Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: This is a miracle.
- 0:04Speaker 2: There is no question that there are problems in this
- 0:07Speaker 2: country between police and community.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Yes, you are a donkey.
- 0:13Speaker 2: The latest on that police killing of a black man.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.
- 0:18Speaker 2: And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and
- 0:19Speaker 2: this is what he did.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And so we are in a state of emergency.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the
- 0:27Speaker 3: number one threat to our society.
- 0:29Speaker 1: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
- 0:33Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, bitches!
- 0:35Speaker 3: All right, Sean Lee, please tell me, why was I
- 0:37Speaker 3: your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day
- 0:39Speaker 3: for Tuesday, October 27th goes to the Pentagon. OK, my
- 0:43Speaker 3: fellow Americans, I have already told you all between now
- 0:45Speaker 3: and November 3rd, I'm expecting a lot of effery.
- 0:49Speaker 1: In this dancery that we call a country.
- 0:52Speaker 3: OK, but I also want you to know if nothing
- 0:55Speaker 3: happens between now and November 3rd and we have free
- 0:57Speaker 3: and fair elections, which we probably won't, the next three
- 1:00Speaker 3: months are going to be hell because if the Democrats
- 1:02Speaker 3: win Congress, the GOP could refuse to seat them. The
- 1:06Speaker 3: next 90 days after November 3rd could be hell for
- 1:09Speaker 3: another reason.
- 1:09Speaker 1: OK, see, yesterday I saw a story.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Floating around and the headline was the Pentagon wants every
- 1:17Speaker 3: major U.S. military base to run for 90 days without
- 1:21Speaker 3: outside help if a war cuts off power in supply chains.
- 1:26Speaker 3: And I saw Britain urging families to stockpile food and water.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I don't know if you all have been paying.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Attention, but let's go to One America News Network for
- 1:33Speaker 3: the report, please.
- 1:34Speaker 2: The War Department lays out plans for a doomsday initiative
- 1:36Speaker 2: if major global conflict erupts. One America's Noah Sakatas reports.
- 1:41Speaker 2: We have the most powerful and the most prepared military
- 1:43Speaker 2: on the planet. Nobody can touch us.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's not even close.
- 1:47Speaker 2: My job, your job, our job is.
- 1:50Speaker 1: To keep it that way.
- 1:51Speaker 4: The Pentagon is preparing military bases across America with internal
- 1:54Speaker 4: support systems if the global communication cuts off for at
- 1:58Speaker 4: least 90 days. On Sunday, the War Department spokesperson, Sean Parnell,
- 2:03Speaker 4: disclosed the Fortress Initiative, which seeks to assure all domestic
- 2:07Speaker 4: facilities possess sustainment infrastructure like portable nuclear reactors, microgrids, well-stocked munitions,
- 2:14Speaker 4: and fuel reserves.
- 2:15Speaker 2: We will fuse procurement with operations at scale and then
- 2:20Speaker 2: allow warfighters and engineers and entrepreneurs to learn, adapt, and
- 2:24Speaker 2: rapidly iterate on their domain and their mission.
- 2:28Speaker 4: This is the pentagon is in the midst of project
- 2:30Speaker 4: meridian a hundred and twenty day initiative announced in early
- 2:33Speaker 4: october as a think tank to look into the far
- 2:36Speaker 4: future and determine just what technologies and weapons will be
- 2:40Speaker 4: needed to maintain the edge over america's enemies that project
- 2:45Speaker 4: and the fortress initiative seek to work with civilian contractors
- 2:49Speaker 4: to build up these essential goods to maintain the defense
- 2:52Speaker 4: of the homeland.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Every single day This government finds a way to prove
- 2:57Speaker 3: the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan correct. OK, the minister has
- 3:00Speaker 3: been advising people to keep enough non-perishable food stored at
- 3:03Speaker 3: home to last anywhere from two to three weeks. OK,
- 3:06Speaker 3: maybe two to six months, even a year.
- 3:08Speaker 1: But I digress. Back to the matter at hand. Dear Pentagon,
- 3:11Speaker 1: I have a question for you. If our government.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Is preparing the military to survive a national catastrophe for
- 3:18Speaker 3: 90 days. A, what the hell do y'all know is
- 3:21Speaker 3: about to happen that we don't? And B, what's the
- 3:24Speaker 3: plan for the American people during those same 90 days?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Okay, this bears repeating, all right?
- 3:29Speaker 3: According to Fortune, the Pentagon is developing an initiative called Fortress.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Do your Googles, okay?
- 3:34Speaker 3: Designed to allow major military bases to operate independently for
- 3:38Speaker 3: at least 90 days if the country experiences a major
- 3:42Speaker 3: infrastructure failure. We're talking power outages, cyber attacks, water shortages,
- 3:47Speaker 3: disrupted supply chains. They're exploring independent power systems, nuclear micro-reactors,
- 3:53Speaker 3: emergency supplies, everything necessary to.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Keep these bases functioning. I've been on this radio telling y'all.
- 3:59Speaker 3: That I think what happened in places like Gary, Indiana
- 4:03Speaker 3: was a social experiment. OK, they've been warning us about
- 4:05Speaker 3: a national blackout for years. They've been telling us the
- 4:08Speaker 3: power grid was vulnerable.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So this news doesn't surprise me.
- 4:11Speaker 3: So I have no problem with the Pentagon getting the
- 4:13Speaker 3: military to be prepared for that.
- 4:15Speaker 1: That makes sense.
- 4:16Speaker 3: OK, the United States military should absolutely have a plan
- 4:19Speaker 3: for when things go left. But what about everybody else? OK,
- 4:24Speaker 3: what about us citizens of this great country? You know,
- 4:27Speaker 3: we the people. OK, because if the Pentagon is preparing
- 4:30Speaker 3: for 90 days without electricity and water and outside supplies,
- 4:34Speaker 3: clearly somebody believes that a doomsday scenario is serious enough.
- 4:39Speaker 3: The plan for because it could potentially happen. So what's
- 4:42Speaker 3: the plan for the communities surrounding those military bases?
- 4:46Speaker 1: OK, what happens to the elderly?
- 4:47Speaker 2: Huh?
- 4:48Speaker 3: People on dialysis, folks who depend on refrigerated magic medication. OK,
- 4:52Speaker 3: families with young kids.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And yes, as.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Minister Farrakhan has been preaching, we need to stockpile 90
- 4:58Speaker 3: days of food and water. But.
- 5:00Speaker 1: With what money?
- 5:02Speaker 3: OK, have you seen the price of groceries because of
- 5:05Speaker 3: your president?
- 5:06Speaker 1: All right. I can't afford groceries for the next nine days. Nonetheless, 90.
- 5:10Speaker 3: OK, so many Americans can't afford to prepare for next weekend.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Yet you want us to prepare for the apocalypse. You
- 5:18Speaker 3: got people putting ten dollars worth of gas in their cars.
- 5:20Speaker 3: You think they got 90 days of canned goods in
- 5:22Speaker 3: the basement? And yes, I know we have FEMA, but
- 5:26Speaker 3: FEMA under Trump don't hit the same. OK, we've already
- 5:28Speaker 3: seen what happens when disasters overwhelm our emergency response systems.
- 5:32Speaker 3: And believe me, the power grid going out around the
- 5:35Speaker 3: country would absolutely overwhelm them. OK, I was born in 1978,
- 5:38Speaker 3: so I've seen Katrina and Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I've seen the Texas power grid failure. I think that
- 5:45Speaker 1: was 2021. Those overwhelmed us.
- 5:47Speaker 3: OK, and those weren't nationwide catastrophes lasting 90 days. So
- 5:52Speaker 3: imagine the power goes out, water stops running, communications fail
- 5:56Speaker 3: and supply chains break down across the country.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Who's bringing food to the neighborhoods?
- 6:02Speaker 3: OK, how are hospitals staying operational? Who's making sure people
- 6:06Speaker 3: have clean drinking water? These are things this country sucks
- 6:10Speaker 3: at now. So imagine a 90 day power outage. OK,
- 6:13Speaker 3: we talk about national security all the time.
- 6:16Speaker 1: But what exactly are we.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Securing if the institutions survive and the people don't? And
- 6:22Speaker 3: please don't forget those soldiers have families, too. OK, what
- 6:24Speaker 3: good is having a military base fully operational if the
- 6:28Speaker 3: people those soldiers love are struggling to survive right outside
- 6:32Speaker 3: the gates? Now, I'm not fear mongering this morning. OK,
- 6:35Speaker 3: I'm just telling folks, look alive. OK, planning for the
- 6:37Speaker 3: worst doesn't mean the worst is coming tomorrow. But if
- 6:40Speaker 3: the Pentagon is taking the possibility of a 90 day
- 6:44Speaker 3: infrastructure failure seriously, then you should, too. OK, the American
- 6:48Speaker 3: people deserve to know what protections exist for them. Maybe
- 6:51Speaker 3: those plans exist, maybe they don't. If they do, explain them.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Because I don't want to find out during a national
- 6:58Speaker 3: emergency that the military has 90 days of electricity, food,
- 7:02Speaker 3: and clean water while the rest of us are standing
- 7:04Speaker 3: outside the gates looking like extras from The Walking Dead, okay?
- 7:08Speaker 3: America cannot call itself prepared for a national catastrophe if only.
- 7:13Speaker 1: The military is prepared to survive it, okay?
- 7:16Speaker 3: Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon, if you're preparing to survive 90
- 7:19Speaker 3: days without the rest of the country, Who's making sure
- 7:22Speaker 3: the rest of the country can survive those same 90 days?
- 7:26Speaker 1: Please let Chelsea Handler give the Pentagon the biggest hee-haw.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Hee-haw!
- 7:29Speaker 2: Hee-haw!
- 7:30Speaker 1: That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Mm-mm-mm. All right, folks.
- 7:36Speaker 1: You're about to see some things you ain't never seen before. Okay?
- 7:40Speaker 1: All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
- 7:42Speaker 1: That's right. And speaking of social experiments, I just mentioned Gary, Indiana.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Coming in, we have the mayor of Gary, Indiana, Eddie Melton.
- 7:49Speaker 1: OK, he is an individual who led.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Emergency response and accountability efforts after the two week power
- 7:57Speaker 3: outage that affected thousands of residents.
- 7:59Speaker 1: In Gary, Indiana.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Anybody who knows a thing or two about how to
- 8:02Speaker 3: navigate through a power outage.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's Mr. Mayor Eddie Milton. That's right.
- 8:06Speaker 3: And salute to all our listeners from Gary, Indiana, that
- 8:08Speaker 3: called us to let us know that the power was
- 8:10Speaker 3: out and that they still didn't have power. And salute
- 8:12Speaker 3: to Mimi for bringing that to us as well.
- 8:14Speaker 1: We're going to talk to the mayor of Gary, Indiana
- 8:16Speaker 1: when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
