1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,000

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: I've got Chris hort Chris, particularly everything on AI of

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: what can happen, how they can change things up, the

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: susceptibility to the grid, and particularly the situation at Texas.

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: We did have the young CEO from Rainmaker was forgeduled

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: to come on here today. His travel and uh and

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: in this cabinet meeting is changing things up.

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get him on the next couple of days.

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: But with everything going on, or Chris Horte, we need

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: more than ever to make sure we can stay in

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: communication with each other.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Well, Steve, you're absolutely right.

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: I mean, one of the things that really hampered the

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: rescue operations in Kerr Texas. This last week was the

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: fact that cell towers were washed away and so were

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: fiber lines, so unless you had satellite phones, you couldn't communicate.

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: And so it's like, look, Steve, you don't wait until

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: your house on fireed by a fire extinguisher, So get

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: a satellite phone today while they're still free. We have

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: free satellite phones with activation at SAT one two three

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: dot com. And we're also including this week for warrem

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 3: uses only the free Faraday bag, a free satellite phone

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 3: Faraday bag. But Steve, these phones are the only things

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: that work during these devastating flooding in cur Texas that

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: they work anywhere, everywhere, no matter what's going on on

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: the ground. And the satellite phones normally around one thousand bucks.

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: They are free right now at SAT one two three

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: dot com or Steve called nine four one eight four

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: one zero eight four four. That's nine four one eight

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: four one zero eight four four. But again, this is

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: the only thing that's going to work when you have

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: a devastating situation like this. The same thing happened in

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Hurricane Baryn, and we've got a busy hurricane season coming up.

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: It looks like so this is going to these outages

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: are going to be happening more and more, and certainly,

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: you know the other big threat you're absolutely right with

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: AI is these attacks on the infrastructure. We know full

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: well that the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: Iranians hard at work trying to take out our infrastructure

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: wherever and whenever they can. They were successful at doing

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: so over in Spain and Portugal just a few months back,

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: taking the entire country offline of Spain for twenty four

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: hours plus. You know that that did happen, and that

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: certainly can happen here, Steve.

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Chris, one more time. These are all specials. I'll tell

53

Speaker 1: in this country that purport to be patriots and report

73

Speaker 1: to be worried about the United States of America that

00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: responders also the safety of them is concerned. So it's

158
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 6: it's extremely treacherous, time consuming, it's dirty work, it's the

159
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: water still there. So we're having to go layer by

160
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 6: layer peeling these off to make those recoveries.

161
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: So we're what about.

162
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 9: Mentally, like do you guys, someone across someone may seem how.

163
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 8: Do you process that?

164
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we processes the best we can.

165
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 6: We have professionals in place, our Crisis INTERVENTIONED Team, all

166
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 6: the agencies have some members representing there, and officer wellness

167
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 6: is a is a first responder wellness is a key

168
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 6: component to these operations. So we're maintaining and monitoring our

169
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: officer wellness, our first responder wellness. We're making sure they

170
00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 6: have the support. It's very tragic whenever you see human life,

171
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 6: but to see child and that loss of life is

172
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: extremely Tragics can.

173
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 8: Come down west of us and it's eventually it's gonna

174
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 8: get down to waterlooa river. Is that gonna put a

175
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 8: halt to the searches? And if not, how are you

176
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 8: gonna change the trajectory of the search and rescue operations?

177
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 7: Uh?

178
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 6: So with the water coming down, there is always a concern.

179
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 6: And I'm sure you've been monitoring the last couple of

180
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 6: days where we've had some reports of maybe some additional

181
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 6: water coming in. Obviously that's gonna impact the search and

182
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 6: recovery efforts.

183
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 8: Uh.

184
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: You know, US, with numerous other agency do have air capabilities,

185
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: drone capabilities. We've got numerous fixed s ring rotary helicopters here.

186
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 6: So it will alter our patrol patterns and alter our searches,

187
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: but it won't deter them.

188
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 9: Specific discussions and actions were taken between the time the

189
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 9: first and what emergency alert in at one fourteen am

190
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 9: and then when the river first shorted flood cames.

191
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 8: Hours later later.

192
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 9: Well, where these specific actions and discussions that come in

193
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 9: those hours, super course?

194
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: Can you repeat that again please?

195
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 8: Absolutely?

196
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 9: I would like to know if you could outline please

197
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 9: what these specific actions and discussions were that local officials

198
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 9: took between one fourteen am that's when the first flood

199
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 9: emergency alert came out and hours later when the river

200
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 9: for shorty flood comes.

201
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 8: What happened in those hours?

202
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: What I can tell you when I was first notified,

203
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: it was around the four to five area. One of

204
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: my sergeants was in dispatch when the first calls started

205
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 4: coming into the xtual nine one one calls come in four.

206
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: It was between four or five when when I got notified. Okay,

207
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: but prior to that in that three to four area.

208
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: My understanding is, and we're in the process of trying

209
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: to put a timeline.

210
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 2: You know that's going to take a little bit of time.

211
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: As I've told you several times that is not my

212
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: priority this time. There's three priorities. That's locating, locating the

213
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: people out there. If I notify the Mexican that that

214
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,839

Speaker 2: When did it happen?

219
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 8: Was the emergency manager awake at the time? Didn't they

220
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 8: push the button to issue an emergency alert?

221
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 10: Sir?

222
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,120

226
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: I can't tell you at this time. Okay.

227
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 8: Can you tell me if the emergency manager issued alert?

228
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: Okay?

Speaker 6: Do we have another question any you?

269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 9: I think I'd like to focus on what local people

270
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 9: can be looking for.

271
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 7: We're looking at some erosion and roads and safety and

272
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 7: them traveling.

273
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 8: What can we tell people who live here right now

274
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 8: and what they can do in their daily life? Should

275
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 8: they worry about traveling on roads? Do we know anything

276
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 8: about that infrastruction?

277
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 13: Sure, absolutely, Donathan Lambkerville Police Department. So we know that

278
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 13: there's substantial road damage. Some roads have been closed for safety.

279
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 13: We've got crews out there in the county shoring them

280
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 13: up and making sure that people can travel to and from.

281
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 13: But we're asking for the public to do to assist

282
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 13: us is if they believe that they have seen someone

283
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 13: a victim, notify emergency services call nine one one, let

284
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 13: us know, or use our non emergency numbers very code

285
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 13: eight three zero two five seven eight one eight one,

286
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 13: contact our dispatch team and we will send officers out there.

287
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 13: We also ask foks to limit their travel. Our first

288
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 13: responders have had a very difficult time getting to where

289
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 13: they need to go. Because of the amount of people

290
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 13: who are flooding our roadways. We understand there's natural curiosity.

291
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 13: People want to come here and see the flood damage.

292
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 13: Now is not the time for sight seeing. This operation

293
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 13: is ongoing and continuous, and it will continue. I've got

294
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 13: time for one more question.

295
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 8: People who are.

296
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 13: Last question, as far as I know, the last live

297
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 13: rescue unless there's new information, and I don't believe there is,

298
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 13: was made on Friday. All right, I'm afraid that's going

299
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 13: to have to do it for this morning.

300
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 8: And someone answer. If the bodies have been released to

301
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 8: the families.

302
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: Sure, it's easy up the body for release to the

303
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: some some I mean they're at our topsy.

304
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 10: I mean.

305
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 14: An estimate among the general population, not just the girls fromistic,

306
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 14: even just credible report, is it undred?

307
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 15: Still?

308
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 8: Is there any estimate along the general population of how many.

309
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: People are you know? I've told y'all it's hard to

310
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: know that number.

311
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 5: No, we don't.

312
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: I know the numbers who we have found, and that's

313
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: all I know.

314
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 13: All right, So we're going to continue our operations. The

315
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 13: next time that we're going to be in front of

316
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 13: y'all will be at five pm right back here. If

317
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 13: there is a critical update, again, we'll provide that information

318
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 13: to you through the contact list that you have provided

319
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 13: to us. Thank y'all, We appreciate it.

320
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: Okay, you see, as we predicted, U that is getting

321
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: a little contentions. There are some basic uh you know,

322
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and now it's actually.

323
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: Full attack mode.

324
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying some of the things that the media

325
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: are asking there are are out of line. There are

326
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: a ton of questions here about the changing command, tons

327
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: of questions about how it was, you know, the evolutions

328
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: of not just the warning of the National Weather Center,

329
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: which those questions are trying to pin something on President Trump.

330
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: The question you just saw there and you saw the

331
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: media is not backing down the saying, hey, the community

332
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: is asking these questions, what given the reporting that you had,

333
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: what was the chain of command? How this happened? And

334
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: clearly people don't want to answer here. One of the

335
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: reasons people don't want to answer is that, look, just

336
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: the way things are, the civil lawsuits here are going

337
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: to be quite enormous, and I'm sure a lot of

338
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: people want to be very hesitant about going on the

339
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: record of speaking at a press conference and saying something

340
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: that they might have to eat later buried. Lead right there,

341
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The question was asked, when was the

342
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: last live rescue that you had?

343
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: He said, Friday.

344
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: So, and today they use the subtle term search and recovery,

345
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: search and recovery. So the search and rescue is over.

346
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: It's search and recovery. But today it's Tuesday. You've not

347
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: had a live recovery from since Friday. It shows you

348
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: the power, the really the unrelenting power of this of

349
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the storm. And there's so many questions that have to

350
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: be answer, including the fact was this just purely an

351
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: act of God? Or is this an act of God

352
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: with man's hand in it? Or was this an act

353
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: of that had much more about I don't know, geoengineering

354
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: or manipulation whatever, Those of all got to be answered,

355
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: and we're going to work to get the answers to that. Clearly,

356
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: there's a effort going underway to make sure they recover

357
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: the bodies.

358
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: Now.

359
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: I do think that the folks down a Curville or

360
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: some state level, and you notice at some of these

361
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: tough press conferences you're not seeing the politicians anymore. They

362
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: want to be there when there's good news. Not a

363
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: lot of good news coming out of Curveville right now,

364
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: an intense scrutiny as they're just going to have to

365
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: understand that's going to happen.

366
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 2: So you know, our.

367
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Prayers go out to all the victims, but also the

368
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: folks down in Curville that are going to come under

369
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: some intense intense pressure the cabinet meeting. I don't have

370
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: a feed yet. The Cabinet meeting has not started this.

371
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is spur of the moment. I

372
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: think this might have been planned, but there's so much

373
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: going on. Let's just go back. Can I get teed

374
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: up the Brooks Roylance thing on the CCP about the

375
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: whole purpose of this, and I'm going to go back

376
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: to the annisty folks. You have it, you have both

377
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: of them. Play a hangar for a second, just hanger

378
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: for both. I'll tell you what. Let's play the amnesty

379
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: one first. I want to be cause this has been

380
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: the big controversy. Charlie Kirk brought up a lot of

381
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: people thought even the fscene thing might have been a

382
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: misdirection play on this. The war room Charlie Kirk led

383
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: by Charlie Kirk. We went crazy on this yesterday, Jack Pisobac,

384
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: all of us on this very issue. Our mantra here

385
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: is mass deportations, now amnesty.

386
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: Never.

387
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: You cannot have amnesty, just as inconceivable would break down

388
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: the entire thought process that drove the populist nationalist movement.

389
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and play Brooks rylanins from earlier this morning.

390
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 10: The first thing I'll say is the President has been

391
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 10: unequivocal that there will be no amnesty, and I think

392
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 10: that's very, very important. I and the rest of our

393
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 10: cabinet certainly support that, effectuate that, and make sure that

394
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 10: happens every single day. The second thing to your question

395
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 10: about mass deportations, the President and I have spoken about

396
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 10: that once or twice, and he has always been of

397
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 10: the mindset that at the end of the day, the

398
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 10: promise to America to ensure that we have a one

399
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 10: hundred percent American workforce stands. But we must be strategic

400
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 10: and how we are implementing the mass deportation so is

401
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 10: not to compromise our food supply. Ultimately, the answer on

402
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 10: this is automation, also some reform within the current governing structure.

403
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 10: And then also when you think about there are thirty

404
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 10: four million able bodied adults in our medicaid program. There

405
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 10: are plenty of workers in America, but we just have

406
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 10: to make sure we're not compromising today, especially in the

407
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 10: context of everything we're thinking about right now. So no

408
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 10: amnesty under any circumstances. Mass deportations continue, but in a

409
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 10: strategic and intentional way as we move our workforce toward

410
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 10: more automation and toward a one hundred percent American workforce.

411
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 10: And ultimately it's the wonderful members of Congress behind me

412
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 10: who are taking this on on the fixing the current

413
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 10: immigration system, so thank you so much.

414
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: They may talk about in the Cabinet meton today, but

415
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: I want to make sure, she said later, about the

416
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: Labor Department and Secretary Labor in the H two a's,

417
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: which are the H one B visas, the H two

418
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: a's or for agriculture and things like that. So we'll

419
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: make sure they're talking about some executive order. We'll make

420
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: sure they're not slipping in amnesty there. But no amnesty,

421
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: no way from Rowlins, the Secretary Agriculture. The entire purpose

422
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: of this today was about the Chinese Commists Party, and

423
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: here you see the convergence of the of the show

424
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: today about energy, about agriculture, about advanced technology, what is

425
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: interweaving all of it, artificial intelligence, and also things like

426
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's still this madness on this climate change hoax, right,

427
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: the decarbonization myth still pervades in much of this. You

428
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: also had we had Eric tissa on here the codification

429
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: of this what Brooks just talked about, as far as

430
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: immigration goes an amnesty and all that it goes back,

431
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: you need it codified into Congress. This is the whole thing,

432
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: with the woke nature of the of what's happened in

433
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: the Defense Department. We're not going to get these things

434
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: out of here until we get it codified in the law.

435
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 1: The other thing you see going on is that, and

436
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: I hope Russ does the quick mark on these recisions.

437
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: You're in another appropriations process right now.

438
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: Write this down. Take your number two parencil out and

439
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: write down thirty September of twenty twenty five. What is that.

440
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: August September, So we're seventy five days away from that,

441
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: I think, So write this down at midnight on the

442
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: thirties September of twenty twenty five.

443
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: You're gonna be sucking on a cr.

444
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: Okay, a big ugly cr because as sure as the

445
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: turning of the earth, these folks they got out of

446
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: town soons they got the big beautiful bill done, they're

447
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna come back. They're gonna, you know, mess around for

448
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks with the appropriations process and the

449
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: committee of the twelve individual appropriations bills that we wanted

450
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: and to fight about. And they're gonna skip out of

451
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: town here for the August recess in August and you

452
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: ain't gonna see them again to after Labor Day. And

453
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: when they get back after Labor Day, you're gonna have

454
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks say well, we don't have

455
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: enough time to actually pass a bill, so we're just

456
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna have and it's just gonna be a small sea,

457
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: just cr and it's only gonna be you know, we

458

Speaker 2: it goes RUSS vote.

464
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: I think what you're gonna see in the interim, and

465
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: really what we must see in the interim is RUSS

466
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: vote and omb kind of the adults in the room.

467
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: We need now to see real recisions packages. You ran

468
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: the test case with the UH, with the the PBS

469
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: and a couple others. You know, seven baion dolls. Are

470
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: the nine point three billion we need to see recisions.

471
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be pocket recisions, impoundments. They'd rather

472
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: go the recision route, which is go back to Congress.

473
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm much more let's just have the president pound it,

474
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: go to court, you know, take on these radical judges

475
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: as we must. There's all types of things now going

476
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: on about you know, immigration, his ability. You know, they're

477
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: hammering that not stop. We're gonna get some clarity of

478
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: that probably Tomorrow's too much going on today, but so

479
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: on this all at war on the spending cuts. The

480
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: essential deal that was made is, hey, let's vote for this.

481
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: It ain't pretty, in fact, some of them is quite ugly,

482
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: but there are other means that we can get to.

483
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: The objective is your objective is to cut. The president

484
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: has an article to power to cut. So let's get

485
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: on with it. Let's start cutting now. You know, Doze

486
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: did not find dose, really didn't find the waste for

487
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: an abuse. I would love the departments to come back

488
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: and say, what is actually happening in Social Security?

489
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: Okay, what is actually happening Medicaid?

490
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: Right? If we're to get this thing right sized, the

491
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: first thing you got to do is cut out the

492
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: you guy, cut the fraud. You have to cut out

493
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: the abuse, right and you got cut out the waist.

494
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Those things should be low hanging fruit. To date, when

495
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: you really talk about hard numbers, you're not seeing a lot.

496
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: And that's why I think go back to O and B,

497
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: which is really the adult and really apparatus runs most

498
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: of this as far as the apparatus goes, and that

499
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: has to be done, and I think they ought to

500
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: be put up now as we're into this appropriations process

501
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six. If you think of the big

502
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: beautiful bill, what the argument that russ Vote and these

503
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: people made.

504
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: Best made it? On the economic side.

505
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: It's a supply side tax cut, and this will turbocharge

506
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: the economy to get us to and beyond a three

507
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: percent GDP growth rate, because once you do that, the math,

508
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: you start to solve a lot of problems.

509
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: Russ Vote argued.

510
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Another aspect of this major structural changes of taking out permit.

511
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: This is the one point five tree and now it's

512
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: one point five tree in over ten years, where the

513
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: spending I think is ninety treeion dollars. So it's not big,

514
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: but he said, it's structural and will lead to better things.

515
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: In the different.

516
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: In the interim, you're going to have two trillion dollar deficits.

517
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. The deficit I think on

518
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: by September thirty, at the end of the country's fiscal year,

519
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: will be close to two and a half trillion dollars.

520
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: And that will be and that will be counted as

521
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: President Trump's first year. That's just the way the math

522
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: works out to cut that interim deficit. Because remember they

523
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: got a lift of five trillion dollars to the death

524
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: ceiling to get that the only way you got. You know,

525
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: you can get into this appropriation of twenty six. But

526
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: to do it now, you have to have impoundments, recisions,

527
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: pocket recisions, and they got to be real numbers. And

528
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: when I say real numbers, I mean real big numbers,

529
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: not the test case of nine point two, but real

530
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: big numbers, and somebody's got to go back to the

531
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: to Social Security, to Medicaid, to medicare immediately and get

532
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: into the Hey, there's leakage in the system.

533
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: We know that.

534

00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,040

Speaker 1: our nine seven to two Patriot Glenn story in the

591
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: great team there. Okay, a lot of things are happening.

592
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: I think that's why it's quite advisable to have a

593
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: board meeting or a cabinet meeting, because that's kind of

594
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: the board of directors of the US government. It's supposed

595
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: to happen at eleven o'clock. It's been I guess slightly delayed.

596
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: As often as what happens, we will pick that up

597
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: in centirety because normally, if it's open to the president's

598
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be at least for a while, President Trump

599
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: always has some sort of opening remarks and then goes

600
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: around the table.

601
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: I got a clip on Ukraine. We must talk about Ukraine.

602
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: Let's gohe and talk about it.

603
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: More weapons Ukraine within some more weapons.

604
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 15: We have to They have to be able to defend themselves.

605
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: Be getting hit very hard. Now they're getting hit very hard.

606
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 15: We're gonna have to send more weapons, you hat, defensive

607
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 15: weapons primarily.

608
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: But they're getting hit very, very hard.

609
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 15: So many people are dying in that mess. And I'm

610
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 15: not happy with President Putin at all, but this is

611
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 15: something that would have never happened about with President I'm disappointed,

612
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 15: frankly that President Putin hasn't stopped.

613
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm not happy about it either.

614
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 16: A couple days ago, we had the DoD pause weapons

615
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 16: shipments to Ukraine from Defense Secretary Hegseth, the call from

616
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 16: him Richard, President Trump then saying no, no, we want to

617
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 16: continue it. And then late last night DoD did announce

618
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 16: that they'll be sending more. I am told that they

619
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 16: they'd rather outsource this, they'd rather have European partners step

620
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 16: up with defensive missiles, even like the Germans buying Patriot

621
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 16: batteries from the US then shipped him to Ukraine than

622
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 16: a direct assist So this is the question here is

623
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 16: to Joe's point, is there a moment where do you

624
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 16: see a moment coming people you've talked to in the

625
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 16: community where President Trump might actually get tough with with Putin?

626
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 16: And what would that look like.

627
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 14: We've been waiting for it for you know, this hire

628
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 14: first term we're now I've been waiting for it for

629
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 14: these months. Yesterday was a rare piece, a sliver of

630
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 14: good news. Look, the devil will be in the details.

631
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 14: What kind of arms, how much of arms? For how long?

632
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 14: I find it hard that it's not just this progress

633
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 14: right there.

634
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: Look, if you look at the path in the Israel situation,

635
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: you you arm them and some they buy in. Most

636
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: you just kind of you kind of give, or you

637
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: give on loans that are forgiven or direct assistants. Then

638
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: they're so dependent upon that. And this is my problem

639
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: that Yahoo they started a war, which they knew they

640
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: couldn't defend themselves Number one Foreign Policy magazine, does you know?

641
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: So back set up and on offense they couldn't take

642
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: out which is the prime objective, which is the nuclear

643
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: bomb making capability, weaponization of their nuclear program. And all

644
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden we're drawn as a combatant.

645
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: Immediately.

646
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: If you're providing defense for somebody in an open kinetic war,

647
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: you're a combatant. You can parse that as much as

648
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: you want, but you're a combatant. You're providing defense. And

649
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: what happened in the Persian situation, and exorably we got

650
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: brought in, particularly since our quote unquote ally or our

651
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: protectorate couldn't finish the job, couldn't even come close to

652
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: fencing job. We had the most sophisticated lethal, bold strike

653
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: by the American armed forces, the Navy with thirty Tomahawk

654
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: missiles in the Air Force obviously with the B twos

655
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: and others that eradicated for total obliteration the nuclear program.

656
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Write this down, folks. The same thing's going to happen

657
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: in Ukraine if we don't force Because remember for the

658
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: NATO guy saying five percent that was all great. President

659
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: Trump was very touch. We thought it's a huge win

660
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: because they used to say we weren't going to do

661
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: the two percent. But the five percent doesn't take. It

662
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: doesn't totally finalize or kicking it doesn't. It's not finally

663
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: kicked in until twenty thirty four. It's going to take

664
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: them that long to convince their population if they're kind

665
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: of being hold it and don't don't think they're all

666
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: going to live up to it right now. I don't

667
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: think any of them are going to live up to

668
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe the Germans. So that's why this whole thing right

669
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: now should be the should be Europe. You guys talk

670
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: a big game in Ukraine. The EU drove this, NATO

671
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: drove this.

672
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: Where are you?

673
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: Merscheimer said, you weren't going to be there? Where are

674
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: you now? And why did President Trump and the guys

675
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: the Pentagon stop it last week? They stopped it last

676
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: week because we are severely drawn down for our own

677
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: defense and particularly for the defense of things we think

678
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: are very important, like in the Pacific, we are field

679
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: stripping Korea, and we are field stripping the potential defense

680
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: of Taiwan to supply the Middle East right and number

681
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: two to now supply Ukraine, we're down. The Guardians reporting

682
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: we're down set this is why they shut it down

683
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: last week. We're down seventy five percent on the Patriot

684
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: Battle of Batteries, which is still the principal kind of

685
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: front line for surface to air defense. And then you've

686
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: got the THAD missile system, which I think we're drawn

687
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: down twenty five percent basically defending Israel.

688
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: If you get if the United.

689
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: States gets sacked in to directly doing this and we

690
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: take down the thing, you're just teeing up Taiwan. You're

691
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: teeing up Taiwan. So God helped the Seventh Fleet. You

692
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: got to reinforce the seventh Fleet. We got to be

693
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: on patrol. You ought to take an aircraft carrier through

694
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: the straits of Taiwan. Put them on notice that you're

695
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: ready for this, because unlike Ukraine and unlike Iran, we

696
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: lose Taiwan, you're going to see a big direct impact

697
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: on your life. I go back to the singularity to

698
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: quantum computing, in advanced chip design, the advanced chip design

699
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: coming out of Taiwan and still produced in Taiwan at

700
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: the capacities. We need to run an advance industrial economy

701
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: ours you saw already. Let's be blunt on the whole

702
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: trade war. China's been preparing for this for a long time.

703
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Where do you know that you know that from the

704
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: war room? Why because in unrestricted warfare, folks, that they.

705
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: Wrote the manual in the nineties, one of.

706
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: The big parts of it is supply chains. In economic warfare,

707
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: it's one of their biggest branches. They knew that if

708
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: the United States ever woke up with a guy like

709
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Trump and confronted them, that they needed to be ready.

710
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: How are they ready back? I don't know. In twenty

711
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: twoenty twelve, twenty thirteen, they bought a basically a processing.

712
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: Plant, I think it was in Ohio.

713
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: Siphius didn't stop them under the Bio Biden excuse me,

714
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: under the Obama administration. And one of the reasons was

715
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was supposed to be on top of it,

716
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: and who knows whose payroll he was on, And that

717
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: processing is where the magnets and some of the ball

718
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: bearings come from. When we did this and threw down

719
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: hard the whole that Chinese go, how about this?

720
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: No rare earth? And they had some leverage. They definitely

721
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: had some leverage.

722
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: Think of what would happen in a flat out war

723
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: of Taiwan.

724
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: And they're playing.

725
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: They're not doing exercises, they're doing rehearsals right now for Taiwan.

726
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: And that's the big Enchilada.

727
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: What happens in Kiev has no vital national security implications

728
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: to the United States of America at all. Now, President

729
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Trump has tried to have a rapprochement with Putin. We

730
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: announced the limitations last week. President Trump had a conversation,

731
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: a two hour conversation.

732
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: We know.

733
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: From what's been said in President tr Trump said it

734
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: did not go well. Putin was not really open to

735
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, the President Trump in the Americans, we've been

736
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: involved a while trying to put you know, try to

737
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: get a ceasefire, try to put it to bed, cutting

738
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: an economic deal with the Ukrainian's which and as you know,

739
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: in the war, I'm not a fan of that. President

740
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: Trump going out of his way to trying to get

741
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: some put their guns down and let's get to a

742
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: ceasefire and talk and talk about territory. And Putin just

743
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: basically said thanks for the memories. Axios reported Putin was

744
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: pretty adamant this a bilateral negotiation. We don't need the Americans.

745
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 1: That's what President Trump said, Hey, Putin was very tough,

746
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not happy. I think he said he's not

747
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: happy ten times that night. Putin lit up Kiev, and

748
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: the President was a lot less happy with that. He

749
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: considered that like one of net Yahou's moves that when

750
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: the ceasefires announced, he went in and hammered the Persians

751
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: one more time. And President Trump said, Hey, I'm I'm

752
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: really not happy now. An Applebaum reported in the Atlantic,

753
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: I've got it up on get her. She's a Trump

754
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: hater and a Maga hater and a Steve Bannon hayter.

755
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. She had really good reporting. Remember her

756
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: husband's a senior politician over in Poland. Her scoop I

757
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: thought was an army of ground forces, six hundred and

758
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand man army by the Russians who were

759
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be defeated. Remember that seventy five thousand ready

760
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: to go for summer operations.

761
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: And here's what's going to happen. They're gonna now start driving.

762
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: For real territory, and they may drive to Kiev and

763
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: just tell the West, hey put up or shut up.

764
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: That's how the United States gets anextually drawn in as

765
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: a combatant Number one of the defense. Number two, the

766
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: cry for help, the cry for help part of putting.

767
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: Remember President Trump gave a two week window for negotiations.

768
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: We couldn't find anybody to negotiate, a total of smack talking.

769
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: All of that.

770
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: But one of the aspects here is the Israelis couldn't

771
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: take much more pounding. They were getting people. The folks

772
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: in Tel Aviv were getting crushed because of this overwhelming

773
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: ballistic missile operation the Persians had. You don't think that's

774
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: going to happen in Ukraine. We make this commitment and

775
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: don't force the Europeans on it. It's not like, oh,

776
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: buy it from us and give it to us. If

777
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: we don't make the Europeans step up and step up

778
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: now and understand that's their problem, we are inexorably going

779
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: to get drawn into this war, just like we were

780
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: drawn into the Persian War. Thank god, President Trump came

781
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: up and shut it down as a twelve day war,

782
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: and now he's moving to shut down. He's shut down.

783
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: God said, I've seen enough of that. President Trump's a

784
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: man of peace, trying to get everybody laid down of

785
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: their weapons, and we're going to figure this out as

786
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: far as the deal goes. But once you start sending

787
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: in weapons in defensive systems and they start coming to you,

788
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: and the emotion, it's gonna be the front page of

789
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: every paper. Kid getting pounded, kids getting killed, families being destroyeders. Remember,

790
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: and when you talk about the two million casualties, the

791
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: one man from the Russians are dead and wounded soldiers.

792
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 1: When you talk about the one million the President Trump

793
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: talks about Ukraine, that is soldiers dead, warned soldiers and civilians.

794
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: The Savilian population, casualties have been massive. Just look at

795
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: what Ukraine looks like. Parts of it look like the

796
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: Western Front in World War One, and they fought like

797
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: the Western Front in World War One, that level of brutality.

798
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: Short commercial break back in a moment, let's take down.

799
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 2: Use your hosts, Betty gay Back.

800
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Michael and Dale. Still, no cabinet is

801
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 1: gonna go see up to the hill. Did Johnson work

802
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: his charm there? Hang on, let's go right now into

803
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: the cabinet room left.

804
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 17: Are you able to get them all into him?

805
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: And then are you dead?

806
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 17: Thank you very much we've had a tremendous six months

807
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 17: and we've had a tremendous two weeks, which now is

808
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 17: I guess three weeks. And we have a tremendous group

809
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 17: of people here that have done a great, unified, beautiful

810
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 17: job I wanted in particular because of what she's gone

811
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 17: through this last few days, done an incredible job. As

812
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 17: you know, Christy who I'm gonna ask you to say

813
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 17: a few words about Texas. The uh first person there was,

814
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 17: which first person I saw on television was you actually,

815
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 17: and you've worked great with the Governor's terrific and uh

816
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 17: you might wanna tell a little bit about the trials

817
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 17: and populations, but uh, we appreciate the.

818
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 15: Job that you and everybody have done for you had

819
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 15: uh you had people there as fast as anybody's ever seen.

820
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 17: So I really appreciate it.

821
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 5: We all do.

822
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 17: And maybe you could say if you want, sure, well, thank.

823
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 8: You, mister president. I want to thank you for your leadership.

824
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 10: Uh.

825
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 8: Texas is strong and the people of Texas are incredibly strong.

826
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 7: They've gone through something that is absolutely horrific, and it

827
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 7: is heartbreaking to watch these families suffer the way that

828
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 7: they are.

829
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 8: As soon as this flash flooding event happened.

830
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 7: You know, the governor has has activated uh his emergency responders.

831
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 8: Nim Kid is his emergency management director, who is.

832
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 7: Incredible, and I has immediately worked with the local first

833
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 7: responders to get helped individuals.

834
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 8: And get them evacuated, put requests into me.

835
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 7: We deployed, Sir right away, as you know, because you

836
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 7: and I were talking a lot during this time, the

837
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 7: Coast Guard. We also had some assets out of Customs

838
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 7: and Border Protection, our board tech teams went in and

839
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 7: helped with rescues and clearing debris so that we could

840
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 7: get roads open and people get the help that they need.

841
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 7: I think when I got there, the most served that

842
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 7: day as soon as I arrived on site was getting

843
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 7: a briefing from all the emergency responders was just how

844
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 7: unified they were in focusing on the fact that were

845
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 7: there to save lives. They were there to rescue people,

846
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 7: find people who were still alive, and to reunify them

847
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 7: with their family members. We as a federal government don't

848
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 7: manage these disasters the state does.

849
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 8: We come in and support them, and that's exactly what

850
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 8: we did here in this situation.

851
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 7: FEMA went to an enhanced level immediately, But as soon

852
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 7: as you signed the Major Disaster Declaration, we were able

853
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 7: to get them resources and dollars right away, just like

854
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 7: you and vision through state block grants to.

855
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 8: Help them with clean up.

856
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 7: And we're still there in presence, and FEMA's been deployed

857
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 7: and we're cutting through the paperwork of the old FEMA

858
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 7: streamlining it much like your vision of how FEMA should operate,

859
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 7: and it's been a much better response to help these

860
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 7: families get through this terrible situation.

861
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 8: We still are looking for people.

862
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 7: We're still looking for a lot of little girls and

863
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 7: other family members that we're camping along that river, and

864
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 7: they will continue until they find every single person, and we.

865
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 8: Will continue to help them and assist in that.

866
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 7: I was surprised when I got there at the camp

867
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 7: that day, right after this happened.

868
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,919
Speaker 8: The parents that were there, the parents that were looking

869
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 8: for their.

870
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 7: Children and picking up their daughter's stuffed animals out of

871
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 7: the mud and finding.

872
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 8: The daughter's shoe that.

873
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 7: Might be laying in the cabin, and just hugging and

874
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 7: comforting people matters a lot. I'm extremely grateful for God's

875
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 7: hand in that whole situation, because hundreds and hundreds and

876
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 7: hundreds of people were saved, and and this is a

877
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 7: time for all of us in this country to remember

878
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 7: that we were created to serve each other.

879
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 8: We were God created us to take care of each other,

880
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 8: and that when we do that, we are happier, we are.

881
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 7: More fulfilled, and we can walk alongside people on their

882
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 7: worst day and help them get through it and come

883
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 7: out the other side knowing that we can that we

884
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 7: can continue to.

885
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 8: Live a life that God has purposed for us. So

886
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 8: they're grateful for you. I several times the day after.

887
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 7: The flooding, you and Milania were on the phone with me,

888
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 7: and I want to thank you for that, and that

889
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 7: meant the world. I was able to tell many of

890
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 7: those folks that I had been visiting with you and

891
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 7: that you had said, whatever they need, Christy, let's deploy

892
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 7: it and get it down there and be helpful. And

893
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 7: on Sunday, when the families were waiting at a church

894
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 7: to identify their children's bodies, Franklin Graham and I called

895
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 7: in and prayed with the families and read some scripture

896
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 7: with them, and he was incredible and making himself available

897
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 7: to that as well. We'll be back down there in

898
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 7: a couple of days and continue to do all we can.

899
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 7: But this is an unprecedented event.

900
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 8: It really is. There's been tragedies.

901
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 7: Like this around the country, but everyone is unique in

902
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 7: different situations.

903
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 8: And you know the response the.

904
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 7: Federal government had supporting the state through this. I'm proud

905
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 7: of the people that stepped up and immediately came the

906
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 7: Coast Guard. When they came in, they had a difficult

907
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 7: time even getting the aircraft in and landed. They had

908
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 7: to try several times in the weather to get it

909
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 7: in and deploy. And I think we've heard about, you know,

910
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 7: our one Coast Guard member that was responsible for saving

911
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 7: over one hundred and sixty five people, But that entire

912
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 7: crew did incredible work, and all the first responders there

913
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 7: did incredible work.

914
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 8: And I know people are getting tired.

915
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: Down, but.

916
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 8: They're getting reinforcements and volunteers.

917
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 7: Are showing up, and I just want to commend the

918
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 7: governor and his team for being the leaders, and they're

919
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 7: so thankful that you're letting them make the decisions and

920
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 7: manage the response like it should be, and then us

921
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 7: supporting them with the resources of the federal government. We've

922
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 7: already deployed dollars to the state, much like the block

923
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 7: grants that you've talked about.

924
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 8: So very grateful for that circum.

925
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 18: There's never been a wave like this outside of the

926
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 18: breaking of a dam. This was almost a wave that

927
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 18: was ended up being thirty feet high more. Actually, now

928
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 18: with a dam you can understand it, but this approached

929
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 18: almost with that speed. When you see a dam break,

930
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 18: it's not a pretty side. It wipes out everything. And

931
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 18: this is the kind of thing that built up so fast.

932
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 18: And it's happened two or three times before over the years,

933
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 18: but not to this extent. But you tell them when

934
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 18: you met the father who was picking up.

935
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 7: I had walked through the cabin where all the little

936
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 7: girls died, and I had kind of fallen apart in there.

937
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 8: But I walked out of the cabin and a gentleman

938
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 8: was standing there.

939
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 7: And he said, that man over there needs a hug,

940
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 7: and so I walked over to him and I hugged him,

941
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 7: and I said, do you work here? And he said no,

942
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 7: My little girl was in that cabin, and he said,

943
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 7: and I just found her best friend about an hour

944
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 7: and a half ago.

945
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 8: She had passed away, and he just fell apart. And

946
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 8: so then we just hugged and talked for probably an

947
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 8: hour about that.

948
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 7: But then there was another The grandpa was there looking

949
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 7: for his granddaughter as well. There was a dad there

950
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 7: of one of the counselors. The counselor was alive, but

951
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 7: she was dealing with the fact that she had hung

952
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 7: on to some of these girls and was trying to

953
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 7: keep them out of the flood waters, and had gotten

954
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 7: hit by something and had lost two of the girls

955
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 7: and wasn't able to hang on to them, and was

956
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 7: going to live the rest of her life thinking about

957
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 7: that moment when she wasn't able to hang on to

958
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 7: these girls. But these parents were picking up their kids's

959
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 7: belongings out of the mud and throughout the camp and

960
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 7: putting them in bags. And then one of the dads said,

961
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 7: I knew fifty of these girls here, so what I

962
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 7: knew that was her dress. It's my daughter's friend's dress.

963
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 7: So he was picking it up and putting it in

964
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 7: a bag to return to her parents.

965
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 8: So it was.

966
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 7: And then the director was there comforting everybody who had

967
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 7: lost his father the night before too, And he was

968
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 7: still there trying to facilitate all of these parents grieving

969
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 7: their children and find them so the strength of people

970
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 7: is incredible. One of the things that I asked there

971
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 7: to do that day was that they all have escorts

972
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 7: or counselors when parents come in.

973
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so from Steve Bann in the war room, live

974
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: cabin meeting, Charlie kirksonant to pick it up from here.

975
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: We're back at five pm Eastern daylight time.

976
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 8: See in the world, people is incredible.

977
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 7: One of the things that I asked there today that

978
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 7: day was that they all have escorts or counselors when

979
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 7: parents come in. So from that point that when they

980
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 7: came into the camp that they have somebody with them

981
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 7: when they're going and.

982
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 8: Looking for their children's belongings or looking for their children,

983
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 8: and so very emotional, but also just so tragic.

984
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 18: The relationship with Texas and the governor who's been obviously

985
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 18: very good for years with me, but the relationship with

986
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 18: the Texas and their first responders and us with our

987
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 18: first response
