Speaker 1 (00:03):
Warning you're about to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save America with your host Sean Carnell. Good evening, America,
Welcome to battle Ground Live on a Monday. This is
the show where we kick ass, we take names, we
(00:23):
lock horns with the radical left. We never quit, we
never surrender. From sea to shining Sea and everybody in between.
Welcome patriots. If you are just joining us, make sure
you smash that like button, that little green thumb beneath
the video. Smash it. It helps us get to the
leaderboard and you all as members of the battle Crew
(00:45):
or mcgroin nation. When the battle Crew and mcgroin nation
are united, great things happen. And of course, over top
all of this is the Wendy Bell Radio Army, all
united in purpose. Smashing that like button gets us on
the leaderboard. We've been on the leaderboard several times, many
days in a row. That is because of all of you,
So thank you. Also, uh, make sure you tell your
(01:08):
family and your friends to subscribe to Battleground Live. And
don't forget about the newly designed website, which is a
one stop shop for all things battle Crew and America.
First News, somebody, we'll actually have been getting quite a
few messages from people saying, well, holy smokes. Like, first
(01:30):
of all, this this is updated regularly on the hour
with news and also news, politics, college, culture, entertainment, sports,
all from an America first perspective. It's updated on the
hour at Official Seanparnell dot com, so you can see, uh,
you know, he's got the latest episodes of Battleground Live,
(01:52):
all sorts of stuff on here. But we had people
reaching out to us over the over the weekend saying,
you know, people aren't finding these stories anywhere else, and yeah,
I'm sure some people out there are covering them, but
you know, as always, my goal is to give you
guys a source that you can trust, you know, kind
(02:12):
of break the shackles of you know, the cable news
or traditional conservative media and give you alternative sources of
independent media. And my hope is is, you know, Official
Sean Parnell will be that, and you know it's a
work in progress, but it's a work in progress. We're
(02:33):
going to make it better every day and it is
and always will be free to all of you. So
if you see articles on here, it'd be great share
them on your social media feeds. You know, drive as
much traffic back to the website as much as possible. Again,
it's all about building a coalition to save this country.
And you know, where there's numbers, there's power, and it's
(02:54):
been pretty damn cool to see the battle crew grow
on the daily since we started this show. But so
check home for get to check out the website at
official Champarnel dot com. Also, I've gotta before we jump
into the into the show, and we're gonna get into
the topic of hurricane Helen, Helene, Helen, I'm not really,
(03:15):
We're gonna get into the topic of the hurricane here
soon and a little bit more depth and talk about it,
what's happening in our country and how it ties to politics,
and what I think is going to happen here moving forward.
But you know, let's take a minute, you know, a
minute of silence, for a moment of silence for the
people who lost their lives down there, and say a
(03:37):
prayer for them. Because in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
especially East Tennessee, whole towns seem to have been lost,
and our federal government's response has been just it's been tragic.
It's been a tragic, deadly, dangerous joke. It's been. You know,
(04:00):
to say it's pathetic is an understatement. And we're still
not finding there's still thousands of people missing, and you know,
this is the disaster that's far worse than Katrina. And
I just hope that that we can do all that
we can to say them, you know, FEMA, our federal government.
I don't rely on them for anything, but the American
(04:23):
people in times of great crisis saddle up and get
the job done. And I know that. You know, while
this is a tragedy, there are tens of thousands of
Americans who are doing everything that they can to save
people that they don't know. And those people get don't
get enough coverage. So think about those folks tonight. Think
(04:44):
about the folks who are affected by this hurricane, who
lost everything. Think about the folks who are still missing
and the loved ones are waiting for news about what
happened to them. There's this is a real terrible situation
here in our country, and the media buy and large
is just not covering it. And so we'll talk a
little bit a little bit more about that here in
(05:04):
just a second. But my family just a quick weekend update.
We had a pretty amazing weekend this weekend, and I'm
sorry for the folks in the Wendy Bell Radio Army.
We couldn't be at the picnic. It looks like people
have been writing me all weekend saying that they had
a great time, sending me video. It looks pretty awesome.
And Cousin Allison, yes, I saw your poem. I think
(05:25):
you did an amazing job. There are parts of it
I will admit where I laughed out loud, but I
was blown away how good it was, how professional it was,
your presentation the poem itself. So kudos to you on that.
And someday, I promise we will connect, we will meet.
But this weekend there's just just a you know, there
(05:46):
are some weekends in a family where it just feels
like there's not enough time in the day to get
everything done, and this was one of those weekends. You know,
Natalie had volleyball, Evan had ice how at both practice
end games. It was Katie's senior homecoming. And believe me
when I tell you that that Commander Melanie and I
(06:07):
talked a little bit about that. It's hard to believe
that she is a senior. It's hard to believe that.
You know, this is her last homecoming dance, and you
know she's got prom in the spring, but she's saddling
up to become an adult. And you know, we talk
all the time around here about just how fast kids
(06:28):
grow up. And speaking of that, it was my daughter Emma.
We celebrated her fourteenth birthday, had the family over. It
was amazing. It was just an amazing family weekend and
just one of those weekends where you take a minute
and you just you know, life is very tough. Sometimes
there are many moments in our lives where, especially in
(06:50):
my life, where I have asked God why certain things
are happening to me. And you know, it's not because
as I'm crying in my beer or having a pity party,
but sometimes I do wonder, like, damn, you're kind of
throwing me a curveball that I didn't expect here. But
more often than not, I really try to be grateful
(07:15):
for those times. That's not to say I don't get
upset or disappointed or even angry when life treats treats
us or me unfairly, But after a little bit of time,
I try to get some perspective and just be grateful
for everything that God has bestowed upon me and my family.
(07:37):
And I think it's just critically important to be grateful
for the things that we have here in this country,
things that we have available to us, albeit certainly not perfect.
And if you've got a family, and if you've got grandkids, family,
then you've got drama, you know, like every American family
has drama. But you know, I'm grateful for the good
(07:59):
times and I'm grateful for the bad because that's life, right,
and this is the only one we've got, and we
might as well live it to the fullest, right. And
So as I thought about what's going on in North
Carolina and Georgia and East Tennessee and all these places
that have been affected by the hurricane. You know, obviously
(08:21):
I've watched closely Biden the Biden Administration's response to that,
and I've already alluded to the fact that it's just
been an abject disaster in almost every way. But this
is what I mean, folks, this is what I mean
when I say that this country needs more leaders and
fewer politicians. And what we are experiencing right now are
(08:43):
the consequences of putting Americans last. You know, we have
a country right now. We live in a country right now,
right this second, where we seemingly have an unending pool
of resources xpayer dollars where we can send to Ukraine
(09:03):
for a forever war. There no end in sight. Ukraine
has no hope of victory. But almost every leader except
Donald Trump has pledged unending support. We live in a
country right now that has an unending pool of resources
(09:23):
for illegal aliens. We are funding our own invasion and
our own demise little by little, day by day, we
are flying illegal aliens into this country by the tens
of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Our federal government, FEMA and
(09:46):
other institutions are wholly absorbed dealing with this illegal crisis.
But my point is we are funding this, but entire
towns in North Carolina and Tennessee, in Florida and Georgia
are gone. And we've got an administration that's just totally
(10:11):
detached in every single way. No, I'm not exaggerating. You know,
in times of crisis, when lives are on the line,
where the rubber meets the road, this is where leadership
matters the most. You know, we have it pretty damn
(10:33):
good here in America, don't we Even when times are
pretty bad, even with Biden yet sucked. Groceries are expensive,
gas is expensive, and that sucks, and we might have
to change our lifestyle a little bit here and there
to accommodate. But we still got for the most part,
(10:54):
you know, grocery stores with shelves that are full. We
still have the ability to get gased. Still live in
a country of abundance, and for that I'm grateful, of course.
So even when Democrats are in charge, generally speaking, we
still live in the best country on the face of
the planet. But in times of great crisis, when this
(11:20):
country finds himself in the grips of a natural disaster,
or god forbid, an attack on the homeland, or our
troops are in conflict in a war overseas, that's when
leadership really does matter the most. That's when this country
really needs, desperately needs politicians or leaders and not politicians.
(11:47):
I will never forget one of the most important leadership
lessons that I had in Afghanistan. And yes, I learned
a great many lessons under fire when lives were on
the line. And I've told many of you all before,
especially the original gangsters who watched this show, listen to
this show. Many the positions I have today come from
(12:08):
those moments forged in the fires of combat. I those
moments shaped who I became. But this lesson was a
little bit different, and there's a political lesson in here
as well. We were set to go on what was
a year combat deployment, and that year combat deployment was
far worse than any of us could have imagined. We
(12:28):
were thrown into the meat grinder. That much is not
in question. We were supposed to come home after a year,
and every single member of my platoon come January of
two thousand and six, started going home, little by little,
squad by squad. I found myself the last person outside
(12:52):
of my platoon sergeant on that base, from my platoon.
And that's exactly how it should be. I promised my
troops at the very beginning of the fight, just like
how more, that I'd be the first one on the
battlefield and the last one off. And I meant to
keep that promise, and we get called. We had just
built this combat outpost right on the border, in the
(13:14):
most dangerous spot of all in all of Afghanistan. Combat
outposts Marga. We built the very first one in Afghanistan,
and every year from two thousand and seven on an
American combat outpost was overrun. I'm sure you've seen that
movie titled The Outpost where an outpost was overrun. Well,
my platoon, me, my platoon built the very first one
(13:36):
in Afghanistan, and the enemy tried to attack us once
with three hundred people. We caught him ahead of time.
We killed every one of them. But my point is
is that there were always issues with that base. And
so one night, the day before I was supposed to
come home, and again my soldiers were in various stages
(13:58):
of redeployment. Some were in Boggeram, Afghanistan, awaiting a flight
to go home. Some were home already reunited with their
spouses and their children, the welcome home ceremony already in
the books. We get to the Tactical Operation Center. We
get this call to the Tactical Operation Center at like
three in the morning. I'm thinking, oh man, that's not good.
Probably a troops in contact somewhere. We're gonna have to
run rush out the door to help. But it was
(14:21):
not that. It was like it was like the very
first iteration of what was probably a zoom call back
then in two thousand and six, zoom and FaceTime. None
of that was a thing, and it was just my
battalion commander saying, men, you know, second Battalion, eighty seventh
(14:41):
Infantry Regiment has been extended for four months or until
mission mission complete. And he said, in times of great crisis,
your troops, your soldiers deserve leaders who are involved and
not detached. Leaders who are involved and not detached. In
(15:03):
times of great crisis, your troops or people in general,
deserve leaders who are involved. While all of this has
gone down, with this hurricane and all the devastation wrought
in these states again, thousands of Americans missing, you know,
(15:25):
hundreds dead, whole town's gone. Biden has remained on the
beach in Delaware, and Kamala was doing a fundraiser in
San Francisco. Neither of them have been on the ground
at all during this immense suffering of the American people.
And it is absolutely positively shame shameful this country and
(15:54):
in the people of this country. I don't give a
damn about political party. This country and the people with
the citizens of this country deserve so much better than
what we got right now with Harris Biden. All right,
battle crew, let's take a quick break before we get
(16:15):
back into things, and let me tell you about Saber.
It is an awesome, awesome, awesome company, and we are
so lucky and grateful and blessed to have their support
here on Battleground Live. And these uncertain times, rising crime
in America's neighborhoods endangers the safety of our loved ones.
(16:36):
Nearly fifty years ago, with just two hundred and twenty
eight dollars their entire savings, Saber's founders set out to
make the world safer Today. Saber is the number one
made in the USA pepper spray brand, trusted by law
enforcement professionals and families across America. The family owned business,
(17:01):
they understand the importance of protecting your loved ones, introducing
the Saber pepper projectile launcher, a less lethal, fast loading,
no recoil solution delivering powerful stopping power up to one
hundred and seventy five feet. The real advantage is even
(17:23):
if you miss, it creates a six foot pepper cloud,
causing intense sensory irritation which can overwhelm anyone in its path.
Giving you and your family the opportunity to protect yourselves
and your home. But Saber doesn't stop there. In addition
to their pepper spray in pepper gel, Saber offers stun
(17:46):
guns for personal protection and bear and mountain lion spray
for outdoor adventurers. They also provide essential home security items
like door security bars and door and window alarms for
securing your entry ways. Protect yourself and your family with
Sabers full range of defense sprays, home security tools, and
(18:08):
exclusive launcher bundles. Visit Saber Radio dot com, s A
B R E Radio dot com or call eight four
four eight two four safe today. That's eight four four
eight two four safe now, folks, listen. There is absolutely
(18:31):
no excuses, no excuses. I mean, why the hell isn't
the federal government in western North Carolina right now? These
are American citizens, They pay taxes. I mean, you have
these men and women volunteering to serve our country. The
(18:57):
lack of response to this tragedy is just it's just
beyond the pale. We should be seeing hundreds, at least
hundreds of National Guard soldiers, you know, putting up temporary bridges,
(19:18):
building levees, you know, helping to clear the roadways, food, water, shelter, whatever.
I've never seen. I haven't seen anybody really there. Allegedly
the governor of North Carolina deployed a few hundred National
Guard troops, but I've not seen any news footage of them,
(19:40):
have you. I Mean, what's truly unbelievable to me is
that the Corps of Engineers doesn't seem to be on
the job yet. I just it's hard to wrap my
mind around the pathetic response here. And I paid very
(20:04):
close attention to this, just like I'm sure you all have.
And I wonder why, because if this were a Republican
in office, this is, by the way, this disastro is
worse than Katrina by all accounts. If this were a
Republican in office, this would be on every news station
(20:25):
twenty four to seven. And what's really crazy is that
storms in general generate the highest ratings on news channels.
They don't need an excuse to cover these storms because
americans watch, so there are ratings bonanza. So my point
is there's a there's a business reason why they would
(20:46):
want to cover it, but in this instance, nobody's really
doing that. I mean, look at look at some North Carolina.
This is an entire town. Look at that, an entire
(21:09):
town completely gone. And I'm pulling much of this video
from the Internet, which is why you have the music
here in the background. But it's independent local journalists who
are on the ground covering this stuff. It's arked mind
footage of it on national television. It's absolutely unbelievable. Or
(21:31):
look at this before and after image. And if you're
if you're just listening to the podcast on iHeart, come
on over here to Rumble, subscribe, follow, subscribe to Battleground
Live and watch. It's a better experience, I think if
you watch, but look at this before and after image
of I think it's a cemetery at a town called
(21:53):
Cemetery Hill in North Carolina. Before and after image on
Google Satellite. Look at this before cemetery rock Village after
watch again. I mean, these towns have been completely decimated,
(22:22):
and Biden and Harris are completely m I A. You know,
he was asked. Biden was asked. I guess he was
on the tarmac somewhere. Someone asked him, like, can can
our people expect any more aid down there? What's the
federal government doing? Are you gonna help? Is FEMA gonna
(22:46):
show up. Where the hell is the cavalry? This is Biden.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yes, it's tragic as a matter of fact for trying
to get to exact numbers Seaman advisors on the ground
in Florida right now. There's a distinction between the numbers
that Fame is used and the ones that used by
by the locals. So it's, uh, it really is amazing.
When you saw the photographs, it's stunny.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
It's un so many, so such a wide area.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I mean, get giving them all of the everything that
we have for on the grounds ahead of time, so
we're working hard.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Are there any more resources the federal government giving them?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
No, We've given them. We have pre planned a significant
amount of it, even though they didn't ask for yet, hadn't.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Asked for yet.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So that is Biden saying that the federal government has
nothing to offer them, nothing more to offer them, and
I've seen no response. It just it's it's almost just
like Hawaii. It's it's staggering to me. And if you're
if you're wondering, like boy, it's it's hard to describe
(23:59):
the have a station when you spend you know, significant
amount of time diving into these videos and watching the
heartbreak of the American people and again putting politics aside.
See the heartbreak of the American people talking about losing everything,
their homes, their farms, all their livestock, their cattle, sometimes
(24:23):
their loved ones. And our government is just completely missing
in action. And here's Biden today, asked about by a journalist.
I'm not sure where basically, where the hell have you been?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
And the hurricane is for President orn and Vice President
Harris Sharon Washington commanding this this begin I was committed.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I was on the fiel for at least two hours
yesterday in the day before as well. I commend it's
called a telephone.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It's all my security tonight for the country to see.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh god, god, hey listen everybody. He was on the
phone for a couple of hours yesterday, So he's commanding
for a couple of ours. I mean, you can go
online in five seconds and find what he was doing
during the day. Over the weekend, he was sitting on
the beach on Do you want to know why I
(25:28):
think you're not seeing our national guard there at least
in the numbers that we would expect them to be
in response to a disaster of this magnitude. It's because,
at least in Tennessee, the Tennessee National Guard is deploying
to the Middle East right now. And what's happening is
(25:52):
they're leaving family members behind who have been ravaged by
this storm. So these National guardsmen who are intended to protect,
you know, their home states towns America here are being deployed. So,
first of all, how do you think that's going to
(26:13):
affect the mind of our young servicemen and women who
find themselves in harms way that they're leaving at the
exact moment that their talent has been ravaged for a
conflict that doesn't concern them whatsoever. You know, I'm sorry,
but it just feels like to me that the pain
(26:35):
that this administration is inflicting on the American people is deliberate.
You know, I'm going to come over to the live chat.
I want am I crazy to think that this does
the pain that the Harris Biden administration inflict, certainly on
what are most assuredly Republican controlled areas, does it seem
(26:55):
deliberate to you? Yes or no? Let me know in
the live chat. I want to see I want to
see what you say and if you think I'm being
crazy or paranoid, let me know. I mean, look at
one hundred percent, deliver it all by design. Yes, yes, yes,
so I I mean I listen. So I'm not the
(27:23):
only one that thinks this. And we have Biden, Harris
Mayorcus all of FEMA with their heads completely up their asses,
not doing anything. And Trump, a man who was cheated
(27:44):
out of the presidency in twenty twenty, should be president
now nearing the end of his second term. Trump, but
a man who is not president is down there, boots
on the ground leading. When you look at campaigns, you know,
(28:05):
Bongino says correctly that campaigns are about snapshots and sound bites,
and I'm not you know, he's exactly right. But when
the American people and there are still some undecideds out there,
and I saw spar in the chat talking about we
need moderate Democrats and independents to get off the fence
and into the fight. Well, there are millions of people
(28:26):
out there trying to make up their mind. Now, how
you could be undecided at this point and then the
game is beyond me. But there are people out there
trying to make up their mind about who is going
to lead this country out of this shit show that
is the past three years almost four years of the
Harris Biden administration, and the juxtaposition between Harris and Trump
(28:47):
could not be more clear. Harris is in San Francisco
raising money with a bunch of mega wealthy donors in
an ultraliberal city that, by the way, has an app
that you can get on your phone to track human feces,
because that's exactly how you measure liberal policies and their
effect on a given area. But you have her out
(29:08):
there raising a bunch of money at swanky fundraisers, and
you have Trump boots on the ground. Leading governor is
doing a very good job.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
He's having a hard time getting the president's on the phone.
I guess they're not they're not being responsive. The federal
government is not being responsive. But they're having a very
hard time getting the getting the president on the phone.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
He won't get on in a push.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
The Vice president he's out someplace campaigning.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Looking for money. So they got to be they have
to be bookused over who will make this is a
really mad letter, and that the governor's doing a good job,
but he's having a hard.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Time getting the president on the phone, they're being very
non responsive.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He's exactly right, He's exactly right. Everybody that I've talked to,
every Republican that is in leadership positions in these states,
folks that I have talked to, said that they cannot
get this administration on the phone at all. So Biden's
saying that Governor Kemp said all that he had, all
(30:11):
that he needed. First of all, I don't buy that.
I don't buy that at all. You know what I've
come to realize over since sol since twenty sixteen, over
the past eight years, I'd say, is that Trump, when
he says something, he's often right, you know, much to
(30:35):
the chagrin of his detractors. And even there's a hell
of a lot of Republicans who, even in the moment
are like, oh, come on, the FBI did not tap
Trump Tower. Five years later, yep, the FBI tapped Trump Tower.
Trump knows what he's talking about, and he's unafraid to
say it, and he's right more often than he's not.
(30:58):
And I believe him here. But in times of great crisis,
leadership is about serving the American people. And listen, this
country is It's not just this natural disaster as horrifying
as it is. I'm gonna get into this in a second,
but there's a whole cascade of things happening at the
same time that you should be very concerned about. But
(31:19):
in times of great crisis, leaders rise to the moment
and they put politics aside. And I'm sorry that that
is exactly what Trump is doing in this moment, and
this is exactly what this country needs.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
As you know, our country is in the final weeks
of a hard fought national election. But in a time
like this, when a crisis hits, when our fellow citizens
cry out in need, none of that matters. We're not
talking about politics now. We have to all get together
and get this solved. We need a lot of help.
They have to have a lot of help down here.
We look out for one another. We pull it together,
(31:56):
we pitch in, we persevere, and we pull it through.
That is really the American spirit. That's what made America
originally great, and that's why today have come to Wealdessa
with large semi trucks, many of them filled with relief
aid and a tanker truck filled up with gasoline. We
(32:19):
have a couple of the big tanker trucks filled up
with gasoline, which they can't get now, and we'll be
working too distributed throughout the day. And I want to
thank again Franklin Graham and everyone at Samaritan's Pursue. People
are fantastic by the way, I just and people appreciate
you very much.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Trump is leading. Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean you
have all the answers. Being a leader doesn't mean you
even make all the right decisions. But being a leader
is about showing up, and nobody shows up better than
Donald Trump, especially in moments like this. Now, if you're wondering,
(33:04):
you know, why does FEMA's response seem like total garbage?
If you're thinking to yourself, hmm, it kind of seems
like this should be a much bigger story than it is. Well,
you would be right. You'd be right about that. And
I'm going to tell you exactly why FEMA is an
abject disaster, folks. This is why you should be concerned
(33:29):
with FEMA. If you're wondering why the FEMA response is
abject disaster or worse than usual, there are three reasons.
And not a whole lot of people have broken this
down yet, but I want you to know this. There
are three reasons. Right now, FEMA is obsessively focused with
(33:50):
what diversity, equity and inclusion. It's holy. That's the first thing.
The second thing is is almost entirely consumed with resettling
illegal aliens. So you, I just want to kind of
(34:12):
set this, lay this out there for you. Our taxpayer
dollars are funding this invasion, and our taxpayer dollars are
working to resettle these illegal aliens and towns across America,
and FEMA is helping. The third thing is is that
(34:33):
the National Guard from a great from quite a few
of these states is being activated and sent to the
Middle East. So if you look at Amuse, a Muse
is a great independent journalist on X. If you're not
following him, you definitely should. But he says this FEMA.
Under Administrator Deanna Chriswell's leadership, FEMA has shifted its priorities,
(34:57):
placing a heightened focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The
agency's twenty twenty two to twenty twenty six Strategic Plan
cites President Biden's Executive Order thirteen nine eighty five on
Advancing Racial Equity as a guiding framework. Using this directive,
(35:17):
chris Well has emphasized equity of outcome in both femas
hiring practices and in disaster response protocols. Critics argue that
this is translated into preferential treatment for certain racial and
ethnic groups when it comes to employment and the distribution
(35:39):
of aid. So, all of those people who are in
the chat saying that this feels a little bit deliberate,
were your feelings as usual? Battle Crew as usual, mcgroin's
as usual, Wendy Bell Radio Army, Your feelings are not wrong.
(36:00):
This is part of the plan. This is part of
Executive Order thirteen nine eighty five on advancing Racial Equity
as a guiding Framework. Again, critics argue that this has
translated into preferential treatment for certain racial and ethnic groups
when it comes to employment and distribution of aid. And
if you think that that does not extend to political party,
(36:22):
you would be wrong. Now, this video that I flagged
also happens to be very funny. And yes, this is
a very serious show talking about very serious things, but
trying to weave in some more humor. This video made
me laugh during it. This video made me laugh over
the weekend. But it's also it also shows you exactly
why there's been a lackluster response in my opinion, Yeah,
(36:49):
I talked to some.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Officials on scene. They say that this community if underwater,
and they have been using their votes to go and
rescue people out of their holes. We're to do a
little live interview here. I have deal here, just rescued
with his family by emergency services.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Dale.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Can you tell us what happened at your house?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Agree with his opinion, But what happened was, you know,
just throughout the day he started getting more and more water.
This man was just rescued by local officials. He's got
a guy, said Trump twenty twenty four in the background,
and before he even conducts his interview, he takes the
(37:35):
time to say, well, I agree with their perspective. As
funny as that video is, that's exactly why these people
aren't getting the aid that they deserve, the aid that
they need. It's codified in an executive order that's being
pushed by Biden and FEMA. Is is knee deep in
(37:57):
this DEI insanity. And if one thing has shown us anything,
like people were saying, Mike, that's the best trual I've
seen yet. Jerud Trump twenty twenty four. Rob is saying awesome,
stay in salty Lol. Yas my kids say yes, y ass?
(38:18):
What is that supposed to mean yes? Or yas? What's yas?
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Like? Yaes?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Is that like a kid thing? Is this supposed to
mean excitement? I guess maybe I'm aging myself here a
little bit, But all I'm saying is is that these
people deserve help and they're not getting it because of
their political affiliation. I'm absolutely convinced of it. And you
know what, I feel the exact same way about East Palestine, Ohio.
That's exactly why those people didn't get the help that
(38:45):
they deserve. These are Americans that have been left behind
courtesy of the Biden administration because of who they're pulling
the lever for. Also, Amused says this FEMA's inability to
effectively respond to the devis station left in the wake
of Hurricane Helen is glaringly tied to the sheer burden
(39:06):
they face from handling the migrant influx. Millions of migrants
have entered the country, both flown in and crossing the
border illegally, all under the purview of the so called
borders are This flood of migrants has diverted critical resources
to left leaning NGOs non governmental organizations where bureaucratic layers
(39:27):
and administrative costs siphon off funds, leaving only a fraction
for those who truly need it. This migrant crisis, largely
driven by the administration zone policies, has turned into a
self inflicted emergency. Kamala, who spearheaded the administration's border policies,
has drained FEMA's resources to the point where their capacity
(39:47):
to respond to actual disasters like Hurricane Helen Helene, right,
not Helen Helene is compromised as FEMA's funding flows toward
migrant resettlement. Okay, Commander Melanie is correcting me like she
usually does. Leen Helena, No, Lina, Lina Helene. Sorry, listen,
(40:08):
I'm an infant, your guy. Okay, Yeah, I'm a knuckle dragger.
I work hard on pronunciation thing, but sometimes it's not
my strong suit. But the point is is that Thema
Kamala has caused all this. So here's what's happening. She
is fine with being detached. She is fine with being
in San Francisco raising a crap ton of money with
(40:31):
San Francisco liberals rather than being boots on the ground
trying to help these people. Why do you think that
is she doesn't want to get blamed for it. Why
isn't she showing up down there? Because she doesn't want
to be tethered to what she sees as a sinking
ship that is Joe Biden. I mean, why hasn't she
invoked the twenty fifth Amendment? I mean, Biden's clearly not there.
(40:52):
He was asked about an attack on Iran, on Israel.
When Biden started muttering about a elective bargaining agreement in
the Union, He's gone cognitively not there. By law, Kamala
should have votd the twenty fifth. She doesn't. She would
rather a dementia patient be commander in chief for the
(41:13):
next several months because she doesn't want to be tied
to the Biden administration, even though she should be tied
to the Biden administration, but she doesn't want that. She
doesn't want the help because she doesn't want to assume
responsibility for all of his disasters. And so now this
is what this is the most This is the most
(41:34):
important part. And I feel like I might be like
one of the first people to talk about this. Have
any of you all had issues with Verizon today? I
want to hear in the live chat. My phone has
been on SOS all day. I have not been able
to make phone calls. Have any of you all had
(41:56):
issues with Verizon wireless? Today it has Verizon Wireless one
hundred and fourteen million customers in the United States. I've
had issues with Verizon Wireless. There have been widespread outages
with Verizon Wireless all over all over the country. So
if you go to Verizon, they acknowledge the fact that
(42:16):
there isn't that there was an outage today. So I
want you to think about something. You could see the
map of where they're experiencing outages. Imagine being a first responder,
or imagine being trapped on a roof in North Carolina
or East Tennessee, or in Georgia or in Florida and
are desperately trying to call out but you can't because
you don't have self service. So this happens at the
(42:39):
exact this Verizon wireless outage, And I could be completely wrong.
I could be completely wrong. So the worst Hurricane Helene,
Did I get that right, Commander Melanie, the worst hurricane
since Katrina. Verizon Wireless goes down shortly after that. Guess
what happens tomorrow. The port workers go on strike. We
(43:03):
told you about that right here on the show two
weeks ago with Brian Dean Wright. It's gonna adversely affect
our supply chain, but all of America's ports will be
shut down. Listen, and you are a teacher, Put you out,
grab your stuff, go home, Let's get out of here.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
We are officially on stike. Puts out, Let's go. We
are officially on stike.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
What about your feeling? They're all going on strike tomorrow.
And another crazy thing is as all of this is
going down, the United States Army Special Operations Command puts
(44:03):
out an irregular warfare video just for you know, you know,
I just want you to see it, and then we'll
discuss drones, black album, Biber attacked, Black Lives Matter style,
(44:57):
leftist riding box market, electricity going down, references the law air.
(45:23):
You get the point. All of this is happening at
the exact same time. I'm sorry, but I don't know
what you want me to say. Listen. Just seems to
me like Verizon hasn't really issued a statement. They've just said, yeah,
things have gone down. But again, one wonders the timing
(45:45):
of this and the wake of this horrible natural disaster,
timed with our ports potentially going down being closed. Put
my military commander's hat on. If I'm a military commander
and I'm legitimately serving this nation in uniform, I'm watching
(46:08):
what's happening, and I'm saying, you know, we should probably
be on guard. I'm not trying to scare you. God,
I hope I'm completely wrong, but all of these things
happening at once. In the US Special Operations Command releasing
a video on irregular warfare, get I'm sorry. I don't
(46:29):
believe in coincidences, folks, I just don't believe it. And also,
thirty six days until election day, the United States Postal
Service has suspended service to the zip codes that have
been affected by the storm. There are forty two zip
codes in Georgia. There are thirty nine zip codes in
North Carolina. There are nineteen zip codes in Tennessee. What
(46:53):
do all of these states have in common? They're all
red states. Now again, I'm saying that they're controlling the weather.
I'm not saying that. But what I am saying is
that our enemies watch for things like this. They watch
for America's attention to be diverted to a natural disaster,
(47:14):
and they capitalize on things like that to strike at
those moments. Now Verizon being the largest carrier in the
country with one hundred and fourteen million customers, big port
strike going on tomorrow. None of this stuff is private information.
It's all out there publicly, just saying folks, just saying, Okay,
(47:35):
I have got to ask have you seen the left
talking about masculinity? And I mean, have you have you
seen it? Because it's kind of amazing what the left
is trying to do here.
Speaker 6 (47:50):
Important part of an interesting part of how people have
talked about your role here is how your role has
reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've
planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
think that's part of the role you might play as
first gentleman. It's funny, I've started to think a lot
(48:11):
about this.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I've always been like this.
Speaker 6 (48:13):
My dad was like this, and to me, it's so.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
That was Doug m Hoff. That was circle back sake
saying to Doug em Hoff that he has redefined masculinity. Right,
I'm not exaggerating. The left is trying to redefine masculinity,
and the Internet has been a wash with videos like
(48:37):
this of men trying to redefine what is masculine for
the rest of US Americans. What's this that's masculinity? Do
(49:30):
if I did that, I'm pretty sure Commander Melanie would
divorce me and all of my children would disown me.
There is but this, this, this is like all it's
a trend. The left is redefining masculinity. And then of
course Tim Walls with his leg kick. I swear to God,
(50:00):
this is a leftist thing. And do you know why
they're doing it? Do you know why they're doing this?
They're doing it because Kamala Harris. I mean everything with
the left is breaking people down into the little groups.
As absurd as these videos have seemed, and I'm telling
you they're insane. I know, I'm sorry for showing them
(50:24):
to you, But as absurd as all this is seen,
the left is actually trying to make a play for
white men because Kamala not just white men, but men
in general. Kamala is hemorrhaging men like men are abandoning
her campaign, her movement in droves. I'm telling you, and
(50:47):
I've told you this from day one, but when you
got guys like Walls out there at a college football
game reacting to a college mascot like this, dudes are like,
I don't want any of that. There is no way
(51:13):
a weird ass dude like that could get to where
he was in life if he were not connected to
the CCP in some way, which, by the way, did
just see the news that James Comer came out with.
He wrote a letter House Oversight Committee said that he found,
along with House Oversight a very disturbing connection between Tim
(51:35):
Walls and the CCP. Who's been saying that one for
the last month, me, Brian Dean Wright has told you
the same thing. This dude said he was oh, by
the way, said he was in China for like, made
thirty trips to China. Turns out that was a lie.
It was only fifteen. But I haven't even been to
my favorite vacation spot fifteen between fifteen and thirty times.
(51:57):
No one, this dude's going to China between fifteen and
thirty times. It's insane he's And now the House Oversight
Committee James Comer saying that he has disturbing connections to
the CCP. On the eve of Tim Walls's debate with
jd Vance, you can bet that jd Vance is going
(52:20):
to hammer the hell out of him on that. So listen.
I know I've got some stuff left on the cutting
room floor today. In fact, I'm gonna cover it tomorrow
for you all. But before we pop smoke tonight, make
sure that you smash that like button, that little green
thumb beneath the video. Smash that like button. I always
(52:42):
like to try to end with four hundred likes. Some

you know, he's got the latest episodes of Battleground Live,
(01:52):
all sorts of stuff on here. But we had people
reaching out to us over the over the weekend saying,
you know, people aren't finding these stories anywhere else, and yeah,
I'm sure some people out there are covering them, but
you know, as always, my goal is to give you
guys a source that you can trust, you know, kind
(02:12):
of break the shackles of you know, the cable news
or traditional conservative media and give you alternative sources of
independent media. And my hope is is, you know, Official
Sean Parnell will be that, and you know it's a
work in progress, but it's a work in progress. We're
(02:33):
going to make it better every day and it is
and always will be free to all of you. So
if you see articles on here, it'd be great share
them on your social media feeds. You know, drive as
much traffic back to the website as much as possible. Again,
it's all about building a coalition to save this country.
And you know, where there's numbers, there's power, and it's
(02:54):
been pretty damn cool to see the battle crew grow
on the daily since we started this show. But so
check home for get to check out the website at
official Champarnel dot com. Also, I've gotta before we jump
into the into the show, and we're gonna get into
the topic of hurricane Helen, Helene, Helen, I'm not really,
(03:15):
We're gonna get into the topic of the hurricane here
soon and a little bit more depth and talk about it,
what's happening in our country and how it ties to politics,
and what I think is going to happen here moving forward.
But you know, let's take a minute, you know, a
minute of silence, for a moment of silence for the
people who lost their lives down there, and say a
(03:37):
prayer for them. Because in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
especially East Tennessee, whole towns seem to have been lost,
and our federal government's response has been just it's been tragic.
It's been a tragic, deadly, dangerous joke. It's been. You know,
(04:00):
to say it's pathetic is an understatement. And we're still
not finding there's still thousands of people missing, and you know,
this is the disaster that's far worse than Katrina. And
I just hope that that we can do all that
we can to say them, you know, FEMA, our federal government.
I don't rely on them for anything, but the American
(04:23):
people in times of great crisis saddle up and get
the job done. And I know that. You know, while
this is a tragedy, there are tens of thousands of
Americans who are doing everything that they can to save
people that they don't know. And those people get don't
get enough coverage. So think about those folks tonight. Think
(04:44):
about the folks who are affected by this hurricane, who
lost everything. Think about the folks who are still missing
and the loved ones are waiting for news about what
happened to them. There's this is a real terrible situation
here in our country, and the media buy and large
is just not covering it. And so we'll talk a
little bit a little bit more about that here in
(05:04):
just a second. But my family just a quick weekend update.
We had a pretty amazing weekend this weekend, and I'm
sorry for the folks in the Wendy Bell Radio Army.
We couldn't be at the picnic. It looks like people
have been writing me all weekend saying that they had
a great time, sending me video. It looks pretty awesome.
And Cousin Allison, yes, I saw your poem. I think
(05:25):
you did an amazing job. There are parts of it
I will admit where I laughed out loud, but I
was blown away how good it was, how professional it was,
your presentation the poem itself. So kudos to you on that.
And someday, I promise we will connect, we will meet.
But this weekend there's just just a you know, there
(05:46):
are some weekends in a family where it just feels
like there's not enough time in the day to get
everything done, and this was one of those weekends. You know,
Natalie had volleyball, Evan had ice how at both practice
end games. It was Katie's senior homecoming. And believe me
when I tell you that that Commander Melanie and I
(06:07):
talked a little bit about that. It's hard to believe
that she is a senior. It's hard to believe that.
You know, this is her last homecoming dance, and you
know she's got prom in the spring, but she's saddling
up to become an adult. And you know, we talk
all the time around here about just how fast kids
(06:28):
grow up. And speaking of that, it was my daughter Emma.
We celebrated her fourteenth birthday, had the family over. It
was amazing. It was just an amazing family weekend and
just one of those weekends where you take a minute
and you just you know, life is very tough. Sometimes
there are many moments in our lives where, especially in
(06:50):
my life, where I have asked God why certain things
are happening to me. And you know, it's not because
as I'm crying in my beer or having a pity party,
but sometimes I do wonder, like, damn, you're kind of
throwing me a curveball that I didn't expect here. But
more often than not, I really try to be grateful
(07:15):
for those times. That's not to say I don't get
upset or disappointed or even angry when life treats treats
us or me unfairly, But after a little bit of time,
I try to get some perspective and just be grateful
for everything that God has bestowed upon me and my family.
(07:37):
And I think it's just critically important to be grateful
for the things that we have here in this country,
things that we have available to us, albeit certainly not perfect.
And if you've got a family, and if you've got grandkids, family,
then you've got drama, you know, like every American family
has drama. But you know, I'm grateful for the good
(07:59):
times and I'm grateful for the bad because that's life, right,
and this is the only one we've got, and we
might as well live it to the fullest, right. And
So as I thought about what's going on in North
Carolina and Georgia and East Tennessee and all these places
that have been affected by the hurricane. You know, obviously
(08:21):
I've watched closely Biden the Biden Administration's response to that,
and I've already alluded to the fact that it's just
been an abject disaster in almost every way. But this
is what I mean, folks, this is what I mean
when I say that this country needs more leaders and
fewer politicians. And what we are experiencing right now are
(08:43):
the consequences of putting Americans last. You know, we have
a country right now. We live in a country right now,
right this second, where we seemingly have an unending pool
of resources xpayer dollars where we can send to Ukraine
(09:03):
for a forever war. There no end in sight. Ukraine
has no hope of victory. But almost every leader except
Donald Trump has pledged unending support. We live in a
country right now that has an unending pool of resources
(09:23):
for illegal aliens. We are funding our own invasion and
our own demise little by little, day by day, we
are flying illegal aliens into this country by the tens
of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Our federal government, FEMA and
(09:46):
other institutions are wholly absorbed dealing with this illegal crisis.
But my point is we are funding this, but entire
towns in North Carolina and Tennessee, in Florida and Georgia
are gone. And we've got an administration that's just totally
(10:11):
detached in every single way. No, I'm not exaggerating. You know,
in times of crisis, when lives are on the line,
where the rubber meets the road, this is where leadership
matters the most. You know, we have it pretty damn
(10:33):
good here in America, don't we Even when times are
pretty bad, even with Biden yet sucked. Groceries are expensive,
gas is expensive, and that sucks, and we might have
to change our lifestyle a little bit here and there
to accommodate. But we still got for the most part,
(10:54):
you know, grocery stores with shelves that are full. We
still have the ability to get gased. Still live in
a country of abundance, and for that I'm grateful, of course.
So even when Democrats are in charge, generally speaking, we
still live in the best country on the face of
the planet. But in times of great crisis, when this
(11:20):
country finds himself in the grips of a natural disaster,
or god forbid, an attack on the homeland, or our
troops are in conflict in a war overseas, that's when
leadership really does matter the most. That's when this country
really needs, desperately needs politicians or leaders and not politicians.
(11:47):
I will never forget one of the most important leadership
lessons that I had in Afghanistan. And yes, I learned
a great many lessons under fire when lives were on
the line. And I've told many of you all before,
especially the original gangsters who watched this show, listen to
this show. Many the positions I have today come from
(12:08):
those moments forged in the fires of combat. I those
moments shaped who I became. But this lesson was a
little bit different, and there's a political lesson in here
as well. We were set to go on what was
a year combat deployment, and that year combat deployment was
far worse than any of us could have imagined. We
(12:28):
were thrown into the meat grinder. That much is not
in question. We were supposed to come home after a year,
and every single member of my platoon come January of
two thousand and six, started going home, little by little,
squad by squad. I found myself the last person outside
(12:52):
of my platoon sergeant on that base, from my platoon.
And that's exactly how it should be. I promised my
troops at the very beginning of the fight, just like
how more, that I'd be the first one on the
battlefield and the last one off. And I meant to
keep that promise, and we get called. We had just
built this combat outpost right on the border, in the
(13:14):
most dangerous spot of all in all of Afghanistan. Combat
outposts Marga. We built the very first one in Afghanistan,
and every year from two thousand and seven on an
American combat outpost was overrun. I'm sure you've seen that
movie titled The Outpost where an outpost was overrun. Well,
my platoon, me, my platoon built the very first one
(13:36):
in Afghanistan, and the enemy tried to attack us once
with three hundred people. We caught him ahead of time.
We killed every one of them. But my point is
is that there were always issues with that base. And
so one night, the day before I was supposed to
come home, and again my soldiers were in various stages
(13:58):
of redeployment. Some were in Boggeram, Afghanistan, awaiting a flight
to go home. Some were home already reunited with their
spouses and their children, the welcome home ceremony already in
the books. We get to the Tactical Operation Center. We
get this call to the Tactical Operation Center at like
three in the morning. I'm thinking, oh man, that's not good.
Probably a troops in contact somewhere. We're gonna have to
run rush out the door to help. But it was
(14:21):
not that. It was like it was like the very
first iteration of what was probably a zoom call back
then in two thousand and six, zoom and FaceTime. None
of that was a thing, and it was just my
battalion commander saying, men, you know, second Battalion, eighty seventh
(14:41):
Infantry Regiment has been extended for four months or until
mission mission complete. And he said, in times of great crisis,
your troops, your soldiers deserve leaders who are involved and
not detached. Leaders who are involved and not detached. In
(15:03):
times of great crisis, your troops or people in general,
deserve leaders who are involved. While all of this has
gone down, with this hurricane and all the devastation wrought
in these states again, thousands of Americans missing, you know,
(15:25):
hundreds dead, whole town's gone. Biden has remained on the
beach in Delaware, and Kamala was doing a fundraiser in
San Francisco. Neither of them have been on the ground
at all during this immense suffering of the American people.
And it is absolutely positively shame shameful this country and
(15:54):
in the people of this country. I don't give a
damn about political party. This country and the people with
the citizens of this country deserve so much better than
what we got right now with Harris Biden. All right,
battle crew, let's take a quick break before we get
(16:15):
back into things, and let me tell you about Saber.
It is an awesome, awesome, awesome company, and we are
so lucky and grateful and blessed to have their support
here on Battleground Live. And these uncertain times, rising crime
in America's neighborhoods endangers the safety of our loved ones.
(16:36):
Nearly fifty years ago, with just two hundred and twenty
eight dollars their entire savings, Saber's founders set out to
make the world safer Today. Saber is the number one
made in the USA pepper spray brand, trusted by law
enforcement professionals and families across America. The family owned business,
(17:01):
they understand the importance of protecting your loved ones, introducing
the Saber pepper projectile launcher, a less lethal, fast loading,
no recoil solution delivering powerful stopping power up to one
hundred and seventy five feet. The real advantage is even
(17:23):
if you miss, it creates a six foot pepper cloud,
causing intense sensory irritation which can overwhelm anyone in its path.
Giving you and your family the opportunity to protect yourselves
and your home. But Saber doesn't stop there. In addition
to their pepper spray in pepper gel, Saber offers stun

B R E Radio dot com or call eight four
four eight two four safe today. That's eight four four
eight two four safe now, folks, listen. There is absolutely
(18:31):
no excuses, no excuses. I mean, why the hell isn't
the federal government in western North Carolina right now? These
are American citizens, They pay taxes. I mean, you have
these men and women volunteering to serve our country. The
(18:57):
lack of response to this tragedy is just it's just
beyond the pale. We should be seeing hundreds, at least
hundreds of National Guard soldiers, you know, putting up temporary bridges,
(19:18):
building levees, you know, helping to clear the roadways, food, water, shelter, whatever.
I've never seen. I haven't seen anybody really there. Allegedly
the governor of North Carolina deployed a few hundred National
Guard troops, but I've not seen any news footage of them,
(19:40):
have you. I Mean, what's truly unbelievable to me is
that the Corps of Engineers doesn't seem to be on
the job yet. I just it's hard to wrap my
mind around the pathetic response here. And I paid very
(20:04):
close attention to this, just like I'm sure you all have.
And I wonder why, because if this were a Republican
in office, this is, by the way, this disastro is
worse than Katrina by all accounts. If this were a
Republican in office, this would be on every news station
(20:25):
twenty four to seven. And what's really crazy is that
storms in general generate the highest ratings on news channels.
They don't need an excuse to cover these storms because
americans watch, so there are ratings bonanza. So my point
is there's a there's a business reason why they would
(20:46):
want to cover it, but in this instance, nobody's really
doing that. I mean, look at look at some North Carolina.
This is an entire town. Look at that, an entire
(21:09):
town completely gone. And I'm pulling much of this video
from the Internet, which is why you have the music
here in the background. But it's independent local journalists who
are on the ground covering this stuff. It's arked mind
footage of it on national television. It's absolutely unbelievable. Or
(21:31):
look at this before and after image. And if you're
if you're just listening to the podcast on iHeart, come
on over here to Rumble, subscribe, follow, subscribe to Battleground
Live and watch. It's a better experience, I think if
you watch, but look at this before and after image
of I think it's a cemetery at a town called
(21:53):
Cemetery Hill in North Carolina. Before and after image on
Google Satellite. Look at this before cemetery rock Village after
watch again. I mean, these towns have been completely decimated,
(22:22):
and Biden and Harris are completely m I A. You know,
he was asked. Biden was asked. I guess he was
on the tarmac somewhere. Someone asked him, like, can can
our people expect any more aid down there? What's the
federal government doing? Are you gonna help? Is FEMA gonna
(22:46):
show up. Where the hell is the cavalry? This is Biden.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yes, it's tragic as a matter of fact for trying
to get to exact numbers Seaman advisors on the ground
in Florida right now. There's a distinction between the numbers
that Fame is used and the ones that used by
by the locals. So it's, uh, it really is amazing.
When you saw the photographs, it's stunny.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
It's un so many, so such a wide area.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I mean, get giving them all of the everything that
we have for on the grounds ahead of time, so
we're working hard.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Are there any more resources the federal government giving them?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
No, We've given them. We have pre planned a significant
amount of it, even though they didn't ask for yet, hadn't.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Asked for yet.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So that is Biden saying that the federal government has
nothing to offer them, nothing more to offer them, and
I've seen no response. It just it's it's almost just
like Hawaii. It's it's staggering to me. And if you're
if you're wondering, like boy, it's it's hard to describe
(23:59):
the have a station when you spend you know, significant
amount of time diving into these videos and watching the
heartbreak of the American people and again putting politics aside.
See the heartbreak of the American people talking about losing everything,
their homes, their farms, all their livestock, their cattle, sometimes
(24:23):
their loved ones. And our government is just completely missing
in action. And here's Biden today, asked about by a journalist.
I'm not sure where basically, where the hell have you been?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
And the hurricane is for President orn and Vice President
Harris Sharon Washington commanding this this begin I was committed.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I was on the fiel for at least two hours
yesterday in the day before as well. I commend it's
called a telephone.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It's all my security tonight for the country to see.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh god, god, hey listen everybody. He was on the
phone for a couple of hours yesterday, So he's commanding
for a couple of ours. I mean, you can go
online in five seconds and find what he was doing
during the day. Over the weekend, he was sitting on
the beach on Do you want to know why I
(25:28):
think you're not seeing our national guard there at least
in the numbers that we would expect them to be
in response to a disaster of this magnitude. It's because,
at least in Tennessee, the Tennessee National Guard is deploying
to the Middle East right now. And what's happening is
(25:52):
they're leaving family members behind who have been ravaged by
this storm. So these National guardsmen who are intended to protect,
you know, their home states towns America here are being deployed. So,
first of all, how do you think that's going to
(26:13):
affect the mind of our young servicemen and women who
find themselves in harms way that they're leaving at the
exact moment that their talent has been ravaged for a
conflict that doesn't concern them whatsoever. You know, I'm sorry,
but it just feels like to me that the pain
(26:35):
that this administration is inflicting on the American people is deliberate.
You know, I'm going to come over to the live chat.
I want am I crazy to think that this does
the pain that the Harris Biden administration inflict, certainly on
what are most assuredly Republican controlled areas, does it seem
(26:55):
deliberate to you? Yes or no? Let me know in
the live chat. I want to see I want to
see what you say and if you think I'm being
crazy or paranoid, let me know. I mean, look at
one hundred percent, deliver it all by design. Yes, yes, yes,
so I I mean I listen. So I'm not the
(27:23):
only one that thinks this. And we have Biden, Harris
Mayorcus all of FEMA with their heads completely up their asses,
not doing anything. And Trump, a man who was cheated
(27:44):
out of the presidency in twenty twenty, should be president
now nearing the end of his second term. Trump, but
a man who is not president is down there, boots
on the ground leading. When you look at campaigns, you know,
(28:05):
Bongino says correctly that campaigns are about snapshots and sound bites,
and I'm not you know, he's exactly right. But when
the American people and there are still some undecideds out there,
and I saw spar in the chat talking about we
need moderate Democrats and independents to get off the fence
and into the fight. Well, there are millions of people
(28:26):
out there trying to make up their mind. Now, how
you could be undecided at this point and then the
game is beyond me. But there are people out there
trying to make up their mind about who is going
to lead this country out of this shit show that
is the past three years almost four years of the
Harris Biden administration, and the juxtaposition between Harris and Trump
(28:47):
could not be more clear. Harris is in San Francisco
raising money with a bunch of mega wealthy donors in
an ultraliberal city that, by the way, has an app
that you can get on your phone to track human feces,
because that's exactly how you measure liberal policies and their
effect on a given area. But you have her out
(29:08):
there raising a bunch of money at swanky fundraisers, and
you have Trump boots on the ground. Leading governor is
doing a very good job.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
He's having a hard time getting the president's on the phone.
I guess they're not they're not being responsive. The federal
government is not being responsive. But they're having a very
hard time getting the getting the president on the phone.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
He won't get on in a push.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
The Vice president he's out someplace campaigning.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Looking for money. So they got to be they have
to be bookused over who will make this is a
really mad letter, and that the governor's doing a good job,
but he's having a hard.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Time getting the president on the phone, they're being very
non responsive.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He's exactly right, He's exactly right. Everybody that I've talked to,
every Republican that is in leadership positions in these states,
folks that I have talked to, said that they cannot
get this administration on the phone at all. So Biden's
saying that Governor Kemp said all that he had, all
(30:11):
that he needed. First of all, I don't buy that.
I don't buy that at all. You know what I've
come to realize over since sol since twenty sixteen, over
the past eight years, I'd say, is that Trump, when
he says something, he's often right, you know, much to
(30:35):
the chagrin of his detractors. And even there's a hell
of a lot of Republicans who, even in the moment
are like, oh, come on, the FBI did not tap
Trump Tower. Five years later, yep, the FBI tapped Trump Tower.
Trump knows what he's talking about, and he's unafraid to
say it, and he's right more often than he's not.
(30:58):
And I believe him here. But in times of great crisis,
leadership is about serving the American people. And listen, this
country is It's not just this natural disaster as horrifying
as it is. I'm gonna get into this in a second,
but there's a whole cascade of things happening at the
same time that you should be very concerned about. But
(31:19):
in times of great crisis, leaders rise to the moment
and they put politics aside. And I'm sorry that that
is exactly what Trump is doing in this moment, and
this is exactly what this country needs.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
As you know, our country is in the final weeks
of a hard fought national election. But in a time
like this, when a crisis hits, when our fellow citizens
cry out in need, none of that matters. We're not
talking about politics now. We have to all get together
and get this solved. We need a lot of help.
They have to have a lot of help down here.
We look out for one another. We pull it together,
(31:56):
we pitch in, we persevere, and we pull it through.
That is really the American spirit. That's what made America
originally great, and that's why today have come to Wealdessa
with large semi trucks, many of them filled with relief
aid and a tanker truck filled up with gasoline. We
(32:19):
have a couple of the big tanker trucks filled up
with gasoline, which they can't get now, and we'll be
working too distributed throughout the day. And I want to
thank again Franklin Graham and everyone at Samaritan's Pursue. People
are fantastic by the way, I just and people appreciate
you very much.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Trump is leading. Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean you
have all the answers. Being a leader doesn't mean you
even make all the right decisions. But being a leader
is about showing up, and nobody shows up better than
Donald Trump, especially in moments like this. Now, if you're wondering,
(33:04):
you know, why does FEMA's response seem like total garbage?
If you're thinking to yourself, hmm, it kind of seems
like this should be a much bigger story than it is. Well,
you would be right. You'd be right about that. And
I'm going to tell you exactly why FEMA is an
abject disaster, folks. This is why you should be concerned
(33:29):
with FEMA. If you're wondering why the FEMA response is
abject disaster or worse than usual, there are three reasons.
And not a whole lot of people have broken this
down yet, but I want you to know this. There
are three reasons. Right now, FEMA is obsessively focused with
(33:50):
what diversity, equity and inclusion. It's holy. That's the first thing.
The second thing is is almost entirely consumed with resettling
illegal aliens. So you, I just want to kind of
(34:12):
set this, lay this out there for you. Our taxpayer
dollars are funding this invasion, and our taxpayer dollars are
working to resettle these illegal aliens and towns across America,
and FEMA is helping. The third thing is is that
(34:33):
the National Guard from a great from quite a few
of these states is being activated and sent to the
Middle East. So if you look at Amuse, a Muse
is a great independent journalist on X. If you're not
following him, you definitely should. But he says this FEMA.
Under Administrator Deanna Chriswell's leadership, FEMA has shifted its priorities,
(34:57):
placing a heightened focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The
agency's twenty twenty two to twenty twenty six Strategic Plan
cites President Biden's Executive Order thirteen nine eighty five on
Advancing Racial Equity as a guiding framework. Using this directive,
(35:17):
chris Well has emphasized equity of outcome in both femas
hiring practices and in disaster response protocols. Critics argue that
this is translated into preferential treatment for certain racial and
ethnic groups when it comes to employment and the distribution
(35:39):
of aid. So, all of those people who are in
the chat saying that this feels a little bit deliberate,
were your feelings as usual? Battle Crew as usual, mcgroin's
as usual, Wendy Bell Radio Army, Your feelings are not wrong.
(36:00):
This is part of the plan. This is part of
Executive Order thirteen nine eighty five on advancing Racial Equity
as a guiding Framework. Again, critics argue that this has
translated into preferential treatment for certain racial and ethnic groups
when it comes to employment and distribution of aid. And
if you think that that does not extend to political party,
(36:22):
you would be wrong. Now, this video that I flagged
also happens to be very funny. And yes, this is
a very serious show talking about very serious things, but
trying to weave in some more humor. This video made
me laugh during it. This video made me laugh over
the weekend. But it's also it also shows you exactly
why there's been a lackluster response in my opinion, Yeah,
(36:49):
I talked to some.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Officials on scene. They say that this community if underwater,
and they have been using their votes to go and
rescue people out of their holes. We're to do a
little live interview here. I have deal here, just rescued
with his family by emergency services.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Dale.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Can you tell us what happened at your house?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Agree with his opinion, But what happened was, you know,
just throughout the day he started getting more and more water.
This man was just rescued by local officials. He's got
a guy, said Trump twenty twenty four in the background,
and before he even conducts his interview, he takes the
(37:35):
time to say, well, I agree with their perspective. As
funny as that video is, that's exactly why these people
aren't getting the aid that they deserve, the aid that
they need. It's codified in an executive order that's being
pushed by Biden and FEMA. Is is knee deep in
(37:57):
this DEI insanity. And if one thing has shown us anything,
like people were saying, Mike, that's the best trual I've
seen yet. Jerud Trump twenty twenty four. Rob is saying awesome,
stay in salty Lol. Yas my kids say yes, y ass?
(38:18):
What is that supposed to mean yes? Or yas? What's yas?
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Like? Yaes?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Is that like a kid thing? Is this supposed to
mean excitement? I guess maybe I'm aging myself here a
little bit, But all I'm saying is is that these
people deserve help and they're not getting it because of
their political affiliation. I'm absolutely convinced of it. And you
know what, I feel the exact same way about East Palestine, Ohio.
That's exactly why those people didn't get the help that
(38:45):
they deserve. These are Americans that have been left behind
courtesy of the Biden administration because of who they're pulling
the lever for. Also, Amused says this FEMA's inability to
effectively respond to the devis station left in the wake
of Hurricane Helen is glaringly tied to the sheer burden
(39:06):
they face from handling the migrant influx. Millions of migrants
have entered the country, both flown in and crossing the
border illegally, all under the purview of the so called
borders are This flood of migrants has diverted critical resources
to left leaning NGOs non governmental organizations where bureaucratic layers
(39:27):
and administrative costs siphon off funds, leaving only a fraction
for those who truly need it. This migrant crisis, largely
driven by the administration zone policies, has turned into a
self inflicted emergency. Kamala, who spearheaded the administration's border policies,
has drained FEMA's resources to the point where their capacity
(39:47):
to respond to actual disasters like Hurricane Helen Helene, right,
not Helen Helene is compromised as FEMA's funding flows toward
migrant resettlement. Okay, Commander Melanie is correcting me like she
usually does. Leen Helena, No, Lina, Lina Helene. Sorry, listen,
(40:08):
I'm an infant, your guy. Okay, Yeah, I'm a knuckle dragger.
I work hard on pronunciation thing, but sometimes it's not
my strong suit. But the point is is that Thema
Kamala has caused all this. So here's what's happening. She
is fine with being detached. She is fine with being
in San Francisco raising a crap ton of money with
(40:31):
San Francisco liberals rather than being boots on the ground
trying to help these people. Why do you think that
is she doesn't want to get blamed for it. Why
isn't she showing up down there? Because she doesn't want
to be tethered to what she sees as a sinking
ship that is Joe Biden. I mean, why hasn't she
invoked the twenty fifth Amendment? I mean, Biden's clearly not there.
(40:52):
He was asked about an attack on Iran, on Israel.
When Biden started muttering about a elective bargaining agreement in
the Union, He's gone cognitively not there. By law, Kamala
should have votd the twenty fifth. She doesn't. She would
rather a dementia patient be commander in chief for the
(41:13):
next several months because she doesn't want to be tied
to the Biden administration, even though she should be tied
to the Biden administration, but she doesn't want that. She
doesn't want the help because she doesn't want to assume
responsibility for all of his disasters. And so now this
is what this is the most This is the most
(41:34):
important part. And I feel like I might be like
one of the first people to talk about this. Have
any of you all had issues with Verizon today? I
want to hear in the live chat. My phone has
been on SOS all day. I have not been able
to make phone calls. Have any of you all had
(41:56):
issues with Verizon wireless? Today it has Verizon Wireless one
hundred and fourteen million customers in the United States. I've
had issues with Verizon Wireless. There have been widespread outages
with Verizon Wireless all over all over the country. So
if you go to Verizon, they acknowledge the fact that
(42:16):
there isn't that there was an outage today. So I
want you to think about something. You could see the
map of where they're experiencing outages. Imagine being a first responder,
or imagine being trapped on a roof in North Carolina
or East Tennessee, or in Georgia or in Florida and
are desperately trying to call out but you can't because
you don't have self service. So this happens at the
(42:39):
exact this Verizon wireless outage, And I could be completely wrong.
I could be completely wrong. So the worst Hurricane Helene,
Did I get that right, Commander Melanie, the worst hurricane
since Katrina. Verizon Wireless goes down shortly after that. Guess
what happens tomorrow. The port workers go on strike. We
(43:03):
told you about that right here on the show two
weeks ago with Brian Dean Wright. It's gonna adversely affect
our supply chain, but all of America's ports will be
shut down. Listen, and you are a teacher, Put you out,
grab your stuff, go home, Let's get out of here.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
We are officially on stike. Puts out, Let's go. We
are officially on stike.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
What about your feeling? They're all going on strike tomorrow.
And another crazy thing is as all of this is
going down, the United States Army Special Operations Command puts
(44:03):
out an irregular warfare video just for you know, you know,
I just want you to see it, and then we'll
discuss drones, black album, Biber attacked, Black Lives Matter style,
(44:57):
leftist riding box market, electricity going down, references the law air.
(45:23):
You get the point. All of this is happening at
the exact same time. I'm sorry, but I don't know
what you want me to say. Listen. Just seems to
me like Verizon hasn't really issued a statement. They've just said, yeah,
things have gone down. But again, one wonders the timing
(45:45):
of this and the wake of this horrible natural disaster,
timed with our ports potentially going down being closed. Put
my military commander's hat on. If I'm a military commander
and I'm legitimately serving this nation in uniform, I'm watching
(46:08):
what's happening, and I'm saying, you know, we should probably
be on guard. I'm not trying to scare you. God,
I hope I'm completely wrong, but all of these things
happening at once. In the US Special Operations Command releasing
a video on irregular warfare, get I'm sorry. I don't
(46:29):
believe in coincidences, folks, I just don't believe it. And also,
thirty six days until election day, the United States Postal
Service has suspended service to the zip codes that have
been affected by the storm. There are forty two zip
codes in Georgia. There are thirty nine zip codes in
North Carolina. There are nineteen zip codes in Tennessee. What
(46:53):
do all of these states have in common? They're all
red states. Now again, I'm saying that they're controlling the weather.
I'm not saying that. But what I am saying is
that our enemies watch for things like this. They watch
for America's attention to be diverted to a natural disaster,
(47:14):
and they capitalize on things like that to strike at
those moments. Now Verizon being the largest carrier in the
country with one hundred and fourteen million customers, big port
strike going on tomorrow. None of this stuff is private information.
It's all out there publicly, just saying folks, just saying, Okay,
(47:35):
I have got to ask have you seen the left
talking about masculinity? And I mean, have you have you
seen it? Because it's kind of amazing what the left
is trying to do here.
Speaker 6 (47:50):
Important part of an interesting part of how people have
talked about your role here is how your role has
reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've
planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
think that's part of the role you might play as
first gentleman. It's funny, I've started to think a lot
(48:11):
about this.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I've always been like this.
Speaker 6 (48:13):
My dad was like this, and to me, it's so.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
That was Doug m Hoff. That was circle back sake
saying to Doug em Hoff that he has redefined masculinity. Right,
I'm not exaggerating. The left is trying to redefine masculinity,
and the Internet has been a wash with videos like
(48:37):
this of men trying to redefine what is masculine for
the rest of US Americans. What's this that's masculinity? Do
(49:30):
if I did that, I'm pretty sure Commander Melanie would
divorce me and all of my children would disown me.
There is but this, this, this is like all it's
a trend. The left is redefining masculinity. And then of
course Tim Walls with his leg kick. I swear to God,
(50:00):
this is a leftist thing. And do you know why
they're doing it? Do you know why they're doing this?
They're doing it because Kamala Harris. I mean everything with
the left is breaking people down into the little groups.
As absurd as these videos have seemed, and I'm telling
you they're insane. I know, I'm sorry for showing them
(50:24):
to you, But as absurd as all this is seen,
the left is actually trying to make a play for
white men because Kamala not just white men, but men
in general. Kamala is hemorrhaging men like men are abandoning
her campaign, her movement in droves. I'm telling you, and
(50:47):
I've told you this from day one, but when you
got guys like Walls out there at a college football
game reacting to a college mascot like this, dudes are like,
I don't want any of that. There is no way
(51:13):
a weird ass dude like that could get to where
he was in life if he were not connected to
the CCP in some way, which, by the way, did
just see the news that James Comer came out with.
He wrote a letter House Oversight Committee said that he found,
along with House Oversight a very disturbing connection between Tim
(51:35):
Walls and the CCP. Who's been saying that one for
the last month, me, Brian Dean Wright has told you
the same thing. This dude said he was oh, by
the way, said he was in China for like, made
thirty trips to China. Turns out that was a lie.
It was only fifteen. But I haven't even been to
my favorite vacation spot fifteen between fifteen and thirty times.
(51:57):
No one, this dude's going to China between fifteen and
thirty times. It's insane he's And now the House Oversight
Committee James Comer saying that he has disturbing connections to
