In this episode of The Burning Truth with Casey Hendrickson, we dive into arrests of Tennessee migrant workers accused of looting in Hurricane Helene’s aftermath. Tim Walz sparks controversy by flipping off Michigan fans, while MSNBC panelists urge Kamala Harris to take aggressive shots at Trump. Meanwhile, a Democratic mayor faces eviction, a left-wing media literacy campaign raises concerns about brainwashing children, and elite college students struggle with basic reading. We also cover the bipartisan call for Judge Jason Cichowicz’s resignation, CNN’s new pricing disaster, and a spy thriller with an Israeli double agent leading Iran’s anti-Mossad efforts. Plus, Trump scores endorsements from over 200 retired military leaders, and a new AARP poll shows older voters shifting toward him.
Casey Hendrickson Show Recap: DeSantis Slams Harris, Trump Gains Working-Class Support, FEMA Funds Under Scrutiny
Hour 1 Recap:
A Springfield resident captured a shocking moment involving a Haitian migrant in a “pet-friendly” apartment complex. The incident was featured on CNN, raising questions about the situation. Governor Ron DeSantis also made headlines for his sharp critique of Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of lying about a phone call with Milton. DeSantis slammed Harris, stating she has “never contributed anything.” President Biden’s team appeared to distance themselves from the controversy, as Harris was caught lying about the DeSantis call, with many seeing Biden’s reaction as a move to throw her under the bus.
Pastor Lucas Miles led this week’s Tuesday Tithe, a faith-based segment that resonates with many. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the headlines. His support among union and working-class voters has surged, marking the highest approval for a Republican candidate in four decades. The Teamsters Union President added fuel to the fire, candidly telling comedian Theo Von that Democrats have “f**ked us over” for the last 40 years.
Hour 2 Recap:
In business news, McDonald’s is suing Tyson Foods for allegedly manipulating the beef supply chain to raise prices. The lawsuit comes as supply chain issues continue to affect various industries. In a bombshell report, Doug Emhoff, the Second Gentleman, faces claims of misogynistic behavior during his time at a Los Angeles law firm. Former staff accuse Emhoff of hiring a “trophy secretary” and retaliating against women who didn’t engage with his flirtatious behavior.
In disaster relief news, FEMA’s funding has become a hot topic. While Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the agency has no more disaster funds, an IG report contradicted this, revealing that FEMA is sitting on billions of dollars. Following these claims, FEMA’s head clarified that the agency has cash for near-term aid, despite the ongoing debate about its financial health. Meanwhile, an unusual government decision sent electric chainsaws to an Appalachian town still struggling without power.
Hour 3 Recap:
In political news, Pennsylvania scheduled an update to its voter-registration website on the same day as former President Trump’s Butler rally, raising eyebrows among his supporters. In media coverage, CBS claimed that Trump backed out of an interview with 60 Minutes, but his campaign stated that he never agreed to the interview in the first place. Trump later revealed the terms he would accept for appearing on 60 Minutes, challenging the network’s credibility. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris faced another embarrassment as CBS reportedly edited out her fumbling “word salad” response during her interview, further feeding criticism of her performance.
Stay tuned for further developments on these stories and more updates on the latest political drama!
