Kamala Harris and Tim Walz decide to do a media blitz over the weekend with more interviews and it went just about as well as you’d think. Meanwhile, in an official FEMA Disaster Preparedness Meeting, they said relief is no longer about getting the greatest good for the greatest number of people, but “disaster equity”.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I read this story because it's insane. It's the headline
is from from the CBS affiliate in Martin County, Florida.
It said, from strip club to loan to arson, from
strip club to him to arson attempt? How a one
hundred dollars debt ignited in your tragedy. So it talks
about this uber driver who in deputies who stopped a
Dudley Arson attempt. But the reason they were able to
(00:35):
stop it is because the guy, the Florida may that
the uber driver picked up said he's on his way.
He's gonna go burn down his friend's trailer and he's
gonna be using some gasoline that he has because his
friend has not paid back one hundred dollars loan he
gave him to go to a strip club and have
a night out. And then so the uber driver like
was able to signal to authorities and they arrested this guy.
(00:57):
This is a crazy story. So they picked the pick
the guy up and the Carlos Flores, he was livid.
Thirty three year olds. He was livid because he gave
his friend, he said, one hundred dollars to go to
the Strop club. Why would you do that? And then
his friend ever paid it back. His friend insisted that
he did, but Flora said it didn't happen. So he
literally hired an Uber driver to drive him to his
(01:19):
friend's house where he was going to burn down his
friend's trailer. And I guess just get in the uber
and go back, Like how is that going to work?
I don't know. The driver was like understandably alarmed, and
so he discreetly alerted the deputies and he yeah, so
they had mariin Connie Sheriff's I mean, then they smelled
the gas on it, like they smelled that he had
accelerant on him. So he also had a knife, and
(01:40):
so I guess he was going to stab his friend.
He was. He got out and the Uber driver they
were like, I guess, you know, act normally, and the
deputies apprehended Flora's but Flores was able to pour out
some gasoline around the house and he was gonna light it.
That's crazy. So I honestly could not be an uber
driver because I think it's harder if your chick, but
also you got to be in a vehicle with weirdos sometimes, right,
(02:03):
Like I appreciate the drivers that go above and beyond
and they make it nice, you know when they got
like waters now, I mean I always love giving them
guys like great ratings, but I would be weird. Like
what if you get a Jackwagon who's like bringing guests
to his friends trailer Barney's house down, Like what if
you you got to give that guy, right and you
and you got to commit, like you don't even know
he's crazy until you're the journey has begun, right, You know,
(02:25):
drivers can give you ratings too. What kind of rating
you think that guy got? I bet he can't ever
take Uber again, Yeah, I bet he can't. So this
man was at a camp A campsite, got to talk
about this guy? Yeah, if you would imagine what people
who have method a campsite would look like. Yeah, that's
about right. Florida man was arrested on a drug charge
after a methamphetamine was found at his campsite in your
(02:45):
Home's creak boat ramp. Forty one year old Michael Ryan
Forbes is charged with possession of myth. He was also
going to manufacture cell or deliver twenty five hundred dollars bond.
He They said that the Sheriff's deputies were summoned to
Holmes Creak Boat because a suspicious activity, and of course
they found people with backpacks loaded up with meth and
glass pipes and all kinds of stuff, and they busted
(03:06):
like a whole bunch of people. So I guess they
were the man. One of the guys came, tell me
that you see the guy with the long hair who
literally looks like he was hired. He's like he's like
a cat. He looks like if a sloth became a
person and went to jail for meth, it would be
this guy forty eight year old. He's forty eight. This guy,
oh no, this is is this a fifty two year old?
(03:27):
The forty eight year old? I mean he looks I
can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that guy that want is getting ready share. It's
if a slack became a human. That looks like a fake.
It looks like a way. Anyway, they were all arrested
because they were going to distribute this myth from this
boat ramp.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I'm Lillian, an English major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale
President doctor Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
America's founders believed in a separation of church and state,
and that the country was not to have an official
religion or an official sect, but that did not mean
that government was to be hostile to religion or even
indifferent to religion, as many today argue. In fact, America's
founding document, the Decrice of Independence, includes both a reference
to God as the author of the laws of nature
(04:17):
and a confident assertion that human beings are endowed by
their creator with certain inalienable rights. Far from being hostile
or indifferent to religion, America's founders understood the theology of
the Declaration to be an essential part of the education
of citizens.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
This Constitution Minute was furnished by Hillsdale College. Welcome back
to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the
bottom of the second hour. I don't know if you've
got to see Tim Walls talk to Shannon Breen. By
(04:59):
the way, one of the nicest people in broadcasting. She's
a I mean, she's like an actual Christian like some
people are just wear the crosses. Sometimes you'll see people
on cable news and I joke around, but I'm serious,
like the bigger the cross, the bigger the the moral deficiency.
Many times I'm not kidding. One day I'm going to
write a book and I'll name people, but not now.
(05:22):
Just trust But she and a Bream actually is a
She is a legit. She's a real one. She's you know,
she's one of the nicest people. Obviously she's a conservative,
but she also is just an anker like she's this
is a weird phrase to say for legacy media, but
like a classically trained anchor. Right. She's very good at
what she does. So she had Tim Walls on these
(05:46):
are not hard questions that she's asking of him, and
it was well audio sun By twenty three it was
a disaster that's putting up mildly.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Watch the Vice president's meeting. Clear that she has policies
that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest,
the fairest we've seen is.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Now though there you know a lot of people, including
your own party, would not join that statements. There are
millions of people who have come here over the last
few years, that you know, they see this as an policies.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Well, simply, we have a policy. Donald Trump sees it
as a political Say. Look, James Langford and Oklahoma, the
Border Patrol agents, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of
Commerce all said past this legislation, you have to have
Congress to authorize fifteen hundred new border agents. You have
to have Congress to authorize DOJ to speed adjudications on
these asylum claims. Those are things that would actually work.
(06:43):
Donald Trump told us for four years he would deal
with this.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
He didn't.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He didn't build his wall two percent Mexico didn't pay
for it. This is a real bill that has bipartisan support,
It has the experts on board, and it starts to
tackle these issues. And we don't have to resort to
demon people. We don't have to resort to to making
up our crafting stories. As Center Vance said he did.
Those things were not happening in Springfield. But it doesn't
(07:09):
mean that we can't pass a piece of legislation to
strengthen our border. That's what kam Lairis is talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Well, after that, the problem that piece.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Of legislation does cut include the wall that you guys
had been so you've disparaged that. I mean the Vice
president has as well. So I don't know if she
really intends to move forward with that. But it was
negotiated by three or four senators, and many Republicans came
out against it long before President Trump indicated he didn't
like it either.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, and then there was this where they get into
the abortion issue. And you remember he told this story
and you know, we've talked about the story, the story
of imber Thurman, and this was out in Georgia where
even her own attorney said it was not the law
on abortion. It was, well, her attorney said it was
(07:54):
medical mal practice. Honestly, if you're taking that what is
it miths Pistron, the abortion pill. One of the effects
of that is she could get sup to she bleed
to death, all like horrible things like every bad side
effect is on the is detailed as a consequence of
taking that pill. She took it, and then after she
was vomiting blood for three days, she waited to go
(08:15):
to the hospital. Then she went to the hospital U Breen.
She confronted Waltz about this because Waltz kept saying that
it was abortion, the abortion law that killed Thurman and
it wasn't. Even her own attorney disagrees with that audio
somebody twenty four listen.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Wade and about the Amber Thurman case in Georgia. Her
family has and it's tragic. She is a young mother
who left behind a young son. But what her family
has said is it was a complication from an abortion
pill that she received and she didn't get proper care
when she went to a Georgia hospital, which had multiple
opportunities to intervene there. Her own attorney, the family's attorney,
says it wasn't the Georgia law, it was the hospitals.
(08:49):
What he claims is malpractice not treating for her when
she clearly showed up in distress and still had the
byproducts of her pregnancy because of that rare complication from
the abortion pill. So just to be clear on the
Georgia law and how her family opportunity sees it.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
He I think they also indicated that had she not
go to North Carolina after the debate the other night,
that she would have been in a better position.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So look, wait, no, had she just not she legally
acquired the pills, that's not an issue. So what he's
suggesting still is that there was some sort of illegality
due to the changing of the law, and there wasn't
that's not true. She waited for three days after she
took the pill when she was home three days, so
that's not true. These are not going well these interviews.
(09:32):
The sixty minutes interview was really bad. Audio Sunday too,
Kamala Harris was talking about the Middle East. I well, listen.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And it was prompted by and such as maps and
it's you know, not a lot of people have maps,
and it was such as such as that that was
so bad. Do you want to hear her talk about
her economic plan audio sound bite three? Go ahead. My plan,
(10:32):
oh boy.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Is about saying that when you invest in small businesses,
you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America's economy.
Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
But pardon me, that a vice president, the question was,
how are you going to pay for it?
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Well, one of the things that I'm going to make
sure that the richest among us who can afford.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not
right that teachers.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
And nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate
or not than billionaires and the biggest corporations.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I plan on making that fair.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
But we're dealing with the real world here.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But the real world includes.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
How are you going to get this through Congress?
Speaker 10 (11:19):
You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of
folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about
because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What is fake? It's almost like it's fake. I feel
like if you were watching this in a movie, it
would fit right he who is this guy? Who is
the acre? Because he's so straight faced, Juan, can you
just isolate where he just said? They're looking at her
because that man's poker face. I want that man's poker face.
(11:48):
I just want to have that man's he's just staring
at her.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
While there in our nation don't have that.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And that I believe that our education, like such as
a South Africa and Iraq everywhere.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Like such us and I believe that they should give me.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The yes because he was so good. He was so
good and he just was like very He just was
looking at her like I am un moved. Look at
his face, he is not that's a poker face. Look.
He's like amused. He's not sympathetic. If you're her and
you're staring at his face, can you read him? Can
(12:25):
you read his face? Can you can you tell whether
he's he's got he's got a touch of incredulity on
his his countenance. He's he looks like he's gonna laugh
at her, but he's also being it. Oh my gosh,
and he's like, but that's first. He's like, you didn't
answer the question. And this is CBS. They hate her.
(12:47):
Oh my gosh. It's so bad. It's so bad. But
there's more because isn't seven related to this too?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Or is this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I know, somebody's go ahead and play seven. This is
so bad.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
I want to take a moment, oh dry podcast, to
think of any law that gives the government the power
to make a decision. I know, I you're gonna ask
about a man's body.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
No, No, is there any law.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No, really, no sounds important. So she she can't go
and do She's only done like what she did sixty
minutes interview and then she went on, it's a sex podcast,
and this chick brought her on to talk to her,
and she it was like, you know, kind of that
kind of stuff. And of course they talked about abortions,
(13:41):
because heaven forbid you be a woman and you do
a podcast and you be on the left. I mean,
that's all you talk about sex, sex, vagina's abortions, baby killing,
blah blah blah. Be No, that's it, that's it. I'm
there's no lie. And she, I mean, she couldn't even
answer why. I think what audio some by five is this?
Because she was asked, well, why did you do this
(14:03):
podcast that didn't even touch on any serious issue? All
you talked about was sex and abortion? Why didn't you
Why didn't you like talk about anything serious? This was
her again. If you want to try to wade through
this answer, boy, audio somebody does five.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
I'm curious, Like you don't do too many long form interviews.
What made you want to do colored Addy today?
Speaker 10 (14:26):
Well, I think you and your listeners have really got
this thing right, which is one of the best ways
to communicate with people is to be real what you
know and to talk about things that people really care about.
What I love about what you do is that it's
about saying your voice and your show is really about
(14:48):
your listeners. And I think, especially now, this is a
moment in the country and in life where people really
want an their scene and heard and that they're part
of a community.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
This is so stickd They're not. This is so embarrassing.
So what is with that obstetrician set? Like it looks
like you're about to go in the corner and throw
your legs and stir ups. Is it just to like
reinforce that whole like, hey, you're at the guano. Is
that like the whole stick of it? It looks like
a giant Guino set? Am I wrong? I'm not wrong
with all the Amazon accouterments. I mean I can like
(15:20):
sit here and be like, that's all Amazon wishless from
some chick named Becky out in Utah, And it looks
like an obstetrician's office. That's what it looks like. That's
what the whole set looks like. It's a giant Maxi
Pad commercial that's it with wings. That's like supposed to
be like the it in podcasting and chicks and then
it's call her Daddy. Just how about shut up bitch?
(15:42):
How about that as a podcast name? I'd be great
with it. What I'm not wrong? You know I'm not wrong?
Can we can? I stop with the blonde wood? Hate it?
Hate it does? Though? You don't go into those offices,
can because you're a dude. I mean, when you go
into the man's office is like going to a mechanic shop,
(16:02):
and I don't know, I'm a check I don't go there.
I'm going to basic.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's quite different than the mechanic. But that did look
like just a general doctor's office, feel like a waiting
room sort of doctor's office thing. I don't know what
that was about it.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It looked like there's gonna be like some spa music playing,
and then somebody's got a diffuser in the corner, right,
one of those like one of those uh oil, yeah,
essentral oil diffusers. There's probably like a bowl of crystals
out there.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Geez.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I mean it makes me I'm allergic to that. Those
are the interviews that she does, that's what she does.
I I don't know. And then you have this, you
have Jensaki saying, well, they're going to start taking more risks.
Wollz Harris, which one was this? I had this highlight
and I just let it go. Uh she said that
they're they're gonna start hit Yeah, I guess in my
(16:50):
twenty five a big shift is coming. They're gonna start
taking more risks, like like what risks. Listen, we've already.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Seen them announce this, which I think is a great
thing by President Harris has a number of interviews she's
doing over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Wallet Tim Walls, who I think.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Is a huge asset who hasn't been tapped into nearly
enough for the last month, is going to be out
there a great deal.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
And you're right.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I mean, the thing is, at this point when everything matters,
you have to take risks and that people may make mistakes.
It's worth it put them out there and have them
doing a bunch of stuff. But we've already seen them
announce their plans to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So what I'm curious, like, are they going to go
and what are they doing? Kane?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
The risk is probably their planning an actual sit down
interview that isn't edited, that's live. That would be.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Risky, but they've been going so well for them, it'd
be so risky to sit downs. Partners are at Keltech,
the lightest thinnest nine milimeter on the market with double
stack maggets the cel Tech P fifteen. I almost said,
halff ten. It's the keel Tech P fifteen two versions
metal and polymer. Metal version has their gorgeous walnut panels
on it. The polymer version has it gator grip texture.
(17:59):
It's just nice. It comes to two magazine standard fifteen
round minimal pinky extension. If you want the uld drug concealability,
it has that too, flush fit. Double stack mag holds
twelve tritium fiber optric front, sight fully adjustable fiber optic
two dot rear, and it has striker fire reliability and
a great trigger pool, lifetime warranty compact. Just absolutely ideal
for concealed carey self defense. This is like one of
(18:20):
my go toos. It's the lightest thinness of anything I had.
That's nine millimeter. You don't lose stopping power, but you
gain concealability. It's from the inventors of the microcompact pistol category,
cel Tech Innovation, Performance Caltech. Learn more at kel Tech

It's the P fifteen. Tell them Dana sent you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So this is a crazy story, you guys. Remember he's
legally blind, the former New York Governor, David Patterson. So
he was savagely attacked by a group of teenagers. He
and his step son were out in Manhattan and they
saw these teenagers climbing a fire escape and he told
him to get down. And he and his steps on,
twenty year old Anthony Sila, they came across these teenagers.
(19:06):
They were walking their dog and they got beat up,
apparently brutally. I don't know what happened to the dog.
You're a post though, So that they got beat up
pretty bad. And it's interesting because Anthony is the biological
son of Curtis Sila, So he's out there walk I know.
That's what makes it super interesting, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
(19:26):
And so he got bruises and cuts. He's expected to recover.
He had a concussion. They actually had to take the
Patterson to Cornell to the medical center, where his condition
was listed as okay, but it was filed as a
gang assault. And these are like teenagers. I'm looking at them, guys,
they look like young It's so weird. So Atlanta's investigator
(19:48):
of the Year was allegedly shot after breaking into the home.
I don't know this. Aubrey Horton, thirty two was killed
in Douglas County by a homeowner in self defense. An
off duty Atlanta police investigator was face shot. He broke
into a home about five in the morning. He appeared
to be experiencing a mental health episode or under the
influence of narcotics. He tried to break into the front door.
(20:08):
The individual who resided there defended themselves. A ten year
old boy was charged for driving a stolen car near
a crowded Minneapolis playground and not just near it, but
also on it. A ten year old boy, and it's
not the first time that he's done this. So this
which is now coming out now with the video. September twentieth,
Minneapolis police said that it happened near elementary school at
(20:30):
Minneapolis when the playground was crowded and there was like
CCTV footage. Nobody was injured, thankfully, but this is the
third time this ten year old has been arrested. Listen
to this. He is a suspect ten years old in
a dozen cases auto theft, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon.
That is crazy. He's ten years old. His parents also
need to be culpable here. No, we don't need jumbo beavers,
(20:53):
but that's not going to stop scientist from trying to
resurrect one. First it was the DODO. Now it's this
stick with US ongoing disaster follow up recovery from Hurricane Helene.
It has been unbelievable the headlines that have been coming
out about this, and I'm looking at now how they've
been how they've been prioritizing the DEI stuff. I'm this
(21:17):
is which is the let me pull this up. There
was audio where they were saying that something it's like
that somehow people who are el alphabet are somehow more
disproportionately affected by weather like the hurricane. It was something
(21:40):
to that effect may have been And I'm they were
saying that they had this FEMA disaster preparedness meeting and
in it they were saying that, well, we should focus
our efforts on the alphabet people because they struggled before
the storm. They were really struggling before that. And I'm thinking,
(22:01):
wait a minute, they said it was about disaster equity.
What that doesn't make any sense to me. How is
this about disastered equity? As was at nine thirty this morning, Slack,
is this if we have this play this because this
is what they've been talking about with FEMA, and this
is i think one of the problems and making sure
that we're getting things to people.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
Listen, the you know, the shift that we're seeing right
now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles
where everything is designed for the greatest good for the
greatest amount of people, to disaster equity. But we have
to do more right and so this topic is intersecting,
i think with a number of other topics where we
(22:45):
have to look at policies and understand to what extent
they have disadvantaged communities that had less assets, communities that
had pre existing vulnerabilities.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So they're saying accessing disaster they have to we should
focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people. They struggled before the
storm was the direct quote, and.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
This is.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They also added, FEMA relief is no longer about getting
the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. It's
about disaster equity. What is disaster equity? What is even that?
But this is what they were talking about in this SoundBite.
And I am trying to wrap my head around this
(23:30):
because the alphabet people, how are they more disproportionately affected
by the hurricane? And people who don't add, who don't
say that they're alphabet people? I'm how what do gay
people get blown away more on the winds? I don't understand,
Like what's happening like anchor down the gaze, Like what's
going on? Do they get like blown up into the hurricane?
(23:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Is there a questionnaire before they rescue you?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That does the boat pull up when you're on top
of the pitched roof? Well, you know, which was apparently
a huge problem with Butler. Does when the boat pulls up,
do they go, hey, how do you like to have
to sex? Is that what they yell before they engage?
And yeah, are you gay? And then then there's probably
some you know, what was that we can't we can't
(24:18):
rescue you until we know if you're gay?
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Is that.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
If that's the case, we just advise everyone to say
they're gay.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, just go ahead and be like just yeah, be
like gay over here, get me Yeah, just go ahead,
get off them rooftops. They said, yeah, FEMA is no
longer about getting the greatest good for the greatest amount
of people. It's about disaster equity. So some people because okay,
let me just I know, let me walk down this
cause just bear with me please. So and this was
(24:46):
a FEMA disaster preparedness meeting, so this is not speculation.
These are literally FEMA people with official FEMA backgrounds and
their official FEMA zoom call talking about this stuff, and
they're they're saying that it's about disaster equity. So if
you and someone else are across a flooded street and
you're on each other's you're on your roof and they're
(25:07):
on their roof, and there's one boat, then it has
to go to the person who's alphabet because it's about
disaster equity. That means if you have to die in
the name of equity, then I guess you've got to die.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. We are
taking you know, these these identity factors and making them
(25:28):
into idols at the expense of security and safety. They
struggled before the storm. Oh my gosh, I can't. I can't.
One of the guys whose picture there, I don't even
understand what half of his So his name is Tyler Atkins.
(25:49):
He's a FEMA. He works as a training manager in
the Office of Resilience, managing our Resilient and Ready seminar series.
It's a twife monthly webinar. Say this sounds horrible. It
discusses climate chain equity and FEMA programs. Oh, they have
twenty three thousand employees and they get like thirty billion
dollars a year. Why again, this is so? And they've
(26:13):
been trying to community note it on X and they're
trying to say it's not FEMA, but yes, we have
to actually acknowledge that it's FEMA, admitting that it's FEMA
because it is so. I mean, what if you can't
What if you're drowning in the waters, like actively entering
your lungs when the boat, the FEMA boat pulls up
and you can't. They don't know what to do, Like
we don't know if he's gay, you can't say, I mean,
(26:34):
can you, sir, can you stop drowning for a second,
just tell us whether or not you're gay. I'm not
making all this up. This is this is how stupid
this is. And then you have this audio somebody eleven.
They're concerned about the shelters misgendering illegal immigrant trans people.
This is all this stuff FEMA has been involved in.
Listen to this stuff. This is crazy being a migrant
(26:56):
trans woman.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
There is an undocumented concern. There is also a concern
of whether they would trust the people places that are
offering shelter that are faith based because of the way
they've been responded to in the past, than if they
are accepted, what would happen in terms of misgendering in
terms of bedrooms and bathrooms, et cetera. And then in addition,
(27:19):
public safety once they're inside from those who are actually
sheltering with them.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You know, the first people who have been showing up
to all the stuff have been faith based people. FEMA
showed up a week later, so they don't get to complain,
they don't they don't get to do any of those
they showed up, they showed up way later. So it
was the faith based people that showed up first, and
now you're more worried about will are they using the
proper pronouns? Who gives the rats ask? You've been displaced
(27:45):
by a hurricane, you're in need of shelter. Oh my gosh. Stop.
This is where fantasy goes too far, where you're now
actually impeding recovery, assistance, disaster response because of fantasy role play.
And you can get mad that it's called fantasy roleplay,
but that's exactly what it is. I mean, it's it's
(28:07):
fantasy role play. And now it's actually affecting saving lives.
This is just insane that we're at this juncture in
society right now. Well, there's we can't we don't know
if they're you know, if they're misgendering people. You know
they've they're helped. You've got to volunteer staff. Usually with
a lot of these I mean these, well all of them,
(28:29):
all of these faith based entities, it's a volunteer staff.
They are operating these shelters, they're serving their community. They're
also dealing with hundreds, sometimes thousands of people who need assistance.
We don't have time for this. We do not have
time for this either. You're prioritizing saving lives and and
(28:52):
disaster recovery, or you just want to be the turn
of the punch bowl and mess everything up because you're
insistent on marping. I mean it just audio sound bye nine.
This is when they've been pushing. This is their public
relations campaign. They're trying to say that this stuff is
saying these things and criticizing the agency about these issues.
(29:12):
You're criticizing them over something false. But what we just
played for you are literally two videos of FEMA people
in official FEMA meetings talking about it audios sound byte nine.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
So much is going viral online as well.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
One user suggested yesterday that the militia should go against FEMA.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I got more than half a million views. What kind
of impact has this had on the recovery effort?
Speaker 13 (29:37):
It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of
our own employees to be able to go out there.
But it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders
that have been out there in their communities helping people,
FEMA staff, volunteers, the private sector that are working side
by side with local officials to go out and help people.
(29:59):
I need to make sure I can get the resources
to where they needed And when you have this dangerous
rhetoric like you're hearing, it creates fear in our own employees.
We need to make sure we're getting help to the
people who need it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Okay, well you're prioritizing though all of this other identity
politics stuff that has nothing to do with anything that
you're talking about. So I'm just I'm confused. And these
aren't falsehoods. All the stuff that they've been saying is
actually accurate that they're being criticized over. I mean, we've
got more. I mean, this is just the you know,
the tip of the iceberg. And yeah, and they are
(30:31):
claiming that they never gave any kind of money for
the care and housing of those who came in illegally. Well,
that's just false because we have receipts for that. I mean,
it's publicly available for kind of a lot. It's on
FEMA's website. How do you think people got this information?
This is so stupid. I can't even belive we're arguing
about this. Thanks for tuning in.

Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I read this story because it's insane. It's the headline
is from from the CBS affiliate in Martin County, Florida.
It said, from strip club to loan to arson, from
strip club to him to arson attempt? How a one
hundred dollars debt ignited in your tragedy. So it talks
about this uber driver who in deputies who stopped a
Dudley Arson attempt. But the reason they were able to
(00:35):
stop it is because the guy, the Florida may that
the uber driver picked up said he's on his way.
He's gonna go burn down his friend's trailer and he's
gonna be using some gasoline that he has because his
friend has not paid back one hundred dollars loan he
gave him to go to a strip club and have
a night out. And then so the uber driver like
was able to signal to authorities and they arrested this guy.
(00:57):
This is a crazy story. So they picked the pick
the guy up and the Carlos Flores, he was livid.
Thirty three year olds. He was livid because he gave
his friend, he said, one hundred dollars to go to
the Strop club. Why would you do that? And then
his friend ever paid it back. His friend insisted that
he did, but Flora said it didn't happen. So he
literally hired an Uber driver to drive him to his
(01:19):
friend's house where he was going to burn down his
friend's trailer. And I guess just get in the uber
and go back, Like how is that going to work?
I don't know. The driver was like understandably alarmed, and
so he discreetly alerted the deputies and he yeah, so
they had mariin Connie Sheriff's I mean, then they smelled
the gas on it, like they smelled that he had
accelerant on him. So he also had a knife, and
(01:40):
so I guess he was going to stab his friend.
He was. He got out and the Uber driver they
were like, I guess, you know, act normally, and the
deputies apprehended Flora's but Flores was able to pour out
some gasoline around the house and he was gonna light it.
That's crazy. So I honestly could not be an uber
driver because I think it's harder if your chick, but
also you got to be in a vehicle with weirdos sometimes, right,
(02:03):
Like I appreciate the drivers that go above and beyond
and they make it nice, you know when they got
like waters now, I mean I always love giving them
guys like great ratings, but I would be weird. Like
what if you get a Jackwagon who's like bringing guests
to his friends trailer Barney's house down, Like what if
you you got to give that guy, right and you
and you got to commit, like you don't even know
he's crazy until you're the journey has begun, right, You know,
(02:25):
drivers can give you ratings too. What kind of rating
you think that guy got? I bet he can't ever
take Uber again, Yeah, I bet he can't. So this
man was at a camp A campsite, got to talk
about this guy? Yeah, if you would imagine what people
who have method a campsite would look like. Yeah, that's
about right. Florida man was arrested on a drug charge
after a methamphetamine was found at his campsite in your
(02:45):
Home's creak boat ramp. Forty one year old Michael Ryan
Forbes is charged with possession of myth. He was also
going to manufacture cell or deliver twenty five hundred dollars bond.
He They said that the Sheriff's deputies were summoned to
Holmes Creak Boat because a suspicious activity, and of course
they found people with backpacks loaded up with meth and
glass pipes and all kinds of stuff, and they busted
(03:06):
like a whole bunch of people. So I guess they
were the man. One of the guys came, tell me
that you see the guy with the long hair who
literally looks like he was hired. He's like he's like
a cat. He looks like if a sloth became a
person and went to jail for meth, it would be
this guy forty eight year old. He's forty eight. This guy,
oh no, this is is this a fifty two year old?
(03:27):
The forty eight year old? I mean he looks I
can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that guy that want is getting ready share. It's
if a slack became a human. That looks like a fake.
It looks like a way. Anyway, they were all arrested
because they were going to distribute this myth from this
boat ramp.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I'm Lillian, an English major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale
President doctor Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
America's founders believed in a separation of church and state,
and that the country was not to have an official
religion or an official sect, but that did not mean
that government was to be hostile to religion or even
indifferent to religion, as many today argue. In fact, America's
founding document, the Decrice of Independence, includes both a reference
to God as the author of the laws of nature
(04:17):
and a confident assertion that human beings are endowed by
their creator with certain inalienable rights. Far from being hostile
or indifferent to religion, America's founders understood the theology of
the Declaration to be an essential part of the education
of citizens.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
This Constitution Minute was furnished by Hillsdale College. Welcome back
to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the
bottom of the second hour. I don't know if you've
got to see Tim Walls talk to Shannon Breen. By
(04:59):
the way, one of the nicest people in broadcasting. She's
a I mean, she's like an actual Christian like some
people are just wear the crosses. Sometimes you'll see people
on cable news and I joke around, but I'm serious,
like the bigger the cross, the bigger the the moral deficiency.
Many times I'm not kidding. One day I'm going to
write a book and I'll name people, but not now.
(05:22):
Just trust But she and a Bream actually is a
She is a legit. She's a real one. She's you know,
she's one of the nicest people. Obviously she's a conservative,
but she also is just an anker like she's this
is a weird phrase to say for legacy media, but
like a classically trained anchor. Right. She's very good at
what she does. So she had Tim Walls on these
(05:46):
are not hard questions that she's asking of him, and
it was well audio sun By twenty three it was
a disaster that's putting up mildly.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Watch the Vice president's meeting. Clear that she has policies
that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest,
the fairest we've seen is.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Now though there you know a lot of people, including
your own party, would not join that statements. There are
millions of people who have come here over the last
few years, that you know, they see this as an policies.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Well, simply, we have a policy. Donald Trump sees it
as a political Say. Look, James Langford and Oklahoma, the
Border Patrol agents, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of
Commerce all said past this legislation, you have to have
Congress to authorize fifteen hundred new border agents. You have
to have Congress to authorize DOJ to speed adjudications on
these asylum claims. Those are things that would actually work.
(06:43):
Donald Trump told us for four years he would deal
with this.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
He didn't.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He didn't build his wall two percent Mexico didn't pay
for it. This is a real bill that has bipartisan support,
It has the experts on board, and it starts to
tackle these issues. And we don't have to resort to
demon people. We don't have to resort to to making
up our crafting stories. As Center Vance said he did.
Those things were not happening in Springfield. But it doesn't
(07:09):
mean that we can't pass a piece of legislation to
strengthen our border. That's what kam Lairis is talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Well, after that, the problem that piece.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Of legislation does cut include the wall that you guys
had been so you've disparaged that. I mean the Vice
president has as well. So I don't know if she
really intends to move forward with that. But it was
negotiated by three or four senators, and many Republicans came
out against it long before President Trump indicated he didn't
like it either.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, and then there was this where they get into
the abortion issue. And you remember he told this story
and you know, we've talked about the story, the story
of imber Thurman, and this was out in Georgia where
even her own attorney said it was not the law
on abortion. It was, well, her attorney said it was
(07:54):
medical mal practice. Honestly, if you're taking that what is
it miths Pistron, the abortion pill. One of the effects
of that is she could get sup to she bleed
to death, all like horrible things like every bad side
effect is on the is detailed as a consequence of
taking that pill. She took it, and then after she
was vomiting blood for three days, she waited to go
(08:15):
to the hospital. Then she went to the hospital U Breen.
She confronted Waltz about this because Waltz kept saying that
it was abortion, the abortion law that killed Thurman and
it wasn't. Even her own attorney disagrees with that audio
somebody twenty four listen.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Wade and about the Amber Thurman case in Georgia. Her
family has and it's tragic. She is a young mother
who left behind a young son. But what her family
has said is it was a complication from an abortion
pill that she received and she didn't get proper care
when she went to a Georgia hospital, which had multiple
opportunities to intervene there. Her own attorney, the family's attorney,
says it wasn't the Georgia law, it was the hospitals.
(08:49):
What he claims is malpractice not treating for her when
she clearly showed up in distress and still had the
byproducts of her pregnancy because of that rare complication from
the abortion pill. So just to be clear on the
Georgia law and how her family opportunity sees it.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
He I think they also indicated that had she not
go to North Carolina after the debate the other night,
that she would have been in a better position.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So look, wait, no, had she just not she legally
acquired the pills, that's not an issue. So what he's
suggesting still is that there was some sort of illegality
due to the changing of the law, and there wasn't
that's not true. She waited for three days after she
took the pill when she was home three days, so
that's not true. These are not going well these interviews.
(09:32):
The sixty minutes interview was really bad. Audio Sunday too,
Kamala Harris was talking about the Middle East. I well, listen.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And it was prompted by and such as maps and
it's you know, not a lot of people have maps,
and it was such as such as that that was
so bad. Do you want to hear her talk about
her economic plan audio sound bite three? Go ahead. My plan,
(10:32):
oh boy.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Is about saying that when you invest in small businesses,
you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America's economy.
Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
But pardon me, that a vice president, the question was,
how are you going to pay for it?
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Well, one of the things that I'm going to make
sure that the richest among us who can afford.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not
right that teachers.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
And nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate
or not than billionaires and the biggest corporations.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I plan on making that fair.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
But we're dealing with the real world here.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But the real world includes.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
How are you going to get this through Congress?
Speaker 10 (11:19):
You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of
folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about
because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What is fake? It's almost like it's fake. I feel
like if you were watching this in a movie, it
would fit right he who is this guy? Who is
the acre? Because he's so straight faced, Juan, can you
just isolate where he just said? They're looking at her
because that man's poker face. I want that man's poker face.
(11:48):
I just want to have that man's he's just staring
at her.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
While there in our nation don't have that.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And that I believe that our education, like such as
a South Africa and Iraq everywhere.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Like such us and I believe that they should give me.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The yes because he was so good. He was so
good and he just was like very He just was
looking at her like I am un moved. Look at
his face, he is not that's a poker face. Look.
He's like amused. He's not sympathetic. If you're her and
you're staring at his face, can you read him? Can
(12:25):
you read his face? Can you can you tell whether
he's he's got he's got a touch of incredulity on
his his countenance. He's he looks like he's gonna laugh
at her, but he's also being it. Oh my gosh,
and he's like, but that's first. He's like, you didn't
answer the question. And this is CBS. They hate her.
(12:47):
Oh my gosh. It's so bad. It's so bad. But
there's more because isn't seven related to this too?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Or is this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I know, somebody's go ahead and play seven. This is
so bad.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
I want to take a moment, oh dry podcast, to
think of any law that gives the government the power
to make a decision. I know, I you're gonna ask
about a man's body.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
No, No, is there any law.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No, really, no sounds important. So she she can't go
and do She's only done like what she did sixty
minutes interview and then she went on, it's a sex podcast,
and this chick brought her on to talk to her,
and she it was like, you know, kind of that
kind of stuff. And of course they talked about abortions,
(13:41):
because heaven forbid you be a woman and you do
a podcast and you be on the left. I mean,
that's all you talk about sex, sex, vagina's abortions, baby killing,
blah blah blah. Be No, that's it, that's it. I'm
there's no lie. And she, I mean, she couldn't even
answer why. I think what audio some by five is this?
Because she was asked, well, why did you do this
(14:03):
podcast that didn't even touch on any serious issue? All
you talked about was sex and abortion? Why didn't you
Why didn't you like talk about anything serious? This was
her again. If you want to try to wade through
this answer, boy, audio somebody does five.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
I'm curious, Like you don't do too many long form interviews.
What made you want to do colored Addy today?
Speaker 10 (14:26):
Well, I think you and your listeners have really got
this thing right, which is one of the best ways
to communicate with people is to be real what you
know and to talk about things that people really care about.
What I love about what you do is that it's
about saying your voice and your show is really about
(14:48):
your listeners. And I think, especially now, this is a
moment in the country and in life where people really
want an their scene and heard and that they're part
of a community.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
This is so stickd They're not. This is so embarrassing.
So what is with that obstetrician set? Like it looks
like you're about to go in the corner and throw
your legs and stir ups. Is it just to like
reinforce that whole like, hey, you're at the guano. Is
that like the whole stick of it? It looks like
a giant Guino set? Am I wrong? I'm not wrong
with all the Amazon accouterments. I mean I can like
(15:20):
sit here and be like, that's all Amazon wishless from
some chick named Becky out in Utah, And it looks
like an obstetrician's office. That's what it looks like. That's
what the whole set looks like. It's a giant Maxi
Pad commercial that's it with wings. That's like supposed to
be like the it in podcasting and chicks and then
it's call her Daddy. Just how about shut up bitch?
(15:42):
How about that as a podcast name? I'd be great
with it. What I'm not wrong? You know I'm not wrong?
Can we can? I stop with the blonde wood? Hate it?
Hate it does? Though? You don't go into those offices,
can because you're a dude. I mean, when you go
into the man's office is like going to a mechanic shop,
(16:02):
and I don't know, I'm a check I don't go there.
I'm going to basic.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's quite different than the mechanic. But that did look
like just a general doctor's office, feel like a waiting
room sort of doctor's office thing. I don't know what
that was about it.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It looked like there's gonna be like some spa music playing,
and then somebody's got a diffuser in the corner, right,
one of those like one of those uh oil, yeah,
essentral oil diffusers. There's probably like a bowl of crystals
out there.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Geez.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I mean it makes me I'm allergic to that. Those
are the interviews that she does, that's what she does.
I I don't know. And then you have this, you
have Jensaki saying, well, they're going to start taking more risks.
Wollz Harris, which one was this? I had this highlight
and I just let it go. Uh she said that
they're they're gonna start hit Yeah, I guess in my
(16:50):
twenty five a big shift is coming. They're gonna start
taking more risks, like like what risks. Listen, we've already.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Seen them announce this, which I think is a great
thing by President Harris has a number of interviews she's
doing over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Wallet Tim Walls, who I think.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Is a huge asset who hasn't been tapped into nearly
enough for the last month, is going to be out
there a great deal.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
And you're right.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I mean, the thing is, at this point when everything matters,
you have to take risks and that people may make mistakes.
It's worth it put them out there and have them
doing a bunch of stuff. But we've already seen them
announce their plans to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So what I'm curious, like, are they going to go
and what are they doing? Kane?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
The risk is probably their planning an actual sit down
interview that isn't edited, that's live. That would be.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Risky, but they've been going so well for them, it'd
be so risky to sit downs. Partners are at Keltech,
the lightest thinnest nine milimeter on the market with double
stack maggets the cel Tech P fifteen. I almost said,
halff ten. It's the keel Tech P fifteen two versions
metal and polymer. Metal version has their gorgeous walnut panels

It's the P fifteen. Tell them Dana sent you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So this is a crazy story, you guys. Remember he's
legally blind, the former New York Governor, David Patterson. So
he was savagely attacked by a group of teenagers. He
and his step son were out in Manhattan and they
saw these teenagers climbing a fire escape and he told
him to get down. And he and his steps on,
twenty year old Anthony Sila, they came across these teenagers.
(19:06):
They were walking their dog and they got beat up,
apparently brutally. I don't know what happened to the dog.
You're a post though, So that they got beat up
pretty bad. And it's interesting because Anthony is the biological
son of Curtis Sila, So he's out there walk I know.
That's what makes it super interesting, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
(19:26):
And so he got bruises and cuts. He's expected to recover.
He had a concussion. They actually had to take the
Patterson to Cornell to the medical center, where his condition
was listed as okay, but it was filed as a
gang assault. And these are like teenagers. I'm looking at them, guys,
they look like young It's so weird. So Atlanta's investigator
(19:48):
of the Year was allegedly shot after breaking into the home.
I don't know this. Aubrey Horton, thirty two was killed
in Douglas County by a homeowner in self defense. An
off duty Atlanta police investigator was face shot. He broke
into a home about five in the morning. He appeared
to be experiencing a mental health episode or under the
influence of narcotics. He tried to break into the front door.
(20:08):
The individual who resided there defended themselves. A ten year
old boy was charged for driving a stolen car near
a crowded Minneapolis playground and not just near it, but
also on it. A ten year old boy, and it's
not the first time that he's done this. So this
which is now coming out now with the video. September twentieth,
Minneapolis police said that it happened near elementary school at
(20:30):
Minneapolis when the playground was crowded and there was like
CCTV footage. Nobody was injured, thankfully, but this is the
third time this ten year old has been arrested. Listen
to this. He is a suspect ten years old in
a dozen cases auto theft, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon.
That is crazy. He's ten years old. His parents also
need to be culpable here. No, we don't need jumbo beavers,
(20:53):
but that's not going to stop scientist from trying to
resurrect one. First it was the DODO. Now it's this
stick with US ongoing disaster follow up recovery from Hurricane Helene.
It has been unbelievable the headlines that have been coming
out about this, and I'm looking at now how they've
been how they've been prioritizing the DEI stuff. I'm this
(21:17):
is which is the let me pull this up. There
was audio where they were saying that something it's like
that somehow people who are el alphabet are somehow more
disproportionately affected by weather like the hurricane. It was something
(21:40):
to that effect may have been And I'm they were
saying that they had this FEMA disaster preparedness meeting and
in it they were saying that, well, we should focus
our efforts on the alphabet people because they struggled before
the storm. They were really struggling before that. And I'm thinking,
(22:01):
wait a minute, they said it was about disaster equity.
What that doesn't make any sense to me. How is
this about disastered equity? As was at nine thirty this morning, Slack,
is this if we have this play this because this
is what they've been talking about with FEMA, and this
is i think one of the problems and making sure
that we're getting things to people.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
Listen, the you know, the shift that we're seeing right
now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles
where everything is designed for the greatest good for the
greatest amount of people, to disaster equity. But we have
to do more right and so this topic is intersecting,
i think with a number of other topics where we
(22:45):
have to look at policies and understand to what extent
they have disadvantaged communities that had less assets, communities that
had pre existing vulnerabilities.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So they're saying accessing disaster they have to we should
focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people. They struggled before the
storm was the direct quote, and.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
This is.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They also added, FEMA relief is no longer about getting
the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. It's
about disaster equity. What is disaster equity? What is even that?
But this is what they were talking about in this SoundBite.
And I am trying to wrap my head around this
(23:30):
because the alphabet people, how are they more disproportionately affected
by the hurricane? And people who don't add, who don't
say that they're alphabet people? I'm how what do gay
people get blown away more on the winds? I don't understand,
Like what's happening like anchor down the gaze, Like what's
going on? Do they get like blown up into the hurricane?
(23:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Is there a questionnaire before they rescue you?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That does the boat pull up when you're on top
of the pitched roof? Well, you know, which was apparently
a huge problem with Butler. Does when the boat pulls up,
do they go, hey, how do you like to have
to sex? Is that what they yell before they engage?
And yeah, are you gay? And then then there's probably
some you know, what was that we can't we can't
(24:18):
rescue you until we know if you're gay?
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Is that.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
If that's the case, we just advise everyone to say
they're gay.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, just go ahead and be like just yeah, be
like gay over here, get me Yeah, just go ahead,
get off them rooftops. They said, yeah, FEMA is no
longer about getting the greatest good for the greatest amount
of people. It's about disaster equity. So some people because okay,
let me just I know, let me walk down this
cause just bear with me please. So and this was
(24:46):
a FEMA disaster preparedness meeting, so this is not speculation.
These are literally FEMA people with official FEMA backgrounds and
their official FEMA zoom call talking about this stuff, and
they're they're saying that it's about disaster equity. So if
you and someone else are across a flooded street and
you're on each other's you're on your roof and they're
(25:07):
on their roof, and there's one boat, then it has
to go to the person who's alphabet because it's about
disaster equity. That means if you have to die in
the name of equity, then I guess you've got to die.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. We are
taking you know, these these identity factors and making them
(25:28):
into idols at the expense of security and safety. They
struggled before the storm. Oh my gosh, I can't. I can't.
One of the guys whose picture there, I don't even
understand what half of his So his name is Tyler Atkins.
(25:49):
He's a FEMA. He works as a training manager in
the Office of Resilience, managing our Resilient and Ready seminar series.
It's a twife monthly webinar. Say this sounds horrible. It
discusses climate chain equity and FEMA programs. Oh, they have
twenty three thousand employees and they get like thirty billion
dollars a year. Why again, this is so? And they've
(26:13):
been trying to community note it on X and they're
trying to say it's not FEMA, but yes, we have
to actually acknowledge that it's FEMA, admitting that it's FEMA
because it is so. I mean, what if you can't
What if you're drowning in the waters, like actively entering
your lungs when the boat, the FEMA boat pulls up
and you can't. They don't know what to do, Like
we don't know if he's gay, you can't say, I mean,
(26:34):
can you, sir, can you stop drowning for a second,
just tell us whether or not you're gay. I'm not
making all this up. This is this is how stupid
this is. And then you have this audio somebody eleven.
They're concerned about the shelters misgendering illegal immigrant trans people.
This is all this stuff FEMA has been involved in.
Listen to this stuff. This is crazy being a migrant
(26:56):
trans woman.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
There is an undocumented concern. There is also a concern
of whether they would trust the people places that are
offering shelter that are faith based because of the way
they've been responded to in the past, than if they
are accepted, what would happen in terms of misgendering in
terms of bedrooms and bathrooms, et cetera. And then in addition,
(27:19):
public safety once they're inside from those who are actually
sheltering with them.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You know, the first people who have been showing up
to all the stuff have been faith based people. FEMA
showed up a week later, so they don't get to complain,
they don't they don't get to do any of those
they showed up, they showed up way later. So it
was the faith based people that showed up first, and
now you're more worried about will are they using the
proper pronouns? Who gives the rats ask? You've been displaced
(27:45):
by a hurricane, you're in need of shelter. Oh my gosh. Stop.
This is where fantasy goes too far, where you're now
actually impeding recovery, assistance, disaster response because of fantasy role play.
And you can get mad that it's called fantasy roleplay,
but that's exactly what it is. I mean, it's it's
(28:07):
fantasy role play. And now it's actually affecting saving lives.
This is just insane that we're at this juncture in
society right now. Well, there's we can't we don't know
if they're you know, if they're misgendering people. You know
they've they're helped. You've got to volunteer staff. Usually with
a lot of these I mean these, well all of them,
(28:29):
all of these faith based entities, it's a volunteer staff.
They are operating these shelters, they're serving their community. They're
also dealing with hundreds, sometimes thousands of people who need assistance.
We don't have time for this. We do not have
time for this either. You're prioritizing saving lives and and
(28:52):
disaster recovery, or you just want to be the turn
of the punch bowl and mess everything up because you're
insistent on marping. I mean it just audio sound bye nine.
This is when they've been pushing. This is their public
relations campaign. They're trying to say that this stuff is
saying these things and criticizing the agency about these issues.
(29:12):
You're criticizing them over something false. But what we just
played for you are literally two videos of FEMA people
in official FEMA meetings talking about it audios sound byte nine.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
So much is going viral online as well.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
One user suggested yesterday that the militia should go against FEMA.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I got more than half a million views. What kind
of impact has this had on the recovery effort?
Speaker 13 (29:37):
It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of
our own employees to be able to go out there.
But it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders
that have been out there in their communities helping people,
FEMA staff, volunteers, the private sector that are working side
by side with local officials to go out and help people.
(29:59):
I need to make sure I can get the resources
to where they needed And when you have this dangerous
rhetoric like you're hearing, it creates fear in our own employees.
We need to make sure we're getting help to the
people who need it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Okay, well you're prioritizing though all of this other identity
politics stuff that has nothing to do with anything that
you're talking about. So I'm just I'm confused. And these
aren't falsehoods. All the stuff that they've been saying is
actually accurate that they're being criticized over. I mean, we've
got more. I mean, this is just the you know,
the tip of the iceberg. And yeah, and they are
(30:31):
claiming that they never gave any kind of money for
the care and housing of those who came in illegally. Well,
that's just false because we have receipts for that. I mean,
it's publicly available for kind of a lot. It's on
FEMA's website. How do you think people got this information?
This is so stupid. I can't even belive we're arguing
about this. Thanks for tuning in.
