• The union in California struck a deal a few years ago so they don’t have to strike, that doesn’t mean they can’t they just don’t have to.
• The union man vs someone that lives in a right to work state like here in Louisiana.
• I don’t know how that strike works w/ the right to work aspect of the state.
• We have both here so how does that work?
• This brings up the age old struggle of the labor unions vs the man.
• So all the ports have come to a complete standstill as of midnight last night.
• Mike Parrott was talking about how our ports are still back in the stone age compared to other ports.
• Lots of other ports in other countries have almost 50% automation.
• Supply Chain Shortage in 2020 – 
• Stuff isn’t coming in and stuff isn’t going out.
• So all those non-union workers are also out of work. 
• It will be a snowball effect.
• Due to the natural disaster that just happened this strike won’t last long.
• These people will need lumber and steel to rebuild in these states effected by Hurricane Helene.
• QUESTION: What is the average pay of a full-time ILA member?
• ANSWER: $81,120 on average for the year
• They are asking for 70% increase which would get them to $143,520 per year.

• You just have to show up.
• You have to give the appearance of seeming to care.
• Has Kamala done that?
• Has Trump done that? 
• Donald Trump goes to Georgia yesterday. 
• He showed up w/ semi trucks filled w/ food, water and tanker trucks filled w/ gasoline.
• He has done this before, this is nothing NEW for him.
• He has always done this for people.
• He has always been one of the first to respond in time of crisis.
• Kamala Harris can’t say the same.
• The optics of this is terrible for her.
• She went to the headquarters of FEMA in Mordor and gave a pep talk to the bureaucrats.
• She told them how well they were doing and how stressed they must be.
• Donald went to the PEOPLE effected and gave comfort and aid.
• He spoke w/ Elon Musk and made a deal to get Starlinks sent out especially to the police and emergency crews as they STILL have no way of communicating. 
• He had already called Elon and made a deal.

• 77% or 70% is a tough pill to swallow. 
• When was the last time they got a raise?

HEADLINE: ILA Strike Watch 2024: Here’s How Much ILA Members Make & How Much They Demand Ahead of Strike Tuesday by Jared Vineyard 

• Do they have apprentices? 
• Do they have a level above that but not quite professional like a journeymen?
• There should be steps in obtaining this trade.
• Then there would be Masters that would teach the trade to apprentices. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Harold Daggett Leader of ILA (International Longshoremen Association) – In today’s world is changing. They aren’t making millions anymore they are making millions. I want a piece of that for my men. They made that during COVID. My men died out there w/ the virus, we all got sick w/ the virus…we all went to work, no one stayed home. Now, I want to be compensated for that. I’m not asking for the world. They know what I want.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Harold Daggett Leader of ILA (International Longshoremen Association) – These people don’t know what a real strike is. The first week it will be all over the news. Second week the guys can’t sell cars b/c the cars aren’t coming off the boats. Everything in the US comes on a ship. Construction workers can’t work b/c the lumber and the steel isn’t coming in. Then everyone is hating the long shore men b/c we went on strike. In today’s world I will cripple you!

• I think that Daggett is right.
• They are going to win this.
• How will they get this extra money to these men?
• Will it be hourly or will it be a large check w/ a lump sum?
• We talk about bringing back the guilds all the time here on this station.
• We see this set-up and it is very GUILD like but are they acting like a guild?

Brendan Carr on X: The FCC just released the text of its 3-2 decision to approve a Soros backed group’s purchase of 200+ radio stations. The Commission’s decision today is unprecedented.  Never before has the Commission voted to approve the transfer of a broadcast license—let alone the transfer of broadcast licenses for over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets—without following the requirements and procedures codified in federal law.  Not once.

QUESTION: Who said elections have consequences?

ANSWER: Barrack Obama

• The President gets to appoint the majority of the elections communications department.
• This is an awful way to regulate a communications industry.
• It needs certain rules and regulations. 
• A Pirate Radio Station –
• You have to pay for FCC licenses, there are tons of regulations and it is very expensive.
• A pirate radio station doesn’t have to do that.
• Libertarians say that is a good thing but in any event there are certain things that should happen to ‘regulate’ radio and tv stations.

Billy Payne from Crusader Stadium: I have done a lot of land survey work at Port Everglades and Port Tampa in Florida. They are worlds to themselves from security, protocols, etc.. a group of people you do not want to mess with, I say mob connected from my experience the end result will be the cost of goods will increase, maybe the change will be that we do not need to import everything.

• This is America, that ain’t gonna happen.
• We like our cheap Chinese crap.
• You have Dr Casey Means, Robert Kennedy Jr and others all saying the same thing and people are JUST NOW starting to listen.
• To not import things would be great.
• Exporting goods is a good thing as is importing.
• Imported cheese, wine and whiskey and things like that is great.
• It is imprudent to import certain things.
• We can make any manner of cheese, we have cows and things but….there are certain things that can’t be made outside of certain geographic areas of this world.
• We don’t have a problem growing wheat.
• You need cows and wheat – you can survive pretty much anything if you have those 2. 
• I think what Billy Payne and others are talking about is the fact we don’t make things here b/c we have lazy people. 
• Americans simply don’t want to put in the work.
• The work to grow your own food.
• The work to harvest and preserve the food you worked to grow.

• Freon and DDT
• Climate alarmism in the 90’s did all manner of damage.
• Can you kill the ozone w/ CFC?
• What causes the hole in the ozone layer?
• The sun.
• They changed the regulations and banned freon.
• They could do that why not ban glyphosate? 
• There are natural ways of getting rid of weeds.
• Stop using that crap on your farm and in your yard.

• Walz will say he is the family guy and he owns a gun.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Jen Psaki w/ Doug Emhoff – Reshaping Masculinity – You are an incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been an evolution for you? 

• You know who is a real man?
• Bug Hall!
• He threw his Hollywood life away.
• Masculine men put up borders and protect the women and the children.
• That is why these people can’t understand us.
• They are against everything we stand for.
• Real men want closed borders.
• Real men stand up and become husbands and fathers.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Greg Gutfeld on The Five – Masculinity & Tim Walz – You know nothing says masculinity like knocking up your nanny and pointing her in the direction of Planned Parenthood. We told you a while ago that this race was about gender, and it was never about class. There is no kind of man that would support a party that releases criminals to prey upon women. It shows you their definition of masculinity is a lot like their definition of feminism…there is none.

• Indictment of city contractor Randy Farrell, federal prosecutors portray New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell as a venal politician abusing her office for petty graft — while placing the public at great risk. It seems clear they intend to indict her. 
• Farrell faces 25 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and honest services fraud. The indictment accuses him and his building-inspection firm, IECI, of submitting hundreds of fake permit applications on behalf of unlicensed electricians who paid Farrell bribes in exchange for getting work that should have gone to licensed electricians.
• The indictment also accuses Farrell of gifting Cantrell — identified as “Public Official 1” — thousands of dollars’ worth of tickets to New Orleans Saints games, an iPhone and lunch at a downtown steakhouse as part of a scheme to convince her to fire Jen Cecil, then a top official at the city’s Department of Safety and Permits. Cecil reportedly had complained to higher-ups at City Hall about IECI’s business practices.
• Where is Lee Zeldin to report on this?
• Where are they all to report on all of this the Satanic stuff I am referring to?

HEADLINE: The Secret Histories by Rod Dreher 

• They control everything.
• When you wonder how all of this got so bad you have to realize they prepositioned people in places of high power.
• Social science findings showing that younger people are far more open to the occult than older generations. But why is this? He said the data indicate that they want an experience of the numinous, and — this is the key thing — that they seek out the occult for a guaranteed numinous experience. You cannot force God to show up on command. Demons will come if you call them, every time. This is something that every exorcist I’ve spoken with attests to — and say that this is the trap these evil entities lay for people. It’s not that God doesn’t want to show Himself to us, or that He does not do so from time to time, in astonishing ways. It’s rather that God does not want people to think of him as a sort of cosmic butler, to be dragooned into our service. He wants to know us as Lord, in a relationship of submission, but also in love. The demons only want to enslave.

• NOT all masculinity is bad.

• Cost us a minimum $5 million a day.
• Demand side shock during COVID.
• There was more demand.
• If this goes longer than a week we will be in crisis. 
• We are so far behind w/ technology in our ports and infrastructure.
• You can automate a lot of that port and the system.
• The workers are saying we won’t stand for it.
• There are 85,000 workers.
• This is not a good thing at all and I don’t think the government will get involved at all.
• Port workers..they vote too.
• So this is a big deal happening right before a big presidential election.
• Who is the boogyman that the ILA is negotiation with?
• Is it the companies that own the ports?
• Who pays these guys?
• Port Authority which is a public organization.
• Not many ports are privately owned.
• These workers have the upper hand here.
• Where is the media on this?
• There is total and complete devastation and the MSM isn’t covering it.

• Tim Walz was never a great debater and he never wanted to debate but the Harris campaign is pushing him to do this debate w/ Vance.
• They are saying they will cancel this debate and say they want more coverage of the disaster.
• Who is reporting he is trying to cancel this debate for Walz?
• He told Kamala in the very beginning that he can’t debate.
• He has NEVER really debated.
• He looked at the flooding and said, lets just do fundraisers for the effected.
• Pete Buttigieg has been coaching him and he has NO confidence that he can do this debate against Vance.
• He also knows they cannot just pull out w/ no rational reason.
• This hurricane and the devastation provides Walz cover.
• This is supposed to happen during prime time.
• Would they just have a panel of people asking JD Vance questions?
• Walz said that these commentators won’t be as easy on him as they were with Harris.
• He has been trying to tell the Harris campaign he can’t do a lot of things. 
• He threw his hat in the ring just to get a leg up but he is now saying “I just can’t do this”.

• Who is acting presidential right now in this crisis?

AUDIO/VIDEO: Young Woman to Other Women – Use your brain babe. What rights did you lose when Trump was last president? None. We lost nothing. He is trying to protect us by closing our borders and keeping criminal men out of our country. He is protecting us in sports by kicking out boys. Use your brain babe!

• We didn’t lose any rights she is correct.
• They don’t have to answer the question of will he be a dictator b/c we saw he wasn’t.
• Do you remember Stockdale in 92?
