Jessica Moore (0:04)

There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community.

Charlamagne Tha God (0:10)

Yes, you are a donkey.

SPEAKER_3 (0:13)

The latest on that police killing of a black man.

SPEAKER_4 (0:15)

Now the new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

SPEAKER_3 (0:18)

Uh, man, you have to say it was a really bad day for him, man.

SPEAKER_5 (0:20)

This is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency.

Charlamagne Tha God (0:24)

Okay, white supremacist violence is always has been the number one threat to our society.

SPEAKER_5 (0:29)

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

Charlamagne Tha God (0:33)

The Breakfast Club, bitches.

Jessica Moore (0:35)

All right, Charlamagne, please tell me, why was I your Donkey of the Day?

Charlamagne Tha God (0:39)

Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 27th, goes to the Pentagon. Okay, my fellow Americans, I have already told y'all between now and November 3rd, I'm expecting a lot of effery in this dance-ery that we call a country. Okay, but I also want you to know, if nothing happens between now and November 3rd, and we have free and fair elections, which we probably won't, the next three months are going to be hell, because if the Democrats win Congress, the GOP could refuse to seat them. But the next 90 days after November 3rd could be hell for another reason. Okay, see yesterday, I saw a story floating around, and the headline was, the Pentagon wants every major US military base to run for 90 days without outside help if a war cuts off power and supply chains. And I saw Britain urging families to stockpile food and water. I don't know if y'all have been paying attention, but let's go to One America News Network for the report, please.

SPEAKER_6 (1:34)

The War Department lays out plans for a doomsday initiative if major global conflict erupts. One America's Noah Cicadas reports.

SPEAKER_3 (1:40)

We have the most powerful and the most prepared military on the planet. Nobody can touch us. It's not even close.

My job, your job, our job is to keep it that way.

SPEAKER_4 (1:51)

The Pentagon is preparing military bases across America with internal support systems if the global communication cuts off for at least 90 days. On Sunday, the War Department spokesperson, Sean Parnell, disclosed the fortress initiative, which seeks to assure all domestic facilities possess sustainment infrastructure like portable nuclear reactors, micro grids, well stock munitions and fuel reserves.

SPEAKER_3 (2:15)

We will fuse procurement with operations at scale and then allow war fighters and engineers and entrepreneurs to learn, adapt and rapidly iterate on their domain and their mission.

SPEAKER_4 (2:28)

This is the Pentagon is in the midst of Project Meridian, a 120 day initiative announced in early October as a think tank to look into the far future and determine just what technologies and weapons will be needed to maintain the edge over America's enemies. That project and the Fortress Initiative seek to work with civilian contractors to build up these essential goods to maintain the defense of the homeland.

Charlamagne Tha God (2:54)

Every single day, this government finds a way to prove the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan correct. Okay, the minister has been advising people to keep enough non-perishable food stored at home to last anywhere from two to three weeks, okay? Maybe two to six months, even a year. But I digress, back to the matter at hand. Dear Pentagon, I have a question for you. If our government is preparing the military to survive a national catastrophe for 90 days, A, what the hell do y'all know is about to happen that we don't? And B, what's the plan for the American people during those same 90 days? Okay, this bears repeating, all right? According to Fortune, the Pentagon is developing an initiative called Fortress.

Do your Googles. Okay, designed to allow major military bases to operate independently for at least 90 days if the country experiences a major infrastructure failure. We're talking power outages, cyber attacks, water shortages, disrupted supply chains. They're exploring independent power systems, nuclear micro reactors, emergency supplies, everything necessary to keep these bases functioning. I've been on this radio telling y'all that I think what happened in places like Gary, Indiana was a social experiment. Okay, they've been warning us about a national blackout for years. They've been telling us the power grid was vulnerable. So this news doesn't surprise me. So I have no problem with the Pentagon getting the military to be prepared for that. That makes sense. Okay, the United States military should absolutely have a plan for when things go left. But what about everybody else? Okay, what about us citizens of this great country? You know, we the people, okay? Because if the Pentagon is preparing for 90 days without electricity, and water, and outside supplies, clearly somebody believes that a doomsday scenario is serious enough to plan for because it could potentially happen. So what's the plan for the communities surrounding those military bases? Okay, what happens to the elderly? Huh? People on dialysis, folks who depend on refrigerated medication, okay? Families with young kids. And yes, as Minister Farrakhan has been preaching, we need to stockpile 90 days of food and water. But with what money? Okay, have you seen the price of groceries because of your president? All right, I can't afford groceries for the next nine days. Nonetheless, 90, okay? So many Americans can't afford to prepare for next weekend, yet you want us to prepare for the apocalypse.
