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

Speaker 1 Trip Planner by Expedia. You were made to outdo your holiday,

Speaker 1 your hammocking,

Speaker 1 and your pooling.

Speaker 1 We were made to help organize the competition. Expedia made to travel.

Speaker 4 Well, today is a podcast you're just not going to get anywhere else.

Speaker 7 I was in Asheville, North Carolina, and I witnessed tragedy and hope.

Speaker 9 I mean, the experience that I had is

Speaker 12 was just remarkable.

Speaker 4 Remarkable.

Speaker 13 I was reassured.

Speaker 14 Yeah, that's who Americans are.

Speaker 15 Also, it reconfirmed, yep, that's who our government is.

Speaker 17 I'll tell you the experience, the good, bad, and the ugly on today's podcast from North Carolina, the story of Hurricane Helene.

Speaker 9 Today is the day that you could make an important decision.

Speaker 23 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.

Speaker 9 Choice is really pretty simple.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 14 Patriot Mobile shares your values, won't send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

Speaker 22 You're going to get the same nationwide service, all while supporting a company that loves America, loves God, supports our police.

Speaker 26 Switching is easy right now.

Speaker 13 When you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll get a whole month for free.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 22 It's patriotmobile.com/slash Beck.

Speaker 9 Why haven't you joined yet? 972 Patriot.

Speaker 13 Free month of service.

Speaker 23 If you joined today, patriotmobile.com/slashbeck, slash back 972 Patriot.

Speaker 30 You're listening to

Speaker 30 the best of the Blenbeck program. Congressman Corey Mills, if you don't know who this guy is, and you might not

Speaker 33 because he's he's always just busy doing things.

Speaker 6 I mean, you know, I'll get a call from him and be like,

Speaker 2 yeah,

Speaker 35 I'm in the jungles of Vietnam. We think we know where the POWs are and we're just going to get them out.

Speaker 36 He's just everywhere doing stuff.

Speaker 37 He's like a real-life action hero, but he's also a congressman.

Speaker 40 He's running

Speaker 35 his campaign.

Speaker 7 His campaign people are freaking out.

Speaker 41 They're like, this is a close election, Corey.

Speaker 42 You know, and he's like, the people in my district are okay.

Speaker 7 They weren't hit by the hurricane.

Speaker 37 They're okay.

Speaker 46 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.

Speaker 26 He said, I can't do it.

Speaker 42 And so I told him yesterday, I don't know where I'm going to find time to do this, but I said,

Speaker 7 let me go campaign for you.

Speaker 19 Let me just go do a speech or something for you while you're up here

Speaker 45 because I believe in this guy.

Speaker 47 This guy should shame every member of Congress, should shame every member of Congress.

Speaker 7 The power of what one person can do when coupled with other people is absolutely amazing.

Speaker 53 Don't ever count yourself out as, I can't do it.

Speaker 39 Do you realize that this audience is playing a major role in a major historic disaster?

Speaker 25 You are.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 59 You have no idea.

Speaker 60 You know, all of the oxygen on every

Speaker 38 county ambulance now is provided by this audience.

Speaker 59 They ran, they blew through all of their supply.

Speaker 37 They weren't prepared for this.

Speaker 45 You know, nobody's prepared for something of this scale.

Speaker 62 And they were like, we're out of oxygen.

Speaker 36 We got oxygen.

Speaker 7 We have pallets now of O2 that we flew in.

Speaker 7 We're filling transport planes.

Speaker 64 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.

Speaker 7 It's remarkable. And FEMA

Speaker 20 is

Speaker 56 despicable.

Speaker 45 You know me if you've listened to this program for very long.

Speaker 33 I don't like to use the word treason.

Speaker 51 I really don't, because it's the only thing in the Constitution that spells out, you know, the punishment.

Speaker 61 And

Speaker 58 I don't like calling people traitors, and I and I won't today,

Speaker 15 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.

Speaker 40 Our country is being dismantled.

Speaker 16 Our country is being torn apart.

Speaker 56 FEMA has spent, let me see if I can get this exactly right.

Speaker 60 I want to get these right.

Speaker 68 FEMA has spent $1.4

Speaker 68 billion

Speaker 64 on immigrants, illegals, okay?

Speaker 70 $1.4.2 billion

Speaker 41 on rehousing, flying these illegals in without your knowledge.

Speaker 25 We paid for all of it.

Speaker 70 $174.2 billion.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 64 And how much? Can I ask how much?

Speaker 69 It was $750.

Speaker 6 And in Hawaii, they got $700.

Speaker 18 So $700 in Hawaii, $750.

Speaker 16 But don't worry, that's going to be very helpful.

Speaker 36 They just lost everything.

Speaker 43 It is.

Speaker 8 It's embarrassing as a nation. It is embarrassing.

Speaker 13 By the way, the electric vehicle chargers, where they have put two,

Speaker 29 that's $7.5 billion.

Speaker 40 The high-speed internet, which didn't happen,

Speaker 52 we spent $42.45 billion.

Speaker 40 The high-speed internet thing didn't happen.

Speaker 72 But they, you know, they've got, don't worry.

Speaker 28 On a surprisingly quiet hurricane season, they're out of money.

Speaker 7 First of all, I'd like to remind the government: no, you're not.

Speaker 40 You print money all the time.

Speaker 16 This is the one time where you're like, gosh, guys, if we print more money, man, it'll just cause inflation.

Speaker 75 It'll be really bad, really, really bad.

Speaker 50 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.

Speaker 31 Out of money.

Speaker 2 Huh.

Speaker 46 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.

Speaker 68 I don't remember that. I don't remember voting, you know what we should do?

Speaker 16 We should go into other countries and find some people that want to come here and we'll just pay their way.

Speaker 40 We'll find out who they are and then say, Come to America.

Speaker 77 Where do you want to go?

Speaker 52 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.

Speaker 77 You're going to love it.

Speaker 63 And it's a free ticket.

Speaker 52 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

Speaker 52 just because you're so oppressed.

Speaker 78 So oppressed.

Speaker 2 I can't even take how oppressed you are.

Speaker 77 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

Speaker 70 for these people who have been paying taxes, hardworking, regular people,

Speaker 48 and you can't even fly a helicopter in.

Speaker 2 to get people off their roofs.

Speaker 11 And you show up a week late.

Speaker 8 By the way, I want to thank President Biden for, you know, taking that aerial view in.

Speaker 58 You know, he just didn't want to disrupt anything.

Speaker 23 And he only stopped our rescue helicopters from rescuing people for four hours.

Speaker 71 So, you know, that was great.

Speaker 55 Didn't piss the rescuers off at all.

Speaker 2 At all.

Speaker 66 So, anyway, FEMA is there.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 71 I said, so

Speaker 66 why are you guys here?

Speaker 45 We took a van.

Speaker 51 There were 10 of us in this van.

Speaker 19 And we were going back to the food distribution point.

Speaker 10 And, you know, everybody's looking out the windows and seeing stuff.

Speaker 43 And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.

Speaker 22 Turn around.

Speaker 13 You guys see the FEMA truck?

Speaker 24 Everybody.

Speaker 81 I didn't see the FEMA truck.

Speaker 18 Yeah, it's tucked back in the corner behind this, I don't know,

Speaker 33 you know, Michaels that is is closed.

Speaker 45 And so we went into the

Speaker 36 cops everywhere.

Speaker 45 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

Speaker 46 because they don't have any food.

Speaker 39 But behind the Michaels,

Speaker 7 that's been closed, and I think next to the Chuck E.

Speaker 36 Cheese,

Speaker 4 which was so busy.

Speaker 52 No, they were closed too,

Speaker 23 was under a tree, this FEMA truck.

Speaker 45 And I said, so

Speaker 55 what are you guys doing here?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 7 we're getting everybody, you know, to sign up for the aid.

Speaker 71 Hmm, okay, all right.

Speaker 45 You know, the crowd is down there.

Speaker 49 There's only one person at your table.

Speaker 46 Yeah, I know, but that's because we haven't really announced where we are yet.

Speaker 49 And I'm thinking, that's probably good.

Speaker 8 But I said, what do you mean?

Speaker 34 And he said, well,

Speaker 80 our flyers haven't arrived yet.

Speaker 8 So we're waiting for our own flyers that say, you know, FEMA is here. I'm like, oh, flyers.

Speaker 60 We didn't think of that flyer thing.

Speaker 80 We just went, you know, to where everybody is.

Speaker 6 And then we didn't need flyers, but I didn't say that.

Speaker 38 At this point, I was like, don't say anything at all, don't say anything at all.

Speaker 61 And

Speaker 66 he said, well, we, you know, we just have to be where the people are.

Speaker 33 And I said, that's good.

Speaker 81 And I'm thinking, that's not here.

Speaker 58 You know, when do you move there?

Speaker 76 And I said, so

Speaker 45 you're doing this with the flyers.

Speaker 51 And he said, no, we also,

Speaker 45 you know, we're going to tell the media.

Speaker 7 And so, you know, radio, television, it'll be everywhere.

Speaker 76 And I thought, hmm,

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 78 You know, maybe they have a little portable television that they just have to plug in.

Speaker 36 Oh, no, they don't have any power.

Speaker 40 And I said, you know, they're probably not watching TV.

Speaker 63 He said, but yeah, but the word will get around.

Speaker 2 Okay, all right.

Speaker 26 And he said, you know, and there's an app.

Speaker 33 This is the greatest app.

Speaker 62 This app will do everything.

Speaker 73 And all they have to do is just download it on their phone.

Speaker 32 And

Speaker 7 Corey said, well, they, you know, they don't, they don't really have power to plug their phones in.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 28 we pointed out to him, You mean the cars like, right, turn around.

Speaker 66 See that river?

Speaker 52 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

Speaker 38 that's that's what was happening in my head I just said

Speaker 10 and

Speaker 26 he he said, but we have to be where the people are.

Speaker 56 And I said, well, if the people don't come out, and he said, well, then we go door to door.

Speaker 40 And I'm thinking, that's good because they don't have doors.

Speaker 8 And I said, when do you do that?

Speaker 45 And he said, well, that's above my pay grade.

Speaker 42 You know, it's the government.

Speaker 5 So, you know, I don't have that information.

Speaker 13 Is there anybody here that does have that information?

Speaker 78 Yeah, my boss.

Speaker 8 Where's your boss sitting at the table?

Speaker 47 No, uh-uh.

Speaker 83 In the air-conditioned truck right now, she's in the air-conditioned truck.

Speaker 25 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

Speaker 7 where she can get away from all of these people.

Speaker 26 And so she comes out.

Speaker 84 She was a delightful lady.

Speaker 61 And

Speaker 8 we said,

Speaker 51 he didn't know when you start going door to door.

Speaker 17 And she looked at him and she said, we don't go door to door.

Speaker 7 You don't go door to door.

Speaker 19 No, we're here, you know, where it's all happening.

Speaker 64 And

Speaker 28 I looked at Corey and Corey looked at me and we're like, it's not happening here.

Speaker 21 This isn't where people are.

Speaker 71 I mean, if you want to be a little closer to where people are going,

Speaker 52 you should go where the food is.

Speaker 57 Yeah, well, we were talking about that today.

Speaker 8 Oh, okay, good, good, good.

Speaker 19 And the truck doesn't really work yet,

Speaker 84 but we're still gathering information because, oh, the relief that these people can get.

Speaker 33 Oh, it's really, it's just amazing.

Speaker 82 I

Speaker 54 bet it is.

Speaker 58 And then I just started to back away from this,

Speaker 31 oh, I don't even know, murder scene.

Speaker 53 It was just so ugly.

Speaker 7 And I just started backing away.

Speaker 81 And Gorey looked at me and just smiled.

Speaker 33 And he's like, thank you for your time.

Speaker 55 And he said, boy, I've never seen you so quiet. And I was like,

Speaker 8 don't have anything nice to say.

Speaker 40 Don't say anything at all.

Speaker 45 You don't want to know what I was thinking in my head.

Speaker 16 It was so offensive.

Speaker 53 But that was the FEMA in action.

Speaker 66 All right, you sick twisted freak.

Speaker 27 Want more of me and Stu?

Speaker 46 Maybe not Stu.

Speaker 59 But to hear the rest of the program, check out the full podcast.

Speaker 67 We're back with more after this.

Speaker 73 Are you living the life you want to live?

Speaker 9 Are you doing the things you want to do?

Speaker 40 If you're not, is it because of pain?

Speaker 7 That's 800, the number four

Speaker 39 relief.

Speaker 22 Now back to the podcast.

Speaker 4 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 You have Corey on yet? Okay.

Speaker 87 He's probably, I don't know, rescuing somebody.

Speaker 2 Corey Mills, who is still in Asheville, we're going to talk to him in just a second.

Speaker 87 He's a congressman from Florida. By the way,

Speaker 65 I would,

Speaker 66 he's the best

Speaker 8 congressman I think I've ever met.

Speaker 36 First of all, he is big time Constitution.

Speaker 16 He was quoting stuff from the Constitution.

Speaker 6 I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know right where that is.

Speaker 49 That's a section of Order to B. And

Speaker 42 but he really knows it and is a

Speaker 50 wild supporter of it.

Speaker 36 And he also has a servant's heart. He's running a campaign right now.

Speaker 10 And, you know,

Speaker 83 it's a close election.

Speaker 8 And he's like, I can't go to my maker and say, you know, Lord,

Speaker 49 I could have helped all those people in the hurricane, but

Speaker 78 I had to run a campaign.

Speaker 42 So that's the kind of guy he is.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 42 I've not been this impressed by any politician.

Speaker 62 Rarely, rarely.

Speaker 7 I can name like

Speaker 2 two people, and I'm being generous, two people,

Speaker 25 and now three with Corey.

Speaker 42 Anyway, Jill Savage from Blaze News Tonight was with me yesterday, and we want to go over a couple of things.

Speaker 42 You felt the same thing that I felt.

Speaker 30 Absolutely. The people there in North Carolina were exactly what we needed, right?

Speaker 30 We've seen the devastation on the news, but the people are what is going to make the difference and pull them through.

Speaker 29 And it was 9-12.

Speaker 81 You remember what we were like on 9-12?

Speaker 66 Yes.

Speaker 54 It was just like that.

Speaker 46 Anybody who's wondered, are we going to pull back together if there's a yes?

Speaker 26 The answer is yes.

Speaker 53 And it felt so good.

Speaker 63 It felt so good to feel that.

Speaker 30 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

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 30 And they were like, you know what? We'll do whatever we can. Bring them in.
And they were problem solving left and right.

Speaker 16 That story was amazing.

Speaker 53 This guy had a, he walked out to check the animals

Speaker 6 on this farm.

Speaker 85 And the roof, I think, from another house blew off and hit him in the head.

Speaker 7 And he was laying out, major head injury.

Speaker 52 Somebody else saw it happen and he runs out and they carry him three miles in the storm at the height of the storm.

Speaker 26 I mean, and everybody seemed to know each other.

Speaker 66 It's a weird place.

Speaker 85 It is so cool.

Speaker 78 Honestly,

Speaker 16 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.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 47 I mean, it...

Speaker 23 It should have had one horn in the because it was like, am I seeing a mythical creature here?

Speaker 81 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

Speaker 29 i don't know where that is i think it's around the corner who are you trying to help gave him the name

Speaker 68 Oh, yeah, I know.

Speaker 59 You know, what was the guy who was in the other field?

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 79 We go in, and I mean, everybody was helping each other. Everybody knew, you know, what was going on and

Speaker 16 there's no coordination.

Speaker 56 They don't even, I mean, the cell service there, not good.

Speaker 6 Not good.

Speaker 30 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?

Speaker 30 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

Speaker 30 it was such a great day.

Speaker 80 It was really great.

Speaker 49 We have Corey Mills, Congressman Corey Mills, vote Corey Mills.

Speaker 78 Hello, Congressman. How are you?

Speaker 62 I'm good. How are you? Good, good.

Speaker 26 Listen,

Speaker 63 we

Speaker 26 had to go rescue some people so we didn't get a chance to see everything we wanted to see.

Speaker 7 But I want to put life in front of.

Speaker 74 our needs. That's fine.

Speaker 7 But we didn't get to Chimney Rock.

Speaker 5 And are you going to be able to make it up there today to find out some things for us?

Speaker 3 I will. I'm going to be heading to Chimney Rock.
And also, the questions that I want to ask with regards to

Speaker 3 kind of the comments that's been made that the federal government's looking to essentially just bulldoze that entire area.

Speaker 3 But I haven't heard anything on whether or not they plan to rebuild that area.

Speaker 3 That starts to tie into things that we've heard in the past about lithium resource capabilities and also different assets in the region.

Speaker 3 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

Speaker 3 operations, it is incredible that we're now going to be dropping over 10 tons in the last five days as of today.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I guess forgot the houses and TV are out. Oh, my God.
Have they even lifted a finger?

Speaker 45 The blood was shooting out of my eyes.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 73 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 45 I would have, I mean, blood was shooting out of my eyes. And all I could think of is my mom.

Speaker 38 If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Speaker 40 And I just, I mean, I think you saw me back up a little bit because I was like,

Speaker 2 I actually did.

Speaker 25 I can't take it. I can't take it.

Speaker 60 So, anyway.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 45 So, you know, what was so frustrating is when we got to the FEMA truck, which was pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Speaker 59 And they came in like conquering heroes.

Speaker 6 You know, we're here now.

Speaker 28 You know, it's like, it's like New Yorkers going to any small town in America.

Speaker 52 All right, you're saved.

Speaker 59 I'm ready to be your mayor.

Speaker 58 I'm from New York.

Speaker 52 It was like that.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 43 Crazy.

Speaker 71 It's just, it was, it was so frustrating.

Speaker 46 And the thing I noticed, and this is why I feel like this was 9-12.

Speaker 7 Do you know what that day felt like, Corey? You remember 9-12, 2001?

Speaker 65 Yeah, it felt like that.

Speaker 16 And it gave me so much hope because this is just the beginning of, these are the birth pangs of things to come.

Speaker 80 And all of America is going to need,

Speaker 10 to need help, and it's not going to come.

Speaker 61 And

Speaker 50 I'll tell you, I just felt so hopeful, so incredibly hopeful being there.

Speaker 44 But the one thing I did,

Speaker 7 I heard a lot of, and I don't know if you can tell the story of,

Speaker 42 I think it was FEMA that came into where we've set up a clinic, one of the...

Speaker 5 you know, veteran-led, they set up a clinic.

Speaker 55 Can you tell that story?

Speaker 3 Yeah, so we've set up multiple distribution center areas, especially around Asheville. And Adam Smith, who's a former Special Forces guy,

Speaker 3 whose ex-wife and child actually lives in and around the Asheville area.

Speaker 3 You know, when we first started this day one,

Speaker 3 it was literally a small overhang of supplies.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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,

Speaker 3 take a moment to think about that.

Speaker 3 They haven't been there for a week.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 7 I can't.

Speaker 2 I've actually seen them.

Speaker 2 I could live here.

Speaker 65 Yeah, I could in a heartbeat.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 2 Unbelievable.

Speaker 64 And

Speaker 8 what was said to them?

Speaker 3 Basically, to piss off.

Speaker 3 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?

Speaker 3 Well, you can leave or we can just relocate our clinic.

Speaker 65 Right.

Speaker 2 I mean, you know,

Speaker 3 it's life limer eyesight.

Speaker 26 Yeah, these, these guys are,

Speaker 60 I mean, this town and the veterans, I have to tell you,

Speaker 4 good comes out of everything.

Speaker 45 God uses everything, even the worst, to do good and to do his will.

Speaker 40 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.

Speaker 8 These veterans have come out, and I got to tell you, they just took charge, and they knew exactly what they were doing.

Speaker 52 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,

Speaker 2 we're not going to.

Speaker 74 It's fantastic.

Speaker 18 Just fantastic.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I'd like for him to come out and tell him that he can't continue to save lives.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he looks more like Stretch Armstrong.

Speaker 3 I don't think you'll have time to come out there, Glenn, because he's still nursing.

Speaker 86 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

Speaker 69 Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 46 All right, let me start with

Speaker 4 the name of the person that is responsible for breaking the back of the strike.

Speaker 44 Now, I'm glad they moved it down.

Speaker 43 You know, they just held off.

Speaker 52 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.

Speaker 46 So, but we don't have that on the plate to add to the stress of America, at least right now.

Speaker 7 And that is because of one man and one man only,

Speaker 64 Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 4 Ron DeSantis came out yesterday and said, yeah, I'm going to call out the National Guard

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 71 National Guard will load it. Oh my gosh, I love you.

Speaker 7 I mean, if it wasn't for the icky sex, Ron, I mean, I would be gay in a heartbeat.

Speaker 33 Seriously, I just love you.

Speaker 86 Look how accepting you are.

Speaker 86 We want to talk about diversity on this show.

Speaker 63 I don't know.

Speaker 86 A gay Radio Hall of Fame member right there.

Speaker 2 I got it.

Speaker 69 If it wasn't for the icky sex, yes.

Speaker 66 Yes.

Speaker 10 So anyway,

Speaker 17 I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 I've got an appointment later on this afternoon to burn some books in a hood.

Speaker 72 But

Speaker 26 this guy is amazing.

Speaker 45 I think Donald Trump should announce a few members of a cabinet, and he should do it right now.

Speaker 66 He should announce that Elon Musk has agreed to be, you know, the cost-cutting czar.

Speaker 86 It seems like they've floated that one, and it's been discussed. It's not official, though.

Speaker 76 He needs to announce that

Speaker 10 RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and I've extended the invitation

Speaker 40 to run FEMA and close FEMA down

Speaker 16 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.

Speaker 28 I think he would be unbelievable.

Speaker 16 His term is up in 26.

Speaker 63 I mean, I'd wait for that. Would you wait for that?

Speaker 71 I'd wait.

Speaker 86 Some of those ideas are great that you just mentioned.

Speaker 86 So, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 8 You just can't get past your hatred for RFK, can you?

Speaker 35 You just hate him so much.

Speaker 33 Because he jilted you, he said, I'm not interested in that gay sex with Stu.

Speaker 86 Okay, please stop talking.

Speaker 86 Not even about just this topic, all topics.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 86 Just, God forbid, just for the wives of the other people in the cabinet.

Speaker 52 I mean, God, please.

Speaker 9 We all know he's a Kennedy.

Speaker 74 So we all know.

Speaker 86 But what I will say is, I mean, I don't know, honestly, to be honest about it.

Speaker 86 Really, really love Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 86 Really think I would like him to do something more important than

Speaker 67 that's fine. Whatever.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 59 And I'd give him any job.

Speaker 86 I wouldn't want to pull him out of Florida to run.

Speaker 31 No, no, no.

Speaker 12 I said his term is up in 26.

Speaker 16 I would give that man any job that he wanted.

Speaker 59 What do you want to run?

Speaker 5 Yeah. When you're done with governor, what do you want to run?

Speaker 7 And involve him.

Speaker 56 But he is, when it comes to disasters, that guy, excuse the expression, is an ass kicker. Yeah.

Speaker 40 I mean, he's amazing.

Speaker 86 And like, that's what I feel like used to be a really, something we really prized that cross-partisan lines.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 20 And he hated black people.

Speaker 7 He was letting them die. That's right.

Speaker 65 I mean, if you want to make that case, we can make that case about white people, but I'm not going to.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 86 When the media loved him back then, when he was saying those things.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 86 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

Speaker 86 a really central thing of what we expected and wanted out of politicians.

Speaker 86 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?

Speaker 86 DeSantis has done that every single time. Every time.

Speaker 13 Every time.

Speaker 76 I wish I would have snapped a picture of him.

Speaker 45 You know, he was holding a press conference and behind him were what appeared to be miles of utility trucks.

Speaker 37 And he's like, we're ready.

Speaker 25 I was just like, yeah, you are.

Speaker 85 You are.

Speaker 40 You know, and he believes in the 10th Amendment.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 4 Oh, so the unions are going to shut down our ports.

Speaker 78 Well, no, I'm the governor of Florida.

Speaker 7 And if the federal government won't do anything, I'm calling out our National Guard and we'll keep those ports open.

Speaker 53 That's the reason they they folded.

Speaker 2 They lost all of their power in negotiation.

Speaker 65 They lost all of it.

Speaker 4 So it was, thank you, Ron DeSantis, for saving the country on that one.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 86 But there is a political concern here, right? We've got an election that's a month away.

Speaker 81 I have to tell you, may I tell you a quick story on this?

Speaker 2 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 36 A couple of days ago, we rescued a woman who was

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 17 And so the other helicopter was called, and they came, and they picked him up.

Speaker 6 They brought him down from the mountain.

Speaker 63 They were out of food and everything.

Speaker 33 And one of the first things they said was,

Speaker 63 before we go back up,

Speaker 63 we need to vote.

Speaker 40 Can you take us?

Speaker 11 I mean,

Speaker 85 these people are pissed.

Speaker 35 They are pissed.

Speaker 8 If North Carolina does not

Speaker 75 go hard for Trump, I'd be shocked.

Speaker 65 Really?

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 2 They're pissed. I mean, they are pissed.

Speaker 86 That's a big part of the reason I'm asking. Yeah.

Speaker 86 Because, you know, this is a key swing state. I

Speaker 86 think

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 38 I mean, the very, very cynical part of me, which is almost all of me at this point,

Speaker 38 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.

Speaker 86 Okay, this is this is this is some have died, but also some have

Speaker 63 totally you can't get to poll.

Speaker 37 These people, they don't have cars.

Speaker 55 Their bridges are washed out.

Speaker 40 I mean, it's going to be tough.

Speaker 17 But I'll tell you,

Speaker 16 I met several people.

Speaker 53 The old lady who we rescued, she's like 80 years old.

Speaker 56 She's fantastic.

Speaker 75 And she didn't know who I was or who Corey Mills was.

Speaker 47 We were just helping her get into the, and as she's being put into the life flight,

Speaker 52 she's just this damn Biden. He doesn't give a flying crap.

Speaker 28 And she was colorful.

Speaker 40 And I thought, I think I know who she's voting for.

Speaker 7 And this used to be Democratic country. Oh, really?

Speaker 86 Because I think of that part of the state as more red.

Speaker 40 You do now.

Speaker 84 These were tobacco farmers.

Speaker 45 And, you know, they don't have health care.

Speaker 70 They don't, these are poor, poor people.

Speaker 7 And so, you know, they've been for government assistance because they've needed government assistance.

Speaker 40 But now they see what this government assistance really means.

Speaker 33 No, they're not interested.

Speaker 56 This has turned people, at least in that area, I think this has made them generational Republicans.

Speaker 86 Just because of how bad this responsibility is.

Speaker 69 Everybody I talked to was pissed at the federal government.

Speaker 78 They were pissed.

Speaker 8 I heard, I can't tell you how many times I heard yesterday, really?

Speaker 9 How much money are they giving to these illegal immigrants?

Speaker 40 And we've got nothing.

Speaker 60 No one's on the ground.

Speaker 34 I'm telling you, I didn't see National Guard.

Speaker 7 I know the National Guard is there.

Speaker 49 They've been there for four or five days, I think.

Speaker 42 But I didn't see any of them.

Speaker 45 And I was in really some of the hardest hit areas.

Speaker 63 I didn't, there was no federal anything except the

Speaker 83 satellite truck for FEMA, which wasn't working at the time.

Speaker 24 But they're going to, oh, they're where the people are.

Speaker 18 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

Speaker 36 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

Speaker 6 people

Speaker 26 anybody could go into a shower it was it's obscene it's obscene when

Speaker 16 when mercury one

Speaker 51 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

Speaker 63 When that's happening,

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 5 Government's not there handing out these drugs.

Speaker 33 I mean, you can go into the cities, you go into homeless areas, and, you know, they'll hand you drugs there.

Speaker 12 You know, lots of drugs.

Speaker 45 You need heroin, they'll help you out on this.

Speaker 40 But insulin, they're not there.

Speaker 28 It is, it's shameful.

Speaker 7 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?

Speaker 33 I should say, trying to.

Speaker 25 We had an air force there of

Speaker 7 737s and 747s on the ground in Iraq.

Speaker 76 Sorry, Afghanistan.

Speaker 45 And the State Department was blocking us. And then something happened that day where they mocked us.

Speaker 53 They mocked us.

Speaker 33 The State Department, we said, okay, it's been three days.

Speaker 9 We got all the paperwork that you told us we had to have.

Speaker 33 Everybody is on paperwork. Oh, no, you need form 117B.

Speaker 54 What is that form?

Speaker 4 It's a new form.

Speaker 63 Okay, where do we get that form?

Speaker 61 Well, you can only get it at the embassy in Afghanistan, in Kabul.

Speaker 66 You closed the embassy three days ago.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 13 Well, how do we get that?

Speaker 56 Well, it's just something you're going to have to figure out.

Speaker 71 Click.

Speaker 45 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.

Speaker 66 This is evil.

Speaker 53 I was that close yesterday.

Speaker 16 This country is so good,

Speaker 52 so good. The people are so good.

Speaker 40 And it's the government that has gone very dark.

Speaker 72 They don't care.

Speaker 55 I know we have the most compassionate, politically correct people who just want the whole rainbow to come together.

Speaker 53 They despise, they despise great swaths of people.

Speaker 66 San Francisco goes down and they need help.

Speaker 7 You damn right Mercury One will be down on the ground and we won't be saying, who did you vote for?

Speaker 39 We will help them.

Speaker 52 Appalachia goes down?

Speaker 2 We're all out of money.

Speaker 49 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 68 You print money!

Speaker 40 You print money!

Speaker 8 Can't take it.
