North Carolina.

You just came back from North Carolina.

You had shared quite a bit publicly, but about what was happening there.

You flew in on the ground.

You heard about everything else Tim has going on in the world.

But where I wanted to start was maybe a little bit of the bad before we get to some of the beautiful silver linings you had too, which was, can you tell us what you saw there and what you guys were doing?

That was the case there. These people were

completely isolated. They had their lives, their existence were so dire. It was just like this

you know, they're still isolated areas of western North Carolina and Tennessee that are, you know, this is a biblical,

Raleigh and into Charlotte to pick up more body bags. And of course, none of this

is reported because it's an election year. The number of missing is still in the hundreds. And

again, not being reported. And then in addition to no one's coming to save you, I, in the first few days, we are in direct

conflict with the people that are supposed to come and help you.
