  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, I feel like this
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: needs to be said. The Nepalese floods that actually have
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: caused 90 Americans to go missing and a death toll
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: over 500, that catastrophe should overcome what's going to happen
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in the Clancy tribe. I'm not saying the Clancy trial
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: isn't real life because that's very real life. But what
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I am saying is these floods are horrible and I'm
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: here at One Look Up Alex Media to say don't
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: take your eye off this flooding and trying to see
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: where you can help. Rescue efforts resume after newly formed
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: lake threatens the efforts. Uh, Chinese officials saying rescue efforts
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: reach critical stage I mean this is dangerous because it's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: something that isn't in America so why should we care
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but we should Not only because 90 of our brethren
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is there, but because it's a natural disaster. Taking your
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: eye off of the Nepalese floods for, and I'm sorry,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's become a sensationalist case up in Massachusetts. The reality
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of it seems to be distorted and twisted and turned
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: around and really we want the jury to come out
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with a verdict. But I guarantee you there's about one, two, three, four, five,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: six stories about these floods in Nepal. I guarantee you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: there will be about 20 different angles on this Clancy
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: trial and everybody reacting and all the verdicts and it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: going to be a game changer one way or the other.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But let's not let that interfere with the fact that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: real people are really– In trouble. I don't know much
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of Nepal. Or about Nepal. Or Tibet. But I do
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: know that when you see these. Floods. And the massive
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: amount of flooding. That's been hitting their. Land. And all
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the missing. How can you not. Care about that. In
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: addition to the Clancy trial. Flood survivor tells Fox News.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Water is carried away in an entire village. Maybe the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: outlets are covering it. But I guarantee you. I guarantee
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you the Clancy trial verdict will be. By the way
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: 2000 plus missing. Will absolutely be. About. This verdict. All
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: eyes are literally peeled on that verdict. I can feel it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I can feel it. But I'm going to drop some
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: resources here where you can help in this horrible time.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Today's show saying that the State Department releasing a statement
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: today on August 26th saying Nepal And the U.S. Embassy
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is working to account for U.S. citizens who may have
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: been affected. I think they said 90 are missing. Here
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: are the ways to help, according to Today Show. World
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Central Kitchen. Red Cross. Global Giving. UNICEF, although the U.N.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: needs to be fixed up. But UNICEF is always there
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on the scene to support during devastation. And so those
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are a few resources. World Central Kitchen is a food
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: relief nonprofit. Red Cross is, of course, the International Federation
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. And then Global
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Giving started in 2002. Global Giving says it supports other
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: nonprofits by connecting them to donors and companies. So please.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're all awaiting, we're all awaiting this trial deliberation, this
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: jury deliberation to be complete and a verdict handed down.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But you know what? You know what? This matters too.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm putting it up on One Leg Up
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Alex News. That's why I'm putting it on the main page,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on the main vein of this podcast. This matters too.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I issue this warning because this trial, as I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: said a little while ago, has become so sensationalist. This
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: is not sensational. This is real life impacting dozens and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: killing hundreds. And we're going to turn a blind eye
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: because some TikTok mom is going to disagree with this
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: if it goes against Lindsay Clancy. No. No. I'm sorry
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to put it that way. But. If this was not.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: A sensationalized trial. And it feels like. Almost a circus
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at times. The way they're talking about it. Then I'd
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: say yes. And believe me. The Clancy verdict is important.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It is going to change. Things one way or another.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But let's not. Let it have one leg up on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this disaster. Especially when there are Americans suffering from it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and in it. I don't know about you guys, but
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'd prefer to hear more about the rescue efforts than
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a sensationalist trial that's gone on for weeks and the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: deliberations have been going on. let's face it the Clancy
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: trial will be life changing in a way and I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: think changing on how we view different issues and aspects
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and all that but those people lost their homes lost
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: their homes And yes, we mourn the loss of three kids.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: We really do. But if the 24-hour news cycle takes
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: its eye off Nepal, they're doing a disservice to those
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in need. And isn't the media about bringing support and help?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's what the media should
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: be for. But we become too sensational to care about
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: thousands in need in a country that doesn't really impact America.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Except it does. Because we should always be at the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: ready to support those countries. And not just at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ready to report on a sensationalist trial. That has real impact.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: For sure. But it's become sensational. And that's my message.
