Starting point is 00:00:04 Show me life, show me love, make it change, time is up, but the days won't come. Show me life, show me love. Show me life, show me love. Make you change. Time is up. Hello and welcome to Investigator of Podcast. I'm your host, Chad, alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. episode. We're going to be talking about Hurricane Helene again. This is going to be part two.
Starting point is 00:00:42 We are finally back in the studio. It feels very strange to be back in the studio because we have been without power ourselves since Friday morning. We did release an episode to you guys a couple of days ago. We did that on our phone through the Spricker Create app, which is IHeart. It's one of their new apps. But it worked. It took us like seven hours to be able to upload that. But we did just want to get out of mess to just say, hey, we're okay, but also pray for these people. And the people I'm talking about are everyone, obviously, that was affected by this hurricane. In particular, the people of Western North Carolina, my hometown, my home region, this is where a lot of my family, my friends, the people I went to school with,
Starting point is 00:01:20 people I grew up with. That's where they live. We live, Sherry and I, currently in the upstate of South Carolina, the northwestern part of the state of South Carolina. We were also affected. We have not had power since Friday morning. Just got power back on yesterday. And then our internet went out yesterday. So we were going to do an episode last night but could not do that.
Starting point is 00:01:43 And these are minor things, right? Power, it sucks not having power. It sucks not having some of those comforts of life. But there are literal people in Western North Carolina fighting for their life right now. There are people still that have had no interaction or communication with anybody in the outside world outside of their town because no one has been able to access some of these communities. it is devastating what is happening. It makes you want to do whatever you possibly can to help these people. And hopefully,
Starting point is 00:02:12 Sharon and I are going to be in the mountains this weekend, trying to help whoever we can, however we can. And we're going to start planning that up. On this episode, we're also going to talk about some of the conspiracies going around, right? We are a conspiracy podcast. We've done conspiracies for seven years. And we did not talk a lot about that on our first episode
Starting point is 00:02:31 because I think that was very important just to get the message out that what is going on here and the people that are affected, the people are in dire need. But I do think that at the very least, with all the conspiracies surrounding this, we have to talk about them on this episode. We're going to talk about the lithium or quartz deposits potentially under the actual region. Is this potentially another Maui situation? We're also going to talk about FEMA and the federal government's response, but also it sounds like that potentially they have been confiscating supplies.
Starting point is 00:03:01 We do not know that for sure, but we will at least give you all. all the evidence we know so far. There are so many people right now that are desperately trying to help their fellow neighbor in the mountains of North Carolina. And so much of that is being, I guess, thwarted from the federal government, even including pilots that are trying to deliver goods from all around the United States of America. And a lot of these pilots are having a tough time because they're closing down on the Ashware Airport to where they're having to fly into other airports, a decent ways away from where
Starting point is 00:03:31 the actual situation at hand is, is. This is where the people need the supplies. And yet they're having to fly so far away and then get all of those supplies delivered in into the region. It seems like military is kind of flexing a little bit in that area in Asheville, North Carolina. Military is a national guard. So they close down parts of the airport or a lot of travel to the airport from pilots
Starting point is 00:03:55 outside of the area. Make it a little harder just for people to get supplies. And also on this episode, we're going to be talking to one of our listeners. is a friend of ours. She's also on our telegram chat. She is someone that has, you know, been loyal to us for a very long time. She lost pretty much everything in this. And so we're going to be having a conversation with her.
Starting point is 00:04:17 It'd probably be about an hour from now when we get into that conversation. But we're going to talk about everything tonight. And I got to be honest, it's been tough for us. I mean, we've not had power. And there was basically no grocery stores open. There was no gas stations open. there was nothing open and there are still to this day in our area so many people that do not have power many people do not have access to a lot of basic things in our area but especially western
Starting point is 00:04:45 north carolina where if you think about western north koreland in that situation so many of those people are on well water and so when you don't have power you do not have water with the exception of if you go into a creek and you boil your water or whatever i'll get into my mom's story because we finally got out my mom from the mountain she is now safely on the coast of South Carolina down where my brother lives. So we are very happy that she's out. But Sherry, it's been a trying time, I guess, for us. And not only just for our situation, but just emotionally knowing what everyone else is going through.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Oh, you're so right. It is emotionally hard to handle. And draining. Yeah. And when your life changes so much and is affected so much, your whole mental status changes as well. And, you know, I have to say we are so fortunate to be a life. live right now and to be able to still speak. I mean, it was a very scary storm to be in.
Starting point is 00:05:40 And I know how fortunate we are. And a lot of people did lose their lives. And I feel terrible for them, their families and everything else that's going on up in Western North Carolina. I'm sure a lot of you've seen the videos out there of complete towns demolished. It's just incredible to see places that you visited before and love to go to is no longer there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah. There's Appalachia before Helene and there's Appalachia after Helene. That is going to be Western North Carolina going forward, right? The Western North Carolina will never, ever be the same again. This is the place that Sherry and I go many weekends to see my mom up in the Henderson County area just below Buncombe County. You know, I was actually born in Buckham County in Asheville, North Carolina. This is where a lot of my family is today and still. And so when this when this whole situation happened, obviously,
Starting point is 00:06:34 very devastating, but we didn't really know the extent of how bad it was in Western North Carolina because we were cut off from information for at least four days. And that was one of the hardest things was being cut off. We could not speak. We could not get a message out to you guys. You know, we felt like, number one, that how they responded to this was lackluster at best. I still believe it's lackluster. I mean, the funding is not there.
Starting point is 00:06:59 We'll literally play you a clip in just a little bit of the government themselves saying we don't have funding. We have no longer... It's crazy. Yeah, we no longer have funding for these people. Yeah, and people just don't realize how hard it is to be even without news or even to use your cell phone to tell people, hey, I'm okay, I'm safe. Yeah. It's been very hard because we could not even use our cell phones to even call out for some time. We had no internet.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Our internet is still spotty. That's why we're like, we got to get this out quick in case the internet goes out. Because a lot of people that are getting power on, their power turns back off. It's very shoddy. you know, like finally today, my daughter got her power back on, and within two hours, it's off again. And it's just so like almost heartbreaking and devastating. Because when our power came on, it came on at 1030, I was screaming. I was crying.
Starting point is 00:07:48 We were out in the street. It sounded like New Year's Eve. I'm not kidding. Everyone was outside going. It sounded like a soccer game or New Year's Eve. Everyone was screaming. I was crying. You just don't realize how much your life is a reality.
Starting point is 00:08:03 on to power. Yeah, surrounded by your necessities and the things you're comfortable with. You get so comfortable and take advantage of just the basic necessities of everyday life. And if you're not personally set up for those situations, right, for no power. And that's not the way you live typically. If you're not a homesteader to where you live off grid and this is the way you live, this is the way your life works, when you basically take an entire massive portion of the population and then cut their power,
Starting point is 00:08:33 cut their water, cut their fuel, cut their travel, cut everything off from them. It is disastrous. Now, although, yes, there was many places in upstate South Carolina when the storm first hit for a few days, especially that travel was limited. Gas was extremely limited and it still will be limited in the coming weeks just because of the fact everyone is going to have to kind of real, try to somehow get back into normalcy. The gas stations are going to have to make up for those for that supply and demand situation that we've seen over the past week. But then also obviously in North Carolina,
Starting point is 00:09:10 we're going to get to a lot of that as well. We're having looting that's happening in Western North Carolina on a mass scale, it seems, especially law enforcement is saying that, you know, many law enforcement agencies talking with just people from here and there, a lot of their calls right now are based on robberies, looting, you know, people breaking into homes or or it's just not safe in a lot of cases in west north clana because either people are desperate or it's because people are taking advantage of the situation we see this everywhere we've seen it during the blm riots we've seen it during protest we've seen it during all of these various things i mean we saw this in a hurricane
Starting point is 00:09:51 katrina as well it was a very very dangerous place during hurricane katrina with looting with robberies and all the stuff and it's no different in anywhere you go when when you're completely flip upside down a way of life for such a big portion of the region or of the country, you're going to see these things happen. And just even having air condition, you guys, you don't think about it. But when you have no air flowing in your house and there's no wind outside, it's just stale, stagnant, yucky air. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And it's just, it is. It's pretty miserable. And I'm not trying to complain about it. But you just don't realize how lucky you are. No, for sure. Yeah. And it was decently hot. I mean, they said it was going to be fall like temperatures, but we are in South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:10:33 The mountains, I guess, is a little better as far as temperature goes. Usually the mountains run about 10 degrees cooler than here in South Carolina. But nonetheless, North Carolina has so much bigger issues than temperature or whether their power is on or off, although those things are definitely devastating for them as well because it affects so many things. It affects communications. It affects the ability to be able to get access or communicate to authorities and emergency personnel. There's so many things affected in West North Carolina right now. So here's just the latest.
Starting point is 00:11:05 As of now, the death toll from Hurricane Helene has reached at least 215 people with the most devastating impacts, obviously in Western North Carolina, particularly Bunkum County, where at least 72 deaths have been confirmed. More than 600 people remain unaccounted for, primarily due to severe flooding and landslides that have cut off access to many areas. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, but the number of missing is expected to decrease. as isolated communities regain communication, they say. Now, additionally, parts of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia have also experienced significant devastation with widespread power outages and infrastructural damage. Now, I want to get to this first clip, and as I said, we're going to get into some of the conspiracy aspects of this, but I want to start with this clip first. Let's listen. I don't know about what with y'all, some things you may not know about what's happening in the North Carolina Mountains.
Starting point is 00:12:00 in the aftermath of Helene. Here's number one. If you have friends or family that are headed into the mountains or who live there, the looting has picked up major steam. I was advised yesterday by a county sheriff to make sure that anybody out and about
Starting point is 00:12:16 is carrying. And in his words, carrying with the safety off. There are very aggressive people out there. And I'm just going to go ahead and say this. It's not because they're necessarily awful. They're desperate. Desperate people do desperate things, y'all.
Starting point is 00:12:29 and why are they desperate? Because there's no water in some of these communities. We have neighbors in North Carolina with no water. And all I can say is this, the government ain't coming to save you. Not now, not ever, because they don't care about you, the people anymore. It is the citizens who are going to have to step it up. Now, I got to tell y'all, I was floored yesterday about how my community, which is a little over an hour away from the affected areas, showed up at donation sites with water,
Starting point is 00:12:59 diapers and formula and some liquid IV. I mean, y'all brought all kind of things, bleach, vinegar. You are ready to help, and we're going to take more donations today, and we're so grateful for everything, because I'm going to get it into the hands of actual volunteers. And I was asking people, like, why are you bringing it to me? Some of y'all don't even know me. And they said, well, we don't trust the relief organizations anymore. Y'all, we have lost our organizations to grifters. We have lost our organizations to liars. And so we have to rely on each other, because that's this country was built. This country was built, patriot by patriot. And I can tell you this, as a realtor, I know my realtors in the mountains, and I have talked to them, and they know the
Starting point is 00:13:38 neighbors, too. So I am getting your donations into hands that are going to get it into hands, and everybody that sent me dollars, I got teams of shoppers out, and I got receipts to prove it, because we are not grifters. We are neighbors, and the patriots that are in the mountains. If you see this, if your family sees this, hear me now, you are not forgotten by the rest of North Carolina. And if you are not in North Carolina, then there are ways that you can give. But can I just remind y'all of something? You cannot eat money. You cannot drink money. So for those of y'all that thought money was your God, and by the way, that includes our freaking elected officials, it's not your God. Told my girlfriend this morning while we were talking about
Starting point is 00:14:21 this during our run, I said, tell your children. She's got grown children. This is why you keep a stash of water on hand. This is why you keep a stash of food on hand. But for those of y'all that are not affected areas, if you can take your donated items and send it to the mountains, then send it with a friend, make sure you're sending truckload so that we don't overload the roads because our first responders are overwhelmed. By the way, thank you, Governor DeSantis for doing more for North Carolina than North Carolina's governor has. I'm very grateful for your National Guard because we have to help each other, y'all. And I'm going to tell you something. If you will share this with somebody who doesn't know what's happening in North Carolina, they need to know.
Starting point is 00:14:57 They need to know that there are entire towns gone. Chimney Rock is gone, a beautiful town. Swananoa, Gone. Montreat, gone. Other towns, damaged beyond repair. That means our geography has changed. Our culture is at risk. But most importantly, our people. Our generational people have lost their generational homes. ain't about your granite countertops anymore. Listen, y'all. Listen. Tell somebody how they can help.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I am but one resource. There are people I know all over North and South Carolina that have been gathering up goods and trucks. Somebody as far away as Massachusetts putting a truck together, let me know. I can connect you to where to take things. The Baptists are doing a great job out of Boone. Samaritan's purses on the ground. I trust those two organizations. I wish I had trust for more because I don't trust this government,
Starting point is 00:15:51 but I trust the people of North Carolina. Y'all, the biggest thing you can do, pray. Pray right now, pray fervently that people will turn their hearts back to God and pray for a head to protection around all those who have seen things they should never have to see. I'll tell you one more story before I hang up this video. I had a lady come to my donation site yesterday, and her grandson is 10 years old living in the mountains with his mother, who works in a VA hospital. They're getting the kid out today to get him home because they can finally get him.
Starting point is 00:16:21 get him out and they're worried because he has seen things he should never have to see when you have children that are seeing bodies on the ground and towns gone we're going to have to answer for that one day y'all please pray please do something and for those of y'all that have already done something i can't thank you enough there you go and that was a great video uh by the way i do want to mention who she was lee brown nc realtor i want to go ahead and say i'm sure many of you are probably asking well where do we help if we can help and one of the things i was thinking today was, as you said in that, Samaritans Purst is probably one of the best organizations to, if you want to send money, you want to send, or you want to have an effect on your impact on this region. Samaritans Purse, I believe it's probably one of the best organizations that is Franklin Graham and them's organization, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And they do great work. They are on the ground in Western North Carolina. They are on the ground all across the country when massive things happen, including the more over. Oklahoma tornado that devastated more Oklahoma. They've been on the ground in many situations. And as she says here, and I believe she's right, you know, Ron DeSantis, whether you love him or hate him, if you're a Trump supporter or you're a Democrat or whatever the case may be, obviously they sent a ton, a ton of power trucks down to Florida.
Starting point is 00:17:43 And they were on standby. We're talking about thousands and thousands of power trucks and for obvious reasons. And the reason for this is because you had a category four hurricanes. that was going to make landfall in the panhandle of Florida that could have easily devastated Florida a lot worse than it did. Now, I'm not saying Florida was not devastated. There are beaches gone. There are towns gone on the panhandle.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Those people should also not be forgotten. Those people, luckily, they do have a great governor down there in Florida that's going to help them and make sure that, you know, they are supported in any way, shape, or form they possibly can. You know, if you are a Florida resident, this is something I will say that you at least have assurance that you have a good governor. you don't necessarily have to depend so heavily on the federal government. And, you know, Roy Cooper, which is the governor of North Carolina, I've never liked the guy.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I don't think he's great at the response effort. You know, he is also a Democrat, but it doesn't matter about politics here. It just matters about the fact that if you look at how the Biden administration has responded here, it is at the very least, very late. And it's something that I want to play to you guys briefly. and then we're going to get back into Lee Brown's video, but I want to play this quick clip. This is what the federal government now says about emergency relief
Starting point is 00:18:59 and what they can possibly do for this. This is a Fox News clip. This was when Mayorkis was asked about funding for Hurricane Helene. Listen. Terry, Alejandro Mayork is sounding the alarm on FEMA funding right after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Listen. We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have.
Starting point is 00:19:26 We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. This all comes as the Biden-Harris administration spent over a billion dollars from a FEMA program on services for migrants. Attorney General, the great state of Florida, Ashley Moody joins me now. A.G. Moody, why does the Biden-Harris administration, always seem to help American taxpayers last. Good morning, Todd.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah, everyone should be waking up this morning outraged by that comment. This is not something that has just happened recently. And Florida's been warning about this since this administration took over. Majorcas has come in like a virus and infected these what need to be healthy, strong, fundamental programs to ensure the stability and safety of Americans in times of disaster. So you heard they have taken the FEMA emergency food and shelter program and over time siphoned off hundreds of millions of dollars into basically making it an illegal immigrant resettlement program. And so when you see these states and cities around the nation declaring emergencies, even blue states because of what this administration has done, encouraging more and more and more, developing programs to encourage more and more and more people. people to come here, the government, Biden and Harris, are having to fund that on the backs of the
Starting point is 00:20:59 American people. And now, right now, in Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, all of these states are hurting because of this truly natural disaster, not a Biden-Harris-made disaster. They're saying we need more money. And of course, they need more money because they've been laundering it from the true intended purpose of this fund that Congress set forth. Laws be damned. There's two things going on here. We just... All right, I want to stop it there.
Starting point is 00:21:28 That was the Attorney General of Florida. And listen, almost $1 billion that FEMA used, not for our citizens, not for America. They used a billion dollars for immigrants resettlement programs. We're talking about a, you know, if you guys want to go conspiratorial, because it's not conspiratorial anymore. If you go look at the World Economic Forum's plan for population relapses, I think is kind of how they say it, but it's not even relapse. They call it the replacement theory and agenda. That's what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And they are using federal agencies such as FEMA and other agencies to siphon this money a billion dollars to where now we don't even have the money to help the people of my hometown, my home region. and is sickening to me and it pisses me off. And not only that, that he actually came out and said, we don't have funding. We don't have the money. The money is gone. And I heard Biden speaking up, too, saying civilians need to step up and, you know, take the plate. They're the ones that should be helping.
Starting point is 00:22:38 They're the ones that should be coming up with the money. When is it ever going to be America first, ever? Yeah. And by the way, the government of the United States of America was put in place that they were to work for you. You're not supposed to work for your government, although that's what we do nowadays. We give all of our money.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I mean, there's so much. I mean, you know how many people work of their asses off on a daily basis, a weekly basis to barely scrape by, and then you have this massive inflation that's happening. You have food prices that are so freaking overpriced that most people can't afford it. There are more homeless people I'm seeing in our hometown than I've ever seen before in my life. And this is compounded, obviously.
Starting point is 00:23:19 It started with COVID. And then COVID moved along. And then the Biden administration came in and made it 10 times freaking worse. And now you have, you know, a situation where people already can't survive. And then the government that's supposed to be working for you says, actually, we're not working for you anymore. We're working for anyone else that we want to try to bring in here to resettle them into society. And we want to replace you guys with whoever's going to vote for us or whatever, whoever we're going to be able to better control. troll. That's really what they want to do. This is a sickening, sickening situation going on right now.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And let me just say one more thing. I know so many first responders in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I know so many in South Carolina. And I was a first responder myself. I was in the fire department for 14 plus years on and off. And let me tell you who went and checked on my mom. I won't go into names or details. But it was a guy that is a local legend. He's a local hero of the mountains of North Carolina. He has been for so many years. He has literally dedicated his entire life to serving the people of his county, but not just his county.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Basically all of Western North Carolina, he has done this for so many years. So many people love him. He's one of the most stand-up guys you'll ever meet. I wish I could say his name and kind of give him the recognition that he deserves. He recently just actually retired from the Sheriff's Department. He still works in the fire department capacity. But you know who went and checked on my mom. It was him.
Starting point is 00:24:44 You know, I reached on him. Couldn't get a hold of her. Couldn't get a holdover. She was cut off from everything. Her road was completely flooded. And this guy, by the way, as popular as he is, and he is, I mean, especially when you have a hurricane situation like this. And the people of the community obviously are going to look to people like this person I'm
Starting point is 00:25:03 talking about for answers or for reasoning or for, hey, what do we need to do? How do we need to do it? Can you help us? Can you do this? And I'd reach out to him. And he said, you know what? I'm going to check on your mom. I can't get there tonight because there's no way we can.
Starting point is 00:25:16 get into that road. But I think by tomorrow morning we can get in there. And he said, I will let you know. Next morning, he calls or he texts me at, I don't know, what, 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning. He said, hey, we went to your moms. We checked on her and made sure everything was good. By the way, your mom says she loves you. She's good.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And so that's, but that's the people. Yeah. And those are the real heroes. And him talking about meeting the needs of these people, there's many people that I still have not had contact with anyone. And it just aggravates me that it seems like there's so many people out there willing to help. And they're turning away people to help. They're turning away supplies.
Starting point is 00:25:58 They're turning away everything. And, you know, there's even people saying if you don't register through FEMA, they're going to turn you away. And they might even arrest you. Yeah. Let me actually go to a poster real quick. I was going to go to another clip real quick. But read Timmer, one of the most, uh, notorious storm chasers.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And I say notorious because he actually just recently got banned from renting cars ever again because he rents cars and then he basically gets them destroyed in Gorilla Hell. Goes into tornadoes. Yeah, but not just tornadoes. He literally goes into gorilla hell and these rental cars are destroyed. And I have no idea how rental companies have not caught on before now. I mean, we're talking about a couple years. So, and then I saw a comment under it. So read, Reed Timmer was like, hey,
Starting point is 00:26:45 so I can't rent cars anymore. He said, you know, I'm not mad. I understand and I get it. And someone underneath said, well, they won't rent cars to read Timmer, but they will rent cars to teed remer. And it has a winky face. But anyways, so read Timmer actually posted this earlier. And he said, very important. If you are moving supplies into the North Carolina disaster zone, they are asking that you register with NCEM, the North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Emergency Management, per the document posted here. If you do not register with emergency management, there is a chance you could be turned around at various checkpoints or your goods confiscated. It also says if you plan to move people, resources, or equipment into Western North Carolina, you must coordinate plans and movements through the North Carolina Emergency Management or BEOC. Help us keep critical supply lines open. Please do not self-deploy resources or supply logistics without coordinating.
Starting point is 00:27:44 There is a high likelihood that your teams will be turned away at various checkpoints. We will prioritize movements and provide safe routes with an escort as needed. You can email, blah, blah, please include this. And a lot of the comments on here obviously are, we don't need permission to help each other. That's number one. Even with the best of intentions and good leaders, there's no way the government can possibly meet the need. So why put another damn bureaucracy in between good Samaritans and people in dire straits?
Starting point is 00:28:14 that's also absolutely true um this is inefficient and typical red tape that slows the help and this is what's going to cause more people dying that that doesn't have to die i mean that's what we have to understand these people do not have to die now some of you also may have heard the story about the helicopter pilot the helicopter pilot in lake lure he went to rescue a couple that he had happened to see and i want to go over we got to play this story because i I want you to hear the story. These are some of the things that pilots are encountering when they're trying to help the people and get into places that either the National Guard cannot get into or local officials cannot get into. A lot of times if you look at helicopters,
Starting point is 00:29:02 you have these smaller helicopters like the R-44s, R-22s, very small footprints, you know, in the grand scheme of things where typically National Guard is going to have the Black Hawk's, They're a lot bigger. They can't get into some of these areas. And this is where these privatized helicopter pilots can get in and at least rescue people to bring them back down. I want to play this story real quick. Dustin Waycaster is the name of the man letting people die and stop and rescue efforts. They say he is a Lake Lueur fire chief.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Now, I don't know for sure. Don't quote me on who exactly is responsible for this. We do not know. So I'm not going to go tell you to, you know, go talk trash. to whoever or whatever. But I want to play you this story at the very least. Here is the story. It's not that long, but I want you to hear his experience.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Stories of survival are now being shared days after Helene wreaked havoc in North Carolina. But one pagellum man's efforts to help are now the source of controversy. He flew his own chopper on his own dime to help stranded victims. But that man says he abandoned his rescue missions after a fire official threatened to have him thrown in jail. Well, that man now once. answers and turn to Queen City News, chief investigator Jody Barr to help figure out what went wrong here. This is the original post that I was reading when I decided to go up and help. It's a long post, but she's saying that her kids and family and animals are trapped.
Starting point is 00:30:32 No way out, no supplies, and the only way in or out is accessible by helicopter. Limited self-service and no water since Friday morning. I thought I have a helicopter and maybe I can help. Jordan Sidham piled food and water into its helicopter Saturday and headed up toward better elk. The only way through, a mountain gap in Lake Lure. This is the mountain valley that you would have to fly to get to Black Mountain where we were escorting people out. This is a mountain range and this is a mountain range. The only place to fly through with bad visibility, low cloud coverage is Lake Lure.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And I want to point out something here too with helicopters. You don't typically fly that high, and especially in conditions like they were facing. So to fly to certain regions of the mountains, the best way to do this is through the valleys. And that's what he did. He went through the Lake Lover Valley, getting up to the Black Mountain area. And this is what you would do if you're flying from South Carolina because he was a South Carolina pilot. He was very close to where we live.
Starting point is 00:31:37 And so obviously the best way into the mountain area is through the valleys of Western North Carolina because some of those peaks, I mean, especially if you start going over to like the Mount Mitchell area, which is just to, if you're, if you're looking at North Carolina from South Carolina, the Mount Mitchell is basically just to the right of, I guess you can say of Lake Lure. And so if you're in a helicopter, that's plus 7,000 feet to clear obstacles. And then also knowing that a lot of clouds usually sit at 7,000, 8,000 foot elevations. So that's why you use valleys to fly through this region. So let's get back to the story.
Starting point is 00:32:19 For help from people stranded without food, water, or electricity hit social media soon after the flooding last Friday. So my parents are stuck there. Their address is Bain or elk. Say, if you received this, please give me a call back. Thank you. Siddham's phone started lighting up on Saturday with people begging for help. I can hear the desperation in her voice.
Starting point is 00:32:42 This is multiple phone calls I've received like this. voicemails, text messages, and you could hear people desperate for help. Cidham and his son rescued four people on Saturday and spent the night in a nearby pilot's lounge, then decided to fly again Sunday morning. I spoke with my son, which is my co-pilot. I said, hey, do you want to go back out and try to help today? And his response was, there's so many messages, I don't think we can't not go help. Cidaman and his son were headed up to Black Mountain.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Flight tracking shows no flight restrictions in place Saturday or Sunday. Monday morning when Siddham flew through the Lake Lour Gap. But that was all about to change. The Siddham spotted an older couple waiting for help, then landed in what's left of their driveway. I originally left my son co-pilot on the side of the mountain. It was kind of unstable, so I didn't want to put more weight in the helicopter to lift back off.
Starting point is 00:33:51 So I left my son with the other victim, and I was just going to take one person down at the time. you can hear me in the video talking through with the victims and with my son what we're going to do. Three minutes away, Sittam spotted a group of rescuers just down the river. He landed and found someone in charge. He told him my background experience, law enforcement, firefighting pilot, he immediately started helping with coordination. He gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on, set up a landing area for me to come back with the other victim. And in the middle of the whole conversation and then blocking the road off, I was greeted by the, at that time I didn't know, but Lake Lure, Fire Chief, or Assistant Chief maybe, and he shut down the whole operation. So at that point, there was, I felt like the conversation wasn't going any further.
Starting point is 00:34:40 And again, he asked me to leave. And I said, hey, I have no problem getting out of your area. If that's what you want us to do, we'll leave, no issue. At that point, I asked him, you know, what was the reason I had to leave them there? He said, again, you're interfering with my operation. I just need you to get out of the area. I said, sir, I don't know where you were trained at, but I know how my training is, and I'm not going to leave personnel behind.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I'm going back to get my co-pilot. He said, if you turn around and go back up the mountain, you're going to be arrested. I said, well, sir, I'm going back to get my co-pilot. I don't know what to tell you. And he said, I'm letting you know. And at that point, he waived for two law enforcement officers to come over and told me that again. If I go back up the mountain, I would be arrested. He flew the three-minute trip back, picked up his son, and left the woman's husband behind.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I'm sure he was flooded with emotions and trying to rescue other people, and I just felt that it was best at the time to leave. So I did follow his instructions, and I had a conversation with the female victim before I left, apologized and explained. And she was standing there. She heard the whole conversation. And they were both very, very surprised, very upset. The husband, as I was leaving off of the side of the mountain at that point,
Starting point is 00:35:50 separated from his wife, he was upset. I can only imagine. Siddiman is nearly 1,400 flight hours turned his chopper around and headed back to South Carolina, passing people waving for help along the way. As I was actually leaving to go back to get my son, the original chief or captain that I spoke to, his crew and himself, they came back over and said, hey man, we can't tell you to go get the victim. We can't even ask you to go get the victim, but we can't tell you. tell you if you come back with the victim, we'll have you a designated landing spot, and we'll make sure they don't come over here. So there was no flight restriction when you went in? No, no flight restriction when I went in. It went in place 20 or 30 minutes after the confrontation with Mr.
Starting point is 00:36:37 You feel like that was coincidental, or do you think that that was because of what happened? I don't think it can be coincidental when there has not been one in place the day before doing rescue operations the night of the morning of that took place after our altercation. I think there would have never been a TFR put in place, have we not had that conversation. If I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were going to arrest me. Well, for now, we've chosen not to name that Lake Lour fire official because communications in and out of that town are still difficult. We want to include his side in this story. And if and when he responds to our message.
Starting point is 00:37:18 We will include that. The good news is I saw a video of a Coast Guard helicopter landing in Lake Lure this morning. So hope. So there is the clip. And it pisses me off. I mean, for obvious reasons. It breaks my heart. It's a power trip.
Starting point is 00:37:36 That's what it was. This is not necessarily government related. I mean, it could have been. We don't know who was coordinating the Lake Lueur Fire Department or whoever. A lot of times when government comes in, such as feet. and whoever, they automatically take over. So their rules apply. It does not matter about local officials.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And so I cannot necessarily confirm nor deny or say without a reasonable doubt that these, you know, fire chiefs. But even even with that, right, you, you bring the wife down. These are elderly people. Yeah, and they're 70s. Yeah, and they're 70s. And he makes him leave the husband. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:14 And then and they were threatening to arrest him if he even, went and picked up his son back on the mountain. It's co-pilot. Yeah. His son co-pilot. And then so you basically had this separation of a wife and husband now where the husband was by himself at this point with no way into their location. Although they say supposedly that Coast Guard came in or whoever it was that may have rescued
Starting point is 00:38:38 the husband, although we do not know the story of whether they actually were able to rescue the husband or not in this story. But this is complete bullshit. This is stuff like this is that. this is why the government does not give a damn about you. And it's not just the government in the government in the way you think of the government. It's there is local governments that can also screw you and also affect your ability to help your fellow neighbor. And the reality of it is is that we are not a democracy. And I want people to understand that. We're not
Starting point is 00:39:08 a democracy. They keep saying we got to save democracy. We are a constitutional republic, which states that the government works for us. We do not work for them. and at the end of the day, we appoint our government to work for us. But yet now it has went tyrannical in so many ways to where they say, you're not doing this. You can't help your fellow neighbor. You can't do this. We're either doing it or you're not doing it. And if we can't do it, you're still not allowed to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And then as the guy is talking about, he's flying back to South Carolina for obvious reasons because he just had a massive confrontation, something that threatened his arrest in a basic war zone, a disaster zone. And told him to leave his co-pilot there, his son. Do not go get him. You're going to be arrested. Yeah. This is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And so this is what I'm saying, guys, is that it all goes back to the government is not there for you. And it goes back to their first video with a North Carolina real estate agent where she said, we are fellow patriots and we have to help each other. We cannot depend on this government. No, absolutely. We cannot do that. I do want to play something else as well.
Starting point is 00:40:21 You know, this is another video I just happen to come across. And we're going to get to some of the conspiracy stuff. And in just about six or seven minutes, we're going to call one of our long-time listeners, a very good friend of ours. And I hope that we have a way that we can help her because she basically lost everything. But before we get to her, I want to go ahead and go into this. This is another video, a clip that is. I think you guys have to listen this. And he says they are literally allowing this people, these people to eff and die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters in here.
Starting point is 00:40:59 And this is Jonathan Howard with the Florida State Guard special missions unit. He was assessing recovery and says they desperately need help. And they are not getting it. They are not even allowed to supply it. Let's get to this clip before we call Jordan and talk to her. My name's Jonathan Howard. I'm a member of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit. And I'm also up here with aerial recovery, a nonprofit.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I came up here on Sunday with aerial recovery before we even got activated. We flew up here, and then we got activated, which is great. I have my team up here working as well. Here's the problem. I'm going to tell you everything that's happening from the ground what I'm actually seeing because what they're telling you is complete bullshit on the news, and these politicians don't have a fucking flu in their line. Now, I'll say this now.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I'll say it in the video. The only thing I need from this video is helicopters. If I have helicopters, I can save lives. Without helicopters, I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many chainsaws and trucks I got. I can't get to them. They're 10 miles in, 20 miles, 40 miles in the mountains. There's no way to get with them or even communicate with them. I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking for SOS messages carved in the mud or painting on the ground and we're dropping down and saving them. What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11-day-year-old baby. And all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that they have some, like, government
Starting point is 00:42:35 helped with that. And even USA, I think it was USA Today wrote an article about it saying it was a Florida a National Guard that went and got it. Like, with a helicopter. No, it was me, my buddy Charlie, and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter at a Wilmington, North Carolina. Like, without that civilian, that baby would be dead. And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead, too, because she had one day left of oxygen. No one was going to go get them.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I will tell you, when we go up in the air, I probably see 40 civilian helicopters. I might see two Blackhawks, National Guard. military, whatever they are. That's it. No one's out there doing rescues. I have my entire team up here from Florida right now, and they have no ability to go rescue these people other than what they can drive to. The people that are in dire need, they're out in the mountains. They are completely cut off. Now, I will say, I spoke to my congresswoman down in Florida, and she's a badass, and she made a bunch of phone calls and now we got two contracted 60s coming up here tomorrow, which is great. I love that, but like, I still don't understand why we don't have more helicopters.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Like, we'll get a lot of work done with that, but there's no, there's no military. There's no, no one's doing nothing. I just, it blows my mind. And they're not even allowing people to see what's really going on. One of our friends yesterday, they were actually escorting CNN down a late lore, and they wouldn't even let CNN, the sheriff department would not let them go videotape. bad areas, how destructive it is. I don't know why they don't want to show you all that, but I mean, it is bad. I should also say, when I flew here on Sunday,
Starting point is 00:44:17 they actually stopped us from going in, the sheriff department. And it was because of a bunch of politics that they were claiming was a Speaker of the House of North Carolina that was preventing us from even going in and trying to kick us out, which I have clarified today with North Carolina politicians that reached out to me, good on them. And they were like, That's complete bullshit. Speaker of the House has nothing. He wants you guys there. But this is the kind of political BS that is happening here right now.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Like everyone is trying to be in charge without taking any type of action. Nobody wants to coordinate with anybody. Everybody wants to pretend like they're being the hero while these people are literally fucking dying in the mountains. And these people, like I'm saying, these people are limited medication. They're running out of oxygen. And there's no one going to get them. The most effective way I have found to go find these people is by getting in the
Starting point is 00:45:05 a helicopter and flying down the rivers and roads and looking for SOS messages or people waving us down. And then we drop down and get them. We have all these people here. We have law enforcement. We have state guard, national guard. They have no way to go get these people. Yesterday when I was at the Asheville airport refueling, which by the way, the civilian is paying all this out of his own pocket. He's not even looking for a reimbursement. I think we did four refuelings yesterday. And that was like just in half a day of work. We're in Nashville. And I saw two Air Force helicopter 60s. And I knew there were PJs just looking at them.
Starting point is 00:45:40 And I went up to him like, hey guys, like, what are y'all doing? And like, this is what you need to be doing? This is how I'm finding people. And they're like, we can't go. We're waiting on Title X orders. And I'm like, what? They just, they can't get any authority. There's military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground and they can't do nothing.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Even my J-Soc boys in Fayetteville, they can't get orders to come out here. It is just the most disgusting thing. And they're killing these people. And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't know what kind of conspiracy. I've heard so many themes, whatever you want to come up with. But they are literally allowing these people to fucking die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters.
Starting point is 00:46:16 They got money for everything else in the fucking world right now. But if they could just get us helicopters, we could fly out there and rescue these people. So I hope this video goes viral. I hope these politicians get fired. I hope people get pissed off. They'll probably kick me out of the state of North Carolina for doing this. But you know what? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:46:33 because if I can save one more life for it, it's fucking worth it to me. Absolutely, brother. Absolutely. And I want to let you guys know, this is Jonathan Howard with the Florida State Guard Special Mission Unit, who is assisting aerial recovery. And he's saying they are in desperate need. Guys, Jonathan Howard and people like this are the people that are going to save your ass if you ever actually need it.
Starting point is 00:47:01 The problem is, is the government is standing. landing in the way. They are creating blockades between the citizens helping citizens. And that in itself is a conspiracy theory. It's not a theory. It's a conspiracy. It's definitely a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy because they don't want this shit either to be helped for some reason.
Starting point is 00:47:21 We're going to get us. Yeah. And you ask yourself, why do they want these people to die? Because that's basically what they're doing is they're killing people that can be rescued. Why do they want them to die? And that's when you get into the conspiracy. because there's no reason why anyone would just leave someone stranded when they're people to help them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:39 So what we're going to do now, because I did tell Jordan, we're going to call her now. I'm going to call her, get her on the phone. We'll resume this as soon as we get her on the phone. I want to make sure she is in a devastated area in the mountains of North Carolina. She's actually spotty service. So we're going to see if we can get her. If we can't, then you're going to know in just a second. I'm not going to edit this out.
Starting point is 00:47:58 If we can't get her. We'll just say, hey, we can not reach her. But we're going to talk to her first. We want you guys to be able to listen to her story and kind of what they experienced. And obviously, her as a loyal listener of ours, she understands the complexities and the conspiracies and everything surrounding this. But that's all on the wayside when it affects you directly. And you were impacted in such a massive way like she has been in her family and all that stuff. I know that she was going to take a shower at a friend's house.
Starting point is 00:48:29 She basically has nothing left. So let's get her on the phone. and then we'll resume this. All right, Jordan. Jordan is with us. By the way, we have, it's probably been 10 minutes since the last time you heard us, although you guys are just hearing us right now.
Starting point is 00:48:43 But we've been trying to get in touch with Jordan. It kept going to voicemail. She's not getting a lot of service. Jordan, how are you doing? Obviously, you have been through a lot the past week. We're just kind of taking it day by day. I'd be lying if I said it was a roller coaster ride.
Starting point is 00:49:01 So we're about some of the mountains. do you live, like what, you know, how far are you from Asheville, North Carolina, I guess is a good question. I'm about 50 minutes from Asheville, 30 from Hendersonville, not even. Okay. And so did you guys, were you, were you affected by the flooding? What happened in your situation? Yes. So we are located below the, one of the dams, one of the major dams in town.
Starting point is 00:49:32 and out of nowhere, you know, everything was fine. Storm was calming down. Water was still in the river. And within 30 minutes, it was coming in our home. Oh, wow. And what time was that when that happened? Probably about 10, 1030. So explain to me.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Just go through, like, what happened? Did it happen Thursday night or Friday morning when the actual hurricane was it flooding before? Friday morning. Okay. Friday in the morning. Okay, so go through from seven, so it probably came through you guys, what, eight, eight o'clock in the morning and somewhere around there? Yeah, that would be about right. We had been up and down since three o'clock, like setting different alarm.
Starting point is 00:50:17 And then we watched the storm outside until about nine o'clock. We thought everything was okay. We went in the house. Guess not. So what happened exactly? Go through the timeline a little bit. Well, we sat out on the porch from probably about seven to nine o'clock, just watching the storm and enjoying the rain. And like I said, we thought everything was good.
Starting point is 00:50:44 We went back in the house. I plugged up our toaster to the generator because we didn't have power. And we had some waffles because it was Amy's birthday. And we sat down and about 30 minutes later we got up and I looked out the window. and it was in our yard. Wow. So how far do you guys live from a river there? We are on the river, Chad.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Oh, okay. Interesting. What river is it? Do you know? Green river. Green river. Oh, okay. So within 30 minutes of that, it just started flooding all of a sudden and
Starting point is 00:51:23 what were you feeling and what did you do? Because I think I would be freaking out if I saw this river even coming into my yard and then all of a sudden coming into my house. Straight panic mode. I mean, it was trying to just keep it together, and we have four cats. So we had to find all of our cats. Of course, they're up underneath the couch during a storm. So it was just panicking, trying to get all of our animals together and what we could
Starting point is 00:51:52 in baskets. And we ended up losing the basket because we had to truck through waste, high water, with two German ships and four cats. Did you say you're in waste, high water in your house? Yes. By the time we made it out probably up to our knees in the house and outside of our home, it was at our waist. So did you guys just go upstairs or did you get out of the house or what did you do? We went out the backyard and we have a mountain directly behind the valley and behind the apartment.
Starting point is 00:52:27 So we just started climbing up the mountain and went to the barn. With all your animals, the four cats and the two dogs. Wow. Yeah, it was probably like a mile and a half trek with wet boots, heavy plants, and lots of animals. And so you guys were basically going up the mountain. Yes. For safe. Hoping a tree to not fall on us.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Now, were other people with you trying to get up the mountain as well? Sorry. No, just me and Amy and the pets. Oh, wow. And so you have the pets. Obviously, did you have them on leased? or were they just kind of going with you? Well, we had them on leashes,
Starting point is 00:53:07 and then my biggest German Shepherd started getting pulled by the current, so we had to let him go in hopes he was following us, you know, across to the mountain. And he did. But we eventually just let him free walk on the way back because we had to go over and under a bunch of fallen trees. Wow. So how long did you end up staying on the mountain with all the animals?
Starting point is 00:53:30 and what were the cats doing? Well, we actually trekked to the backside of the barn because we live on a horse farm. And the barn was the highest building on property. So we had about 15 feet between the river and the barn at that time. And then it started to recede. Wow. And so were the horses good?
Starting point is 00:53:54 I mean, I guess you guys have horses there or no? Losing their ever-loving minds, but they're okay. Wow. And so what has it been like since you guys have been flooded out? Did you guys basically lose your, lose, I mean, what did you lose? Do you lose vehicles, personal possessions? How has all that been? We lost two cars and then everything we owned. We were able to wash some mud out of a few outfits and the rest of it's gone. salvaged a couple of, you know, special pictures, but for the most part, there was no cinemittals left. Wow. Now, was it hard?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Okay, so I'm guessing that you were on the mountain and you had to wait for the water to receive back down. Was it, how did you get out of there? Or how long were you there before you were rescued or what happened? So we weren't rescued. They didn't come until the day after to tell us or to offer evacuation for us. and at that time we we didn't take it because we were in the barn safe with a generator so we were just like we're going to take our best shots here we've just been bunking with my employers oh wow that is nuts um and so you guys got a generator gone too yeah so so their home is also gone um yes jordan what is the best way that we could help you guys number one i mean do you do you guys have i mean we had mentioned earlier on
Starting point is 00:55:24 this episode about Samaritan's purse and all that stuff and that's going to go to the broader relief system but as we told people on the beginning of this episode we've been doing this now 55 minutes but as we told people is there any way that people can directly donate to you if they want to help you and and we also told them like you're one of our loyal listeners our family yeah you're a family you got Jordan's always in our telegram she's always in you know on some of our live conversations and and actually a lot of the planning for episodes and all that stuff and just talking things out Jordan has been a large part of that for you guys that don't know that but is there any way that people can directly help you cash out?
Starting point is 00:56:05 Venmo is about the only thing I have. I've had some bad luck with cash out. But yeah, I could definitely get that information. Okay. Do you happen to have the information right now? Do you have the information that people could donate to you right now? Do you know? Yeah, it's Jordan dash laws dash two.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Okay, Jordan dash laws, L-A-W-S-Dash what? Two. Two. Two. The number two? Yes. Okay. Now, are you guys still without power?
Starting point is 00:56:35 I'm assuming yes. Actually, our power kicked back on today. Oh, thankfully. That's awesome. Yes. But you can't really be in the bridge, too. But you can't really go back in your house, can you? No, our house is, no, it's gone.
Starting point is 00:56:52 And we're just kind of hanging out in the room until we find something else. Wow. So has anyone offered anything like saying, hey, guys, we've got this place for you to go in the long term? Or have you heard anything that any help on the way as far as like the government? No, absolutely nothing. I think Amy got a text message talking about the Biden-Kamala relief thing. But other than that, no. help at all. Wow. Now, what has your experience been with just emergency officials? Have you seen
Starting point is 00:57:27 local officials, government officials? What has your experience been with that? And, you know, how are you guys in that neighborhood and that community? How are you guys feeling about the response in general and just kind of your situation and, I guess, maybe hope for the future? Well, I think it's kind of been a little frustrating as far as, like, some of the rescues. I know they're trying their best or, you know, that's what it looks like. But there's been a lot of civilians that have the pools and smarts to help and they're turning away and arresting them. It just seems a little weird.
Starting point is 00:58:04 And then I keep like seeing, I know it's just Facebook, I hear things about them not allowing people to return to Chimney Rock and that they're going to bulldoze it, that it was federal property now. Yeah, now how far do you live from? Because Jordan, I don't know exactly. Obviously, I'm from the mountains. And I think we've already talked about this. And you don't have to say, I mean, you can't if you want to.
Starting point is 00:58:27 You don't have to say the exact town you're in if you don't want to. But how far are you from Chimney Rock or Hendersonville? You said 30 minutes from Henderson, but I'm just trying to put on the map where you exactly are. Like Lake Lure limits, I'm like nine minutes away. For Chimney Rock, it probably takes me 15, 20 minutes. But that's just for 30. Only a few miles, honestly, like six, seven miles. I got you.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Oh, man. So how are you guys surviving as far as food and water? We've just been, honestly, we've been eating out leftovers and eating sandwiches. Wow. Did you, do you have ice or anything? No, we had the generator on the first of the, because like I said, my, my employers have an nice, beautiful properties. So we've been lucky to have some sort of power during that's good.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Oh, man. Well, Jordan, we've, I know you're going to listen to this episode because we've been kind of going through various audio clips and so on. And I know you listen to us anyways. But I just want people to understand that, yeah, Jordan, we love her very much. And if you guys can help her in any way, shape, or form, please do. You got that Venmo. if you need to get it again, go rewind this episode and do that.
Starting point is 00:59:53 We're going to actually be up there, Jordan, this weekend. And one of the things we actually just heard from a Florida, I can't remember what his unit was, or not unit, but what his organization was down in Florida. But he came up here to try to help people in North Carolina. Especially around Jordan's area. Yeah, Jordan's area and the amount of roadblocks that they are facing to try to help people in that area is absurd. And you got to think,
Starting point is 01:00:19 there's basically no way in around. Yeah, and you got to think like Jordan, they've lost both their cars. They have no transportation right now. They are stuck. Yeah. There are a lot of people that are stuck, you know, for not having vehicles,
Starting point is 01:00:34 but not only that, their way in or out of chimney rock is basically one road. So if it's closed, it's flip. So I'm sure that the roads all around you have trees falling over the roads? Are there roads even existing still?
Starting point is 01:00:52 Some of the roads are not even there anymore. So you can't get out, like if you wanted to go to Charlotte or South Carolina or Asheville, can you get there? Yes. We have escaped our property, but we can't go into chimney rock. Right there, you have to go over a bridge to go into chimney rock, and the bridge is right there at our home, so I can't go any further than that. okay yeah and and the clip we just played the guy was like you know even the local officials or
Starting point is 01:01:22 government officials whoever it was you know even when cnn came in was trying to do a piece they they were kind of coordinating them to say hey we're only going to let you go in so far and see some stuff yeah we don't want you to see or video for some reason uh the extent or whatever the case maybe i mean maybe you can yeah maybe you can chalk that up to oh they're trying to people safe, whatever. But, you know, the freedom of press is very important. And the freedom of speech is very important. And there's a reason why it seems like that if you talk to people across the nation,
Starting point is 01:01:55 whether it's Sherry's mom or some of my clients in marketing or whoever it is that are not in this area, national news-wise, they don't, there's not a lot of people that really understand the gravity of the situation that you guys are going through. Absolutely. Well, I can say, I feel like a lot of that has to do with the amount of bodies that that have been seen found, and they're not in really great condition. You know, they're lodged into trees and hanging from trees and just upside down, dead in cars, and buried alive. So they're not letting anybody in, I think, to avoid, I don't know, graphicness, maybe.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Seeing the graphicness. As far as the police goes. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty horrific. I've talked to a few people, you know, local that have, you know, watched bodies float down the river past their home. I've found weird clothing garments that, you know, I have no idea where they come from. I don't know if they were on somebody's feet or whatever, but it's just really surreal. How was it the fact to you minimally, Jordan?
Starting point is 01:03:05 I mean, I know we've had a lot of kind of deep conversations at times on telegram and whatever, but how has it affected you just mentally you and your family? I guess, like I said, kind of a roller coaster, but really just feeling displays and maybe a little desperate and just sad. Because, I mean, this is our home for me Lake Lure is where I escape. I've been going up there since I was a child. That's some of my best memories with my dog that just passed away. and we would just ride up at the ice cream and walk around Lake Lure and Chimmy Rock. And it's just, you know, it's going to be really hard.
Starting point is 01:03:48 It's going to be remembered like 9-11 here, in my opinion. For the locals, it is bad serious. Yeah. Yeah, I am the same way as you. I grew up in Hendersonville, but, you know, going to Lake Lueur was a very often occurrence. Yes. Yeah, I mean, the Tiki Hut. I'm sure you remember that and just, you know.
Starting point is 01:04:10 The Tiki Bar? Yeah, the Tiki Bar. Yeah. That biker bars. Yes. Yeah. There's some great memories. And, you know, I, I hope that the stories that I hear about them not rebuilding and just
Starting point is 01:04:25 bulldozing, isn't it true? What do you think that is? Why do you think that they're saying it's, they're going to bulldoze it and it's done, gone? I've seen something about BlackRock purchasing something and hearing about lithium. here in the mountain. So that would be my first guess. I don't know. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:04:48 Maybe it's his sinister is getting all of the red states out of here for voting coming up. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, if you think about North Carolina, too, in general, you know, North Carolina is technically kind of a swing state right now. I mean, and the amount of people that are going to be able to vote in North Carolina. And also, like, how many people are not going to be able to vote? I mean, think about the intent. entirety of Western North Carolina, are they going to show up to vote coming up in 30 days?
Starting point is 01:05:17 Probably not. Probably. Half of us don't even have voter ideas anymore. I know mine was in my car or it was in my house somewhere, but it's gone if I did it. Wow. Yeah, but you know what? So I can't ask anybody else who's not in the same boat. What you need to go and do is get on that, what is that the, there's an application process.
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's an app that you can go register. on their border patrol or the what is it CBP you can go register and just say that hey I am as someone crossing the border I don't have access to this and I don't have my information but you know go do that as a immigrant and you'll be able to vote come 30 days now do you guys do you guys have access to internet and are able to see the stories coming out of where you live unfortunately I kind of wish it was so black right now if I'm honest Yeah. Well, Jordan, where are you at? Are you, how far are you from like where your house was now? We're about 30 minutes away. We're in, we're still in Rutherford County, but we're on the other side of Rutherford County.
Starting point is 01:06:24 We went to go take shower because we've been bunking our employers. And it's the most uncomfortable thing to go in their home. So sure. Yeah. Well, listen, so we're going to be up there this weekend. And actually, we're going to try our very best, especially with, you know, the, the last clip we just played recently where he's talking about, you know, if you're going to go in video and do this stuff that you'll be arrested, we're going to challenge that this weekend, because we're going to be up there. And we're not going to be up there. We want to help people. We want to bring supplies.
Starting point is 01:06:58 We want to cook for people. We want to have a grill. We want to do whatever we can to help people in the community. But we also want to be able to tell the story of what's really going on and release it. Maybe maybe we can connect with. you at some point in time while we're up there over the next few days. I think that's the most important thing right now. You know, get it out.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Let everybody know what's going on. I feel like it's being talked about media, but it's not like the gravity of it. And you know how news is this day, these days coming so fast within a day. Yeah. Like nothing ever happens in the rest of the world. Yeah, for sure. And Jordan, your service is very unacceptable right now. You're breaking up.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm surprised. I made it this long, to be honest. Well, Jordan, listen, thank you so much for coming on. I just wanted people to understand kind of the gravity of the situation and just a firsthand account of someone that's there that has lost literally everything. And so if you guys can help Jordan, I mean, listen, we said, hey, Samaritan's purse, if you want to donate to the broader cause, donate there.
Starting point is 01:08:07 And people, we feel safe for you to donate to. Yeah, exactly. You know, because I feel like the government is not safe to, you know, do anything. And if you're going to donate anywhere, you've got to do it to places that you trust. Yeah. And especially Jordan. If you, Jordan is a great friend of ours in the podcast. She's been very loyal to us for a very long time.
Starting point is 01:08:28 And, and guys, if we can help her, please do anything you can donate or help. Please do that for her. She, she needs it, obviously. And it sucks that, you know, the fact. that the government is supposed to be working for us, but they're not, unfortunately. And we lost Jordan. No, I don't think we did, actually.
Starting point is 01:08:49 I think Jordan's still here. Oh, okay. Good. But Jordan, thank you so much for coming on. Yeah, well, if you guys come up this weekend to do some work or volunteer, let me know we plan to take tomorrow and Saturday to do some things, too. We've got a lot of different parks at close go. we've got what fits us and we give stuff for other people that need it too because we know we're not the only ones in the situation.
Starting point is 01:09:16 We just want to do what we can, what we can to help. I don't know if that's survived feel or what, but we're going to do something. Absolutely. Well, Jordan, we love you. And we're going to pray for you. And I know our people are going to pray for you. And hopefully they can help you. And we're going to help you as well.
Starting point is 01:09:35 And so, Jordan, thank you so much for coming on. Thank you, Chad. Thank you, Sherry. Lovely talking to you guys. Yes, love you, Jordan. Love you guys. See you. All right, that was Jordan Laws.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Listen, I want to tell you, man, Jordan is, like, she's been very loyal to our podcast, and she's awesome. She is a very genuine, trustworthy person. And the fact that, you know, really bad stuff happens to great people is unfortunate. And that's what pisses me off. about the response so far from our government that you cannot trust the government anymore you cannot do it but i want to get to this we're going to start talking a little bit about conspiracy before we get off here and we're going to do this because i think this is very important so into thin air we we were going to
Starting point is 01:10:27 have him actually on a podcast at one point in time and he he does a lot of meteorological things and and kind of talks about the um you know geoengineering slash weather modification stuff. We've done many episodes on weather modification. We had Alana Freeland on. She's one of the bestselling authors that have talked about weather modification. We've had her on a couple of times. I do suggest that you guys go back and listen to those episodes. Specifically, listen to our first episode with Alana Freeland. If you just look up HARP, if you're on Spotify, go look up HARP. H-A-A-R-P. When you go to our actual main episodes list, just look up harp, you'll see Alana Freeland.
Starting point is 01:11:09 It is a, the image is like a, like a satellite slash, I don't know, tower type green, Aurora Borealis behind it. That's, that's the image. Go listen to the episode and then think about this. Think about what we're talking about now. But into thin air talked about Hurricane Helene steered into the coast. This is a very scary topic warning you now. Was Helene modified to flood North Carolina to control lithium.
Starting point is 01:11:38 production for the United States. And this will blow your mind. All sources are attached to which we will go into this. And he says, we are discussing theories and evidence. So community notes, you are not needed. United States patents to steer hurricanes and tornadoes in 2007, 17 years ago. You think they stopped trying actual and much of Western North Carolina sit on the biggest lithium deposits in the entire United States.
Starting point is 01:12:04 So why is this significant? Well, when we left Afghanistan into thin air, he says we left behind our biggest lithium score ever. And this was Afghanistan. So now the largest deposit we have while the man's skyrocket is underneath the flood ridden area of western North Carolina. And so listen to what into thin air talks about here with the steering of hurricanes, the lithium deposits, and so on. Let's check it out. All right, my friends, no time to waste here. Did you know that the United States has multiple patents on how to steer and control hurricanes and tornadoes?
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yes, this is very real and it's backed by sources as well as our own NOAA website which discusses weather manipulation and what steps you or I would have to take in order to do our own weather manipulation. My friends, this is no joke. Many people believe that weather manipulation was used for Hurricane Helene, then somehow coincidentally stalled over the rare lithium-producing towns of Western and North Carolina, which is the exact location of the largest lithium deposit we have in the United States. Now something to keep in mind while moving forward. Ever since we left Afghanistan, we have lost the ability to mine lithium there, where most of it used to come from.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Now we are stuck having to fill this insane demand we have for this lithium, right here in the United States, once again, the largest deposit being right over the towns that just got completely destroyed by this hurricane. All right. So before I tie this all up with this lithium situation, this video you're looking at right now went super viral over the last few days. We have over 3 million views on this clip here, where we are talking about these weird anomalies that were taking place right before landfall of Hurricane Helene. There's a lot of controversy about what's going on here, but these things pointed directly to where we saw landfall. Not only that, but we saw some weird scalar looking beams in there, a lot of weird stuff that we were breaking down. And it's causing a lot of talk about this situation, which is... And I want to point out what he's saying here.
Starting point is 01:14:10 So on radar, it's showing some type of beam coming in from, I don't know, it looks like eastern North Carolina, straight to where Hurricane Helene made landfall. And so this is a beam. It is a radar anomaly that shows something happening in the system or, or what experts are saying, oh, this is just some type of malfunction of radar, whatever the case may be. Now, that may be the case. 100% could be the case.
Starting point is 01:14:41 But as I have said, and as we said a couple of days ago on our phone podcast episode, where we talked about, North Carolina, and my mom in particular, by the way, that we just got out yesterday,
Starting point is 01:14:55 out of the mountains and now into the coast of South Carolina, you know, her entire area was flooded and it was flooded two days prior to the hurricane ever making landfall. So this flood of moisture was streaming from basically Hurricane Helene, which was off the coast of Naples, Florida at this time, very, very far away from the mountains. But this stream of moisture was streaming straight to the mountains for two or three days. Prior to the hurricane. Yeah, they were already flooded before the hurricane ever made landfall in Florida.
Starting point is 01:15:29 They were already flooded. And so then my mom said, well, the rain or sorry, the floods have receded. But then obviously, if you think about the massive amount of water that was already put on them two or three days prior to the hurricane ever even making landfall. And then once the hurricane came through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, it just exasperated the conditions, the flooding and everything else. And so it's almost like they precharged the region. for massive devastation. And I say they, I'm saying if there was weather modification. It almost reminds me of Dubai.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah, absolutely. You know, when they had all these floods that came from nowhere. Well, we know where it came from. They, you know, Dubai was one of the biggest proponents of weather modification or also known as cloud seeding. Now, cloud seeding has existed for a very long time. Although all of a sudden, they're like, oh, yeah, well, cloud seeding has existed. since, you know, the 80s and all this stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:31 So that's not a conspiracy theory. But have you ever heard of Cloud Seedon until recently? No. The only reason they're starting to normalize Cloud Seedon is because of the conspiracies behind it. That is obviously showing that they can not only intensify storms, but then you're going to think about the steering of storms. Now, that can also be done by electromagnetic frequencies or waves to where they can steer systems, potentially, allegedly, conspiracy theory here.
Starting point is 01:17:03 We don't know for sure. We're just saying. Allegedly, they can also steer systems. Not only can they ramp systems up. Not only can they intensify systems potentially. We know they ask, and we know without a doubt, they can 100% intensify systems with cloud seeding. We saw it in Dubai. But we also know that based on patents that have been out there, I mean, they've been out there for quite some time.
Starting point is 01:17:29 that they can also steer hurricanes. So let's listen to a little more of what into thin air has a say. Point here. We've already established that weather manipulation exists, but I want you to take a look at this website from 2007, my friends, that's 17 years ago.
Starting point is 01:17:48 And it came out from the telegraph. It says scientists a step closer to steering hurricanes. Now, in this article, they explain how they're using technology in order to control, manipulate, and steer these types of storms, including tornadoes. So when you take things like this and you also add these patents that have been out for decades, you begin to see a picture being painted of what is really going on. Now this isn't to say that every bit of weather is manipulated and controlled. It means that they have the capability of doing this and it's right in your face. Now I can't say for sure that Hurricane Helene was controlled by this type of technology, but it certainly looked like it was and it certainly did epic record-breaking damage that we have not seen in any of our lifetimes. So this will come down to you making your own conclusions and taking the data and making your own educated decisions on what you're seeing. We're in a place in history where it's almost impossible to be able to trust our own media or government.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And I don't need to go over explanations on why that is. So now that we have all these steps in place, think about the situation as a whole. This wild hurricane comes barreling towards Florida. And we suspected that once this thing got close to land, it would rapidly intensify. And that's exactly what it did. And in my opinion, the reason that happened is because once it got close enough to our next red radar towers, it was then able to be influenced, as I've shown in many, many videos. All right. Now, finally, I just want to conclude with this. One year ago, almost to the day, as you can see in this article, North Carolina lithium mine to reopen with $90 million pentagon order to help increase U.S. production.
Starting point is 01:19:22 My friends, if this is not screaming to you right now, I don't know what else can. Just take a look at how much lithium we've used year to year up to 2024. And then once again ask yourself, what are the chances that this flood takes place in the biggest spot in the United States that we can even mine this stuff? My friends, the information's there. It's been there. And if you don't go check it out now, it might not be there forever. I appreciate you all.
Starting point is 01:19:47 I'm praying for every single person affected by this storm. What we are seeing out there is absolute tragedy. And it seriously makes my heart break. All right, everyone. next video. I will talk to you all very soon. That was in the air. I mean, he makes great points. He does. And it also reminds me, too, guys, of the Maui fires.
Starting point is 01:20:06 This is exactly what I think we're seeing that they're trying to do what they did in Maui to Asheville, North Carolina. They're trying to declare Asheville as a disaster zone. And you can no longer go back to your homes. That land is no longer yours. It now belongs to the government. is a government grab of land. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:20:28 If this is the truth, if this is really lithium underneath Asheville, and they're telling people, you know, generations and generations of people that have lived in Asheville, you can't come back to your home and we now own your land. Yeah. I mean, I know this sounds like a conspiracy and it is a conspiracy, but right now I don't trust anyone in the government. it. Now, I have another clip that we got to play because we got to get to quite a few clips before we get any further.
Starting point is 01:21:01 But blue balls from the sky. So I'm going to tell you, just listen to this audio clip, hear this woman out before we get too much into conspiracy. And we're going to wrap all this up with a couple of other clips. But we have to get everything out just so you guys are well informed, understand what all of the theories are. for your record keeping, I guess I could say. Here you go. Pam, and I have some mind-blowing dot connecting about Hurricane Helene. I'm going to start here.
Starting point is 01:21:37 This lady sent this picture from South Africa. You all know I covered the blob anomaly and South Africa's crazy weather. These blue jelly balls were raining on this lady's parents. She asked me to look into this. here's how this went. And trust me, it links back to this. And it's mind-blowing. Hurricane Hillie.
Starting point is 01:22:01 I start to look into the jellyballs. Knowing it's not a craft project raining from the sky, I move on. I find that this is not the first time that blue jellyballs have been raining from the sky. This was 2012. We'll get back to that. I came across this. Blue jelly balls look kind of similar. And this is talking about how we could be drawn.
Starting point is 01:22:22 drinking from water bottles made of these like gummy balls. Sounds charming. Let's move on. Thank goodness scientists looked into this and found out it was not marine eggs. These jelly blue balls raining from the sky were made of sodium polyacrylate. So I find out that polyacrylate has an impact on temperature and it can be used for cooling and reflecting. It is not biodegradable and doesn't decompose quickly in. nature, which is a little concerning if it's raining from the sky. So I go back to looking for anything that look like a jelly blueball that might rain from the sky, and I found this. This is droplet mixing
Starting point is 01:23:04 with a Piazoelectric transducer. Piazoelectric transducers are a type of electroacoustic sound transducer that converts the electrical charges produced by some forms of solid material into energy. It is energy-related. Remember that. So, I ask AI, what does this have to do with my blue rainy jellyballs? Cloud seeding. While Piazoelectric devices are not directly used for cloud seeding, they can contribute to the technology by helping control or monitor dispersal of the seeding materials like silver iodide, ultrasonic devices.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Again, we have a sound element here. They may use Piazo Electric. transducers to create sound waves that can influence cloud formation and precipitation. Would you look at those jelly blue balls? Things you never thought you'd say. There's a sciencey description here of how they're intertwined. But importantly, these hydrophilic polymers can absorb large amounts of water. And you're thinking probably right now, what's this got to do with Hurricane Helene? Trust me.
Starting point is 01:24:21 So we're energy, energy harvesting. Now, in my video last night, I included lithium mining. I tread carefully there because I had a video band. Now, here's the important thing, okay? The combination of piezoelectric transducers with blue polyacrylate hydrogels creates innovative solutions for sensing and energy harvesting applications. Again, with the energy harvesting. Trust me, this gets better.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Here's where a big lightning bulb went off. So this kind of magical property of converting energy from one source into something else that's usable occurs in certain materials, like quartz. Hold that thought. Again, we all know there's loads of lithium out there. Well, did you know there's a ton of quartz like $530 billion worth of quartz? You may be aware that the growing use of AI is going to require a staggering amount of power. Well, it turns out that quartz,
Starting point is 01:25:21 while not powering AI directly has properties that enable the hardware that powers AI to function effectively. Okay, we're going to go back to sound now. Another message from South Africa about hearing a strange humming and sound pulsing. Well, guess what else has been heard in some of these freaky storms? Please, you know it's sound. So, from the comments, I quickly gathered that this sounds like an instrument called a Shafar, Here's what that sounds like. Definitely very similar.
Starting point is 01:26:03 Wrapping this journey that we've just been on, thanks to the jelly blue balls, some experimental weather modification techniques involve ultrasonic devices, which may use Piazoelectric transducers to create sound waves that can influence cloud formation and precipitation. Is this large presence of quartz
Starting point is 01:26:28 a dot we need to connect? is the lithium a dot we need to connect. The sound are the jelly blue balls involved. This concludes this deep dive for now. Anyone interested in emergency communications, see my playlist Hurricane Coms for how to get started and how to use radio in an emergency. And hey, while you're at it, get your ham radio license. There you go.
Starting point is 01:26:53 So that's GM ham radio that is talking about this. And listen, so the sound wave aspect is. this. And the blue balls. What she's talking about here is you have these blue balls. Think of this as nanoparticles. If you've heard anything about nanoparticles, potentially in vaccines, allegedly, all this stuff, graphene oxide, the silver iodized stuff that they actually used for cloud seeding. But then you think about these blue balls that have been falling from the sky in various regions of the world, including in Africa and especially South Africa. And we saw this blob anomaly that was coming out from South or sorry from Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:27:35 And this blob anomaly that was on radar into thin air covered this. She did as well. Many others covered this. This blob anomaly that made its way from Antarctica, you know, basically off the coast of Africa. When that was happening, you started seeing these blue balls from falling from the sky. They look like marbles, essentially. But then as she goes into this deep dive. Some of these blue marble-shaped jelly balls, you know, they house things that reflect or connect with energy, sound waves, and etc.
Starting point is 01:28:12 to be able to replicate, energize, or ionize the atmosphere. Now, if you guys go back to our episode with Alana Freeland, where she talks about how they charge the atmosphere. Right. And she talked about how they charge the atmosphere, but she didn't go in necessarily detail of blue ball. or jelly balls or whatever. But what this lady is talking about is, could this be the delivery process of those particles to be able to get into the system,
Starting point is 01:28:40 to energize the system, to be able to form more clouds essentially... And direct them. Yeah, direct them. Well, not necessarily even direction in this case, but at the very least, you have this energizing effect of blue balls that are reflective to say,
Starting point is 01:28:57 what maybe into thin air was seen on radar, which was a, it almost looked like a laser beam or some type of beam that was shooting into this system. And so what was shooting into the system? It was some type of energizing device that maybe was connecting with some of these type of ball devices that was then forming more clouds infuriating this storm, making a, a four-war storm. And then, by the way, how long did that go? Because one of the things I had said was just how powerful this storm was inland.
Starting point is 01:29:29 We've not seen this in a very long time. How many of you've ever seen a hurricane that's gone up four or five states into United States of America? And then still have a very well-defined eye across Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and then it stopped. It's almost like as soon as it got to North Carolina, it's set there. It did its damage. And it did its damage four days after they had already been charged with this insane rain that was just streaming into the region, flooding out western North Carolina three or four days before this ever happened
Starting point is 01:30:01 and then you have a very defined system we've never seen a system this defined so far inland from the point of contact which was the upper peninsula of Florida into Georgia into South Carolina and North Carolina we've just not seen a system with such a defined eye
Starting point is 01:30:18 and I remember I tell you guys this when I was looking at radar that morning at 5.30 6 o'clock in the morning 44 is when we woke up when we first woke up up because we heard roaring. We heard the winds. And I said, you know, let me look at radar. We had power still.
Starting point is 01:30:35 And I looked at radar. And I saw, I was like, this looks like a massive hurricane still. Yes. I had, I had everything around it. Yeah. I mean, and so when you looked at us, our little blue dot on radar, I was like, we're on the east wall. We're going to get the worst of the worst winds.
Starting point is 01:30:51 And we did because, you know, when we stepped out of our neighborhood or set up our house. We had shit everywhere. There were trees down every 100 feet. You went anywhere in this region. Trees were everywhere. And so although yes, western North Carolina had wind as well. They probably did not have the intensity of the wind that we had here. Right. They had more flooding, I think. Well, we had, we're an hour away from them. And so when this hurricane kind of hit the mountains, obviously, that's going to disrupt. Even if, even if signals or frequencies or magnetic waves or whatever was coming into the system, that would disrupt it from the mountainous region, but you don't need a ton of wind when you've already been flooded for days prior to the actual
Starting point is 01:31:38 system coming over your region. Right. You know, if you have 40 and 50 and 60 mile an hour winds, on top of all the rain, you're going to get flooded. You're going to have massive tree damage. But the flooding in Western North Carolina is what took out everything. Yes. And in South Carolina, our winds.
Starting point is 01:31:55 were like up to 80 to 100 miles an hour, I think, Chad. Yeah, the gust for sure, yeah. You know, we're still talking about people just around our region, around our community that are still without power. We're on day seven. Yeah. And so this is what Biden also said when he was asked. He said, Biden just said there will be no additional resources given to the areas
Starting point is 01:32:16 pummeled by Hurricane Helena. I got to play you this clip. We're trying to get through all the clips, guys. And I know we feel like we're rushed. We're not. I mean, we have not done an episode in like seven days. So we're just here. And look, tomorrow we might not have internet.
Starting point is 01:32:31 So, and then this weekend, we are going to be in the mountains. And we'll talk about that a little more in just a second. But here's what Biden said when reporters ask him outside of Air Force One about this situation. So the reporter asked him, are there any more resources you are going to give them? He says no. They got the resources they got. That's what he said. It's what the president of the United States said to a reporter.
Starting point is 01:33:42 And on top of what Mayork has already said, we do not have money for these people. We have money and we have siphoned money a billion plus dollars to illegal immigrants that are in our country. We have used in the emergency FEMA funds for illegal immigrants in our country. And so what Mayorka said was, we do not have money for you citizens that are dying in the mountains of West North client and that is sickening. That should piss off every single one of you. Well, he did say they're meeting their needs, but obviously they're not.
Starting point is 01:34:15 No, they're absolutely not. And guys, listen, you know, I know that, you know, leading into this election, if the Harris regime gets elected, you guys may no longer be able to listen to podcasts like us. I'm telling you, there is a resolution in the house right now
Starting point is 01:34:33 that was presented by Adam Schiff, of course, Shifty Schiff as Trump calls him. But he presented this resolution on behalf of the Democrats to say he sent a letter to Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, all of the social media platforms saying you must do more to censor disinformation and misinformation. That's what he said.
Starting point is 01:34:56 It's on video. He's talked about it. It's in the resolution. But for those of you that don't know what disinformation is, tell him, Chad, just to make sure. No, well, malware information is what you're talking about. Well, they're saying, but any of us bullshit. Disinformation, misinformation is all BS. That means supposedly that you are intentionally lying.
Starting point is 01:35:17 There's one of them that means you're intentionally lying to try to spread disinformation. Misinformation says that you're lying or not lying, but you're spreading information not necessarily true according to their definitions. And then, which is, by the way, what the government does on a everyday basis, they do, they do absolutely disinformation, which they know they're lying. They're spreading it. And they're going to make sure that they tell you what they want you to believe, whether it's true or not.
Starting point is 01:35:44 That's disinformation. The biggest, the biggest perpetrators of disinformation is the United States government and mainstream media, number one. Those are the people that are the biggest disseminating factors of disinformation, lying media, propaganda is what is called, by the way. You might as well just quit saying disinformation. That's called propaganda. Now, misinformation means that you're saying something that you don't know is true or not, but you're saying it.
Starting point is 01:36:11 Then you have malinformation, which means that it is true, but it is detrimental to our agenda or our narrative. And we don't want you to say it. I guess the definitions have changed once again. I mean, that's just that that is the definition. So also along the same path of when this hurricane was coming in, obviously we had a massive port, you know, issue that that's going on right now. We have a port strike, which is going to heavily affect Americans. And depending on when this happens, now, will Kamala come out all of a sudden to be the
Starting point is 01:36:45 saving grace of this port strike to save America? I don't know. I don't necessarily think they're setting her up for this. I think they're using the port strike and not negotiating, not getting people to table, because they want to hurt America even further going into this election. And you think about it's all on the East Coast. Yeah. We've already been...
Starting point is 01:37:05 Well, no, it's on the West Coast as well. Well, it goes all the way from Maine to Texas. Yeah, it does. It's Maine to Texas. But now West Coast. The East Coast is also doing the same. The West Coast is doing the same thing now. They've announced port strikes on the West Coast as well.
Starting point is 01:37:20 Now, obviously, most ports, to Sherry's Point, is on the East Coast. And there are also ports in Texas. But yes, there are now ports on the West Coast in California. They're also striking. Well, part of the strike on the East Coast was trying to, to make the same money as the people on the West Coast? Well, the main thing is they want a, I think they said 70% increase in revenue in their, not revenue, but in their salaries.
Starting point is 01:37:48 And then you have the guy that's speaking out for all of this. He makes, what, $785,000 a year. Yeah, $785,000 a year. So I want to get to another clip. This is Pete Buttigug that announces private drones are restricted from floor. over hurricane areas. This is also something new because there are a lot of drone pilots that have thermal imaging capabilities in western North Carolina that can go and find people that are trapped in areas
Starting point is 01:38:17 that people cannot get to. And then Pete Buttigug comes out with this. The goal is to make sure that funding is no obstacle to very quickly getting people the relief that they need and deserve. There's also some safety issues that come up. For example, temporary flight restrictions to make sure that. that the airspace is clear for any flights or drone activity that might be involved in helping to allow those emergency responders to do their job.
Starting point is 01:38:46 Now, Pete Buttigieg is saying that we have a new rule that is coming out and saying you are not a lot of fly drones over hurricane areas. And what you also have to understand is like even the ability to fly drones commercially now in most cases is you got you got to have, I think it's part 107. seven you have to actually go for your certification, your license and all that stuff. Now, I don't know. This could be nothing. It could be something.
Starting point is 01:39:12 There are people that are trying to fly drones in Western North Carolina that are capable of having thermal imaging on them to be able to locate people that are trapped. And then, of course, this new rule comes out, this new law that says, you're not allowed to do that. Very similar to right after that helicopter pilot, try to save that couple. he saved one of them. He left the husband up on the mountain. And then it wasn't 30 or 45 minutes later.
Starting point is 01:39:42 You had a TFR temporary flight restrictions that says no pilots or anything can access this area. That's what a TFR is. And that happened no longer than 30 or 45 minutes later. This is all constructed. This is all for some reason or another. This is all something that is happening for a reason. And we can get into all the theories, but I got to play something else. Video proof, police in Asheville, North Carolina with Asheville City Police are threatening Hurricane Helene victims with arrest for trying to save their belongings.
Starting point is 01:40:17 Check this up. And these are, I believe, also business owners. But this is the conversation between a resident slash business owner and Asheville City Police. Listen to this conversation. Look, I'm just saying. We are doing goddamn water. Step over here just so people don't amp you up, right? So, again, I get it.
Starting point is 01:40:39 You guys got told by her. She gave me instructions to talk to you guys, that you guys have already gotten ample amount of time. I don't know what she told you. I'm giving you guys a warning. That's it. Just please back up for me. That's literally it.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Do you see us trying to get our stuff? I got you. I don't know what you guys been doing. Again, this is. I did. Yeah, that's perfectly fine. Again, I don't know what you guys been doing. I'm just giving you guys this morning that we're trying to get people.
Starting point is 01:41:06 So if I had to come back out over here, like, I don't know, like, the jail is processing, all right? That's it. I'm not, I'm, that's the last. So let me, so you're going to take us to jail. Come here. I'm not taking you to jail. You're going to take, you guys. You're threatening to take me to jail for trying to get our stuff off our property so the crackheads don't get it, right?
Starting point is 01:41:35 So he had come in, Asheville City Police came in, and this was a business. on her actually in Nashville. And they said, look, you guys are not allowed to be here. They were trying to get all of their possessions out of their business. They come along and say, you are gone. This is a warning. If we come back, then you, yeah, we're going to arrest you. And that's the end of story.
Starting point is 01:41:55 And we told you guys at the beginning of this podcast, what's really going on, this eluding stuff is going on like the lady told you in the first video. She said, if you're going to be in this area, you better be carrying in the safety better be off. And she also went to mention desperate people desperate times. Absolutely. And I don't think it's just desperate people. I think it's times for criminals get out there and still, you know, like even in our
Starting point is 01:42:23 neighborhood, I would say one in four houses had generators out there and most of them were on the driveway. Well, it's pitch black in our neighborhood. So it's so easy to do looting and things like that. of that nature now when it's all black and there's no power. Yeah, for sure. We actually saw 10 people walking down our street in all black. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:49 Yeah, it's actually probably 13 because then there was another three that came behind him. I got strapped though. Get strapped or get clapped. Get strapped or clapped. Here's another theory. This is hypothetical, but just listen to this because we're getting through all the audio because we have a lot more to talk about after this episode. As long as we can keep our internet, man, we got the world.
Starting point is 01:43:09 War three situations about to break off in the Middle East with Israel and Iran. This situation, whether you know it or not right now, it is about to blow up in the Middle East. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm talking about massively blow up. And we have all of that to cover. So we're trying to cover as much of this as we can. Also, we're probably going to cover Israel, Iran tomorrow. And then this weekend, hopefully we're going to be in the mountains, trying to help people.
Starting point is 01:43:35 And I want to say this, we're going to push the boundaries. in the mountains this weekend because we're not going to be told that you're not allowed to be in a public area. Now, whether or not they declared this a disaster area or whatever the case is, we're going to document everything. We're going to put it on video and I will push it as far as we can. If we have to get arrested for this. Not we, you, because I'm going to have cash on hand to get you out of jail.
Starting point is 01:44:02 Okay. Well, I'm just telling you, we're going to be there. Our main goal is to help people, but I, you're not going to tell us not to. help people. You're not going to tell us we can't access public access domain or a public access area or a road. And apparently they are doing this on a heavy scale in the mountains of North Carolina right now. And we're going to we're going to go see if this is true. Yeah. And it's complete bullshit that they're doing this. And also we have a lot of we have a lot of I guess rabbit holes, communications, numbers, officials, people that we are going to be
Starting point is 01:44:37 contacting over the next four days. Yes. So this. This Hurricane Helene thing is not done for us. Oh, yeah. We have compiled list of names and numbers. Yes. From people that are directly accessing and involved in the situation. So as we get that information, we're going to be releasing that to you guys as well. But we have to go down the trail of what's really going on, what's not.
Starting point is 01:45:00 And we got to go all the way down from pilots to people that are getting supplies to the people that are receiving those supplies and seeing what their response is from either FEMA, the government, emergency management, etc. And are those supplies actually going to people? Exactly. Because we're going to get to the bottom of it, make no mistake. So, yeah, let's listen to this clip. What does this mean?
Starting point is 01:45:23 This is North Carolina here. What does this mean? Edmont lithium has bought local homes to make room for their project. Did North Carolina have some kind of lithium mine or something? Basically says there are local lithium mines that Albemoro is trying to buy in Piedmont is trying to buy. Gaston County is anti-DF mines. So this is just the first part of this. Gaston County, there's signs all around the mountains saying anti-Lithium mines.
Starting point is 01:46:10 Hey guys. So I just want to let you guys know. The locals here have a negative view on the government stance on the lithium mines. My cows are mad right now because they want to move into the other field, but I'm making them wait until the rain lets up in the afternoon because I have to refense a certain section. This is what lithium mining looks like in Chile. Here in the Solar de Atacama, in a region of the world known as the lithium trium, nearly one-third of the world's lithium is produced from brines.
Starting point is 01:46:46 So from this plant here, how many electric vehicles are you powering? Today, about 50,000, and we should be able to get up to 75,000 EVs every single year. With demand for electric vehicles and the lithium ion batteries that power them, at an all-time high, Chile's vast salt slots have become a vital national resource. They contain the largest and some of the highest quality lithium reserves in the world. This, the Salada Atacama, represents the best lithium brines in the world because it has about 2,000 parts per million of lithium concentrated in it. This is also the most cost-effective place to produce lithium in the world.
Starting point is 01:47:25 In the brine mining process, extremely salty water from an underground reservoir is pumped to the surface and evaporated in large, extravagantly colored ponds, leaving high concentrations of lithium behind. The demand for it is skyrocketing, the price of it is skyrocketing, and the capacity that Chile has to exploit this resource is. almost limitless. But Chile is actually losing market share to Australia, where lithium is mined from hard rock, and Argentina, where the country is welcoming international investment. Many say that Chile must act fast to ramp production, before other countries beat them to it, or new battery tech is developed.
Starting point is 01:47:57 It's not clear how big a window of opportunity Chile has to take advantage of this white gold. Now, Chile's president, Gabriel Boric, has announced a long-awaited plan for the development of the country's lithium industry. has to take advantage of this white gold to take advantage of this white gold news in hawaii right now at least a thousand people are still missing as the deadly wildfires so you go and listen this is like a space race or it's like the the nuclear cold war is who's going to get to it first right who is going to capitalize on this multi-billion if not trillion dollar industry the united states obviously knows that you know, when they left Afghanistan, that was a heavy lithium deposit mining area,
Starting point is 01:48:44 according to many. We don't know that for sure you guys can do your own research. But what we do know is that the biggest lithium deposits potentially are in the mountains of Western North Carolina. That's just a conspiracy theory. Nothing to see here. We don't know for sure. It's just we're just trying to point this out.
Starting point is 01:49:01 Now, I think without closing, we can't not get to this. This is Alex Jones. The secret history of weather. weapons that appear to be used on Hurricane Helene. And we're going to talk about some of the patents here. And then we're going to close this off with this. But we got to get to at least this episode of Alex Jones talking about this. It's very important.
Starting point is 01:49:23 I think that we have to get into this before we close this. Listen here, guys. I don't think we're going to. You know, people should hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I agree with you. There's a very good chance. The globalists know they've already tried to kill Trump. They know everything's backfiring.
Starting point is 01:49:47 We interrupt our program to bring you this important message. All other networks lie to you about what's happening now. InfoWars tells you the truth about what's happening next. Visit infowars.com forward slash show and share the link today. Let's go to Anna in California on weather weapons. I just covered that. Anna, what's your take? To let you know, Alex, personally, I'm very, very proud of you. I've known you since Bohemian Grove the first time.
Starting point is 01:50:16 Secondly, a man named Dame Wigington with geoengineeringwatch.org, he has the, I think it's called Nextrad footage, satellite footage of the ionization in process with the hurricane. Yeah, in fact, let's get Dane Whittington on tomorrow. He's been on the show probably 20 times the last 15, 20 years. Yeah, and if you go to his site, geoengineeringwatch.org, he's got the footage right there. Somehow he's able to get that. And it's right there, black and white, the next red. He just uses the government has scopes you can find online of all the radars. They're using to manipulate the weather and satellites.
Starting point is 01:51:00 So yeah. He's very, very good at the science end of things. But I listened to his podcast yesterday, and he's not able to connect the dots like you are as to why they wanted to target that area. and I was going to ask, but you and previous callers answered the question. It's related to the election. So it's just one more stop, the weather weapons that they're pulling out on us right now. So mostly I just wanted to call attention to the fact that Dame Wigington has the good. Like, it's right there.
Starting point is 01:51:34 You can see it in real time. You know, I was actually thinking of him about an hour ago and thinking, I ought to get him on, because, you know, he's really an expert, and there's a lot of other great ones as well. but we'll do that. Call Day Winnington guys, see we get him on tomorrow. Thank you so much, Annie. I'm glad you held to say that. Wow. Great idea. Hurricane Helene, that eerily landed on the same day as its counterpart in 1958, was witnessed by a St. Petersburg resident who described the scene as the water came out of nowhere.
Starting point is 01:52:01 The water was parallel to the beach for hours, so once the hurricane moved up in east, it just brought the Gulf with it. A hurricane moves to shore makes landfall. Okay, at 1110 p.m. moving at 22 miles an hour off of the Gulf of Mexico whose ambient temperatures presumably 88, 90 degrees. Okay, I'll give you that. That's a lot of energy. There's a lot of power there that you've got the Gulf Stream and all that stuff. Said hurricane continues to move. And over the course of the next 12 hours, covers 479.2 miles. with no water. Explain that to me,
Starting point is 01:52:47 that a hurricane is driven by the energy that it pulls in from the heat of the warm water, supposedly, from what I understand, I am no Ned Permi meteorologist, okay? However, this thing doubled in speed and went across devastating, dropping,
Starting point is 01:53:05 may might as well have pulled the entire Gulf of Mexico up and sprinkled it over the next six states. Man, if I, if that, is a thousand year flood. This is a 5,000 year flood. The biggest thing is the Doppler radars on the ground, the next red. I talked to an engineer who said, look, we're putting in
Starting point is 01:53:23 the power cables and the power relays, these Dopplers, and they're 10 times what you need. He goes, unless you're using them to ionize the atmospheres, and they admit even at low level it has some effect, but when you crank these son of a bitches up, excuse my French, they can absolutely control the weather. It's an absolute monster.
Starting point is 01:53:40 Now, there's something else kind of shooting out here underneath this layer of moisture over the southeast. It looks like it's coming from either northern Florida or a radar tower in southern Georgia. But the main one right here, look at this big beam that shoots down right to about here. That's where we're expecting landfall, give or take. Take a look. It's coming from up in this area and it shoots down right to about here where we're expecting landfall. I'll move forward and you'll pretty much see it right away. There it is now. Boom, right here. Okay, so now we're going to zoom in and see exactly where this thing points to because that is not your normal beam that you see coming from
Starting point is 01:54:11 these radar. It's definitely coming from the state of Georgia. probably underneath this mess here. It's coming this way, and there's a cross of that other beam, either coming from northern Florida or southern Georgia. The rest of the horses are trapped next to the barn. We cut all the fences so they could try to get out. Everything's going. And as the devastation destroyed entire cities within Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas,
Starting point is 01:54:37 causing Conyers, Georgia to shelter in place due to a biolab fire, the multicolored plume of smoke from the biolab fire created an ominous cloud over Conyers Sunday, prompting law enforcement to go door-to-door evacuating residents in its path. President Joe Biden sat on a beach in Delaware making phone calls. On the hurricane, Mr. President, why weren't she you in Vice President Harris here in Washington
Starting point is 01:55:00 commanding this this weekend? I was commanded. I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before it was 12. I command. It's called the telephone. Kamala ignored it, and Donald Trump rushed to the aid of Americans. Ashfield, among the hardest hit, tonight, remains largely cut off from relief,
Starting point is 01:55:19 frustrating residents. Nobody's going to help us. I mean, I don't know what we're going to do. Do you have any faith in the federal response here? No. No. Where the death toll remains unknown as areas are unreachable. Volunteers and complete strangers are coming together here in the Black Mountain area of North Carolina with privately owned helicopters. And what they're doing, they're shuttling in food, water, and emergency supplies trying to help families in the hardest hit communities of the mountains of Western North Carolina. All of the helicopters that you see on the ground right now, these are all private citizens
Starting point is 01:55:54 helicopters. They volunteered their time. They volunteered their effort to come out. Right now, majority of the roads that are in and out are completely impassable. They don't know when they can get up and running to actually get emergency management services out to these locations. So our best hope is through aerial recovery or aerial delivery. Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris nightmare won't let up as eight alleged men.
Starting point is 01:56:14 migrants have been arrested in eastern Tennessee for robbing flood victims as local communities try to recover from apocalyptic flooding. And as America is crippled, billions of dollars, along with 700 National Guard troops stationed in Nashville, Tennessee, have been sent overseas, a bookend to the betrayal of the United States by the Biden-Harris regime. John Bound reporting for InfoWars. So already go. That is basically summing up some of the conspiracy theories around the Hurricane Helene. Now, you guys can take it for what it's worth, right? They are conspiracy theories as of now, right?
Starting point is 01:56:57 And what is the difference between a conspiracy theory and a fact, six months? That's exactly right, six months, because it's going to be true in six months or even before that. Yeah. We're going to see what's going to happen with the land in Asheville, North Carolina, and the surrounding areas in the mountains, are these going to be... Is it going to be like Maui? Yeah. Is it going to be designated natural disaster area to where the government comes in, takes
Starting point is 01:57:21 the land, or they bulldoze the land over, and these homeowners that have been there for generations and generations and generations like many of my family in the mountains of North Carolina are no longer going to have land to go back to. That is the question. And, you know, our government right now, it seems like they're pulling out all stops. You know, in the very beginning of that video with Alex Jones, they talk about they fear there will not be an election in November. Now, we can't say if that's true or not. I think there probably will be.
Starting point is 01:57:50 We cannot say to that degree. I know that a lot of these people out there are like, oh, there's not going to be election. No, maybe there isn't. But we do have the potential for World War III coming up with the Middle East. You got Russia that's potentially back in Iran. You have China that is also kind of on the side of Iran, which both of those countries hate the United States because the United States hates them. And the United States consistently tries to back them in the corners on a regular basis. The United States is using Ukraine as a proxy to attack Russia as soon as China goes and to invade Taiwan,
Starting point is 01:58:22 which more than likely, if you think about even the Taiwan situation, Taiwan is very friendly with the United States. Taiwan is almost yet another Ukraine. And Taiwan is going to be another Ukraine. They are going to be another proxy to China. And then what does China and Russia have in? common. Well, they are anti, what seems to be anti-new world order, anti-global governance. They care about their own countries. They want to make sure that they control their countries. And so what is the tool, potentially in my mind, that, you know, that the World Economic Forum and the
Starting point is 01:58:57 globalists want to use, it is the United States and NATO they want to use to take out these last remaining countries that are not on board with the globalist agenda. And that's also why I think you're seeing the breakdown of America as we know it because not only do we want to use NATO and America to destroy the countries that are still holding out from this globalist agenda such as Russia and China, but you also have to understand that America was one of the main holdout countries with patriotism and camaraderie and the people that love America and the Constitution Republic. They are destroying that now from within. So if they can destroy, destroy that, utilize the powers of United States and NATO to destroy the countries that are also holding out.
Starting point is 01:59:41 That is when we have a global governance. That's also why, if you want to know why, you would have devastation like we have and the money aspect and all this stuff, the amount of power and technology and all that stuff that's involved now is insane. Well, I have to mention that Biden did say he wanted to be the global leader of all of this that's going on. But I want to pinpoint back to the east real quick. in with the port strikes. Because not only have we been devastated by a hurricane, there are other hurricanes coming in, which could potentially damage places that have already been damaged.
Starting point is 02:00:19 But we also have to remember what's happening with these port strikes. There are tons of ships on the East Coast that can't come in. We only have one grocery store like in our area that locally is open. Everyone took everything already. the first night that we did the podcast, I said, well, fortunately, people are not taking paper towels and toilet paper. This is weird that they're not taking it. They are now. But as soon as they heard about this port strike, everyone is trying to gather up paper products now.
Starting point is 02:00:52 And it's just like a man, it's like a man, fight a man world. Like whoever can get it first is the one that wins. And this is what we're seeing now. And I worry, because we do have. elderly dogs that, you know, pee. Then we can't help it. And I got to have paper towels. Yeah, it's a very strange thing.
Starting point is 02:01:13 What's going on in the world? But we've been saying this for six or eight months, guys, to you guys. We've said something major is going to happen leading up this election. This is going to be one of the worst years we ever experienced. And I'm telling you, we're seeing it right now. We're going to continue to see it. And I wanted to mention, too, you know, thank God. We have a grocery store that is open.
Starting point is 02:01:31 And they are starting to get perishable items back in. such as milk, eggs, you know, those kind of things. But I'm telling you, there's some price gouging going on. For sure. We went to the grocery. Yeah. We went to the grocery store today. It was, was it $8 for a dozen of eggs?
Starting point is 02:01:48 Yeah, just regular, random public's eggs, about seven or eight bucks. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what we're seeing in the grocery stores. And you've got to think about the people that have gone through this. They've lost everything. You think about everything in your refrigerator. You don't really think about that, but ketchup, mustard,
Starting point is 02:02:05 mayonnaise, all that stuff. We had to throw it all away. That's a lot of money to throw away. You think about all of your freezer products. You think about the grocery store, you know, all their products. It's all gone to dumps. And we're having to rebuild. Well, it's hard to rebuild when prices in the grocery store are so expensive.
Starting point is 02:02:24 Now double from what it was when you had them. Even like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise. I mean, it's hard to even come on that right now. Like, we, I had to go search down aisles just to get those products. And it wasn't necessarily the products that I wanted, but I was like, yeah, I'm going to get it. I'm going to grab it. But it's like $6 for mustard. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:43 And I mean, yeah, and then the eggs and milk and all that stuff. I mean, all the prices have skyrocketed. So now what everybody is throwing away, now they got to go back to the store right now. And they have to repurchase everything that was in their refrigerator. For double. And it goes with gas prices too. I mean, there's so many, there's so many gas stations that are open and there's so many that are still closed because of power outages and people are lining up.
Starting point is 02:03:06 I'm not talking. I'm talking like two hours. Yeah. In line just to get gas. Yeah. There are people literally across the street from us at a local college community that are in line for water and what are they called MREs? Yeah, MREs.
Starting point is 02:03:22 They go and sit in line for three hours a day just to get food. Yeah. It's crazy. And that's just here in the upstate of South Carolina. We're, we are, well, I mean, in some part. So we border Western North Carolina. So, you know, we're either 10 minutes away, five minutes away from Western North Carolina or for us, we're about an hour away from my moms. We're probably 35 minutes away, 30 minutes from North Carolina.
Starting point is 02:03:49 Probably 30 minutes from North Carolina. And so this anticipation of, I guess, what I would say, disaster. And by the way, this biochemical lab that exploded in Georgia. Yeah, that was crazy too. and we didn't hear anything more about it except for on Sunday. And Chad was like, we had really shoddy internet and we couldn't like read anything about it. But we did see some kind of weird stuff in the sky. Yeah, I mean, after that, because this happened in Conyers, Georgia, I believe.
Starting point is 02:04:20 So if you look at the jet stream and kind of how the airflow goes, it would have came right over Western North Carolina, South Carolina. That's where all of that plume of toxic chemicals would have went. It would have went in an atmosphere. And then eventually it's just, I mean, it's the same way as you would think of it as a nuclear fallout. There's going to be fallout from that as well. And how many of us are going to be affected by that? Because it was probably two or three hours after this biochemical explosion in Georgia. We started seeing these dark, ominous, weird looking cloud formations in our skies.
Starting point is 02:04:56 And so that probably takes about three or four hours for it to make its way to our region. And we saw that in the sky that night. We even felt like rain or some. Yeah, rain drops coming down from nothing. But there was nothing on radar. There was, it was very, very strange. Guys, we're in a very desperate time in this country. And one thing I can tell you, if you look at the situation in the mountains,
Starting point is 02:05:19 even if you're without power for five or six days and you experience this. And it gives you a wake up just to understand that, you know, our systems and the things that you guys take for granted. we take for granted and everybody takes for granted, you know, those things can be taken away instantly. And when they are, and then they don't. Yeah. And then they don't come back or, you know, there is no end in sight.
Starting point is 02:05:44 What are you going to do? How are you going to be prepared? I am going to, I'm going to just plead with you guys again. The things that you need to be buying is things that will make you be able to survive long run for an extended period of time. whether that is food supplies, whether that is, I mean, I would say generators, but you better have fuel. Or at the very least, they sell solar electric generators or I guess what you can call solar generators where they're electric. They're not, they're not as powerful, obviously, as the gas generators in most cases.
Starting point is 02:06:18 And they're not the cheapest, but they are solar. Can they keep your refrigerator going? Yes, they can. They can. They can keep freezers or refrigerators going. They're not going to keep your whole house going, but they can keep those things going. and they can charge your phones. They can do all that.
Starting point is 02:06:32 And, you know, even if you have ham radio systems and battery backups and all that, I would also encourage people sharing how we're talking about this, you know, get into Ham Radio. Start researching it at least and see if that's something that, you know, maybe you want to get into. One of the most popular channels on scanner radio, which is an app that you guys can go download, you can listen to various emergency officials or crews or whatever the case is. One of the most popular frequencies that people are listening to. to was the ham radio frequency for that for the southeast in particular they were talking in north carolina all this this is the only form of communication for a lot of people for a lot of people
Starting point is 02:07:08 and it was ham radio and most people don't have that no 90% of people don't have that 96% of people probably do not have ham radios but it's something that you should consider at least getting into and maybe investing in that food supplies sustainability items cash cash on hand because i'm telling you the only things that were open it was cash only yeah and we had no cash and i would say cash for sure is like definitely like short term a month a two months type thing but then also think about you know three or four five six month type deals think about um situations to where systems are not going to come back online what do i need how can i power this for an extended period of time without depending on gas without depending on propane everybody says do you have a generator or do you do you have this well you can have a
Starting point is 02:07:57 generator, but you've got to have fuel. Yeah. If you don't have gas, it goes out, is fuel. Yeah. There were no gas stations open. And still, they are very sparse. And you have to wait in line still. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:08 Today. And that's why I'm saying, too, invest in firewood. Because, you know, you can burn wood and you can heat food up and you can do a lot of things with just having firewood. Yeah. And by the way, I want to say this before we go, listen to us. This is probably the most important thing I will say. one of the people or one of the I guess what I would say I mean by the way so many of you have
Starting point is 02:08:30 have reached out to us and said hey how are you guys doing are you guys good you're you checked on us we appreciate that more than anything you guys it meant the world to us it really did just to know that you guys care about us and to reach out and say hey we're thinking about you and we care about you and we're praying about you know praying for you you know that's the best thing you can do for people out there right now for sure yeah just let them know you care but you know a surprising thing was iheart reached out to us which is our host this is our host is how we produce this podcast this is our i guess our um i don't know is it kind of like you would maybe consider like a record label for an artist but they are our host and uh they had a big time person
Starting point is 02:09:12 and reach out to us say hey we just want to let you guys know we saw you release the episode with hurricane lean we listen we appreciate you guys we anything we can do to help you anything you just let us know we're here for you And that was awesome for a company like IHeart to do that. They care about all their people. It doesn't matter necessarily about what your viewpoints are on this or this or that. And so the reason I want to say this is because if Kamala Harris's regime gets elected, they are desperately pushing towards censorship.
Starting point is 02:09:40 They want people to not be able to speak. They want you not to be able to hear podcasts like us ever again. They're already sending messages. The Congress and Senate are sending messages declarations to these. social media companies and saying you better start censoring speech or else. I mean, they're doing it again. They've been doing this and they're doing it again. And although Spotify has always been so good to us.
Starting point is 02:10:05 And we love Spotify. We, most of our audiences on Spotify. But what I will encourage you guys to do, I implore you guys to do is that if you care about messages, if you care about freedom of speech, if you care about actually listening to things that is true information or at least from our opinion and viewpoints and others, please go download the Spreker app is S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R. It is a podcast app, many, many podcasts. You probably listen to on Spotify or also on Spreaker. They are hosted there. And we are hosted there. That is our main platform. And in the event that say Spotify, which is a huge platform,
Starting point is 02:10:45 say they censor us or whatever the case is, at least you will have us on Spreaker, which is our host, you will be able to listen to us. We're also probably going to open up a members only section over on speaker because they have a supporters club over there. And I think that's what we're probably going to end up doing. We've been going back and forth. We've been reaching out to companies deciding whether we're going to do it ourselves or whatever.
Starting point is 02:11:08 And some companies, we thought we're promising. You know, we would reach out to them and say, hey, what is your policies? Because we did read your policies, but they're very vague as far as hate speech or this or that. I mean, very similar to like what you would see on YouTube or whatever. And we would reach out to them and say, hey, we want to come to your platform. We want to bring our people.
Starting point is 02:11:27 But they never would reach back back out to us. And that basically gave us our answer. And all we were asking was, are you guys going to censor us if we say the truth? Yeah, because we're not going to bring, you know, all of our family over there for you to ban us. No. And so they never reached back out to us. And so what I will say is more than likely we're going to go towards Spreeker, the supporters club, that as our members only thing to where we are a family.
Starting point is 02:11:53 community over there. We're going to utilize the Spreeker app, even on our phones. If we're going out, like for example, this weekend, we're going to try to get the Spricker app or sorry, the Supporters Club done by this weekend. So if we're in the mountains, we'll be able to just kind of quickly record what we're going through, what we're talking about. And then we're also going to have a video aspect of it to where you guys can just watch it as supporters or whatever the case may be over there.
Starting point is 02:12:19 But obviously, we will give you all an update. we're not driving towards a supporters only thing. We're always going to have our episodes. But if, you know, we do want just another platform to where you guys not only can listen to all of our episodes on Spreaker, but also if you want to support us and get the extra content, you can get it over there because they have supported us so heavily. They care about us. It seems like a family over die heart. Absolutely. And so we got to bring that up.
Starting point is 02:12:44 So there's probably more we can talk about with this. But we're going to stop there. We have so much more to talk about. we're just grateful and thankful to be back here on the microphone in the studio with power, with internet. Hot shower. Hot shower. Cold refrigerator.
Starting point is 02:13:00 Cold drinks. Cold Coke zero. Yeah. Yeah, we're very thankful. Oh, my gosh. We thought cut off. Yeah, we didn't even have ice for a week. And I don't know if you guys really understand, but it is not easy to drink warm drinks.
Starting point is 02:13:16 No. Like, that is a privilege, and I'm so glad to have that privilege back. I love Coke Zero. That is cold. Yeah. You love Coke Zero. You know, they're poisoning you with every sip. Well, I've been drinking it my whole life.
Starting point is 02:13:29 Yeah, I get that. You know, you got to have your little things. I get it. But guys, that's going to be it for us. We're going to close it with the same song we opened it with, Show Me Life. And I hope that we see a lot more life from all of you listening because you have to understand that life is all we have right now on this earth.
Starting point is 02:13:48 And after that, that's up to you. to decide. I decide God. I love God and I know that God's going to help the people in the mountains and all of those affected. Yeah, and we all need to pray for them. Absolutely. Please pray for those people. Guys, we love you so very much. We'll be back tomorrow with an episode more than likely on the Middle East situation. Until next time. We love you so much. Peace out. Peace out, guys. But I know you will turn it around It's up But the days won't come
Starting point is 02:15:34 Show me life Show me love Show me love This is how we got Show me like Show me love This is all we All we got
Starting point is 02:15:59 Show me love
