Best of the Program | Guest: Rep. Cory Mills | 10/4/24

Trip Planner by Expedia.

You were made to outdo your holiday,

your hammocking,

and your pooling.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia made to travel.

Well, today is a podcast you're just not going to get anywhere else.

I was in Asheville, North Carolina, and I witnessed tragedy and hope.

I mean, the experience that I had is

was just remarkable.

Remarkable.

I was reassured.

Yeah, that's who Americans are.

Also, it reconfirmed, yep, that's who our government is.

I'll tell you the experience, the good, bad, and the ugly on today's podcast from North Carolina, the story of Hurricane Helene.

Today is the day that you could make an important decision.

You could keep your current cell phone plan, you know, the one where you shell out big money every month, the big mobile corporations donating to leftist causes that are destroying our country, or you switch to Patriot Mobile, who will charge way less, they share your values, and they're fighting for the Constitution.

Choice is really pretty simple.

I'm a huge fan of Patriot Mobile, the things they are doing.

Actually, got a cell phone just because I want to use their service.

Patriot Mobile shares your values, won't send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

You're going to get the same nationwide service, all while supporting a company that loves America, loves God, supports our police.

Switching is easy right now.

When you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll get a whole month for free.

They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and glorify God always.

It's patriotmobile.com/slash Beck.

Why haven't you joined yet?

972 Patriot.

Free month of service.

If you joined today, patriotmobile.com/slashbeck, slash back 972 Patriot.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

Congressman Corey Mills, if you don't know who this guy is, and you might not

because he's he's always just busy doing things.

I mean, you know, I'll get a call from him and be like,

yeah,

I'm in the jungles of Vietnam.

We think we know where the POWs are and we're just going to get them out.

He's just everywhere doing stuff.

He's like a real-life action hero, but he's also a congressman.

He's running

his campaign.

His campaign people are freaking out.

They're like, this is a close election, Corey.

You know, and he's like, the people in my district are okay.

They weren't hit by the hurricane.

They're okay.

I can't go to my maker and say, yeah, I could help these people, you know, in another state, but I had a campaign to run.

He said, I can't do it.

And so I told him yesterday, I don't know where I'm going to find time to do this, but I said,

let me go campaign for you.

Let me just go do a speech or something for you while you're up here

because I believe in this guy.

This guy should shame every member of Congress, should shame every member of Congress.

The power of what one person can do when coupled with other people is absolutely amazing.

Don't ever count yourself out as, I can't do it.

Do you realize that this audience is playing a major role in a major historic disaster?

You are.

By giving to Mercury One, I can't tell you how many people I met and they were like, we couldn't have done it without your audience.

We cannot do it without you.

You have no idea.

You know, all of the oxygen on every

county ambulance now is provided by this audience.

They ran, they blew through all of their supply.

They weren't prepared for this.

You know, nobody's prepared for something of this scale.

And they were like, we're out of oxygen.

We got oxygen.

We have pallets now of O2 that we flew in.

We're filling transport planes.

When I left the airport, one of our transport planes was flying down, I think, to Florida to pick up other supplies and flying back overnight.

It's remarkable.

And FEMA

is

despicable.

You know me if you've listened to this program for very long.

I don't like to use the word treason.

I really don't, because it's the only thing in the Constitution that spells out, you know, the punishment.

And

I don't like calling people traitors, and I and I won't today,

but I will tell you, a case could be made that there are a lot of people that are bordering on the line of treason.

Our country is being dismantled.

Our country is being torn apart.

FEMA has spent, let me see if I can get this exactly right.

I want to get these right.

FEMA has spent $1.4

billion

on immigrants, illegals, okay?

$1.4.2 billion

on rehousing, flying these illegals in without your knowledge.

We paid for all of it.

$174.2 billion.

Okay.

And how much?

Can I ask how much?

It was $750.

And in Hawaii, they got $700.

So $700 in Hawaii, $750.

But don't worry, that's going to be very helpful.

They just lost everything.

It is.

It's embarrassing as a nation.

It is embarrassing.

By the way, the electric vehicle chargers, where they have put two,

that's $7.5 billion.

The high-speed internet, which didn't happen,

we spent $42.45 billion.

The high-speed internet thing didn't happen.

But they, you know, they've got, don't worry.

On a surprisingly quiet hurricane season, they're out of money.

First of all, I'd like to remind the government: no, you're not.

You print money all the time.

This is the one time where you're like, gosh, guys, if we print more money, man, it'll just cause inflation.

It'll be really bad, really, really bad.

And besides, the printing presses are booked for the next month and a half because we're printing so much money for Iran and Ukraine.

Out of money.

Huh.

I, you know, I don't remember voting to bring all these illegals in and house them and feed them and give billions of dollars through most likely many corrupt NGOs that are wasting our money.

I don't remember that.

I don't remember voting, you know what we should do?

We should go into other countries and find some people that want to come here and we'll just pay their way.

We'll find out who they are and then say, Come to America.

Where do you want to go?

You want to go to Kansas City?

They got the Chiefs.

It's great.

You go to New York, you know, some great little restaurants and bistros everywhere.

You're going to love it.

And it's a free ticket.

And then we'll set you up in a really nice hotel or ones that used to be really nice and free food and $2,500

just because you're so oppressed.

So oppressed.

I can't even take how oppressed you are.

So you get $2,500 and you get a free phone and you get a free phone and you get a free phone and $750

for these people who have been paying taxes, hardworking, regular people,

and you can't even fly a helicopter in.

to get people off their roofs.

And you show up a week late.

By the way, I want to thank President Biden for, you know, taking that aerial view in.

You know, he just didn't want to disrupt anything.

And he only stopped our rescue helicopters from rescuing people for four hours.

So, you know, that was great.

Didn't piss the rescuers off at all.

At all.

So, anyway, FEMA is there.

And

I said, so

why are you guys here?

We took a van.

There were 10 of us in this van.

And we were going back to the food distribution point.

And, you know, everybody's looking out the windows and seeing stuff.

And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.

Turn around.

You guys see the FEMA truck?

Everybody.

I didn't see the FEMA truck.

Yeah, it's tucked back in the corner behind this, I don't know,

you know, Michaels that is is closed.

And so we went into the

cops everywhere.

Food is on the other side, like a Lowe's, you know, garden shop.

And all the attention, when you drive in, all the attention is over there because people are going to get food

because they don't have any food.

But behind the Michaels,

that's been closed, and I think next to the Chuck E.

Cheese,

which was so busy.

No, they were closed too,

was under a tree, this FEMA truck.

And I said, so

what are you guys doing here?

Well,

we're getting everybody, you know, to sign up for the aid.

Hmm, okay, all right.

You know, the crowd is down there.

There's only one person at your table.

Yeah, I know, but that's because we haven't really announced where we are yet.

And I'm thinking, that's probably good.

But I said, what do you mean?

And he said, well,

our flyers haven't arrived yet.

So we're waiting for our own flyers that say, you know, FEMA is here.

I'm like, oh, flyers.

We didn't think of that flyer thing.

We just went, you know, to where everybody is.

And then we didn't need flyers, but I didn't say that.

At this point, I was like, don't say anything at all, don't say anything at all.

And

he said, well, we, you know, we just have to be where the people are.

And I said, that's good.

And I'm thinking, that's not here.

You know, when do you move there?

And I said, so

you're doing this with the flyers.

And he said, no, we also,

you know, we're going to tell the media.

And so, you know, radio, television, it'll be everywhere.

And I thought, hmm,

I don't see a lot of people sitting down in their living rooms because their living rooms have washed four blocks down the street with their televisions in it.

You know, maybe they have a little portable television that they just have to plug in.

Oh, no, they don't have any power.

And I said, you know, they're probably not watching TV.

He said, but yeah, but the word will get around.

Okay, all right.

And he said, you know, and there's an app.

This is the greatest app.

This app will do everything.

And all they have to do is just download it on their phone.

And

Corey said, well, they, you know, they don't, they don't really have power to plug their phones in.

He said, yeah, but a lot of people can just go to their cars and plug their cars, you know, plug the phone into the car to charge it.

And

we pointed out to him, You mean the cars like, right, turn around.

See that river?

See all the cars that are in the the creek now that are destroyed you mean they're sitting in those cars because they no longer have cars

that's that's what was happening in my head I just said

and

he he said, but we have to be where the people are.

And I said, well, if the people don't come out, and he said, well, then we go door to door.

And I'm thinking, that's good because they don't have doors.

And I said, when do you do that?

And he said, well, that's above my pay grade.

You know, it's the government.

So, you know, I don't have that information.

Is there anybody here that does have that information?

Yeah, my boss.

Where's your boss sitting at the table?

No, uh-uh.

In the air-conditioned truck right now, she's in the air-conditioned truck.

Oh, good.

Can you maybe go get your boss?

You know, tell her, you know, she'll have to come out here where it's hot, you know, but she can go right back into the air-conditioned truck

where she can get away from all of these people.

And so she comes out.

She was a delightful lady.

And

we said,

he didn't know when you start going door to door.

And she looked at him and she said, we don't go door to door.

You don't go door to door.

No, we're here, you know, where it's all happening.

And

I looked at Corey and Corey looked at me and we're like, it's not happening here.

This isn't where people are.

I mean, if you want to be a little closer to where people are going,

you should go where the food is.

Yeah, well, we were talking about that today.

Oh, okay, good, good, good.

And the truck doesn't really work yet,

but we're still gathering information because, oh, the relief that these people can get.

Oh, it's really, it's just amazing.

I

bet it is.

And then I just started to back away from this,

oh, I don't even know, murder scene.

It was just so ugly.

And I just started backing away.

And Gorey looked at me and just smiled.

And he's like, thank you for your time.

And he said, boy, I've never seen you so quiet.

And I was like,

don't have anything nice to say.

Don't say anything at all.

You don't want to know what I was thinking in my head.

It was so offensive.

But that was the FEMA in action.

All right, you sick twisted freak.

Want more of me and Stu?

Maybe not Stu.

But to hear the rest of the program, check out the full podcast.

We're back with more after this.

Are you living the life you want to live?

Are you doing the things you want to do?

If you're not, is it because of pain?

I know from personal experience, I mean, Stu, did you ever think that I, because I didn't, did you ever think I would be like I am today is this beyond I'm back getting back into shape I'm I feel good I don't feel old anymore I mean

yeah you're doing

I mean people who only listen to the radio don't see you've lost quite a bit of weight yeah I would say and and feeling really good feeling really good yeah I gave up I really did I gave up my first step coming back is getting rid of the pain.

Stop masking your pain.

Start fighting back naturally.

Give Relief Factor a try.

Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95.

That's less than a dollar a day.

Visit relief factor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

That's 800, the number four

relief.

Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

You have Corey on yet?

Okay.

He's probably, I don't know, rescuing somebody.

Corey Mills, who is still in Asheville, we're going to talk to him in just a second.

He's a congressman from Florida.

By the way,

I would,

he's the best

congressman I think I've ever met.

First of all, he is big time Constitution.

He was quoting stuff from the Constitution.

I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know right where that is.

That's a section of Order to B.

And

but he really knows it and is a

wild supporter of it.

And he also has a servant's heart.

He's running a campaign right now.

And, you know,

it's a close election.

And he's like, I can't go to my maker and say, you know, Lord,

I could have helped all those people in the hurricane, but

I had to run a campaign.

So that's the kind of guy he is.

So if you're living in his district in Florida, I can't tell you I've not been, and we've worked with him for a long time, but this is the first time we met.

I've not been this impressed by any politician.

Rarely, rarely.

I can name like

two people, and I'm being generous, two people,

and now three with Corey.

Anyway, Jill Savage from Blaze News Tonight was with me yesterday, and we want to go over a couple of things.

You felt the same thing that I felt.

Absolutely.

The people there in North Carolina were exactly what we needed, right?

We've seen the devastation on the news, but the people are what is going to make the difference and pull them through.

And it was 9-12.

You remember what we were like on 9-12?

Yes.

It was just like that.

Anybody who's wondered, are we going to pull back together if there's a yes?

The answer is yes.

And it felt so good.

It felt so good to feel that.

Can I share one of the stories that one of the cousins or grandkids told us yesterday when we were picking grandma up going there to

the helicopter?

They were telling us, okay, so our neighbors, everybody's in trouble, right?

One of these guys, the roof blew off and somebody had a serious head injury.

This is cool.

So what did we do?

We grabbed a ladder, put the person on the ladder, walked three miles to the firehouse, and then there was some wilderness EMT there and a bunch of good old boys.

And they were like, you know what?

We'll do whatever we can.

Bring them in.

And they were problem solving left and right.

That story was amazing.

This guy had a, he walked out to check the animals

on this farm.

And the roof, I think, from another house blew off and hit him in the head.

And he was laying out, major head injury.

Somebody else saw it happen and he runs out and they carry him three miles in the storm at the height of the storm.

I mean, and everybody seemed to know each other.

It's a weird place.

It is so cool.

Honestly,

when we landed the helicopter, there was this big, beautiful horse that was up in the woods and it was just kind of staring at us on this mountainside.

And

I mean, it...

It should have had one horn in the because it was like, am I seeing a mythical creature here?

This place is so magical uh and we landed and these two old guys come walking up the street and they're like how can we help you you know helicopter just landed in in the back field how can we help you well we're looking for you know 3501 blackrock or whatever uh

i don't know where that is i think it's around the corner who are you trying to help gave him the name

Oh, yeah, I know.

You know, what was the guy who was in the other field?

Well, so then we were walking trying to find where this house was.

And we just walked by this one guy and he's like, y'all need a ride?

His name's Jim.

And we're like, yeah, Jim.

He's like, that's my truck right there.

Get in.

Let's go.

So here we are.

Glenn Beck is sitting on the back of the truck.

And we're just rolling through town trying to find whatever house this is that we can go get the lady to med back her on the helicopter.

We go in, and I mean, everybody was helping each other.

Everybody knew, you know, what was going on and

there's no coordination.

They don't even, I mean, the cell service there, not good.

Not good.

And then word gets out that Glenn Beck has landed in a field in a helicopter.

And Stu, you can only imagine that the people are like, I'm sorry, what?

Who's who's in my field right now?

And we were about to take off.

And there was this one woman who is just, she's like, this is my one chance.

I am going.

And she just bolts out there and runs and gets a picture with you.

And

it was such a great day.

It was really great.

We have Corey Mills, Congressman Corey Mills, vote Corey Mills.

Hello, Congressman.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

Good, good.

Listen,

we

had to go rescue some people so we didn't get a chance to see everything we wanted to see.

But I want to put life in front of.

our needs.

That's fine.

But we didn't get to Chimney Rock.

And are you going to be able to make it up there today to find out some things for us?

I will.

I'm going to be heading to Chimney Rock.

And also, the questions that I want to ask with regards to

kind of the comments that's been made that the federal government's looking to essentially just bulldoze that entire area.

But I haven't heard anything on whether or not they plan to rebuild that area.

That starts to tie into things that we've heard in the past about lithium resource capabilities and also different assets in the region.

But I will say that it's a bit bizarre.

You know, this being the fifth day for me in Western North Carolina, and thanks to Mercury One, and I'll tell you the amazing veteran-led charity

operations, it is incredible that we're now going to be dropping over 10 tons in the last five days as of today.

So we will have over 20,000 pounds of supplies that we've moved in the last five days before FEMA and their single communication truck, where they're claiming that you can just go watch on the media to find their location.

I guess forgot the houses and TV are out.

Oh, my God.

Have they even lifted a finger?

The blood was shooting out of my eyes.

I saw your face that, Glenn, the minute she said they watch it on the media, I look at your face and I was like, if I wasn't here right now.

Oh, my gosh.

I would have, I mean, blood was shooting out of my eyes.

And all I could think of is my mom.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

And I just, I mean, I think you saw me back up a little bit because I was like,

I actually did.

I can't take it.

I can't take it.

So, anyway.

And at first, when you backed up, I just kind of like, I stood there for a minute and I started to slowly back up as well because I was like, all right, maybe he's wanting to leave.

Maybe I'm, I don't know.

And then I realized that, no, you're just creating distance so that you didn't lose it.

So, you know, what was so frustrating is when we got to the FEMA truck, which was pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

And they came in like conquering heroes.

You know, we're here now.

You know, it's like, it's like New Yorkers going to any small town in America.

All right, you're saved.

I'm ready to be your mayor.

I'm from New York.

It was like that.

Glenn, you found this truck like a Where's Waldo puzzle.

I mean, it was in the middle of nowhere away from the actual, and I'm going to use their term, the masses.

Like, it just was comical to me that we talked to the first guy and he's like, yeah, we're going to get ready to go for day-to-day door-to-door operations.

When, oh, that's above my pay grade.

Oh, well, let me get you your supervisor.

And then you talk to the supervisor, Glenn, and she says, Well, we have no plan to actually do door-to-door.

That's not our job in our department.

Crazy.

It's just, it was, it was so frustrating.

And the thing I noticed, and this is why I feel like this was 9-12.

Do you know what that day felt like, Corey?

You remember 9-12, 2001?

Yeah, it felt like that.

And it gave me so much hope because this is just the beginning of, these are the birth pangs of things to come.

And all of America is going to need,

to need help, and it's not going to come.

And

I'll tell you, I just felt so hopeful, so incredibly hopeful being there.

But the one thing I did,

I heard a lot of, and I don't know if you can tell the story of,

I think it was FEMA that came into where we've set up a clinic, one of the...

you know, veteran-led, they set up a clinic.

Can you tell that story?

Yeah, so we've set up multiple distribution center areas, especially around Asheville.

And Adam Smith, who's a former Special Forces guy,

whose ex-wife and child actually lives in and around the Asheville area.

You know, when we first started this day one,

it was literally a small overhang of supplies.

And if you go there now, it's the largest distribution area in the entire western North Carolina area.

And we had set up clinics as well.

And there's kind of this Med Bay clinic.

And to your point about the conquering Romans that are walking in, they were like, okay, we're here now.

We're going to take your supplies.

And you actually don't have the ability to operate here because you're not operating under a certified medical license of North Carolina.

Now,

take a moment to think about that.

They haven't been there for a week.

We've been treating people, getting medivax into Johnson City, like the gentleman who was having cardiac arrest, the woman who was showing signs of bone disease and hypertension or the person that you you grappled down like some i don't know captain america and went and rescued off the top of a mountain yeah anyway go ahead doing some good hoistoffs yeah but we've been dropping i mean even up in areas like pensacle in north carolina which is one of the most isolated areas up in the mountains at like a 5 000 plus foot level which i know you referred to it as the you know smoky hills they're now the smoky mountains we've now seen that no i said yesterday i can't make fun of them anymore.

I can't.

I've actually seen them.

I could live here.

Yeah, I could in a heartbeat.

Anyway, think about this, though.

So we're treating people.

We're getting the key medications that they need for type one, you know, diabetics.

We're getting oxygen for people who don't have the ability to resupply because there is no resupply.

We had more oxygen in our aid area than Mission Hospital had said that they actually had.

And so we're operating, helping save lives.

And here comes FEMA.

Oh, you can't do that.

You can't can't remain on this location to treat people because you don't have a North Carolina medical license.

Unbelievable.

And

what was said to them?

Basically, to piss off.

I mean, this is a team who's literally, these are their family members.

These are people who are proper veterans.

And they basically said, oh, you don't like it?

Well, you can leave or we can just relocate our clinic.

Right.

I mean, you know,

it's life limer eyesight.

Yeah, these, these guys are,

I mean, this town and the veterans, I have to tell you,

good comes out of everything.

God uses everything, even the worst, to do good and to do his will.

You know, if you served in Afghanistan and you saw how that ended, that may, all of that may have been to prepare you for the times that are coming so you can help your fellow man in your own country.

These veterans have come out, and I got to tell you, they just took charge, and they knew exactly what they were doing.

I mean, they're running an airport, you know, and the FAA is like, oh, Pete Buddha judge said, you got to shut this down.

Yeah,

we're not going to.

It's fantastic.

Just fantastic.

I would love to see Mayor Pete come out and tell Adam Smith, who looks like he's a professional wrestler or, you know, defensive back at about 340 pounds and 6'4.

I'd like for him to come out and tell him that he can't continue to save lives.

Yeah, he looks more like Stretch Armstrong.

I don't think you'll have time to come out there, Glenn, because he's still nursing.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts.

All right, let me start with

the name of the person that is responsible for breaking the back of the strike.

Now, I'm glad they moved it down.

You know, they just held off.

All right, we're going to hold off till after the election and just about five days before the swearing in of the, oh, it's going to work out well.

So, but we don't have that on the plate to add to the stress of America, at least right now.

And that is because of one man and one man only,

Ron DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis came out yesterday and said, yeah, I'm going to call out the National Guard

because we're not going to be held hostage.

So National Guard's going to go in and they'll open the ports.

We'll open the ports for Florida so we can get things and supplies in here.

National Guard will load it.

Oh my gosh, I love you.

I mean, if it wasn't for the icky sex, Ron, I mean, I would be gay in a heartbeat.

Seriously, I just love you.

Look how accepting you are.

We want to talk about diversity on this show.

I don't know.

A gay Radio Hall of Fame member right there.

I got it.

If it wasn't for the icky sex, yes.

Yes.

So anyway,

I'm sorry.

I've got an appointment later on this afternoon to burn some books in a hood.

But

this guy is amazing.

I think Donald Trump should announce a few members of a cabinet, and he should do it right now.

He should announce that Elon Musk has agreed to be, you know, the cost-cutting czar.

It seems like they've floated that one, and it's been discussed.

It's not official, though.

He needs to announce that

RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and I've extended the invitation

to run FEMA and close FEMA down

and give the state the ability, the state's ability to actually keep that money themselves and prepare for disaster, I'd like Ron DeSantis to run FEMA.

I think he would be unbelievable.

His term is up in 26.

I mean, I'd wait for that.

Would you wait for that?

I'd wait.

Some of those ideas are great that you just mentioned.

So, yeah, I agree.

You just can't get past your hatred for RFK, can you?

You just hate him so much.

Because he jilted you, he said, I'm not interested in that gay sex with Stu.

Okay, please stop talking.

Not even about just this topic, all topics.

If we're going to put a lifelong Democrat into the administration in some way, I would far prefer Tulsi Gabbard.

That would be my stance on that particular issue.

Just, God forbid, just for the wives of the other people in the cabinet.

I mean, God, please.

We all know he's a Kennedy.

So we all know.

But what I will say is, I mean, I don't know, honestly, to be honest about it.

Really, really love Ron DeSantis.

Really think I would like him to do something more important than

that's fine.

Whatever.

I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.

I think his job right now is great.

And I could see him with higher office, certainly down the road.

Right.

And I'd give him any job.

I wouldn't want to pull him out of Florida to run.

No, no, no.

I said his term is up in 26.

I would give that man any job that he wanted.

What do you want to run?

Yeah.

When you're done with governor, what do you want to run?

And involve him.

But he is, when it comes to disasters, that guy, excuse the expression, is an ass kicker.

Yeah.

I mean, he's amazing.

And like, that's what I feel like used to be a really, something we really prized that cross-partisan lines.

Like the, just the general competence in times of stress used to be the thing that, I mean, I think that was one of the things that happened with Bush, where like he was seen, I think largely unfairly, for botching the Katrina stuff.

And it was more damaging to him, not because liberals turned against him.

They are all calling him a terrorist the whole time.

And that he was like, he said he was responsible for 9-11.

Yeah, right.

And he hated black people.

He was letting them die.

That's right.

I mean, if you want to make that case, we can make that case about white people, but I'm not going to.

George Bush doesn't care about black people, if you remember that, from Kanye West, who has had quite a journey since that particular statement.

When the media loved him back then, when he was saying those things.

But what happened with Bush with Katrina and a couple of other things in that area of time was that it felt like he was incompetent.

And his own supporters and moderates, kind of independent voters, started to bail on him.

Yeah.

Right.

And then, of course, the war going poorly sort of added on to that.

But like, that was

a really central thing of what we expected and wanted out of politicians.

Just, you know, like, yeah, you have opinions.

We all know you have opinions.

We might not like your policies.

But in those moments, are you going to be the person who steps up and gets the job done?

DeSantis has done that every single time.

Every time.

Every time.

I wish I would have snapped a picture of him.

You know, he was holding a press conference and behind him were what appeared to be miles of utility trucks.

And he's like, we're ready.

I was just like, yeah, you are.

You are.

You know, and he believes in the 10th Amendment.

Oh.

Oh, so the unions are going to shut down our ports.

Well, no, I'm the governor of Florida.

And if the federal government won't do anything, I'm calling out our National Guard and we'll keep those ports open.

That's the reason they they folded.

They lost all of their power in negotiation.

They lost all of it.

So it was, thank you, Ron DeSantis, for saving the country on that one.

Can I ask you, Glenn, about, and this is lower priority than the stuff you've been talking about when it comes to your trip to North Carolina yesterday and this whole region.

But there is a political concern here, right?

We've got an election that's a month away.

I have to tell you, may I tell you a quick story on this?

Yeah, sure.

A couple of days ago, we rescued a woman who was

up, two women that were up on a mountain, and they were flagging the helicopter, and we were taking somebody else to the hospital, I think.

And so the other helicopter was called, and they came, and they picked him up.

They brought him down from the mountain.

They were out of food and everything.

And one of the first things they said was,

before we go back up,

we need to vote.

Can you take us?

I mean,

these people are pissed.

They are pissed.

If North Carolina does not

go hard for Trump, I'd be shocked.

Really?

Yeah.

They're pissed.

I mean, they are pissed.

That's a big part of the reason I'm asking.

Yeah.

Because, you know, this is a key swing state.

I

think

Donald Trump, if he doesn't win North Carolina, I don't think he could win.

Yeah, I don't, I mean, there's a path.

It's possible, but I think it's super unlikely if he doesn't win North Carolina.

I mean, the very, very cynical part of me, which is almost all of me at this point,

says, you know, there's one of the reasons why they're not helping there is you've just taken out a swath of Trump supporters.

Okay, this is this is this is some have died, but also some have

totally you can't get to poll.

These people, they don't have cars.

Their bridges are washed out.

I mean, it's going to be tough.

But I'll tell you,

I met several people.

The old lady who we rescued, she's like 80 years old.

She's fantastic.

And she didn't know who I was or who Corey Mills was.

We were just helping her get into the, and as she's being put into the life flight,

she's just this damn Biden.

He doesn't give a flying crap.

And she was colorful.

And I thought, I think I know who she's voting for.

And this used to be Democratic country.

Oh, really?

Because I think of that part of the state as more red.

You do now.

These were tobacco farmers.

And, you know, they don't have health care.

They don't, these are poor, poor people.

And so, you know, they've been for government assistance because they've needed government assistance.

But now they see what this government assistance really means.

No, they're not interested.

This has turned people, at least in that area, I think this has made them generational Republicans.

Just because of how bad this responsibility is.

Everybody I talked to was pissed at the federal government.

They were pissed.

I heard, I can't tell you how many times I heard yesterday, really?

How much money are they giving to these illegal immigrants?

And we've got nothing.

No one's on the ground.

I'm telling you, I didn't see National Guard.

I know the National Guard is there.

They've been there for four or five days, I think.

But I didn't see any of them.

And I was in really some of the hardest hit areas.

I didn't, there was no federal anything except the

satellite truck for FEMA, which wasn't working at the time.

But they're going to, oh, they're where the people are.

No, they weren't.

They were out in the middle of nowhere uh signing people up so they could get their paperwork in and start the system to help chug along uh

and uh and there was they were they were helping one person it was it was despicable uh then um there was another place where fema was at another center where they were they put up showers so people could take showers which i thought was really nice until they said that you know no no not for the people but for the volunteers so the volunteers could take showers

people

anybody could go into a shower it was it's obscene it's obscene when

when mercury one

is the one that is providing all of the o2 for all of the ambulances and one of the hospitals because they can't get it

When that's happening,

excuse me, federal government, when there are people literally, we're saving their lives because we're providing insulin and life-saving drugs that they can't, that nobody else has.

Government's not there handing out these drugs.

I mean, you can go into the cities, you go into homeless areas, and, you know, they'll hand you drugs there.

You know, lots of drugs.

You need heroin, they'll help you out on this.

But insulin, they're not there.

It is, it's shameful.

I have, I started telling you earlier today off the air, I asked you, do you remember the day I came in when we were air vacing people out of Afghanistan?

I should say, trying to.

We had an air force there of

737s and 747s on the ground in Iraq.

Sorry, Afghanistan.

And the State Department was blocking us.

And then something happened that day where they mocked us.

They mocked us.

The State Department, we said, okay, it's been three days.

We got all the paperwork that you told us we had to have.

Everybody is on paperwork.

Oh, no, you need form 117B.

What is that form?

It's a new form.

Okay, where do we get that form?

Well, you can only get it at the embassy in Afghanistan, in Kabul.

You closed the embassy three days ago.

Yeah.

Well, how do we get that?

Well, it's just something you're going to have to figure out.

Click.

I walked right onto your stage because I was supposed and I was so mad, I said, I will renounce my citizenship if this is who we are.

This is evil.

I was that close yesterday.

This country is so good,

so good.

The people are so good.

And it's the government that has gone very dark.

They don't care.

I know we have the most compassionate, politically correct people who just want the whole rainbow to come together.

They despise, they despise great swaths of people.

San Francisco goes down and they need help.

You damn right Mercury One will be down on the ground and we won't be saying, who did you vote for?

We will help them.

Appalachia goes down?

We're all out of money.

Oh my gosh.

You print money!

You print money!

Can't take it.
