The show delves into the extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene, including the destruction of homes, roads, and infrastructure. Kelly and Victor Davis Hansen discuss the media's apparent lack of interest in covering the disaster, comparing it to the coverage of Katrina.

He draws parallels to the media's coverage of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and the Katrina disaster.

She argues that Harris's actions demonstrate a lack of empathy and disconnect from the public.
The Federal Response and the Need for Immediate Action

She criticizes Harris's actions, suggesting that her focus on fundraising while people are suffering is insensitive.
Harris's Incompetence and Lack of Experience
Hansen argues that Harris's lack of experience and understanding of real-world issues makes her unfit for the presidency. He suggests that she is unable to empathize with the suffering of ordinary people and lacks the ability to make sound decisions in a crisis. Hansen suggests that Harris's absence from the disaster zone is a calculated political move, driven by a fear of negative media attention. He argues that her appearance would be counterproductive, as it would appear forced and insincere.
