All the stories we watched out 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: of out of Texas heartbreaking. On the other hand, to 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 1: see the kind of devastation that we have seen. As 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: of now, we suspect there are six people that have 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: died as a result of this unprecedented flooding that has 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: taken place in and around the Houston area. I mean, uh, but, 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: and I gotta give Joe Bastardi big props. He was 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: the one saying it's gonna be forty seven forty seven inches, 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: talking about the tides, talking about the impact, talking about 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: areas that have never ever flooded before are gonna be flooded. 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: And he was dead on accurate. And he called it 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: way way days in advance, ending out emails to me 31 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: and my staff that this was coming and this is 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: all gonna happen here. Um. But the rescue continues and 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: the rescue is and have become rescue, recovery and rebuilding. UM. 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: I can't say enough good about You really need three 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: components if you go gonna withstand something like we have 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: witnessed and watched all weekend long, and you need the 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: people first and foremost. The people don't care enough about 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: their fellow neighbors, and they're in it for themselves. You're 39 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: you're done because it's impossible. There are not enough government 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: officials that you could possibly put on any job site 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: when something is this broad, this big, I mean, imagine 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: a drive from New York to Boston is about what 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: four hours, and you're talking about at least four hours 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: in terms of the actual areas and more where where 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: ground that needed to be covered. So you've gotta have 46 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: the people as a part of any effort that you're doing. 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: You also need coordination with local officials, state officials, and 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: the federal government. All three of them came together miraculously 49 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: and they did a phenomenal job. And when you consider 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: the when you consider the land mass that is impacted 51 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: by all of this, and I know you don't want 52 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: one death her and it could have been so much 53 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: more tragic, but for the people of Texas, the spirit 54 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: of the people of Texas, the great work of the governor, 55 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: of the Lieutenant governor is gonna join us on the 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: program today. Uh. Neighbor helping neighbor. I mean we saw 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: this in New York on nine eleven. I mean it 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: was amazing. I mean New Yorkers are not they don't 59 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: care about seemingly don't care about each other. They'll pass 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: people in the streets, they won't look each other in 61 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: the eye, on the subway or in busses. But when 62 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: nine eleven happened, it was all hands on deck. It 63 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: was everybody helping everybody else. And all of a sudden 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: you got corporations setting up free food tents for anybody 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: that was working down at ground zero. You see the 66 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: same spirit happening here. And then this is not going 67 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: away in in two hours, two days. The rain is 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: going to continue. Now, I think, what do we have 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: another potential of rain at this point? So that hasn't stopped, 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: and and you still haven't gotten the full thrust of 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: how bad this is gonna be. How many people have 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: lost their homes. My my niece lives down in the 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Houston area, and uh and she's a doctor down there, 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: And I just I really was inspired watching all of 75 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: you this weekend. But with all of that said, the 76 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: amount of damage and the cost of this damage, I 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: would argue right now is incalculable. I mean home damage. 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: So many of these they don't have flood insurance because 79 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: their area never flooded before. There's gonna be so many 80 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: people that need to get their lives rebuilt here. And 81 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: when you think of all of the effort every one 82 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: of those homes and businesses you see underwater. You just 83 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: gotta think how hard it was for most of those 84 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: people to get those homes. Seriously, I mean if they 85 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: have worked their entire lives to get the down payment, 86 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: they have worked forever. You know much a cost to 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: furnish your house these days, furnishing carpeting tile, Then you're 88 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: gonna be dealing with mold. Then you're gonna have to 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: live somewhere else while you're read building. What you're doing there, 90 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: it is this, This is a life changing event. The 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: trajectory of people's lives now have changed dramatically, and they're 92 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: all gonna need our help and we will be there 93 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: for them like we've I worked with Samaritan's Purse and 94 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: Franklin Graham will check in with us today too, when 95 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: they had this issue down around Baton Rouge, when we 96 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: went down there and Samaritans Purse. You know what, if 97 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: you're an older person, retired and you want to do 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: something with your life, go volunteer with Franklin Graham and 99 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: Samaritan's Purse because they will be their building homes for 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: people that can't afford to build them, rebuilding their lives. 101 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: And it's gonna take years. It's not gonna take months. 102 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna take years to get things back to where 103 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: they need to be. It's gonna take forever for those 104 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: water you know, to finally get out of the way. 105 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: It's not like you can take a wet back and say, oh, 106 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: let me take it out by wet back. So information 107 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: on on how to donate will be giving you later 108 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: in the program. Everything is up on Hannity dot com. Uh, 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: I just work. I prefer Samaritan's Purse. But it doesn't 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: matter who you want to give. To give to any 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: organization you want. I'm not if you can. I mean, 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: some people can't afford it. Don't give anything. We understand 113 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: it's not but these people are going to need our help. 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: And the first thing, first order of business has been amazing. 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: And when you have people helping people, neighbor helping neighbor, 116 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: and then you have competent local government and especially and 117 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: in particularly the governor and lieutenant governor. And then you 118 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: have the governor and lieutenant governor well working and coordinating 119 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: with the federal government. And I talked to all my 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: sources in Washington. The minute they got word that this 121 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: was coming. It was all hands on deck wet. FEMA 122 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: was down there days before this ever started, and and 123 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: supplies were brought in days before this ever started. So anyway, 124 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: it's a lot happening. I'll give you some of the 125 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: stories that really moved me. Again. The death holl now 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: reportedly is at six. Uh. Here's an amazing fact that 127 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: most of you won't know. There is a ten billion 128 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: dollar no pun intended here, rainy Day fund that Texas 129 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: has put away just for something like this. Ten billion dollars. 130 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: It's almost more than every other state combined. And you've 131 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: got to give props to Governor Abbott and props to 132 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: the former governor Rick Perry that they were wise enough, 133 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: smart enough to know that they need some type of 134 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: funding if worst case scenario unfolds in their state, and 135 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: they prepared for this, and and these people that don't 136 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: have insurance, they're gonna need every penny of this. I mean, 137 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: this is this is like Noah's are catastrophic flooding here 138 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: and areas never before, We've never seen anything like this. 139 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: It's never been recorded in history. And this is exactly 140 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: the scenario that job Bastardi was warning everybody about way 141 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: before anybody else, and that I know of in weather 142 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: is that the storm is gonna hit. It went a 143 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: little bit north of the exact local. No, he actually 144 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: I think nailed the location, wasn't He kept saying Rockport 145 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: and that it was gonna go in seventy five miles 146 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: and then it was gonna come back, and it was 147 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: gonna hover, and when it hovered, it was gonna dump. 148 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: He wrote us forty six inches of rain. And then 149 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: we started talking about the high tide on the coastal areas. 150 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: All of it happened. It's it's uh, it's eerily accurate 151 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: in its in its prediction. So you know you've got 152 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: in some place at five ft or rain. These are 153 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: life threatening floods here, and um, you know the President's 154 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna go down tomorrow. There are a few people that 155 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: want to get into politics today. If you want to 156 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: get into politics, I could talk about the stupidity of 157 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: the Houston mayor and I'm just not gonna get there. Um, 158 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: when I saw that elderly couple, that those people in 159 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: the elderly people's home, what do you call that nursing home? 160 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: And I saw that it was up to their waste 161 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at these open they were Calmas could 162 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: be the one lady that was knitting. I wanted to 163 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to race through the TV and give that 164 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: woman a hug. And they were able to rescue all 165 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: of them. And social media played a big part in 166 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: all of this in a way that was frankly unprecedented, 167 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: in ways we've never seen before. I don't know if 168 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: you saw the case. There was a truck that overturned 169 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: and a baby in the truck. Every guy that saw 170 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: that happen race to the truck and save that baby's life. 171 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: That was pretty amazing. And when viral this dog carrying 172 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: a bag of food, that was that was Then you 173 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: got pictures of people that are sitting at their homes 174 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: everything they worked for their entire life.

Even out of case 179 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: as we played coming into this where News Cruise finally 180 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: put their cameras down at times, and and that was 181 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: amazing that they were so helpful. And you got a 182 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: dog that was spotted, chained up and abandoned in Victoria, Texas. 183 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: That was saved. Um. You know you've got these ridiculous stories. 184 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: You know, in the midst of tragedy, sometimes you need 185 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: just a slight bit of humor. But I mean people 186 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: catching fish in their house. I mean, that's how crazy 187 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: this got. Um, look at this pictures. You see this 188 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: picture of this old man being comforted by his dog 189 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: as you look at his house. House is rooted, his 190 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: house is done, and he has no idea. I mean, 191 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: the guy looks about seventy seventy two years old. Somewhere 192 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: in there. This guy doesn't know where he's gonna go next. 193 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't know where he's gonna sleep. Now, he's gonna 194 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: be taken care of. The shelters now have gone up, 195 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: people are being rescued, people are being moved out. You've 196 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: got the trailers that will be ready to move in. 197 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: But we've got to get to that part of it. 198 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Because the storm keeps hovering. We haven't gotten to the recovery, 199 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: rebuilding face. So it's gonna take a little while.

Now. I'm not gonna do a lot of 241 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: politics today, but for Dana Rohbocker is the only day 242 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: he could do the show, and we're gonna have him 243 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: on his meeting with Julian. But it really is difficult 244 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: to comprehend when the mayor of Houston just won't listen 245 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: to anybody, and the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott begged him 246 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: to evacuate, and he went out there and and he's 247 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: defending the decision now, saying it would have been foolish 248 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: to evacuate the people in Houston, and and so on 249 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: and so forth. He wouldn't even return the phone call 250 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: of the governor who was calling to offer help and assistance. 251 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: It'd be like the governor not returning the President's call 252 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: when the President called early on to offer assistance. And 253 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: you know the idea. And I was reading one particular article, 254 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: I think it was a Wall Street journal piece, and 255 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't get gambling with other people's lives here. And 256 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: when I read the comments that it was the right 257 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: decision telling people when the mayor is going to tell people, 258 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: don't get on the road, which is what he said. Well, 259 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: at that point, you you've got to expect, as the mayor, 260 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: people are gonna listen to you. Now, in spite of 261 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: all of that, Governor Abbott said, even he said this Friday, 262 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: even if an evacuation orders not been issued by your 263 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: local official, if you're in an area between Corpus Christie 264 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: and Houston, you need to strongly consider evacuating. So at 265 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, there were twenty four inches 266 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: of rain in twenty four hours, and the areas that 267 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: are covered by the Houston Mayor. And I'm sitting here 268 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: and I'm like thinking, in five fatalities all in Houston. 269 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: We have a report there might have been a sixth 270 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: one now but they all came from Houston. And it's 271 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: very frustrating just to just, you know, tell people don't 272 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: get on the road. Don't get As I was watching, 273 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: I gotta be an interviewed. So why didn't you get 274 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: on the road. Well, the mayor said, don't get on 275 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: the road, and then he got on the road late. 276 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: And as a result of getting on the road late, 277 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: then it becomes problematic and then you still got to 278 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: rescue the people. You had a enough lead time that 279 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: that wasn't necessary. All right, how much worse is this 280 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: gonna get? We'll check in with Joe Bastardi, also the 281 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick joins US Reverend Franklin 282 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: Graham with Samaritan's Purse.

You were pinpoint 333 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: accurate where it landed, pinpoint accuracy, the time it landed, 334 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: pinpoint accuracy, how far inland it went, pinpoint accuracy on 335 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: exactly how much rain would be dumped, how it would 336 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: circle back, how it would stay in one place for 337 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: days and days and days. Um, I know probably you 338 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: wish I was making fun of you at this point. 339 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. What has happened here, Well, it's in 340 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: the one area where it's hitting. It's unprecedented. In Southeast 341 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: Texas as storm stalled there and dumped as much rain. 342 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: But it's not unbelievable if you've studied tropical storm and 343 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: cyclone tracks, and you know I brought up the example 344 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: in eastern eastern Cuban floor four days over the island, 345 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: a hundred inches of rain at Santiago to Cuba. And 346 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: if you study your tropical cyclone tracks globally. One of 347 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: the professors I had at Penn State, Dr John Kerre, 348 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, he made me do He made me go 349 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: look of Pacific typhoons so I could see how wild 350 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: these things can actually get in all all across the globe. 351 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: Because the weather is the weather is the weather. So 352 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: when you when you see something in front of you 353 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: and you recognize the patterns to say, okay, well then 354 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: let me let me let me tap your brain and ask, 355 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: all right, so how many inches have fallen now by 356 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: your calculations, and how many more inches can they expect? 357 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: In these affected areas well. There's thirty five inches of rain. 358 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: It looks like in a wide area, uh standing northeast 359 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to southwest excuse me, a southeast northwest from southeast to 360 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: Houston to northwest and west of the city. And what's 361 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: going on now is it's reaching and we sit back 362 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: on Friday, it's coming back out over the water again 363 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: and the second leg of the journey starting. So what's 364 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: happening is we're starting to see thunderstorms begin to band 365 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: just to the north of the center over coastal Texas, 366 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: and it's raining very hard in Houston in it in 367 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: Houston is getting some pretty strong winds and winds augustin 368 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: an hour around Houston right now. So the big problem 369 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: we have now is this is going to come back 370 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: out over the water and be out over the water 371 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: till Wednesday morning. I think the next landfall is between 372 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: Galveston and Beaumont Port Arthur, and we're going to have 373 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: to watch where these bands bands set up, and they 374 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: may set up again in the area that's been devastated. 375 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: We have to wait until the storm gets out over 376 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: the water to see exactly how it wants to start 377 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: lining itself up. Because now it has to start all 378 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: over again from where it was. So you're basically saying 379 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: that they're now going to get another You're basically saying 380 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: we're halfway done. Well, I think we're halfway. Uh. I 381 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: think Houston's last rain from this occurs early early Thursday morning. 382 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: I think it's by them. It goes by to the 383 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: east of them on Wednesday. I think we're we're six 384 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: seventy five percent done with the totals and most of 385 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: the area, but that means that some of some of 386 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: this more rain and then they can't afford another Trump 387 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: I Sean, I understand that. That's why. You know, when 388 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: I wrote that letter last week, I said this was 389 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: like a catastrophic event coming uh and then at that 390 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: time it was east of the Yucatan, just some thunderstorms 391 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: going off and uh so so and you know, we 392 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: want to also make sure that people on the outer 393 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: banks in Virginia Beach know that they're going to get 394 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: tropical storm conditions tomorrow with what should be IRMA going 395 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: by through there. And it's a it's a kind of 396 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: pattern folks were in close to the United States, that's 397 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: where these storms want to want to rev up in 398 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: fact in ten to fifteen days. Don't be as surprised 399 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: if there's it's right on the east coast and you 400 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: can see this stuff coming based on the pattern. So 401 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do here is this tomorrow morning, this 402 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: thing should be located about fifty miles south southwest of 403 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: Galveston tomorrow evening about fifty miles south southeast of Galveston. 404 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: So then the question is, well, doesn't rev back up again, 405 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: because they can rev up very quickly over that water. 406 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: It had to regain its structure and then it will 407 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: come in just to the east of Galveston. And that 408 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: means and here's something I'm worried about that I haven't 409 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: heard anybody cover. Maybe it's not a not a big deal, 410 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: but I'm worried about Galveston Bay blowing into Galveston from 411 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: the north from the unprotected sun. That now raises That 412 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: now raises a question because you saw the decision of 413 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: the Houston mayor. You wouldn't even take the phone call 414 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: of the governor who left several messages on a cell 415 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: phone and he's out there. He was out there a 416 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: weekend telling people, um, don't get on the road and 417 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: don't evacuate. I mean when a mayor says that, I 418 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: think people tend to be closer to the mayor than 419 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: the governor, and they're gonna listen. And so the only 420 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: way that the only way to evacuate people now I'm 421 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: assuming is by boat or helicopter. Yeah, but I I 422 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: you know, I don't listen. I don't get involved with 423 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: decisions on that matter. Flooding is very different. Floodings are 424 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: very different. But you're described, but you're describing a situation 425 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: where another hurricane force like story ARM is that it's 426 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna go out and regroup and they're gonna be fifty 427 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: miles south of Houston Galveston. Well, what could what could 428 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: happen is that's the worst case scenario. What I'm worried 429 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: about Galveston. I'm worried about Galveston, and I don't I 430 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: don't know what you do with Galveston. Galveston hasn't has 431 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: not had that bad a storm relative to Houston. Galveston's 432 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: rain amounts have been I believe six or ten inches 433 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: I've seen after it goes to Galveston, as they're gonna 434 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: move north from there, Yeah, it'll come, it'll come north 435 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: from here. What I'm worried about is all that water 436 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: that is going into Galveston Bay. Where's it going to 437 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: go if the wind turns to the north, that comes 438 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: back into Galveston from behind rather than you know, from 439 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: the sea wall. So what happens is this Wednesday evening, 440 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: the storm is up up in East Texas on the 441 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: Texas Louisiana border near uh the Sabine River. Then it 442 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: goes over the arcletexts Wednesday night and Thursday on into Arkansas, 443 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: moves northeastward and will be bringing rain into the northeastern 444 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: part of the United States later Saturday and on Sunday. 445 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: That will be that'll be from the remnants of Harvey. Uh, 446 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: what you're going to get on Virginia Beach in those 447 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: places because we you know, we have listeners there and 448 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: they're gonna get fifty wind dust tomorrow and three to 449 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: six inches of rain. And that's a significant system. If 450 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: we weren't talking about Harvey, we'll be talking about that. 451 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: That moves quickly out to see Wednesday, But Texas, you've 452 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: got another forty eight hours real tough forecasting in front 453 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: of us. I believe it's it's not a slam dunk. 454 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: As far as this thing goes the re intensification, I'm 455 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: worried about it. I was. I was working during Umberto 456 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: and saw how fast that thing in two thousand and 457 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: seven red back up in those northwest Gulf coastal waters. 458 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: And this is an area where even in our preseason 459 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: forecast on and we said look out in the northwest 460 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Gulf of Mexico this year because it had the look 461 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: of the overall weather pattern that the Gulf was going 462 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: to be higher than normal activity in this area. All right, 463 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: let me ask about this because look, we're still in 464 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: rescue mode and then when we have to rescue, God 465 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: forbid recovery. I think they did a pretty good job. 466 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: I were not expect thing the death tolled to go 467 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: that high, and a number of factors that I contribute 468 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: to the success, and one is neighbor helping neighbor the 469 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: first and most important. Uh. Then obviously the governor lieutenant 470 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: governor is going to join us later. They did a 471 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: great job, and they coordinated very well and in conjunction 472 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: with the federal government getting everything, you know, prepared for this. 473 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: So my next question is now, how long is it 474 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: gonna take for all this water to recede and and 475 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: go back, and where is it gonna end up going. Well, 476 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert with with hydrology. I do know 477 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: I've been you know, I remember, I remember when the 478 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: tropical Storm Abby came in in sixty four the braws 479 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: is going out of control because I was down in 480 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: College Station. My dad was down there to Texas A 481 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: and m but um, and it took a couple of 482 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: days to get back into its banks. Most of the Texas. 483 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: The problem is you have a lot of a lot 484 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: of the rivers out of the you know, they're out 485 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: of their floodplains. Is a natural floodplain for these rivers, 486 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: and no one builds in there and they're out of 487 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: the floodplain. So I can't really answer how long it's 488 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: going to take to come back to normal. It looks 489 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: to me like that's gonna take a long time. That's 490 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 1: a lot of low standing ground over there. And uh, 491 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: even though rain amounts to the east of Houston this 492 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: summer have been above normal, to the southwest have been 493 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: below normal. Um, you know, it's a difficult question. Its 494 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: probably probably a month before things really get back into 495 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: their banks uh and back to back to normal as 496 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: far as the river flow goes. I will point this 497 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: out though, there's two things to point out that the 498 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: rain amounts in San Antonio that I saw being forecasts, 499 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: it never materialized six or twelve inches of rain. If 500 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: that had happened, San Antonio would have been under water too, 501 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: and you would have had to deal with both Houston 502 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: and San Antonio at the same time. So so it's fortunate. 503 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: And of course Corpus Christie, as bad as it was there, 504 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: you saw that. You saw what the worst was up 505 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: at Rockport and ranch Rockport got slammed, I mean and 506 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: again to put this in perspective, in nineteen six and 507 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: excuse me, nineteen seventy when Celia went into Corpus Christie, 508 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: Rants Pass had wind us a hundred and sixty one, 509 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: so you can imagine that that particular storm. But what 510 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: happened was they kept moving. These storms kept moving. The 511 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: reason why this didn't keep moving, folks, because the jet 512 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: stream is that we have a normally cool air across 513 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: the United States, and so the jetted buckled southwards. The 514 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: normal ridge of high pressure that's across the southern plains 515 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: that keep these things moving west northwest, like you see 516 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: with Carlia and Celia and Gila and all these storms 517 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: that wasn't there. Instead a big upper trough caught it 518 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: and it just got stuck. And you see this happen 519 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: quite off and out in the Atlantic. And so what 520 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: you do is and what I do is I practice 521 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: with storms that are way out in the middle of 522 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: nowhere to see what I'm forecasting with them, to see 523 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: how they behave. And then if I get one near 524 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: close to land, at least I've seen the situation. Let 525 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: me let me ask this because I think it's really 526 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: really important as we now move forward, and we we 527 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: still have thirty of the storm that is yet to hit, 528 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: and Galveston is gonna get whacked again, as you pointed 529 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: out on Thursday. And I guess the next and most 530 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: important thing is um in an area like this. I 531 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: know you know about mold, but all of these homes 532 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: that were flooded, do you have to gut them? Well? 533 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: I I can't. I can't. You're getting above my pay grade. 534 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: By the way, it's Tuesday night in the Wednesday in 535 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: gay I'm sorry, Okay, that's okay. I don't want to 536 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: be like the Houston mayor here, I want people to 537 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: take it seriously. Okay, Well the I I don't know, 538 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what that situation is and 539 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: how that works out. Molden is gonna be a big issue, 540 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: and that was a problem when we were down on 541 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: Baton Rouge with Samaritan's purse. Is you know, if you 542 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: don't cut it are there's certain things you can do 543 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: in ways you can treat wood, but then the wood 544 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: begins to warp, and you know, you're almost better off 545 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: cutting the whole thing out because at the end of 546 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: the day, it's going to be cheaper than all the 547 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: treatments are gonna give it. I mean all of those homes. Uh. 548 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: You know what though, if it's me right now, I'd 549 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: fight the battle in front of me, get that battle done, 550 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: and then moved to the next battle when it comes. Uh. 551 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: And last question, you saw Steve harrig and nearly being 552 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: blown away with those wind gusts on Friday night on 553 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: TV because you were on with us. Just some people 554 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: understand because you can talk about the fifties, twenties, the 555 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Roaring twenties and whatever hurricane happened to any place in 556 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: the world and give us pinpoint details which we love 557 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: and admire about you. Um, but you also were a 558 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: big storm chaser, and you know what that feels like 559 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: to have a hundred mile per hour wind gusts. We 560 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: only have about twenty seconds described that feeling to two people. 561 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: The highest I probably was in was bell uh in 562 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: seventy six and uh in ninety six and uh standing 563 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: outside of my my dad whose immediate rologist told me 564 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: get that, you know what inside the house because he 565 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: had been through the hurricane is in Providence, Rhode Island, 566 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: and uh it isn't It's an incredible feeling. You know, 567 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: the wind is the wind. When the wind doubles its 568 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: wind speed, it's not just oh it's twice as much force. 569 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: The force increases exponentially. And the only way to replicate 570 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: that is to is to be is to be in 571 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: a wind tunnel. I gotta I gotta role.

Joining us now 615 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: is California Congressman Dana Roharbucker is back with us. UH. Congressman, 616 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: let me start with you about the hurricane relief and 617 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: and then the President just said, we've never seen you know, 618 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: this type of flooding and raining in areas that that 619 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: frankly don't flood and you don't have a problem. I can't. 620 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: I think it's incalculable the damage that we see. What 621 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: will Congress do as they get back in session after 622 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: Labor Day. Well, you have to remember the president. This 623 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: president as differentiated from the Republican position before, which I 624 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: have been part of all my life, is that we 625 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: should focus on building infrastructure. And uh quite frankly, Republicans 626 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: have been very concerned about balancing the budget and that's 627 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: been the highest priority, etcetera, etcetera. Well, this president hasn't 628 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: made that as priorities priority. If you're building the infrastructure 629 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: means it will make us UH capable of handling this 630 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: type of natural crisis. So he's actually in a in 631 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: a good spot right now because he's positioned himself on 632 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: building the infrastructure we need to keep America is safe 633 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: even from natural disaster. Yeah, well, said Congressman. Um. Let 634 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: me talk about this whole issue with Juliana Sang. I 635 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: think I've interviewed him more than anybody else in the country, 636 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: and I've had him on radio, and I've had him 637 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: on television, and I wanted to get your thoughts. You 638 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: you are the only congressman to ever take the time 639 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: to go and interview him. And meanwhile, all we have 640 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: heard is conspiracy theory after conspiracy with no evidence presented. 641 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: And he's never been proven wrong with wiki leaks in 642 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: eleven years, not one time. And he was very clear 643 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: on this program saying it was not Russia, that Russia 644 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the leak. Let me let me, 645 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: let me play him saying that to you hang on 646 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: one sec the Russian government. So, in other words, let 647 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: me be clear, Russia did not give you the podested 648 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: documents or anything from the d n C. All right, now, 649 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: you went to meet with him, tell us why and 650 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: what you learned. Well, I am a armed that we have, 651 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: for the first time in our country's history, a concerted 652 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: and organized attempt to basically undo an election to basically 653 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: steal an election that's already happened, by negating the ability 654 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: of our president to put in place his policies and 655 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: to basically undermine his efforts to establish his administration as 656 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: was given to him. The authority was given to him 657 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: by the voters. And this blatant power grab has been 658 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: excused by a the most incredible deluge of of of 659 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: false information and innuendo about the Russian government having colluded 660 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: with President Trump or Trump during the election, when there 661 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: is no evidence to suggest that, and the one piece 662 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: of evidence that we have that there was uh some 663 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: something that was released during the during the campaigning. The 664 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: person who most responsible for that and knows the information, 665 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: knows how how that information and the DNC got out, 666 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: he denies, And when I met him, adamantly, as you 667 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: just played on your show, Sean, the Russians had nothing 668 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: to do with it. Well, if they didn't, that means 669 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: that the American people are being it's a con job, 670 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: being led to a power grab. What I mean, what 671 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: would that mean? Now? Again, I think this is very 672 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: important in pointing out here Wiki leaks has never gotten 673 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: a single thing wrong in eleven years now. If you 674 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: look at all the coverage of Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Well, 675 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: the New York Times has been wrong again and again 676 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: and again, the mainstream media again and again, outright conspiracy theories, 677 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: tinfoil hat, bizarre conspiracy theories on cable, you know, with 678 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: me being the exception every single night, The Washington Post wrong, 679 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: the New York Times wrong. Wiki leaks has never been wrong. 680 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: And isn't he the one on the face of this 681 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: earth that would know where he got the information from. Well, 682 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: here's the irony of it, Sean, is no one is 683 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: claiming that the information that was released was inaccurate. You know, 684 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: none of them are claiming, Oh, they put out false 685 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: information which affected the election. Now, whatever was put out 686 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: by WEEKI Leagues was had no impact, they said over 687 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: and over again, they said, everybody said no impact, no 688 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: evidence of any impact was Well, they had, but it 689 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: was releasing factual information and the only person. So they're 690 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: complaining that the Russians colluded with with Trump to release 691 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: factual information. Okay, now that they had to go in 692 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: and steal it. WEEKI League somebody stole it from the 693 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: d n C. But it wasn't the Russians to keep 694 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: hearing it was the Russians. Julian says it wasn't. And 695 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: what's more important than my discussion with him, Sean, it 696 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: became clear that he was willing to to he will 697 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: be willing, we hope, and we're working on now a 698 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: procedure of how to move forward and he will disclose 699 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: exactly who did uh leak that information and it wasn't 700 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: the Russians. But we already have all and give us 701 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: proof that it wasn't the Russians, and we can we 702 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: know that there's been some intelligence of these these veteran 703 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: intelligence officers have already looked into it and said it's 704 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: clear just by the fact that this was downloading and 705 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: not hacking, and thus it had to be an inside 706 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: job rather than a hacking from the outside, which indicates 707 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: that it was somebody in the inside and not some 708 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: Russian hack from the outside which released the information to 709 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: wiki leaks. All right, if that's the case, sir, I mean, 710 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: what you're saying is that the whole reason for the 711 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: Special Council was would really be non existent. Do here's 712 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: my question, do you believe Julian Assange and do you 713 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: believe he has the credibility. I'll give you my my 714 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: opinion is I do but leave him well. I believe 715 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: that Uh listen, Julian assan Osang is as doing things. 716 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: He's a moralist, he's an idealist, and he wants to 717 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: get any information to the people of the world that's 718 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: that's truthful information that's being kept from them by their government. 719 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that he is lying 720 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: right now. There's no means, there is no U say, 721 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: motive for him to do so, and he will. However, 722 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 1: he has the evidence now, he knows who gave him 723 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: the information, and I believe that if he releases that 724 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: which he's willing to show how he got the information, 725 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: it will it will just basically disclose to the American 726 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: people that they have been the victim of one of 727 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 1: the worst and most historic con jobs in the history 728 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: of our country in order to steal the election results 729 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: away from Donald Trump, who the voters voted for.

Not even any members of the Congress 736 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: and investigative committees. Now let me just note this so 737 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: people will understand. People say, why is Dana Ruhbacher.

I mean, based 802 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 1: on your conversations, do you think that this false Russian narrative, 803 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: that they're top American leftist democrats, what liberals that knew 804 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 1: what they were doing, and that they purposely, you know, 805 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: manufactured this. Do you believe that I think that they 806 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: took advantage of of of what was a negative and 807 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: turned it into a positive. The negative was they got 808 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: all this information they were trying to keep secret from 809 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: the American people. It was disclosed through this WEEKI leaks 810 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 1: establishment uh that that that serves as a vehicle to 811 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: get information to the people. And once the information was 812 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 1: and made them look really bad and and helped lose 813 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: the election. So they created a red herring, and they 814 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: created the big bad Russian wolf, if you will, all 815 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: on the purpose of distracting. And then the narrative got 816 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger with their helps in the compliant media. Well, 817 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: once the information was out, they've tried to turn a 818 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: limit into lemon aid by saying, oh, we're reading hurt 819 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: by this information. But let's let's take a look. We 820 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: can say that this was collusion on the part of 821 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: the Russians and will blame it on the Russians. So 822 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: what they did is repeat over and over and over 823 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: and over again and attempt to divert the American people 824 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,800 Speaker 1: from any Look, how certain are you negative? How certain 825 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 1: are you everything you're telling me and my audience right 826 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: now is true? How certain are you that laws were broken? Um? Well, 827 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not certain about that. Well, I'm certain. No, I'm 828 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: not certain about that. I'm not certain what we certainly 829 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: know that you can't. You can't mishandle classified information and 830 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: destroy classified secret and special Access program information. We know 831 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: that you can't smash government hard drives. We know that 832 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: something's under subpoena and you don't hand it over. That's 833 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: called obstruction, isn't it. Yeah. I have not analyzed that 834 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: part of this, of this scenario yet, and uh that 835 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: I think that you will fall Congressman.

Alright, until the top of the our 939 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: top story remains the tragedy the flooding. What is the 940 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: worst in the history of Southeast Texas. Now, the President 941 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: is doing a joint press conference. We just gave you 942 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 1: the president's statement while we were away. The President of 943 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: Finland gave his statement. So we're just gonna pick it 944 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: up with the first question just literally one minute ago 945 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,720 Speaker 1: to the President. So we'll take a couple of questions. 946 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 1: How about we go to Texas? Uh Todd Gilman, God, 947 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: thank you. President. UM. I'm wondering what you can tell 948 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,919 Speaker 1: the people of Texas to expect in terms of long 949 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: term recovery efforts, and in particular, you have been feuding 950 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:46,240 Speaker 1: with some key congressional leaders. You've also threatened a government 951 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 1: shutdown potentially next month over border wall funding. Um, are 952 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 1: these going to hamper long term the funding that will 953 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,359 Speaker 1: be needed long term for recovery. No, Judd, I think 954 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 1: that you're gonna see very rapid action from certainly from 955 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: the President, and you're gonna get your funding. It's a 956 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 1: terrible tragedy. Your governor has been absolutely outstanding and the 957 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,799 Speaker 1: job he's done in his entire staff, and I will 958 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: say that I just spoke with Greg and he is 959 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,959 Speaker 1: working seven. We expect to have requests on our desk 960 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: fairly soon, and we think that Congress will feel very 961 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 1: much the way I feel, very in the very bipartisan way. 962 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: That will be nice. But we think you're going to 963 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: have what you need and it's going to go fast. 964 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 1: Texas is a unique place. It's a great, great state, 965 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 1: great people, and I think you'll be up and running 966 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: very very quickly, really very quickly. So uh yeah, I 967 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: think you're gonna be in fantastic yep. I've already spoken 968 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: to Congress, and everybody feels for you and feels for 969 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: what you're going through. But at the same time they 970 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 1: have great respect, even additional respect for the state because 971 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: you've handled it so well, so brilliantly. But it's a 972 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 1: long road still pouring, still a lot of right, nobody's 973 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: ever seen anything like it. They've I've heard the words epic, 974 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,359 Speaker 1: I've heard historic. That's what it is. But you will 975 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: have what you want. I think very very quickly. Uh 976 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: and Todd, you can ask a question to the president. 977 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: Thank you. Does this situation make you reconsider the possibility 978 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: of a government shutdown next? I think it has nothing 979 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: to do with it. Really, I think this is separate. 980 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 1: This is going to go really very very quickly. Again, 981 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,240 Speaker 1: I've spoken to many of the people were talking about 982 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: and everybody feels the same way I do. And thank you, 983 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 1: and Mr President, I wanted to ask you your neighbor 984 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,800 Speaker 1: Russia has meddled in US politics. They have a military 985 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 1: exercise coming up in the next few weeks in the 986 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: Baltic their tensions over there. What kind of advice have 987 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: you offered and can you offer to the United States 988 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: in dealing with this adversary. So we are not feeling 989 00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: all thoseselves as advice as but we are feeling ourselves 990 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: as doing all what is possible to maintain peace. And 991 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 1: that is what we are doing in politics see area 992 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: too with the Actually you refer to a different kind 993 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: of military training which is going to happen there. I 994 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 1: have to tell you that a couple of weeks ago 995 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 1: I met President Putin and there were media interested in 996 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 1: why Chinese navy is having a training together with Russians 997 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: in Boltics Sea area. Putting answered that it is not 998 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: a block, it's not against anybody. My answer was that 999 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: we are also training in politics see with the United 1000 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: States and Sweden, and it is not a block. It's 1001 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: not against anybody. So we have to be very careful 1002 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 1: that this huge training, huge military trafficking over politics doesn't 1003 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: cause any accidental problems because we know that from accidents 1004 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 1: might grow whatever, and that is why I think it's 1005 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 1: important that we continue to work with NATO to enhance, 1006 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: like I said, dialogue between Russia and NATO, and it 1007 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: is going forward. Good question finished broadcasting company? Where you 1008 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: are okay? Thank you, Mr President. I have a question 1009 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: to our President Trump, if I may, as a president. 1010 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 1: Minister told he's been raising the easy about the security 1011 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: situation in the politics region and this politics See specifically, 1012 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 1: and has been concerned about the Russian planes flying there 1013 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: without transponders on. So my question to you, Mr President 1014 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 1: would be Mr Trump, would you consider RUSSA as a 1015 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: security threat? Thank you? Well, I consider many countries as 1016 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: a security threat. Unfortunately, when you look at what's going 1017 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 1: on in the world today. As you know, a few 1018 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 1: weeks ago, our great Vice President Mike Pants who's right here, 1019 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: was in the region and spent quite a bit of 1020 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: time there. We consider that a very very important part 1021 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: of the world. We have great relationships there. We have 1022 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: a great relationship with Finland, and so I would consider 1023 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: many countries threats. But these are all threats that will 1024 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 1: be able to handle if we have to. Hopefully we 1025 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 1: won't have to handle them, but if we do, we 1026 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: will handle them. Can I have a follow up? As 1027 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: he had also? So if the situation in the Baltic 1028 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 1: were to escalate, what would the US be ready to 1029 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: do in that unfortunate circumstances. We are very protective of 1030 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: that region. That's all I can say. We are very 1031 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: very protective. We have great friends, they're great relationships that 1032 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: were extremely protective. Ok, thank you, sir. Um a question 1033 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: for the president? Yes, no, sometimes do you have a 1034 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: question for the president? Do you have a question for 1035 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: the president somebody else? Can you don't have to? Mr? 1036 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: President's landon media from Finland, did you speak about climate 1037 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 1: change at all? And what about your Mr President needs 1038 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 1: to initiative about cleaning up the Arctic and doing it 1039 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: together with the United States. What kind of response did 1040 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: your idea receive Here in Washington, d C. We discussed 1041 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 1: a lot about black carbon, and to explain to everybody 1042 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: what happens is that from atmosphere black carbon covers the Arctic, 1043 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 1: and we know what happens when sun shine meets black 1044 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: it melts the ice. And the problem is not only Arctic. 1045 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 1: If we lose the Arctic, we lose the clobe that 1046 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 1: is reality. So we must fight up against those emissions 1047 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: spreading black carbon. I understood that the United States is 1048 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 1: going to put it in half, and we know that 1049 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: black carbon sources are a lot of them in Russia. 1050 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 1: They are old fashioned energy plants producing heating. The other 1051 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 1: problem is flaring. You know that in oil fields they 1052 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: flare up the extra cars and the amount is huge. 1053 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: Yearly they flare forty times more than finland spent cars. 1054 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 1: So if we can and here comes also a business 1055 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,040 Speaker 1: to picture, it would be a good business to renew 1056 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: those old fashioned plants to make more with less energy. 1057 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 1: It would be a business to stop flaring, to take 1058 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 1: use of that gas which is now burnt. For Wayne 1059 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and I think that these elements are shots that we 1060 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: can continue discussing in Arctic Council. We have herited the 1061 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: chairmanship from United States and we continue the work. We 1062 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 1: had a very good discussion in particular on the Arctic 1063 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 1: and black carbon, and I think we have much an agreement. 1064 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: One of the things we also agree and we want 1065 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 1: crystal clean water and we want clean air, the cleanest ever, 1066 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:08,760 Speaker 1: very important, So we have a lot of agreement. John Roberts, yes, h, 1067 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Mr President, thank you so much. President need you still 1068 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 1: have a question for you as well, But if I 1069 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 1: could start with President Trump, in the middle of Hurricane 1070 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 1: Harvey hitting on Friday night, you chose to pardon former 1071 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: sheriff Joe R. Pyo. I wonder if you could tell 1072 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,480 Speaker 1: us what was behind your thinking for issuing the pardon 1073 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 1: for the sheriff, and as well, what do you say 1074 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,600 Speaker 1: to your critics, even some in your own party who 1075 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 1: say it was the wrong thing to do. Well, a 1076 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: lot of people think it was the right thing to do. 1077 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 1: Joan and actually in the middle of a hurricane, even 1078 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 1: though it was a Friday evening. I assumed the ratings 1079 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 1: would be far higher than they would be normally. You know, 1080 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 1: the hurricane was just starting, uh, And I put it 1081 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: out that I had pardoned as we call, as we say, 1082 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Sheriff Joe. Uh. He's done a great job for the 1083 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: people of Arizona. He's very strong on borders, very strong 1084 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 1: on illegal immigration. He is loved in Arizona. I thought 1085 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: he was treated unbelievably unfairly when they came down with 1086 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,240 Speaker 1: their big decision to go get him right before the 1087 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 1: election voting started, as you know, and he lost in 1088 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 1: a fairly close election. He would have won the election, 1089 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,280 Speaker 1: but they just hammered him just before the election. I 1090 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: thought that was a very very unfair thing to do. 1091 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: When I mentioned him the other night, you saw the 1092 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 1: massive crowd we had. The people went crazy. When I 1093 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 1: said what do you think of Sheriff Joe or something 1094 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: to that effect. The place went absolutely crazy. When I 1095 01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 1: was in Arizona last week. And as far as Pardners 1096 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: are concerned, I actually did this just before the minute 1097 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 1: because I assumed that somebody would ask me the question. 1098 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know it would be you. As you can attest, 1099 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: you didn't even know you're gonna be called, but I 1100 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 1: thought I would. And you know, Sheriff Joe is a 1101 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 1: great veteran of the military, great law enforcement person. Uh, 1102 01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: somebody that's won many many elections the state of Arizona. 1103 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: But I wanted to look at some of the other 1104 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: people that were pardoned over the years. And if you 1105 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 1: look at as an example, President Clinton pardoned Mark Rich, 1106 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: who was charged with crimes going back decades, including illegally 1107 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 1: buying oil from Iran while it held fifty three American hostages. 1108 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 1: Wasn't allowed to do that, selling to the enemies of 1109 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,360 Speaker 1: the United States. He was pardoned after his wife donated 1110 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clintons. Then you 1111 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: have dangerous criminals. President Clinton pardon Susan Rosenberg, a member 1112 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: of the Weathered underground charge as part of a bank 1113 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: robbery that led to a guard and two police officers 1114 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: being killed. Drug dealers. President Clinton commuted the sentence of 1115 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 1: Carlos Vignali, a central player in a cocaine ring that 1116 01:05:54,000 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: stretched from California to Minnesota. Uh. Criminal leaker, You've heard 1117 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 1: the word leaker. President Obama commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, 1118 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 1: who leaked countless sensitive and classified documents to Wiki Leaks 1119 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 1: perhaps and others, but horrible, horrible thing that he did. 1120 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:23,840 Speaker 1: Commuted the sentence and perhaps pardoned. President Obama commuted the 1121 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 1: sentence of Oscar Lopez Rivera, who was charged as part 1122 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: of a violent independence group from Puerto Rico responsible for 1123 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: twenty Chicago area bombings and many deaths in the nineteen 1124 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: seventies and nine eighties. Sheriff Joe is a patriot. Sheriff 1125 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: Joe loves our country. Sheriff Joe protected our borders, and 1126 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Sheriff Joe was very unfairly treated by the Obama administration, 1127 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 1: especially right before an election, an election that he would 1128 01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: have won. So and he was elected many times. So um, 1129 01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: I stand by my pardner of Sheriff Joe, and I 1130 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: think the people of Arizona, who really know him best, 1131 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 1: would agree with me. Thank you very much, Mr President. 1132 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to claim pressions that you did all the research, 1133 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 1: but I'm afraid I have to confess the question was 1134 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 1: fairly obvious and President Nina stuff. I'm sure the President 1135 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Trump either briefed you today or you're aware of his 1136 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 1: new plan for Afghanistan that really relies at its core 1137 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: in bringing the Taliban to the table for negotiations. Given 1138 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 1: the history and the ideology of the Taliban, do you 1139 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 1: ever believe that they would honor any kind of an 1140 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,880 Speaker 1: agreement that was ever made, or would they when the 1141 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 1: United States, in Finland and other countries leave Afghanistan reneg 1142 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:53,760 Speaker 1: on that deal. Yes, First of all, I want Landhaspin 1143 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:58,400 Speaker 1: involved from the very beginning to all the attempts to 1144 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,320 Speaker 1: solve the citation in Afghanistan. We have troops there, we 1145 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 1: have also financial aid going on all the time. We 1146 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 1: have to try, we have to try in all possible 1147 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 1: ways to solve the situation in Afghanistan. It has been 1148 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: ongoing quite a long time, for decades. But a right 1149 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 1: to the stations along the Sean Hannay Show network, we 1150 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: are going to continue with this reminder that the Lieutenant 1151 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,680 Speaker 1: Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick joins us. Reverend Franklin Ram 1152 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: will be joining us in the last hour of the program. 1153 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: Will continue with this press conference, giving stations now an 1154 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: opportunity to break away at the usual time. These elements 1155 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 1: has to be all the time present when you discuss 1156 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: with which ever party in Afghanistan. Okay, I know there 1157 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 1: might be a couple of more questions, but do you 1158 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: want to take one more? Would you want to take 1159 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: one more? Go ahead? Pick please again, but you're going 1160 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 1: to give her the same one. No, she's not the same. 1161 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:15,560 Speaker 1: Go ahead. They're sitting at blood women in Finland. Mr 1162 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: President Trump, what kind of role do you see as 1163 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 1: Finland having in the US Russia relations? Do you think 1164 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 1: Finland could be of assistance helping us get better relations 1165 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: with Russia. Well, I hope that we do have good 1166 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: relations with Russia. I say it loud and clear. I've 1167 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: been saying it for years. I think it's a good 1168 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 1: thing if we have great relationships, or at least good 1169 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:38,799 Speaker 1: relationships whether Russia. That's very important, and I believe someday 1170 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: that will happen. It's a big country, it's a nuclear country. 1171 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: It's a country that we should get along with, and 1172 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 1: I think we will eventually get along with Russia. Finland 1173 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,639 Speaker 1: is respected by Russia. Finland has been free of Russia 1174 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 1: really just about one of the few countries in the 1175 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: region that has been for a hundred years. And Russia 1176 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for Finland. That's always good, 1177 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: but I think Finland is doing fine with Russia, and 1178 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: I hope that the United States will someday be able 1179 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 1: to have a very good relationship with Russia. Also. I 1180 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: think that's very good for world peace and for other things. 1181 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. As a follow up, if Finland's relationship with 1182 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: Russia were to deteriorate, right, would the US What kind 1183 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 1: of assistance would the US be willing to give to 1184 01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,720 Speaker 1: Finland bilaterally if we needed it? Well, as I said 1185 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 1: before that you know, our relationship with Finland is a 1186 01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,759 Speaker 1: very close one and we're always ready to help Finland. 1187 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: One of the things that is happening is you're purchasing 1188 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 1: large amounts of our great F eighteen aircraft from Boeing, 1189 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: and it's one of the great planes, one of the 1190 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: great fighter jets. And you're purchasing lots of other military equipment. Uh, 1191 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,360 Speaker 1: and I think purchasing very wisely. I know all of 1192 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 1: the military equipment, and I actually agree with everything you purchased. 1193 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,800 Speaker 1: We talked about it before. I think Finland is really 1194 01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: a respected country militarily. It's got large armed forces for 1195 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: its size as a country, really proportionately, probably one of 1196 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,720 Speaker 1: the biggest in the world. If you think of it, 1197 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,600 Speaker 1: but they're very respected militarily and they're respected beyond militarily, 1198 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 1: so hopefully it will never come to that. Thank you, 1199 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: and President Minista. President Minister, did you discuss Russia and 1200 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,920 Speaker 1: uh did you offer any assistance to the US with 1201 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 1: their relationship with Russia? Well, we, like I said earlier on, 1202 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: we did discuss about Russia. But actually I don't feel 1203 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: myself for Finland being any advisor to anybody, but we 1204 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: try to do our best and hopefully we get also 1205 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 1: results from that. I want to remind you that in 1206 01:11:53,960 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 1: NATO needing a year ago approximately it was eight by 1207 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 1: all NATO countries that with Russia, you have to be 1208 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: deterrent spots, you have to exercise dialogue to these two 1209 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: way elements have to be there. Yeah, go ahead, thank you. 1210 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 1: Mr President Trade inks with One American News in the 1211 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,960 Speaker 1: aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Do you believe that cutting FEMA's 1212 01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,479 Speaker 1: budget is the right thing to do now? I think 1213 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,400 Speaker 1: what's going to happen is the FEMA money is relatively 1214 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 1: small compared to the rebuilding money. So FEMA right now 1215 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,479 Speaker 1: we have the money necessary for Texas and Louisiana if 1216 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 1: we need, but the all you know, the real number, 1217 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 1: which will be many billions of dollars, will go through Congress. 1218 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,600 Speaker 1: I think it will happen very quickly. It will go 1219 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: very fast. And I want to congratulate you on the network. 1220 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,360 Speaker 1: It's a great network. Thank you. If I may follow 1221 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 1: up on one other question test earlier, the Southern border wall. 1222 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 1: Is your plan still to have Mexico pay for the wall? Yes, well, 1223 01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,640 Speaker 1: one way the other Mexico is going to pay for 1224 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 1: the wall. That's right. It may be through reimbarrassment, but 1225 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: one way the other Mexico will pay for the wall. 1226 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 1: Where right now? Negotiating NAFTA h In my opinion, Mexico 1227 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,679 Speaker 1: has been very difficult, as they should be. Why wouldn't 1228 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,960 Speaker 1: they be. They had a sweetheart deal for so many years. 1229 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 1: It's one of the great deals of all time for them, 1230 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 1: one of the worst trade deals ever signed. I guarantee you, 1231 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:23,799 Speaker 1: Mr President Finland, would never have signed NAFTA with Russia 1232 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:25,680 Speaker 1: or whoever you wanted to. This is not a deal 1233 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,680 Speaker 1: that you would want to sign, and this is not 1234 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 1: a deal that Finland would know about. Uh. NAFTA is 1235 01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 1: one of the worst trade deals ever signed at any 1236 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: time anywhere in the world. And I can understand why 1237 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,679 Speaker 1: Mexico is being difficult, because why wouldn't they be They've 1238 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: had it their way, But no, Mexico will pay for 1239 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 1: the wall, and maybe through reimbarrassment. We need the wall 1240 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,920 Speaker 1: very badly. As you know, Mexico has a tremendous crime problem, tremendous, 1241 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 1: one of the number two or three in the world. 1242 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 1: And that's another reason we needed and the just to 1243 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 1: add on, tremendous drugs are pouring into the United States 1244 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 1: at levels that nobody's ever seen before. This happened over 1245 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: the last three to four years. In particular. The wall 1246 01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 1: will stop much of the drugs from pouring into this 1247 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: country and poisoning our youth. So we need the wall. 1248 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 1: It's imperative. We may fund it through the United States, 1249 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 1: but ultimately Mexico will pay for the world. If I 1250 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,920 Speaker 1: may follow up on Tuesday, you said, if we have 1251 01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 1: to close down our government, we are building that wall. Well, 1252 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 1: I hope that's not Let me just have our government. Yeah, 1253 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 1: I hope that's not necessary. If it's necessary, we'll have 1254 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 1: to see, but I hope it's not necessary. The wall 1255 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 1: is needed from the standpoint of security. The wall is 1256 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 1: needed from the standpoint of drug tremendous, the drug scourge, 1257 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: what's coming through and the through that area, through the 1258 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 1: areas that we're talking about. As you know, I have 1259 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 1: General Kelly here. We stopped traffic coming through. It's going 1260 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,880 Speaker 1: to be I think this quarter, which is a record 1261 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 1: in other administrations. If they stopped it just a little 1262 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 1: a bit like one or two or three percent, they 1263 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 1: consider that a great thing. We're up to almost will 1264 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 1: soon be over. But you need the wall to do 1265 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 1: the rest, and you need the wall for the drugs. 1266 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,639 Speaker 1: The drugs are a tremendous problem. The wall will greatly 1267 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 1: help with the drug problem, and ultimately that's a good 1268 01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,080 Speaker 1: thing for Mexico. Also, we have a very good relationship 1269 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 1: with Mexico. But I will say that dealing with them, 1270 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 1: I've always said I've talked about and after You've heard 1271 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,559 Speaker 1: me many times, and I've said that we will either 1272 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,240 Speaker 1: terminate it or renegotiate it. We're in the process of 1273 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: renegotiating right now, renegotiating the deal. I believe that you 1274 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,080 Speaker 1: will probably have to at least start the termination process 1275 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 1: before a fair deal can be arrived at. Because all right, 1276 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 1: that's the end of the press conference actually right there 1277 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,280 Speaker 1: timed out perfectly. When we come back, the Lieutenant Governor 1278 01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: of the Great State of Texas, Stan Patrick, talk about 1279 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,639 Speaker 1: the coordinating of efforts and support and help and rescue 1280 01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 1: and of course rescue, recovery and rebuilding. Reverend Franklin Graham, Samaritans, 1281 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: purst what they have in store to help all of 1282 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:07,000 Speaker 1: our friends in Texas in need. And your calls eight one, 1283 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: Shawn our number as we continue, stay right here for 1284 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 1: our final news round up and information overload. Uh. He 1285 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: called and said, Governor, whatever you need, you've got uh. 1286 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 1: And this is the quickest turnaround I've ever seen from 1287 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,560 Speaker 1: the time that a governor made a disaster declaration to 1288 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: getting that granted. What that means for the late person 1289 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:32,439 Speaker 1: out there is because the President so swiftly granted my 1290 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: application for a disaster declaration, that means it triggered all 1291 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 1: the resources of FEMA to help Texas. And what you 1292 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 1: will see over the coming weeks and months is a 1293 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 1: tremendous rebuilding from all this damage and a large part 1294 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 1: of that will because of FEMA helping out. And so 1295 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 1: we are very appreciative of the way the President and 1296 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 1: the White House has responded to this catastrophe. All right, 1297 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 1: that's the governor, and obviously things are top story, news, 1298 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 1: round up, information overload. Our here on the Sean Hannity Show, 1299 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 1: what is happening down in Texas. Amazing inspiring stories one 1300 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: after another that we've been following today.

Lieutenant Governor, first, 1302 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers go out to our friends and 1303 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 1: neighbors and fellow citizens down there, and I know, like me, 1304 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,760 Speaker 1: many are going to be donating and offering whatever you 1305 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,080 Speaker 1: guys need. Let's first talk about people's safety and where 1306 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: we are at this moment because the rains continue.

Well, first of all, 1309 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: we are as uh as the governor said that we 1310 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 1: are in a rescue to save lives right now. You know, 1311 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,160 Speaker 1: you do three steps. You know, it's first of all, 1312 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,439 Speaker 1: it's rescue, and then it's rescue and recovery of lost lives, 1313 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 1: and then it's rebuilding. So we are still still in 1314 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,599 Speaker 1: step one, Sean, because this storm in essence is still 1315 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 1: kind of in the first phase. You know, the hurricane 1316 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,439 Speaker 1: hit Rockport, as you know, um, and and think about this, Sean, 1317 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 1: that would be like hurricane hitting New York and then 1318 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,719 Speaker 1: Boston gets flooded because we're about the same distance close 1319 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 1: from Rockport as Boston is to New York. And so 1320 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 1: that's the breath of the storm. And there are hundreds 1321 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: of thousands of people who are displaced from their homes. 1322 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,880 Speaker 1: It could be close to three quarters of a million 1323 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. Either it's a famili's 1324 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 1: home or friends home, or a shelter somewhere. And so 1325 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,080 Speaker 1: right now we're still looking for lives. We're rescuing people 1326 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: off of rooftops and balconies and trees and Shawn, every 1327 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: story is the same. Every story that you see is 1328 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,800 Speaker 1: people just grateful to God for their life, grateful that 1329 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,839 Speaker 1: their families are buy, grateful to either the first responder 1330 01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 1: or the volunteers that help them. And they and because 1331 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,519 Speaker 1: they realize when it gets down to these moments in life, Um, 1332 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 1: the stuff doesn't matter. You can buy a new TV 1333 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,479 Speaker 1: and more furniture, you can get the sheet rock repaired, 1334 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 1: and it may take six months or a year to 1335 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,920 Speaker 1: get all of this done or more, but it's your 1336 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 1: life that matters, and they're so grateful. Sean. These stories 1337 01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: are incredible. I don't have enough time to tell you 1338 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 1: all of them, but it's incredible. And we are sewn 1339 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 1: in a country that is so divided in so many ways. 1340 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 1: Right now, Texas is one. No Democrats are republic and 1341 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 1: no Liberals were conservatives, No black, white and brown. It's 1342 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: neighbor helping neighbor. Volunteers. You know, this movie Dunkirk is 1343 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: about the great uh you know, volunteer effort when when 1344 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: the Armatta went to France to save the soldiers. Well, 1345 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,000 Speaker 1: we have in Armada, not quite as big as the Dunkirk, 1346 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 1: but we have people bringing both from everywhere just jump 1347 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,479 Speaker 1: in the water or getting their high wheel trucks and 1348 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 1: rescuing people. And it's just in this terrible time, it's 1349 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:37,040 Speaker 1: so uplifting to see Texas come together as I knew 1350 01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 1: they would. You really need as you deal with the 1351 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,759 Speaker 1: three phases, Lieutenant Governor, you talk about rescue, rescue, recovery, 1352 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,640 Speaker 1: and of course the rebuilding is going to take an 1353 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: awful long time. And it's look, it's heartbreaking because you 1354 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 1: know what it's like everybody in life, they work their 1355 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: hardest to maybe get a down payment to buy the 1356 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,640 Speaker 1: first home, and and everything they work their entire lives for, 1357 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, now is just gone. And and that's the 1358 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 1: least of the story when you're talking about saving human lives, 1359 01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,680 Speaker 1: but they really to have a successful rescue. I think 1360 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 1: you've got every component in place, and that is you've 1361 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 1: got neighbor helping neighbor, which is amazing. You've got local government, 1362 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 1: state government doing their job. Coordination seemingly to me with 1363 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: the federal government has been amazing. Also. Is there any 1364 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 1: one component that has gone shy short of the Houston 1365 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: mayor defending the decision not to evacuate, which I know 1366 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 1: has become a big controversy. Yeah. Well, first of all, 1367 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 1: let me thank our mutual friend Donald Trump. Um, he 1368 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 1: has uh. He responded not just like a president would sean, 1369 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: but like the CEO of a company, would you know. 1370 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,599 Speaker 1: And that's how he thinks, and that is he's all 1371 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 1: a problem. The governor contacted him with our needs. He 1372 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,880 Speaker 1: contacted the governor. They talked several times early on, and 1373 01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 1: we got out in front of this. So the THEEMA, 1374 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,640 Speaker 1: the FEMA, and the federal government. We're ahead of this. 1375 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 1: By days instead of trailing it by weeks, which we 1376 01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 1: haven't seen in the past. So first of all, you've 1377 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,880 Speaker 1: got a president who thinks like a business guy, tell 1378 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 1: me what you need. He is an action guy. Get 1379 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: it done. Uh. And he's coming to Texas tomorrow. The 1380 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: next thing is the governor and at the state level, 1381 01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 1: we have done the very best weeken getting ahead of 1382 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: this storm, even though it was a short noted storm, 1383 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,000 Speaker 1: a weak or less, and they got very big. And 1384 01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: then you have the local officials. You work in tandem, 1385 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 1: um and and for the most part it's working well. 1386 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,519 Speaker 1: The biggest issue, I would say, Shaun, right now, there's 1387 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 1: so many people needing help. Yesterday the system just in 1388 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 1: Houston had over fifty thou calls. I had a neighbor 1389 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,719 Speaker 1: this morning and I'm in one. I'm in the northwest 1390 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: corner of Houston has been hitting one of the hardest 1391 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,680 Speaker 1: and right now, as I talked to you, I got 1392 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 1: out yesterday. I'm surrounded by water right now. But one 1393 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 1: of my neighbors down the street, their eighty four year 1394 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,240 Speaker 1: old father to list with them, had a stroke and 1395 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,320 Speaker 1: they called one and there was just no answer because 1396 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 1: they're overwhelmed with calls and doing the best they can. 1397 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 1: And so it was, you know, getting someone with a 1398 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 1: high truck to get this eighty four year old fathers 1399 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,240 Speaker 1: had a stroke out to a hospital and thank god, 1400 01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 1: he's doing fine. But it's all of these, all of 1401 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,600 Speaker 1: these issues that you right now, it's not the burocracy 1402 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,640 Speaker 1: that you count on. It's just people doing instantly the 1403 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 1: right thing at the right time. But it starts at 1404 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 1: the top. The President has jumped out there and been 1405 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 1: a significant help to We're very grateful. The governor's doing 1406 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,040 Speaker 1: his job. I'm doing the best to do my job, 1407 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 1: all the all the local lifted officials. But it's the people. 1408 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,639 Speaker 1: It's the fireman, it's the police, it's the coast Guard, 1409 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 1: it's the bottom. What about these guys. The Cajun Navy 1410 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 1: is out again and forced these people are amazing, right, Yeah, 1411 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:29,639 Speaker 1: Well that's why I say it to me. It's it's 1412 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: like it's like our Dunkirk. I mean, it's it's a flotilla. 1413 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 1: I've got a friend of mine bringing a twenty six 1414 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,080 Speaker 1: boat down from from Dallas today driving down here.

And this is when we as 1461 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,880 Speaker 1: a Christian nation would really say to God, Um, it's 1462 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 1: in these times when it's tough that we look to you, uh, 1463 01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 1: and we know it's in all of your will and 1464 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 1: that we will be fine. And I just see that 1465 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: spirit coming alive. And you hate to see things like 1466 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 1: this happened to bring that about. But you know better 1467 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 1: than anyone, because I know your heart and I know 1468 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 1: better than anyone that's who we are as a people. 1469 01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 1: And sometimes we let politics and we let you know, 1470 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,920 Speaker 1: headlines of the day and and and the haters out 1471 01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,960 Speaker 1: there try to divide us. We're not a divided country. 1472 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: We we have a common bond that we love and 1473 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 1: we want to help each other. Lieutenant Governor, I was 1474 01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,760 Speaker 1: here in New York on nine eleven, and we saw 1475 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:17,720 Speaker 1: the same thing happen. I mean instantaneously, people just came 1476 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,760 Speaker 1: out to help their neighbor. They weren't asking what their 1477 01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 1: political orientation was either, you know, I remember, I just 1478 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 1: it sticks in my memory. I mean, Campbell's Soup set 1479 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: up free food immediately for everybody that was working down 1480 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,400 Speaker 1: a ground zero? Um, is there anything now? I'm wiring 1481 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 1: money to Samaritan's person. I've worked with them for years 1482 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,200 Speaker 1: and they are there specifically, yeah, I mean, they're specifically 1483 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,639 Speaker 1: targeting the people in Houston. You know, but so many 1484 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,560 Speaker 1: people I've watched on social media and there are a 1485 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: few haters out there that just want to turn everything 1486 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,879 Speaker 1: into politics. But they're the minority. And you know, but everybody, 1487 01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 1: those of us that are not there, we kind of 1488 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,120 Speaker 1: feel helpless and we want to help out our friends 1489 01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: in Texas. UM, what do you recommend we do? Uh? Well, 1490 01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:00,360 Speaker 1: First of all, our prayers are and never never undermis 1491 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: estimate the power prayer. But number two, money is needed. 1492 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,840 Speaker 1: You know. Look, we will have female dollars and that's 1493 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,840 Speaker 1: why the President has already been so helpful and that 1494 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,000 Speaker 1: will help us in the rebuild and the state we have, 1495 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Thank goodness, we protect our any Day Fund, that's the 1496 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: Economic Stabilization Fund. We have about ten billion in it, 1497 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,880 Speaker 1: which is more than most states combined. But that will 1498 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 1: deck depleted. That's depleted quickly in times like this. UM. 1499 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,920 Speaker 1: And then many people have insurance and many people don't. 1500 01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 1: But when you send into money to Samaritans Purse or 1501 01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 1: you're sending money to red Cross dot org. You're helping 1502 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,759 Speaker 1: the people like those I talked about who have nothing left, 1503 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 1: and there will be some government assistant, but they're gonna 1504 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,320 Speaker 1: have to be people who to rebuild their lives. And 1505 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,960 Speaker 1: so give now as much as you can give your audience. 1506 01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:44,759 Speaker 1: I know it is a very generous in giving audience. 1507 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 1: Sumaritans Purse again is awesome? Or red Cross dot org 1508 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,840 Speaker 1: and help our folks here. And then you know what, 1509 01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 1: people who lived nearby, um uh that they've got a 1510 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 1: vote and they can come here and help. I gotta 1511 01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll come back more with the loot. 1512 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 1: The governor of Texas, he's in Houston now as we speak, 1513 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: still unprecedented rain as we uh as we continue our coverage, 1514 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,839 Speaker 1: and that's Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas. Then Franklin 1515 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,400 Speaker 1: Graham of Samarian's person will join us. All right, glad 1516 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 1: you with us snooze round up information overload hour here 1517 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 1: on the Sean Hannity Show. Our top story is the flooding, 1518 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,040 Speaker 1: the disaster. This is beyond anything they have ever seen 1519 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 1: down in Texas. The Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is with 1520 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 1: us as we continue. But how many people still are 1521 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,560 Speaker 1: out there that you need to rescue? Well, yesterday, just 1522 01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:34,240 Speaker 1: in Houston, we rescued I'm told the numbers and won't 1523 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 1: be official till later rescued about eighteen hundred people. Yesterday 1524 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,720 Speaker 1: we had fifty six thousand phone calls that I may 1525 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 1: have mentioned. Into nine eleven yesterday, we still I mean 1526 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 1: into we still have people on rooftops, We still have 1527 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,639 Speaker 1: people on balconies, and Sean, are we getting them food 1528 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 1: and water in the meantime as the rescue effort moves forward? Nobody? 1529 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 1: In other words, we don't expect any more fatalities here. Um, 1530 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,599 Speaker 1: are we able to get these these people in these 1531 01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: situations the food and water they need to just hang 1532 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,599 Speaker 1: in there till till the will help rise. We're doing 1533 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 1: our best, you know, from a state level, we're doing 1534 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,840 Speaker 1: our best. Volunteers are doing our best, our churches are 1535 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,040 Speaker 1: stepping up. But this is an ongoing issue, Sean. This 1536 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 1: is not like Look, nothing like this has happened in 1537 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 1: American history. You think of the great disasters, the San 1538 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 1: Francisco earthquakes, fire, the Galveston flood. But this is going 1539 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 1: to be sadly maybe at the top of the list, 1540 01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 1: not even when it lost lives, but in terms of 1541 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 1: economic damage, and it's it's incalculable. It's incalculable. And and 1542 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 1: the and the stories you're right about humanity are amazing. 1543 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,800 Speaker 1: Are you glad the President is coming tomorrow? Absolutely? Look, 1544 01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, um, I think this president has done a 1545 01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,679 Speaker 1: great job as president, and and he cares about people. 1546 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,639 Speaker 1: And I know that he loves Texas as he loves 1547 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,719 Speaker 1: every place else, but he's got a fondness for Texas 1548 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 1: and and he was on the phone right away with 1549 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,759 Speaker 1: the governor. And um, I last talked to the President 1550 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 1: three weeks ago before all this happened. But I know 1551 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 1: he's a person of action and he wants to make 1552 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,880 Speaker 1: get this done and and he'll put the right resources 1553 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 1: in and he'll do all I can. So no, we're 1554 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 1: we're happy to have him. He or Texas loves him. 1555 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,760 Speaker 1: He loves Texas and and it will be but it 1556 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 1: will be I opening for him until you can. It's 1557 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: like nine eleven, Shawn, I was not there, and the 1558 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 1: New York many times in my life, but it was 1559 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 1: not there at that time. And I did the pictures 1560 01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,439 Speaker 1: to ever tell the story and uh, you know what 1561 01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand, don't tell the story here. Listen. I 1562 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: saw these elderly people and this goes back to the 1563 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,120 Speaker 1: evacuation and show. I just don't I'm not in a 1564 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,720 Speaker 1: mode where I think anything should be politicized right now. 1565 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,879 Speaker 1: But you know, listen, I understand Texas, and I understand 1566 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 1: it's hard for government to tell anybody they want to 1567 01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:44,519 Speaker 1: stay in their house. If you're an adult and you're 1568 01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:46,639 Speaker 1: capable and you want to take the risk. My attitude 1569 01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:48,680 Speaker 1: is government shouldn't have the right to do that. But 1570 01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 1: when I saw all these old people in a nursing home, 1571 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,559 Speaker 1: they at that point, we've got to make decisions for people. 1572 01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 1: And I saw this poor woman knitting and she's up 1573 01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,680 Speaker 1: literally up to a waste and water and understand that 1574 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 1: part of it. Why did why did they not in 1575 01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,800 Speaker 1: that instance when they were given an evacuation ordered by 1576 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 1: you and the governor, that the local people didn't want 1577 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 1: to do it. I don't understand. Uh, it always happens. Um. 1578 01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:16,559 Speaker 1: There are there are people who just decide they don't 1579 01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,599 Speaker 1: want to leave because that's their possessions. There are other 1580 01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 1: people who can ride it out. And you know what 1581 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 1: it is, so happened so often, Sean. Unfortunately, well, I 1582 01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 1: guess fortunately is the right word. Big storms are predicted, 1583 01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:30,439 Speaker 1: that nothing happens, and after a while people get a 1584 01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 1: little with jaded. Well, you know, it's really not going 1585 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,400 Speaker 1: to be as bad as they say, and every now 1586 01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:36,759 Speaker 1: and then it is. And this is one of those times. 1587 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: And the thing that concerned the governor and the reason 1588 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 1: he said, I think appropriately a few days ago before 1589 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:43,280 Speaker 1: the storm hit, that you know, if you had a 1590 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,920 Speaker 1: few vacation days, get out of Houston, get out of Corpus. 1591 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,400 Speaker 1: And Corpus was spared for the most part because the 1592 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:50,920 Speaker 1: storm moved a little to the right in the last minute. 1593 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 1: But Houston, it was clear Sean. It was clear that 1594 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,599 Speaker 1: we were going to be hit with with somewhere between 1595 01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 1: fifteen and of rain. But there was the penchil is 1596 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:03,799 Speaker 1: to get forty or more. And now we're in that potential. 1597 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,439 Speaker 1: And I note to my own son and to my 1598 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,080 Speaker 1: own daughter. I said to that five grandkids, and I 1599 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 1: said to them, look, you can't risk you can't take 1600 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 1: a chance on the worst won't happened in this case, 1601 01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 1: because if the meteorologicists are correct, and if this storm 1602 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 1: stalls and we get of water, that's unprecedented. It's never happened, 1603 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 1: can happened. And my my my niece is a doctor 1604 01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: and she lives down in Houston and she's sending me pictures. 1605 01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's home is underwater. It's unbelievable. Well listen, 1606 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,760 Speaker 1: Mr Lieutenant Governor, we will, we will take you up 1607 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,800 Speaker 1: on your challenge. The country's with you. We are sending 1608 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 1: our our many thoughts and prayers to our friends in Texas. 1609 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 1: And you guys hang tough as I know you will 1610 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 1: under very difficult circumstances and you have our many prayers, sir. 1611 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,640 Speaker 1: Thank you Sean.

We've got a Texas 1613 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:53,840 Speaker 1: size as far as joined by America will get through 1614 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,799 Speaker 1: to alright.

Are you prepared as 1619 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,880 Speaker 1: FEMA prepared to be there for months? On end uh 1620 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 1: FEMA is going to be there for years, sir Um. 1621 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:35,000 Speaker 1: This disaster recovery, this this disaster is gonna be a 1622 01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 1: landmark event. And uh, we're already in the stage as. 1623 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 1: While we're focused on response right now and helping Texas, 1624 01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:46,599 Speaker 1: you know, respond, we're already pushing forward recovery housing teams.

And then when all that's done, then we 1700 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,400 Speaker 1: come back and we find the people without insurance, we 1701 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:56,000 Speaker 1: find the elderly, and then we'll come back and we'll 1702 01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,760 Speaker 1: help rebuild those homes at no cost.

We look for those that are uninsured, those 1705 01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 1: people that fall through the cracks, and try to help 1706 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,040 Speaker 1: them first. You know, Reverend, I've just known you over 1707 01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,759 Speaker 1: the years, and I've seen your work up close and personal, 1708 01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: and when you make a pledge like that, I know 1709 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:16,280 Speaker 1: you follow through. And I just look, I just have 1710 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:18,840 Speaker 1: so much love and admiration for all the work you do, 1711 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,719 Speaker 1: and you do a lot of other great work around 1712 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,560 Speaker 1: the world. I mean, but people can specifically I know 1713 01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:27,559 Speaker 1: right now, these are fellow Americans, uh Texas in need, 1714 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:30,000 Speaker 1: and they can earmark the money specifically for what you 1715 01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,920 Speaker 1: describe right right, and it will go to that and 1716 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,200 Speaker 1: they can go to our website at americans person dot 1717 01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 1: org and they can find out how to volunteer. But 1718 01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: also if they want to make a donation, they can 1719 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,600 Speaker 1: do it right there. And I've watched I actually was 1720 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,640 Speaker 1: able to work with your group of people when we 1721 01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 1: went down to Baton Rouge and I remember then President 1722 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:52,639 Speaker 1: Trump or candidate Trump or I guess he was elected 1723 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,439 Speaker 1: at that point, I don't even remember, but he went 1724 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:56,800 Speaker 1: down there and he was handing out water and he 1725 01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:01,040 Speaker 1: was donating money. And I know, I just I think 1726 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,439 Speaker 1: it's incalculable how much money you're going to have the 1727 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,960 Speaker 1: need for this. And when you talk about the volunteers, 1728 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 1: I've watched the efforts of Samaritan's Purse over the years. 1729 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:12,360 Speaker 1: You you will find those people without insurance. You will 1730 01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:15,680 Speaker 1: find those people that literally have lost everything in this 1731 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:19,360 Speaker 1: world that they have, and I've watched you rebuild people's 1732 01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:22,200 Speaker 1: homes and lives in the process, and uh, and that's 1733 01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:24,720 Speaker 1: that's why I have such admiration for you. Well, so 1734 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,200 Speaker 1: I'll appreciate that very much. The people of South Texas 1735 01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:31,880 Speaker 1: right now, if you'd like the Houston area where uh, 1736 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:35,560 Speaker 1: they're just innovated with water, that water isn't going to 1737 01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,639 Speaker 1: receive for several days. In matter of fact, you will 1738 01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:39,800 Speaker 1: probably keep rising, maybe for the next twenty four hours 1739 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,599 Speaker 1: or so, and we can't do anything in that area 1740 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,880 Speaker 1: until the water goes down. But when it goes down, 1741 01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 1: what happens is the mold. Everything that gets wet, every 1742 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 1: house that gets wet, every car that gets wet. Uh. 1743 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:56,479 Speaker 1: In those in that warm temperature, the black mold starts 1744 01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:00,280 Speaker 1: to grow and it is extremely dangerous at that point 1745 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 1: even to go into work in these people's homes that 1746 01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:04,600 Speaker 1: where the mold is. And so we just need to 1747 01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,800 Speaker 1: pray for the protection of these volunteers. Um it's uh, 1748 01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,679 Speaker 1: it's tough and it can be dangerous. And you also 1749 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:14,160 Speaker 1: have to understand just things like snakes when when you 1750 01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 1: have floods like this, these snakes are trying to survive too, 1751 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:19,120 Speaker 1: and they crawl up in the rafters and get up 1752 01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 1: into the houses and if that's another issue. So just 1753 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,120 Speaker 1: we ask people to pray, pray for our teams as 1754 01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:27,639 Speaker 1: we go in, and we thank everybody if for their 1755 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:29,640 Speaker 1: financial support because there's a lot of people want to 1756 01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 1: help and every dime counts. Even if a person makes 1757 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,200 Speaker 1: just a small denimation that that is something that that 1758 01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,720 Speaker 1: helps and it all it all goes to helping the 1759 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 1: people of South Texas. Well, you're going to be headed 1760 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 1: down there yourself.

It's just too massive even to think about 1849 01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:50,960 Speaker 1: right now. But we've got to get it done. Absolutely. Yeah. 1850 01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:52,400 Speaker 1: They're they're saying that we could be effective for at 1851 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:54,679 Speaker 1: least three months with standing water. Um and of course 1852 01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: long term there's gonna be a lot more consequences to that. 1853 01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:59,240 Speaker 1: So a lot of it for us is just keeping 1854 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,439 Speaker 1: a great face into been the kids happy, understood, they're concerned. 1855 01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 1: It's like a snow day.

To UM. First off, 1866 01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,720 Speaker 1: prayers to Texas, God bless him, hope all as well. UM. 1867 01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,720 Speaker 1: First thing, I see, I see some light at the 1868 01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 1: end of the tunnel for these people. I see a 1869 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,920 Speaker 1: public works program to make I see where he could 1870 01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:47,280 Speaker 1: take this disaster and move it in a great direction, 1871 01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:52,200 Speaker 1: to make our country and bring industry back to these areas. 1872 01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:56,679 Speaker 1: You know, look, look, I mean I guess at this point, 1873 01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,920 Speaker 1: we're just still focused on all right, the rains still 1874 01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:03,200 Speaker 1: coming down, the flooding is in, the waters rising still dramatically, 1875 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,200 Speaker 1: there's still rescue operations going on, and then we're gonna 1876 01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,560 Speaker 1: have rescue and recovery. The death toll right now is 1877 01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:13,520 Speaker 1: about six uh And when you think of the magnitude 1878 01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 1: and the distance we're talking about here, I mean, you're 1879 01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:19,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about a drive from New York to Boston, 1880 01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:22,880 Speaker 1: which is four hours. That's that's a long distance. So 1881 01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:24,880 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of people that need our 1882 01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:27,880 Speaker 1: help and need our assistance. And you know what, Texas 1883 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,960 Speaker 1: has always been there for the American people, and we'll 1884 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 1: be there for them. That's just the way we roll. Well, 1885 01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,360 Speaker 1: I think I think President Trump is is two steps 1886 01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,120 Speaker 1: to everybody else at that point that he's already putting 1887 01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:39,320 Speaker 1: something in the works of that end. It's being a 1888 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:41,920 Speaker 1: smart businessman that he is. He was two steps ahead 1889 01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:46,640 Speaker 1: of his uh own side. And this is where the 1890 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:48,800 Speaker 1: lieutenant governor who we just had on and this is 1891 01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,160 Speaker 1: where the governor deserve a lot of credit. They were 1892 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,719 Speaker 1: all coordinating as soon as they know the storm was coming. 1893 01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:56,720 Speaker 1: They did everything they could do possibly do. And it's 1894 01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,439 Speaker 1: it's kind of refreshing to see government not screw it 1895 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,080 Speaker 1: up can because they screw everything else up and and 1896 01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,200 Speaker 1: they actually did their job this time. Let's hope that 1897 01:46:05,280 --> 01:46:07,400 Speaker 1: the left doesn't swing it and uh, you know, the 1898 01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,240 Speaker 1: hurricanes moved to the left, and let's just hope that 1899 01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:11,760 Speaker 1: doesn't happen that way again in our government. Let's hope 1900 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:16,080 Speaker 1: for those people that I saw on TV over the weekend, 1901 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,439 Speaker 1: I will get to them. I have a lot to 1902 01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:20,559 Speaker 1: say to them. But it's not today. You know. Today 1903 01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:23,880 Speaker 1: is about let's rescue everyone that needs rescuing. Let's let's 1904 01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,920 Speaker 1: offer all the recovery that we can. Let's get people 1905 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,400 Speaker 1: settled into their new lives or temporary lives and then 1906 01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,240 Speaker 1: let's rebuild. But I do have things on my chest 1907 01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:36,480 Speaker 1: that will be coming out about how people have politicized 1908 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:42,000 Speaker 1: this tragedy is typical, you know, knee jerk, arrogant, hateful 1909 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,080 Speaker 1: selves come flying out of some. But to the credit 1910 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:48,519 Speaker 1: of many, it was not even close to the majority. 1911 01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:52,960 Speaker 1: Most people understood the magnitude and the needs should transcend 1912 01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 1: all of politics. Anyway, Thank you, God, bless you, Michael, 1913 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,680 Speaker 1: appreciate the call. All right, that's all the time we 1914 01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:03,720 Speaker 1: have for today, Hannity Tonight, TENNY Eastern Fox News.
