00:00:37.000Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:38.000Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:40.000I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:44.000Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:47.000I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy.
00:00:49.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:35.000It is probably too late to evacuate Tampa is what I'm told, which is too bad because a lot of people should have.
00:01:42.000This storm is intensifying and I don't really even know what to say anymore than hunkered out because I know a lot of people are trying to get out and they can't get out and it's probably too dangerous right now at this point to get out because you could get stuck as a stranded duck as the storm Who knows how bad this is going to be.
00:02:03.000It's Category 4. They're saying this is the storm of the century.
00:02:06.000They're saying that Tampa is the most vulnerable location in all of Florida right now.
00:03:48.000Just give us kind of some On the ground, Florida wisdom here of what we can expect and what's going on.
00:03:55.000So right now we're seeing that the hurricane is speeding up.
00:03:58.000It's going to make landfall more quickly than we'd expected.
00:04:01.000That can happen. That's why our state and local officials have been giving out precise evacuation warnings.
00:04:07.000The key message I'm really grateful to be able to share on your platform is that the Pensacola Bay Center is open and free and pet friendly.
00:04:15.000And so as people from the peninsula have been pushed north, if they're in a situation where maybe the hotels are full or they don't have the resources for a hotel, we'd invite you to come to Pensacola.
00:04:26.000We've got cots, we've got food and a pet-friendly environment and a safe environment for people fleeing the storm.
00:04:33.000You know, we've seen Governor DeSantis ensure that we got effective debris removal, and that's so key in a time like this because you've got to get the branches out of the power lines and off the roads for emergency responders to be able to help people.
00:04:47.000And I think what we've really seen is a tale of two responses.
00:04:51.000In North Carolina, There has been a slow response.
00:04:54.000There's been frustration of the efforts that citizens have tried to do to help their fellow neighbors.
00:05:01.000And in Florida, you see just the opposite.
00:05:03.000The government working very closely with people, folks doing all the preparation in advance, getting out of the low-lying areas.
00:05:11.000And still this is going to be a very deadly storm, but I think we've We've put ourselves in the best possible position given the circumstances.
00:05:17.000Yeah, I mean, put this in historic terms.
00:05:19.000I mean, we're told that, you know, the cresting of the wave could be upwards of 10 to 15 feet.
00:05:24.000I mean, Matt, that means that if you just have a single family home, even your first floor might not make it and the whole house could collapse.
00:05:34.000A 15-foot storm surge doesn't mean that there'll be waves that can be 15 feet high.
00:05:39.000It means everything that isn't 16 feet above sea level is going to be underwater.
00:05:45.000And so we've got a lot of bayou systems, estuaries in this area, where that storm surge is going to push into people's homes, potentially over people's homes.
00:05:54.000That's why getting out of those low-lying areas is the most important thing.
00:05:59.000But we're also seeing something happen with the storm where it's getting a lot larger.
00:06:02.000When this was a Category 5, it did not have the same diameter.
00:06:08.000But on the west coast of Florida, we have a continental shelf that extends out more than 100 miles.
00:06:14.000And so it has a tendency to bring down the strength of the storm, but to increase the overall size of the storm.
00:06:22.000That's why if this thing we're approaching on the Atlantic side, it would likely be strengthening all the way to landfall and drawing smaller.
00:06:29.000Here, we see it moving to a Category 3, likely.
00:06:32.000But we're seeing tornadoes right now in Fort Lauderdale area, for example, just given how far the arms are extending.
00:06:41.000Yeah, and again, at this point, is it correct, Matt, to say, again, I'm such a layman here.
00:06:46.000I live in the desert. It's just hot and sunny.
00:06:49.000So, again, I know very little about this.
00:06:51.000Is it too late for people to evacuate?
00:06:54.000Should we no longer call for evacuation?
00:06:58.000Yeah, the best decisions there people are going to get from their county governments.
00:07:03.000Every county in Florida has an emergency operations center.
00:07:07.000And they give real-time advice not only based on where the storm is heading and its speed, which has changed, it's making landfall sooner, but also based on what's happening on the roadways.
00:07:18.000And so on X, you can follow at F-L-S-E-R-T. That's our state system.
00:07:23.000They're sharing a lot of those real-time updates for people where, you know, you can make those decisions that are right for your family.
00:07:32.000What I can say is, like, right now, I think there is still time.
00:07:35.000If you're in one of those really coastal areas where you've experienced a lot of water, the ground has been wet as a consequence of the arms of Hurricane Helene, which was just days ago, really.
00:07:47.000And if you're inland sufficiently 10, 20 miles, your local government may be sharing different information.
00:07:54.000So that's probably the best way for folks to get that intel.
00:07:57.000Yeah, and then once the storm passes, I want everyone to step up and help our fellow American.
00:08:05.000The Federal Emergency Management Agency, do you have a thought on FEMA, Matt, on what we've been seeing in North Carolina?
00:08:13.000Because to Florida's credit, though, you guys have always kind of done this yourself, right?
00:08:19.000Is that a correct summary of the Florida infrastructure?
00:08:23.000In Florida, our disasters are federally funded, state coordinated, and then locally executed and managed.
00:08:30.000That system has given us great muscle memory in how we deal with this, and it really keeps the decision-making out of Washington and more right there on the ground.
00:08:39.000And I wouldn't expect the folks in Western North Carolina to have the same muscle memory on something like this.
00:08:45.000They're better at driving on ice than we are, right?
00:08:48.000So this is the nature of different climates and different geographies in different places.
00:08:53.000What I'm troubled by are the stories that we've been hearing from people who work at FEMA and who are in the National Guard about how the mobilization has not resulted in better care for the people.
00:09:06.000I'm getting information, just got another one in the last 24 hours, Where FEMA employees are saying, we are being mobilized, we're being brought to the affected areas, but then we aren't given orders about whether or not to set up a soup kitchen or clear a roadway or assist with some local enterprise to keep people safe.
00:09:24.000And then when folks are engaged in that good neighborly conduct, At times, the bureaucracy is actually impairing the delivery of water and diapers and other essentials.
00:09:37.000Also, it seems like FEMA is both out of money and flush with cash at the same time in a really weird way.
00:09:44.000This $640 million that under the Department of Homeland Security, under FEMA, was preserved for housing assistance.
00:09:52.000So housing assistance under FEMA Almost any reasonable person would think would be available for Americans who are displaced from their houses in a time of disaster, but that has been used on illegal immigrants.
00:10:06.000And so Mayorkas throws his hands in the air and says, we're going to be running out of money.
00:10:09.000At the same time, there's over $7 billion in FEMA accounts for disasters that have been continually extended at times from like 16 years ago, Charlie.
00:10:52.000Soon it will be time for us to step up and help our fellow American, but right now it's to hunker down.
00:10:58.000Are you ready to lose weight but not sure where to start?
00:11:00.000I understand. I was right where you are two years ago.
00:11:02.000Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program.
00:11:06.000First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:11:10.000Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:11:13.000Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition.
00:11:15.000There is so much more. They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.
00:11:21.000There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections.
00:11:23.000Just solid, science-based nutrition and behavior change.
00:11:26.000And finally, a probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
00:11:28.000Look, they're amazing. If you want to lose weight, you've got to go to myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:32.000I was just texting with Dr. Ash Lucas today.
00:11:34.000If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.
00:12:11.000Joining us now is Christina Buttons, author of a very important piece, A Troubled Place, all about what's happening with the surge of Haitians into our country.
00:12:34.000The population was something over 4,000 residents in 2020.
00:12:40.000And then over the last few years, they've recently seen a Approximately like 2,000 predominantly Haitian migrants that moved in and sort of have established themselves with the help of local employers and nonprofits that the Biden administration has provided significant public funding to.
00:13:06.000Okay, so I want to just play a piece of tape here of the kind of Pennsylvania town that's being overrun here.
00:13:12.000Let's play Cut 91. There's so many people and there's just not enough resources, there's not enough jobs, there's not enough homes.
00:13:20.000She's glad Trump, who she supports, has been calling attention to Charleroi and Springfield.
00:13:25.000People need to know that it's just not Springfield.
00:13:56.000Similar to what's happening in Springfield, a lot of the same complaints about lack of assimilation and car crashes into buildings.
00:14:07.000The schools are strained for resources and are in need of hiring many workers.
00:14:16.000English is the second language interpreters to be able to accommodate so many Haitian children.
00:14:24.000But it's very similar to what's happening in Springfield and many cities across the country that have recently seen an influx of migrants into their towns.
00:14:40.000Your piece uncovers a confluence of open border policies, NGOs and private businesses conspiring to overwhelm a once sleepy town.
00:14:46.000Tell us about it. Well, there are about 10 sort of national resettlement agencies that partner with the U.S. government.
00:14:56.000And between them, they have about 340 local athletes across the country that work to settle And since 2021, they've received just these 10 organizations have received around like $5.5 billion in new awards.
00:15:13.000That's not including how much money they've received total, but just in new awards under the Biden administration.
00:15:22.000And the organization of focus in Charleroi is an organization called the Jewish Family and Community Services Pittsburgh which began sort of traveling to Charleroi weekly for the past year and a half and they insist immigrants there in signing up for welfare programs like SNAP and Medicaid, financial assistance, things like that.
00:15:51.000But other stuff, I had spoken with a staffing agency that said that they regularly partner with nonprofits to help sort of procure immigrant labor for their workforce.
00:16:03.000In this case, this particular organization denies involvement in Sort of the situation in Charleroi with going on with the employers that was sort of the focus of our investigation.
00:16:20.000Sorry. Yeah, JFCS Pittsburgh reported about $12.5 million in 2023.
00:16:28.000But these organizations that deal with immigration, they've received substantially more money under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration.
00:18:17.000Who in the government would you say...
00:18:22.000Well, in this particular instance in Charleroi, a lot of the immigrants have come through the CHNV Parole Program.
00:18:32.000It's the Cuban-Haitian-Nicaraguan-Venezuelan Parole Program.
00:18:37.000In that particular program, they had to have sort of sponsors in the United States, but these sponsors themselves can be recent immigrants.
00:18:47.000So as long as they had kind of like a U.S. address, they were able to pretty much come to the United States after some background checking.
00:18:57.000And a lot of them wound up in Charleroi through word of mouth.
00:19:03.000That's what it sort of appears to be the case because there's this...
00:19:07.000A food manufacturer that hires a significant amount of migrants for his workforce.
00:19:16.000Like approximately 700 employees of the 1,000 employees that work at this facility are immigrant labor hired through these staffing agencies that you see busing people around the town.
00:19:32.000The footage from America to 100 captured.
00:19:37.000How can people find out more from your work, Christina?
00:19:40.000I typically write for City Journal and I have additional reporting coming out with Chris Rufo in the coming weeks.
00:19:51.000We have an interview that we did with a Haitian migrant who worked for this employer.
00:19:58.000That has been sort of like bringing in all of these immigrants and housing them, evicting residents in order to house some of the migrant workforce.
00:20:11.000So we have an interview coming out this week with him that will provide more context and more details on the situation in Charleroi.
00:20:25.000Okay, I want to play a piece of tape here from the Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview, where she was asked about her immigration policies, which tied directly into Charlotte, Pennsylvania.
00:21:52.000They are coming in through the CBP1 app.
00:21:55.000You don't need Congress. You could fix the entire thing with executive authority.
00:21:59.000But they don't care about the country.
00:22:04.000Kamala Harris and Joe Biden do not have a concern for the well-being of the citizens.
00:22:07.000They care far more about the sensitivities and the feelings of the Mexican government than the actual needs, wants, and concerns of the body politic of the nation.
00:23:50.000Let me tell you about a text message I just got from our Turning Point Action team.
00:23:53.000Just so you guys know, right now, at Turning Point Action, we have hundreds of full-time people now working the Valley because ballots are out.
00:25:58.000The joy has turned into nastiness, vitriol, venom, and they're sending Kamala Harris on this media circuit because what a candidate does is a lagging indicator of the data they're receiving.
00:26:13.000Let me say that again. What a candidate does is a lagging indicator of the data that they're receiving, meaning they receive data and then they act based on that data, especially if they are a Democrat, especially if it's Kamala Harris.
00:26:29.000So Kamala Harris did a 60 Minutes interview that was a complete disaster.
00:26:33.000She did the sex podcast, the Call Her Daddy.
00:26:38.000It's hard to even pinpoint all of these pieces of tape, but the one that I want to talk about here is Is Charlemagne, who is a black host in New York, talking about how nuts it is that Kamala Harris was supporting taxpayer-funded surgeries on prisoners and illegals.
00:27:04.000It shows that the more people learn about Kamala Harris, this is why her numbers are nosediving with independents.
00:27:10.000Playcut54. That ad they was running during the football games this weekend claiming the vice president supports funding gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the U.S.? That was nuts.
00:27:20.000I don't know if it was the backdrop of football.
00:27:26.000But when you hear the narrator say Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners, that one line, I was like, hell no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that.
00:27:34.000I definitely see that. That ad was effective.
00:27:36.000Kamala took a picture with a transgender.
00:27:38.000This is what they were saying, that it made it seem like Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our money.
00:31:09.000I mean, look at that. Students, as far as the eye can see, on the liberal campus of University of Nevada, Reno, we again ran out of MAGA hats.
00:31:22.000We have a serious problem. We cannot bring enough MAGA hats without running out.
00:31:27.000Today, we are doing six Superchase events.
00:31:32.000A Superchase event is where we gather people from around the neighborhood, rally you a little bit, fire you up, and then all of the people that go to Superchase events, we say, every single one, go chase 10 ballots.
00:31:41.000So if 100 people show up to a Superchase event, 10 ballots apiece, that's 1,000 votes.
00:31:48.000If 1,000 people show up, 10,000 votes.
00:31:52.000So the key is that you have to go do the work yourself.
00:31:59.000It's not enough to hope that this thing just ends up working.
00:32:02.000And not all of you are going to be able to work as hard as we're working at Turning Point Action.
00:33:58.000This is the fourth quarter, everybody. Fourth quarter, fourth quarter, fourth quarter.
00:34:02.000Time to sprint. This is the calendar of all of our Superchase events in Arizona over the next month.
00:34:09.000And this is just the icing on the cake of our core Chase program.
00:34:13.000Next week, next Tuesday, I will be at Northern Arizona University.
00:34:17.000Next Wednesday, I want to make sure I get this right.
00:34:20.000Yeah, that's right. Next Wednesday, I will be on campus at the University of Arizona in Tucson with a very special guest and then an evening event.
00:34:29.000Next Thursday, I will be on campus at Arizona State University with a special event in the evening with Donald Trump Jr.
