| This is the final screen of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going to medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop it, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| Mega Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| It's Wednesday, 9 July, Year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| The CEO of Twitter just resigned, Linda Yaccarino, who was hired to add some adult supervision on something that's totally out of control. | ||
| And sorry, lady, you were there. | ||
| It's on your watch. | ||
| You're making hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| You're getting billions of dollars of stock. | ||
| Sorry, lady. | ||
| That's coming a day late and a dollar short. | ||
| Not just that. | ||
| The stuff he said about President Trump, the Trump movement, this new third party, all this crazy stuff he's talking about. | ||
| He's a major defense contract contractor. | ||
| Any board of directors, and the board's liable. | ||
| The board members better start lying because you're going to get caught up in it too. | ||
| Any board of directors of any defense contractors, number one, would have put Elmo on leave, on administrative or psychiatric leave. | ||
| They would have demanded his security clearance been pulled. | ||
| They would have done a complete review. | ||
| Or your contracts are cut. | ||
| SpaceX, Starlink, all of it. | ||
| I'm not even going to talk about the economics. | ||
| I'll get to that days ahead. | ||
| The ripoff there. | ||
| Do you think of Northrop or Grumman or Martin Marietta or Lockheed or Tenantwin the Shipbuilders or anything, any of these public or private companies, if a CEO chairman acted like this, that they would allow that behavior to continue? | ||
| Are you nuts? | ||
| You're all liable. | ||
| This is the way the system works. | ||
| We're just going to use the system. | ||
| You're all liable. | ||
| If you can't keep Elmo in his playpen, right? | ||
| If you can't, you're responsible. | ||
| You have a fiduciary. | ||
| She understands that. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| The hell she's heading out of town. | ||
| She understands that. | ||
| Not controllable. | ||
| And you shouldn't have uncontrollable people as defense contractors. | ||
| We have the – Pozo, you got to hang on because we're going to get to this big story. | ||
| Papado saying, let's go live to the press conference at Kerrville, I think it was. | ||
| Okay, here's our morning update for July 8th. | ||
| Search efforts continue throughout Kerr County. | ||
| As of 8 a.m. this morning time, there are 95 deceased. | ||
| I'm going to kind of break down the numbers for you. | ||
| On adults, there's 59, unidentified 14. | ||
| Children, 36, unidentified, 13. | ||
| Camp Mystic currently still has missing five campers and one counselor. | ||
| Officials report there are 161 missing people in Kerk County area. | ||
| Community members are asked not to conduct debris management of their property until directed by law enforcement. | ||
| There is also a no-burn ban in Kerk County at this time until further notice. | ||
| Let me give you a visual. | ||
| I know probably all of y'all have been in our community capturing the aftermath of this disaster. | ||
| But with that said, also take note that Kirk County is 1,100 square miles of beautiful but complex hill country. | ||
| There are rural areas that may experience extended response times, areas where cell service is spotty, where the area is single lane bridges and low water crossings. | ||
| Sometimes evacuations is not the safest. | ||
| Sometimes it's better to shelter in place. | ||
| The hill country is not a one-size-fitall place. | ||
| First responders from emergency services throughout Kerr County promptly responded to the recent emergency as the situation unfolded. | ||
| As with other significant events that our emergencies, services encounter, this incident will be reviewed. | ||
| You have my word. | ||
| When or if necessary, if improvements need to be made, improvements will be made. | ||
| What I'd like to do right now is kind of give you a breakdown. | ||
| You know, I believe the latest report I had, we over have 2,100 people out here at some capacity on this incident. | ||
| As far as Kerr County Sheriff's Office, right now, what our office is currently doing, it's an all-hands-on-deck. | ||
| Everybody we got are out here, but also we have an additional 2,000 plus people helping us. | ||
| But as far as our patrol division, you know, right now they're involved in answering calls. | ||
| You have to remember we still got day-to-day calls we have to handle, but they're also involved in different kinds of rescue and recovery efforts. | ||
| My CID division, Criminal Investigation Division, is assisting with operations at the funeral home. | ||
| They're also assisting with the identification process. | ||
| My SOD division, Special Operations Division, is searching through heavy debris with heavy equipment. | ||
| They're distributing assets with the Texas Game Wardens. | ||
| They are also involved in recovery operations. | ||
| Also, they're working with U.S. special agents on all recovery processes and with the volunteer fire departments. | ||
| Our communications is overseeing the communication operation liaison with DPS also. | ||
| Our emergency management, Doug Thomas, is in the EOC center. | ||
| Also with my chief, they're both in the EOC Center. | ||
| At this time, I brought a couple of the guys. | ||
| I was going to let Captain Jason Waldrop say a few words. | ||
| Jason has been in the field, hands on deck, this whole time. | ||
| I hadn't been able to get out of here a lot. | ||
| There's a lot to manage here. | ||
| He's actually witnessed several things. | ||
| He's kind of going to give you a few ideas and updates on what's going on in the field, where he's been and what he's been seeing. | ||
| And then we'll turn it over to Sergeant Jack Land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Captain Jason Walden. | |
| So I just wanted to kind of give you all an update on some of the things that we as the sheriff department can do. | ||
| One particular thing that we have done in order to help assist in locating the missing is we have coordinated the team with a local construction company, the Texas Department of Public Safety, some fire departments from within Kerr County, | ||
| a fire department from Acuña, Mexico, and we are looking in Texas Department of Public Safety, some fire departments from within Kirk County, a fire department from Macuna, Mexico, and we are looking and searching the deeply impacted flood debris along the river, along the river. | ||
| So these areas are where a lot of this debris is bottlenecked. | ||
| So it's a lot of large trees, it's a lot of the vehicles, it's a lot of home structures have built up in these areas. | ||
| So we are using very heavy equipment, excavators, skid loaders, to remove this material and do a deep impact search where this is. | ||
| So what we ask is for those who are out there working, the local residents, the families of the missing, maybe even some of the search teams, if you see these very large excavators working, please avoid these areas. | ||
| We are trying to control these work sites. | ||
| We have spotters on the ground. | ||
| So as its material is being removed, we have spotters on the ground. | ||
| So as it's material is being removed, we are looking for anything of a sign of a person that may be within this material. | ||
| There are up and down the river where we can take apart these materials and hopefully locate some more of the missing. | ||
| So that's one main thing that we've been doing along the river to help this process. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| Morning. | ||
| Jonathan Lamb, the Kerrville Police Department. | ||
| We want to remind folks that if you've reported a loved one missing and they've returned home safely or been found safely, it's vitally important that you let us know that that person is no longer among the missing. | ||
| We need to keep an accurate count as accurate as possible. | ||
| So if you've reported somebody missing and they've been recovered safely, please let us know. | ||
| Go to the website kervillemissing.dps.texas.gov or call 830-258-1111. | ||
| And once again, kerville missing.dps.texas.gov, 830-258-1111. | ||
| We are actively looking, actively working to ensure that we have an accurate count so that we know who to look for. | ||
| And now I want to talk to the people here in this community inside the city limits of Kerrville, people in Kerr County, a few things. | ||
| We know that folks are beginning to clean up and we have large debris piles. | ||
| We ask them not to use heavy equipment to take down those debris piles until they've been checked by a search party because it's possible there are victims in that debris pile. | ||
| We don't want to disturb that. | ||
| Please give us a call, our non-emergency numbers at the police department and the sheriff's department, and let us know that you've got a debris pile that needs to be checked before you begin that level of cleanup. | ||
| Sheriff Letha mentioned the burn ban. | ||
| That's countywide. | ||
| We need people to respect that. | ||
| Do not burn during this time. | ||
| And we continue to ask people to steer clear of the area and let our first responders work. | ||
| Again, this operation is ongoing and continuous. | ||
| Our first responders are trying to get to places to do their jobs. | ||
| And people coming here from outside the community and people within the community who want to go sightsee and look at the river and see the flood damage, it's making our job very hard. | ||
| We ask folks to give us room to work. | ||
| I want to talk a little bit about the events that happened on the morning of July 4th, what the Kerrville Police Department and other first responders were doing in those early morning hours. | ||
| And I want to start outside of Kerrville, out in Hunt. | ||
| Now, for those of you who went out there yesterday with the governor, y'all know that Highway 39 crisscrosses the Guadalupe again and again and again. | ||
| And all of those low water crossings, when they flood, they create islands where you can't get in and you can't get out. | ||
| Trapping people in their homes, trapping people in vehicles. | ||
| And that's what happened on the morning of July 4th. | ||
| One of our patrol sergeants lives out there in Hunt, and he got up, he got ready to go to work, and he realized when he hit the intersection of FM 1340 and Highway 39 that he was trapped on an island. | ||
| That was Hunt, Texas. | ||
| And he saw people, dozens of people, trapped on roofs. | ||
| He saw people trapped in swift moving water. | ||
| He gave them encouragement over his public address system in his vehicle. | ||
| He told them to be strong, that he would get to them as quickly as he could, and to hang on. | ||
| And he knew he needed help. | ||
| He went to another detective, Kerrville Police Department detective who lives out there, and he woke him up. | ||
| And he said, it's bad. | ||
| I need you to get your gear on and come find me. | ||
| And then he went back out. | ||
| And for 13 hours, those two officers, along with some Hunt volunteer fire department Firefighters and an emergency room doctor provided care to that Hunt community. | ||
| When it was safe to do so, they waded into the water and they rescued people. | ||
| They got people down off the roofs. | ||
| They collected them there at the Hunt School. | ||
| There was a young boy with a pretty severe leg injury that was given first aid treatment throughout the day. | ||
| Other people came. | ||
| Many of them were injured. | ||
| They provided first aid. | ||
| They coordinated helicopter evacuations for the most critically injured, communicated the situation back to our emergency dispatch center, the Kerrville Police Department. | ||
| When the waters began to recede, they knew that vehicles would be making their way out there when it was safe to do so. | ||
| So they went back and forth clearing out debris to clear a path for those vehicles. | ||
| They saw helicopters flying back and forth, making recoveries upriver, evacuating those summer camps. | ||
| And they were by themselves on that island that was Hunt, Texas, doing what they do, serving, protecting, and helping until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when other emergency workers and high-profile vehicles were able to get out there. | ||
| And here in town, in the early morning hours are still dark, our officers realized that areas of town that traditionally don't flood were going to flood and that low-lying areas close to the river were in danger. | ||
| Our officers spent hours going back and forth. | ||
| In that first hour, they evacuated over 100 homes and evacuated and rescued over 200 people. | ||
| And to say that doesn't even come close to explaining the actions that took place. | ||
| Door to door, waking people up, convincing them that yes, the flood waters are coming and you need to leave now. | ||
| They rescued people out of vehicles. | ||
| They rescued people out of homes that were already flooding, pulling them out of windows. | ||
| They entered water. | ||
| There's a trailer park that flooded in minutes. | ||
| One officer was there by himself and he realized, I need help. | ||
| He sounded his siren driving up and down those streets that were beginning to flood, calling on his PA system for folks to wake up and evacuate. | ||
| And then two other officers joined him through first thigh deep, then waist deep, then chest deep water as they went from RVs and trailers and rescued people, carrying them to safety through the water. | ||
| Out on old FM 689, there were two people trapped in the water, clinging to a tree. | ||
| Two officers were there when the third one drove up, and one of them was wrapping a 100-foot flex-line garden hose around his waist to go into the water and rescue those people. | ||
| And those three officers went into the water, and one of them held that hose and acted as an anchor, while those other two made their way to those two victims, and they were able to evacuate them safely. | ||
| Folks, I don't know how many lives our KPD team saved in an hour in Kerrville, but I know that this tragedy, as horrific as it is, could have been so much worse. | ||
| And finally, I want to tell you about a member of our KPD team. | ||
| These guys have been working around the clock. | ||
| 4th of July traditionally is an all-hands-on-deck event for us because we hold an amazing concert on the river. | ||
| On July 4th, it was an all-hands-on-deck event for a very different reason. | ||
| But our officers have been working without time off, without any downtime, 16, 18, 20-hour shifts, without complaint. | ||
| Yesterday was the first day we were able to give a couple of them some downtime. | ||
| So we sent an officer home to rest. | ||
| But rather than taking a day off, a much well-deserved day off, he got up and he put on his gear and he volunteered to go out on foot with a ground search party. | ||
| And he spent his day up and down the Guadalupe River, going over, under, around trees, searching for victims to try and reunite the missing with their families. | ||
| I think that is Texans helping Texans in the greatest sense of the word. | ||
| That's what community is. | ||
| And that's what's important right now. | ||
| I want to continue to thank y'all for helping us spread the messages that need to be spread. | ||
| Before I open this up for a very few questions, just ask you to please, I'm sorry, just ask you to please say your name and who you're with before we do that. | ||
| Yes, we're right here. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| The mayor is supposed to speak now. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry. | ||
| Good morning, everyone. | ||
| As Jonathan Lamb has said, this is a story of tragedy, but it's also a story of heroes. | ||
| Governor Waldo, thank you for all you've done. | ||
| Every first responder, thank you for all you have done. | ||
| The recent numbers reported break my heart. | ||
| And they break the heart of everyone up here, everyone who's been working since July the 4th. | ||
| I want you to know, I think it's important for the public to know, I think it's important for the families to know. | ||
| In that emergency operations center, there's not little silos of departments and agencies. | ||
| They're working as one team with one goal, to find the missing and bring them home. | ||
| I'm grateful for every first responder, every helper in every field, those who are feeding the hungry, those who are providing shelter to people who have no home, those who are providing clothing who no longer have a wardrobe. | ||
| I'm also grateful for the generosity of the world. | ||
| Two companies that are hometown companies, companies that started in Kerrville, Texas, announced today and yesterday that they will be donating to the relief effort. | ||
| Everyone in Kerrville is proud of HEB and James Avery Artisan Jewelry. | ||
| Had a different name for so long, I'm sorry. | ||
| Those two companies started here. | ||
| Their heart is here. | ||
| We are committed to helping others. | ||
| After you all go home or go to the next story, we will still be here. | ||
| We live here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We live here. | |
| We've lost friends here. | ||
| If you feel able to donate to the Relief Fund, the best source we are recommending is the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. | ||
| That's the community found. | ||
| Their website is communityfoundation.net. | ||
| There's a link at the top of that page to help you donate. | ||
| Now listen, I'm married to a retired first grade teacher. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, they've looks like they've lost audio as soon as we get it back up. | |
| Do you feel the need to yell your question? | ||
| Going back to the conference. | ||
| I will feel the need to not answer you the question. | ||
| In first grade, they raised their hands. | ||
| That might be a good start. | ||
| Yesterday was a disaster, and I was embarrassed. | ||
| Our town was embarrassed. | ||
| Your viewers were embarrassed. | ||
| And I don't want that to happen again. | ||
| Now, I'm going to do something I've been told to do. | ||
| I'm going to turn it back to Jonathan Lamb to start the question and answer period. | ||
| However, please make my retired first-grade teacher wife proud. | ||
| And raise your hands. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, well, once again, just say your name, please, and who you're with. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, we get it. | |
| There we go. | ||
| Let's get another feedback. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Okay, we're going to try another feed. | ||
| There's real problems this morning with the feed on this. | ||
| What happened and what could have happened in that time? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| As I've said earlier, with every significant event, you know, we're going, with every emergency, you know what? | ||
| We're going to have to, there's going to be an after action. | ||
| Please, y'all, listen to those words. | ||
| After action, okay. | ||
| Those questions are going to be answered. | ||
| I believe those questions need to be answered to the family of the missed loved ones, to the public, you know, to the people that put me in this office. | ||
| And I want that answer, and we're going to get that answered. | ||
| And I know that's going to be asked over and over. | ||
| Please understand that. | ||
| You know, we don't have, we're not running, we're not going to hide from everything. | ||
| That's going to be checked into at a later time. | ||
| I wish I could tell you that time. | ||
| I don't know that time. | ||
| Let me share something with y'all. | ||
| One of the main things I've been doing is going and visiting the family. | ||
| We still have some of those missed loved ones here. | ||
| I go visit them twice a day. | ||
| You know, as a sheriff, you know what? | ||
| What I want is I want closure for those people. | ||
| And those are important questions. | ||
| We will answer those questions. | ||
| I wish y'all would bear with me in that. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Bear with me. | ||
| We'll get them. | ||
| I can't tell you in a week or two. | ||
| We're going to get them. | ||
| I'm not trying to deflect them. | ||
| My primary to me. | ||
| I asked you, I've been in this business 36 years. | ||
| I don't know if any of y'all, how many of y'all have given notifications, death notifications. | ||
| I've done them. | ||
| What is worse, a death notification or telling somebody I don't know where your loved one was? | ||
| That's my priority. | ||
| Okay, now please understand that. | ||
|

|
Sir, since you're up to the question. | |
| Sergeant Lamp. | ||
| Sergeant Lamp. | ||
| Tammy from the Hill Country Community Journal. | ||
| Yes, we talked a lot about the recovery effort, and it's amazing. | ||
| But I wonder what we can tell to displace families, where do they go, how do they get in touch with FEMA? | ||
| I think there's a lot of that, and we haven't had a chance to discuss it. | ||
| Right, so unfortunately, I don't have the FEMA number. | ||
| I know there is a FEMA hotline specifically for this, and I don't have it at my fingertips, and I apologize for that. | ||
| We are pushing out the recovery information through our social media post. | ||
| The First United Methodist Church, 321 Thompson Drive, is still the shelter operation for displaced persons through this disaster. | ||
| They are fully equipped and still accepting folks. | ||
| Sergeant Lamb, Sergeant, Sergeant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sergeant Lamb. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Lewis Anastor from the Kerr County League. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sergeant Lamb, yesterday the governor's office said there was 161 missing. | |
| Is that a Kerr County number or is that a roll-up number? | ||
| Where are we at with the number of missing? | ||
| It's my understanding that the number that the governor referred to was a Kerr County number. | ||
| And again, I have no reason to doubt that number, and it was compiled from the best available information. | ||
| But we are asking folks to make sure that the numbers that we have are accurate. | ||
| So if somebody has been reported missing and they have now been accounted for, please let us know that so we can revise those numbers and make sure that they continue to be accurate. | ||
| Ms. Madden. | ||

|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you, Moneybel with Tolamundo NBC. | ||
| Yesterday, Governor Adams said that two days prior to the disaster, he had provided resources and they were here on the ground. | ||
| I know this is a question for you or for the mayor, but he said you guys were prepared, that you had those essentials. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Did you guys have those resources? | ||
| Yeah, listen, I'm going to just say what has already been said at the appropriate time. | ||
| All of that is going to be reviewed and checked into. | ||
| I don't have the answer to that question right now. | ||
| I don't have that information. | ||
| And rather than speculate, it would be irresponsible for me to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Could you speak on that? | |
| Repeat the question, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yesterday, Governor Greg Adders said two days prior to the disaster, he had provided the town with more than enough resources to respond to the disaster. | |
| Were those resources here, local zones? | ||
| They didn't see any resources. | ||
| They didn't see anyone until hours after the disaster. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What resources did you guys have of why we send there any response? | |
| Okay. | ||
| I didn't see the governor's remarks. | ||
| I haven't seen the governor's remarks. | ||
| Last night we had a city council meeting, and I was required to be there. | ||
| And so I can't. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I don't know what resources TDIM had in place at that time. | ||
| I know when I arrived at the Emergency Operations Center on the morning of July 4th, there were TDIM personnel there. | ||
| But what assets they were able to use that morning, I'm sorry, I do not know. | ||
| Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor. | ||
| Listen, people are yelling, and I didn't really watch all the... | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| You're in Kerr Belt and we're going to do it my way. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| Morgan Chesky, please. | ||
| Mr. Mayor, records show that the concept of flood warnings have been discussed at least two dozen times by the county. | ||
| What's the biggest reason that these systems have not gone into place at this point? | ||
| You know, Morgan, you and I grew up here. | ||
| And I wasn't in office during those discussions. | ||
| And frankly, I'm more focused on the future than the past, as you know. | ||
| What I can say is the governor, the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the Texas House have all provided us support. | ||
| And they have all said this is a priority for the upcoming special legislative session. | ||
| as mayor of curva as someone who grew up here i am grateful for their support and i look forward to what they proposed during the special session my last question will be Shimo Programme is for CNN. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Lieutenant Governor said that on July 3rd that the county judges and city mayors were invited on a daily call Thursday to discuss weather forecasts. | |
| Were you on that call? | ||
| Were you invited to that call? | ||
| And do you know if the county judge was also on that? | ||
| I can't speak for the county judge. | ||
| That would be hearsay. | ||
| And I'm not going to contradict the information you have, but I will tell you, personally, I did not receive a telephone call. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You weren't invited to the call. | |
| I did not receive a telephone call. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you were never given any information about what assets were brought into the area in this event. | |
| So I wasn't invited to the call. | ||
| I'm not trying to deflect, but I don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you know any idea how that would happen? | |
| Maybe I'm not a local mayor. | ||
| I can't tell. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank you, guys. | ||
| Let me have a chair. | ||
| And I appreciate the discussion. | ||
| They're only taking a few questions. | ||
| I don't get that. | ||
| Jack Bisobic, because you kind of, I think, broke it, made this prominent on at least a U.S. basis, probably a global basis. | ||
| Talk to us about what's happening with People Prepared, what happened in Austin, and your observations about, I think, another great press briefing. | ||
| Yeah, Steve, I mean, this mayor, I'm watching that. | ||
| I'm flabbergasted. | ||
| I mean, all of these children who died on his watch, and he's up there complaining about the media. | ||
| He's complaining about having to answer questions. | ||
| Sir, you're the mayor of this town. | ||
| Okay, you're the mayor of the town. | ||
| So you've got to find out what happened, and you need to provide answers, not just to the community, but to the parents, to everybody about what went on here, what broke down. | ||
| And he's saying he doesn't hear that he didn't know about the conference, that the governor was just there yesterday. | ||
| What do you mean he didn't know about the conference? | ||
| The governor was just there. | ||
| And the government talked about having resources on July 2nd. | ||
| So this is what we're all talking about, Steve. | ||
| And this is what I've been talking about online. | ||
| What resources were available on July 2nd? | ||
| And what was the order that went down on July 2nd, which was two days prior to the flood? | ||
| So regardless of what acronyms or whatever jargon they want to use, people use jargon to intimidate. | ||
| They said there was an order that went down on July 2nd, and Austin denied it. | ||
| I'm going to play the clip. | ||
| I'm going to play the clip and have you come in. | ||
| This is the Fire Association. | ||
| I just don't even have words. | ||
| Our firefighters are trained for that area. | ||
| Our firefighters have the equipment. | ||
| They have the desire. | ||
| They have the will. | ||
| They have the power to go up and actually, I know some of those girls could have been survived if we had had the best boat crew the day before on scene. | ||
| I know it. | ||
| I know it in my heart. | ||
| I know it as a Battalion Chief. | ||
| I know it as a former Swiftwater tech myself. | ||
| And the fact that we didn't do it and we let them down is just unconscionable. | ||
| Jack, how did he know on the second to do this? | ||
| He's basically implying the forecasts were good enough. | ||
| He knew something big was coming, sir? | ||
| He's saying that on the second, and again, I'm going off of, and this is the Austin Fire Association president off of their press release yesterday, and then, of course, the statement that we just played. | ||
| And I watched the whole thing. | ||
| It was 30 minutes long. | ||
| And he talked about, went through chapter and verse about how there was a deployment order, a pre-deployment order that came down on the second. | ||
| Of course, this is based on forecast and based on everything they were looking at in the area. | ||
| They said, hey, it looks like something might be brewing down in Kerrville. | ||
| Let's pre-position some boats. | ||
| Let's pre-position some of these rescue swimmers, the Swiftwater swimmers, Swiftwater Techs, that train specifically for the Hill Country. | ||
| These are world-class swimmers out of Austin. | ||
| And the Austin Fire Department chief, this guy sitting up there denied it. | ||
| And supposedly he said that he was worried about the reimbursements from the state. | ||
| And he said, oh, we're worried about the money. | ||
| And he said, wait, it's all going to be reimbursed. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| But the Austin fire chief denied the pre-deployment. | ||
| Then on the third, when it was getting worse, they went back again and said, can we pre-deploy at least now? | ||
| We can see that things are getting worse. | ||
| He denied it a second time. | ||
| And then finally, only after the flood struck, did they deploy? | ||
| And they didn't deploy the two boats. | ||
| They only deployed one. | ||
| They didn't deploy six swimmers. | ||
| They only deployed three. | ||
| So you could have had two boats and three swimmers. | ||
| And who knows? | ||
| Who knows what could have been done if those swimmers, and I understand, and by the way, nothing against the valor of the police officers and the folks who were there. | ||
| But don't sit there and tell me that you didn't know something was going on when this order came down on July 2nd and you denied it, sir. | ||
| So this fire chief up in Austin denied this pre-deployment. | ||
| So something was going down. | ||
| Somebody knew something was happening on July 2nd. | ||
| And they're all sitting there saying, oh, we didn't know. | ||
| I wasn't on the call and I didn't hear the briefing. | ||
| No, stop passing the buck. | ||
| This guy should resign. | ||
| As someone who served in the military, Steve, this is a complete abrogation of responsibility. | ||
| And it's disgusting when you have this many dead kids on your hands. | ||
| The other thing to note is that you've got to bifurcate this, what happened and the chain of responsibility, like starting now from the recovery operation. | ||
| The buried lead in this thing for the last couple of days, the guy said yesterday, there has not been a live rescue, I think, since Friday. | ||
| I thought he said Friday morning, but definitely Friday. | ||
| The rest of it has been recovery. | ||
| And recovery is horrible. | ||
| You got to do it thoroughly and as quickly as possible for the families. | ||
| But you can bifurcate what's happening here, and you can bifurcate the press conference. | ||
| One part of the press conference should be for the update on the recoveries and where you stand and all the problems in the county and down on the river. | ||
| The other ought to be taking questions that the media has and people have responsibility to ask, like, what happened here? | ||
| It's current now. | ||
| It's in the moment. | ||
| It's something that be answered, not to wait to some commission in three years from now and hide behind it. | ||
| Poso, I got to bounce because we're so jammed. | ||
| Geneva, we're going to do Geneva tonight. | ||
| I had people, we had Joe Allen and Nora, but because of the press conference and others. | ||
| But Jack, give me two minutes on your solution because you know the deep state as well as anybody. | ||
| Your solution on the Epstein situation. | ||
| Now, since you went in for the first, what do you call it, the bologna file or the baloney binder they gave you over at the way? | ||
| The bologna binder. | ||
| It was a bologna. | ||
| What is your recommendation today? | ||
| Very, very fine binder for you. | ||
| You and DC Drain are up in the middle of this thing. | ||
| What's your guys' recommendation? | ||
| What has to happen today, sir? | ||
| Look, here's the issue, all right? | ||
| And I'll be fair. | ||
| I'll be fair, but I'm going to be blunt. | ||
| The idea that we've got access or that the DOJ has access to everything and is, you know, that there's just some list sitting around. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I get that it's not really this fine list and here you go. | ||
| You can have it. | ||
| I get how that works. | ||
| I've been in the system. | ||
| I've been on the other side of that table. | ||
| But don't sit there and tell me there's nothing when you told me there was something. | ||
| That's the issue for the AG is you told the entire world there was something. | ||
| You told us there were files. | ||
| You told us there were lists. | ||
| I'm not talking about the kiddie porn. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| We don't want that release. | ||
| We want to protect those victims. | ||
| But what we need to do is figure out the investigation. | ||
| And by the way, when it comes to those victims, were they interviewed? | ||
| Were the victims interviewed? | ||
| And did people go through? | ||
| And I understand it's a process, but that's how this works, right? | ||
| That's how you investigate these types of operations and these types of crimes is that you do, unfortunately, have to, and you do it in a careful way, and you have specifically trained people who can do this. | ||
| You bring in the therapists, et cetera, but you need to get the names. | ||
| And for all of these hundreds of victims, where's the interviews? | ||
| Then you generate leads. | ||
| Then you figure out what happened. | ||
| So don't tell me there's nothing. | ||
| Don't sit there for, and I will tell it like I'm like I'm a joke. | ||
| Like it's a joke that there's nothing. | ||
| No, it's absolutely not. | ||
| Put out everything you have. | ||
| Start going to the SDNY right now and start declassifying and unsealing everything that you told us existed and we know exists. | ||
| You have to file charges today on the prosecutors that went after a man and also the judge got to be impeached immediately. | ||
| Appellate court says no evidence, lack of evidence. | ||
| Jack, real quickly, 60 seconds. | ||
| We're in the danger zone on what has happened in the Ukraine. | ||
| They're coming after Bridge Colby because Bridge Colby was the pivot to Asia guy. | ||
| The Israeli first guys are coming after him and now the cheerleaders of the Ukraine war because trying to protect America, he said, hey, I think we were running down on Patriot missiles and TADS. | ||
| Give me 60 seconds on the danger of the Ukraine war and us getting sucked in because they're going for Odessa, brother. | ||
| You know this. | ||
| You went down there two years ago and warned the world that this is where it's going to be. | ||
| And I'm telling you, they want to suck the United States in to a defense of Odessa, sir. | ||
| Look, Stephen, I've still got the sand on my desk from Odessa that I collected from the beach there. | ||
| And look, when it comes down to it, you know, we live in a real world. | ||
| We're conservative. | ||
| So we understand that we live in a world of resource constraints. | ||
| And you talk to the neocons and they say, oh, we could fight a war here. | ||
| We could fight a war against China. | ||
| We could fight a war against Iran. | ||
| We could fight a war against Russia. | ||
| We can do everything with Dolph. | ||
| But No, we live in a real world, and you are the ones, the same people, by the way, the Wall Streeters and the GDP firsters, they are the ones who completely sold our manufacturing base out to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And then they turn around and say, wait, where all the Patriot missile production went? | ||
| Why are we down to 25% Patriot missiles, 25% of the air interceptors, the air defense, the VAD missiles? | ||
| Because they don't exist. | ||
| Because those networks don't exist anymore. | ||
| Because you need the entire infrastructure to be able to run a massive global empire army as imperial military that you want wrapping the entire world around. | ||
| And we just don't have it anymore. | ||
| We don't have it because you gave away our manufacturing base to the Chinese. | ||
| So now when it comes around, and it's Bridge Colby saying he's the only one who's just telling the truth. | ||
| He's the only one telling the truth. | ||
| So we don't have these interceptors. | ||
| And if we do give them there, then what are we going to use to protect our bases around the world? | ||
| And by the way, the homeland, because I think we ought to care about that for a little bit too. | ||
| Sorry, this is the real world. | ||
| And this is the situation we're now in. | ||
| McConnell's team and factories, you need workers, you need money, you need all of that. | ||
| We're here to defend him. | ||
| Jack, expertise. | ||
| The Stingers, we don't even make Stingers anymore. | ||
| They got to bring the guys out of retirement. | ||
| Nobody knows how to make them. | ||
| Where do you go? | ||
| I'm fed up today, Steve. | ||
| I'm fed up today. | ||
| What can I say? | ||
| You're fired. | ||
| I'm looking at this mayor. | ||
| He's got me hot. | ||
| No, no. | ||

| No, Hobbits are good. | ||

| I thought this was Texas, by the way. | ||
| What happened to Texas? | ||
| Where's tough, tough Texas, man? | ||
| Don't mess with Texas. | ||
| Try that in Texas. | ||
| And like, I'm a Yankee. | ||
| I thought you guys were supposed to be tough as bootleather ones. | ||
| Sorry, Texas. | ||
| If this is the guy who's representing you, you're not being well represented on the national stage right now. | ||
| Sorry to be blunt, but this is the war room, and that's the truth. | ||
| I'm up at Jack Pesobic. | ||
| I'll be there at 2 o'clock. | ||
| And then Charlie and I have got the Thought Crime Show. | ||
| We're taping it later tonight, and that'll go up either today or tomorrow. | ||
| And we'll see you up at the Student Action Summit. | ||
| And this weekend. | ||
| This weekend we'll be in Tampa together. | ||
| The weekend's very historic. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| George Papadopoulos, thank you for sticking around. | ||
| You put up a kind of a cryptic tweet yesterday then. | ||
| Brennan and Comey now are under criminal investigation. | ||
| Walk us through what you were talking about. | ||
| Explain to the audience what you mean, sir. | ||
| Yes, Steve, it's great to be with you. | ||
| Look, I mean, what a historic moment. | ||
| You have the FBI, former FBI director and the former director of the CIA simultaneously under criminal investigation for what looks to be a criminal conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, let alone the illegal and the illicit surveillance activities and the interference in the 2016 election and the attempt to basically initiate a coup against a sitting president. | ||
| So what that ex-post that I posted about was when I testified. | ||
| I testified actually under oath to then Congressman John Ratcliffe. | ||
| Now, of course, he's the director of the CIA at a time when I was one of five witnesses that was invited to the House Oversight Committee to give testimony under oath about what happened involving crossfire hurricane, the various targeting of members of the Trump campaign, the Trump administration, President Trump himself. | ||
| And then, of course, you had the Durham investigation, which basically evolved from that testimony and other testimonies. | ||
| Now, Durham, as you will, as you basically pointed out, was a cover-up job. | ||
| If it wasn't for people like Congressman Matt Gates that basically hammered away at Durham's testimony, asking him pointed questions about why he didn't dig deep into basically the origins of the scandal, besides saying that it didn't start the way that Mueller did, I don't think we would have had much to go on. | ||
| But fortunately now, you have people like Cash Fatello at the FBI. | ||
| You have Ratcliffe, who's at the CIA, and they're once again digging into this stuff, Steve, because when they weren't punished for doing it in 2016, what happened in 2020? | ||
| The CIA willfully interfered in the 2020 election, and they stole it. | ||
| We can't let them get away with it. | ||
| And that's why this is so important and why I think this is going to be history making. | ||
| And it's really going to usher in tremendous momentum for MAGA going into the midterms. | ||
| Let me give me that again. | ||
| Why do you think this is going to be history making? | ||
| Are you saying going after the perjury charge on Brennan and what they're doing on Comey, that investigation that we now know that the Justice Department and FBI are doing, sir? | ||
| No, I don't think actually they're looking at any perjury stuff. | ||
| I think what they're looking at is a criminal conspiracy. | ||
| I think the statute of limitations on anything perjury related, especially related to Congress, congressional testimony, that's all evaporated. | ||
| So I think what they're looking at is a conspiracy. | ||
| And, you know, one thing I'll say, Steve, because, you know, the theme of the week has really been foreign intelligence entanglements with the CIA, with domestic U.S. intelligence, and how they basically coordinate to target individuals or groups for extermination. | ||
| And I would say that every four years, the most highly anticipated event around the world, it's not the World Cup, it's not the Olympics, it's not the World Series, it's a U.S. presidential campaign season, who what man or woman ascends to the Oval Office has tremendous ramifications for numerous countries all around the world, not just within the United States. | ||
| And I think that is what is at the actual core of what this scandal was, Steve. | ||
| It was a CIA-led operation that involved foreign intelligence, primarily Western intelligence, that then offset, I should say buckpassed this investigation to the FBI. | ||
| And that's why they're looking at both Brennan and Comey simultaneously. | ||
| It's not simply Comey, and it's not about Brennan. | ||
| They're looking at them as part of a conspiracy. | ||
| They're not looking at perjury. | ||
| They're not looking at lying under oath stuff. | ||
| We're far too detached from going after low-level charges like that, especially after the unfortunate fallout from Epstein. | ||
| Either Bondi, Patel, and Ratcliffe, and the DOJ goes after the massive charges and the big fish, or I think this is going to be a major impediment going into the midterms. | ||
| If they go after them the way that I do think they will, this is going to be tremendous momentum behind us going into the midterms. | ||
| And I'm just going to land on this, Steve. | ||
| We can't forget that it was Mueller's investigation during Trump's first administration that arguably cost us the midterms. | ||
| With this new investigation, I think it's going to help us win it. | ||
| George, social media, where do people go? | ||
| You can find me on Acts at GeorgePoppin19. | ||
| And dude, what you have been through, probably in the top five of the worst of what they've dragged you through. | ||
| So you're a warrior. | ||
| Thank you, brother, for coming on here. | ||
| Thank you for being in the fight. | ||
| Appreciate it, brother. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'd like the guys on our side of the football, the men and women. | ||
| This is all in our hands. | ||
| We will be victorious if we don't quit. | ||
| Isn't that the lesson that MAG has learned? | ||
| If we refuse to stop, we'll eventually win. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| Natalie Dominguez, the $1 million triple lock protection. | ||
| I can tell you the Warwick Posse digs. | ||
| What do you got for us, ma'am? | ||
| All right. | ||
| So I thought that today was actually going to be an update from a prior story that we'd covered. | ||
| However, this is the second time, at least being covered by mainstream media, that now we've seen someone's house bulldozed due to deed fraud. | ||
| So the Kelly family in Houston are demanding criminal charges be brought against a man named Jerry Gurley and the notary who'd been accused of forging all six of these sibling signatures, stealing their family home, and leaving their lives in ruin. | ||
| So back in 2017, six grandchildren inherited their late father and late grandfather's home that had been in the family since the 60s. | ||
| Two years later, this guy Gurley had actually approached them to buy the home and they had rejected it. | ||
| He then proceeded to forge their signatures, all six of them, file it with the county, and then went on to sell the home to a third party with the help of a fishy title company. | ||
| The third party ended up bulldozing the home, destroying decades of family photos, home videos, irreplaceable heirlooms, and the family was just destroyed. | ||
| So flash forward now, another four years into 2023, the aftermath of that investigation prompted Harris County Attorney's Office to open an additional investigation into the title company that sold to the third party because they had allegedly, we have to always say allegedly, repeatedly defrauded community members in the Houston area. | ||
| And then earlier this year, the Kelly family was able to reach a civil settlement with Gurley, excuse me, in which he was ordered to pay them $200,000. | ||
| But as of last week when this report came in, nothing has been paid. | ||
| And with all this interest and fees, it's now up to almost $300,000. | ||
| So the family gets their home bulldozed and then now can't get a single cent back from this guy within the last, what, six months to almost a year. | ||
| And the crazy part is this guy allegedly has several other judgments against him in other similar cases. | ||
| And the family is just stuck there wondering, why isn't he being held criminally accountable? | ||
| And I think the attorney, their attorney said it best, this guy should be in jail. | ||
| We brought up a term you need to define. | ||
| Give me 60 seconds on shady title company because they're part of the problems too, ma'am, right? | ||
| No, absolutely. | ||
| We're seeing this more and more. | ||
| All these criminals, they're all these back-end syndicates of people with knowledge of the process, and then they're getting away with it for years. | ||
| A lawyer recently in New York had been doing this for 10 years, 11 properties. | ||
| Matt Cox, who you guys have had on, former criminal, works with us, public advocate. | ||
| He started out as a mortgage broker. | ||
| It's all these people with knowledge of this crime that are leveraging these homeowners. | ||
| It's very, very sad. | ||
| So we just say monitor your property. | ||
| Your information's out there. | ||
| Make sure you have a team of experts on your side to get through everything before you get to this point, right? | ||
| Before your house ends up bulldozed because it's been sold to another company and then you can't get your money back and can't get your house back. | ||
