deaf. I better
learn sign language. It'll be good to have you here
on the show. Nice to have you, But my headphones said,
come unplugged. Here I am microphone still works though, just
now starting to get some footage out of southern Florida,
(19:06):
south of Tampa. The Tropicanas Center, I guess was a
staging area. The roof got ripped off that thing that
was in Saint Petersburg, all right, So down there, it's
a mess down there. Sure is not a lot of
footage coming out because I think a lot of folks
(19:27):
that have vacated and lost power down there. And so
Sarasota South is where we're waiting on some of the
reports to really come from. And I think they have
reports going on, but they don't have footage. And now
the footage is starting to come in. That's where I
think the Lion's share of the damage is. Evidently I'm
reading that wall. They were very fearful in Tampa that
not only did it downgrade, but the wall kind of
(19:51):
fell apart as it hit land, and that really saved Tampa,
even though it was south of Tampa. There were a
lot of fears that Tampa could be really destroyed with
that much rady. They haven't had a direct hit like that,
but that wall kind of fell apart. I'm reading some
takes on it, and again, I was just watching it
last night on the television, and I'm not a meteorologist,
(20:12):
but it seems as if that was the That was
a take that it just kind of dissipated and fell apart. Here. Hey,
before I get to the more news, I want to
remind you that if you do find yourself in a
situation and maybe a traffic accident, a car crash, maybe
maybe God forbid, it's a wrongful death in your and
your family's lifeless, and you need to make sure that
you know that you've got to have the best representation
(20:35):
out there. You've got insurance companies calling you for the
other parties going hey, we'll give you this, we'll give this,
just go away, and you're like, no, not that simple,
but you don't know what to do. Listen, Dan Capitalist
Dan Capitalist Law ready to talk to you and help you.
They take on righteous injury cases on a percentage fee basis.
What that means for you is a good people form
all walks of life, with no regard to your bank account,
(20:57):
your net worth, or your ability to pay. You're going
to get an elite level of legal representation that is
going to get you what you deserve from that opposing
insurance company. They're just trying to make you shut up
and go away, and Dan Capless is going to make
sure you get what is deserved, what you deserve in
that situation. He's a big time lawyer. And if you
want these insurance companies to take take you seriously, I'll

your side. Dan Caplis Law d D A n U

website you can learn more. It's a serious firm for
serious cases. And again he's the official law partner for
the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets at the Jimmy Lakey Show.
When it comes to these injury situations. Dankaplesslaw dot com.
(21:40):
You want him to take you seriously, You've got to
have the big time guy, and that is Dan Capless
a serious firm for serious cases. Dankaplesslaw dot com, Dan
caplisslaw dot com. Be sure to tell him that Jimmy
Lakey told you to be in touch. I have this
story or these questions out there that two questions, two
tiered question, one on each candidate. Do you think it
(22:02):
benefits Donald J. Trump to come to Aurora? Is it
a distraction for the campaign or is it a benefit
for the campaign? I don't think it's going to help
him electorally. I mean, the crowd is growing. They said
they're up to what twelve thousand now, they thought it
had about four thousand. They're a capacity that's inside. I mean,
the Gaylord Center tomorrow's going to probably just be overrun
and inundated. His rallies do draw, and I'm sure there's
(22:27):
a lot of people excited to see him. But in
the grand scheme of things, outside of your personal excitement
and fandom, is there is there a great benefit to
Donald Trump for being here in Colorado? Don't I don't
think there's benefit in Colorado. Perhaps maybe on some other tickets.
I down tickets. I don't know. That's why he's going
to campaign in New York as well. But nationally, do
you think it helps him And the other question I
have is regarding Kamali's campaign. Do you think this new
(22:49):
strategy of going out and do these interviews, do you
think that those help her? There's one thing I just
kind of been stewing this around in my head, and
you tell me I'm wrong if you think I'm wrong.
When she was asked on the View this simple question,
just tell me, is there something you would do different
than Joe Biden? Is there something you would change, something
you'd do different? And the quote she said, there is
(23:12):
not a thing that comes to mind. Now you think
of four years of a presidency and decisions are made,
sometimes with a good intention, sometimes with agendas, whatever, But
you can't think of anything that you would do different.
That's a strange answer to me. It's kind of a
weak answer, and it goes against the narrative. If I'm
a new way forward and I'm going to fix all
(23:32):
these things that are broken, well they're broken because I
am very confused. They're not going to change anything. So
how are you going to fix what you say is broken?
And I want you to think of that phrase, there's
not a thing I would change? Is there something you
would change? And your answer would be there is not
a thing that comes to mind. Is there any part
of your life that you couldn't think of something that
you might change? Regarding your career choice, a job, a
(23:56):
salary that you took, would you say every decision you
made in that career, There's not a thing that comes
to mind a job. What about your health decisions? Some
people wait till later in life to get healthy. Some
people get sick and then they go, Wow, I wish
I would have changed my health earlier. There's just not
every aspect of our lives. We can all think of
something I think in which if we had it to
(24:17):
do over again, or looking back, having learned from the experience,
we would do something differently. Maybe it's in your marriage
or maybe your former marriage. If to you, I would
have done this differently, I would have chosen this differently.
Maybe would have chosen a different spouse. I don't know.
But we can all think in every aspect of our lives,
something that we would say, you know what, knowing what
I know now, looking at what I look at now,
(24:39):
I thought it was the right decision at the time,
but yeah, I would do this differently now. Even in
raising our kids, you can be a great parent. I
think I'm a decent parent to my son. But I
can probably go back and think of some things and
put to it and say, yeah, you know what, I'd
probably do that differently. I do that differently. So when
you think of it in that context that there's not
one thing in our lives, I don't think there's anything
(25:00):
an area of your life. Maybe it's in your education.
I wish I would have gotten this degree. I wish
I would. Maybe I wish I wouldn't wasted that money
at college. Maybe it's I wish I would have gone
to trade school. I mean, we can all think of
sometimes I sit behind this microphone and say why didn't
go to law school? Why didn't I finish that? But
in all seriousness, I think in every part of our
life we can think of things that we would do differently.
(25:22):
We can think of decisions and not that we want
to spend our life playing what it could have should
have because what the decisions we made led us to
where we're at now. But we can think of things
along the way that, yeah, I would do this with differently.
With my kids, I would do different this differently. With
my marriage, I would have made a different career choice
here or a different relationship choice here. We can all
think of things looking back. We didn't intend to screw
(25:45):
things up or make bad decisions, but looking back, we
could do that. And so the right way to answer
that question I think for most people, isa Hey, looking
back at what would you do differently than Joe Biden?
You don't have to throw Joe under the bus, but
it seems like there'd be a thoughtful answer it. Maybe
you say something like this, you know, looking back on uh,
I think we did the best we could and we
did did a good job. But looking back, man, I
(26:06):
wish I think we should. I'd like to revisit, knowing
what we know now, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I mean,
there are ways to do that without just signing up
and saying everything. It doesn't help, right. I don't understand
that answer to save my life, Because if you're being
honest in every aspect of our life, then we all
can think of something we would have done differently knowing
(26:28):
what we know now. And when you're asked that question,
knowing what you know now, what would you do differently
than Joe Biden? Can't think of anything that just a
disingenuous answer. That's an answer that if you answer that question,
you're going to have to get into some detail. And
it really was the most bizarre answer when you start
putting it in context and thinking about how the average
American lives, that we would do something differently. Maybe it's
(26:52):
the car you bought, Maybe it's the money you spent.
Maybe maybe it's the house shod bought, maybe the neighborhood.
We could all think of something we do differently, but
in something as a job for four you can't think
of anything in your job that you would do differently
after four years. I think most of us can think
of something in the job. If we had a job
for three and a half four years, we can think
of something we would have done differently in that job
(27:14):
or that career path. But that was a weird answer
on the view, and maybe you could explain it. Maybe
you think it's a fantastic answer. I think it's a
strange answer because I think people don't relate to that.
We look at the world, we look at what's happening
in our lives, not just politically, but just in our
regular lives, that we think of things we would change,
and there's no political decision you would change. That's weird
(27:36):
to me anyway. I throw that out there for your
contemplation and your consideration. I think that was probably the
most strange part of this media hype tour that's been
going on. And it's an honest question. I throw it
out there. Do you think it's helpful or do you
think this is why? Do you think the change of
strategy from Kamala the same way I ask you, do
you think it's helpful for Donald J. Trump to come
to town tomorrow in Colorado? Eight six six triple eight
(27:59):
fifty nine. If you've got to be in your bonnet,
a burn your saddle, love to hear from you. Also
send me a message on the Facebook Facebook dot com
slash Jimmy Lakey fan page stand by six hundred k cool.
(28:45):
All right here, we are welcome to the program. Sun
has risen on Florida. Right now. They're showing a video
on the news monitor from Bradenton Beach, Florida. Check that out.
Bradenton Beach, Florida is also where the reporter last night,
Robert Ray was standing on there for the Fox News.
(29:06):
I guess Robert raised his name. He was out there
risking life and limb. Power lines were breaking behind him
and handed he had him on, going we'll let you
get back to safety, but we got one more damn
question for you. And I'm like, what you're saying is
I'm Sean Hannity and I'm more important than your safety.
And when I'm done with you, boy, you can go
back to safety. I thought it was a pathetic last
(29:27):
night that all the networks had these reporters out there
just to prove how fast the wind was blowing. Is
there any benefit to that? The photo of Robert Ray
that I screenshot off, I was in my cigar lounge
at my house, and I was actually not smoking a cigar.
I was just sitting there. It's a comfortable room and
indirect lighting, and I was just watching the television and
there and just winding down about to go to bed,
(29:49):
and I watched this coverage I was scanning through. I
record all these shows and that we don't have to
tolerate all of them because some of them just can't
bear them all. And so I recorded this fast forward
through the hurricane coverage and there's this guy out there.
Look at the screenshot, it's him. A Facebook page, Facebook
Dot com slash Jimi Leakey fan page, and somebody told
me the point that this was like the highest he
(30:10):
was standing. He actually squatted lower than that to try
to report and what is he gaining here? At one point,
if you go back and watch a live video behind him,
there were power lines snapping at times, sparks were flying,
and he's out there on the streets. So that Fox
News and I don't know if Hannity was the only guy,
but so that they could talk to this fella. But
(30:30):
they admitted that he will let you get to safety
after this question. What arrogance is that? I know they
didn't mean it to be arrogance, but it basically says, hey,
my show is more important. I need some sensationalism, like
the National Inchoir showing boobies at the checkout stand or
something at the King soupers. I need you, I need
I need you. I need some lookie lose here. I
need to look like you're in danger and that way
(30:51):
to a boosts my ratings. It was really a height
of arrogance, and I called out on my Facebook page,
and that's probably why I don't have gigs at see
and Entner Fox News because I afraid of him, but
a shame on them for using this kind of stuff.
This is this is a journalistic malpractice in my life,
in my sense. And again, Robert Ray's got to do
what he's got to do. He's he's he's like many people.
(31:16):
He has to bow down to his corporate god and
do his thing. But he's risking his life out there.
And maybe it's a good news reel later on, but
I ask you as a listener, as a viewer, is
there anything that you benefit from that? Go look at
that photo and again that's the highest he was standing.
He actually squatted lower than that, just to to change
his height so that he didn't get blown over in
(31:36):
the report. And his mic kept going out. It was
obviously they were having technical difficulties. And then they kept going, Hey,
we'll talk about something else. We'll come back. You keep
standing there, but fix your problems for us. And I
thought it was just I thought it was idiotic. It
was a real bad taste in my mouth for the
coverage of the of the hurricane last night. And it
wasn't just Fox News. I am picking here on Fox,
(31:58):
but CNN was doing as well. All these networks do this.
They get these reporters out there and put them in
dangerous situations, and shame on these big conglomerate, big corporations
that use their people and abuse them like that. It
was wrong. I'm pretty passionate about it. I really, I
just don't like it. I was watching the last night
and not caring about the storm at that point. I
(32:18):
cared about this person, Robert Ray, and said, get him
off the damn streets. But it seems like Hannity in
his safe studio, or the corporate gods and the editorial
boards or whoever at the Fox or the CNN, they
didn't care about this cat. Just get him out there. God,
I could have died. I mean, power lines were falling
around to hey, we'll get you in safety. We got
one more question. Someone go to my Facebook page. Everybody
(32:40):
go their comment on it and Facebook dot com slash
Jimmy Lackey fan page, Facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lakey fanpage,
Facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lackey fan page. I mean,
there's plenty of times to stick your reporters and standing
in puddles of water. Today they're gonna get plenty of that,
and I hope They're all careful, but sticking them out
there when the hurry Caine is blowing an eighty ninety
(33:01):
mile per hour wind and power lines are breaking around
a reporter and he can't even go out there without
goggles and a helmet, and we put him on live television.
What point did it prove to anybody? Did anybody? I
don't know what point it proved to anybody, but I
thought it was kind of disgusting by these networks, and
it always is. I get sick of their The way
(33:22):
they cover politics, the way they cover weather. It's all hyperbolic.
It's all to stem you up and to make you
feel this thread, rather than just give me the facts.
I don't need some dramatization of this guy out there
risking his life just so I'll turnize to your network.
I want the news and I'll figure it out. Shame
on the networks last night for putting these reporters at risk.
(33:43):
But you know, should we be surprised. I guess the
corporate gods kicking the little plebeian reporters of the curb.
This guy's probably making a penance every year, and they
got to be in a helmet out there. Probably went
to wall. Hey, get you out. We got a helmet
for you in Walmart. Stick this on hand it he's
got questions for you. Stand By six hundred KCl
