1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Ah, the devastation is unbelievable. How these kids survived in

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: any of these camps along the river's nothing short of

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: a miracle.

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: We went to bed thinking it was just a normal thunderstorm.

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: One minute you see lightning strike next to your cabin,

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: and next to you you hear waters coming up, and

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: you have kids running just trying to get to other cabins,

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: trying to.

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Get to safety.

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: And the next morning we had some of the older

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: girls went back to their cabin seat they could find anything.

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: I remember one girl walked out with her Bible and

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: she was so happy just to have her bible. I

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: put on my name tag because I didn't. I was

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: scared that if water's coming out next to our other cabins,

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: that our cabin might be next. And I just put

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: it on just for safe keeping, saying if in my

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: head of saying, if if something does happen, I do

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: get swept away, at least I'll have my name on

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: my body. My friend Nanny was just that's so funny.

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 4: I've been scrolling.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: I've been scrolling two videos and pictures on my.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: Mom's phone and watching it over and over again.

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 6: For dancing when she's excited.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: She was.

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: She was so nic I just miss her so much.

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 7: The level of sick hatred in this country for anyone

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 7: to see this story and think anything other than those

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 7: precious girls in their families. But when people tell you

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 7: who they are, believe them. That's what Maya Angelo said.

31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 7: When people tell you who they are, believe them. There

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 7: was a pediatrician in Houston named Christina Propst who lost

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 7: her job over the vile things she posted Bluefish MD,

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 7: the pediatric group she worked with fired her because they

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 7: probably would have gone bankrupt if they didn't. People are

36
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 7: so angry at what she's done, what she said. We

37
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 7: had a woman who was a mayoral appointee who runs

38
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 7: a farmer's market in what's known as Friedman's Town, which

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 7: is which was a community of blacks from well over

40
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 7: one hundred years ago, who first established independent black home

41
00:02:53,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 7: ownership in this community. It is supported by the community.

42
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 7: She happens to be a black woman, and she made

43
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 7: statements about.

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: About these are white girls.

45
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 7: And the only reason anyone is helping them is because

46
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 7: they're white girls. How can you see skin color at

47
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 7: a time like this. I think this is the clip

48
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 7: of her saying it.

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 8: Let me just see to be the one who points

50
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 8: it out, but it seems like it needs to get

51
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 8: pointed out. So are we not paying attention to the

52
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 8: majority of the videos as being shared about this flood

53
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 8: and the certain.

54
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: That's on the videos.

55
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Hopefully this is.

56
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 8: Opening up some eyes and showing people that he watches.

57
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 8: I don't matter who's watching, they're watching. They see you

58
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 8: as a person and what you're teaching your kids, and

59
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 8: how your children treat others, and how you treat others others,

60
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 8: and maybe y'all weren't the best of you know, helping

61
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 8: thy neighbor, unless they were still or the same.

62
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: As you.

63
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 6: Because I find it ironic that it was the deep

64
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: southeregn of Texas that it happened to we knew back

65
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 6: in the back, in the back, in the back, in

66
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 6: the days.

67
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 8: Where they used to do everything deep deep down in

68
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 8: the subject.

69
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if that was Sadie Perkins quote or not,

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 7: but what she said has also engendered quite a deal

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 7: of hatred, quite a deal of anger, should I say,

72
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 7: But I will say this, You can keep your eye

73
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 7: on these people, but for now, I think the takeaway

74
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 7: is to hold your children close, love them, love all

75
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 7: over them be grateful. I used the occasion yesterday, as

76
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 7: all this was going on, I needed to break because

77
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 7: I'm on all these lists of people tell them updating

78
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 7: meal on what's going on, and at some point it

79
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 7: was it was too much to handle.

80
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: So I went and watched the Houston Astros baseball game

81
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: with my dad in the afternoon.

82
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 7: He's eighty five, and it made me hold his hand

83
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 7: and think about how happy I was to be there.

84
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 4: You got to find some peace in the midst of

85
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: all that. Michael Very Show, Michael Very.

86
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 7: Show, I want to say a warm Michael Berry Show family,

87
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 7: Welcome to our newest affiliate in Corpus Christi, Texas in

88
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 7: South Texas, which I will tell you, if you want

89
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 7: to look at the hope for our country, look at

90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 7: the voting patterns in South Texas, an area that was

91
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 7: reliably Democrat going back one hundred years. Voters largely almost

92
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 7: exclusively Hispanic voters, multiple generation Texan Americans are leaving the

93
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 7: Democrat Party in droves and voting for Republicans. And I

94
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 7: will get Donald Trump a lot of credit for that,

95
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 7: because these are people who would say, as my father

96
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 7: said many years ago, I didn't leave the Democrat Party.

97
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 7: The Democrat Party left me. If you are a listener

Speaker 7: minutes or so, it's like a little little you know,

108
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 7: if you if you do your workout, you get to

109
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: breathe for a second or get a glass of water.

110
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 7: It's my little treat, It's my dessert. I read emails

Speaker 7: about the show, maybe what you don't like about the show.

114
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: Who turned you on to the show.

115
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 7: But for our listeners on news radio thirteen sixty kkt

116
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 7: X in Corpus Christy, we are honored, absolutely honored to

117
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 7: be on with you. So to Big Frank, Frank Franklin,

118
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 7: the third and the whole crew Brian Gan, all of you,

119
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 7: we're honored to be on your station. I want to

120
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: go back to what happened in Kerrville, Texas. Hunt in

121
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 7: this area prosper these camps. This was in particular, Camp Mystic.

122
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 7: These girls and the little girl who managed to survive.

123
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 7: Talks about the fact that they went to bed thinking

124
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 7: this was a normal thunderstorm, and having been having had

125
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 7: my house wiped out by Hurricane Harvey, which hit us

126
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 7: here in seventeen, having had my parents hit very hard

127
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 7: over the ten years before that, and having welcomed the

128
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 7: New Orleanians here after Katrina, I can tell you you

129
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,359
Speaker 7: don't simply defy the orders. You make good strategic decisions

130
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 7: based on the information at hand, and that's the case.

131
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 7: What made this situation so bad was how fast the

132
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 7: floodwaters rose. And that's what people can't understand. If you've

133
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 7: just watched bloodwaters rise at a normal rate and you go, well,

134
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 7: we better get out of here. It's not like you

135
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 7: sit around and say, well, the floodwaters are rising, we're

136
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 7: going to sit here.

137
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: By the time you know it's happening, it's too late.

138
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: We went to bed thinking it's just a normal thunderstorm.

139
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: Nowt one minute you see lightning strike. Next year, Kevin,

140
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: the next you you hear waters coming up, and you

141
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: have kids running just trying to get to other cabins,

142
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: trying to get to safety. And luckily my cabin was

143
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: one of a few cabins that did not get water,

144
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: but the cabins in front of us to get some water.

145
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: Even up on Senior Hill.

146
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 5: And I think John Back conveys to you how fast

147
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 5: the water came up and how high it came, and

148
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: how it was a one hundred year historic flash flood.

149
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 6: We had never seen anything like this.

150
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: And I cannot say enough about what these young counselors

151
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: did to calm these girls and to ensure their safety,

152
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: and with the men and the staff and the Eastland

153
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: family did to try to help everyone that they could.

154
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: They are heroes.

155
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 5: And those young girls and those young counselors that are

156
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 5: when our young girls were under for the summer, were

157
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 5: remarkable and we're brave and we're strong and saved so

158
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: many children and kept so many children calm so that

159
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 5: decisions could be made to keep other girls safe and

160
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 5: move them to Safety's.

161
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: A lot for a little girl to process. You'll never

162
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: forget this for the rest of your life.

163
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 7: That little girl recalls how other girls came to her

164
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 7: cabin because theirs were taking on water and hers was

165
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 7: a little higher up. Hers would eventually take on water

166
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 7: as well, but at that point hers was the safer

167
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 7: high ground.

168
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: So we heard one second, we just it is really

169
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: bad thunder, like we all. I woke up to a big,

170
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: giant status thunder and lightning striking we heard we had.

171
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: We had one of the campers run in and say, hey,

172
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: our cabin's flooding. And we had some cabins I knew.

173
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: Some girls slept on trunks that night. Some girls had

174
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: to share beds. Some girls slept on floors because they

175
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: couldn't go back to their cabin because it was so

176
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: It was so flooded in three cabins. And the next

177
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: morning we had some of the older girls went back

178
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: to their cabin seat they could find anything. I remember

179
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: one girl walked out with her bible and she was

180
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: so happy just to have her bible.

181
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

182
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 7: That little girl also recalls putting on her name tag

183
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 7: just in case she was carried away.

184
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: That's her dog tag.

185
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 7: That's effectively her She's preparing that when she's dead. She

186
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 7: wants them to be able to identify her. That's a

187
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 7: lot for a little girl.

188
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: I put on my name tag because I didn't. I

189
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: was scared that if waters coming out next to our

190
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: other cabins, that our cabin might be next. And I

191
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: just put it on just for safe keeping, saying in

192
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: my head of saying, if something.

193
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: Does happen, I do get stepped.

194
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: Away, at least I'll have my name on my body.

195
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: I want to say something about that as a parent.

196
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: My husband and I are both Department of Defense on

197
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: a retirement, and we have both spent many times in

198
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: war zones on behalf of this nation, and we have

199
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: spoken to our child more times than I can count

200
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: about how to keep your child safe in an environment.

201
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: This was not an environment we had ever thought we

202
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 5: would have to prepare her for. And that comment to

203
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 5: me as a parent when she got off that helicopter

204
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 5: and finally came into my arms and I saw this

205
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: name tag on her and it was the camp name

206
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: tag she was issued on the day she arrived. It

207
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: resonated with me that somewhere those little lessons that we

208
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 5: gave her as parents years ago and throughout her life

209
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: resonated with her in the Moments the.

210
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 4: Michael Berry Show. Michael Berry Show.

211
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 7: I like to give a local flavor when there's a

212
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 7: story based in Houston or in Texas, if I have

213
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 7: some inside information and connection in much the same way

214
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 7: that you would do if it happened in you're part

215
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 7: of the country.

216
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: Just a little local flavor.

217
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 7: So these two camps that were hit, Camp Lahunta where

218
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 7: all the boys survived, and Camp Missed It, where a

219
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 7: number of the girls passed.

220
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: We don't know.

221
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 7: There are still some missing, so I want to leave

222
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 7: that number open ended and pray for a miracle.

223
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: But it's not.

224
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 7: It wasn't just campers who were lost, and there's a

225
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 7: lot of damage that goes into there's the campers are

226
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 7: from outside the community, from Houston, Dallas, a lot of

227
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 7: them from Houston.

228
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: We know a lot of the folks that go to

229
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: these things and have for many years.

230
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 7: But there's a town there called Hunt, Texas, charming place

231
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 7: for people who want to get the heck away from

232
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: the hustle and bustle. So a lot of people from Houston, Dallas, Austin,

233
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 7: they come there. They buy a second home there or

234
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 7: rent a second home because it's a sleepy little town.

235
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 7: News for from San Anton. Talk to a resident of

236
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 7: the town by the name of I think it's Frank Stiffen,

237
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 7: and they stood outside of the central hub of the community,

238
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 7: which is the Hunt Store.

239
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: You gotta understand this.

240
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 7: This town is just the church and the store, and

241
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 7: I think there's like a bingo hall or something like that.

242
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 7: That's it and that's how they want it. And now

243
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 7: the Hunt Store, which is which is where everybody. You

244
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 7: go to buy your food. There, you go to dance, there,

245
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 7: you go to drink. There, you go to the music,

246
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 7: you go to gather and get the gossip. But it's

247
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 7: just a little town. That's what you do. It's a

248
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 7: tiny little town. And here is a resident just talking

249
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 7: about the storm and they don't have anything else.

250
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: You don't replace this, you don't go next door. This

251
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: was it.

252
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 9: We're outside the Hunt Store, which is a staple here

253
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 9: in the area. I'm with Frank Stefan. Tell me a

254
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 9: little bit about this area. I know you were an

255
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 9: emotional just talking about it. You grew up with this store.

256
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: I did.

257
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, my dad bought our wrench, which is right

258
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: down the road about three quarters of a mile in

259
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven. I grew up at the store, and

260
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: I used to drive my tractor up here to fill

261
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: it up with diesel fuel. It's gone. I mean the

262
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: buildings here as you can see, but it's just destroyed.

263
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Back here in the back. Three months ago, my new

264
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: wife and I were dancing on that dance floor to

265
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: one of our favorite bands. The post office is gone.

266
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 1: My family goes back here to eighteen ninety, had been

267
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: here over one hundred and thirty years. The family name

268
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: was Edwards, and my dad was here for the flood

269
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty two and the water got higher than

270
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: it did here, but or this flood, but it was

271
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: down river, and so this very well, maybe the worst

272
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: flood hunt has ever seen because it would have started

273
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: back up the South Fork. The devastation is unbelievable. How

274
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: these kids survived in any of these camps along the

275
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: river is nothing short of a miracle. But I did.

276
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I grew up with this store. I've known, Like I said.

277
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: I've danced here, I've been here, sat by the fireplace

278
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: in a rocking chair and drank of here.

279
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: The devastation.

280
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: There are just no words, Taylor that I can that

281
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I can say that that describe what I'm seeing my

282
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: ranch it was completely underwater or the water got that high. Uh,

283
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: It's just just unbelievable.

284
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 7: And this is what people in big cities will never understand.

285
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 7: The charm of a small town. People who liked the

286
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 7: slower pace of life, people who don't lock their doors,

287
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 7: people who when they drive past each other on the

288
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 7: road they lift up a finger to kind of wave

289
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 7: as you go by. That's the way of life. I

290
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 7: grew up with a way of life. We've always had

291
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: a week end place, my wife and I because we

292
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 7: love it. Because that that's how I keep my sanity

293
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 7: from the craziness of the big city. Here he is

294
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 7: talking about the the importance of that little store to

295
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 7: that little town and credit again News Force and in tone.

296
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Hut is a very small community and the people here

297
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: do know each other. The store was more than just

298
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: a store where you could go to buy staples and

299
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: a beer or a hamburger or whatever.

300
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: It was really a social meeting point. You know.

301
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun to come here and

302
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: eat and have dinner and visit with people.

303
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's you talking about how you just married your

304
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 9: You're way for a month ago and you're dancing in

305
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 9: here and now just emotional just seeing you know what

306
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 9: it looks like right now. I mean there's some deep

307
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 9: rooted memories in this building here for you guys.

308
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, there are.

309
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: We've only been married six weeks, so it's new for her,

310
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: but for me, it's a lifetime.

311
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: My summers were spent here, living.

312
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Here, and I really, you know, really enjoyed it. It's unbelievable, Taylor.

313
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: It's always say it's just unbelievable. It's just unbelievable.

314
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no words at this time. I mean your

315
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 9: post office, where do you guys go at this time?

316
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 9: How do you rebuild from this?

317
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: It's going to take a long time. I mean, you know,

318
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: this community is resilient. They will rebuild. It's not going

319
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: to be easy and it's not going to be short,

320
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: but you know, this will rebuild and all of this

321
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: trash will be gone, and the camps will hopefully rebuild

322
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: and you know, be a place where children can grow up.

323
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 7: It's hard for people to understand that ever lived that

324
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 7: kind of never lived that kind of life. They go

325
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 7: inside to survey the damage in this little town and

326
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: I play this more than anything else, so that you

327
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 7: get an appreciation for the charm of the little town

328
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 7: where this flood hit and the kind of people there.

329
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: You can't see now really, but right back in here,

330
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: right over here was the cashier's stand, and then this

331
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: all in here was where they had the staples. You

332
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: could buy chips for beers. You know, they had a

333
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: cooler back there over here you can see the fireplace.

334
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: In the winter time, they would light.

335
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: A fire and people could come in and have a

336
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: beer and sit around the fireplace and chat. Back this

337
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: way was the restaurant. There used to be a bank

338
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: right in here.

339
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: It's now an ice It was an ice dream stand.

340
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: But you know they had they had great burgers and steaks,

341
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: and it was just like I said, it was a

342
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: meeting place.

343
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: But as I look in here now, the.

344
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: Devastations beyond anything I can say. I mean, this is

345
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: this is how the rocks with stood it, and these

346
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: posts withstood it is a miracle, because I've seen I've

347
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: seen posts and everything bigger here this morning that did

348
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: not would stand the flood.

349
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 7: You know, storms come and go, droughts come and go,

350
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 7: tornadoes depend on where you live. Flooding is in our

351
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 7: part of the country, but some of you on our

352
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 7: West coast have earthquakes, and some of you in Tornado

353
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 7: Alley know that wildfires and everything else. And what I

354
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 7: take away from that is be prayerful, be grateful, and

355
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 7: keep your focus.

356
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: On what matters, which is your family, people closest to you,

357
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 4: because you're not looking.

358
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 7: For that phone screen when the end time's come, I

359
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 7: can guarantee.

360
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: You that the Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry.

361
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 7: Show, I want to finesse the point I'm trying to

362
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 7: make here a little more clearly. We've had a horrible

363
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: storm that killed some little girls, two of whom went

364
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 7: to school with my kids, some of whom are family

365
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 7: friends or friends of friends. So it hits home and

366
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 7: makes you hold your kids a little closer, and he

367
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 7: makes you realize, you know that this was not engaging

368
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 7: in an inherently dangerous behavior. Being at summer camp with

369
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 7: no phone, no internet, in a cabin that's been there

370
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 7: one hundred years would seem to be the safest thing

371
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 7: you could possibly do. You're not engaging in inherently risk

372
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 7: an inherent risk. You're not on a boat at a

373
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 7: high rate of speed, on a motorcycle, or you're not

374
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 7: jumping out of planes, you're not doing anything crazy, and

375
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 7: you shouldn't perish in that environment, right, That's that's what

376
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 7: that's what you feel. So at a number of folks

377
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 7: who were very angry at the types of things that

378
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 7: were being said about this, and there is an outrage

379
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 7: machine and you have to be careful. I'll tell you

380
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 7: a quick story to make my point with an analogy,

381
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 7: if you'll bear with me for a moment. So, my

382
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 7: wife's from India and growing up, her mother a doctor,

383
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 7: ran her clinic out of their house, and so the

384
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 7: house was like the old was like the movie theater.

385
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 7: We had an orange You walk up to the to

386
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 7: the box and what was that called. You walk up

387
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 7: to the box office, yep, walk up to the box

388
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 7: office and you'd tell them which movie you wanted and

389
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 7: they'd give you your ticket and you'd either go to

390
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 7: to the wing on the left or the wing on

391
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 7: the right. We had two theaters.

392
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 4: That was it. Little town.

393
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 7: So that was kind of how my wife's home was.

394
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 7: You'd come up to the front door and you'd either

395
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 7: or she'd come and open the door and you'd either

396
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 7: go to the left. She had hospital beds in there,

397
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 7: or you'd go to the right. And that's where the

398
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 7: family lived. They were out in the country, in the

399
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 7: in the foothills of the Himalaya uh Himalayas. And so

400
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 7: there was a fellow one day when my wife opened

401
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: the door as a little girl to go to school,

402
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 7: and he was standing there and his hand was just nubs,

403
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 7: had no fingers on it, and it was horrified and

404
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 7: my wife, you know, sort of recoiled and he explained

405
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 7: to her in the little native language of his community,

406
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 7: which she didn't speak, that he needed to see the doctor.

407
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 4: He was there for the doctor.

408
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 7: Well, this would apparently happen quite often because she was

409
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 7: the only doctor out in the village, and so they

410
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 7: would come overnight, sometimes from far distances to get to her,

411
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 7: and they would wait on the front porch because you

412
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 7: didn't dare wake up the doctor, and they would be

413
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 7: waiting there so that when the doctor woke up, they'd say, hey,

414
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 7: you know, I had this happen. I had this happen,

415
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 7: and she would immediately bring them in and start treating them.

416
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: So my wife goes off to school and she's very disturbed.

417
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 7: This guy has got open sores for fingers and just

418
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 7: nubs left her fingers. She came home and she says, Mom,

419
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 7: what in the world was that? And it turned out

420
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 7: that in this region they had no alcohol, had no hoots,

421
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 7: no moonshine, and so they wanted a hieh. And there

422
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 7: was a certain type of snake they had cobras, but

423
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 7: I don't think it was a cobra, and they knew

424
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 7: where the snakes lived. So these very poor villagers, the

425
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 7: most strung out of them all would put their hand

426
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 7: down into the hole and the snake would bite. And

427
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 7: that snake venom had the effect of inebriation intoxication, but

428
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 7: when the fingers weren't treated, they would lose them. These

429
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 7: are people that did. You can't imagine, you know, being

430
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 7: this strong hand look like the streets of San Francisco.

431
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 4: And she said, what struck.

432
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 7: Me was that despite losing all their fingers, they still

433
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 7: put their hand down in there.

434
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 4: They still needed that hit.

435
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 7: And I guess what I would say is, as much

436
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 7: as I would like to spend the show pointing out

437
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 7: what Dana Bash said and did, what George Stephanoppolis said

438
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 7: and did what Joe Scarborough said and did, and maybe

439
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: we will tomorrow. I just can't today. And I would

440
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 7: tell you this, for as angry as those people make

441
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 7: us all and as mad as we get over them

442
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 7: aiming Trump and the big beautiful bill and budget cuts

443
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 7: and think none of which had anything to do with it.

444
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 7: Channel the positive energy. Make a donation to the Community

445
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 7: Foundation of Kerr County, Make a donation to the church

446
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 7: there in town. Do something positive, Write a nice message

447
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 7: to someone from that community. You find somebody on Facebook

448
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 7: and just say hey, we're praying for you. Do something

449
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 7: positive for that community and feel good about that and

450
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 7: make someone else feel good. That is a more productive

451
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 7: use of your time. Because I'm going to tell you

452
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 7: right now, no matter what happens in this country, if

453
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 7: you want to see a stupid liberals saying a stupid

454
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 7: thing so that you can put your hand in there

455
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 7: and that snake bite you because you need that intoxication,

456
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 7: you will never be disappointed. That bottle has no bottom,

457
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 7: You will never run dry. There will always be someone

458
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 7: else willing to step up if AOC is taking the

459
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 7: day off of being stupid. Ilhan Omar step up. Jasmine

460
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 7: Crockett will step up. Nancy Pelosi will step up. There'll

461
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 7: be somebody on CNN, there will be somebody on MSNBC,

462
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 7: and they will be only too eager to be the

463
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 7: quote of the day as the stupidest thing said. And

464
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 7: if you need that on a day to day basis,

465
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 7: you will never grow weary. Will that river will never

466
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 7: run dry. But at some point we have to ask ourselves,

467
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 7: are are they living in our heads rent free? Because

468
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: on a day where some little girls died through no

469
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 7: fault of their own or anyone else's, and we're mad

470
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 7: at Dana Bash or George Stephanopoulos or Joe Scarborough or

471
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 7: fill in the blank, then maybe you have to ask yourself,

472
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 7: who's really in control of my thoughts? Who's really in

473
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 7: control of the direction of my life? Can you imagine

474
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 7: if Trump let them control him like that, he'd have

475
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 7: a permanent scowl. He could never do anything positive, He

476
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 7: could never bring solace to a grieving family, he could

477
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 7: never provide leadership, he could never inspire. Because you have

478
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 7: to learn that when you're doing something good, the liberals

479
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 7: are out wishing for you to fail and claiming that

480
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 7: and when you are suffer, the liberals are cheering and

481
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 7: saying this is the result of you being an evil

482
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 7: maga person and you should fail, and you have to

483
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 7: decide that my life is more meaningful than simply being

484
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 7: the reaction agent of crazy people out there playing a

485
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 7: game and getting media attention because they get paid for it.

486
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 7: You don't find joy in your life, find happiness in

487
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 7: your life.

488
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:28,920

00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 7: hug them tight.

491
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: You might not be here tomorrow.
