1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk about two different things. The

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,159
Speaker 1: first part of your question, and that is an an investigation.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: We know where special sessions coming and about ten days.

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: That's where I would say word begins, ken Ley. Those

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: investigations will begin by both the House and Centate before

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: we go into session, so probably beginning later this week

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: or the early part of the next week. Those big

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: committees formed that are already kind of working on ideas

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: about ways to address this second party question needs to

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: be addressed. You ask, and I'm going to use your words,

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: who's to blame?

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: Know this?

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: That's the word choice of losers. Let me explain one

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: thing about Texas, and that is Texas. Every square inch

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: of our state cares about football. You could be in Hunt, Texas, Huntsville, Texas, Houston, Texas,

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: any size community they care about football, high school, Friday

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: night lights, college football, or pro and know this. Every

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: football team makes mistakes. The losing teams are the ones

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: that try to point out who's to blame. The championship

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: teams are the ones that say, don't worry about it, man,

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: we got this. We're gonna make sure that we go

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: score again, that we're going to win this game. The

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: way winners talk is not to put fingers. They talk

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: about solutions. What Texas is all about is solutions. In fact,

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: I want to read you something that I received last

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: night that's worth emphasizing to put this in context. Tragedy

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: has come, that part is done. What we do now,

28
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: who we are now, that's what the story is still

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: being written. Let it be one of grace, of grit,

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: of fierce love and the face of grief. Let it

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: be the kind of story that proves that the Hill

32
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Country may flood, but it does not fail.

33
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Say what you will about Texas, but.

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: When the rivers rise, so do we not with blame,

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: not with bitterness, but with boots on the ground, arms

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: around strangers, and hearts wide open. That's the Texas I know,

37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: and that's the America that I believe in. Well, this

38
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: person wrote is what I know is true for all

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Texas and what we will achieve every single day.

40
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: Legislation to see the special sushi.

41
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: You know.

42
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 4: Part of the legislative process is policy.

43
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: Is not made in a vacuum. We have ideas.

44
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 4: I've served on two investigatory committees out of the House

45
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: before I was Speaker, both Uvality and Panhandle wildfires. There

46
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: are things and things that we can talk about, but

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: it is too early to commit to know the specifics

48
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: until we actually talk to the members of the community

49
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 4: and hear what they think. Talk to the experts in

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: the field, talk to the first responders. That's what legislative

51
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: hearings are for. We are ready to get started the legislators.

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: I talk to the members of the House and I

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: know the Senate are very interested in finding solutions to

54
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 4: not accept that we can't do better. But we will

55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: have those hearings, we will synthesize what we get, and

56
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: we will come up with legislation that I believe will

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 4: make it to the Governor's desk and make us a stronger, better,

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: more resilient Texas well.

59
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: So one thing that we're focused on is making sure

60
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: that we deliver the right solutions. One thing the Speaker

61
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: just said that's worth emphasizing, and that is that for

62
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: us to provide real solutions, we actually need to hear

63
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: from the people who are the ones most affected. The

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: ones most affected, they're dealing with the grievance of having

65
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: lost a child, or lost a business, or otherwise have

66
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: their lives turn upside down. They don't have the capability

67
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: right now providing that information. We'll talk to local leaders importantly,

68
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: not just here but across the state, and we want

69
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that we address what happened here. But

70
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, we want to make sure that

71
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: we are able to implement measures that are going to

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: be able to prevent loss in other regions going forward.

73
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: So we ever work out out for us, but I

74
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: know the members of the House and members of the Senate,

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: I know we'll work and get some meaningful things done.

76
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: So again, focus is and on trying to say, oh,

77
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: you did wrong or you should have done better. There.

78
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: My job is to bring Texas and Texans together and

79
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: make sure that we immediately start delivering on solutions. You

80
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: talk about the heroic effort, and no one has seen

81
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: the level of response as what Texas has provided over

82
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: the past four days or so. And we continue to

83
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: maintain that response here while also going to the state

84
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: capital and working on around the clock responses there to

85
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: make sure that we do deliver real solutions for these

86
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: people sitting right behind you. Sure, so your questions about

87
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: what local officials knew, you'd have to ask them, Well,

88
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the state was aware of the state was aware that

89
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: there was a possible serious flooding event days in advance,

90
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: and we prepositioned assets and resources and personnel.

91
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: And remember the flood began on Friday morning.

92
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: That we originally positioned those assets, resources of personnel on Wednesday,

93
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: than when greater clarity was discerned on Thursday, we moved

94
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: them closer, added and made sure that we had adequate

95
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: supply going into Friday, so we were ready with the

96
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: resources on the ground to be able to quickly response.

97
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: Some people say, well, we responded so fast. One reason

98
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: we did respond fast is because we had assets here already.

99
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: That said, we didn't know the magnitude of the storm.

100
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: We knew that there was a flash flood warning, and

101
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: if you were a flash flood warning, no one would

102
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: know that that would be a thirty foot high tsunami

103
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: wall of water. I don't think, but all I can

104
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: tell you is what the information we had, the state had,

105
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: and that we acted on, was information that catalyzed us

106
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: to begin putting assets and resources in place two days

107
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: before the event happened.

108
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: I love thee yep.

109
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,240

Speaker 2: But let me say this. You know, people talk about

218
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: how strong Texas is.

219
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: People talk about how strong Texes Is is because of

220
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: people like you, people who don't wait around for orders

221
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: and instructions. Yeah, I started liking not just you, but

222
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: like you. We saw the exact same response in Hurricane Harvey.

223
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: People didn't wait for a boss to tell them what

224
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: to do. There was no time clock to check in

225
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: or check out.

226
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

227
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: They said they're getting getting out their own canoe, their

228
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: own kayak, and they're going to start helping neighbors before

229
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the sun rose.

230
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: Up until after the sun set.

231
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: But all I wanted to let you know is the

232
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: spirit that lies within your heart and use the word

233
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: blood in your bloodstream you have in your blood?

234
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: What Texas is all about?

235
00:16:32,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 16: And this is a press conference. It's kind of evolved

236
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 16: into a I think some accusations are some personal thoughts

237
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 16: of it. Looks like somebody involved went on for about

238
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 16: ten or twelve minutes seeing it and all just cut

239
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 16: away from it. We're following it. Let's cut back. Please, okay,

240
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 16: don't need me, guys, Please keep the camera where it is.

241
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: Thank you.

242
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 16: There we go, There we go. I think we got sound.

243
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 16: Let's cut into it.

244
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: They're moving the camera.

245
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 16: I'd rather have movement than looking at me. Let's get

246
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 16: over there. Say we get sound. Okay, folks. The biggest

247
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 16: reveal today we got a pack show. But the biggest

248
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 16: reveal I think a few minutes ago is that they

249
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 16: have now said the missing is one hundred and sixty one.

250
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 16: This was Ben Berkwan. I gotta give a hat tip

251
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 16: to Ben Burkwan's question the other day how many missing?

252
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 16: Is it dozens? And you haven't put a number up?

253
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 16: Is it dozens or hundreds? And the guy remember answered

254
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 16: a lot. Didn't take the dozens. And now you know

255
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 16: why one hundred and sixty one. They're also from the

256
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 16: morning's press conference, there has not been a rescue of

257
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 16: a living human being since Friday. And I think he

258
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 16: said Friday afternoon. Which is it hit at what four

259
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 16: o'clock in the morning or three thirty four o'clock, four

260
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 16: to thirty in the morning. Governor Abbott looks like they

261
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 16: may be praying over there. He wheeled over after taking

262
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 16: it sounded like an onslaught of I don't know if

263
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 16: accusations or information or point of view from a woman

264
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 16: in the crowd. That sounds like she's either a victim

265
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 16: or knows the victims, or somehow was talking about the

266
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 16: community and Governor Abbott eventually decided to go over and

267
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 16: actually mingle with the crowd. He's got the kind of

268
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 16: head of the of some of the leadership of the

269
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 16: Texas Department. It looks like from this there's a lot

270
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 16: more involvement in the state. I think taking control of

271
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 16: it's going to be a recovery effort. Looks like a

272
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 16: lot more input from the state. This was supposed to

273
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 16: take place at six o'clock our time. In fact, we

274
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 16: had the whole show wrapped around doing that. We're going

275
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 16: to continue with this picture. Let's bring in. Let's bring

276
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 16: in our is Dave Bratt with me. Dave Brett joins

277
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 16: me my co host for today for a little while.

278
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 16: Natalie's going to join me in a little while to

279
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 16: take over the duty as co host. Dave Bratt, your assessment,

280
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 16: you're you were a professional politician. How do you think

281
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 16: Governor Abbott handled that looked like an onslaught sir.

282
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, speaking as a politician, I went to seminary,

283
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 17: you know, thirty years ago, and you know there's a

284
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 17: time for rational analysis that today's not that time. It's

285
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 17: it's time for pastoral care and to love the folks

286
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 17: and to listen Uh, and to be at the bedside

287
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 17: and in the short term, I mean, the devastation is huge,

288
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 17: the families are torn apart.

289
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 6: Uh.

290
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 17: The woman speaking was sharing her heart and so you know,

291
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 17: he was just listening, and that's you know, that's what

292
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 17: you should do. There's there's plenty of time for analysis

293
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 17: of all the public policy is just coming out. It's

294
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 17: it's too bad people are taking pot shots in the

295
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 17: short run already immediately after this, and you know, people

296
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 17: can make their analysis of who the fair players are.

297
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 17: But it looked to me like he was just intently listening.

298
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 17: And it looks like he's got you know, people of

299
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 17: compassion around him praying afterwards. And uh, you know, so

300
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 17: that that it's the toughest job in the world on

301
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 17: a day like that. There's great days in politics when

302
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 17: things are going right, and then there's the toughest days

303
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 17: in the world. And he's in the middle of that.

304
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 16: One of the women in the crowd or a reporter

305
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 16: I think not a woman crowds of who is to

306
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 16: play and he said, look, we're not we're not going.

307
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: To go there.

308
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 16: We're going to do on a complete assessment later. Now

309
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 16: now is the time to actually Uh, there's the governor.

310
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 16: Let's go back to Governor rabbit.

311
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: Uh, NIM could best ask that, Nim when when Wednesday

312
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: and Thursday before the Friday morning.

313
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 18: I can't answer the wise. I'm not gonna answer the

314
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 18: wise you asked. When we were in contact. We started

315
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 18: having calls and messages on Wednesday from an area of

316
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 18: I thirty five out I ten, all the way to

317
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 18: where it touches I twenty, all the way back over

318
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 18: to where I twenty touches I thirty five. Again, that

319
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 18: is a large chunk of Texas that was anywhere in

320
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 18: the potential area of where this kind of rain.

321
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: Could have fallen. It picked this spot right here.

322
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: All right, one more question, go ahead, Yeah, how's it go?

323
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: The man who's in charge of that assistance, chief m Kid.

324
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: She wants to know how long does it take to

325
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: get assistance?

326
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: How long does it take to get assistance?

327
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 18: So the disaster recovery centers will be published in the

328
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 18: morning of those locations. They can go to those locations

329
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 18: and start getting aid. There are plenty of volunteers that

330
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 18: are out there ready to offer aid right now in

331
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 18: addition to the federal assistance.

332
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: So you're saying that those centers will be open tomorrow morning.

333
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 18: Yes, sir, soft we have the addresses. I need to

334
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 18: confirm them and then we'll put them out. They will

335
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 18: be publicized. They will be publicized, yes, ma'am, thank you all.

336
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 16: Okay, right there, the governor and I don't think there's

337
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 16: going to be a six o'clock press conference. I think

338
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 16: they just started early, the governor stepping in and handling

339
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 16: it today. The big news, I think we're going to

340
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 16: count here. But the big news is that they have

341
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 16: announced a number that they haven't had before of a

342
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 16: missing of one hundred and sixty one folks still down

343
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 16: in this area. Do we have Augustus as he's up,

344
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 16: let me go. I've got Augustus de Rico, CEO of Rainmaker. Augustus,

345
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 16: can you walk through, because there's been some controversy about

346
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 16: seating and geoengineering, can you take a minute and walk

347
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 16: through just what your company is, what it does, and

348
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 16: what have you been doing for the state of Texas.

349
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 16: I take it by you've beenentertained. I take it by localities,

350
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 16: local governments, individual agriculture businesses to do something about the

351
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 16: lack of rain down there.

352
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 19: Sure, yeah, well, thank you for having me on for one.

353
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 19: My heart and prayers are with everybody affected in Texas

354
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 19: and the entire state. I'm going to be down there

355
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 19: tomorrow trying to help as i can. I run a

356
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 19: company called Rainmaker that conducts cloud seating to make it

357
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 19: rain more for farms, for ecosystem restoration, for residential reservoirs

358
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 19: when they're suffering from drought, and we work with municipalities

359
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 19: and farmers throughout Texas to when there is a drought

360
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 19: or there isn't enough water, make it rain more. We

361
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 19: unequivocally had nothing to do with the flooding that was

362
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 19: caused by the remnants of the tropical storm that blew

363
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 19: in and our biggest cloud seating missions to date have

364
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 19: only produced ten million gallons of precipitation approximately, and that

365
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 19: tropical storm dumped about four trillion over the course of

366
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 19: two days. So the order of magnitude difference between what

367
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 19: cloud seating is even capable of and what happened is incomparable.

368
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 19: And again, I truly am heartbroken about what has happened,

369
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 19: but want to make it abundantly clear that cloud seating

370
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 19: was not involved in any capacity and it's a technology

371
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 19: that is used to help farmers when there isn't enough water.

372
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 16: Let me ask you to repeat that. Four tree and

373
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 16: you're saying four tree and gallons was dumped on that time.

374
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 16: I think they said ten inches in the Oh no,

375
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 16: excuse me, the river rose twenty six fe in forty

376
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 16: five minutes. I guess you're saying, in the entire time

377
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 16: of this storm that hit, there was over four tree

378
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 16: and gallons of water that was dumped onto the locale. Correct.

379
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 19: Yeah.

380
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 16: And cloud seeing is cloud seeing? Is that small?

381
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: What is?

382
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 16: What's the purpose? What a farmer they're they're doing it

383
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 16: when they're that desperate, when when there's been like a

384
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 16: drought for a while.

385
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, they'll they'll cloud seed either to try to

386
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 19: fill up aqua first preemptively or when there is a drought.

387
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 19: They not only use it for aquafer recharge in farming

388
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 19: in Texas, but municipalities throughout Utah and Idaho also use it.

389
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 19: This technology was invented in the United States in the

390
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 19: nineteen forties, and only because of recent advents in radar

391
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 19: technology are we able to measure exactly what the results

392
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 19: from it are. And that's what Rainmaker has been doing

393
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 19: for the state of Texas and other states about the country.

394
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 19: It's also worth noting quickly that the Texas Department of

395
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 19: Licensing and Regulation has criteria to author rise cloud seating

396
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 19: operations in the state, where one you have to have

397
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 19: an approved concept of operations, improved materials, and also you

398
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 19: have to have what are called suspension criteria, meaning if

399
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 19: ever there is a risk of flooding, if reservoirs village

400
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 19: is a risk, then you have to stop operating. And

401
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 19: a day before there was any flash flood warning, our

402
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 19: meteorologist proactively suspended operations before even that regulatory threshold from

403
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 19: the state of Texas. So again, all of our operations

404
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 19: were well within bounds from the state regulations and also

405
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 19: had nothing to do with the flooding.

406
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 16: There is the aquifer situation. I hear in Texas, Oklahoma

407
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 16: and other places and maybe even Arizona are kind of

408
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 16: in a crisis. At least they were a couple of

409
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 16: years ago that droughts, different droughts have been so bad

410
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 16: that the aquifers were most of the water is obviously

411
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 16: people use in the store in the wells because of

412
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 16: real estate development and expansion. Is that one of the

413
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 16: issues here? Why your service is used.

414
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, exactly. The aquifers, namely the Ogalala in Texas

415
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 19: are radically drawn down. The Colorado River is very much

416
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 19: over allocated, and so now cities like Phoenix, Arizona are

417
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 19: turning off water to residences periodically because they just don't

418
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 19: have enough. Farms Throughout Utah, Texas, New Mexico, et cetera

419
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 19: are actually being paid by the state to not farm

420
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 19: because the state doesn't want them to consume the water.

421
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 19: And so rain makers mission is when there is need

422
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 19: for water to produce it to stop the collapse of

423
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 19: the American West, not just our environments, but also our

424
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 19: agricultural interests, and also to enable the growth or at

425
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 19: least maintain the population of all of these Western cities

426
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 19: and states.

427
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 16: We said, the collapse of the West too. I take

428
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 16: it might understand these fairly rudimentary, but agriculture is still

429
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 16: right now the least efficient use of water. It's not

430
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 16: that we don't need agriculture.

431
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 6: We do.

432
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 16: But when we look at industrial we look at home.

433
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 16: That is it agriculture that's considered the least inefficient. How

434
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 16: the agriculture community uses it.

435
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 19: You know, agriculture far and away is the biggest consumer

436
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 19: of water, and that's absolutely true. Over time, they've become

437
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 19: more efficient. I think that with things like drip irrigation,

438
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 19: it's gotten a lot better. But I don't think that

439
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 19: it's appropriate to think that, you know, agriculture is to

440
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 19: blame for water scarcity in the American West, right, Like,

441
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 19: I am in favor of more American farms and more growing,

442
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 19: and I think that we should have an abundance mindset

443
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 19: and consider cloud seating insofar as it is safely regulated

444
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 19: and not just anybody can do it. I think the

445
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 19: cloud seating is one way to facilitate more abundant farming

446
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 19: and more abundant cities in drought ridden areas of the world.

447
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 19: And also it's worth noting that it's not just the

448
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 19: United States and it's not just rain Maker that does this.

449
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 19: I think it's in America's interest to continue doing it

450
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 19: because other states around the world, like China, invests one

451
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 19: point four billion dollars a year into their program to

452
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 19: produce more water for their farms, for their hydro electric

453
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 19: to resupply their reservoirs. And if we don't do it,

454
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 19: then not only will the United States not have the

455
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 19: capacity for it, but China will have the biggest program

456
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 19: in the world by orders of magnitude.

457
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 16: If China is one point four billion, what's the equivalent

458
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 16: of the US what's our total?

459
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 19: Roughly, the United States federal government spent two point four billion,

460
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 19: two point four million dollars. Excuse me, last year on

461
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 19: cloud seeting.

462
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 16: On the closs, you said during the evolution itself, you

463
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 16: guys you have a regulatory apparatus of what it tells

464
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 16: you can do and monitors that you said, you guys

465
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 16: voluntarily took down and stopped because I think you were

466
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 16: cloud seeting on the second of July, right, you took

467
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 16: it down and didn't do it on the third. That's

468
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 16: when the storm hit that night. I guess overnight no

469
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 16: one in the regulatory apparatus came to Because one of

470
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 16: the questions people have, and you can see it right

471
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 16: there with the governor, what is the regulatory you know,

472
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 16: chain of for this apparatus. You got National Weather Service,

473
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 16: but you also have local you got state who's in charge?

474
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 16: Who is kind of watching it? I mean, did anybody

475
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 16: come to you or did you guys just voluntarily say

476
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 16: this looks like it could be bad, No need to

477
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 16: no need to continue a cloud seat.

478
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, so Rainmaker acted proactively in suspended operations before the

479
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 19: National Weather Service issued any warnings that would have constituted

480
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 19: suspension criteria per the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations statutes.

481
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 19: Now that being said, I think that there ought to

482
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 19: be more regulation on cloud seating to ensure that it's

483
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 19: done safely. I think that there should be way more

484
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 19: transparency in the industry, and I'm actively trying to both

485
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 19: on x right now and on platforms like yours. And

486
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 19: thank you again for having me advocate for more regulations

487
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 19: so that people do know what's going on and so

488
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 19: that people can trust that it's being done safely.

489
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 16: Well that you know people obviously that you got the

490
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 16: natural process. And then once people say we're going to

491
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 16: use technology, what is it either about your competitors the

492
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 16: industry overall that you're concerned about, either processes that you're

493
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 16: concerned about and or transparency. What are you pushing for

494
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 16: that certain processes you shouldn't be done in cloud seating

495
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 16: or there should be more transparency about how everybody does this.

496
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 19: So yeah, I think there absolutely should be more transparency

497
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 19: and one way in which we could do that is

498
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 19: expand upon the Weather Modification Reporting Act of nineteen seventy two.

499
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 19: So right now, if you want to conduct a cloud

500
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 19: seating operation, the only federal oversight for it is a

501
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 19: notification to Noah that you're going to conduct weather modification,

502
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 19: and then also a report on what your operations consisted of.

503
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 19: But I think there needs to be much more rigorous

504
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 19: analysis of the effect of cloud seating from Noah or

505
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 19: some institution like the Beerau of Reclamation, which is responsible

506
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 19: for water in the West, because there should be accountability

507
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 19: and a manner by which people can scrutinize what the

508
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 19: effects have been. Right now, there's no process like that

509
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 19: in the federal governments to enable scrutiny and oversight, and

510
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 19: if there was, I think people would rightfully feel more

511
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 19: trusting of it.

512
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 16: Let me go back just the term weather modification. You

513
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 16: have this issue of transhumanism, and you have a different

514
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 16: technologies artificial general intelligence, regenitive robotics, quantum computing, crisper. All

515
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 16: these things say people are saying what we're heading towards

516
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 16: a point called the singularity, and that's kind of man

517
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 16: taking an active role in what heretofore has been a

518
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 16: natural process. And clearly there's big advantages, it's huge, great

519
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 16: things of AI, but there's also downside. The same with

520
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 16: chipping people. There's moral questions, ethical questions as someone that's

521
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 16: dedicated his life not just to the industry, but then

522
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 16: to go out to investors and say, hey, this is

523
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 16: a smart thing to do, we need to do this.

524
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 16: Do you have qualms or is there issues when you

525
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 16: talk about weather modification, like, for instance, why should the

526
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 16: weather be why should you have modifications? It's just the weather.

527
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 16: Just let it just let it have happened.

528
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 19: Totally here where you're coming from. Do you remember that

529
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 19: Ross to Fat Peter Teel interview that blew up recently

530
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 19: where Ross asked him like, do you believe that the

531
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 19: human race, the race, the human race, should persist? And

532
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 19: Peter paused and waited to respond to that.

533
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, I do. But you know, Peter's got a deep

534
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 16: moral compass on certain things, other things like particularly innocracy.

535
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 16: We don't totally agree.

536
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 6: That.

537
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 16: Is that your Is that your pause? Is this your

538
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 16: pregnant pause?

539
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: No, not not at all.

540
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 19: I want to say on equivocally, I'm interested in the

541
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 19: persistence of humanity, and not only that, you know, I

542
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 19: am a Christian. I was lucky enough to be saved

543
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 19: when I was twenty years old while I was living

544
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 19: in Fort Worth. I didn't grow up Christian. I grew

545
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 19: up an atheist. But the guiding principle at Rainmaker is stewardship.

546
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 19: Right in Genesis one twenty six through twenty eight and

547
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 19: then also throughout the Psalms. One of the very first

548
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 19: commandments that God ever gave us in the garden of

549
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 19: Eden before the fall was to take dominion and steward

550
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 19: the earth that sees the skies and everything therein. And

551
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 19: so I think that there is a aspect of human

552
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 19: nature which is both inclined to and responsible to, responsible

553
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 19: for making nature, or rather working with nature to steward

554
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 19: it for our interest and creations itself, to honor God.

555
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 19: And so I think, not only is it something good

556
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 19: to do, is cloud seating something good to do because

557
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 19: it can help us produce water for farms in need.

558
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 19: But as long as there are droughts, as long as

559
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 19: there is severe weather, as long as there is hail,

560
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 19: it does damage. And we have the technology to manage

561
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 19: it to mitigate the damage done by it. If we're

562
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 19: not deploying it then we're actually abdicating our responsibility to

563
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 19: God to steward the creation that He gave us. And

564
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 19: that's the perspective that I have as a Christian when

565
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 19: I think about whether modification and whether we should be

566
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 19: doing it.

567
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 16: I'm more of a New Testament guy. So in the

568
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 16: New Testament in Mark, I think it's thirteen, when the

569
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 16: disciples and apostles come back. Crisis sent them out to

570
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 16: teach and to heal, and they come back and they say, hey,

571
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 16: we've healed these people. We've done this. And he says, well,

572
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 16: that sounds great. He says no. They say it comes

573
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 16: from Beelz above and that your power comes from that.

574
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 16: And he makes a comment to me said, there's only

575
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 16: one unforgivable sin, and that is the blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

576
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 16: There's only one mortal sin, and that is to basically,

577
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 16: you know, blaspheme the Holy Spirit. People would say, the

578
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 16: Holy Spirit is what enervates, is what the energy of

579
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 16: the spirit that came through Christ, you know, from the

580
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 16: time he was baptized by John the Baptist, and that

581
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 16: that's the guide and principle. We talked about this and

582
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 16: transhumanists would that make you rethink it if you felt

583
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 16: you were going against the tenets of the Holy Spirit

584
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 16: and how the Holy Spirit works through the world and

585
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 16: particularly the natural world.

586
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 19: If if someone were to present to me theological arguments

587
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 19: as to why this was not in God's interest or

588
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 19: why this was wrong and blaspheming goddence of manner, I

589
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 19: would stop immediately. I would shut the doors of my company.

590
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 19: I would want to participate in that in no way

591
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 19: right Like, I'm very concerned with heaven and hell and

592
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 19: living a life that is to the extent possible without sin,

593
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 19: and so you know, I'm always open to discourse about it.

594
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 19: I haven't yet been convinced that it's against God's interests

595
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 19: to try to make creation better. But I also think

596
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 19: the Tower of Babel is a story we should consider

597
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 19: very seriously and cautiously. Right, whenever man is inclined to

598
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 19: make himself God or make himself too much like God

599
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 19: without the humility that we're supposed to have, there can

600
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 19: be bad outcomes. And so I try to manage this

601
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 19: company in this technology very prayerfully, and that's why I proactively,

602
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 19: as a business owner, am advocating for more regulation on

603
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 19: the technology in the industry, so that we can ensure

604
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 19: it's done safely, and so that we can ensure it's

605
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 19: done in the interests of both our country, are farmers

606
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 19: in our country, God and all of His creation.

607
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 16: You have control of your company. Are you certain there

608
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 16: weren't other people cloud seating, particularly some of maybe these

609
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 16: methods that you question or with lack of transparency, do

610
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 16: you think anybody, because here's what happened. You had this

611
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 16: horrific thing on Friday, July fourth in the Hill Country

612
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 16: of Texas.

613
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: Then on.

614
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 16: Sunday down in Southern Pines, North Carolina, Pinehurst and all

615
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 16: the way up to Chapel Hill. You really had a

616
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 16: biblical In fact, people in the Southern Pines Pinehurst area

617
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 16: and central North Carolina was saying people have been there

618
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 16: for thirty years, had never seen rain like this. It

619
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 16: just seems odd that within forty eight hours, right, and

620
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 16: we don't believe in coincidence here you had these two

621
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 16: kind of biblical, biblical downpourings. Do you think in any

622
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 16: way could be associated with people doing geo engineering.

623
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 19: Of as yet not seen any evidence to suggest that

624
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 19: any flooding in North Carolina or again Texas had to

625
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 19: do with cloud seating or geoengineering. Now that said, I

626
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 19: think that if we as a country, be it through Noah,

627
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 19: the National Weather Service, private institutions, or otherwise have a

628
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 19: better forecasting capacity, if we invest in researching the atmosphere

629
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 19: more so that we can forecast farther into the future

630
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 19: warn people sooner, then we'll be able to alert people

631
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 19: at the very least of these impending calamities and then

632
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 19: potentially mitigate them in the future. Now that being said

633
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 19: as well, there should be more federal oversight, absolutely, because

634
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 19: if there is something going on that is nefarious or

635
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 19: that's just grossly negligent, it should stop and be held

636
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 19: to account. And again, a lot of people, maybe my

637
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 19: lawyers would scrutinize me for saying that people contributing to

638
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 19: calamities like this should be held to account, But I

639
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 19: earnestly believe that, and I'm willing to say it because

640
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 19: I know that rain Maker and to my knowledge, no

641
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 19: other cloud seating companies are responsible for those floods.

642
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 16: Last question, since you mentioned the lawyers, you saw the

643
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 16: raw emotion that you were here, we had you up.

644
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 16: You saw the raw emotion with Governor Abbott, and it

645
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 16: happened earlier today in the in the other press conference,

646
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 16: and people, you know, because look it's been since Friday morning.

647
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 16: People are tired that this is this is a horrific

648
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 16: not just event, but the recovery process is horrific. I mean,

649
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 16: do you worry that as this thing goes investigations and

650
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 16: lawsuits are that everything that you wanted to do and

651
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 16: felt you were doing altruistically for the betterment of mankind

652
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 16: you may end up in you know, depositions and hearings, commissions,

653
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 16: all of it as they try to get to and

654
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 16: as you know, they're bad actors. In fact, they said

655
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 16: the other day and one of the press conferences, they're

656
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 16: not giving the names of the victims, particularly the little

657
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 16: girls at Mystic because and this is one of the

658
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 16: director are operations said people were actually calling the parents

659
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 16: and saying, I have your child here, but you guys

660
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 16: send me you got to wire me money, or people

661
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 16: were saying I've had a vision or I'm a mystic

662
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 16: and I can tell you exactly where they're calling out

663
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 16: for you. Horrific things like this that no parent should

664
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 16: have visited on them. So my point is there's demonic

665
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 16: people out there. They're bad actors out there, are you

666
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 16: concerned that everything you've tried to do altruistically for the

667
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 16: betterment of mankind in your view, may turn out to

668
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 16: be something that just keeps you tied up for years

669
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 16: walking through the events of July second, third, fourth of

670
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 16: twenty twenty five.

671
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 19: Yeah, I can't imagine what the people of Texas are feeling,

672
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 19: particularly the parents and those that lost family members or

673
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 19: friends in the floods, And so I'm sympathetic. Obviously again

674
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 19: still can't understand, but I'm sympathetic to how emotions are

675
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 19: running high right now, how people are looking for escapegoat

676
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 19: or someone to blame of that, I'm understanding. And again,

677
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 19: even though we didn't have anything to do with it,

678
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 19: I understand where people might be coming from in this moment,

679
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 19: and I'm trying to transparently and honestly and quickly answer

680
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 19: as many questions from the public as I can about

681
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 19: this now. That said, it would be a tragedy as

682
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 19: well if farmers and people were deprived of water that

683
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 19: they could have otherwise from cloud seating, because people want

684
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 19: to capitalize politically on this tragedy to rally their base

685
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 19: around some sort of legislation or investigation that would ban

686
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 19: cloud seating entirely. And so, even though I think that

687
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 19: that would be a bad outcome, I trust in the

688
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 19: United States, in people's ability to scrutinize evidence. I trust

689
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 19: in probably not our government writ large, but in the

690
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 19: best possible outcome over the course of time. And so

691
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 19: though there is a lot of controversy about this right now,

692
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 19: though I think some people are trying to politically capitalize

693
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 19: on the tragedy with unfounded claims acusations, I think that

694
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 19: the truth will always come to light, and that cloud

695
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 19: seating will be technology that we can use cautiously and

696
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 19: for the benefit of all any kind.

697
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 16: Last thing, Tuesday, eight of July, in the Year of

698
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 16: a Lord, twenty twenty five, at five point forty in

699
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 16: the evening, you still believe in your heart and in

700
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 16: your soul the weather modification and geoengineering are are something

701
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 16: that we should pursue as a country.

702
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 19: Weather modification and cloud seating, Yes, and my heart and

703
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 19: my soul, I do geoengineering. Dimming the sun. Things with

704
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 19: global climatic implications I think deserve a lot more caution

705
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 19: and scrutiny because we don't have eighty years of data

706
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 19: on what their effects would be. But cloud seating itself, Yes,

707
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 19: in my heart and in my soul. Absolutely.

708
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 16: Augustus DERICKI thank you so much for coming on. Where

709
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 16: do people follow you? I know you want to get

710
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 16: your message out. The best way to do that obviously

711
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 16: social media and coming on shows like this. Where do

712
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 16: people follow you, sir? And where do they go? I

Speaker 19: So where they go, sure they can go to rain

00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 19: O r ic Ko.

719
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 16: Augustusto Rico, thank you very much for joining us in

720
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 16: the WOROM on a very intense afternoon. Thank you, sir,

721
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 16: Thank you so much. Do I have Natalie? We had

722
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 16: to change shift because Dave Brad's going to do the

723
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 16: Matt Gates Show, and okay, we'll get Natalie up in

724
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 16: a second. Do I have Philip Patrick. We're kind of

725
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 16: juggling here because we took a long for the Abbott conference,

726
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 16: but I thought it was very a lustrative of the

727
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 16: raw emotions that are now starting to come to the surface.

728
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 16: Philip Patrick joins us from Rio Philip, you brought me

729
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 16: a long memo this afternoon. Why don't you we got

730
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 16: some time. Why don't you you break it down as

731
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 16: we leave here? You know, you leave the conference Balsonar.

732
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 16: President Trump threw down hard on bolscenario yesterday. But the

733
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 16: political situation, the law fer situation, Lula's at the center

734
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 16: of this, although it's the judge Mauricis that's doing it.

735
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 16: But tell me about his handling of the of the

736
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 16: Bricks conference and your thoughts as you get ready to

737
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 16: leave where we are are on all this?

738
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean last time, I think it was Monday, Monday,

739
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 20: I was on last and we were talking about how

740
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 20: the entire conference at that point was covert, right, it

741
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 20: was de dollarization without mentioning the dollar explicitly. It was

742
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 20: trade security without talking about tariffs. And then I think

743
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 20: it was an hour after after our last interview, everything changed, right, Obviously,

744
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 20: President Trump came out overnight and posted a warning to

745
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 20: bricks nations ten percent tariffs on any nation if they

746
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 20: continue to bypass the dollar. And Lula's response was swift

747
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 20: and it was unusually direct, I would say, but the

748
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 20: verbiage was was interesting. He said that President Trump's message

749
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 20: was very mistaken and irresponsible, and then he went on

750
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 20: to say, and I thought this was telling. He said, look,

751
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 20: the world has changed. We don't want an emperor. We

752
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 20: are sovereign countries. And he said there is no going back.

753
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 20: Reducing dependence on the dollar will happen step by step

754
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 20: until it's consolidated.

755
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 17: So what was.

756
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 20: Perhaps covert before is now in the open. The bricks

757
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 20: have made their intentions clear, and they sort of brought

758
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 20: it to the forefront. And we've been seeing it China

759
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 20: and Russia striking deals in yuan and rubles, Brazil and

760
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 20: Venezuela bypassing the dollar for regional commerce. So it's happening,

761
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 20: and it's at the forefront. You know the message I

762
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 20: send you. I spent a lot of time thinking last night,

763
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 20: what do we do about this? How do we fix

764
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 20: the situation? And I think the answer is not to panic,

765
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 20: but rather to prepare. Right, we have to remember the

766
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 20: dollar remains the global reserve currency for a reason, right,

767
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 20: and that is trust, its depth, its credibility. What we've

768
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 20: been seeing out here is that trust is eroding, not

769
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 20: just because of our rivals, but because of what we've

770
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 20: done domestically as well. Right, so, in terms of a plan,

771
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 20: I don't know how much time I have here, Steve,

772
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 20: so sort of hang on.

773
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 16: You're going to have all the time. This this is

774
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 16: incredibly important. We're gonna take a short commercial break and

775
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 16: bring you back. We don't have to cover. We're trying

776
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 16: to get you in before the press conference is going

777
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 16: to take place in Curveville, but the government stepped up

778
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 16: and did one that took place earlier, so we got

779
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 16: the six o'clock hour. Philip Patrick is with us from Rio.

780
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 16: Folks a very big deal down there, and they kind

781
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 16: of laid their cards on the table. It ain't going

782
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 16: to happen overnight, but they're saying it's going to happen

783
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 16: the end of the dollar empire, according to them. Philip Patrick. Next,

00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 16: your host, Stephen K.

00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 5: Bath.

788
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 16: Okay, Philip Patrick is going to stick with us and

789
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 16: into the six o'clock hour. Natalie's also here. We're gonna

790
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 16: get her comments on the on the rain Maker situation.

791
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 16: I want to go to Joe Lavernia. Now over at

792
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 16: Treasury Council, Special Council to the Secretary Treasury. You've had

793
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 16: the tariff situation, President Trump. You know, you had this

794
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 16: two and a half hour I think, cabinet meeting today,

795
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 16: the whole cabinet meeting. Most of it has done publicly.

796
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 16: President Trump's talking about tariffs. We got we got letters

797
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 16: going out to Korea, south to Japan. You guys, now

798
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 16: a Treasury are executing on the big beautiful bill. Right

799
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 16: the task goots all the the industrial side of it,

800
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 16: for the supply side. Where is where are the tariffs

801
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 16: fit into this entire strategy, sir? Because I think there's

802
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 16: a little confuting, But look, we love tariff's where the

803
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 16: tariff guys, we'd love it what President Trump's doing. But

804
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 16: we're little is it?

805
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 21: Yeah, sure, steve it, So thank you again. It's a

806
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 21: very integrated, holistic approach. So the tariffs are used as

807
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 21: an incentive to bring capital and moneys back to the US.

808
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 21: And as you know from all the deals that have

809
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 21: been announced all over the world, there's trillions of dollars

810
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 21: that are coming in. So the tariffs are incentive to

811
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 21: get capital to the US. But when you bring the

812
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 21: capital to the us. You're also going to benefit from

813
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 21: low corporate rates, cheap and abundant.

814
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 22: Energy, and very pro growth tax policy.

815
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 21: So everything kind of works works together, and that's how

816
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 21: you're going to reindustrialize.

817
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 22: On the tariffs, what we could say are two things

818
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 22: very important.

819
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 21: Number one, Steve, we could raise upwards of three hundred billion.

820
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 21: I mean, the numbers keep going up every month, like

821
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 21: to run the third week of the month. You get

822
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 21: the customs payment that tends to be the biggest, so

823
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 21: we're ratcheting higher. I mean, we may have three hundred

824
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 21: billion in calendar year revenues this year, which is massive.

825
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 21: CBO has scored potentially getting two point eight trillion over

826
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 21: the next ten years.

827
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 22: That's not part of their official scoring. So the tariffs right.

828
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 21: Now we know are raising tremendous amounts of money. The

829
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 21: other point, which is very important, is that my colleagues

830
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 21: over accountcy Coomic Advisors have done incredible work that shows

831
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 21: actually if you look at the price of imported goods,

832
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 21: those prices have actually declined, which is remarkable. Declined in

833
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 21: both the personal consumption that expendishers deflator which is that

834
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 21: the FED follows or the more popular at least in

835
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 21: the Main Street Consumer Price Index, where the imported goods

836
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 21: prices not only haven't risen, they've actually declined, So we're

837
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 21: not seeing any inflation to this point, which tells us

838
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 21: that foreign producers are absorbing it in their margins, which

839
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 21: makes sense because US is the world's largest, the most

840
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 21: important consumer for about thirty five percent of global consumption

841
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 21: or somewhere around there.

842
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 16: I think the Secretary also said I think one hundred

843
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 16: band has already been collected, which is just espressly stunning.

844
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 2: That's correct.

845
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 16: I want to pivot. We got Philip Patrick and our

846
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 16: team from Birch Gold have covered for four or five

847
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 16: days the reset, and initially they were just doing they

848
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 16: were trying to hide it. They didn't want to talk dedellarisation.

849
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 16: They were doing these bilateral deals and saying it's all

850
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 16: for free trade. President Trump came out as President Trump's

851
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 16: want to do and say, Yo, if you're doing sign

852
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 16: a frame. This brick's nonsense. I'm going to add another

853
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 16: ten percent or more to the tariffs already, and that

854
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 16: chilled things. But I think Lula came out and made

855
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 16: a statement said hey, it's not going to happen overnight,

856
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 16: but it's happening. We're moving away from this. We don't

857
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 16: believe that one system for currency is good for our nations.

858
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 16: Any initial response to first off, do you believe that

859
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 16: the bricks nation can actually move off the dollar as

860
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 16: the pre reserve currency?

861
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 6: Now?

862
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 22: Certainly not.

863
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 21: And President Trump, as you know, Steve, is a tremendous negotiator.

864
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 21: You saw what happened with Canada with the digital tax

865
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 21: they want to impose, and also when the President has

866
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 21: threatened significant tariffs on the EU, they quickly backed away.

867
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 21: The fact is, when you look at the data, it

868
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 21: shows that demand for US assets has never been higher.

869
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 21: It's in our own official data that we put out

870
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 21: every month, and it's in various private sector reports that

871
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 21: showed tremendous capital inflows to the US.

872
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 22: It's still the world's reserve currency.

873
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 21: As Secretary Best and it said many times, the dollar's

874
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 21: demise has been greatly exaggerated that people have been saying

875
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 21: this since right after the Second World War.

876
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 22: We've got the reserve currency.

877
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 21: We're going to have the strongest, most dynamic economy in

878
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 21: the world, with the fastest growth rate among all the

879
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 21: industrialized countries. Inflations falling, as I mentioned, earlier, got all

880
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 21: these huge capital commitments that are coming in. I mean

881
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 21: that's the sign of dollar strength that will persist as

882
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 21: long as President Trump's policies are in place.

883
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 16: Joe, last question. You're one of the guys brought in

884
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 16: to help forecast this, put together the dashboard monitor, and

885
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 16: help execute it with the Secretary Treasury for the president.

886
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 16: Do you feel better, you know, four or five days

887
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 16: into this than you did last week when it was

888
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 16: up in the air. What was actually we were going

889
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 16: to close on? Or you feeling concerned?

890
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 22: Steve, I'm an optimist.

891
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 21: I learned that from my old boss and Trump one

892
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 21: point o, Larry Kudlow. I'm an optimist. I was always

893
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 21: I was kind of backing the president. He wanted a

894
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 21: July fourth and to speaker and leader a leader Thuon

895
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 21: and Speaker Johnson. They've do great working with Treasury secretary,

896
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 21: best setting moving the ball.

897
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 22: Down the field. So I was optimistic.

898
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 21: I thought was going to get done on July fourth,

899
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 21: and just as the President wanted, it got done. And

900
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 21: a mixing more confident because you know, all people talk

901
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 21: about all the uncertainty the tariffs, but I think they

902
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,959
Speaker 21: missed or they missed now is the uncertainty the tax

903
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 21: policy had posed. Companies have not been able to plan

904
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 21: for the OUTLOK because they didn't know. I they're going

905
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 21: to get a huge tax hike.

906
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 22: Nexture, with the biggest ever.

907
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 21: Now that we've got that certainty, yes, I'm much more

908
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 21: confident now that it's done that they're going to be

909
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 21: a second half growth boom, and I'm expecting to see

910
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 21: that in the data.

911
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 22: We're going to get more cap X.

912
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 21: Cap X is going to give you faster productivity, faster wages.

913
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 21: This blue collar wage boom that we've been talking about persist,

914
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 21: and it's going to be great, great news for Americans

915
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 21: all alike.

916
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 16: By the way, Larry Kudlow has preached this for decades

917
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 16: and he finally got it. This is a massive supply

918
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 16: sited tax cut that's really going to drive things. I'm

919
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 16: glad to know one of his someone that was mentored

920
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 16: by him, is here in the war room. I know

921
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 16: it hurts you guys. Sometimes we'll talk about terroffs, but

922
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 16: you know, President Trump is the tariff guy. I tell

923
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 16: Larry all that all the time. Joe, Social media, Where
