00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:39.540 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.260 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:49.780 The reason why those Americans in North Carolina were left to die, were left on rooftops, begging,

00:00:58.060 begging their government for help that never came, is because Kamala Harris turned FEMA into 0.98

00:01:04.280 an illegal alien resettlement agency.

00:01:07.020 FEMA is tremendously prepared.

00:01:09.720 This is what we do.

00:01:11.180 We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have.

00:01:16.600 We do not have the funds.

00:01:18.120 FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.

00:01:21.680 The Harris-Biden administration says they don't have any money.

00:01:26.360 They've spent it all on, they spent all of their money, they have almost no money, because

00:01:31.840 they spent it all on illegal migrants.

00:01:34.040 Across the South this morning, the raging floodwaters may have faded, but the fallout from

00:01:39.840 historic levels of rain and violent winds have left communities from Georgia to North Carolina

00:01:45.120 virtually unlivable.

00:01:46.720 Last night, somebody was at the river and saw Halloween costumes floating down our river.

00:01:58.140 And then she saw faces and realized they weren't costumes.

00:02:08.460 You see these pictures of husbands and wives and children who have lost everything.

00:02:13.160 And what does Kamala do? 1.00

00:02:14.160 She comes out and offers $750.

00:02:17.160 Look on this bridge and see what's left, more or less what's left of my house.

00:02:20.960 There's people still stranded.

00:02:22.100 I hope that the government or the state or somebody realizes that these small communities,

00:02:29.360 small towns, need to be taken care of as much as people in Asheville or Augusta, Georgia.

00:02:35.160 It seems like they're getting the benefits and we're getting the leftovers.

00:02:39.880 I'm so proud of my son because in his last moments, he wasn't screaming for me.

00:02:44.160 He was screaming, Jesus, Jesus, save me.

00:02:48.100 Jesus, I hear you.

00:02:49.300 Jesus, I'm calling upon you.

00:02:51.300 And his wildest dreams and everything that he wanted to be was a superhero.

00:02:56.040 And that was his goal in life.

00:02:57.880 And instead, he's my hero.

00:02:59.940 Jack Cook back live here at Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:03:04.420 We are live today.

00:03:05.880 It's October 4, 2024.

00:03:07.460 N.O.

00:03:08.040 Domini.

00:03:09.280 The Forgotten Souls of Appalachia.

00:03:12.380 Well, we haven't forgotten them.

00:03:14.060 And we are going to keep this story and keep this devastation and keep the disaster front

00:03:21.020 and foremost.

00:03:21.560 And we're going to look at ways to help, by the way.

00:03:23.540 We're not just clickbaiting here.

00:03:25.400 We want to look.

00:03:25.960 And we've been talking all week to folks from the area.

00:03:29.100 We're going to be doing that today with Mayor Glenn Jacobs from eastern Tennessee.

00:03:33.220 And he's going to be talking all about ways that we can help and fundraisers.

00:03:38.340 But there's so many questions.

00:03:40.600 Kamala Harris back when Puerto Rico had a hurricane during President Trump's administration.

00:03:47.760 My gosh, you should have seen her energy.

00:03:50.320 Screaming.

00:03:51.580 Stamping her feet.

00:03:53.200 Tweeting like crazy about the hurricane.

00:03:55.700 Why won't our government get assistance to these people?

00:03:58.920 Why is our government abandon these people?

00:04:01.700 But when it's Appalachia, eh.

00:04:04.080 Here's a check.

00:04:05.440 750 bucks.

00:04:07.080 Cover a couple of nights at a hotel, maybe.

00:04:09.340 Have fun.

00:04:10.960 Best of luck on your future endeavors.

00:04:12.660 See you later.

00:04:14.340 I got other stuff to do.

00:04:16.000 Tim Walls.

00:04:16.520 I haven't seen him there.

00:04:18.200 What's going on?

00:04:19.700 Why isn't our government and the media, the regime, the establishment focused on this?

00:04:26.720 Why?

00:04:28.040 We have a lot of questions.

00:04:29.600 What we don't have are a lot of answers.

00:04:31.380 What I would like to say, though, is that late yesterday,

00:04:36.500 saw a video posted up 82nd Airborne finally getting involved.

00:04:41.260 And it was after human events and this audience put pressure on the administration,

00:04:46.980 they finally, finally spun up 1,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne.

00:04:52.900 We're told that they're going to be heading over for supplies right now.

00:04:56.340 But the question is, why weren't you there in the first week when you could have been doing

00:05:01.260 search and rescue operations?

00:05:03.100 Why wasn't that order signed that very night?

00:05:06.520 This is what the 82nd Airborne is for.

00:05:08.500 You waited a week.

00:05:09.920 Guess what?

00:05:10.920 The people are already drowned.

00:05:13.780 The bodies are already in the water.

00:05:17.180 It's too late for search and rescue.

00:05:19.520 That's why we're hearing many of these operations are now returned to recovery.

00:05:25.580 That's why cadaver dogs are being sent out now because we haven't seen the order signed

00:05:32.460 early enough.

00:05:34.040 So, okay, I'm glad that they're now and I hope that they're able to help.

00:05:37.960 But these people, the people of Appalachia, they get overlooked because they represent a

00:05:44.560 problem because they're the wrong skin color. 0.99

00:05:47.120 By the way, you notice the rescuers, they're all the wrong gender too. 0.99

00:05:50.760 Not much diversity among the rescuers.

00:05:52.860 Why is that?

00:05:53.500 Are we allowed to talk about it?

00:05:54.740 Oh, I guess not.

00:05:56.380 I guess not.

00:05:57.500 Stay tuned, folks.

00:05:58.260 We'll be right back.

00:05:58.940 Huge show today.

00:05:59.700 We're talking election and hurricane disaster response.

00:06:03.000 Human Events continues.

00:06:07.960 You know, they talk about influencers.

00:06:13.300 These are influencers and they're friends of mine, Jack Posobiec.

00:06:19.020 Where's Jack?

00:06:20.000 Jack.

00:06:20.940 He's done a great job.

00:06:24.320 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live, Human Events Daily, here in Washington, D.C.

00:06:30.120 Just a couple of weeks ago, over 270 million social security numbers were hacked.

00:06:36.580 The government isn't going to help you protect your identity or your data.

00:06:42.040 You're going to have to help yourself.

00:07:25.600 By the way, I had a conversation about these the other day.

00:07:28.180 And I'll tell you for a fact that there were people who went to that DC rally, the Maha

00:07:32.920 rally that was held last week.

00:07:35.220 And they made sure to put their phones in a Faraday bag just in case any bad actors were

00:07:39.580 trying to go around and do some war driving, trying to suck down people's MZ numbers, people's 0.67

00:07:46.040 data, things like that.

00:07:47.500 Boom.

00:07:47.800 You throw it in there.

00:07:48.680 You're at a crowd like that.

00:07:49.860 Don't got to worry about it.

00:07:51.380 And we know that the feds always do that with these crowds in DC.

00:07:55.040 So you want to stay off the grid, slnt.com slash poso.

00:08:00.180 Someone who wants to get on the grid, though, is R.C.

00:08:03.960 Maxwell.

00:08:04.720 And he's joining us right now to talk about how we can get on the grid in states like

00:08:09.500 my beautiful and wonderful home state of Pennsylvania.

00:08:12.960 How's it going, R.C.?

00:08:14.080 It's going very well.

00:08:15.800 I'm glad to be on.

00:08:17.080 And I'm glad Pennsylvania is finally getting the focus it needs.

00:08:20.740 It's the apple of the election here in 2024.

00:08:23.100 It is the apple election.

00:08:25.680 And I've been saying the keystone is the key.

00:08:28.000 Pennsylvania, P.A. is the play.

00:08:30.440 And so people have to understand.

00:08:32.020 Walk us through, by the way, the math on that, because I know I keep saying it, but

00:08:36.920 people need to understand why is Pennsylvania so important?

00:08:41.400 Well, well, traditionally, Florida with their I can't remember exactly 30 plus electoral votes

00:08:46.420 was usually the swing state that both Democrats and Republicans vied for.

00:08:50.460 Now that Florida is firmly a Republican state, really, Pennsylvania is what's there that's

00:08:56.640 left.

00:08:57.320 When you have these states that, you know, make up 10 to 15 electoral votes, your North

00:09:01.760 Carolinas, your Arizonas, your Nevadas, those are great states to have.

00:09:05.620 Those are states that Trump's definitely vying for.

00:09:08.180 But then you have 20—Pennsylvania, excuse me, that's nearly double the mass of those states

00:09:13.140 when it comes to electoral votes.

00:09:14.580 And Republicans have normally always lost in Pennsylvania.

00:09:18.800 Pennsylvania has, since 1988, Democrats have always had a certain voter registration

00:09:24.940 advantage.

00:09:25.800 But 1988 was the time in which this data has been tracked.

00:09:30.100 And since data has been tracked, Republicans have made the most significant gains that they've

00:09:34.520 ever seen, according to the data.

00:09:36.420 So Pennsylvania is certainly in play.

00:09:39.060 Democrats are sweating.

00:09:40.000 And I think that's why you're seeing some of the odd messaging coming out from Kamala

00:09:45.080 Harris, this weird attempt to embrace fracking, this weird attempt to embrace rural values.

00:09:51.620 You have walls kind of being trounced out there like a white minstrel show, wearing camo hats,

00:09:57.160 even though we know that's not his personality at all.

00:09:59.900 So Pennsylvania is in play.

00:10:01.700 It's huge.

00:10:02.320 And the fact that we have 10 Airbnbs across the Commonwealth, you might think, is not that

00:10:08.900 big of a deal.

00:10:09.940 But it's a huge deal for us to have 120 full-time staffers in Pennsylvania solely working on

00:10:17.340 cutting into that disadvantage that Republicans have.

00:10:20.300 And then you have Scott Pressler, and you have Turning Point Action.

00:10:23.160 So you have a trifecta of operations trying to work to make Pennsylvania flip.

00:10:29.460 And I'm feeling really good about the Keystone State.

00:10:32.320 Well, I am as well.

00:10:34.220 And we had Cliff Maloney on yesterday who talked about how my brother is going to be getting

00:10:39.240 involved.

00:10:40.380 And just so for logistical purposes, Kevin and I are going to be flying in tonight to

00:10:46.400 the Pittsburgh area.

00:10:47.740 Then we're going to be heading up to Butler for the rally.

00:10:50.260 RC, you're going to be there tomorrow, right?

00:10:52.360 I sure am.

00:10:53.000 I'm taking a red eye, and I'll be up very, very early in the morning.

00:10:57.180 The Trump campaign is also all in on this strategy.

00:10:59.900 They're letting us set up tents.

00:11:01.400 They're letting us have access to outlets and everything, letting us bring in stuff across

00:11:06.640 past their Secret Service barrier there in order to engage the 60,000-plus rally-goers

00:11:13.280 we plan on seeing at this event.

00:11:15.060 And you might be wondering, well, these are people that are going to a Trump rally.

00:11:17.620 Surely they're already engaged.

00:11:19.740 You'd be surprised how many of these people are not on the early voting list, how many of

00:11:24.000 these people plan on waiting to vote until Election Day.

00:11:27.200 So that's what our operation is all about.

00:11:28.840 We're not just engaging independents.

00:11:30.900 We're engaging Republicans, trying to get them to vote early and trying to make sure

00:11:34.440 that they become force multipliers.

00:11:37.160 They do what they need to bug their sister, to bug your friend who you haven't talked to

00:11:42.080 in years.

00:11:42.840 Make sure they're registered to vote as well.

00:11:45.360 So that's the kind of things that we're doing to engage people at these Trump rallies, and

00:11:49.900 those efforts are significant.

00:11:51.500 Remember, Democrats only won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes.

00:11:56.220 Won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes.

00:11:58.800 You may not see my air quotes there.

00:12:00.740 But when you consider how slim a margin that was and how much that we've already gained

00:12:05.660 in voter registrations, we're in a good position.

00:12:08.680 But we're not going to sit here and start patting each other on our backs before the job

00:12:13.780 is done.

00:12:14.320 We have a lot of work to do here in the next 30-plus days until the election.

00:12:17.960 And that's why I plan on going to Pennsylvania myself three times, although I'm also here

00:12:23.360 working in another swing state in Arizona.

00:12:26.760 Well, I think that's huge because people need to understand that this has been since

00:12:32.100 2020.

00:12:32.860 So for the last four years, the Democrats have put mail-in ballots and put these operations

00:12:37.540 first and foremost in terms of their activity for GOTV.

00:12:42.200 So the Republicans have been behind the ball on this.

00:12:44.680 Now, Republicans traditionally, and you'll hear this from consultants.

00:12:48.040 That Republicans always were good at A.B. Chase before, that's absentee ballot chase.

00:12:53.160 But this is very different than absentee ballot chase because in Pennsylvania, for example,

00:12:58.720 there's no history, there's no culture of early voting.

00:13:02.340 It's just not something in the way there.

00:13:03.820 A lot of the Sun Belt, you see a lot of this, but in the Rust Belt, at least PA, there's

00:13:07.400 never been early voting before.

00:13:09.460 People vote on election day.

00:13:10.540 That's normal.

00:13:10.980 Now, Democrats, because they are herd mentality and they have the hive mind that when you tell

00:13:16.860 them, vote by mail, OK, they all do it because that's exactly how they're wired.

00:13:20.800 With Republicans, we do tend to be a little bit more independent minded.

00:13:24.460 That comes with the territory.

00:13:26.060 And so for a lot of people, it's having to shift that culture and having to shift that

00:13:29.920 mindset away.

00:13:30.900 But what I keep telling people, R.C., is that, hey, man, my mom already voted.

00:13:34.760 My mom voted before you in PA.

00:13:36.700 So guess what?

00:13:37.480 If my mom's already voted for you, then what are you going to do?

00:13:40.240 Because she already voted for you.

00:13:41.660 So you're behind the ball because you know who voted before you?

00:13:44.680 My mom.

00:13:45.640 In fact, she voted before me, too, which is very annoying.

00:13:48.500 Well, look, you know, everyone in your family is locked in.

00:13:50.920 I'm not surprised that your mom's voted this early.

00:13:53.840 But what a gift it is to be at the doors and tell people, hey, you can go and vote right

00:13:59.020 now.

00:13:59.640 That effort is just so important.

00:14:01.960 You talk about the hive mind of Democrats.

00:14:03.560 It's not just that.

00:14:05.120 Some of these ballot chasing Democrats quite literally dangle food banks and like access

00:14:11.260 to like bread and pasta in order.

00:14:14.540 But before you can get that, please make sure you sign up and make sure you're registered

00:14:18.240 to vote and make sure you turn that ballot in.

00:14:20.520 Obviously, exchanging goods for a vote is illegal.

00:14:23.740 But Democrats have a way of verbalizing and articulating that.

00:14:28.380 And you may be shocked to hear this.

00:14:29.780 Democrats are quite literally dangling food in front of poor people in order to get

00:14:34.720 them to vote.

00:14:35.680 They've done this historically in North Carolina.

00:14:37.720 The A. 0.58

00:14:38.040 Philip Randolph organization is an organization known for doing this.

00:14:42.680 So in order to combat that, Jack, yes, we have to be energetic.

00:14:46.480 We have to convince these folks that it's OK even to use a dropbox if that's if that's

00:14:51.520 what's going to get you to the polls easier.

00:14:53.340 A lot of these voters are elderly.

00:14:55.620 They have younger liberal family members who take their ballot to the polls for them.

00:15:01.220 And that ballot never makes it in.

00:15:02.800 So that's how important it is to have a full time paid staffer to engage, to build relationships

00:15:09.260 with these people and to constantly check in.

00:15:11.780 And the Democrats are scared.

00:15:14.200 They're fearful because they know that we have this not only in Pennsylvania, but in

00:15:18.360 Wisconsin and in Arizona as well.

00:15:20.420 So a lot of these states that are purple states that are traditionally going to go used to going

00:15:25.900 blue, you're going to see a lot of upset Democrats on election night and the day after

00:15:30.980 because that's how long it's going to take to process some of these ballot requests.

00:15:34.760 And I even saw that Barack Obama is now being activated.

00:15:40.560 They're getting Barrio off the couch and they're getting him involved.

00:15:44.180 In fact, I was at the very last rally in 2016 for Hillary Clinton, which was I think Biden

00:15:50.680 was there as well.

00:15:51.880 But it was both Obama's Michelle and Barack, then Bill and Hillary and the Bidens.

00:15:57.840 And it was just a who's who of the Democrat Party upstate.

00:16:02.660 And guess where they were?

00:16:03.560 They were in Philadelphia.

00:16:05.640 Elon Musk just spent the day in Philadelphia.

00:16:08.420 Now he's in now.

00:16:09.180 I think he's still in Philadelphia, actually.

00:16:11.500 And he's just announced that he's going to be traveling to the Butler rally tomorrow.

00:16:15.460 There's kind of it's kind of got this Woodstock vibe to it, which is which is good.

00:16:19.300 And we need that.

00:16:20.360 But also, you know, obviously, with the the understanding of what went on there on July 13th.

00:16:25.380 But with what you're saying, this is key.

00:16:27.460 And that's why we had you on today, because it's not just about commemorating J13.

00:16:31.960 We're going to do that.

00:16:33.280 And believe me, myself and Joshua Lysak is flying out.

00:16:36.320 So we're going to get to the bottom of everything that happened that day.

00:16:38.980 But it's also a key strategic part of the potentially most key state for this entire election.

00:16:46.500 Arcee, in our last minute, let people know how they can get involved.

00:16:49.440 And by the way, if they're remote, how can they get involved that way, too?

00:16:53.560 Look, you should certainly sign up to be a volunteer for Turning Point Action.

00:16:57.120 You can visit turningpointaction.com slash volunteers.

00:17:00.080 I also ask you to visit the phase.com.

00:17:03.100 We're still looking for volunteers to chase ballots.

00:17:05.720 You know, once you vote, the best thing you can do is sign up to chase another 20 ballots.

00:17:10.600 That's how you can become a force multiplier.

00:17:12.900 And Early Vote Action is also still paying people.

00:17:15.820 There are still jobs out there this late.

00:17:17.700 If you want to get paid for your volunteer work, you can do that with Early Vote Action.

00:17:21.560 Please visit their website, earlyvoteaction.com.

00:17:24.620 It is a trifecta effort in Pennsylvania.

00:17:27.300 It's all hands on deck, not just in some of these areas like Bucks County and Pittsburgh,

00:17:32.260 but we're also in Philly.

00:17:33.880 We're engaging the black community in Philly.

00:17:35.520 We're doing all we can.

00:17:36.820 So please take a look at those organizations, the PHAs, and take a look at what's going to happen.

00:17:42.480 By the way, I'm not going to throw numbers out there, but the pay is pretty good.

00:17:47.160 I actually, I got some of that data.

00:17:48.780 The pay is actually pretty decent.

00:17:50.340 I was like, hold on.

00:17:51.300 I might have to start knocking doors and knock off the show.

00:17:53.460 I don't know.

00:17:54.280 All right, RC Maxwell, thanks so much, man.

00:17:55.920 I'll see you tomorrow.

00:17:56.680 And then coming up next, we've got Glenn Jacobs, mayor of Knoxville County, coming on from

00:18:01.900 East Tennessee.

00:18:08.640 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:18:12.920 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:18:17.880 All right, now, ladies and gentlemen, you don't need to tell me.

00:18:20.100 You don't need me to tell you that life is precious.

00:18:25.320 That could all get taken away in an instant.

00:18:28.020 And we've seen that this week.

00:18:30.220 That's why I keep my four-week emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply in my home.

00:18:35.980 You know what else I do?

00:18:36.900 Keep one of my car right in the trunk.

00:18:38.740 It's got everything my family could need during a crisis.

00:18:41.600 And we're seeing that right now on the ground.

00:18:43.780 With over 2,000 calories a day, there's enough to go around during times of social unrest,

00:18:49.700 government crackdowns, or God forbid, an attack on the homeland, and like we're seeing now,

00:18:53.900 natural disasters.

00:18:55.320 The food lasts up to 25 years, ready whenever disaster strikes.

00:19:00.580 We've seen mass panic in our lifetimes before, somewhere not that long ago.

00:19:05.600 I'm not going to take my family's safety for granted anymore.

00:19:09.300 Right now, you can get $50 off the same four-week emergency food kit that I keep in my home and in my car.

00:19:16.180 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com and save $50 on your four-week emergency food kit,

00:19:21.340 and My Patriot Supply will send it over as fast as humanly possible.

00:19:25.080 Trust me, I know, because my order showed up in just one day, and it shipped free.

00:19:29.160 Get your four-week emergency food kit now at MyPatriotSupply.com, MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:19:34.700 And, of course, we had Joe Rico on yesterday talking about all the things that My Patriot Supply is doing

00:19:39.920 to support relief efforts there in Appalachia, in the disaster areas of eastern Tennessee,

00:19:46.160 and in western North Carolina.

00:19:48.460 My Patriot Supply is just fantastic with what they've been able to do.

00:19:51.720 And if you go to their website right now, you can find there's a way to be able to donate,

00:19:55.100 I believe, 10% of the proceeds that will go towards those relief operations.

00:20:01.040 Now, I'm very excited and honored to have on the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Glenn Jacobs,

00:20:06.840 who has spent the entire week tirelessly working to help people down there.

00:20:11.080 Glenn, how are you?

00:20:13.040 Hey, Jack. Thanks for having me on.

00:20:15.640 So I appreciate you being here.

00:20:17.220 Now, obviously, you're there on the ground right now.

00:20:20.280 That's why you're coming in via phone only.

00:20:22.040 Tell me, what are you seeing?

00:20:24.400 What's going on in terms of, you know, look, we've got a lot of videos.

00:20:28.640 A lot of us are scrolling through X or TikTok or something else.

00:20:32.260 Give us the ground truth of what you're seeing in East Tennessee.

00:20:35.840 Knox County, we did not get hit very badly at all.

00:20:40.000 Really, we just had to close two roads, and that was about it, just because of high water.

00:20:44.300 But when you move 50 miles east of us to Cock County, Tennessee, it's a pretty bad situation there.

00:20:50.800 A mayor, Rob Mathis, has done a really good job there, I think, of kind of getting everything stabilized.

00:20:58.340 They got their water plant back online, I think, a couple days ago.

00:21:03.300 However, because of the contamination, I mean, there's just, you know, everything in the water.

00:21:08.160 It's awful.

00:21:09.140 But from raw sewage, literally the dead bodies.

00:21:11.660 And Rob was able, they were able to get that back online, but they'll be under a boil order for the foreseeable future until future notice, until further notice.

00:21:22.640 So the biggest issue for them is still clean drinking water.

00:21:26.560 But when you move up into Upper East Tennessee, a couple hours from us, up closer to the North Carolina border, counties like Unicoi County and Johnson County, it's bad.

00:21:38.240 They've, you know, we've seen the pictures coming out of Western North Carolina.

00:21:41.280 It's much similar in Upper East Tennessee.

00:21:45.160 I-40, the eastbound lanes going into North Carolina, completely gone.

00:21:49.640 They're washed away.

00:21:50.900 I-26 collapsed, a bridge collapsed in two places.

00:21:54.700 The bridges that were washed out, the force of the water was so much.

00:21:59.120 And normally when it floods, it'll knock off the surface of the bridge, you know, the pavement and all that.

00:22:04.960 These actually took up the piers.

00:22:07.160 So those will have to be completely rebuilt.

00:22:09.480 Across the country, obviously, so far, 200 confirmed deaths.

00:22:13.640 That was yesterday, might have gone up by today.

00:22:15.940 11 of those in Tennessee.

00:22:17.420 And tragically, they'll find more people as the recovery efforts continue.

00:22:21.620 It's not a good situation.

00:22:22.820 And these are poor counties.

00:22:24.220 They don't have a whole lot of resources.

00:22:26.480 So it's going to be a long time, not only just stabilizing the situation and ensuring that people get what they need as far as emergency supplies, water and food and diapers and personal hygiene products and all those sort of things.

00:22:39.600 And restoring services like the roads and electricity.

00:22:43.960 But the economic toll in the long term is also just going to be devastating for that region.

00:22:49.300 I mean, some of the things that we're seeing here, the images that are coming out, the stories that are coming out, people happening upon victims, people who didn't make it out from the storm.

00:23:01.980 Let me ask you, from your perspective, as the mayor of a county that was affected by this, walk me through the early warning process, because there's been different stories about, I think one of the stories that I heard was people thought there was going to be flooding, but they didn't realize that the flooding would encompass their buildings, things like that.

00:23:20.940 There were other people saying that they didn't get warned early enough.

00:23:23.660 Walk me through from your perspective what it looked like.

00:23:26.140 From my perspective, we knew we had storms coming through, but nothing like this.

00:23:30.100 And then what happened was, for us, there's a dam up above Cock County, up above Newport, Tennessee, the Waterville Dam, and initially it was reported that that dam had breached, in which case what we're seeing now is nothing compared to what could have happened.

00:23:50.300 I mean, because you would have had a tidal wave coming down through the Smoky Mountains.

00:23:53.260 And, you know, I mean, you had fast-moving water, it was really bad, the flooding, but this would have been literally a tsunami that would have wiped out not only Newport, but another town down the road, Dandridge, and it would have caused much more significant problems in Knox County.

00:24:10.280 So, but yeah, there really wasn't any, you know, any like, hey, this is going to be really bad.

00:24:16.260 We just knew there was going to be a storm, and as we always do, we prepared for that, and it turned into something much, much worse.

00:24:22.260 You know, the hospital in Unicoi County, Tennessee, the people literally were just rushed up to the rooftop because the water was coming up so quickly.

00:24:32.520 The Tennessee National Guard, Tennessee Highway Patrol, and my hat's off to our own Knox County Sheriff's Department, had to airlift people off of that hospital roof.

00:24:40.900 Then the sheriff's, our sheriff's department helicopter, it was coming home, I called the sheriff, I'm like, man, could you please turn the bird around and head up to Cock County because they just, they're not in that dire situation, but it's happened.

00:24:55.720 I mean, they're just having flooding, they've evacuated Newport.

00:24:58.300 So they pulled 24 people around, roughly off the, off the rooftops there in Newport.

00:25:04.240 But yeah, as far as any advanced warning, I don't, at least on my end, we did not foresee anything like this.

00:25:11.900 So the idea being, I mean, obviously, look, you know, we all watch the news, we saw the storm track, and people could see that it was headed, seemed to be headed in that direction, but it was the severity that people didn't quite prepare for, and that people didn't realize that it would be quite as bad as this was.

00:25:29.080 Yeah, and again, you're talking counties that, they don't have a whole lot of resources, so it literally, it was just literally kind of a worst case scenario in that respect.

00:25:42.620 And then it also, it happened so quickly as well, and the dams just, they just couldn't hold, and they were compromising if the waters come over the top or over the side.

00:25:53.820 And then they did have to release water out of the dams, because if they don't do that, those dams would have burst.

00:26:00.040 And again, that would have been, I mean, as bad as what we're seeing now, that would have been, you know, like disaster movie stuff.

00:26:07.140 It would have just been just truly, just absolutely devastating for the entirety of Upper East Tennessee, all the way down into Knox County.

00:26:15.260 But yeah, it just, it happened very, very quickly.

00:26:17.500 So you're talking controlled water releases, then, that had to be done, or else you would have seen the flooding, dams bursting.

00:26:26.460 People, of course, remember the levees bursting in Katrina that weren't designed for that, that you would have seen that type of, that type of reaction.

00:26:34.600 And of course, now, and these dams, these dams, they held, they're designed to hold a large volume of water.

00:26:42.380 There, there was just so much.

00:26:43.980 I think now that they're saying this was like a once in a 5,000 year storm.

00:26:48.220 And, and again, just, I don't think anyone foresaw that happen.

00:26:53.240 I remember watching some of the data as well that said, basically, the storm got stuck up in the mountains there.

00:26:59.000 And because there had already been so much rain earlier in this month, just the past couple of days here in the DC area, we had 10 days straight of rain.

00:27:07.840 So I can only imagine how much more it was down, even before the storm arrived, that, that kind of already created these sort of slick conditions that really allowed for a lot of these landslides.

00:27:18.360 And then with the storm getting stuck in the mountains, that just produced a sheer volume of water that I don't think anyone was really prepared for in the flash flooding.

00:27:27.660 And the other thing, you know, the mountains, that's ironic, because the mountains often protect us from severe weather.

00:27:35.400 You know, we'll have tornadoes in middle Tennessee, we don't really see, we see some, but not that much.

00:27:41.580 We had one last year, actually, in Knox County, but that's really an anomaly.

00:27:45.140 We don't see them that much.

00:27:46.660 The winter storms kind of break up on the mountains.

00:27:50.160 And unfortunately, this time, it backfired.

00:27:54.740 And instead of moving through, yeah, it got stuck and just stayed there and just hammered and just rained and rained and rained.

00:28:01.860 And as you said, before this, a few weeks ago, we were actually in a drought.

00:28:06.060 And then we've started to get a lot of rain, which, of course, what that does is that just the tributaries and the lakes and everything start to rise again.

00:28:14.840 And there's just nowhere for the water to go.

00:28:16.740 And with nowhere for the water to go, that ends up hitting the homes, hitting the families, causing the devastation.

00:28:26.600 And thank God, by the way, that the death toll isn't worse.

00:28:31.040 But, of course, and we're seeing the images now that are coming out, we already know that it's hundreds of people.

00:28:36.360 And people keep saying expect that number to rise.

00:28:39.720 But it's really these towns that have been.

00:28:42.180 I mean, is the recovery crews able to penetrate further into the impacted areas?

00:28:47.560 You know, they're just going to see more.

00:28:49.320 And we're all expecting that.

00:28:51.060 So I would expect that to rise significantly.

00:28:54.620 The financial toll, I mean, you know, who knows?

00:28:59.660 But I think just because of the much larger area, this could be in the Katrina range, if not more, to rebuild.

00:29:10.380 The Tennessee Department of Transportation, a credible source, told me that it's going to be $300 million just in Tennessee, just on the state routes.

00:29:19.600 That doesn't include the local roads or anything like that.

00:29:22.400 And then, of course, that's just a very small part of it.

00:29:27.320 I mean, you have all of these buildings that we're seeing now, the homes, businesses, government buildings, all of them destroyed.

00:29:33.620 The sewage and water facilities, just all of it.

00:29:39.520 And then also the fact that, I mean, you know, the loss of economic activity as well.

00:29:43.940 In Cott County, one of their biggest economic drivers is tourism.

00:29:48.300 And that's not going to be happening, unfortunately, for a long time.

00:29:51.680 And people aren't going to be driving through Cott County because once you get past Knoxville, there's really nothing to go except unless you're going up to North Carolina.

00:29:59.600 So the long-term impact is going to be the loss of economic activity, loss of jobs, and, you know, just the future burdening of poverty on an already somewhat impoverished area.

00:30:13.820 And Mayor Jacobs, we've got a quick break coming up.

00:30:16.660 Can we hold you over for a little bit?

00:30:18.000 Can we, uh, because I want to talk about some more operations that are going on so that people who are watching can help?

00:30:23.560 Thank you.

00:30:31.980 Jack, where is Jack?

00:30:34.580 Where is Jack?

00:30:36.900 Where is he?

00:30:38.180 Jack, I want to see you.

00:30:41.820 Great job, Jack.

00:30:43.280 Thank you.

00:30:44.040 What a job you do.

00:30:45.460 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:30:46.640 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policemen.

00:30:54.360 All right, Jack, so we're back here live.

00:30:56.280 I'm in Washington, D.C., but we're speaking with Mayor Glenn Jacobs of Knox County, Tennessee.

00:31:01.920 Glenn, you were just talking a little bit during the break there about how your county is sort of right on the periphery of the disaster region there in East Tennessee.

00:31:11.640 Does that make Knox County sort of a hub for operations so that a lot of these rescuers, a lot of these disaster relief folks can get into where you are and then make the trek into the actual areas that were affected?

00:31:24.580 Not really.

00:31:27.160 You know, the state's already doing things in Upper East Tennessee and has from the beginning.

00:31:32.680 We're probably more of a hub for the volunteer relief effort and just some of those things that are going on, you know, the support and supplies that are going in and all those sort of things.

00:31:43.040 You know, and the one, we're the volunteer state.

00:31:45.680 And that's not just a nickname.

00:31:48.440 I mean, we pride ourselves on that.

00:31:50.420 And the amazing thing about events like this is just how many people come forward.

00:31:57.300 And I mean, I put on Twitter today, I can't even keep track of all the people that have called and, hey, you need help with this.

00:32:06.340 I can do this.

00:32:07.120 Or folks that I've called, hey, I need this.

00:32:08.880 And then they'll say, well, you know, okay, great.

00:32:10.860 And we can help with this.

00:32:12.300 And we know someone who can do that.

00:32:13.560 And it's just been amazing, just the outpouring of help, you know, just all the supplies that are going up into Upper East Tennessee.

00:32:24.200 In 2016, there was horrible wildfires in Sevier County, which is right next to us down in the Gatlinburg area.

00:32:31.280 And after a few weeks, because of calls for help, the nonprofits down there literally had to tell people, quit sending us stuff because we don't have anywhere to put it.

00:32:40.940 And this is this would be this would be a longer recovery than that.

00:32:44.640 I mean, that, you know, that that that was bad, but this is much worse.

00:32:48.100 But nevertheless, I mean, just the amount of stuff that I've seen coming through from private individuals, business organizations, nonprofits, churches, it is unbelievable.

00:32:59.840 And thank you all so much.

00:33:01.400 Thank you all so much.

00:33:31.400 And it probably despair and hopelessness.

00:33:37.140 And I mean, you can absolutely see that because, again, this is an area that, you know, just doesn't doesn't have a whole lot to begin with.

00:33:44.340 And for something like this to happen and, you know, this was completely unforeseen.

00:33:52.440 We're not Florida where hurricanes come through all the time and that sort of thing.

00:33:56.980 And so this is unique for us in a very bad way.

00:34:02.720 Mayor Jacobs, I understand that you're going to be leading or participating in a fundraiser for an event this Saturday.

00:34:10.840 Please give out the information for that.

00:34:12.420 Yeah. So this is a canned food and bottled water drive.

00:34:17.160 And as I said, the the most urgent need is still bottled water all through Upper East Tennessee.

00:34:23.800 It will be at the Knoxville Wholesale Furniture Clearance Center.

00:34:27.440 That's owned by Tim Harris, who is a great guy.

00:34:31.560 And he's going to make a pretty, pretty good donation to the cause himself, which is awesome.

00:34:36.320 But it's right next to Westtown Mall.

00:34:38.600 That'll be from 10 to 4 on Saturday.

00:34:41.560 And please bring canned goods, bottled water especially, but also diapers and all those sort of things.

00:34:49.420 It benefits Mission of Hope.

00:34:51.140 Mission of Hope does work in rural Appalachia.

00:34:53.820 And that website is missionofhope.org.

00:34:56.540 And they have a banner on their homepage now for hurricane relief.

00:35:02.120 So please visit them.

00:35:03.380 And if you are able, please give a donation.

00:35:06.280 It will go to these efforts.

00:35:08.140 That's missionofhope.org.

00:35:09.600 That's fantastic.

00:35:11.660 So missionofhope.org.

00:35:13.100 And I know, unfortunately, something that I've run into, and I'm sure you have as well,

00:35:17.040 that in a lot of these situations, you know, you get a lot of people who come up and say,

00:35:21.880 and certainly with social media, it's only exacerbated the situation where people will say,

00:35:27.140 oh, you know, I'm from so-and-so, and I'm here on the ground, and I'm doing this,

00:35:31.140 and I'm raising money, but really all the money is going right in their pockets.

00:35:35.020 And so that's why I always try to make sure that I verify these things, or like what we are doing right now,

00:35:41.500 that I can speak to someone who's local, that actually knows that this is real, that it's legitimate,

00:35:46.380 that it's going where it needs to.

00:35:49.020 Yeah, and that's exactly right.

00:35:50.500 I've had people reach out to me on Twitter and social media, and just personally as well, because of that.

00:35:56.680 You know, who should we give money to, because there's so many, you know, and it's disgusting that people would use a tragedy like this to enrich themselves.

00:36:05.000 But nevertheless, it does happen.

00:36:06.980 So again, yeah, that's missionofhope.org, and they're a great organization, and they're a faith-based organization as well.

00:36:13.940 Well, that's fantastic.

00:36:15.060 Yeah, actually, and I'll give credit where it's due, because a lot of the sites out there, Gives and Go, and even GoFundMe,

00:36:21.460 I did a sort of an internet fundraiser for, and Fundly I've worked with, so I did a fundraiser for East Tennessee, actually,

00:36:28.760 the wildfires a couple years back, and gives, for one of the local fire stations, and GoFundMe worked very hard to verify.

00:36:39.340 Even before the funds were released, I had to get somebody from the fire department on the phone with them.

00:36:46.420 They had to verify who they were.

00:36:47.960 They had to show credentials, all of that.

00:36:49.880 We also did an online fundraiser for David Dorn and his family through Fundly back in 2020 when he was killed in St. Louis,

00:36:57.280 and it was the same situation.

00:36:58.680 You know, we had to verify exactly where the money was going and all of it, and I always said,

00:37:03.540 look, I don't want to touch any of the money, so that's why I'm always happy to come in and partner with

00:37:08.940 or just support somebody that already has it set up and has it here.

00:37:13.220 Last minute to you, Mayor Jacobs.

00:37:15.360 What do you want people to remember coming out of this, and where can they go to follow you for updates?

00:37:20.720 Oh, man, coming out of it, just, you know, this is, again, this is a devastating situation.

00:37:26.180 At the same time, it's often during these times that sometimes you see the worst of people,

00:37:33.640 but you also see the best of people, and I have gotten to see the best of people.

00:37:37.520 And we're East Tennessee.

00:37:38.760 I mean, we're going to do it ourselves if we have to.

00:37:42.600 That's just who we are.

00:37:45.820 So I appreciate everybody in advance.

00:37:48.260 On Twitter, it's at Glenn with two N's, G-L-E-N-N, Jacobs, T-N, and that's the best way to follow me on social media. 1.00

00:37:58.060 All right.

00:37:58.860 God bless.

00:37:59.400 Mayor Glenn Jacobs.

00:38:00.660 We'll let you get back to it there.

00:38:02.620 Now, I wanted to bring on Brian Glenn.

00:38:05.060 He's on the ground in Butler, Pennsylvania, where we will all be traveling tomorrow for the rally.

00:38:11.460 Brian, what's it looking like out there, man?

00:38:15.600 Hey, Jack.

00:38:16.620 Good afternoon.

00:38:17.520 I'm just really about a quarter mile away from the farm show here in Butler.

00:38:23.460 Earlier, we were on the ground, kind of inside the perimeter.

00:38:26.820 We had to leave that area.

00:38:28.220 They were moving some things around that made it difficult for us to broadcast, very much like right now.

00:38:34.680 But, hey, look, the traffic coming into this area is getting heavier.

00:38:40.160 I was just talking to a colleague of mine that was traveling in.

00:38:42.860 And they said, hey, you know, there's a lot of traffic right now heading from Pittsburgh into Butler.

00:38:48.000 Security-wise, Jack, if you and the viewers are wondering, they have put in place tractor trailers and things around the perimeter of that farm show.

00:39:00.180 And really, in the parts where the shooter was on the roof.

00:39:05.120 Early this morning, we were right in that parking lot.

00:39:07.440 And it was crazy to think that before someone could stand where we were and have a clear eye view of the president.

00:39:16.060 I just can't believe that was ever approved.

00:39:17.500 So is that what we're seeing right now behind you?

00:39:19.320 Those tractor trailers are being set up as security implements for the rally?

00:39:24.860 No.

00:39:26.360 This one is not.

00:39:27.420 This was not associated with the rally.

00:39:29.020 This is associated, I guess, with another space here nearby.

00:39:33.000 But I will say this, security there around the perimeter of the farm show has been enhanced.

00:39:40.800 Now, I haven't seen a lot of security people outside the rally.

00:39:43.600 I haven't seen a whole lot of police officers, now that I think about it, at all outside the rally.

00:39:48.840 But I think as we get closer to the gates opening up tomorrow, and I know that you'll be doing War Room, which is awesome, on the ground there.

00:39:57.400 For media, we've got to be there relatively early, presets.

00:40:02.540 Go ahead.

00:40:03.640 One question that a lot of people keep asking me, and I haven't quite heard yet.

00:40:07.360 Is President Trump going to be speaking at the same spot?

00:40:09.520 Is it actually going to be on the same location?

00:40:13.600 It is the same location as before.

00:40:17.080 Absolutely the same.

00:40:18.480 They have just barricaded that place in with big rigs.

00:40:22.160 Now, this one behind me obviously is not associated with that, I don't think, unless it's moving.

00:40:25.940 But it is insane how much barricade they have around that area.

00:40:31.220 Even during our live shot, they moved in trucks behind me that I didn't even know they had.

00:40:36.720 But did you see the speaker list, Jack?

00:40:39.720 Did you see it?

00:40:40.300 You've got a lot of heavy hitters that are going to be at this rally.

00:40:45.100 So, personally, yeah, I mean, to think that Elon Musk is going to take the stage is amazing.

00:40:50.480 But we'll have full coverage War Room tomorrow. 0.63

00:40:52.620 We'll have it to you live right here in Real America's Voice, Jack.

00:40:54.780 All right, we'll be there.

00:40:56.760 I'll see you tonight, man.

00:40:58.060 I'm listening in my ear about the boring people at your office.

00:41:05.580 I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:41:10.420 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.

00:41:12.120 Live human events daily.

00:41:13.600 Washington, D.C.

00:41:14.240 The world is in flames.

00:41:15.320 Kamala Harris, a complete and total disaster.

00:41:17.440 But it cannot and will not ruin my day.

00:41:19.480 Do you know why?

00:41:20.400 It's because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.

00:41:25.320 This coffee is 100% America.

00:41:27.580 Blackout coffee is 100% committed to conservative values from sourcing the beans, to the roasting process, customer support, and shipping.

00:41:33.760 They embody true American values and accept no compromise on taste or quality.

00:41:38.500 Look, I love this stuff.

00:41:39.740 I have it every day.

00:41:40.540 You know, it powers me, powers the show, powers the business, powers us traveling all around the country in this great election.

00:41:46.840 So it's family-owned blackout coffee.

00:41:49.100 You're going to love it.

00:41:50.140 Blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO.

00:41:51.520 Make sure you're using that promo code POSO20, by the way.

00:41:58.560 We know that we're in election mode.

00:41:59.900 People are out there.

00:42:00.680 They're knocking on doors.

00:42:01.620 They're getting involved.

00:42:02.400 They're doing everything they can.

00:42:03.400 So make sure that you power yourself and you energize yourself with Blackout Coffee.

00:42:08.860 Again, that's blackoutcoffee.com, promo code POSO20.

00:42:13.500 Blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO, promo code POSO20.

00:42:17.960 Very excited now that we have Danes D'Souza on, and we have the trailer for his new film.

00:42:24.780 Let's play that, guys.

00:42:25.400 Somebody has to help this country, and if they don't, the country and the world are in big trouble.

00:42:33.900 Someone's got to overturn the tables in the temple.

00:42:36.400 Trump jumping into the presidential race.

00:42:41.480 She's a bit worried.

00:42:43.040 Of the apprentice guy?

00:42:45.180 You know the feeling of power.

00:42:48.040 Could you handle it or would it devour?

00:42:51.660 They fear that power.

00:42:53.880 You didn't do an insurrection.

00:42:55.400 Had you called for one, there would have been one.

00:42:57.420 And there would be one if you called for one now.

00:42:59.780 I'm not sure I want that power.

00:43:01.020 I want the power just to make the country better.

00:43:03.160 America first!

00:43:04.400 And that scares them.

00:43:05.580 A lot about Donald Trump scares them.

00:43:07.520 Let's look at everything.

00:43:08.740 Campaign, his family.

00:43:10.080 Let's get foreign eyes on him.

00:43:12.440 We have one target.

00:43:13.900 You know who he is.

00:43:14.940 Going after their companies, their families.

00:43:17.020 That is a dictator.

00:43:18.440 It's a very dangerous time for our country.

00:43:20.360 The goal is to put him in jail because they're so afraid of his voice.

00:43:23.420 I am your voice!

00:43:26.640 We'll bury him so deep in legal, it'll bankrupt him.

00:43:29.640 Broke Donald.

00:43:30.460 In jail right before the election.

00:43:32.500 That's hard for being that guy, but isn't that election interference?

00:43:35.760 Vindicating Trump, the new film.

00:43:39.860 Dinesh D'Souza joins us now.

00:43:41.740 Dinesh, this thing looks incredible.

00:43:44.520 It is my most timely and urgent film.

00:43:47.620 It's highly entertaining, at times terrifying.

00:43:50.800 But most of all, it gives you a real window into Trump.

00:43:55.540 And it is a defense of Trump.

00:43:57.300 I mean, a no-holds-barred, unapologetic, full-throated defense of Trump.

00:44:02.980 And it's an answer to some of these Republicans who say stuff like,

00:44:05.980 well, you know, I don't like him, but I like his policies.

00:44:09.340 Or, you know, he needs to shut his mouth.

00:44:12.000 There's this effort to sort of create a modified, a remade, a rehabilitated Trump.

00:44:18.380 And my argument is, no, we don't need to remake him or rehabilitate him.

00:44:22.160 Trump, as is, is precisely the leader that we need in the crisis that we face today.

00:44:29.200 You know, this is incredible.

00:44:30.820 By the way, so I was telling you to do the break a little bit.

00:44:33.420 So, you know, I'm flying up to Butler this weekend.

00:44:35.580 We're doing the rally.

00:44:36.440 But Tanya Tay hits me up. 0.98

00:44:37.500 She says, I'd love to do a date night with you.

00:44:39.980 Just get a couple of minutes, you know, one night to ourselves.

00:44:42.980 And I say, all right, let's see what's playing down at the movie theater.

00:44:45.320 And I look and I see, oh, vindicating Trump.

00:44:48.220 What do you think?

00:44:48.760 Should I take Tanya Tay to go see it for our date night tonight?

00:44:52.500 Without a doubt, Jack, particularly if you want to put her in a romantic mood, this is going to do it.

00:44:59.420 This will do it.

00:45:00.260 Look, and by the way, that's no joke because people know, people know that Tanya Tay and I have gone to a lot of your premieres in the past.

00:45:06.680 It was actually the first place we took Jack-Jack to see his very first movie.

00:45:10.100 And believe it or not, I don't even think I've ever told you this, that something Tanya mentioned to me that even before we met, she said, you know, I really like those Dinesh D'Souza movies.

00:45:21.160 And I think she went to go see the Obama one even before she and I had met.

00:45:25.800 So a lot of people think that her politics are like because of me or something.

00:45:29.140 No, no.

00:45:30.260 We may actually have Dinesh D'Souza to thank for converting Tanya Tay and his films because people go to these things.

00:45:38.000 They watch them and it kind of opens their mind up to this.

00:45:41.240 And that's what this film can do for Trump specifically.

00:45:43.360 I mean, the beauty of a film is, you know, it's one thing to tell someone about something.

00:45:48.460 It's another thing to show it to them.

00:45:50.580 We show you things in this film that are kind of mind blowing.

00:45:53.780 One of the things, by the way, we show you is that our election system is so vulnerable that it's possible to make ballots, to make ballots and reproduce them at scale.

00:46:03.900 It's crazy.

00:46:04.700 And I thought I knew something about election fraud after 2000 mules, and this even blew my mind. 0.85

00:46:10.540 The other thing is, I was able to do a very interesting one-on-one with Trump right after the assassination attempt.

00:46:17.660 And he was in a certain type of a introspective mood.

00:46:21.520 And so I think you see in the conversation with Trump, the tumblers of his mind.

00:46:25.740 You see a window into the way he thinks and the way he feels, things that he sometimes does not like to display in public.

00:46:32.900 I just want to confirm that you're saying this interview was conducted after the shooting.

00:46:38.540 Yeah.

00:46:39.140 Ironically, we were supposed to interview Trump before.

00:46:41.680 It got postponed.

00:46:42.800 I was a little annoyed.

00:46:44.360 But then providentially, we got to talk to him right after.

00:46:47.700 And of course, it makes the film seem very current as if I finished it yesterday.

00:46:52.480 Well, and there you go, because, you know, you look at it this way.

00:46:57.380 And, you know, as a guy who's in the same business, I would have felt the exact same way.

00:47:02.320 But then, of course, you know, something like that happens.

00:47:05.260 And you've got to it sort of changes the entire pallor of the film, because now it's a which similar thing happened at the RNC, which is just the next, you know, starting the next Monday after the Saturday.

00:47:18.480 And so you were able to get that in, get the footage in.

00:47:22.800 Did it did it have a big change to the documentary or just as a filmmaker?

00:47:27.100 Or was it more of it same footage, but it changes the angle?

00:47:31.840 No, it's the you know, the the film is really about Trump, the man, because if you think about the sort of anxiety over Trump, it's really not over his policies.

00:47:41.000 It's over Trump, the man. And there are people who love to point out Trump's vices.

00:47:45.860 Oh, he's he used to be a playboy. You know, he's an egomaniac. 0.96

00:47:49.540 Very little attention is focused on Trump's great virtues.

00:47:52.900 And of course, he has the sublime virtue of courage, which Aristotle says is the greatest of all the virtues.

00:47:58.760 He displayed it not only in his response to the two assassination attempts, but look at the way that he has sort of waded through these 91 criminal charges.

00:48:09.040 Any other Republican facing three criminal charges would have fled the field, quit the race, never be heard from again.

00:48:16.620 So at a time when you are dealing with this juggernaut of a police state being mobilized on the left, we need a tough guy on our side.

00:48:24.220 And Trump is is the toughest of the tough guys we have.

00:48:28.760 The film is Vindicating Trump. And what can I say? I might be taking Tanya Tate to see it on our date night tonight.

00:48:36.000 Thanks so much, Danes. Absolutely, Jack.

00:48:38.960 By the way, the website VindicatingTrump.com.

00:48:42.020 Plug in your city. VindicatingTrump.com.

00:48:45.400 Make sure everybody gets that. Ladies and gentlemen, see you in Butler, Pennsylvania tomorrow.

00:48:49.880 As always, you have my permission.

00:48:58.760 I'll see you in the next one.

00:48:59.660 Bye.
