First, we begin with the negative aspects of our government and the elements of the culture that they represent. I explain how the worship of virtue-signaling has acculturated too many people to narcissism rather than a true quest to help other people. On the other hand, what we are seeing in red America, led by military veterans, is truly the best of our people. We’re joined today for an on-the-ground status report by Dr. Mollie James, a critical care physician who is working on medical triage in the mountains. With her is Dan Nunez, a military veteran and local resident who is coordinating the search and rescue efforts from the Avery County airport. He paints a vivid picture of the dire human needs in the remote mountains but also the superb unity among the veteran organizations that are pooling together their talents to navigate this living hell. They make it clear that they have barely seen a federal presence in the remote areas and that frankly, they feel the private organizations will do a better job.
