Cat and Jules talk about the latest on the latest in the latest hurricane watch area, and how the storm is affecting the Tampa area of Florida. They also discuss why Tampa is the most vulnerable city in the country for storm surge, and why it should be a disaster zone.
00:02:16.620Hello, hello, hello. Today is Wednesday, October 9th, 2024. Episode number 664. Please remember to like, share, follow and hit the notification button so you know when we go live on this show. You are in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd. Hey there, Cat. How are you?
00:02:46.620You're about to give everybody a heart attack. Everybody's worried. You're going the opposite direction.
00:02:51.840Yeah, I'm okay, though. I mean, they're dropping a feather south now. I mean, I'm about an hour away, but it's pretty windy already. But it's not going to, I mean, it might blow 30 miles an hour. But I'm out of it. I'm not involved. Pray for the people that are in it.
00:03:06.540Oh boy. And they really are in it. There has been nonstop coverage. As I told everybody, I've got friends that are flying in here. I have two that are already here. And then I've got a whole bunch more that are coming as a result. So it looks like we're going to be doing a hurricane watch party here at my house.
00:03:22.700It's just, if you know how Florida's set up, and I've spent tons of time in Tampa, and I work, you know, I had a job that lasted two years down there. So I live there most of the time.
00:03:34.880So, but like when it hits the beach here, let's say it's Panama City. I mean, there are some bays around here, but nothing big. So, you know, it hits the beach, kind of destroys the beach, and it goes inland, and it's just woods, swamps. But down there, man, that whole town's pretty much built around a huge bay, you know, Tampa Bay.
00:03:53.880And so, and then, and there's so many bays like that. So just like everybody, instead of like, you know, 10% of the people down here being in the surge zone, you know, just like everybody's in the surge zone down there. So it's just a horrible place for a hurricane to hit.
00:04:09.220It really is. I mean, they're, they're talking about how bad it is. And they're saying they actually have this whole segment on why Tampa is the most vulnerable city in America for hurricane storm surges.
00:04:22.100And you know, they did. Yes, exactly. That's what I've been saying. And it really is. They said, it's a mix of fatal factors, you know, colliding to create catastrophic conditions. It should it take a direct hit from a major storm like incoming Hurricane Milton, it is going to be an absolute disaster zone.
00:04:42.940I mean, the elevations are less than 10 feet above sea level. That's what we're dealing with here. Millions of homes will be severely flooded if Milton's 15 foot storm surge comes to fruition.
00:04:58.060They were last hit by a major hurricane in 1921. When just a few people 100 people lived in sparsely developed backwater towns back then, and the community was still devastated. You have ocean waves, they broke in the middle of downtown Tampa and swaths of infrastructure were washed away. This is horrific.
00:05:23.800I mean, this is before when it devastated back then, you didn't have all the debris falling around, you know, falling and creating havoc, you know, from other buildings and all that other stuff that was going on. This is huge.
00:05:42.940Are they still saying it's going to be a four? I've been driving all day, so I don't think I can't change it every five.
00:05:47.560They've been changing it quite a bit. I mean, I heard yesterday, okay, it dropped down to a three, then it went right back up to a five, and then I heard it went down to a four, and then it went back up to a five.
00:05:58.320I'm not sure what it is right this very minute, but at the minimum.
00:06:20.260The last one, they were so trying to get it to a four so they could sell generators that they didn't tell everybody about the damn rain in it.
00:06:27.340I was trying to tell everybody, I was predicted to get six inches.
00:06:30.400I got 38 inches, you know, 3,700 inches.
00:06:40.080I'm just hoping that everybody gets out okay and, you know, does what they need to do, that they've prepared for this, that they listen to Governor DeSantis, because this is horrific.
00:06:58.180He is doing the work for the people, and, you know, the more that you hear about what's going on in North Carolina and how FEMA has failed, and they have painted themselves now as being the victim, I mean, come on already.
00:07:27.200So my daughter, whose house got completely wiped out, she has no flood insurance, meets with a FEMA person, applies for everything she gets, doesn't get the $750 that Kamala says that she's supposed to get, gets approved for $300 for personal items.
00:08:31.820Secretary Mayorkas blames FEMA's critics for FEMA's failures, alleging misinformation, right, enemy number one to this group, is obstructing relief reaching victims.
00:08:47.940The shoe shopper, right, the men's shoe shopper that was there during when all of this was happening, he was out there buying luxury goods for himself, trying to improve his appearance.
00:08:58.400He's up here now claiming that he and their agencies are the actual real victims here.
00:09:05.220You want to talk about disinformation, misinformation.
00:09:10.260And this is important because there has been fear that this misinformation would be detrimental to those who are affected.
00:09:16.960And you're saying you are seeing evidence that these rumors are setting in and people are not seeking the aid that is available to them because of these false rumors?
00:09:30.260And I will tell you another negative impact of this deliberately false information.
00:09:35.980It is demoralizing to the men and women at the federal level, at the state and local level, who are actually risking their lives to save others and to bring much-needed relief to those who need it.
00:09:49.120And another hurricane bearing down right now.
00:09:52.960Secretary Mayorkas, thank you so much.
00:09:56.340Can you believe that he actually does that?
00:09:57.160You're going to believe that lying piece of crap or are you going to believe the thousands of videos coming from the people actually on the ground, actually losing their health in North Carolina?
00:10:06.340Well, that's really the decision that people themselves need to make on their own.
00:10:10.840I mean, are you going to listen to this echo chamber, right, this myth, you know, munt indoctrination where you've got propaganda news basically in a fishbowl reciting the same things over and over again?
00:10:24.120Are you going to believe the people that are there on the ground that with cameras and everything else using their phones to get the word out that people are trapped, that people are starving, and that people are not getting the supplies that they need?
00:10:37.560I'm not listening to these two ever, ever, ever, ever.
00:10:41.180I gave up mainstream media a long time ago.
00:10:43.640I think they are an absolute danger to themselves and to society as a whole, and they have proven it time and time again.
00:10:50.480I just, I cannot believe the audacity.
00:10:55.240I mean, this lie, he goes up under oath and says the border is secure while 15 million people poor, and he's a scumbag, lying piece of crap.
00:11:03.460FEMA completely failed North Carolina.
00:11:05.380They came there how many days late, and when they did, they stopped everybody from actually doing anything.
00:11:14.720There's literally every single video you watch, they say the same thing.
00:11:18.620The people in the houses, the people who lost their houses, the people needing food, the people trapped, they all say the same thing, and it's the opposite of what this guy says.
00:11:28.160And that's why they have to eventually, that's why they're going to shut down X and arrest Elon if they get arrested.
00:11:33.980Because they cannot have the people getting out and telling the truth.
00:11:37.200They want to step in, the government, and tell you what's going on and control the whole situation and then lie to you about what's going on.
00:12:51.780What they wanted to do, when you start looking at it, is they thought that if they stayed on his good side, then they were going to be able to control the platform X.
00:13:01.560But if you've ever heard Elon Musk speak, he's not influenced by them or anybody else.
00:19:04.920This is who they are just trotting out and they're saying, okay, do a trick for everybody and they will forget all of the dumb things that you say.
00:19:11.360But then the next second happens and she's saying the exact same thing but worse.
00:26:08.560He could care less about your fancy hoo-ha, elitist snobbery.
00:26:12.020Right, so they're having, you know, regret on how they handled this whole thing, and if you think that they're not interested in influencers, that is where their focus has been.
00:26:22.820They really think that they can throw all of these money, all this money at these people, and somehow, miraculously, everybody is going to believe that the emperor has clothes.
00:26:40.940That's how important they think their parties are, not that he completely can seize the big picture, like everybody listening to this audience, like we can, completely honestly see exactly what's going on, see the big picture, see the country's going down the drain, see they're using lawfare, they're opening the border, they're destroying the Constitution.
00:27:14.960And they're so shallow, they think, because they didn't invite him to one of their snob fests, that that's the reason he's going, you didn't invite me to the snob fest?
00:27:22.860I don't really care about the country and the communism and the debt or anything.
00:27:28.080I just was personally offended I didn't get to go to your snob fest.
00:27:34.120Well, they really are, but here's the thing, and we've been talking about this for quite some time, and about how this new party is emerging, and it's really true.
00:27:43.840And I love when people say that this is not the party, the Democrats, that that is not the party of JFK.
00:27:51.600Well, the one that is emerging certainly looks like it.
00:27:54.920It definitely is, but it's the party of Trump.
00:27:57.540So you can hang anything that you want on it, but when it comes to a nice, even balance, that's what you're getting with this new party.
00:28:05.320And Elon Musk is all about trying to come up with ways, innovative ideas, and ways of getting this country back on track.
00:28:13.500He knows that we're headed towards bankruptcy as a country.
00:28:17.880Everybody sees the writing on the wall.
00:28:20.620You can take California as a miniature example and say, all right, here they're promising all of these things, right?
00:28:27.820I mean, reparations and everything else, but they can't fund them.
00:28:32.000Nobody can get any money out of it because my state is broke.
00:28:52.380But if you think that the influencers are really helping, this is hilarious.
00:28:56.800All right, so you've got iMeme, therefore I am, big fan of that account, at iMemo.
00:29:02.240Podcaster revealed that nearly 2 million of her TikTok followers, that the Democrat Party, they offered her almost 15,000 and is paying thousands of dollars to other social media creators to promote the party and influence votes for Kamala.
00:29:36.000Did you guys know that the Democratic Party is paying people on TikTok thousands and thousands of dollars to make videos talking about how awesome the Democratic Party is?
00:29:44.320I know, because they've offered me nearly $15,000 to do just that, to try to take attention away from that old genocide thing.
00:29:51.580And I also know because I've unfortunately had to follow Mutuals, who started posting content suspiciously in line with the pitches I received to do just that within around 48 hours of me receiving those pitches.
00:30:02.640And suspiciously, nobody is disclosing on TikTok that they are getting paid to make videos just like this.
00:30:07.780So, since nobody wants to tell you the Democrats are paying them thousands of dollars to talk about how awesome the Democrats are, I'm going to tell you, you guys should be aware that when you see videos like that, the Democrats are actively paying people to talk about how awesome the Democrats are.
00:30:19.960I've received two pitches so far to date.
00:30:22.800I received one that was to make ongoing videos monthly leading up to the election.
00:30:26.280And I received another one that was to fearmonger specifically about Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.
00:30:31.020If you follow me, if you listen to my podcast, you know I have four hours of content talking about the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, okay?
00:30:39.760But I resent the way that the Democrats are trying to fearmonger like it's something new and some unique horror you need to be terrified of in order to coerce you into voting for them with bad information.
00:30:50.540The Heritage Foundation has been ass since it was incepted in the 1970s and Project 2025 is just the newest name for the Mandate for Leadership, which is their document that comes out every single election cycle in Haas since 1980.
00:31:01.420Which President Trump has distanced himself from completely.
00:31:05.800Well, I mean, why should he have to? It has nothing to do with him.
00:31:10.040It has nothing to do with his platform at all.
00:31:11.900I mean, just keep repeating it because Democrats are a bunch of damn liars.
00:31:14.520See, they call Trump a liar, but Trump's the opposite. Trump's painfully truthful.
00:31:20.100And the reason a lot of these people, oh, my God, they live in this woke, liberal shelter their whole lives.
00:31:26.980And when somebody comes out and acts like a normal person, the way all of us talk, and just is truthful, painfully truthful, they go, oh, my God.
00:31:34.320God, this guy's a racist and misogynist and everything is.
00:31:40.640You know what the latest talking point is now?
00:31:42.800Okay, all my friends that used to be political on the Democrat side or on the liberal side, what have you, that had memorized every single word that they could memorize, right, from CNN and MSNBC, those were their talking points.
00:31:54.140And we could, of course, debunk them left, right, and center all day long.
00:36:10.180And then they've got all of this stuff dialed in.
00:36:13.560And yet the party of screaming about democracy wasn't even involved in select and hasn't been for years now, for more than one, more than two election cycles.
00:36:26.040There have been three where their voice has not even been heard, where they're installing people to run.
00:36:34.840How can you scream about democracy in a situation like that?
00:36:47.080Trust and safety is becoming a key driver of customer experience, influencing how users engage, how safe they feel, and ultimately how likely they are to return.
00:36:58.040Because I don't know about you, but if I've had too many bad experiences on a platform, I'm definitely not rushing back for more.
00:37:05.080This is the intersection we're here to explore today.
00:37:07.820Tap to keep listening to how trust and safety redefined CX for brands like TikTok, Trustpilot, and more.
00:40:41.740I mean, this whole story here, the fact that you had Tahiti plan to liquidate his assets,
00:40:48.980and he was going to put out a terrorist attack, you know, because people were voting.
00:40:55.020This was his alleged plot targeting large gatherings of people partnering with an unnamed juvenile.
00:41:02.800We sound like we're in the Middle East, like we've got martyrs that are here in our country that, I mean, you remember the whole thing with Obama.
00:41:15.340There was a beheading every single week.
00:41:28.760So with the additional steps I ordered last month, we're speeding up training of ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar province.
00:41:37.360This month, we're speeding up training of ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar province.
00:42:54.660I wish we could just, you know, we could multiply and have a lot of Harmeets in every single state all around the country because the work that she does is incredible.
00:43:05.360So his new appointment, President Trump's new appointment of Harmeet Dillon as the new legal counsel in Arizona, she will spearhead critical legal battles, stop the many attacks on integrity of our elections, and lead the winning election integrity team to protect the vote.
00:43:58.260And we certainly don't want this for the rest of the country, but what's so wonderful is as the rest of the country changes, California hopefully will too.
00:44:10.880If they were just going to put some in there, they should have put Gavin Newsom because as much of an evil person he is, at least he can talk.
00:44:39.300They give her, she walks around all day, and they give her a script, and they put actors around her, and she still looks like a bubbling idiot.
00:44:46.900All she has to do is read a script like a damn actor.
00:44:50.560Yes, but Kat, she's a woman, don't you know?
00:44:56.480I mean, that's all that really matters anyway.
00:44:58.900In fact, you've got a, well, according to liberals, not to me, but there was a, the chancellor of the school has been notified.
00:45:09.740There was a horrible story that came out, and, you know, a lot of people were talking about the fact that this particular professor was out there doing all of these things.
00:45:20.740He's, like, basically saying anybody that voted for somebody or didn't vote for somebody because she was a woman should be shot.
00:45:49.120There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president.
00:46:00.240We could line all those guys up and shoot them.
00:46:02.060They clearly don't understand the way the world works.
00:47:07.340Between Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, do you really think that people are going to like Kamala more than they liked Hillary Clinton?
00:47:15.440I had people that were just totally—they just assumed that I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton because, of course, you know, they tried to prop her up on a pedestal like she was the ideal woman, and she's not.
00:47:29.420As soon as you say, I'm not voting for her just because she's a woman, I want to see what her policies are.
00:47:34.480Just like in this case, they didn't have any.
00:47:37.180The Democrat Party are not offering policies to make your lives better.
00:47:46.400They did it with Hillary, and they are now doing it with Kamala.
00:47:49.500They don't even feel like you need to know what they're going to do for this country because they're not going to do anything, quite frankly.
00:47:55.740I mean, Kamala Harris was completely—he tried to give her an out.
00:48:00.100Colbert tried to give her an out and asked the exact same question again.
00:48:04.160You know, if you could do anything differently, what would it be that you do?
00:48:08.940And she's basically saying the exact same thing.
