  [SPEAKER_01]: So today's topic, and as I mentioned to you guys
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: the weather.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I talked about how the weather has continued to affect us and stop us from maybe not looking at God in a way we should.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: God is the most powerful one.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: and he's not seen but yet he's everywhere, he's never behind and he's always on time.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: We may feel that he doesn't come when he warn them, but he knows exactly when to show up and show out.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you have looked over our weather in the last two months, maybe a month and a half,
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have nothing but devastation on every hand.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have, in Nepal, we have mudslides, we have flooding, here, we have flooding there.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have things of weather.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: or whether impacting issues all over the world.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we just wake up every day to continue to move around like nothing's happening.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's something that we don't look into much, very much, but how nothing stops out of termination of getting a job done.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, people are in desperate times.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, people are in rough situations.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we find ourselves still able to move forward.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Last episode, I talked about this because it was so crazy to me how no one talked about the weather.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now, after the flooding in New York on the East Coast, Connecticut,
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: how things have happened, Northeastern trails up Massachusetts, it leaves devastation carnage.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: We are constantly seeing how the weather is really, really changing.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I told you guys, and I mentioned this, and I mentioned a lot of stuff, but I mentioned
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: New York this past weekend, devastation of just weather, Connecticut, Harford, Bridgeboy, Stanford, just heavy, heavy rains and flooding on the east coast.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And hurricanes have hit back to back, over and over carnage, Texas,
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: all over the weather has played a part and I want you to know that our world is changing and it's shifting where we're forgetting about what's on the main page because of what's
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: on that side of Israel and places like that, we're fighting a war.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, you can say it's our war, their war, his war, your war, whatever you want to call it, but it's all over oil.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's be real.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about it.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is nothing that has not been talked about every year.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: money, power, oil, respect, Russia, India, Israel.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is what it is.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: It happens all the time, right?
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So China, they all involved.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're all, we're all involved with the oil.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Americans want to control the barrel crude, see how much it is if we keep it low, that we can have diesel low, regular fuel.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we're noticing how this is determining what goes on when I everyday life, Trump is trying to come back and make us respect, make them respect us, which is needed because they've been getting away with murder for years.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know a lot of people,
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: are are not with Trump and maybe against some of his ways and how they call them the orange man in the suit is running our country.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I do understand how Americans and United States is being used and disrespected by other countries.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that is beyond the political
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: eyesight.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have to look past the veil to understand that we gave life to all of them.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now on the return we have signed things in the past that has jeopardized America's future.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's elected to go back into office to run to try to make things better.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's all his fault, I'm not saying the prior predecessors or people before him has not came in and did damage or tried to change what's going on.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: But for right now, for right now, what we have in place with America's people, food, water, fuel,
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: everything is being hit.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Slowly as you see the weather is now starting to play a factor.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because if you got bad weather, you can't ship nothing goes through.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't help.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't give out resources to help people that are in need.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just saw something today about 20 minutes ago of you guys hearing this video, which is being recorded on Monday, around Jesus.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, it's about 12, now it's actually Tuesday morning, 12 midnight.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: about the Delaware Bridge, which is a high real estate interstate bridge that kicks on a lot of traffic, back and forth, that need to be repaired.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now you mix on the weather, you mix on the fuel, you mix on the food, you mix on, we're in war, you mix on all of these different things that's happening.
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have a crisis on the diesel fuel that is so high, people cannot afford to have truckers on the road.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it again.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: America runs on the truck and company.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I say it again, America runs on the trucking company.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: We run often our truckers on the highways and byways, moving our products up and down the east and west coast on these highways, and it takes fuel to do it.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who's going to move the merchandise?
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we don't get a hold of Gaza or whatever it needs to happen where we can shut down that and bring these prices down.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: How could we move food?
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, the big places you can say like the Walmart, like Harris Teter, like Whole Foods, their truck drivers might still be in service somewhat because they are these Fortune 500 companies
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: and still get merchandise out.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: The expense will be great.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that means the price of food going to go up as well.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So there's a demand on demand with that.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you got to understand one crisis creates another crisis.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whether you pay for it now, you're on pay for it later, you know.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you got to understand that this is not good for American people.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: How are the people going to get their medication?
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's so many people dependent on medication.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if they shut down, what goes on with our meds or transportation, moving, trucking, can't turn out trucking pharmaceutical, we have devastation by the hundreds.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't want that.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So in order to stop that, we need to make sure we have people in place, things in place.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: The topic for today's podcast is stay ready.
• 14:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not over yet.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I want you to understand that October is amongst us.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: We still got October, November, and December.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: and we need to know that you need to be in place where you can take care of your family, have the resources to provide different things for your family, and perhaps understand that if crap hit the fan, we're all you to provide for your family.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I want you to understand that this is something really major that's going on.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hurricane Polo is around the corner.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is terrible.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we keep getting hit by them.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: We know about Texas now is planning a emergency operations activation for flooding starting Wednesday.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: and it's now Monday, which is really now Tuesday morning, but they talked about it Monday because Texas and Allington been a drought out there, north Texas, been a drought out there for the longest time and finally the clouds are heavy, finally they'll get some water besets, the ground is so hard
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They expect mass fluttings, flash fluttings here, flash fluttings there.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like the water won't be absorbed where it needs to go.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we got to see what happened after that.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they can't dictate how long and how much rain.
• 16:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they did say 12 to 20 inches of water, 12 to 20 inches of water is a lot of water.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have to understand what's going on.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: We try to have,
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: these services in place to help our people, the American people and the communities.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: But unfortunately, because of the pumpkin man, as they would say, Trump has shut down a lot of programs, cutbacks.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: and some of these programs that they shut down were very, very important services of resources that could help in our community and help give us what we need.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's unfortunate.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so unfortunate
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't get to you guys the way I want to, I want to be able to give you these podcast episodes in this episode five days a week if I could, because I love to just give you information as I get it.
