1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: I had on American Sunrise. Texas continues recovering from devastating

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: floods in Kirk County, and the deatholl continues to rise.

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: We'll have the very latest throughout the show.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Plus, it is another full day for President Trump as

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: he's scheduled to sign new executive orders and host Israeli

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin nettan Yahoo at the White House. Ahead,

Speaker 1: we'll look into what to expect from today's meeting, and

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Elon Musk forms a new political party. As you can imagine,

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: President Trump has plenty to say about it. We'll have

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: those stories and so much more right now on American Sunrise.

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: Good morning, America.

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 4: Welcome to American Sunrise.

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's culture.

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: We have breaking news to share with you.

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: Politics.

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: We've got your couple.

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 5: This is what it.

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: Looks like to be a patriot, Mayor.

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: We have to protect the American family.

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: The American dream is still alive.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and.

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: I'm doctor Tina.

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 6: Good morning everybody. I'm doctor Gina. We are live with

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 6: you from the Pump Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 6: He's in Washington, DC. Terrence Base in our Denver newsroom.

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 6: Good morning, gentlemen, it's not a good morning. I think

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 6: our hearts are hurting. I think our hearts are so

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 6: close to the victims. I think so many of us

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 6: can relate. We all went to camp, we all have

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 6: our families have all camp, you know.

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 7: I mean, it's always it's it's just you.

33
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 6: Can relate to sort of the shock and despair that

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 6: those families are experiencing right now.

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 7: David Brody, No, I.

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: Mean I can't imagine. I can't imagine. And we'll get

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: into all of the details, but you know, right now,

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: let's put the details aside and just look, our human

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: brains have limited capacity to understand things like this, and

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: so we're going to get into the faith aspect of

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: this a little later on. But the truth of the

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: matter is that we're not going to know the answers,

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: probably this side of heaven, and we just need to

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: rest in that and understand that and build our faith

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: through that. I say our faith because it's the folks

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: down in Texas for sure, first and foremost, but tragedy

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: affects all of us. And you know, look, my daughter

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 3: has cancer, she's twenty three years old. My father had

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: the same cancer, my grandmother did, my grandfather did, my

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: sister did. I did not. My twenty three year old

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: daughter just finished chemotherapy. She does have it. So you

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: don't know. And it's okay to say, what the heck, God,

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: what the heck? That's okay. Look at job in the Bible,

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: so we can get into a lot of that later on.

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: But our hearts and when we say prayers literally are

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: prayer go out to them. And you know what, prayer works,

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: whether or not you feel it in the moment, it

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: does work. But there's nothing flowery to say right now

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: to Bates right now, No.

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: I'll just add to that, prayer does work.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: And God is listening, whether he answers your prayers the

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: way you want him to or not, he is listening,

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: and his decisions, his choices, how he decides to handle

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: your situation is always the right way because He is

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: in control. And doctor Gene, I think we should just

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: leave it there and go straight to our Bible verse.

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the most appropriate course forward.

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, just interesting.

69
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 6: Note that this week my Bible study was on hearing

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 6: the Voice of God, which I never spent a lot

71
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 6: of time focusing on Once you do it, it is

72
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 6: just like a whole new world. I never really thought

73
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: about it as much as I thought about it this week.

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 7: Today's Bible verses.

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 6: From Luke one to seventy nine to give light to

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 6: those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 6: to guide our feet into the way of peace. Certainly

78
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 6: a nice calming verse. There are so many, though, that

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 6: will speak just directly to you.

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 7: And the most.

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 6: Beautiful thing I love about the Bible, and someone said

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: this to me again this week, is no matter how

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 6: many times you read it, no matter how many times

84
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: you've read a certain verse, when God decides to speak

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 6: to you through a verse in.

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 7: A new way, you will hear it like you've never

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 7: heard it.

88
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 6: You'll hear parts of it and be like, I know

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 6: that was in there before, but I never heard the

90
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 6: voice of God in it. And I think that's one

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: of the most amazing parts. So we will all pray

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 6: the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts

93
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: and their minds in Christ Jesus as they face these

94
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 6: terrible tragedies. As we've been reporting, at least eighty people

95
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: have been killed in the Texas floods. CNN reporting that

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 6: a warning system was proposed back in twenty sixteen four floods,

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 6: but it was reportedly never installed. Although some are saying, look,

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 6: it wouldn't matter. This just happened so so fast. Authorities

99
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 6: continuing rescue operations. GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren had this message

100
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 6: on social media. She said, I went to care for

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 6: ten years on the Guadalupe River, just a couple of

102
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 6: miles down the road from Camp Mystic. This tragedy hits

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 6: close to home since there are tons there's tons of

104
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 6: information flying around. Here's what I'm hearing from friends and

105
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 6: family in the area and with the children at the camps.

106
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 6: Camp Mystic Excuse Me, is an all girls Christian camp

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 6: on the Guadalupe River opened in nineteen twenty six and

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 6: has been run by the same family since the nineteen thirties.

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 7: Caroline Wren joins us.

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 8: Now.

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 6: Now, Caroline, I didn't know this about you. You and

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 6: I are friends and talk a lot back channel, but

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 6: this is something that I think every American can relate to.

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 6: There's something in the American experience that helps us. You know,

115
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 6: we've all seen the floods, most of us have gone

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 6: to camp or had some part in a camp, but

117
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 6: it rings really true to something in the American fabric.

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 7: What can you tell us about.

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 6: The things you're hearing from the people you know on

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 6: the ground.

121
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 9: Well, for me, this on the morning of July fourth,

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 9: and I looked at my Facebook and started seeing a

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 9: couple of people posts, please.

124
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 10: Anyone can you help me?

125
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 9: My best friend's daughter is missing. And it was one,

126
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 9: then two, then three a posts like that. They were

127
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 9: the most horrific, terrifying things to see. And as that day,

128
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 9: you know, when along we saw what happened to unfold.

129
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 9: And I think it's hard to explain to people, especially

130
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 9: a lot of the media covering this. You know, these

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 9: are New York City elites. They've never been to the

132
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 9: Texas Hill Country. It's probably the most beautiful area, I

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 9: think in this country. It is very rugged and it

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 9: is home to a tremendous number of summer camps. There

135
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 9: are five summer camps there that are pretty large, about

136
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 9: seven hundred kids attend, and they're also long. When I

137
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 9: started at Camp Waldemar, i was eight years old and

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 9: you go for a month, and that's the same with

139
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 9: Camp Mystic which is right down the road. They're both

140
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 9: all girls camps. They are absolutely beautiful. People don't realize too.

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 9: I mean, your parents have to put you on a

142
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 9: wait list when you're born to go to these camps,

143
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 9: and it is the most uplifting, life changing experience you

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 9: can have being having the privilege to go. And so

145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 9: for these parents to have to go through this, it's

146
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 9: really just terrifying. But kind of understanding more of what

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 9: happened at these camps I.

148
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 10: Think is important.

149
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 9: First of all, the just historic level of water that

150
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 9: came in the middle of the night. I can't even

151
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 9: imagine your first day of camp. You are actually trained

152
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 9: on if a flash flood comes, and I remember we

153
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 9: always hated this part of camp because you're ten years old.

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 9: You're ready to just go, you know, jump on the

155
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 9: river or play soccer, and so they train you exactly

156
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 9: where to go.

157
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 10: But this hit at four o'clock in the morning. The

158
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 10: river rose almost.

159
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 9: Forty feet in two hours. So can you imagine being

160
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 9: the one to make the call to wake up and

161
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 9: move seven hundred and fifty children at three am in

162
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 9: the pitch black, in the middle of a trential downpour.

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 10: I don't know how to make that call.

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 9: And in nineteen eighty seven a similar thing happened in

165
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 9: this exact area with the camp. They made the call

166
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 9: to evacuate the about four hundred kids from the camp.

167
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 9: One of the buses during the evacuation.

168
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 10: These are all.

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 9: Really small rural roads leading in and out of these camps,

170
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 9: going over bridges. Well, the bridge got overwhelmed with water

171
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 9: and that school bus filled with forty three kids washed away.

172
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 9: Ten of those kids died, thirty three others were plucked

173
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 9: out of the river. So making the decision to put

174
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 9: everyone into buses, and you're talking about thousands of children

175
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 9: that are all in this region during this, you know,

176
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 9: two months of time of the summer, where are you

177
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 9: even bussing them to. So this was a horrific freak

178
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 9: accident at Camp Mystick, which is where we have sadly,

179
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 9: you know, missing twenty seven children and counselors. Dick Eastland,

180
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 9: his family has owned that camp since nineteen thirty. He

181
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 9: is a wonderful man and he actually he died trying

182
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 9: to save the lives of those campers. And from what

183
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 9: we can tell, all the campers that are missing from

184
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 9: Camp Mystick, they were in two cabins, and I was

185
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 9: just reading an article from Dick Eastland's son. He went

186
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 9: down there with his father to go try and rescue

187
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 9: these kids, and he said what he saw, he can't

188
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 9: even imagine it.

189
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 11: There was a.

190
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 9: Literal whirlpool that formed between these two kids cabins that

191
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 9: sucked all of those children in, including his father. And

192
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 9: that is something. I mean, this is fifteen feet above

193
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 9: water levels where these cabins were. So I know, before

194
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 9: we're all judging the camps or others, just understand how

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 9: rare this flood was, how awful this whole thing is,

196
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 9: and just be praying and praying and praying for these families.

197
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 10: I cannot imagine what they could be going through.

198
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unbelievable and unimaginable for so many of US.

199
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: President Trump set to head to that region on Friday

200
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: to try to offer comfort. And it seems to me

201
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: in moments like this, sometimes just the presence of a

202
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: commander in chief or of someone can at least ease

203
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: for a moment some of the suffering. It doesn't take

204
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: it away, it obviously doesn't reverse anything, but the presence

205
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: at least shows that someone cares.

206
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 9: Yes, I'm thrilled he is going, and I was very

207
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 9: glad that Secretary Nome went there. I think her presence

208
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 9: was very welcome. She seemed to take a very commanding

209
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 9: lead while on the ground. I think people are very

210
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 9: pleased with the Texas officials who have stepped up as well.

211
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 9: And you know, as we look towards well, what are

212
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 9: some things that we can thank God for.

213
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 10: There's a camp about two.

214
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 9: Miles downstream from Camp Mystic called Camp Part of the Hills.

215
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 9: It's also an all girls camp with similar about seven

216
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 9: hundred campers. They were between terms. Those campers were set

217
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 9: to arrive July sixth yesterday. Can you imagining a parent

218
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 9: and thinking like, if your kid had just been there

219
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 9: two days earlier, what could have happened? And instead they're

220
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 9: home with you in your bed, you would be praying

221
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 9: and thanking God so much. The owner of that camp,

222
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 9: Jane Ragsdale, she was beloved. She passed away in the

223
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 9: floods going to try and rescue. The counselors had already

224
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 9: arrived to prepare for the kid's arrival just two days

225
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 9: from then. She went down there to try and rescue

226
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 9: and warn the counselors. So this was, you know it,

227
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 9: we can thank god that there was no campers there.

228
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 9: A little bit about four more miles downstream was another camp,

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 9: Camp Lahunta, is the All boys camp. That is where

230
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 9: you've seen just harrowing tales of counselors keep by. These

231
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 9: counselors are seventeen eighteen, nineteen year old stories about them

232
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 9: pulling kids out of the cabin through the windows, floating

233
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 9: out of their mattresses. And miraculously every child at that

234
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 9: camp survived.

235
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 10: And so there are things to be.

236
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 9: Thankful for, but there are certainly things that make you think,

237
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 9: oh God, how could you do this and why? But

238
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 9: you know, let's I like to focus on both the

239
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 9: good and the tragedy.

240
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, in Caroline, we have about thirty seconds or so everybody,

241
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: you know, start to talking about the warning systems and

242
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: all that. But I mean it's very rural up there.

243
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: I mean, this is not an easy place to necessarily

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: get signals at all times.

245
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 9: No, and it has come out now that the NWS

246
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 9: warnings that they were accurate and timely, and that it

247
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 9: was accurately staffed. Right, but understanding this region, no NWS

248
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 9: radar can observe rapidly rising water there are not enough

249
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 9: people out at four am to monitor every mile of

250
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 9: the river and every low water crossing. And most importantly,

251
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 9: there's no way to war alert every individual or business,

252
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 9: most of them asleep to danger that was charging rapidly

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 9: down the river. And to say that the county to

254
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 9: ask them to build a mile by mile monitoring system

255
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 9: and a separate mile by mile alerting system, you were

256
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 9: looking at an eight to nine figure expense given how expansive,

257
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 9: remote and rugged this area is. So these are not

258
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 9: that realistic of things. This was a once in five

259
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 9: hundred year flood, truly, and we've never had anything like

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 9: this on record. And so to say that people, oh,

261
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 9: you should have been prepared, how do you prepare for

262
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 9: once in five hundred year flood?

263
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 10: And it is I think we need to let.

264
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 9: Some more time happen, let these families grieve, and then

265
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 9: of course there should be an after action report.

266
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 10: But everyone I think is jumping the gun on that.

267
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're like the Bible says, there's a season for everything,

268
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 6: and this is not the time to come in and

269
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 6: everybody blame. I agree with you, Caroline. Our hearts and

270
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 6: prayers are so with all of those affected Thank you

271
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 6: so much for sharing your very personal insight here. We

272
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: appreciate it, and everybody.

273
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 10: Involved thank you for having me.

274
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:03,920

285

289
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: t Baate standing by with the latest headlines from the

290
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: Real America's Voice newsroom, sponsored by AMAC.

291
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 12: The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice

292
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,720

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 12: values that you hold dear and joined today together we

294
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 12: could write the course of America.

295
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: It's a big week for US trade, as President Trump

296
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: says he is expecting finalization of several trade agreements in

297
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: the coming days. The Commander in chief also saying other

298
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: countries will be notified of higher tariff rates by Wednesday.

299
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 13: President Trump's going to be sending letters to some of

300
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 13: our trading partners, saying that if you don't move things along,

301
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 13: then on August first, you will boomerang back to your

302
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 13: April second tariff level. So I think we're going to

303
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 13: see a lot of deals very quickly.

304
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: The President also expected to send letters to a hundred

305
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: smaller countries with whom the US doesn't have much trade

306
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: and notify them that they'll face higher teriff rates starting

307
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: in August as well. In most cases, countries will face

308
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: at least a ten percent based terraff rate unless they

309
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: reach an agreement with the Trump administration laying out different terms.

310
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: A federal Bench trial set to get under way today

311
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: related to a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's policies seeking

312
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: to arrest and deport immigrant faculty and students who are

313
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: participating in or have participated in pro Hamas demonstrations and

314
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: other anti Semitic activities. The suit was filed by several

315
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: university organizations and accuses the administration of supplying names the

316
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: universities of people they want to target. The Justice Department

317
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: argues the case as a quote misunderstanding of the First Amendment, which,

318
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: under binding Supreme Court precedent, applies differently in the immigration

319
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: context than it otherwise does domestically. Will of course monitor

320
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: today's hearing and update you of any resolution. The death

321
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: told from flash flooding in central Texas is hovering around

322
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: eighty people at the moment, but it could rise throughout

323
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: the coming days. Many of the dead were attending an

324
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: all girls summer camp when floodwaters tore through the cabins.

325
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,239
Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott says forty one people are unaccounted

326
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: for across the state and more could be missing. Kerr

327
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: County is dealing with the most deaths, as officials there

328
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: are reporting sixty eight deaths, including.

329
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: Twenty eight children.

330
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Forecasters say heavy rain is expected to last into tomorrow

331
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: and could produce even more life threatening flooding during the

332
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: first thirty six hours following the storm, officials rescued more

333
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: than eight hundred and fifty people. That's a quick check

334
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: of your headlines. I'll have more headlines coming your way shortly,

335
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: including Senate Republicans and Democrats have vastly different ways of

336
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: handling Mexico's drug cartels. Find out what's actually being done though,

337
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: And next, a live report from Texas on the response

338
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: to the catastrophic and deadly flooding. Mail right now, though,

339
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: a quick look at this day in history. It was

340
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: on this date in eighteen ninety eight the Congress annexed

341
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: to Hawaii through a joint resolution signed by President William McKinley.

342
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: The islands then became a territory in nineteen hundred, which

343
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: led the way for Hawaiian statehood in nineteen fifty nine.

344
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: We're back in a.

345
00:17:35,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: Moment, Dallas, Texas, on a Monday morning, July seventh, twenty

346
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: twenty five, here on American Sunrise. Welcome back to the show.

347
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 3: Now to the devastating situation in Texas As. Rescue and

348
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: recovery efforts from the deadly flooding in Kirk County continue

349
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: this morning. At least eighty people have been confirmed dead,

350
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: that number expected to rise. Rav has been on the

351
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: ground throughout these tragic times. Over the weekend here some

352
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: of our reporting. Take a look.

353
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 14: Be a horrible tragedy down in Texas.

354
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 15: Day Louge a brain. It came in hard and fast.

355
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 15: What that resulted in was a deadly cresting.

356
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 14: Then a matter of minutes it was up to twenty

357
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 14: nine feet.

358
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 16: Is nothing short of biblical.

359
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 17: I'm asking the people of Texas do some serious praying

360
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 17: this afternoon.

361
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 12: This is like a major hurricane.

362
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 15: The Camp Mystic Christian camp kids camped out for the

363
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 15: fourth of July.

364
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 16: Twenty six feet and forty five minutes. Is that possible?

365
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 15: You know that is possible. We got six confirmed fatalities.

366
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 15: I pray that that does not increase.

367
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 17: If they're alive, and say, we will find out and

368
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 17: bring them home to you.

369
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 16: They're follow not stopping.

370
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 14: Will America's voice also a weather nation.

371
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 18: This is right downtown Curville. When you see just trees

372
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 18: snap like twigs, go pray, pray, pray for this community.

373
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 18: Today will be a hard day.

374
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 14: The town manager comes up and says it's going to

375
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 14: be a very tough day to day.

376
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 16: I think that's a tell.

377
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 14: We've got people running to the sound of the guns

378
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 14: to find these children, to rescue them.

379
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 15: Over two hundred and sixty rescues yesterday.

380
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 18: This is a positive note.

381
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 19: Obviously, you recovered twenty seven deceased fatalities at this time.

382
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: I have with a eight nine year old camp and

383
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: a couple of the camp buildings were swept away.

384
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 18: There are still twenty seven missing from Camp Mystic.

385
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 16: Back on your knee, Sam, prayer.

386
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: Speak one one one again.

387
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 10: There was no people.

388
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 18: This kind of stuff really reminds you of what's really important.

389
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 18: These communities all coming together. This is what America is

390
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 18: all about.

391
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 16: Sich.

392
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 20: So young people have died. We'll take care of what

393
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 20: working working with the governor. We're working with the govern

394
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 20: it's a terrible thing.

395
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 21: We are going to address everybody's concern and there is

396
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 21: extraordinary collaboration.

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 8: We're finding people as fast as possible, and we're returning

398
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 8: them to their families.

399
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 17: The city officials here immediately sprung into action.

400
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 18: We will rescue those in peril and we will find

401
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 18: those who are missing.

402
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 15: We're all working together, we're all communicating, and we will

403
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 15: not stop.

404
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 22: You can go back and look at your own forecast

405
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 22: and the amount of brain that fell at this specific

406
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 22: location was never at any of those forecasts.

407
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 5: You're all immediate.

408
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 22: You got that forecast, it did not predict the amount

409
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 22: of brain that we saw.

410
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 23: My thanks to President Trump and Secretary Knowme for responding

411
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 23: so quick.

412
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 5: We still have work to do.

413
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 14: We're still prayerful, we're still hopeful.

414
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 22: I also have volunteers all over this county that do

415
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 22: the job for free, that we're out there working to

416
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 22: save lives, many times putting their own lives and their

417
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 22: property at risk.

418
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:19,240

00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 8: Our first responders are rock stars and heroes what they do,

424
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 8: and they're exhausted. They've been doing this now for several

425
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 8: days and it's not going to end any time.

Speaker 18: see miracles happen. I pray for your hand on this community,

Speaker 3: RAV correspondent and the host of Law and Border Ben

437
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: Burkwam has been in the thick of it all weekend long.

438
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: He joins us now from Curville, Texas, about an hour

439
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: northwest of San Antonio. Ben, I don't even really know

445
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 18: it's it's hard to describe. It's hard to quantify. If

446
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 18: you haven't seen raging rivers, if you haven't seen a

447
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 18: tidal wave of water and what that can do, it's

448
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 18: it's just hard to imagine. And the devastation, you know,

449
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 18: as a dad of three young.

450
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: Girls, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

451
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 18: Your heart just breaks. It just break for the community.

452
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: And so.

453
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 18: That's just my biggest thing is just keep praying, keep

454
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 18: praying for this community.

455
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 24: I don't know how you put that back together.

456
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 18: I don't know how when you lose all of your

457
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 18: children or one of your children, where you go from there.

458
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 18: And I know you know sadly, it's just a part

459
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 18: of life sometimes, but it's the worst part. And so

460
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 18: I yeah, just keep praying. I'll show you what's behind me.

461
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 18: This is one of the main bridges in town. Is

462
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 18: behind the trees off in the distance. I'll get out

463
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 18: of the shot here and then if you look down here,

464
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 18: this is one of the dams in the city and

465
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 18: it held.

466
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 24: There's another dam at the bottom side.

467
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 18: But I want to show you so off in the

468
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 18: distance there is still some wreckage. We were actually going

469
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 18: through that wreckage yesterday. There was a car trapped underneath

470
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 18: it and they thought there might have been somebody in it,

471
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 18: so they I was there when they pulled it out. Thankfully,

472
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 18: there was no one inside the vehicle. But there was

473
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 18: another van up the river that is believed to be

474
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 18: owned by a family that's missing, and I was there

475
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 18: when they searched that van. As well, and the family

476
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 18: was not in it that they were believed to have

477
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 18: washed downstream. But if you just look right here, if

478
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 18: I just pointed down at the bottom, there's a massive tree,

479
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 18: and then there's a tire that's in the water as

480
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 18: it goes over the waterfall, and you could just see

481
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 18: that vortex of water how it sucks.

482
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 24: It back in.

483
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 18: In areas like this, you know, a human body, even

484
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 18: a vehicle, has no chance to swim out of something

485
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 18: like that. And so, and this is low water. Where

486
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 18: I'm standing was actually right at the water line. We're

487
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 18: about just over twenty five feet above the water line.

488
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 18: So imagine that raging torrent up where I'm standing right now.

489
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 18: And at five o'clock in the morning, you know, on

490
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 18: the fourth of July, you're anticipating. Actually all the wreckage

491
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 18: that's behind me over there was set up for the

492
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 18: Fourth of July fireworks that they have here every year,

493
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 18: they have a band and a concert. All of that

494
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 18: washed out, and so it was just the it was

495
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 18: the worst possible set of variables at the worst time.

496
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 18: And when you heard in that video they're talking about

497
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 18: the amount of rainfall anticipated predicted, you know, four to

498
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 18: six inches in some areas, over fifteen inches of rain fell,

499
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 18: and so it's you just, you know, there's no way

500
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 18: to prepare for that when it happens that fast.

501
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 24: You know, people are calling for.

502
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 18: You know, the mainstream media is talking about, well, why

503
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 18: was it their early advanced warning? And you know, that's

504
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 18: a decent question to say, why aren't there sirens? We

505
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 18: have tornado sirens, Why don't we have flood sirens. There's

506
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 18: a lot of questions that can be asked, but right

507
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 18: now the biggest issue is finding the potentially recovering or

508
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 18: rescuing those that are still alive. You know, we're seventy

509
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 18: two hours into this thing. Typically you're going to find

510
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 18: the ones that are alive in that time period. The

511
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 18: rest will be recoveries. And that's what the law enforcement

512
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 18: and first responders are spending their time on. And they've

513
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 18: been it twenty four to seven the last three days.

514
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 18: They're NonStop. They're not sleeping. These guys are just they're

515
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 18: they're working their butts off, and I just again, just

516
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 18: lift them up in your prayers, lift the community up

517
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 18: in your prayers, and especially the children that lost parents

518
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 18: and the parents that lost children. Just just pray pray, pray, pray.

519
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 18: We need the Lord, his peace, his guidance and all

520
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 18: of this.

521
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: Yes, we sure do. Ben, We've got less in a minute,

522
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: maybe thirty seconds. Any sense on the ground there that

523
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: they might find any survivors. Are they losing hope? I mean,

524
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: you know how this is an ongoing process, and boy,

525
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 3: we just we want to see someone that has survived this,

526
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: that you know, stranded like we need the country needs

527
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: that right now. Gosh, it would be great to find

528
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: someone that survived this.

529
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 18: Well they did, in fact, over twenty four hours they

530
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 18: found two girls. It was, you know, almost two days

531
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 18: into it. They found two girls hanging from a tree

532
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 18: thirty feet up in the air that had been washed

533
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 18: several miles downstream. And it was nothing but the hand

534
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 18: of God that saved them. So there are miracles that

535
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 18: are happening in this, and we continue to pray for

536
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 18: more law enforcement. They haven't lost hope. But in general,

537
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 18: in these types of situations, the seventy two hour mark

538
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 18: is typically that that window you know, if somebody's going

539
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 18: to survive. You know, even out here, if you're hanging

540
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 18: in a tree, you can die of dehydration over that

541
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 18: period of time. And if you're you know, not in

542
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 18: a tree, you're typically somewhere where you can try to

543
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 18: get rescue. But it's possible, it's possible that there's you know,

544
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 18: people that have washed up on shore somewhere. They've got

545
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 18: broken limbs, they can't call for help, you know. And

546
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 18: I promise you the rescuers are doing everything they can.

547
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 18: They've got every resource, every asset. They've got as many

548
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 18: helicopters as they can have in the sky, they've got

549
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 18: as many boats as they can have in the water.

550
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 18: They have as many men on the ground, men and

551
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 18: women on the ground, searching every co owner of the shore.

552
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 18: And as the water recedes, they continue to come inward.

553
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 18: So they're doing everything possible. And that's our prayer that

554
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 18: if there are survivors still out there, that they will

555
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 18: be found today. They'll be found now, and we'll have

556
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 18: updates on that. We're anticipating another press conference in the

557
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 18: next couple hours, probably closer to the ten o'clock Local

558
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 18: time eleven o'clock Eastern time, and we'll get an update

559
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 18: at that point.

560
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Ben, we'll check back with you later in the show.

561
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: You know, David and Job and they all cried out

562
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: in grief, and you know it's okay to go to

563
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 3: God and be angry and be frustrated, but know that

564
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: he's on the throne. Ben, Thank you appreciate that. And

565
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: then all right, we're gonna have more American Sunrise in

566
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: two minutes to grind everybody.

567
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 6: Hi, welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm back to gen

568
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 6: Thank you for joining us. It is time now for

569
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 6: today's health news that is sponsored by the Wellness Company.

570
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: Under this microscope today breakthroughs and improving our hearing. Scientists

571
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 6: in Sweden have been testing a new gene.

572
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 7: Therapy to improve hearing.

573
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 6: It was reportedly a small trial originally, but what they've

574
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 6: found was that injecting the gene otof improved hearing in

575
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 6: just weeks. The trial included people who had a genetic

576
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 6: mutation from the gene and it caused efficiencies in protein,

577
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 6: so that therapy reportedly worked better in children, but it's

578
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 6: also effective in adults. The average decibel level for hearing

579
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 6: sound improved drastically and just a merre amount of months,

580
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 6: so very exciting. Don't forget to get your hearing addressed.

581
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 6: By the way, if you're having any hearing problems because

582
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: their new studies are also finding that lack of hearing

583
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: can lead to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, So

584
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 6: you want to make sure you have you're hearing. A

585
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 6: new administration in Washington, DC brought a lot of positive

586
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 6: changes when it came to fixing our healthcare system, but

587
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 6: the reality that there's only so much government can do.

588
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: And if you really want to make America healthy again,

607
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: Ay Gina appreciate it. All right. Now, let's talk about ICE,

608
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: and they had a busy fourth of July. Reports that

609
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: ICE carried out operations in California. Officials say more than

610
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred people were apprehended in southern California alone. They're

611
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: now getting set to be deported in response to all

612
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: of this. Protests broke out over the weekend. Of course

613
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: they did for more. Let's bring in retired Navy captain

614
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: and GOP strategist Arman Curdian Armen. So the one Big

615
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill is now one big beautiful law, and that

616
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: means a lot as it relates a lot of money

617
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: as relates to immigration enforcement. So we're talking about my goodness,

618
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: I have the stats here, learn me just go to it.

619
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: Forty five billion dollars, another one hundred billion dollars to

620
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 3: supercharge the mass deportation. So we're looking at close to

621
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty billion dollars. So what does that

622
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: look like in America going forward, because we're talking about

623
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: a boatload of cash. Tom Homan very happy this morning.

624
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 25: Good morning, David, Doctor Gina. Well, certainly, it's going to

625
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 25: help pay for a lot more ICE agents. It's going

626
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 25: to help for the enforcement and the transportational logistic of

627
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 25: moving these people in and out of the country. I'm

628
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 25: going to venture to guests at some of that money

629
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 25: that Trump had suggested for, like say, hey, we'll give

630
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 25: you a thousand dollars if you self deport, you know,

631
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 25: leave the country for three years, and then maybe you

632
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 25: can try yourself to come back in again. So it

633
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 25: gives ICE and Department of Homeland Security a lot more

634
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 25: options in or to make sure a lot of these

635
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 25: criminals and these folks who've come across the border improperly

636
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 25: are sent back to their home nations, and perhaps for

637
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 25: those who really do want to take a part of

638
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 25: the American dream, give them a chance to start again.

639
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 7: I'm in Senate.

640
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats have different proposals to stop drug cartel violence,

641
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 6: which is a pervasive problem.

642
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 7: As you know.

643
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 6: I was Senator Johnny Joni Ernst called for law enforcement

644
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 6: to handle it and praise them for putting their lives

645
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 6: on the line to keep us safe.

646
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 7: Illinois Senator Dick.

647
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 6: Durban blamed the firearm industry and added that gun dealers

648
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 6: are selling guns to the cartels.

649
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 7: I don't know.

650
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 6: You know, I've gone into gun shops to buy guns,

651
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 6: and I can tell you what they put you through.

652
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 6: I guarantee t you some cartel member could not get through.

653
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 7: So what do you make of this.

654
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 25: Doctor Gina. I have a time machine right here. Let's

655
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 25: step back fifteen years and go to Operation Loan Star,

656
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 25: and let's see what Dick Durbin has to say about

657
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 25: the government selling guns to cartels. So I will say

658
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 25: absolutely if there are gun manufacturers that are I would

659
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 25: I would assume accidentally selling guns to cartels or members.

660
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 25: I think that's absolutely fair to take a look to

661
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 25: make sure that those guns don't fall into the hands

662
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 25: of people that we don't want them to.

663
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: But at the same time, let's let's let's be honest.

664
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 25: About what we've done in the past in terms of

665
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 25: thiss goovernment and selling selling guns to the cartels. It's

666
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 25: it goes back to what root cause analysis is. What

667
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 25: is you know, what is gun violence? Is it because

668
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 25: guns are out there? Or is it because that we

669
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 25: have a six society, that people have mental health issues

670
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 25: and have devalued life so much that they're going out

671
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 25: and committing these gun crimes. That's not the fault of

672
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 25: the gun industry. Let's maybe this fault of this country

673
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 25: and US as a nation, and it's a society for

674
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 25: not taking care of our people and not really understanding

675
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 25: what's going on. And hopefully RFK Junior is doing a

676
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 25: little bit of that now in his position. So let's

677
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 25: if you can take the guns out of the hands

678
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 25: of people, but if you don't solve the root problem

679
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 25: of why these acts are being are taking place, then

680
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 25: the problem is still there.

681
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, arman, you're running for Congress other What's what's the

682
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: district out there where you are in terms of immigration

683
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: kind of on the street. What are you hearing from

684
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 3: constituents out there?

685
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 25: Well, certainly it's a twenty five percent Latino district, and

686
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 25: the vast majority of this district still approved Prop. Thirty six,

687
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 25: which improves a law enforcement activities. You know, it made

688
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 25: shoplifting illegal again and on from that, and folks want

689
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 25: the violent criminals out of the area. But being California,

690
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 25: there are a majority of the people also who don't

691
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 25: like seeing ICE going and getting people who are perhaps

692
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 25: in this country illegal, but they have committed no additional crimes.

693
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: So you know, that's that's absolutely understandable from that standpoint.

694
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 25: And for these poor ICE agents out there working on

695
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 25: the fourth of July, the first thing that struck me

696
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 25: was like, gosh, don't these guys get a holiday. You know,

697
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 25: it would be good for ICE to get all these

698
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 25: criminals out. I'm sure that a lot of these folks

699
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 25: who are getting swept up, who don't have any other crimes,

700
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 25: simply were there perhaps at the same time that other

701
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 25: criminal folks were folks who had warrants out for their

702
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 25: arrest or who had failed to meet, you know, come

703
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 25: into court for their asylum hearings, ad infinitum. So absolutely

704
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 25: I can understand the sentiment and the feeling around here

705
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 25: because it is a you know, it is a very

706
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 25: heavy Democrat district. It is also very heavy Latino district,

707
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 25: so it's natural for them to feel that way. I

708
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 25: think there's room for both sides to make progress on

709
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 25: this issue, and I think there is also room to

710
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 25: look at you know, federal immigration policies to make it

711
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 25: easier to be a citizen for those people who are genuine,

712
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 25: who want to share the American dream, who share our values,

713
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 25: who want to learn English, be a part of society,

714
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 25: open started business and have their kids grow up to

715
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 25: be American citizens.

716
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 7: Well said, thank you for Mncurdian. Good to have you.

717
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 25: Thanks Agin, you have a great thing.

718
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 6: Thanks Coming up, Elon Musk says he is forming a

719
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 6: new political party. What are some of the goals for

720
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 6: the midterms next year. If he's going to do it,

721
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,560

Speaker 3: support healthy aging and reduce biological age. So you cover

735
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,080

00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: David, Thank you sir.

753
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: Now that we're caffeinated, it's time to stay awake, not woke,

754
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: and this morning Elon Musk is in the crosshairs as

755
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: he has formed a new political party. The new party

756
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: is called the America Party. Musk says initially the party

757
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: will focus on eight to ten House seats in two

758
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: to three Senate seats. All of this comes after he

759
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: and President Trump have been feuding about the big beautiful

760
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: Bill for more. Let's bring in Gena and David to

761
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: talk a bit more about this, and guys, as we

762
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: get into it. President Trump, also responding to the formation

763
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: of this new political party on True Social writing, I

764
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: am saden to watch Elon Musk go completely off the rails,

765
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: essentially becoming a train wreck over the past five weeks. Again,

766
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: that's a direct quote from President Trump's True Social post.

767
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: What do you make of all of this? Is it

768
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: going to get any traction? Doctor Gina? I think that's

769
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: somewhat of a rhetorical question, but I'll just leave it

770
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: open ended.

771
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 7: It is a tragedy.

772
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 6: I mean, I wish we could go back to the

773
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 6: time when folks were working together, who agreed on ninety

774
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 6: percent of what needs to happen to fix our very

775
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 6: broken body politic. But that's not going to happen. I

776
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 6: think that many of us foresaw this. I think months

777
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 6: and months ago. I remember sitting election night, we were

778
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 6: at mar Lago here and looking at Elon and President

779
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 6: Trump sitting at the table together having a great time

780
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 6: like two guys in a cigar bar or something, and

781
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 6: thinking how long can this possibly last with that much

782
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 6: alpha male happening? And so it almost seems inevitable from

783
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 6: a psychological standpoint, which you know is what I sa study.

784
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 6: I think though, from a psychological standpoint also, Terrence, I

785
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 6: want to warn that I feel like focusing on this

786
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 6: right now when Republicans need and should have their eye

787
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 6: on the prize of winning midterms, this could be a

788
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 6: diversion that I think could get us caught up in

789
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 6: something that is ancillary and a big distraction. It could

790
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 6: be detrimental and a real detractor coming up in terms

791
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 6: of winning the midterms.

792
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 7: David, I'd love your analysis.

793
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: No, you're absolutely right. He calls an America's Party, but

794
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 3: it's the spoiler party, that's what it is. I mean,

795
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: he says eight or so house districts in two to

796
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: three Senate races. Let's be clear, he's talking about Republicans

797
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: that he's going to back or whatever he wants to

798
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 3: call them, you know, Musk and Republican combined type people.

799
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 3: So the point is he's going after Republicans and he's

800
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: splitting the party, So you might as well be working

801
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: for the Democrats at this point. I mean, seriously, I mean,

802
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: that's what it is. I mean. And so thanks Elon Musk,

803
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: Thanks for doing pretty much nothing, because you basically left

804
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: and burned the house down. I truly believe, or he's

805
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 3: trying to burn the house down, you know, I truly

806
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: believe this was all about money. Ultimately, he spent what

807
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 3: was it, close to two hundred and fifty million dollars

808
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 3: maybe to eighty on Trump's reelection, and I think people

809
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: like that think that they can just buy access and

810
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 3: power and influence. And when Trump Trump's always going to

811
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: be his own man and was going to do things

812
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: his way, and when must didn't kind of get his

813
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 3: way on certain picks, whether it be on NASA and others,

814
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: he got frustrated. And that's part of it. So I

815
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: think part of it sour grapes. I'm not saying he's

816
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 3: not principled on the money stuff, but what's your point.

817
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if you really want to make a dent,

818
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 3: go after the Democrats and kick those folks out of office.

819
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: You know, the Republicans that voted for the bill, they

820
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: voted for a lot of Trump's agenda, most of Trump's agenda.

821
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 3: So you're going to kick people out because they didn't

822
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: you know, they buck they went back on the spending

823
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 3: aspect of this. I mean, give me a break. First

824
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 3: of all, this is the more spending than Congress has

825
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: ever cut, number one, So it's called, you know, merch

826
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: it down the field, Elon. I mean, was this bill perfect? No,

827
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 3: But you know you got to see the forest from

828
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: the trees here, and Elon Musk has just really done,

829
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 3: just done some real damage. And the sad part is

830
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: the media is going to eat this up all the

831
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: way to the midterms. And to your point, t bates

832
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: at the beginning. Will this get traction? I don't know

833
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: politically if it'll get traction, but from a media perspective,

834
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: absolutely it'll get traction. This is Trump versus Elon. It's

835
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 3: a splintering of the Republican Party in MAGA, and that's

836
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 3: going to be the headlines. Even though a lot of

837
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: that is just not true. But that's what the media

838
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: is going to.

839
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 6: Run with two absolute truth year number one. Third parties

840
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 6: don't work.

841
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 7: Number two.

842
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 6: Those who promote them marginalize themselves here and sorry.

843
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah no no, I'll just add number three. Was Elon

844
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: ever really maggot? Supporting Trump alone doesn't necessarily make you maga.

845
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: We're the values, really maga?

846
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: I question that? Do you know what you say? They

847
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: weren't doctor Gina your.

848
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: Thoughts because you saw him at mar A Lago every

849
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: now and then, you were really in tune with Mega.

850
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: Do you think Elon like, do you consider Elon really

851
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: having ever been maga?

852
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 6: Well, you know the thing about maga is that no

853
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 6: individual gets to define it, So I don't get to

854
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 6: say what maga is.

855
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 7: Maga is what it is to me.

856
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 6: To me, maga is the ideals of the Tea Party rights, That's.

857
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 7: What it is to me.

858
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 6: To Elon, I think it was just about business exploding,

859
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 6: and he was just excited to see business come back,

860
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 6: and then when it wasn't going the way, he thought

861
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 6: he had a problem with it. So the thing about

862
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 6: a people's movement, the thing about a populist movement, is

863
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 6: that it is not definable by one person, and that

864
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 6: means not gene allowed. But it also means not elon

865
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 6: Musk Terrence. I think that's an important thing to note.

866
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: That's a fair point, doctor. I had never thought of it,

867
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's a fair point. It's an absolutely fair point,

868
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: all right, coming up, not even Donald Trump. Now, that's

869
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: a very good point, doctor Jane. I really had never

870
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: thought of it in those terms. Coming out Texas is

871
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: really from the devastating, deadly flooding that has killed scores

872
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: of people. So how can faith sustain these communities? We'll

873
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: talk about it next. You're on American Sunrise.

874
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 3: God bless the Us.

875
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 16: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

876
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 6: All right, welcome back to American Sunrises. Time now for

877
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 6: a moment of faith. This is brought to us by

878
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 6: Lee Greenwood and the God blessed the USA Bible and

879
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 6: focus today finding faith in times of tragedy. The death

880
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 6: toll in the Texas flood is approximately eighty. I think

881
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 6: it's over eighty now. Authorities are still searching for survivors,

882
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 6: hoping against hope. During these times, we turn to our

883
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 6: faith to try to begin the healing process. For more,

884
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 6: Let's bring in the president and CEO of Coral Rich

885
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 6: Ministries and the founder of the Institute for Faith and Culture,

886
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 6: doctor Robert Pacienza, Doctor Pascienza.

887
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 7: You know, it almost.

888
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 6: Feels preachy, doesn't it to say in a time like this,

889
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 6: be sure you turn to your faith. But as I

890
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 6: was mentioning, I'm doing a deep dive right now on

891
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 6: hearing the voice of God, which is something I never

892
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 6: gave a ton of thought to. I kind of I

893
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 6: don't know what I thought. I just I don't know.

894
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 6: It was just it was something I kind of flew past.

895
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 6: How do you hear the voice of God though, in

896
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 6: the midst of such tragedy.

897
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 26: Well, the reality is we all have faith in something.

898
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 26: We have faith in ourselves, we have faith in our careers,

899
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 26: we have faith in our future. The question in moments

900
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 26: like this, were reminded that we need to have faith

901
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 26: in something bigger than ourselves. We need to have faith

902
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 26: in the God that created us, and more importantly, the

903
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 26: God that offers redemption.

904
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 24: Through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

905
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 26: And it's our prayer that people, whether it's they're in Texas,

906
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 26: whether they're dealing with this tragedy directly or whether they're

907
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 26: watching from afar, would be reminded that we need to

908
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 26: have faith in something that is eternal and something that

909
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 26: never changes, and that something is a someone, the person

910
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 26: and work of Jesus Christ.

911
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 6: And in times like these, you want to pray for people,

912
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 6: you want to pray so effectively. And I remember thinking, well,

913
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 6: actually was with my colleague David Brodie, his daughter Lena

914
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 6: going through cancer treatment right now, and I thought, I

915
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 6: just want to pray as effectively as I've ever prayed

916
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 6: for this family. And I find myself struggling with understanding

917
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 6: how to most effectively pray when people are really going

918
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 6: through something to pray for them.

919
00:46:59,120 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 7: Do you have suggestion?

920
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 26: Absolutely, well, I'm not only a pastor, but I'm a

921
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 26: father who's lost a child, and I can honestly say

922
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 26: it's in those moments of tragedy that were reminded of

923
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 26: the God of the Old and New Testament, who declares

924
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 26: that he weeps with those who weep, and he mourns

925
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 26: with those who mourn, and he moves closer to the

926
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 26: broken hearted. And most importantly, God is a father who

927
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 26: lost his son, Jesus Christ. And so we can take comfort,

928
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 26: and we can pray for people to understand that this

929
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 26: is not something you get over, but grief is something

930
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 26: that you go through. But thanks be to God, we

931
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 26: get to go through it with a God who walks

932
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 26: with us.

933
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 24: And he climbs in the valley with us.

934
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 26: And so I think we can pray for those that

935
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 26: are experiencing this tragedy to just be still and to

936
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 26: know that God is there and that He weeps with them.

937
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 26: And may it be the very tears of God that

938
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 26: brings them comfort in the midst of this tragedy.

939
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 6: Oh, doctor Passians, I didn't realize you had lost a child.

940
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 26: You want to tell us, Yeah, we lost our daughter

941
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 26: Lily about seven years ago. She was three years old.

942
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 26: She was our little angel. She was the youngest evangelist.

943
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 26: We knew she would go around telling people if she

944
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 26: knew if they knew Jesus, and so we know that

945
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 26: we will be reunited with her one day. But in

946
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 26: the midst of grief and in the midst of tragedy,

947
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 26: that's where we find hope in the God that created us,

948
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 26: and the God that redeems us, and the God who

949
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 26: weeps with us. And we pray that the church would

950
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 26: be the church in this moment for those that are

951
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 26: struggling with loss in the state of Texas, that they

952
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 26: would find their ultimate hope and faith and trust in

953
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 26: the God who sent his son Jesus Christ to offer

954
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 26: life and life eternal.

955
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 7: I knew there was a little sparkle in you. That's

956
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 7: your little lily.

957
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 6: Doctor Robert Passienza, thank you so much for being with us,

958
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 6: for sharing your story.

959
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 7: Our prayers continued.

960
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 6: Just hope for your family because it sounds like you

961
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 6: turned that tragic situation to hope and we can only

962
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 6: pray the saying for those facing such tragedy right now

963
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 6: in Texas.

964
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 24: Thank you, Amen, Thank you.

965
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 7: Back with the second.

966
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 6: Half of American Sunrise in two minutes.

967
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: Ahead.

968
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: On this second hour of American Sunrise, it's a race

969
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: against time. His search and recovery crews in Texas are

970
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: back at it this morning looking for survivors following the

971
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: massive flash flooding that's devastating parts of the Lone Star State.

972
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: We're live on.

973
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: The scene and monitoring how you and your family can

974
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: help those who have lost everything. Plus General Michael Flynn,

975
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: the first National security advisor to President Trump, says he

976
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: was targeted by the FBI because he was a direct

977
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: threat to a deep state plot to discredit and derail

978
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: the president. Flynn also said says he was falsely planted

979
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: a traitor to his country. He joins us Live to

980
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: set the record straight in just a couple of minutes

981
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: and instead of July fourth, messages of pride and patriotism

982
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: in our country, Democrats project.

983
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: Thoughts of doom and gloom.

984
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: We're not talking about your crazy conspiracy theory loving neighbor here,

985
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: but the people who have and may have had the

986
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: nuclear codes at their disposal were naming names ahead on

987
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: this second hour of American Sunrise.

988
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 3: Good morning, America.

989
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 4: Welcome to American Sunrise.

990
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 2: Robert's Culture.

991
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 4: We have breaking news to share with you.

992
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 2: Politics.

993
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 3: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

994
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 2: We've got your covered.

995
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 3: This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

996
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: We have to protect the American family.

997
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 4: The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence,

998
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 4: and I'm doctor China.

999
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 3: And welcome back everybody to the second hour of American Sunrise.

1000
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 3: I'm David Brody, coming to you from DC. Let's bring

1001
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: in doctor g and West Palm and teammates in our

1002
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 3: Denver newsroom. Good morning to both of you guys. You know,

1003
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 3: this has been a heavy show. I don't think there's

1004
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 3: any question about it. It makes you really kind of

1005
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: wonder about, you know, just the brevity of life at

1006
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: times and when tragedy strikes. But doctor g look, God

1007
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 3: doesn't promise us the answers in the Bible, it doesn't

1008
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 3: promise us all the answers, and we have to kind

1009
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 3: of rest and maybe wrestle with that to a degree.

1010
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always interesting in our own grief. I think

1011
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 6: sometimes in mind I've said, you know, I've asked the

1012
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 6: why question like we do, and then I realized that

1013
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 6: there is nothing that we walk through that He didn't

1014
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 6: walk through first.

1015
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 7: And if you really remember.

1016
00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 6: Whether it's rejection or grief or embarrassment or just yearning,

1017
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 6: you know, the deep yearning of the soul that people

1018
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 6: go through in different parts of life, whatever it is,

1019
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 6: he went through it first.

1020
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 7: And if you.

1021
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 6: Really look at the life of Jesus Christ, moment by moment,

1022
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 6: you will find those moments where He is just so

1023
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 6: close to you. And I think that's what doctor Pacienda

1024
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 6: was saying. You know it is in those moments that

1025
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 6: we're really walking through the hard times, Terence, that he's

1026
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 6: the absolute closest to us. And I think that's a

1027
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 6: beautiful and reassuring thought.

1028
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: And for people of faith, you know that no matter

1029
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: what you're walking through, Jesus is walking right alongside you.

1030
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: Whether he's supporting you in the way that you think

1031
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: you want to be supported or not, but he's walking

1032
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 1: right alongside you. Camp Mystic, of course, the all girls

1033
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: camp that was devastated by the flooding, just releasing a

1034
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: statement this morning saying, and I'm going to quote that

1035
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: it is grieving the loss of twenty seven campers. A

1036
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: statement going on to say, we have been in communication

1037
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: with local and state authorities who are tirelessly deploying the

1038
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: extensive resources to search for our missing girls. We are

1039
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from the community,

1040
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: first responders and officials at every level. So a lot

1041
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: of work and a lot of support being offered there

1042
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: at Camp Mystic, but unfortunately, still dozens of young girls

1043
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: have passed away as a result of the deadly flooding.

1044
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: There still a sad situation and.

1045
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 6: Counselors that I believe the director of the camp, Caroline

1046
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 6: set as well. Just a tragic story all the way around.

1047
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 6: And then remember that there's sixty some others out there,

1048
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 6: or fifty some others I guess my math, you know,

1049
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 6: who are also mourning and grieving losses and some still

1050
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 6: not found.

1051
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, we'll be talking a lot more about this obviously

1052
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 3: throughout the hour. Ben Burkwam is going to join us

1053
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 3: here in a little bit. So we want to turn

1054
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 3: our attention out to Washington, d C. And a justice

1055
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 3: system in question. President Trump's former national security advisor and

1056
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 3: retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Michael General excuse me, Michael fnn

1057
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 3: had a long and distinguished career, a wonderful one. He

1058
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 3: was dragged through the legal system eventually but guilty to

1059
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 3: charges of lyne to the FBI about his conversations with

1060
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 3: a Russian agent. But it doesn't end there. General Flynn

1061
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 3: now suing the federal government. He claims he was wrongfully prosecuted.

1062
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 3: It was targeted by the FBI because he was a

1063
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 3: direct threat to a quote deep state plot to discredit

1064
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 3: and derail President Trump. The president ultimately pardoned General Flynn.

1065
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 3: As we know, he is captured it all, General Flynn

1066
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 3: and his best selling new book. It's called Pardon of Innocence.

1067
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 3: The book has been endorsed by President Trump himself. It

1068
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 3: is just out and General Michael Flynn joins us. Now, General,

1069
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: really appreciate your service and for being here this morning,

1070
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: and we do want to talk to you about your book.

1071
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about

1072
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 3: what's happened in Texas and maybe some offering, some words

1073
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 3: of encouragement or what you can say to that now,

1074
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: and then we'll of course get to your book. I

1075
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: know priorities for sure.

1076
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 19: Yeah, a couple of things. And I've written eight books actually,

1077
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 19: and all of the books that I write, I always

1078
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 19: talk about faith. And I think that this is really

1079
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 19: for what is going on in the country today, because

1080
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 19: we tend to have a sense of hopelessness sometimes especially

1081
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 19: some of these people that are looking for their children,

1082
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 19: Oh my god. But I think what we seek in

1083
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 19: life is we seek hope, and we seek hope through

1084
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 19: for those that have the strength of faith, or even

1085
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 19: for those that that you know, lost it at some

1086
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 19: point in their lives and now you know, are out

1087
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 19: there trying to find it through whatever path.

1088
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 11: You know, from my.

1089
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 19: Perspective, I always write about faith, family and freedom or

1090
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 19: faith family and what I.

1091
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 18: Call true friends.

1092
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 11: And I was, you know, off before we came on.

1093
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 19: I don't know whether I was talking to producer or you, David,

1094
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,959
Speaker 19: but as a young child, I was in third grade,

1095
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 19: I lost my sister Lenny to in a very tragic accident.

1096
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 19: She was actually in a coma for six months. I'm

1097
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 19: one of nine children. My parents went through I mean

1098
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 19: emotional hell. And because they weren't they had to basically

1099
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 19: watch their their oldest daughter, their oldest child, who tragically

1100
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 19: died but was in a coma for six months, die

1101
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 19: for six months, they had to watch her. I know,

1102
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 19: my mother went up there every single she went to

1103
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 19: the hospital every night. And so you know, for me

1104
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 19: and my memories of that, because you know, you never forget.

1105
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 19: But what you do is you you can find some renewal,

1106
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 19: you know, in your lives or certainly in your faith

1107
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 19: if you so choose. And I think that this is

1108
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 19: where right now you're in, this where everybody's in this

1109
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 19: very emotional going to be in this very emotional state.

1110
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 19: It's very very difficult time. But I would tell you

1111
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 19: having lived through that as a child, as a sibling

1112
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 19: of a child, and I was very close to my

1113
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 19: sister Lenny, very close to her. She dam near raised

1114
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 19: me because my father was also in the military. My

1115
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 19: mother was a working woman, you know, so raising kids right.

1116
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 19: So I always write about faith first because if we

1117
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 19: learn anything from life, we learn that when the when

1118
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 19: the most difficult times exist in our lives, the one

1119
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 19: thing that we can return to is our faith, whether

1120
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 19: it's praying quietly, whether it's going back to church, whether

1121
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 19: it's going to a group of people who you who

1122
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 19: you love and who love you back. And that's why

1123
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 19: I talk about I've written quite a bit about true friendship,

1124
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 19: because true friendship matters in a time like this. You know,

1125
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 19: you find when the when the times are most difficult.

1126
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 19: I did, when the times are most difficult, that true

1127
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 19: friends come to you and uh and embrace you and

1128
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 19: help you and never leave you. And I think from

1129
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 19: from my experiences as a child, having lived through what

1130
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 19: we live through as a as a sibling, you know,

1131
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 19: as a person who was a sibling of a child,

1132
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 19: an older sister who died very tragically, we could have

1133
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 19: fallen apart, we could have lost everything you know, just

1134
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 19: lost our minds, right, But instead it was our faith

1135
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 19: that brought us back together and strengthened our family. And

1136
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 19: that's why I always write about faith and family. That's

1137
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 19: what this book, Pardon of Innocence is really about. It's

1138
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 19: not about a woe as me. It's about how we

1139
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 19: as Americans, we fight for each other. We fight for hope.

1140
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 19: We stand with each other, we stand for hope. We

1141
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 19: stand for hope in the future and a better and

1142
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 19: better things to come. We don't know, you know, when

1143
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 19: our day is going to be. We don't know why

1144
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 19: that day is going to come or when it's going

1145
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 19: to come. What we know is that when it happens,

1146
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 19: are we prepared? Are we prepared in our faith? And

1147
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 19: that's why I think that, you know, maybe it's maybe

1148
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 19: it's it's appropriate that I, you know, that I'm here

1149
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 19: today to strengthen you guys, because I was listening to

1150
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 19: Jina prior for a few minutes and it's very emotional.

1151
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 19: This is a very very difficult time. I have been

1152
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 19: through many difficult times in my life. I've never lost

1153
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 19: a child, and so I cannot imagine that I can

1154
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 19: certainly have compassion for what they are going through. But

1155
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 19: what we need to understand as Americans is that our

1156
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 19: strength lies in our faith in God. Period. That's how

1157
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 19: our country was founded upon. That's what we fought for,

1158
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 19: and that's what we continue to fight for. And that's why,

1159
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 19: you know, I continue to be as visible as public

1160
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 19: and many times as controversial as possible, because we are

1161
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 19: moving further and further away as a nation from our

1162
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 19: Christian roots. And it is these moments and I can

1163
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 19: only you know, I can only speculate, you know, these

1164
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 19: moments that come to us as American citizens when these

1165
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 19: sort of tragedies happen. You know, I don't know why,

1166
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 19: I don't know when, I don't know how.

1167
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 11: I just know that the one thing.

1168
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 19: That we always talk about during these moments is our faith,

1169
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 19: and we have to return to that. And I always

1170
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 19: have said, very publicly, very many times that prayer is

1171
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 19: the most powerful weapons system known to man. I talk

1172
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 19: about that in the book, actually, because if you give

1173
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 19: up on prayer, then you give up on life, and

1174
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 19: you can do You can be chained to a wall,

1175
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 19: lying on your back, and you can with all of

1176
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 19: your freedoms taken, but you can still pray and I

1177
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 19: think that that's that's my message here this morning with

1178
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 19: you guys, is that you know, it's not it's it's

1179
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,479
Speaker 19: not about the direction of our country, oh my god.

1180
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 19: You know, Trump has enough challenges on his plate every

1181
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 19: single morning. It's about what is what is really meaningful

1182
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 19: in our lives?

1183
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 11: Right?

1184
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 19: And when when these when these tragedy like this strikes,

1185
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 19: and these parents parents are going through incredible levels of

1186
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 19: grief and they will for a while, and there will

1187
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 19: be there will be those who will outreach to them.

1188
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 19: And that's a good thing because those others who have

1189
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 19: gone through this type of tragedy will reach out to

1190
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 19: these parents and maybe there will be groups formed and

1191
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 19: and there will be good things that will come out

1192
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 19: of this, like that young man that you had on

1193
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 19: the show just prior to me, Gina, who who took

1194
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 19: a tragedy and turned it into triumph. Right. And I

1195
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 19: think that that's the message. We have to fight every

1196
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 19: single day for what we believe in. And when certain

1197
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 19: things happen, you know, and when tragedy strikes, how how

1198
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 19: do you want to be? Do you want to be

1199
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 19: you know, meek and and and and fall on your backside?

1200
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 19: Or do you want to be strong and stand in

1201
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 19: the you know, in the fulcrum of of of your

1202
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 19: own legacy, your own life, your own family, and fight

1203
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 19: back to recover some goodness that was part of these

1204
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 19: young young children's lives.

1205
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 11: Chris, they were all.

1206
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 19: Good, These were all great, great young people, right, and

1207
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 19: others who you know were devastated by this, but certainly

1208
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 19: these young children whose lives were ahead of them.

1209
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 3: So let's let's.

1210
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 19: Send that message. Let's make that message our message, our

1211
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 19: collective message as Americans, to say, let's make something good

1212
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 19: of this, and let's look at the future and make

1213
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 19: it brighter.

1214
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 6: Well, we appreciate you coming on this show and giving

1215
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 6: us such a word of encouragement, General, when we had

1216
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 6: you on the show to talk about your book. It

1217
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 6: will be next on my audible. The book is called

1218
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 6: Pardon of Innocence and inspiring story of faith and freedom.

1219
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 6: Perhaps living it more today than talking about it. General Flynn,

1220
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 6: thank you so much for being with us, and thank

1221
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 6: you for your service to our country and to our president.

1222
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 7: Thank you, God, bless guys, God bless you. Right, we'll

1223
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 7: be back in just a moment.

1224
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 5: Breaking news from Real America's Voice.

1225
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to American sunrise. Everyone, I'm Terrence Bades. We

1226
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: want to turn our attention back to what's happening in Texas.

1227
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Torrential rains have killed scores of people there. Here's a

1228
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: look at how this tragedy is unfolded over the past

1229
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: couple of days.

1230
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 14: The horrible tragedy down in Texas.

1231
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 15: Deluge of brain. It came in hard and fast. What

1232
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 15: that resulted in was a deadly cresting.

1233
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 14: Then a matter of minutes it was up to twenty

1234
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 14: nine feet.

1235
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 16: Is nothing short of biblical.

1236
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 17: I'm asking the people of Texas do some serious praying

1237

Speaker 22: You can go back and look at your own forecast,

1281
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 22: and the amount of brain that fell at this specific

1282
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 22: location was never at any of those forecasts. If you're

1283
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 22: all immediate, you got that forecast, it did not predict

1284
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 22: the amount of.

1285
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:46,640

01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,000

1299
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 8: and they're exhausted. They've been doing this now for several

1300
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,080

01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 18: do miracles from.

1308
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 24: Now on and we would see miracles happen.

1309
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,959

1340
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,559

1343
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: is crude oil, which happens to be up at the moment.

1344

1347
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Te Bates, appreciate it. Joining us now before the

1348
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,919
Speaker 3: opening bells. The host of the early edition of American Sunrise,

1349
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 3: I'd be Jake Novak. We know Jake. He's up earlier

1350
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 3: than us. Jake, good to see you. So let's talk

1351
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 3: about this because the markets have been on a great

1352
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 3: winning streak, but Wednesday could be a potential new roadblock

1353
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 3: if investors don't learn from what's happened already this year.

1354
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 3: Let's talk about that. Good morning, good morning.

1355
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing they should learn is not to.

1356
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 3: Actually, Jake, gave me a second. We've got Ben burkwam

1357
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 3: with Ted Cruz, soh storry breaking news. Let's go to that. Now,

1358
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 3: stand by, Jake. Do we have it?

1359
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Guys?

1360
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 3: We don't have it? Okay, Well we are waiting or

1361
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 3: are we standing by for some sort of breaking news?

1362
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 3: So Jake take it away until we have it.

1363
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 27: Well, you know, Wednesday could be a big day. It

1364
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 27: would have been a big day, David, if they didn't

1365
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 27: learn that deadlines and this trade deals that are going

1366
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 27: on don't mix. The President has been using different strategies

1367
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 27: as he's been negotiating with other countries so as you remember,

1368
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 27: David in April when the market freaked out, hit bolt,

1369
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 27: you know, hit a year low on expecting these tariffs

1370
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 27: to go into place at a particular time, at a

1371
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 27: particular place against certain country countries, and then it didn't

1372
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 27: turn out that way. As we just had that happen

1373
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 27: just again, we were expecting Wednesday a bunch.

1374
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 3: Of yeah, now we got them, all right, Senator Ted Cruise,

1375
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 3: We're Ben burkewam in Kerrville, Texas.

1376
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 18: Ben go ahead, Hey, yeah, thank you, David. I actually

1377
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 18: am out here with Senator Ted Cruz. Senator, just an

1378
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 18: absolute tragedy. You know, your state, talk to us about

1379
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 18: your your feelings, your experience this morning.

1380
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 11: Wow, listen, Texas. What has happened here is heartbreaking, and

1381
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 11: our state is grieving and grieving at a level that

1382
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 11: there are a lot of tears. There's a lot of

1383
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 11: agony over the flooding that happened. You know, Kirk County,

1384
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 11: where we are right now, in the Hill Country, is

1385
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 11: I think the prettiest part of Texas. The Guadalupe River

1386
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 11: is a beautiful river right now. It is it is

1387
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 11: still at higher levels and running faster, and and it

1388
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 11: is I've floated and gone swimming in this river dozens

1389
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 11: of times. And for a century, this has been an

1390
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 11: oasis where where kids Texans, little boys and little girls

1391
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 11: come to summer camp. And and what happened with this floods.

1392
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 11: We now have eighty two confirmed fatalities, twenty eight of

1393
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 11: those are children. There's still ten ten kids that are

1394
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 11: missing from Camp Mystic And and this is every parent's nightmare,

1395
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 11: every every little boy, every little girl who goes to camp.

1396
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 11: Mom and dad are celebrating and the nightmare of losing

1397
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 11: their child. I'll tell you. In the last several days,

1398
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 11: I've spoken with multiple parents who were just panicking, whose

1399
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 11: little girl was on the list of missing and and

1400
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 11: there they don't know what to do, and and I've

1401
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 11: tried to connect them with the sheriff, with emergency management,

1402
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 11: with the search and rescue teams. But there's enormous grief

1403
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 11: going on. At the same time, I think we've seen

1404
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 11: incredible heroism, incredible bravery. We had over eight hundred and

1405
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 11: fifty rescues from the flooding. We saw the Coastguard with

1406
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 11: incredible heroism and the National Guard with incredible heroism, and

1407
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 11: and we saw DPS with incredible heroism, and we see

1408
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 11: that every time there is a crisis, a natural disaster

1409
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 11: in Texas, Texans come together. They help each other. Some

1410
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 11: of the stories of bravery from this flooding Eagle scouts

1411
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 11: helping little campers out of their cabins, saving their lives.

1412
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 11: One woman who floated four miles down this river with

1413
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 11: debris and everything floating by her, grabbed a tree, held

1414
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 11: onto the tree she was rescued. We're seeing great bravery

1415
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 11: and we're also seeing an outpouring of love. I want

1416
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 11: to say to everyone across Texas and across the country,

1417
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 11: thank you for your prayers, thank you for your love.

1418
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 11: Texans feel it. Those moms and dads that are living

1419
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 11: through this nightmare right now, they feel your love and

1420
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 11: prayer and lifting them up. We will come through this,

1421
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 11: but it is a time of great grief.

1422
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 18: You know, And that's obviously the focus still the ten

1423
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 18: missing young girls. I'm a dad of three young girls,

1424
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 18: and I cannot imagine my daughter's out. It's just it's

1425
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 18: so heartbreaking. And I look at some of what the

1426
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 18: coverage is and second guessing, you know. Monday morning quarterbacking.

1427
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 18: I'm from Arkansas now and from Texas. You know these

1428
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 18: weather systems are you have no idea what's coming. What

1429
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 18: is your message to the people out there? Obviously, the

1430
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 18: focus right now is on finding those little girls, finding

1431
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 18: the missing, restoring them to their families, and the grief

1432
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 18: and prayers for those families. But what's your message on

1433
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 18: all the rest where you see the media trying to

1434
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 18: shift blame and already playing that game.

1435
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:50,839
Speaker 11: Well, listen, the focus needs to be in any crisis

1436
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 11: on the first stage of search and rescue, getting people

1437
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 11: out of harm's way, and that has got to be

1438
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 11: the priority, and it has been the priority. We've still

1439
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 11: got ten girls that are missing or praying that those

1440
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 11: girls are found safe, and that is critically important. Then

1441
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 11: there's rebuilding and recovery. And look, there are people throughout

1442
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 11: Central Texas who've lost their homes, who've lost everything, and

1443
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 11: this is where the church really matters. The church is

1444
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 11: stepping up, and look, the church should be doing this

1445
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,919
Speaker 11: every day, but in the face of crisis is especially

1446
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,719
Speaker 11: a time to show God's love, to help your neighbor,

1447
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 11: to feed and clothe your neighbor, to help comfort a

1448
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 11: grieving mom or dad with an inconsolable pain, All of

1449
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 11: that is critical. You know, you talked about your three daughters.

1450
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 11: I'm a girl dad. I have two daughters. My daughters

1451
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 11: have gone to camp right here in Hunt, Texas for

1452
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 11: a decade. Just last week we picked our youngest daughter

1453
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 11: up from camp right here. It was just a few

1454
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 11: days before this flooding occurred. And so as we're watching this,

1455
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 11: and look, the kids that go to camp here come

1456
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,799
Speaker 11: from all all over the state. So we have friends

1457
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 11: and neighbors whose girls were at Camp Mystic. We have

1458
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,879
Speaker 11: classmates of my daughters at school who are third graders

1459
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 11: who were either killed or are still missing. And it's

1460
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 11: it's not the way it's supposed to work. Kids are

1461
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 11: supposed to bury your parents. Your daughters are supposed to

1462
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 11: bury you. My daughters are supposed to bury me. And

1463
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,719
Speaker 11: when a child is taken, it's I think the hardest

1464
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 11: pain of anything. You asked about the politicization, and you're right.

1465
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 11: With any tragedy, there are people that try to play

1466
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 11: politics with it. They try to blame their political opponents.

1467
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 11: And in today's partisan world, if there's a hurricane, if

1468
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 11: there's a tornado, if there's a flood, there are some

1469
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 11: who want to say it's all Donald Trump's fault, because

1470
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 11: everything bad they say is Donald Trump's fault. Look, I

1471
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 11: think that is wrong, it is inappropriate, and I think

1472
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 11: most people don't want to see partisan fingerpa pointing. What

1473
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 11: they want to see is let's come together and let's

1474
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 11: get through this, and then afterwards, after we rebuild, there

1475
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 11: does need to be a process, a process of carefully

1476
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 11: looking back and saying, Okay, what could have been done

1477
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 11: differently to save more lives? How could the response have

1478
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 11: been better? We know that the warnings went out from

1479
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 11: the National Weather Service just after one am and just

1480
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 11: after four am. Obviously most people were asleep then and

1481
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 11: they missed those warnings, And so I think it's perfectly

1482
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 11: reasonable to have a conversation. We know floods will occur,

1483
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 11: natural disasters occur. How can we be better at being proactive?

1484
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 11: And in hindsight, everyone would agree that we should not

1485
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 11: have had little girls, particularly seven and eight year old,

1486
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 11: the youngest girls on the camp in cabins right by

1487
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 11: the river's edge as the flood warnings were coming out.

1488
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 11: And in hindsight, I hope we have a better system

1489
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 11: to have an early warning and then act proactively to

1490
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 11: remove the children, remove anyone vulnerable from harm's way to

1491
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 11: prevent this loss of life. That's a reasonable and infect

1492
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 11: very important conversation to have, but it shouldn't be in

1493
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 11: the context of just trying to score political points. It

1494
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 11: should be learning lessons. And by the way, we do

1495
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 11: that with regard to hurricanes. You know, I'm from Houston.

1496
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 11: We deal with hurricanes all the time on the Gulf Coast,

1497
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 11: and as we go through multiple hurricanes, you learn lessons about,

1498
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 11: all right, how do you proactively get people out of

1499
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 11: harm's way to reduce the loss of life. And I

1500
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 11: hope in the face of this horrible tragedy that if

1501
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 11: one positive thing comes out of it is that we

1502
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 11: improve our emergency response to be quicker and more effective

1503
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 11: getting people out of harm's way so that we're not

1504
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 11: dealing with this kind of terrible loss of life.

1505
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 18: Hey man, Well, God bless you. Thank you for being

1506
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 18: out here, and we continue to pray for the families,

1507
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 18: for the victims, as you said as a dad, especially

1508
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 18: the parents that have lost their children. We lift them

1509
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 18: up and we ask you to do the same.

1510
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 2: Amen.

1511
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 24: Thank you, sir. Everyone.

1512
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 18: Ted Cruz Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, David, are you

1513
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 18: guys still with us. Did you want to anything you

1514
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 18: guys get.

1515
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 7: Texas, Yeah, if you can.

1516
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 6: Texas Governor Greg Abbott also spoke on the tragedy in

1517
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 6: the Lone Star State.

1518
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 7: Take a look at this.

1519
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 28: I had the opportunity yesterday to visit Cat Mystic and

1520
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 28: get to see firsthand what happened there as well as

1521
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 28: all the way downstream after that, and it was nothing

1522
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 28: short of horrific to see what those young children went through.

1523
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 28: And we will remain one hundred percent dedicated searching for

1524
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 28: every single one of the children who were at Camp Mystic,

1525
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 28: as well as anybody else and the entire river bed

1526
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 28: to make sure that they're going.

1527
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 16: To be recovered.

1528
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 6: All right, to Ben and Senator Cruz, you're still there.

1529
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 6: I just want to give you a chance to react

1530
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 6: to what Governor Abbot was saying. And uh and Ben,

1531
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 6: if you can, if you can ask a Senator Cruz

1532
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 6: what does he foresee in terms of changes that might

1533
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 6: be policy related to this?

1534
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 18: And and the senators on comso he heard all that?

1535
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 11: Go ahead, center, Well, listen, I think there will be

1536
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 11: a careful retrospective that that we'll look at. How do

1537
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 11: you proactively avoid this sort of crisis in the future.

1538
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 11: Steps that strike me as natural. Number one, I think

1539
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 11: it's worth reassessing do you have cabins right along the

1540
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 11: river's edge. If you if you look at some of

1541
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 11: the cabins in these camps are higher up in the hills,

1542
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,759
Speaker 11: They're further from the water. I think that that clearly

1543
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 11: is safer.

1544
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 8: Uh.

1545
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 11: And and also what was the process when when there

1546
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 11: were there were warnings as early as the afternoon that

1547
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 11: that flooding was possible. The warnings got much more severe

1548
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 11: and urgent as the night went on. What's the process

1549
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 11: to make sure that you don't have everybody asleep when

1550
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 11: you realize that a crisis is coming. Because what we

1551
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 11: all wish had happened is before this flood hit hit,

1552
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 11: we wish that someone had gone down and taken these

1553
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 11: girls and put them in a truck, put them in

1554
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 11: a van and taking them up to higher ground. And

1555
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 11: if that had happened, we would have a much lower

1556
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 11: loss of life. The RVs that were right along the

1557
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 11: river that were swept into the river look tragically. You see,

1558
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 11: when you have tornadoes and hurricanes and flooding, mobile homes

1559
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 11: and RVs are particularly vulnerable to that. And so in

1560
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 11: terms of the early warning, and as I said, I

1561
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 11: actually think the hurricane analogy has has a lot a

1562
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 11: lot to apply here with hurricanes. Now, I think we're

1563
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 11: much more proactive in saying, Okay, there's a hurricane that's coming,

1564
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 11: what are the homes that are right on the water's

1565
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 11: edge that are the most vulnerable, and sending law enforcement

1566
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 11: in there. And you've got people who are stubborn, I

1567
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 11: don't want to leave, and sending people to say, look,

1568
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 11: it is really critical you leave. I wish we had

1569
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 11: done a better job of getting people out of harm's way.

1570
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 11: And I hope coming out of this that we can

1571
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 11: put in place processes for the next flood that happens.

1572
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,959
Speaker 11: And there will be another flood, there will be another tornado,

1573
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 11: there will be another hurricane, but we can do a

1574
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 11: more effective job being proactive in terms of removing people

1575
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 11: from vulnerable locations.

1576
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 3: Senator David Brody here, we've known each other for a

1577
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 3: very long time. It's good to see you none under

1578
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 3: these circumstances. Your father, obviously, Rafael Cruz, a pastor, you

1579
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 3: have a deep faith. I'm wondering if you can address

1580
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 3: to our audience the question and It's an age old

1581
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 3: question when God doesn't make sense. I know pastor James

1582
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 3: Dobson wrote a book about this. I'm curious to get

1583
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 3: your thoughts in this time.

1584
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 11: Good morning to you, you know, David. It's a question

1585
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 11: that everyone struggles with, and why does God allow bad

1586
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 11: things to happen to good people? Why does God allow

1587
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 11: bad things to happen to young children? And I will

1588
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 11: say there are theologians and pastors who've been unable to

1589
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 11: answer that question for millennia. And I don't know how

1590
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 11: that I have any additional in sight other than saying

1591
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 11: God is a good and loving God and he will

1592
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 11: help us through this. And I will say, in the

1593
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 11: last few years, I've got several friends who have tragically

1594
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 11: lost children and and I think it is the hardest

1595
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,600
Speaker 11: challenge to go through and and all I know to

1596
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 11: do is is to lean on God, to lean on prayer,

1597
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 11: to lean on family, to lean on friends and and

1598
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,440
Speaker 11: and just just grieve. But it is a grieving process.

1599
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,720
Speaker 11: And and look, I think every mom and dad this

1600
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 11: week has asked themselves what if that was me? What

1601
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 11: if that was my little girl? What if that where

1602
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 11: that was my little boy? Yeah, we have a good

1603
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 11: and benevolent God. But but God allows things to happen

1604
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 11: sometimes that that defy human explanation. And that's where we

1605
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 11: need love and where we need grace, and and and

1606
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 11: and this is a time, this is a time in

1607
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 11: particular for the church, for the church to do what

1608
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 11: the church should be doing every day. But in a

1609
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 11: time of greed, I think the church has a particular

1610
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 11: responsibility to step up. And I do think Texas has benefited.

1611
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 11: We have such a strong community of believers in Texas

1612
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 11: that that that you have, you have churches that step

1613
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 11: in and do the role we should.

1614
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, we appreciate your time. We understand that you've

1615
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: got to get going, but we appreciate you taking out

1616
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 1: a few minutes to be here with us continued support

1617
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: for your for your family, and for your state.

1618
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Senator Cruz.

1619
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: Ben, if you'll stick around, we want to continue our

1620
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: coverage here. Senator Cruz again, thanks so much. All right, Ben,

1621
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: we appreciate you securing that interview. This is such a

1622
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: difficult time and I feel you. You and I have

1623
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 1: spoken a lot about our daughters, and so when you

1624
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: hear these sorts of stories, I think as girl dads,

1625
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: it hits us even more, not that it doesn't hit

1626
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: anyone else, but I think it it affects us that

1627
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: much more. Talk about today, let's kind of move the

1628
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: story forward, because I was reading earlier today, Ben that

1629
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: there's even more rain in the forecast. And I'm sure

1630
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: that by now you've had an opportunity to talk to

1631
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: some of the rescue and search crews out there, some

1632
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: of the first responders relay some of the stories that

1633
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: they were laying to you and the emotional impact that

1634
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: all of this is having on them as they're trying

1635
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: to do their job, trying to save lives, but also

1636
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: seeing the reality of what is there on the ground.

1637
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 18: Yeah. Well, just to your point, Terrence, we were under

1638
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 18: floodwatch up until seven pm last night, so you add,

1639
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 18: you know, rain on top of the already this disaster

1640
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 18: we have. Really what it did was just create more

1641
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 18: fear in the community. People, you know, wondering is it

1642
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 18: gonna flood again. Thankfully we didn't see near the amount

1643
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 18: of flooding. But this isn't the only area where this

1644
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 18: is happening. The entire Texas Hill Country has been hit

1645
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 18: by this, both downstream and on the Guadalupe, but also

1646
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 18: a lot of the tributaries around this area several hundred

1647
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,679
Speaker 18: miles where this all the way up to Austin, where

1648
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 18: this weather system basically just parked for the last several

1649
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 18: days and dumped just unbelievable amounts of water. And so

1650
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 18: that was the big fear. Looking at the forecast going forward,

1651
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 18: nothing to the extent of what we've seen over the

1652
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 18: last several days. There will there are, there are showers

1653
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 18: in the forecast, but nothing like we've saw on the

1654
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 18: fourth of July or the third of July, or even

1655
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 18: some of what we saw yesterday. So thank God for that.

1656
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 18: It looks like it's going to be drying out at

1657
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:36,480
Speaker 18: least not to the flood stage levels. To the first responders,

1658
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 18: I mean, these are some of the bravest, toughest, best

1659
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 18: Americans that we have. And the community as well. The

1660
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 18: community is coming together in such a way. I just

1661
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 18: had a couple come up to me and tell me

1662
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 18: about the Church of Christ, the local Church of Christ.

1663
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 18: And by the way, I want to make a couple comments.

1664
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 18: I'm gonna pull this up on my phone real quick

1665
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 18: so I don't get it wrong. There are a couple

1666
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:02,520
Speaker 18: organizations that we want to highlight. First off, the Community

1667
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 18: Foundation of Texas Hill Country. That's the primary organization that

1668
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 18: we're recommending that that locals are recommending to donate to.

1669
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 18: That goes directly to the local community, unlike the Red Cross,

1670
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 18: who may take that money and use it on illegals

1671
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 18: the next time the illegal invasion happens. If you give

1672
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 18: to the Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country, that money

1673
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 18: is gonna stay here.

1674
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 24: With this community.

1675
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 18: There's also I just got spoke to this, this couple

1676
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 18: on Harper Roads six twenty five harperad Road, Cerville, the

1677
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 18: United Church of Christ in Town. They just got a

1678
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 18: massive truck in, a semi truckload of supplies anything people need.

1679
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 18: This is this is an issue. This is a disaster

1680
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 18: that isn't a day long, not a week long, not

1681
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 18: a month long.

1682
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 24: This is going to be a.

1683
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 18: Years long rebuilding, recovery, restoration process. And so the organizations

1684
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 18: are coming together. But that's what I would recommend. Talk

1685
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 18: to the local churches, talk to the local organizations, and

1686
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 18: for the first respect, pray for them, continue to lift

1687
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 18: them up, thank them in particular these guys that are

1688
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 18: out there at seventy two hours Some of these guys

1689
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 18: haven't slept.

1690
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 24: Some of them have just been NonStop.

1691
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 18: We heard about the rescue swimmer first time out in

1692
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 18: the water saved over one hundred and sixty one hundred

1693
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 18: and sixty five people. I'm sure that's much more than that.

1694
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 18: That was as of yesterday in his first out or

1695
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 18: going out to rescue lives. So all of this, all

1696
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 18: of these first responders, everybody is giving everything they have.

1697
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 18: They're not sleeping, and in fact, they're you know, they're

1698
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 18: rightfully annoyed at the media. They're doing these press conferences

1699
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 18: and they're not answering very many questions afterwards because their

1700
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 18: primary focus is on saving lives and recovering lives. And

1701
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 18: so just give them some leeway, give them some breathing room,

1702
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 18: let them do their job. I was at the Morgue

1703
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 18: yesterday and I'll just tell you I saw several bodies

1704
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 18: being brought in while I was there. And you know,

1705
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 18: when you see a baby, a young a young child

1706
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 18: in the in the in the situation, in the state

1707
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 18: that they're in now, it's really hard. It's really hard

1708
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 18: to do that job. And these guys are doing that

1709
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 18: over and over and over again. So I can't say

1710
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 18: enough about what they're doing, and in particular why it's

1711
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 18: so important that us that we focus on that, on

1712
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,600
Speaker 18: the life, on the tragedy, but also on the miracles

1713
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 18: that have happened, on the restoration of families, on lifting

1714
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 18: these communities up, and in particular bringing the communities and

1715
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 18: our country back together. You know, sadly, it's it's events

1716
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 18: like this that that sometimes it takes for us to

1717
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 18: remember what's important. And when you have something like this,

1718
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 18: you realize we are a United States of America, the

1719
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 18: Texas in particular the Texas community. They are a united family.

1720
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 18: And and that's what I pray. I pray that we

1721
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 18: become more united out of this. We do find solutions

1722
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 18: that we can to you know, any problem that we have,

1723
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 18: we always should be looking for potential solutions to fix

1724
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 18: it in the future. But the most important thing we

1725
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 18: can do as a people has come together. And that's

1726
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 18: my prayer. Yeah, for this community and for our country.

1727
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1728
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 6: Ben, I heard you know, you speak about being a

1729
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 6: father and heard one woman interviewed her husband woke her family.

1730
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 6: They were at a family camp. They had cabins right

1731
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 6: on the very front of the river. There as well,

1732
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 6: as you're discussing, her husband stayed up all night because

1733
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 6: he was just nervous. He just had a feeling about it,

1734
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 6: and they he woke them in the middle of the

1735
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 6: night and said, grab the dogs, grab each other, don't

1736
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 6: take our things, go up to the bathhouse. They got

1737
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 6: up to the bathhouse watched all of the cabins down

1738
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 6: below washed away. As a man came out of the

1739
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 6: bathhouse and said, oh my gosh, my whole family is

1740
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 6: down there.

1741
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 7: So these are the.

1742
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 6: Sorts of things that people will have to grapple with,

1743
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 6: as you mentioned, not for days, for weeks, for months.

1744
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 6: This is this is years of recovery and hopefully years

1745
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 6: of prayer. Ben, and thank you for mentioning that community

1746
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 6: foundation for Texas Hill Country, because you don't know what

1747
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 6: the Red Cross is going to do with your money.

1748
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 6: Some very corrupt policies there, so we want to make

1749
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 6: sure that that is emphasized as well. Ben, thanks for

1750
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 6: pointing that out.

1751
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 3: Can I just yea quickly say one thing just before

1752
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 3: before we go to break. It's also important to understand

1753
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 3: that up in that hill country, cell service is extremely spotty.

1754
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 3: So this idea that the warnings came in and you know,

1755
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 3: and people are starting to say, you know, oh they

1756
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 3: maybe they didn't heed the warnings. Come on, folks, I mean,

1757
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 3: the truth of the matter is is that it's very

1758
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 3: difficult to get cell service up there. We're seeing people

1759
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 3: in our chat talk about this, and I wanted to

1760
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 3: represent the chat and others that are saying we need

1761
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,800
Speaker 3: to have some understanding and grace and just reality of

1762
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 3: what happens up there in Hill County.

1763
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 6: So I just want to point that woman that was

1764
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,759
Speaker 6: like it was interviewed that you know that she watched

1765
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 6: as this man she'd gotten her whole family up to

1766
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,479
Speaker 6: the bathhouse to a higher level where it was say

1767
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 6: watch this man come out and say, oh my gosh,

1768
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 6: that was my whole family's cabin that just went under.

1769
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 6: That woman said, you know, now we think, oh my gosh,

1770
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 6: why didn't we honk the horn, Why didn't we do something? Well,

1771
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 6: you just it's three o'clock in the morning. You're thinking

1772
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 6: if if the.

1773
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:04,560
Speaker 7: Flood isn't happening.

1774
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 6: That you're afraid of, you're going to be the really

1775
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 6: bad guy for waking everyone at three in the morning.

1776
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 6: I mean, people were having to make those kinds of

1777
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:11,560
Speaker 6: split second decisions.

1778
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 18: Ben, Yeah, yeah, and if I can jump in on

1779
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 18: that too. You know, living in Arkansas, now that we're

1780
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 18: used to this, we're used to seeing weather forecasts that

1781
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:25,879
Speaker 18: are are you know, tornado warnings, no tornado comes, massive flooding,

1782
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 18: no flooding happens. Then you don't get any warning, and

1783
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 18: all of a sudden flooding happens. The you know, the

1784
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 18: the that's how. And it's not even the prediction models,

1785
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 18: it's just the weather. It'll change. You know, There'll be

1786
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 18: clouds that were coming here all of a sudden we're

1787
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 18: getting dumped on and then they disappear. The way the

1788
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 18: weather systems work down here, you can't predict. I mean,

1789
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,719
Speaker 18: it's very very difficult to predict exactly when and where

1790
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 18: that's going to happen. And as you mentioned on top

1791
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 18: of that at the time of that, to try to

1792
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 18: to try to second guess, oh yeah, you know, how

1793
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 18: do we do that?

1794
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 24: The other thing?

1795
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 6: But I'm so sorry then we're yelling in my but

1796
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 6: thank you so much for being so generous with your

1797
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 6: time and your heart and your prayer. And some American

1811
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 1: let's get right into what's in the cup today, and

1812
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about sour grapes and bitter herbs. Check out

1813
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: this headline which reads Democrats project doom and gloom, not

1814
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 1: celebration with Fourth of July messages. We're talking about people

1815
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: who are actually at the helm of the United States.

1816
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 1: First up, the woman who might have been the first

1817
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 1: female president of the United States who now can't just

1818
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: seemed not to spit poison. Unlike her word salads that

1819
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: left us all pretty confused. The former vice president was

1820
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: straight to the point and said, quote this fourth of July,

1821
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 1: I'm taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now.

1822
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 1: They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

1823
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:40,879
Speaker 2: She wrote.

1824
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 1: President Obama taking it one step further, saying, quote, at

1825
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: this moment in history, when core democratic were principles seem

1826
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 1: to be continuously under attack, when too many people around

1827
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: the world have become cynical and disengaged, now is precisely

1828
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we

1829
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,679
Speaker 1: can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful

1830
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 1: and practical ways for ordinary people.

1831
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:07,200
Speaker 2: That's from the former president. There.

1832
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: Let's bring in David and doctor Gina to discuss this

1833
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more. During what should have been a

1834
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: celebratory time and time to celebrate our nation's independence and

1835
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: its history. Some of those comments not really ringing very

1836
01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: patriotic to some people.

1837
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 3: David, Yeah, the doom and Gloom Party, And it's not

1838
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 3: just Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, it's the Democrats writ

1839
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 3: large their messages. You know, Oh my gosh, Trump's Trump's

1840
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 3: evil and the world is collapsing. And what has that

1841
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 3: got them? Got him a second Trump term by the way, China.

1842
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it does feel like doom and gloom

1843
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 6: to them because they have become such a hedonistic, dishonest

1844
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 6: party that they don't have anywhere to go from here.

1845
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 6: There in a literal tailspin downward spiral. And the more

1846
01:34:57,439 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 6: they try to talk their way out of it, it seems,

1847
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 6: the more they just lie and try to deceive the

1848
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 6: American public, and the more the American public distrusts them

1849
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 6: and goes toward the party that you know. I mean,

1850
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 6: let's be honest, the Republican Party is far from perfect.

1851
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 6: I could listen, I can do a laundry list, having

1852
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 6: been involved in this party for decades now. But let

1853
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 6: me say this, many in the Republican Party have taken

1854
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,719
Speaker 6: the lead of President Trump and become much more authentic

1855
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 6: in their approach to politics, you know, just even citing

1856
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 6: their own weaknesses, just being themselves, whether the American public

1857
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,679
Speaker 6: goes that's the way a politician is supposed to act

1858
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 6: or not. Right, So, the Democrats could really take a

1859
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:42,879
Speaker 6: page right now, stop and reflect.

1860
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:43,720
Speaker 7: You know.

1861
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 6: The first thing they honestly need to do is come

1862
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 6: back to God. The Democrat Party did not used to

1863
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 6: be the party of godlessness. It is now and there's

1864
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 6: never going to be a blessing in that. So until

1865
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 6: they wake up to that factoid, then they could maybe

1866
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 6: start to rebuild that. I don't know what they do

1867
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 6: until then, Terrence, I have to.

1868
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: Leave the conversation there. Appreciate you guys's insight. We're back

1869
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: with more American Sunrise after this.

1870
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 6: Welcome back to American soon Rise. I'm back to GEMI

1871
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 6: thank you for joining us today. Thanks to all of

1872
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 6: you in the chat. I just want to say for

1873
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 6: being so I just I don't know, I feel like

1874
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 6: I learned so much there. I know that David and

1875
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,680
Speaker 6: Terrence feel the same way. Before we sign off, we

1876
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,599
Speaker 6: of course want to pray for strength for the victims

1877
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 6: and survivors of the Texas floods. I can't get the

1878
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 6: images out of my head. I feel like, you know,

1879
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 6: there's just so so so many times in life where

1880
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 6: you just you're really called back to who you are

1881
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 6: at your core, and I feel like this, if there's

1882
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 6: one good thing that can be taken out of the tragedy,

1883
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,600
Speaker 6: maybe that's a step into it, David, I don't know.

1884
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what, I think it's okay to

1885
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 3: say I don't know. I think we're all saying I

1886
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 3: don't know not about God. God sits on the throne,

1887
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it, and his purposes are good

1888
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 3: even when we see horrible tragedies. And that's why I

1889
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 3: think a lot of people just can get confused. But look,

1890
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 3: we live in a sinful world, and we live in

1891
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 3: a world that is you know, it's got a lot

1892
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 3: of you know, I mean, these are just tragedies, you know,

1893
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's just a whole lot of theological

1894
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 3: stuff to get through. But let me just say this,

1895
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 3: I so much enjoy being part of RAV because we

1896
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 3: see all of this through a prism of God, and

1897
01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 3: we're just not going to get the coverage anywhere else.

1898
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 3: We're just not, especially as it relates to kind of

1899
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 3: like the mainstream secular television networks. So just what we've

1900
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 3: shown this morning and some of the highlight reels of

1901
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,639
Speaker 3: what we're showing and what we're doing out there, that's

1902
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 3: what it's all about. Covering the news, but doing it

1903
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 3: with purposes that are much high than.

1904
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 2: Just the news.

1905
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1906
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we often talk about, you know, American exceptionalism,

1907
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 1: and I think times like this we really see it

1908
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 1: highlighted when entire communities, when the country comes together to

1909
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 1: help our fellow American. And that's what we're going to

1910
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 1: be seeing over the next several days. We're already seeing

1911
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:20,839
Speaker 1: it happen. And it's just something I appreciate about this country,

1912
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: how in difficult times we all pitch in to try

1913
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: to help our fellow neighbor, to try to help our

1914
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:28,680
Speaker 1: fellow American. And I'm excited about what we can be

1915
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 1: doing here on Raven, what I'll be doing personally as well.

1916
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you have a specially if you have

1917
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 6: a church that you're a member of, find out if

1918
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:38,920
Speaker 6: they have a branch there. I always think it's just

1919
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 6: good to donate locally. I really feel that way having

1920
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 6: been through this tragedy in Alabama.

1921
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 7: We'll be back again tomorrow eight am Eastern. We will

1922
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 7: see you. Then we'll room up next to go boldly

1923
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 7: out live the truth.
