- 0:33Speaker 4: Donkey of the day.
- 0:34Speaker 5: Donkey today for Wednesday, October ninth, Cloes. The Governor Rond
- 0:37Speaker 5: de Santis of Florida. Ron De Santis is refusing to
- 0:41Speaker 5: take Vice President Harris's calls in regard to the Hurricane Helene
- 0:45Speaker 5: and Hurricane Milton. Now, if you haven't heard the Vice
- 0:48Speaker 5: President Kamala Harris and Ronda Santis is not taking her calls.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Let's listen.
- 0:53Speaker 1: NBC has recording Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes,
- 0:58Speaker 1: resources and health. Okay, how does that hurt the situation here?
- 1:03Speaker 6: You know, moments of crisis if nothing else, should really
- 1:08Speaker 6: be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader
- 1:12Speaker 6: says they're going to put politics aside.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I put the people first. People aren't desperate, need to
- 1:17Speaker 1: support right now, and playing political games at this moment
- 1:21Speaker 1: in these.
- 1:21Speaker 6: Crisis situations, these are the height.
- 1:24Speaker 7: Of emergency situations.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It's just utterly irritompable.
- 1:27Speaker 6: And it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship
- 1:31Speaker 6: instead of doing the job that you've took them out
- 1:33Speaker 6: to do.
- 1:34Speaker 1: But just to put the people first.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I agree, you got to put the people first.
- 1:38Speaker 5: You know, people low politics, but now in fairness, Governor
- 1:42Speaker 5: Rondisantis said he has spoken to President Biden and FEMA
- 1:46Speaker 5: officials in preparation for Hurricane Milton, but he also said
- 1:50Speaker 5: on Fox with Sean Hannity that the Vice President Harris
- 1:53Speaker 5: is delusional.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Let's listen.
- 1:55Speaker 8: And so for Kamala Harris to try to say that
- 1:58Speaker 8: my sole folk on the people of Florida is somehow
- 2:02Speaker 8: selfish is delusional. I'm in contact with the President of
- 2:06Speaker 8: the United States, I'm in contact with FEMA director. I'm
- 2:10Speaker 8: obviously managing all our state agencies. We're supporting all our
- 2:13Speaker 8: local government. And I will say this. I've had storms
- 2:16Speaker 8: under both President Trump and President Biden, and I've worked well.
- 2:20Speaker 2: With both of them.
- 2:20Speaker 8: She's the first one who's trying to politicize the storm,
- 2:25Speaker 8: and she's doing that just because of her campaign.
- 2:29Speaker 5: I'm glad Governor DeSantis talked to President Biden. I'm glad
- 2:31Speaker 5: that he talked to FEMA officials. But we have to
- 2:34Speaker 5: be honest here. The person politicizing this issue is Ron DeSantis.
- 2:38Speaker 5: For him to say he didn't answer her call because
- 2:40Speaker 5: it seemed political is insane. Okay, it's a natural disaster,
- 2:46Speaker 5: a Category six that is headed to Florida, all right,
- 2:49Speaker 5: and they don't even have category six. Okay, she's the
- 2:51Speaker 5: vice president of the United States of America. I'm glad
- 2:54Speaker 5: you spoke to the president. I'm glad you spoke the
- 2:55Speaker 5: officials from FEMA. But if she called to give you
- 2:57Speaker 5: some encouraging words, and she called to just some emotional support,
- 3:01Speaker 5: if she called.
- 3:01Speaker 2: To say, hey, we're gonna make sure Florida has everything it.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Needs to recover whatever it was, there is nothing wrong
- 3:07Speaker 5: with that. You only ducked her call because she is
- 3:10Speaker 5: the Democratic presidential nominee and she's running against your guy,
- 3:14Speaker 5: Donald Trump. Okay, you can't play nights with her in
- 3:17Speaker 5: any way, shape or form, because you don't want you
- 3:19Speaker 5: don't want it to look.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Like you are giving her any type of energy because
- 3:22Speaker 2: you want your guy to win.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Okay, not only that, Desantas, you're talking out both sides
- 3:27Speaker 5: of your mouth, and one breath you're saying you didn't
- 3:29Speaker 5: even know she tried to call, and then in another
- 3:31Speaker 5: breath you said, the call seems political, Which is it?
- 3:35Speaker 2: All I'm saying is the same thing I've been saying.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I've been saying it all week.
- 3:39Speaker 5: I don't understand how politicians politicize these natural disasters. Okay,
- 3:43Speaker 5: Mother nature should be the most humbling thing for humans
- 3:46Speaker 5: because mother and nature don't care what race you are.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Mother nature don't care about your sexuality, your religion, your
- 3:51Speaker 5: political party.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Hurricane Milton is gonna come.
- 3:55Speaker 5: F things up and then leave, and you know who
- 3:57Speaker 5: has to help put that community back together, the people,
- 4:01Speaker 5: And in moments like that, it don't matter what your
- 4:03Speaker 5: differences are, because the goal is the same, and the
- 4:06Speaker 5: goal is to simply survive.
- 4:08Speaker 7: That's it.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Okay. That is the disconnect, all right? You need?
- 4:11Speaker 5: That is the disconnect between elected officials and people. You
- 4:14Speaker 5: need public servants that care about just people, because the
- 4:17Speaker 5: people don't care about politics. I keep trying to tell
- 4:19Speaker 5: folks when they talk to me about, you know, black men,
- 4:22Speaker 5: and why black men aren't engaged in the political process,
- 4:24Speaker 5: or why you know, black men might be gravitating towards Trump.
- 4:27Speaker 5: This is not a race thing, it's not a political
- 4:31Speaker 5: party thing.
- 4:31Speaker 2: It's a class thing.
- 4:32Speaker 5: And people who are out here living check to check.
- 4:34Speaker 5: People who are out here just trying to survive, you know,
- 4:37Speaker 5: they're just tied of getting their asse kicked, so they're
- 4:40Speaker 5: probably just they're just disengaged from the whole political process period.
- 4:43Speaker 5: You know why, because people who live in these ghettos,
- 4:46Speaker 5: in these inner cities, people from these rural areas in
- 4:48Speaker 5: the South, whose conditions have been the exact same regardless
- 4:52Speaker 5: of who's in office on a federal and local level,
- 4:54Speaker 5: they could care less. They could care less about politics.
- 4:58Speaker 5: And those are the people these elects officials don't see.
- 5:01Speaker 5: We had a call this morning from a brother who
- 5:03Speaker 5: is currently in Tampa. His name is Tone and Hurricane
- 5:07Speaker 5: Milton this category five monster that meteorologists say they would
- 5:11Speaker 5: label a category six if they could.
- 5:13Speaker 2: But five is the highest the goals.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Tone just finished dealing with Hurricane Helene, and now Hurricane
- 5:18Speaker 5: Milton is coming. If you think he cares about politics
- 5:21Speaker 5: at a time like this, you're insane. But he said
- 5:24Speaker 5: it better than I could ever do I ever could.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Let's listen to Tone.
- 5:27Speaker 6: It don't matter what that is. Democrat, Republican. They all treason, man.
- 5:31Speaker 6: They're all about money. Bro. Why do these people care
- 5:35Speaker 6: about American people?
- 5:36Speaker 5: Bro?
- 5:37Speaker 6: It's hurt. Bro, It's hurt.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Bro.
- 5:40Speaker 6: People wake up every day just want to live it life. Bro.
- 5:42Speaker 6: You got Greek snakes, man. You got to Greece snake
- 5:47Speaker 6: call themselves government purpose people, bro. And they don't give
- 5:51Speaker 6: a damn bro. They don't give it about the micros
- 5:54Speaker 6: coming over here. They using them too.
- 5:55Speaker 8: Man.
- 5:57Speaker 6: It's right man.
- 5:59Speaker 7: You have.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Man Man say he can't wait till God come back.
- 6:05Speaker 2: You think you care about you damn elected officials. He
- 6:08Speaker 2: don't care y'all.
- 6:09Speaker 5: He waiting for God to come back because y'all have
- 6:12Speaker 5: failed him so much in his life. Ron, While you
- 6:15Speaker 5: worried about politics, people are in pain. While you're trying
- 6:18Speaker 5: to score up political points with your constituents, people are hurting.
- 6:21Speaker 5: And until we have true public servants on both sides
- 6:24Speaker 5: who put the people over politics. Things will never change.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Please give Governor Ron the santis the biggest.
- 6:31Speaker 2: He hulled.
- 6:37Speaker 7: Yeah, that called earlier was in here crying.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I thought our glasses were just too.
- 6:45Speaker 7: I thought, I mean, yeah, but.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Let's open up the phone lines. Thank you for that,
- 6:49Speaker 2: donkey to.
- 6:49Speaker 7: Day what I felt really bad?
- 6:52Speaker 2: Five five one O five one. What are your thoughts?
- 6:55Speaker 1: Uh?
- 6:55Speaker 3: Salute to a friend of mine. He's out in Tampa.
- 6:58Speaker 3: He just says, Yo, I'm home, could down crazy. He
- 7:01Speaker 3: says three hospitals have been evacuated. They've been sending patients
- 7:04Speaker 3: to Miami. He says, we're hoping for the best. He
- 7:06Speaker 3: said his house was built up to date, but they've
- 7:09Speaker 3: never seen anything like that. He said he's on the
- 7:11Speaker 3: dirty side of the eyewall. I don't know what that means,
- 7:13Speaker 3: but he's on the dirty side of the eyewall. He
- 7:17Speaker 3: just says, I'm angry, just like that caller from Tampa.
- 7:19Speaker 3: He said he was right. He says, so far, the
- 7:21Speaker 3: rain is and winded, is mild, but it's picking up,
- 7:24Speaker 3: and you know, we're expecting for the worst.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Later on.
- 7:27Speaker 5: By the way, there's nothing you can do with a
- 7:28Speaker 5: natural disaster, like no political party created a natural disaster,
- 7:32Speaker 5: But it's all about how people react once that natural
- 7:35Speaker 5: disaster happens. Like, you know, I saw speaker at the house,
- 7:37Speaker 5: Mike Johnson. I was watching him on something last night,
- 7:40Speaker 5: and he was like, the house is in recess. They'll
- 7:43Speaker 5: deal with the aid and everything when they come back
- 7:45Speaker 5: after thirty days. You know how long thirty days is?
- 7:48Speaker 5: Too long after the election? Too long, Like, come on home, bro.
- 7:52Speaker 4: The dirty side of the eyewad just looked it up.
- 7:54Speaker 4: It just means he's where it's go hitro bad at.
- 7:56Speaker 4: So they use the eye of the storm to determine
- 7:59Speaker 4: where gonna be worse. So the dirty side of the
- 8:01Speaker 4: eyewalls where the winds will tend to be the strongest.
- 8:04Speaker 4: The dirty side falls over Tampa Bay.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, so all right again, pray for your family. I
