Starting point is 00:00:36 to Investigator of Podcast. I'm your host Chad alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. On tonight's episode, we're talking about militias. That mainstream media say are going town to town and city to city and hurricane ravaged Western North Carolina searching out FEMA workers to potentially kill them or hold them hostage or kidnap them. Is this true? Because this is what mainstream media has been running with.
Starting point is 00:01:01 And they're saying that this is all due to President Donald Trump's rhetoric. is this true? We're going to get to the bottom of this. And just so happens, by the way, that the sheriff that they are basically blaming for some of this, which is Sheriff Chuck Wright of Spartanburg County, is our sheriff in this county. And so we're going to go over everything. We're going to play you what Sheriff Chuck Wright originally said in an interview with a Fox
Starting point is 00:01:26 News reporter while he was in Lake Lueur, North Carolina, which was on the most damaged and ravaged areas during Hurricane Helene. And for those that do not know, we have come. covered Hurricane Helene extensively throughout this process over the past few weeks. My family is from there. Many of my friends are from there. We have spent time in Western North Carolina over the past couple of weeks. And it has been devastated.
Starting point is 00:01:50 What the government wants you to believe is that FEMA has done an amazing job. And all of everything that you're hearing as far as what they did or did not do, especially didn't do, or how they did not respond accordingly, is all lies. and it's all something that the right and MAGA supporters and Trump is pushing. And so that's what we're going to talk about on tonight's episode, guys. Welcome to the show. It is, what is today's date? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:02:17 It's October 15th. I cannot believe it. It's already October 15th. Halfway through the month. 20 days until the election. We keep calling it out. We had an episode last night about the alleged Trump assassination suspect, which it seems like he was actually not an assassination suspect.
Starting point is 00:02:34 whatsoever. But guys, we're going to go over all of this on the show. Welcome to our show. We're very happy to be here. I will not lie to you. It's been a tough couple of weeks. We said this last night on the episode with Hurricane Helene and everything that's done to our area and trying to help our family get back just into normalcy and life, especially when you have family that has medical issues and all this stuff. Our brains, our hearts, our souls, everything that we have been about has been elsewhere and then there just been a lot of other stuff kind of happen and it just seems like today even sherry we were we were sitting in the house kind of getting ready for this show we first saw like three fire trucks rushing down our street to a i guess supposed house fire i don't
Starting point is 00:03:19 know if it was a big house far or not but then it was like two hours later you went walking maverick yeah 430 and i maverick and i we walked in our neighborhood we're in a golf community I walk him on the streets and I also go on like this nature trail thing. And it was so funny today because sometimes I don't take my phone with me. But today I turned around like, I need my phone. What does something were to happen? I just had this feeling. So I went back and got my phone.
Starting point is 00:03:48 But then I was thinking, oh, God, I don't even have live 360 on my phone because I have a new phone and I should have downloaded it, whatever. So we're walking on the trail and here are these helicopters, helicopters everywhere. around us. I'm like, oh, maybe my intuition feeling was right. Maybe somebody's out here. This is kind of scary. So I turned Maverick around and we got off the nature trail and then we started walking on the sidewalks. And as we're walking on the sidewalks in our neighborhood, you can see police just going 110 miles an hour down the street. It was crazy. Yeah, down our street. I was actually walking out that time. And then as we're seeing this, we have helicopters everywhere.
Starting point is 00:04:30 There was, I don't know, potentially South Carolina law enforcement division, Spartanburg County. You potentially had Greenwood County. You had WIFF4 News. You had everyone kind of surrounding the area. And this is our neighborhood. Sorry. Yeah, this went on for at least two or three hours.
Starting point is 00:04:48 They were looking for suspects. And our entire entrance of our neighborhood was actually completely cut off. what we know right now what it sounds like is potentially there was a shooting somewhere may have led to some type of pursuit then people jumped out of the vehicle and ran in the golf course
Starting point is 00:05:06 I think they captured some people on the golf course we're not 100% positive about the actual details but what I can say is this just this tells you how our world is is getting right now we've lived here for quite some time and it's like it's almost like every other day you're hearing about shootings, you're hearing about new gang activity, you're hearing about all these things that you would typically only hear about in Chicago or
Starting point is 00:05:33 Los Angeles or San Francisco and even the smaller towns now are starting to deal with this massive onslaught of violence. Now, I don't know exactly 100% why from what we have kind of heard today. We don't know the facts, but potentially these were teens that were involved in maybe the shooting, the pursuit, the run, whatever the case is. We don't 100% know what the full details of this are, but it just goes to show you that no matter where you're at, things are changing and they're changing very fast. And this is no different, especially during Hurricane Helene.
Starting point is 00:06:10 We have Newsweek here with the article, by the way, that Newsweek published and said FEMA pauses aid in North Carolina amid armed militia threat. This was posted October to 14th yesterday at about 8.58 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. And it says the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it made operational adjustments in North Carolina over the weekend and temporarily paused aid in parts of the state amid concerns that an armed militia is threatening government workers. Now, the Washington Post reported that FEMA had advised federal responders in Rutherford County to stand down and evacuate the county immediately, they said. said on Saturday, citing an email from an official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Now, the email said National Guard troops had encountered trucks of armed militia saying they
Starting point is 00:07:04 were out hunting FEMA. Now, I want you to write that down, Sherry, because I want to make sure that we remember that. This says the email said, and National Guard troops had encountered trucks of armed militia. National Guard said this. Yeah, supposedly, right? Supposedly National Guard said this. And in a Sunday post on Facebook, Ash County Sheriff Phil Howell said FEMA had paused their process as they were assessing the threats. Now, a spokesperson for FEMA told Newsweek on Monday that the agency had made changes to its recovery efforts to ensure the safety of staff and survivors.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And it quotes, FEMA continues to support communities impacted by Helene and help survivors apply assistance, the spokesperson said. Now, they went on to say, for the safety of our debt. dedicated staff and disaster survivors. We are helping. FEMA has made some operational adjustments. Disaster recovery centers will continue to be open as scheduled. Survivors continue to register for assistance, and we continue to help the people of North Carolina with their recovery. Newsweek has learned that the disaster survivor assistance teams are currently working at
Starting point is 00:08:10 fixed locations and secured areas and are no longer going door to door out of an abundance of caution. Shane Martin, a spokesperson for the Forest Service, told Newsweek, that a Forest Service liaison supporting the response to Hurricane Helene received an alert from FEMA that, in accordance with protocol, he relayed to integrity leadership on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Martin said the communication was an internal one intended to help keep partners informed of the situation. Martin added, it's important to mention many Forest Service employees lives in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene. The U.S. Forest Service continues
Starting point is 00:08:48 to actively support communities impacted by Hurricane. in partnership with FEMA and state and local teams, and we will do so if the need remains, they said. FEMA has been fighting misinformation since Helene hit Florida on September 26th before leaving a trail of destruction across several southeastern states as it traveled north. Some of the social media called for FEMA to be targeted after a rumor that devastated North Carolina town of Chimney Rock was going to be seized and bulldozed by the government
Starting point is 00:09:15 circulated online despite local authorities and news outlets debunking the claim. Now, former president Donald Trump, this is where Newsweek, they got to bring Donald Trump into this and others have also fueled false claims that FEMA has not been able to respond well enough because it diverted disaster relief funds to help migrants. And that is not true, it says, which it is true. And we'll talk about that. Hopefully, just make sure you write that down, Cherry. So it says, while FEMA administers the shelter and service programs, funding comes from a separate pot of money funded by Congress for U.S. Customs, and border protection. Other false claims have also been made,
Starting point is 00:09:53 including that people are taking federal relief money, could see their land seized, or that's the $750 is the most they will ever get to rebuild. FEMA has set up a page on this website to combat misinformation and rumors. So, guys, you should absolutely make sure that you go to a government website to make sure that you were receiving accurate information, because we know the government never lies to us. Just remember that.
Starting point is 00:10:17 FEMA administration, gosh, money. Sorry, that's funny. Bima administrator, Diane Criswell, told reporters last week that the false claims were hurting worker morale as she urged people in the hard hit areas to accept the government's assistance. And as she quotes, we have thousands of people on the ground, not just federal, but also volunteers in the private sector. Criswell said in a news conference in Ashwell on October 7th. And frankly, that type of rhetoric is demoralizing to our staff that have left their families to come here and help with the people of North Carolina. And we will be here as long as they are needed.
Starting point is 00:10:54 So that is the Newsweek article. Obviously, they are trying to push all this on right wing slash right talking points, especially Donald Trump and other people. There has been, as we mentioned in the beginning of the show, Sheriff Chuck Wright with Spartanburg County. Now, Sheriff Chuck Wright went up to Chimney Rock, North Carolina, aka Rutherford County. This is essentially where Lake Lure and Rutherford County are. this is one of the most devastated areas during Hurricane Helene outside of, say, Swananoa and
Starting point is 00:11:24 certain parts of Buncombe County in Asheville, North Carolina. And what Chuck Wright was saying in the original interview went viral. And he went viral because what he was seeing at the time during when he was there, along with other sheriffs and first responders in law enforcement, they felt like that someone, aka the government, at the very least, was falling. short in the response to Hurricane Helene. And this is when he spoke up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:53 And when you see hundreds of videos saying the same thing over and over and over, what are you going to believe? The government that writes something or videos that you see over and over where FEMA is getting in the way of people helping and they're not helping the people. This is what we have been saying since day one of Hurricane Aline. Yeah. And let me just explain something to everyone, too. we all know, obviously, that the internet can be a very crazy place.
Starting point is 00:12:24 We know that there can be rumors, there can be conspiracy theories, that can be all of these things that completely get out of control and out of hand. Now, the good thing, actually, in a lot of cases are that whereas a lot of people speculate, right? We've talked about the Maui fires and what happened with the Maui fires. Now, you can speculate how that happened. You can speculate what's going to happen with the land after the. Maui fires and there's still a lot that is not understood about what may still happen with that
Starting point is 00:12:54 land where all the people from what we have researched and understood, which we got to dive back into that. But are these people going to be able to recover their land? I think in a lot of cases in Maui, they will not be able to recover their land. It will be declared a disaster zone. So in this Newsweek article where people are saying that if you request FEMA assistance or otherwise that your land or your property may be seized. A lot of this is coming from what a lot of people have been seeing happening in Maui after
Starting point is 00:13:25 the massive fire that ripped through an entire community left so many people homeless. And many of those people, by the way, are still not going to be able to potentially ever access their land. You'll have to research out. I got a research out as well. Last I saw, there's a lot of people that will never ever go back to the land. Yeah, they can't go back home. It will be seized in some way, shape, or form from what we have understood.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And also just the secrecy around Maui. Yes. And how much they were trying to keep investigative reporters out of there was also very suspect. But, Chad, I'm telling you, the same thing is happening in Lake Lour and Chimney Rock. Maybe. Well, I have seen posts where people actually live there and said there was a town meeting where they said that property is gone, it's distracted, that you can't build it back. And it's, you're never going back. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. This is what I've, and I tend to believe it because we're right here. We're like a half of a state over from them. I see a lot of them. We're about 45 minutes from them, yeah. Yeah, 45 minutes from this place. Now, so there has been some bats, I guess some rebuttal on some of that talk about the town met and all that stuff saying that never happened. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:14:38 There has been official news reports that have come out to where the town themselves come out and said it never happened. But I have friends of friends that are sharing their friends stories. Yeah, I get that. And these are actual people that live there. Yeah. And listen, very well may be true, right? 100% could be true. We don't know for sure right now.
Starting point is 00:14:57 We will probably know six months to a year from now whether that becomes true or not. But also, it goes back to even the case, which if you guys listen to our Hurricane Helene episodes, where even the case where the assistant fire chief or the fire chief himself, I don't even know exactly which one it was. That was threatening arrest of the helicopter pilot that went to rescue a elderly couple on a mountainside. And left his co-pilot, which was his son. Yeah, left his co-pilot, but also left the husband of the female that he brought back down to the landing zone where the fire department and police were. And essentially, they told him, hey, if you go back up there, you will be arrested.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And he said, well, I got to tell you this, my co-pilist up there, number. number one. And I am going to go back and get my copala, aka my son. And I, you know, I have no choice on that. And they basically went on to say if you, you know, especially if you go and rescue the husband, then you're screwed. Yeah. He had to leave him there. Yeah, he left him there. He did go back and get his son, but he did have to leave the husband, which was obviously very distraught, very confused of why that would even happen. And they were obviously reunited. There's actually a video out there on the internet somewhere where they were reunited, obviously, thankfully. And so there's been so, so many stories on this, guys.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And so we got to talk about all this. And as we're getting into this, we're about to play Sheriff Chuck Wright's video when this Fox News reporter actually asked them some questions. We are going to do that. But I also want to specify that during this ABC, what was it ABC? I think? They were saying Fox News, whoever. a lot of these hotels have been occupied by FEMA.
Starting point is 00:16:45 There is no way for other families or families to be in hotels at this time because FEMA is taken over whole hotels. That's number one. Number two, I think there's a big difference between misinformation and malinformation. And we've got to get to the bottom of it. Because newscasts are saying it's misinformation, but in my opinion, it's malinformation. Yeah, in some cases for sure. And actually after, hey, Sherry, can you write down, I'm sorry, we're kind of going on this on the fly a little bit. But can you write down Sean Ryan?
Starting point is 00:17:21 I want to make sure I get to his recent video as well because of something that came out on his podcast where he had to come out and make, I guess, a correction on something that someone came on his podcast and said about a photo op that I believe Kamala Harris did on a C-17. We'll get to that in just a minute. But before we get to that, let's get to our sheriff in Spartanburg County where he was questioned by a Fox News reporter. And this is what he had to say, which went viral across many platforms, millions of views. And because of that, he got hell. But he has responded a couple of times since then. But we got to get through this. And we got to start asking the question, who's right, who's lying?
Starting point is 00:18:03 And, you know, are people now starting to be backed in corners? Even maybe Chuck Wright. I'm not saying necessarily he is, but we're going to find out. Let's listen to what Chuck Wright's interview that went viral was that got this whole thing in a, not the whole thing, but, you know, at the very least for him, Spartanburg County, you know. Sorry, Chuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Let's listen this guys. Here you go. I was going to say something about Biden and Harris. Yes, what were you going to say? Oh. But I don't want to curse. I'm scared of these little ears listening. Well, and you've been up here.
Starting point is 00:18:35 You've been up here for how long? Two days. Two days. He's doing a fantastic job. That's right. I mean, Sheriff, you've been amazing. Thank you so much for all you do. I'm going to definitely get this up on social media.
Starting point is 00:18:48 We're going live tonight with Sean Hannity. But if you had a message for the White House and how they've handled the situation up here in North Carolina, what would your message be, Sheriff Wright? If you're going to do the things you've been talking about doing, we'd just assume you stay out of the way and let the good men and women around the mountain area in the foothills take care of our own because you're nothing more than a boat anchor.
Starting point is 00:19:12 No help. FEMA hasn't been helpful. That lady that's running for president talks about the $750. But all that money you give to Ukraine and all these other people that really want to kill us. Don't want to do anything to help us. Once you just give that money to them, that's who you weren't to give it through again with. And a lot of people have been turned down for the $750. Almost everybody I've spoken to hasn't received any of the funding and they've been turned down for personal items.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Well, they talked about get on your phone or your computer. Do you not see what the devastation is? They don't have a phone or a computer. There's nothing up here. There's no communication. I'm going to be posting this later. There's no way to access the Internet unless you have a Starlink net. And everybody's...
Starting point is 00:20:02 Thank you, Elon Musk, by the way. Oh, yes. Thank you, Elon Musk. Trump, we need you. What are the, yes, that's a message for you, President Trump. And I was in that, I was going to ask you, what are the most affected areas that you've seen? Is this pretty much ground zero from what you've seen, or can you? I think that'd be better for Sheriff here that's happened for sure, because he knows this County
Starting point is 00:20:25 out there and not do. You're in Rutherford County. What are the most affected areas? Almost certainly. Lake Moore and Chimney Rock is the most affected areas. You know, we've, you know, we've had. I mean, we're here in Chimney Rock. I know that what was Timu Rock.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Lower in the county, you know, we've had a lot of damage, but nothing to this magnitude here. This has just been devastating. For all of you out there, whatever you can do, whether it's Samaritan's purse, whether you live in the area. Yeah. Samaritan's purse is. All these other people, they're not used to sit on a bar. So Samaritan's purse, that's it. Samaritan's purse.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Come out here if they need. I heard you need more hands, more help, more manpower in some areas. So if you're living out in the area and you have special skills and you can help. Let me a tag on to that. Don't just sell up saying I want to help. You get in touch with somebody and get some. They'll give you a code. They'll give you a person to be in contact with because we know you want to help.
Starting point is 00:21:28 But we have to vet you because there's stuff laying around here that people's worked all their life for. I can't just let a stranger, we can't let a stranger come here and just walk down the seat. They don't want looters. We're not going to have looters. If you come over here and loot, just like in Spartanburg, you're not going to like us at all. Don't come here and loot. Don't come to Rutherford County if you're going to leave. They can go to Spartanburg or Greenville County either because we don't tolerate you either.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Well, thank you so much. Thank you so much for taking your time to talk to me. I'll be back out here tomorrow. I'll be back out here. So there you go. So there is Sheriff Chuck Wright of Spartanburg County. And so those two guys were there. Now, listen, you know, there are some people that may criticize Sheriff Chuck Wright's response.
Starting point is 00:22:14 But for what? Well, because, you know, number one, we are in the South and we have a lot of southern sheriffs. For example, Chuck Wright is, you know, most of the time when he gets on camera, whatever, he talks about God. He talks about a lot of the basics and the foundations of what America kind of was built on. Right. This is what sheriffs in a lot of southern counties are. This is what they represent. They're not all.
Starting point is 00:22:35 There are a lot of corrupt sheriff. that portray that, I guess you can say, or try to portray it. There's a lot of corrupt sheriffs in the South as well. But what I can tell you is, is that, you know, in Spartanburg County and a lot of the counties in the South, it's just not handled the same way. If you are from California or Chicago or New York or some of these other bigger cities, things are not handled here the same way to where they just let you go. They let you go loot.
Starting point is 00:22:59 They let you go break in all these businesses and in places. And that's why I think Sheriff Chuck Wright, when they ask him, hey, we, you know, know, we, yeah, we do need help, but we also just can't let anyone going through businesses and buildings. He said, we got to vet you. We can't just let strangers in here. We don't want looters. We're going to vet you. And if you want to help, once we vet you, then, yeah, go to work. That's what he was saying. I, in my opinion, I don't see anything wrong with the message he sent. What we were seeing, all of us were seeing was FEMA was not doing their job. That's what we saw with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of videos.
Starting point is 00:23:37 People are saying they are turning us away. We have like truckloads of supply. They're turning us away. They had supplies on ground. They had some kind of weird helicopter come down and ruin all the supplies. I'm telling you, there's something wrong with this situation. And Chuck had to come back and say, okay, well, we can't go after him. But I don't think he said, it's kind of the same thing with President Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Did President Trump ever say, go in storm the Capitol on January 6th? No, he didn't. No. It's the same thing. And now Chuck is facing all this stuff. The backlash, yeah. Yeah, and he's not even said anything. Yeah, here was also NBC that pushes Washington Post story of an email claiming armed militias were hunting FEMA.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I want to play this quick clip from national media. This is what your mother or father might see if they're elderly on their either morning news, or nightly news. This is what they're going to hear about what's actually going on, supposedly, allegedly going on in North Carolina. Here you go. Concerns have led to a setback for hurricane recovery efforts in hard hit North Carolina. Over the weekend, some federal emergency workers were forced to pause their work
Starting point is 00:24:51 after an armed militia made threats. That's according to the Washington Post. NBC's Kathy Park joins us now from Asheville this morning with details on this one. Kathy, good morning. Hey, Craig, good morning to you. after weeks of misinformation and false reports about the federal government's response here in North Carolina. Things have taken a dangerous turn. In fact, over the weekend, FEMA officials releasing a statement saying that they have made operational adjustments to protect staff. This morning, growing safety fears for government workers in Western North Carolina, supporting ongoing recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene.
Starting point is 00:25:28 According to the Washington Post, an urgent message was sent to numerous federal agencies on Saturday. warning FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County, North Carolina, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately, adding that National Guard troops had come across trucks of armed militia, saying they were out hunting FEMA. NBC News has not seen the email cited by the post, and it's unclear whether the threat mentioned was seen as credible. North Carolina Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards addressing the reported threats on MSNBC. We had two counties with folks reported with different militia groups attacking and threatening FEMA. In a statement to NBC News, FEMA writing in part for the safety of her dedicated staff and disaster survivors we are helping, FEMA has made some operational adjustments. According to the agency, disaster recovery centers remained open.
Starting point is 00:26:24 But at least two counties said FEMA staff would not appear at other planned location Sunday, with officials in Ash County saying the agency had paused their process as a precaution as they are assessing the threats. That included a temporary halt on accepting some aid applications. The heightened tension with FEMA's response to Helene has been fueled in recent days by misinformation, amplified in part by former President Trump. Kamala spent all her FEMA money billions of dollars on housing for illegal migrants. There you go. There is the clip. And obviously, number one, they're talking about Trump. Number two, they're talking about armed militias. Now, you have to ask yourself, are they utilized in this situation to now try to demonize militias? If we know anything about militias, and this is going out to any law enforcement officer out there listening or whatever the case may be, we know for a fact that at the very least, militias are protected in our Constitution of the United States of America. And militias are, in fact, Act protected to defend the citizens against government. That's not to say, obviously, that it is right to go out and hunt federal employees like
Starting point is 00:27:34 FEMA in a situation like a Hurricane Helene disaster recovery and relief effort. That is not what a militia should do or be utilized in any way, shape, or form for. But what my opinion is, is that the mainstream media and the left are trying their ass off to run with this story about militias. And you might ask yourself why. Yep. Why would they do that? Well, let me tell you why they would do that.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Did you guys hear about the recent U.S. Congress that introduced Preventing Private Paramilitary Act of 2024, which is also known as the PPPA? We've talked about this on the podcast before. Two or more people, right? Well, I think it's three or more. Three more. But we're about to find out. So this bill spearheaded by Senator Ed.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Markey and Representative Jamie Raskin, which are Democrats, aimed to address the rise of an authorized armed paramilitary groups. It was introduced in response to events like the January 6th Capitol attack and concerns over groups such as the proud boys and oathkeepers. The bill targets specific actions rather than memberships in these groups. It prohibits activities like armed public patrolling or drilling, interfering with government proceedings or constitutional rights, falsely impersonating law enforcement, engaging in or training for violent paramilitary techniques.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Now, the law aims to fill gaps in federal regulations on private militias. While some states have laws against private militias, they're often outdated or under-enforced. The PPPA introduces civil and criminal penalties for violators, and it allows individuals or the Department of Justice to seek legal action against those engaging in paramilitary activities. Importantly, it does not prevent lawful groups like church security teams from operating within legal boundaries as long as they do not engage in a prohibited conduct. The bill's goal is to prevent armed groups from threatening democracy and public safety while still respecting constitutional rights like lawful gun ownership.
Starting point is 00:29:37 But what they don't understand about constitutional rights is that a militia, a well-regulated militia, is protected under constitutional rights. And if you go further into this bill and what it talks about is they believe that anyone training with firearms over three people, is a militia and they could charge people. If you say, say that you're out there with three, four,
Starting point is 00:29:59 five of your family members or friends that are out there shooting. Maybe you're training. Maybe you're doing things to protect your, your compound, your house, your whatever it is. That would be considered illegal if this bill ever came to pass. So you,
Starting point is 00:30:14 excuse me, sorry. So you have to ask yourself, is the Western North Carolina Hurricane Helene stories on the armed militias? Are they, also geared to tack on to a lot of what we're hearing. This is yet, by the way, I'm playing a couple things because we're going to get to a few things,
Starting point is 00:30:31 but this was another report. Man, this militia-threatening FEMA story has fallen apart quickly, but listen to what this reporter had to say today. It's important to note that even in this case, initially reported claims of a truckload of militia threatening workers were not accurate, with the sheriff's office determining that Parsons acted alone.

Starting point is 00:30:55 High Witness News. Oh, really? Weird. So the National Guard saying there were truckloads of militias that were going around hunting female workers. And now all of a sudden it is a one-man show. Yeah. We'll get to the one-man show in just a little bit. But before we get to that, we have to actually get to, and I believe I do have this pulled up.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Let me just check and make sure. So here is Sheriff Chuck Wright on after his video went viral. He, I guess, was interviewed again. Again, and this is what he had to say when he said he was not apologizing. Let's listen. Since my other Vita, he's being up on everybody. City service people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I can tell you, Jeff and I will agree, we've seen a lot of guide sightings up here. It takes something like this for people to come together and be good to people, but to shift, put it for a Republican. Just tell us where you need it. Are you up there in your official sheriff capacity? Are you just up there as a volunteer? I know you've been up there the past couple days. A little bit of bugs. I'm doing whatever the sheriff tells me to do.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Okay. He's been a blessing. He's been a blessing. I appreciate his expertise and experienced sheriff. I've been by my side. And to us, we've never dealt with anything to this magnitude. And, you know, any advice and something like it is, it's very appreciative. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It's a team effort, you know. Everybody says with us, North Carolina. And I'm like, it doesn't matter. We just want to help you. Yeah. Sheriff, I do have to ask you just because we've had folks call and email into the newsroom. I mean, you hit on it on that video. The first question, when you were asked about your message to the White House, you said,
Starting point is 00:33:39 there nothing more than a boat anchor? Can you just elaborate on that? I should have elaborated then, but the FEMA organization is so organized when you say, Sheriff, and I agree with a good man and women that live up here. Are you seen them? Some folks are writing and upset over you calling her. that lady, you know, what would you say to the folks who are upset about that? Okay, well, I didn't say anything negative about her. So let me say, Madam, Vice President,
Starting point is 00:34:40 as you've done a good job of getting people on the ground here, and I don't know if I'm sure would you agree, they just haven't done a good job of getting people on the ground to help people. And the people we've talked to with in this region have talked about applying for it. They did it like they're supposed to. They followed the instructions, and they get to turn down for it. And some people I've heard say stuff like this is a slap in the face, giving all the money to other countries. You know, how about taking care of us first? Back up and make no apologies.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Whoever's in charge with this. Just want them to think that's what's going on right now. Oh, there's another storm that get in Florida, so I know the tension is divided, but, you know, there are people here that don't even have homes anymore. It's kind of a slap in the face with the $750. That's what I'm here. Yeah, we don't care what you politics are.
Starting point is 00:35:52 We just want what he was kind of going toward us. Money's been shipped off to other countries where we need it here. They escaped on, and some of them got a risked in our body. He was kind of a citizen owns a business up in Chimley Rock, and basically they have a $500,000 loan. They have actually two businesses that they pretty much lost, and they took flood insurance. So, you know, they don't know what they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:36:50 My last question for you, you know, obviously that video, like you said, kind of went viral. Do you think statements, the statements in that video, do you think they're helping the recovery and the relief efforts? Yes, people's attention. That's what I was trying to do. In help up here, people are working well together. As Sheriff of Rutherford County, I couldn't be more pleased on the efforts.
Starting point is 00:37:19 There's a lot of work got done here of what needs to be taken care of. And the construction people has come in. We've all worked together. Just being great. All right. So that was Sheriff Chuck. right and by the way sorry i think i confused that earlier he is the sheriff of rutherford county not ellenberg uh sheriff ellenberg from rutherford county but as they're just saying here in the second
Starting point is 00:37:50 interview post the viral interview with sheriff chuck right he's saying that you know we are talking that they do have phima here but the reality of the situation is is that a lot of these people feel like 750 dollars a freaking slap in the face um they're not getting approved in a lot of cases as many people, by the way, we heard when we were in the mountains, we're not also getting approved for this $750. And I think what you really take from this is that mountain people and just people to South and people that are true Americans, they stand up and stick up for their own. And when the government comes in and tries to act like they are the saviors, they're just not.
Starting point is 00:38:25 All right. So with that said, I want to get into what, when we're talking about the FEMA money and sending money to Ukraine instead of our own citizens. and by the way, our link in to her audio just went out. So we're going to play their sooner mic. You guys should still be able to hear it. But I want to play what Peter Ducey was asking Kiyong, John Pierre, about how do we not have money for what's actually going on in Western North Carolina and Hurricane Helene, but we somehow have money for Ukraine. I'm sorry, let me make sure I put this up here.
Starting point is 00:39:01 This is weird because I'm having to do this like the early. days of our podcast, but here is what Peter Ducey said. Let's head to the White House. Peter Ducey is asking questions of Kareenjohn Pierre. Let's listen. Tom, who are wrongfully detained and held hostage. And again, frankly, we've had an extraordinary record of doing just that. And that's going to be the president's top priority.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And on this issue of frustration has money to send to Lebanon, does have to have money to send to people. Here's what I'm going to be very clear about. The president and the vice president has had a robust whole of government responses. Hundreds of millions of dollars. I said it at the top, more than $200 million that we have directly put towards survivors here for disaster help. And that's because of this president's commitment to make sure that we are there for communities that are impacted. We take this very seriously again.
Starting point is 00:40:09 We take this very seriously. Before the hurricane hit, we pre-positions more than 1,500 federal folks on the ground to help. And so we have made sure that every state has gotten their storm requested emergency declaration. They requested it, and we made sure they received it. We've taken this very seriously. More than $200 million that we have provided to the impacted areas. but instead people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous, which is dangerous. Because then when folks on the ground hear that, they may not want to ask for the help that they need.
Starting point is 00:40:52 That is there for them. That is there for them. That's our focus here. But President Biden is fond of saying, show your budget and I will tell you what you value. If he's got money for people in Lebanon right now without Congress having to come back, What does it say about his values? There's not enough money right now for people in North Carolina. That's not misinformation. Wait. No, that is.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir. What you don't, yes, yes, it's misinformation. I just mentioned, I just mentioned, I just mentioned to you that we provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area. And I just shared with you that people are deciding not to, people are deciding not to, Not tweet. We're talking about the SBA disaster loan. That's money for people in North Carolina. And that's important.
Starting point is 00:41:45 And people in North Carolina need that. Wait, this is nothing new. Peter, this is nothing new. Congress comes together. They provide money millions of dollars for disaster relief. We're asking them to do the job that they have been doing for some time. I'm doing some time. I'm doing some time.
Starting point is 00:42:04 The president's letter is not misinformation. Would you agree? No, the way you're asking me the question is misinformation. There is money that we are allocating to the impacted areas, and there's money there to help people who truly need it. There are survivors who need the funding, who need the funding, and it's there. You don't like misinformation. I said that, I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene
Starting point is 00:42:30 and also Hurricane Milton. Now, there's going to be a shortfall, right? because we don't know how bad it's Hurricane Milton is going to be. And so we're going to need additional funding. We're going to need additional funding. That's exactly what I just asked about. And you said it was misinformation. What you're asking me is why Congress needs to come back and do their job.
Starting point is 00:42:52 That's what you're asking me. Congress needs to come back and do their job and provide an extra assistance, extra funding to disaster relief fund. That's what Congress needs to do. So that is what Kiyang John Pierre said. When Peter Ducey was asking, how do you have money for Lebanon and all these countries without Congress, in a lot of cases, especially emergency money.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And you don't even have money for Western North Carolina and the storm victims that have lost everything. They have nothing. And so when this gaslighting, where we talk about the actual funding from many of the bills they have passed, especially the FEMA funds, which has spent over $1 billion on the illegal immigrants that have come into our country, whether it be sitting them on airplanes across the country, giving them, be these debit cards giving them cell phones giving them housing and and and and literally just renting out the entire either apartment complexes or hotels or whatever the case is this is where the money went this is why they said or keong john pierre right here in the end said well we don't necessarily
Starting point is 00:43:58 have money for that which is why we got to do guy and and and peter do you see is like do you not understand that's literally what i just ask you and you're saying my question is misinformation. It's absurd what we are actually hearing. All right. So now before we get to the big reveal, whether there are militias actually hunting FEMA members or FEMA workers, I want to get to this guy's video about FEMA and militias in Western North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Listen to what he has to say. He's been volunteering in Western North Carolina for quite some time now. This is his thoughts on the situation. FEMA and militias in Western North Carolina. So, FEMA is there, but in a very limited capacity. They, I was all over those mountains, and I had very, very little interaction with FEMA. The, they are confiscating goods if they are found at a public property. when Restoration Church first went up there, they were at a town hall because the mayor had asked them to come and bring goods.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And FEMA showed up and was trying to take all the truckloads of supplies that they had brought. And of course, they refused. then they moved to a different location, ended up finding a church to partner with, and FEMA is not allowed to confiscate goods from a 501c3. So that's how we found a way around that. That being said, FEMA did provide temporary housing for a resident that we helped. They were only able to do that because we repaired this man's driveway and cut our way into the area where his house was because there were so many trees out and stuff like that. So basically FEMA told him like, hey, we have temporary housing for you, but you've got to get all of this cleared. So we were able to rebuild his driveway and get that cleared so he could get temporary housing.
Starting point is 00:46:31 So FEMA is not all bad. There's a lot of people in FEMA who want to help. That being said, I personally know somebody in FEMA in North Carolina, and her team still, to this day, has not been activated. So anyone telling you that FEMA is there in a big way? is just lying to you because we have FEMA units in North Carolina still not activated. So that's just a lie. I had a couple teams stopped by FEMA and told they couldn't go in certain places. We found a way around that by getting in contact with some generals.
Starting point is 00:47:19 So, yeah, I think that they think they're helping. but in a lot of ways they're hindering the people who are actually doing the work. But like I said, there's a place for them. I think if they came in with a lot more funding, they could have done a lot more good. So they're not all bad. But let's move on to militias. There's rumors of militias all over the mountains, and they're threatening FEMA and keeping FEMA from doing work. and all this stuff, I haven't seen not a single one.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Like I said, I have been all over the mountains for the past week, miles and hundreds of miles. Not a single militia in sight. Do not believe those rumors. I wonder to myself if it's just an excuse that people are coming up with for why FEMA hasn't responded in a big way. but either way from take it from boots on the ground there's no militias there
Starting point is 00:48:28 it's not a thing there is looting we helped a fire department in Batcave that was looted completely stripped bare we took them two huge truckloads of supplies and our
Starting point is 00:48:45 team on the ground is still working with them for the Batcave area doing finding cutoff communities and aid delivery and and a whole bunch of stuff with them. So just don't believe everything you hear. Ask somebody who's been there on the ground. And if you guys have any questions, I'd be happy to answer. There you go.
Starting point is 00:49:10 That was a clip I wanted to play because, you know, as you hear these reports of people actually on the ground in West North Carolina. And going back to, by the way, the mainstream media report. courts, including Newsweek, a massive, massive media organization and platforms like NBC and some of these major platforms that ran with this militia story. And in that, they're talking about National Guard has encountered armed militia groups and trucks that are going and hunting FEMA members. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:40 This is nuts. Why are they saying this? And do we have confirmation in which we're about to get to? Yeah. And we also have the release of Rutherford. police saying what actually happened. Yeah, absolutely, we do. Yeah, is that they're obviously in this for some type of agenda, right?
Starting point is 00:49:59 They know that, you know, like the guy said, maybe they're saying this to kind of counter how bad they have been during the response to Hurricane Helene because this is election here. We're 20 days now from the election. And you have Kamala Harrison, the Biden regime that is in charge of the responses right now. Yeah. And you have to watch the. hundreds of videos.
Starting point is 00:50:20 You've got to see the sheriffs out there. You've got to see the people out there. You know, people don't just lie altogether. This is not one big lie. They're definitely unorganized. They're not doing their job. Maybe they're doing their job better, but it's like two weeks too late. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 So Aaron Ellenberg, the sheriff of Rutherford County and the sheriff's department released a statement as of yesterday. And it said on October 12th, 2024, the Rutherford County Communications Center received a call at approximately 12.54 p.m. stating that a white male had an assault rifle and made the comment about possibly harm in FEMA employees the disaster of Hurricane Helene in Lake Llewer and Chimney Rock area. Once deputies of the Rutherford County Sheriff's offer were made aware, the deputies alerted officers with the Lake Ler Police Department and other law enforcement officers from other agencies helping with the relief efforts. A deputy went to the location of where the threat was made, which was located in Polk County and obtained to more information. The deputy was able to get a color of the vehicle. The subject was driving and passed a vehicle color along to all law enforcement agencies working.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Approximately an hour later to the Sheriff's Office received information regarding the tag of the suspect vehicle. After additional information was obtained by law enforcement and was able to identify the suspect. The suspect was identified as William Jacob Parsons, 44 years old white male of Bostic, North Carolina. Parsons was arrested and charged with going armed to the. terror of the public. Parsons was armed with a handgun and a rifle. Now Parsons was transported to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Detention Center where he was charged and presented to the magistrate. Parsons received a $10,000 secured bond. Parsons made bond with and released later the same day from the Rutherford County Detention Center.
Starting point is 00:52:09 The initial report stated that there was a truck load of militia that was involved. However, after further investigation, it was determined that Parsons acted a And there was no truckloads of militia going to Lake Lour at all. So obviously the mainstream media effort to try to make you believe that militias are going in hunting FEMA employees, not allowing them to do their jobs. And even the mainstream media said, oh, well, we're having to pull back efforts. We're having to do all this stuff because we can't be there because these armed militias, which supposedly the North Carolina National Guard said that they encountered armed militias in trucks.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah. With, I mean, truckloads of them. This is insane, right? This is what propaganda is, guys. This is what lies are. And although we do not 100% know, or is FEMA trying to cover their ass because of the horrific response?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Because we know, we have to like say it and we got to put it out there. They did not do the greatest job. Of Hurricane Haleem. They just didn't. No, they absolutely did not. And the reality of the situation is, you know, this is what.
Starting point is 00:53:18 they want to do. They want to propagandize malicious. They want to propagandize Donald Trump. This is an election year, unfortunately. And Donald Trump and both Kamala Harris are going to utilize the disaster of Hurricane Helene for their benefits, whether it be one side or the other. Trump's going to utilize it and try to get in there and try to say, hey, we're working with Elon Musk to provide Starlings and all this stuff. And also, Trump has been very critical of the government's response, as are many citizens in Western North Carolina and sheriffs and all the other ones, including Chuck Wright, they're being very critical of the response and what they're actually seeing on the ground.
Starting point is 00:53:54 As you heard the guy's video, we just played you. He's been all over the mountains. He's not seen any FEMA employees for the most part at all. Most of the FEMA employees are not activated. There are tons of people, by the way, that, whether it be National Guard or pilots or whoever, that go there with either supplies, helicopters, resources, and supplies. that they are not able to actually get in anywhere. Heavy D. Sparks, which he actually runs the channel HeavyD's YouTube.
Starting point is 00:54:25 If you guys can go check him out, they do tons of recovery efforts and, like, relief efforts for various disasters or downed airplanes or whatever. They do that in a large, large way on YouTube. And he said a lot of people were like, hey, why did you not go help out in Western North Carolina? You guys have a Black Hawk helicopter. you have all these helicopters you have tons of resources why did you not go do that and he says the more we talk to people there on the ground which we actually you know they knew people on the ground right helicopter pilots that they actually got in there uh what we determined and this is what he said
Starting point is 00:55:01 is that we would probably not have been utilized we would have showed up with all these supplies all of these um you know vehicles or helicopters or whatever and we would have set there probably not actually being able to help the situation on standby. And so, and I think that's a big problem as well. The coordination is lackluster. The government, if anything, should be coordinating all efforts to try to help the most amount of people.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah. And at the very least, this is what they felt. Yeah. And they got to figure out, you know, you're going to have volunteers that want to help their fellow man. And you got to put them in this situation. Yeah. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I just think that everything was on hold and nothing was being done. No, it was a shit show. I mean, this is exactly what this entails. higher response has been. And even in Florida, Hurricane Milton, there's still tons of people without power. We actually have an interview coming up at some point in time where our interviewee, which we will get to hopefully soon, you know, he still, I believe, does not have power or internet connection.
Starting point is 00:56:02 We still have tons of people in the upstate of South Carolina that either mostly don't have internet now, but, you know, there are still some people without power. There are quite a few people in Western North Carolina that do not have power. but the reality it says Sheriff Chuck Wright released a third video where I think he released this yesterday. He released it on the Sheriff's Department's website and social media. And this is what he said in response to the militia thing now because I believe that a lot of people are going to him and saying you cause a lot of this because of your viral interview with the Fox News reporter. Yeah. And now there's this militia named William Parsons.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Yeah. One person. One guy. Yeah. So this is what Sheriff Chuck Wright had to. say in a recent video. Good afternoon, everybody. I just got off the phone with Sheriff
Starting point is 00:56:50 Eric Bloomberg from the Rutherford County. And he made me aware that there's some Facebook stuff going around about some, quote, militia that might be planning on threatening FEMA or anybody up in that area try to discourage them from some of the stuff
Starting point is 00:57:08 they've been here on Facebook. Well, he and I agree, and we talked, you're not going to do that. You're going to be met with so much resistance. You're never, never allowed, encouraged, or any of that stuff to be bothering any of the FEMA people. Now, did we feel like FEMA was doing the right thing at first? Not at all. However, there's a process to all this. You know, since the last video I put out, it went viral, and I don't know who heard what, but things are getting better now. So FEMA is actually trying to get in order, I guess you would say. So some of the people
Starting point is 00:57:46 that were turned down, and I talked to personally people from Rutherton County when I was up there helping Sheriff Ellenberg. And everyone at first was saying, no, no, they're not helping. They keep rejecting their things, whatever. So after the video went out, FEMA, you know, got busy, I guess. I don't know if it was the video or just the process of it. But either way, my message to you is there's a guy called Bob the Builder. I don't know this guy. I'll put him on this Facebook thing, and Sheriff Ellenberg has already dealt with him.
Starting point is 00:58:22 You are not, I'm not asking you. You're not going to bother the federal workers that are up there doing their thing. Because the people on the ground up there may not have all the answers, but you remember they got bosses too. Now, we don't always agree with how things are running the federal government or the state or the local county government.
Starting point is 00:58:42 But there is a process to this. But my words to you are, there will not be. And I don't think there is a militia. This is one guy trying to get some people together. So I'm telling you, I'm not encouraging you. I'm telling you, you will not mess with any of the federal employees at all. You don't have to agree with them. You don't have to like them.
Starting point is 00:59:05 You don't have to talk to them. But you are not going to threaten them. And you're certainly not going to impede their work while they're in that devastated area up there, trying to get things back to normal. So my message to you is, Sheriff Ellenberg and I talk, and if I have to send deputies up there to back him up, we stand at the ready to come up there, and we'll come to the mountains and hunt you down. You're not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:59:27 So leave the people. You can have bad thoughts about them. You can do whatever you want. You can pray about it if you want to. But you best not mess with none of these FEMA people, because these FEMA people go on just like you do. They got families and they got people that care about them and they're just doing their job. Now, if you've got a problem with how they're doing their thing, there's a process to it. Get online, tell the people above them what you need and what you expect of them.
Starting point is 00:59:53 But this thing going around on Facebook about some militia trying to get a hold of the FEMA people, there's a lot of hot air. There's not a militia going around that me and the sheriff are aware of. But I felt like making this video in case you're thinking about it. You will not. You will not be resting easy if you mess with any of these people. The National Guard is up there, and they're doing a great job. I think FEMA's actually got some things in order now.
Starting point is 01:00:21 You know, so good for them. But my message to you and wholeheartedly is you are not going to impede. You're not going to mess with. And stop with all this stuff talking about FEMA's trying to confiscate everything. They're trying to get organized. Now, should they have been organized at the beginning? I think they should have been way organized before now. This is a pretty big undertaking that these men and women are having to do.
Starting point is 01:00:46 They're away from their families just like you and I are. So my message to you is you will not mess with any of the federal employees. You will not say anything to discourage them. You can bring them water. You can take them food and you can pray for them. But other than that, it best not mess with them. All right. So that's Sheriff Chuck Wright's last.
Starting point is 01:01:07 video in relation to the FEMA thing. So I have some things to say about this video, right? This video is something that, you know, it almost sounds like in some ways to me, and I know this sounds weird. Listen, I agree with him on a lot of this, right? We should not be having militias to hunt down FEMA employees. I actually have a close cousin that is a high-up FEMA employee. And she stays in hotels for months and months and months.
Starting point is 01:01:35 She's told me the stories. Yeah. She goes to hurricane relief and helps people. Yeah. Yeah. But I just want to make sure also that in the, in light of this situation, with the FEMA slash militia storyline that's going through the internet on mainstream media that's being pushed to every single household in the entirety of the United States, everything that we've heard about the FEMA militia story has been
Starting point is 01:02:01 mostly lies. And this has been going on for three days. if you want dangerous, dangerous misinformation, that is what we have heard on mainstream media. Yes. That's what we've heard for three days now to where they're saying that FEMA is having to pull back because of militias. And as you heard Sheriff Chuck right here saying is that there are no militias. Although he kind of started this interview off a little different by saying if you're thinking about militias, he's trying to get people together, this and that. But this is one dude.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Bob the builder. William Parson. Yeah, I guess his name is Bob DeBuilder. That's his little code name. And listen, and by the way, you know, even with our last episode we did about the, what was it, third Trump assassination suspect. And when you start hearing that storyline of what actually happened with all that, we don't even know. We don't even know that Bob DeBilder dude here, Parson.
Starting point is 01:02:55 We don't even know that he actually was, you know, they're telling the story that he was armed and all this stuff. He had two weapons. First of all, you have a right to be. armed as long as you know you're not a felon according to state law and so on and so forth you have a right to be armed you can have an ar-15 you can have a glock you can have a shotgun you can have all these various things and so they've not necessarily said how he was armed also i would like to hear the evidence of what his threats were and who heard them and all of this because it just stinks to me when we start hearing about this armed militia that the newsweek in mainstream media ran with
Starting point is 01:03:32 this story that National Guard troops encountered truckloads of militia members that were armed and ready to go take out FEMA members. There's obviously a lie in a propaganda here. And so whereas, you know, someone like in Sheriff Chuck Wright's position as the sheriff of a big county, you know, I think in this last interview, in my opinion, I think he's going a little too far on one side of the fence because maybe he's getting told all these things, but how many of those things are true? And that's what we don't know. And, you know, yes, that is why we have a podcast like this. We have a podcast to discuss, to expose, to seek the truth
Starting point is 01:04:15 and what's actually going on. And that's where we have to be good at doing this. And the very best at trying to do this, because there is tons of misinformation. The government right now is on this rampage to try to take away your freedom of speech. They are on a path to try to take away every single right you have, in my opinion. They want to take away your guns. They want to take away your ability to talk against them. They want to take away all of these things. Even we've talked about how a lot of places in the country are releasing violent criminals back on the streets.
Starting point is 01:04:48 But the people, you know, if you are pro-American or you are a patriot of your country, you're going to get a mugshot. But if you are a criminal, you're going to be released on the streets in a lot of these big cities. And so, yes, our government has to be held accountable. We got to do that in the right way until, you know. But guess what? William Parson is just like us. He thinks the same things we do. He thinks about the Constitution, your Second Amendment right.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I don't understand what happened. I don't know what threats he made. But when you look into his past or his profiles, he is definitely a Republican. Well, but it doesn't matter. He's probably more of a libertarian. And, you know, the way they want to betray people now is that if you have a problem with the government, you speak out against the government, you are a terrorist. You are a domestic terrorist. And that's what they want to betray you as.
Starting point is 01:05:42 And, you know, for a podcast like ours, listen, I can tell you this right now. If our government was operating in the way that it should be for the American people, we would not even exist right now probably. Right. We would not be on this podcast. No. I mean, and especially with the amount of topics that we can constantly. talk about on a daily basis, we would not even exist if our government told us the truth. I mean, we wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Because what would we be talking about? We'd have to go to Russia or North Korea or somewhere else for conspiracy theories of how the government is screwing the people. And most conspiracy theories, whether people realize them or not, are predominantly around politics and the government. And most of them are becoming true. Yeah. So obviously you have stories like UFOs.
Starting point is 01:06:27 You have stories like the first. flat earth and I'm not even going to go into the flat earth stuff, but you have all these various conspiracy theories, right? You even go back biblically and prophecy and you have all the end time stuff and that's not necessarily a conspiracy theory unless you are an atheist, then you believe that's a conspiracy theory. But there are actual things right now that are going on that are going to affect us in the months to come. And I'm talking about this election is one of the most important times of our lives. What is going on right now with how the government is responding to disasters, how they are treating the American.
Starting point is 01:06:59 people, how they are classifying the American people in most cases as terrorists. If you are pro-America, pro the Constitution, pro the Second Amendment, pro all of your rights. You are a terrorist. But if you are an illegal immigrant, you get a visa, you get a phone, you get an airplane ride to wherever you want. You get house for free. Yeah, in a hotel for free, anywhere you want to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:23 But if you are an American patriot or you are a veteran, someone that has fought for your country, has been injured for your country, has had PTSD. Those are the people that they do not give a shit about. And they're living intense. Yeah, you're homeless. You homeless with no care, with no affordability of the government's billions of dollars they send to other countries. And in the event that you just happen to find yourself in a disaster stricken area like
Starting point is 01:07:50 Western North Carolina, parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, the government's not necessarily really going to be there for you. And the fact that, yes, there is a $750 claim. This is what you got a claim for. And it's absurd when you look at how much money our government sends to foreign freaking countries. And that includes Israel. That includes Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:08:12 That includes wherever else. NATO. And many people are getting denied for the 750. By the way. Absolutely. And they still are. Yeah. I went on that website just to see what was happening.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I applied for it because we were in the area of Hurricane Hill. Yeah. You just want to say them. whatever. So I was just wanted to go see what was happening and what people were saying. And they get denied right away and say, oh, well, we will give you a hotel, though. Yeah. Here's a hotel.
Starting point is 01:08:38 And that happened to your mom, too. Yeah. And then they say, but you're denied on everything else. Yeah. Yeah. And then obviously you have, when it comes to politics, you have people like this random Texas, Paul Schroeder. They're going to heavily utilize this entire story with the militias and all this stuff. I want you to hear this very quick clip about what he's saying about the armed militias and how he's going to utilize this and how the left is utilizing this for their campaign efforts for Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Listen. Morning. Our militias are hunting FEMA employees in North Carolina. The National Guard has had to protect them and move them so that they cannot do their job in some areas. because there are nuts that believe the rhetoric put out by Donald Trump, Maga, and Russian paid operatives here on social media. Folks, you need to get out. You need to vote.
Starting point is 01:09:45 Vote early. Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. And we need to end these traitorous, sorry bastards once and for all. There we go. And this is what the left is. doing. They're utilizing this fake story, just like Russia collusion, just like when they spied on Trump campaign, just like when they went after Trump in New York for fraud, although the appellate court is going to strike that down, although more than likely, the appellate court,
Starting point is 01:10:17 from what we heard from last week, the appellate court basically told the attorneys for the Democrats, and they said, guys, you are walking a very fine line to get sanctioned. and because the shit that you brought against Trump that has never been brought, there's no victims. Even the banks came to Donald Trump's defense in this case in the appellate matter. Yeah. And now they're freaking out. Yeah, they're freaking out.
Starting point is 01:10:39 They're begging basically not to sanction them. Thank God. And so this is what we're facing, guys. It is a warfare right now. It is all out warfare. Now, you got to ask yourself, will this get better after November? After the November elections? No, it's not going to get better.
Starting point is 01:10:56 it's going to get worse. And regardless of what happens, whether Kamala Harris is quote unquote elected, I would say probably installed if that actually happens. But whatever, you can make your own. Well, she's already installed. Yeah, you can only. Yeah, she is. I mean, she already is installed by the Democrats as a Democrat nominee.
Starting point is 01:11:14 And so they've already surpassed or I guess circumvented the actual Democrat process of nominating a presidential candidate for a party. They've already done that. So what makes you think they're not going to do that? that in the actual election. Right. You know, that's something you've got to ask yourself. Even, for example, I believe it was Virginia recently that was taken off illegal voters on
Starting point is 01:11:37 their, their balloting. And now the Department of Justice or whoever it is, you have to look this up. I can't verify exactly what this is. I don't have it right in front of me, but they're suing Virginia or whatever the state is that are taken off illegal voters on their ballots. Now, it doesn't necessarily mean that these people are illegal voters as in they came over illegally as immigrants. That could also be the case.
Starting point is 01:11:59 But I think at the very least, they are illegal in terms of they did not qualify to be on ballots, to be able to vote. So whether that be, you know, address things and whatever the case may be, the government is suing the state to be able to keep those people on the ballots. And the reason you might ask yourself, even if they're not illegal, is that Virginia is trying to take off. This creates case law. Which means that if this passes, and it could even pass to where they could battle things after the election by saying that, oh, well, we had, you know, we had 10 million illegals vote.
Starting point is 01:12:38 And look, but here's our case law that says, no, you're not allowed to take this off. We let it happen. Yeah. This is a warfare, guys. This is a battle that we are underway in the United States of America. And make no mistake when we hear things about Hurricane Helene. We hear these fake stories about militias. and make absolutely no mistake.
Starting point is 01:12:57 This was a fake story. The militia hunting FEMA is fake. It is debunked. It is bullshit. They want everyone to believe that. I guarantee you if I go ask my mom or your mom or whoever else right now. Hey, did you hear about militias and FEMA? Oh, yeah, they're hunting them down.
Starting point is 01:13:13 And by the way, are they going to hear this podcast to actually see the truth? Yeah, to see the truth. They're going to say no. No, they're still out there. They're hunting them. Yes, and that's all they need to know. And there are Trumpers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:26 And the reality of this is, is that they just need the headlines and the story out long enough. If it's two days, mainstream media picks it up like NBC did, we posted earlier. I think ABC, BBC, all of them have picked it up. They've all picked it up. Yeah. It's been all over everything for two days. That's all they need.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Now, whether or not NBC and all these others go and retract these statements, they will. They will do it on their websites. but they're not going to do it on the nightly news. Not in the air. No, they're not going to do that. They weren't tracked it on their websites and whatever because they know that older crowd and that generation of people that, you know, depend on the nightly news and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:14:07 They know they're not going to their websites and actually freaking trying to find out what actually happened on that story. But as long as they have it on record somewhere, they that they corrected their statement that they went on air on national media. Nobody's going to know that. No one's going to know it. And so that's how this works, guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:25 They create fake narratives. They create fake stories. And that's all they need. It should be election interference. It should absolutely be all these things. Just like the Hunter Biden laptop that the FBI hid because of the Twitter, because of their infiltration of Twitter in the Twitter files where they said, no, you are not going to let this story out. Even though the story was true, they basically told Twitter. If you let this go rampant on social media, we will be on your ass.
Starting point is 01:14:51 And so Twitter basically censored that story. They censor everything that is pro-conservative or pro-right or pro-America. And they prop everything up that is pro-left, pro-Democrat, pro-Nazism, pro-communism, pro-socialism. The list goes on. And so you understand how this stuff works. But we did just want to come on talk about this FEMA militia story. Tomorrow we're probably going to be talking specifically about all of these UFO. foe sightings that we're getting over.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Yeah, it's crazy. But before we go to that, I want to talk about this for just a minute. All of you guys that are going against Chuck Wright, I don't think, in my opinion, he did anything wrong. Do you, John? No. I know. I mean, from his initial interview, no.
Starting point is 01:15:38 I mean, I think Chuck Wright, though, in this case is that, listen, Chuck Wright's been involved in some huge stories over the years, including Todd Colhap, the serial killer with Kayla Brown and that whole thing. If you look that up, you know, he was on national media for that. He's been on national media for quite a few things. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, if you look at that, those are different things because they're not necessarily politically related or, yeah, motivated actually.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah, motivated or related. And so what I can say is, though, I just, if I could tell Chuck write something, just be careful about how far on the other side you go. even if you're not apologizing, just understand that the militia story and all that stuff, first of all, militias are covered in the Constitution of the United States. And to be quite honest with you, the way this government and this country is going, we might really need militias at some point in time. Yeah, we need them.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Yeah. And who knows where that goes, right? We don't know. I do agree with him on all the aspects of militias, absolutely, obviously, should not be hunting federal employees based on their response or whatever the case is. I agree with all that stuff. But they say a militia is three or more people too. Yes, with the new bill.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Yeah. What they're trying to push. And that's all I'm saying. Maybe they're trying to push this new bill through and they're going to hype up this whole militia story with FEMA. And also at the same time, kill two birds and one stolen where they're making the FEMA look better because the storyline in a lot of people's brains, the sheeple brains. Yeah, they had to get the hell out of there because they're being hunted. Yeah, exactly. And so we'll see, we'll see kind of how relevant this story goes going forward as far as, you know, is it going to be a massive correction on mainstream media about the malicious hunting female workers?
Starting point is 01:17:31 Probably not. That's what I'm just saying. And so the storyline will go for many people heading into the election is because of Donald Trump, there were malicious hunting federal employees trying to help out in Hurricane Helene. that is going to be in the storyline of messaging, just like Project 2025 that they all say that Trump is heavily involved in and created and constructed, which he has come out multiple times and said, I have no idea who the hell did this. Some crazy right wing extremist, a group or whatever, did this. And he continually says, I have nothing to do with this.
Starting point is 01:18:07 And yet the left continually says, yes, you do. You constructed this, although it's a complete lie. And so it's going to be the same thing is once the story comes out, it's not going back in. It's never going to go back in. If you had a fair and actual trustworthy news, yes, it could be retracted on a mainstream national level to where every news outlet on nightly news said, guys, we were wrong. This is what actually happened with the militias. It wasn't a militia. It was one dude.
Starting point is 01:18:38 And we got that wrong. But they're never going to do that. And by the way, if you guys can find a nightly news mainstream media piece on mainstream television that retracts that. That says this and retracts it and says it's one man. Yeah. Let me know. Well, I think Newsweek did. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:55 No, they didn't. No. Well, Newsweek don't have a channel on TV. Yeah. That's true. So how are they going to do it? I mean, that's, you know, that's kind of reality. But we're going to close this with riot by blood red sun because it seems like they want us all to riot.
Starting point is 01:19:07 It seems like this was, that's what they're desperately trying for, right? Anyways, we're probably going to be going on to aliens and, well, it's probably not even aliens. It's probably advanced technology. I really want to get Ashton Fords back on for this. We got so many reports of potential crashes of craft over the past few days. We have Langley Air Force Base in Virginia that has had drones over their facility. Pentagon and the government are saying, we know nothing about this. And that actually wouldn't surprise me because we did let a spy balloon traverse the entirety of the
Starting point is 01:19:41 United States and did nothing about it and it was China. So it would not surprise me if we actually have drones from another country that is spying on our military bases. That is how anept our government is and our administration is right now. So if you vote for Kamala Harris, that's what you're going to get. Guys, the next time, we love you. Peace out. Peace out, guys.
