Bannon's War Room - Episode 4619： Passing Of Responsibility In Texas; FBI Launches Criminal Investigations Of Bennan And Comey

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,

00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:27.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:32.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:36.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:49.000 It's Wednesday, 9 July, Year of the Lord 2025.

00:00:52.000 The CEO of Twitter just resigned, Linda Yaccarino,

00:00:56.000 who was hired to add some adult supervision on something that's totally out of control.

00:01:02.000 And sorry, lady, you were there. It's on your watch. 1.00

00:01:05.000 You're making you're making hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:01:07.000 You're getting billions of dollars of stock.

00:01:10.000 Sorry, lady, that that's coming a day late and a dollar short.

00:01:15.000 Not just that, the stuff he said about President Trump,

00:01:19.000 the Trump movement, this new third party, all this crazy stuff he's talking about.

00:01:24.000 He's a major defense contractor.

00:01:26.000 Any board of directors and the board is liable.

00:01:30.000 The board members better start line because you're going to get caught up in it, too.

00:01:34.000 Any board of directors of any defense contractors.

00:01:37.000 Number one would have put Elmo on on leave, on administrative or psychiatric leave.

00:01:45.000 They would have demanded his security clearance been pulled.

00:01:47.000 They would have done a complete review or your contracts are cut.

00:01:51.000 SpaceX, Starlink, all of it.

00:01:53.000 I'm never going to talk about the economics.

00:01:55.000 I'll get to that days ahead, the rip off there.

00:01:59.000 Do you think of Northrop or Grumman or Martin Marietta or Lockheed or one of the shipbuilders or anything,

00:02:06.000 any of these publicly traded or private companies, if a CEO chairman acted like this,

00:02:11.000 that they would allow that behavior to continue?

00:02:15.000 Are you nuts?

00:02:17.000 You're all liable.

00:02:18.000 This is the way the system works.

00:02:19.000 We're just going to use the system.

00:02:20.000 You're all liable.

00:02:21.000 If you can't keep Elmo in his playpen.

00:02:25.000 Right.

00:02:26.000 If you can't, you're responsible.

00:02:28.000 You have a fiduciary.

00:02:29.000 She understands that.

00:02:30.000 What do you think the hell she's heading out of town? 1.00

00:02:33.000 She understands that.

00:02:35.000 Not controllable.

00:02:37.000 And you shouldn't have uncontrollable people as defense contractors.

00:02:40.000 We have the.

00:02:41.000 OK, the press is about to start.

00:02:42.000 Poso, you got to hang on because we get to this big story.

00:02:44.000 Papadoff saying let's go live to the press conference.

00:02:47.000 Kerrville, I think it is.

00:02:48.000 Okay, here's our morning update for July 8th.

00:02:55.000 Search efforts continue throughout Kerr County.

00:02:58.000 As of 8 a.m. this morning, several times, there are 95 deceased.

00:03:03.000 I'm going to kind of break down the numbers for you.

00:03:05.000 On adults, there's 59, unidentified 14.

00:03:08.000 Children, 36, unidentified 13.

00:03:13.000 Camp Mystic currently still has missing five campers and one counselor.

00:03:18.000 Officials report there are 161 missing people in Kerr County area.

00:03:25.000 Community members are asked not to conduct debris management of their property until directed by law enforcement.

00:03:33.000 There is also a no burn ban in Kerr County at this time until further notice.

00:03:37.000 Let me give you a visual.

00:03:40.000 I know probably probably all of y'all have been in our community capturing the aftermath of this disaster.

00:03:46.000 But with that said, also take note that Kerr County is 1100 square miles of beautiful but complex hill country.

00:03:56.000 There are rural areas that may experience extended response times.

00:04:01.000 Areas where cell service is spotty.

00:04:03.000 Where the area is single lane bridges and low water crossings.

00:04:07.000 Sometimes evacuations is not the safest.

00:04:10.000 Sometimes it's better to shelter in place.

00:04:12.000 The hill country is not a one size fit all place.

00:04:16.000 First responders from emergency services throughout Kerr County promptly responded to the recent emergency as the situation unfolded.

00:04:27.000 As with other significant events that our emergencies services encounter, this incident will be reviewed.

00:04:34.000 You have my word.

00:04:35.000 When or if necessary, if improvements need to be made, improvements will be made.

00:04:41.000 What I'd like to do right now is kind of give you a breakdown.

00:04:43.000 You know, I believe the latest latest report I had, we over have 2100 people out here at some capacity on this incident.

00:04:51.000 As far as Kerr County Sheriff's Office right now, what our office is currently doing, it's kind of a it's all hands on deck.

00:04:57.000 Everybody we got are out here, but also we have additional 2000 plus people helping us.

00:05:02.000 But as far as our patrol division, you know, they're right now they're involved in answering calls.

00:05:07.000 You have to remember, we still got day to day calls we have to handle.

00:05:10.000 But they're also involved in different kinds of rescue and recovery efforts.

00:05:16.000 My CID division, criminal investigation division, is assisting with operations at the funeral home.

00:05:22.000 They're also assisting with the identification process.

00:05:25.000 My SOD division, special operations division, is in searching through heavy debris with heavy equipment.

00:05:32.000 They're distributing assets with the Texas game wardens.

00:05:36.000 They're also involved in recovery operations.

00:05:39.000 Also, they're working with DPS special agents on all recovery processes.

00:05:47.000 And with the volunteer fire departments.

00:05:50.000 Our communications is overseeing the communication operation liaison with DPS also.

00:05:55.000 Our emergency management, Thomas, is in the EOC center.

00:05:59.000 Also with my chief, they're both in the EOC center.

00:06:01.000 At this time, I brought a couple of the guys.

00:06:03.000 I was going to let Captain Jason Waldrop say a few words.

00:06:06.000 Jason has been in the field, hands on deck this whole time.

00:06:09.000 I hadn't been able to get out of here a lot.

00:06:11.000 There's a lot to manage here.

00:06:12.000 He's actually witnessed several things.

00:06:14.000 He's kind of going to give you a few ideas and updates on what's going on in the field,

00:06:18.000 where he's been and what he's been seeing.

00:06:21.000 And then we'll turn it over to Sergeant Jack Lamb.

00:06:23.000 Captain Jason Waldrop.

00:06:33.000 So let me kind of give you all an update on some of the things that we as the Share Apartments do.

00:06:38.000 One particular thing that we have done in order to help assist in locating the missing

00:06:44.000 is we have coordinated a team with a local construction company,

00:06:49.000 the Texas Department of Public Safety,

00:06:51.000 some fire departments from within Kerr County,

00:06:54.000 a fire department from Acuna, Mexico.

00:06:57.000 And we are looking in Texas Department of Public Safety,

00:07:01.000 some fire departments from within Kerr County,

00:07:04.000 a fire department from Acuna, Mexico.

00:07:06.000 And we are looking and searching the deeply impacted flood debris along the river, along the river.

00:07:13.000 So these areas are where a lot of this debris is bottlenecked.

00:07:17.000 So it's a lot of large trees.

00:07:18.000 It's a lot of the vehicles.

00:07:20.000 It's a lot of home structures have built up in these areas.

00:07:23.000 So we are using very heavy equipment, excavators, skid loaders,

00:07:27.000 to remove this mineral and do a deep impact search of where this is.

00:07:32.000 So what we ask is for those who are out there working, the local residents, the families of the missing,

00:07:40.000 even some of the search teams.

00:07:42.000 If you see these very large excavators working, please avoid these areas.

00:07:46.000 We are trying to control these work sites.

00:07:48.000 We have spotters on the ground.

00:07:50.000 So as if material is being removed, we have spotters on the ground.

00:07:57.000 So as if material is being removed, we are looking for anything of a sign of a person that may be within this material.

00:08:06.000 There is up and down the river where we can take apart these materials and hopefully locate some more of the missing.

00:08:12.000 So that's one main thing that we've been doing along the river to help this process.

00:08:21.000 Morning.

00:08:22.000 Jonathan Lamb, Kerrville Police Department.

00:08:27.000 We want to remind folks that if you've reported a loved one missing and they've returned home safely or been found safely,

00:08:40.000 it's vitally important that you let us know that that person is no longer among the missing.

00:08:48.000 We need to keep an accurate count as accurate as possible.

00:08:52.000 So if you've reported somebody missing and they've been recovered safely, please let us know.

00:08:59.000 Go to the website kerrvillemissing.dps.texas.gov or call 830-258-1111.

00:09:12.000 We are actively looking, actively working to ensure that we have an accurate count so that we know who to look for.

00:09:33.000 And now I want to talk to the people here in this community inside the city limits of Kerrville, people in Kerr County.

00:09:43.000 A few things.

00:09:44.000 We know that folks are beginning to clean up and we have large debris piles.

00:09:50.000 We ask them not to use heavy equipment to take down those debris piles until they've been checked by a search party.

00:10:01.000 Because it's possible there are victims in that debris pile.

00:10:06.000 We don't want to disturb that.

00:10:08.000 Please give us a call.

00:10:10.000 Our non-emergency numbers at the police department and the sheriff's department.

00:10:14.000 And let us know that you've got a debris pile that needs to be checked before you begin that level of cleanup.

00:10:21.000 Sheriff Letha mentioned the burn ban.

00:10:25.000 That's countywide.

00:10:27.000 We need people to respect that.

00:10:29.000 Do not burn during this time.

00:10:32.000 And we continue to ask people to steer clear of the area and let our first responders work.

00:10:38.000 Again, this operation is ongoing and continuous.

00:10:42.000 Our first responders are trying to get to places to do their jobs.

00:10:47.000 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.

00:10:55.000 It's making our job very hard.

00:10:57.000 We ask folks to give us room to work.

00:11:04.000 I want to talk a little bit about the events that happened on the morning of July 4th.

00:11:10.000 What the Kerrville Police Department and other first responders were doing in those early morning hours.

00:11:16.000 I don't want to start outside of Kerrville out in hunt.

00:11:22.000 For those of you who went out there yesterday with the governor, you all know that Highway 39 crisscrosses the Guadalupe again and again and again.

00:11:33.000 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.

00:11:42.000 Trapping people in their homes, trapping people in vehicles.

00:11:45.000 And that's what happened on the morning of July 4th.

00:11:48.000 One of our patrol sergeants lives out there in Hunt.

00:11:52.000 And he got up and got ready to go to work.

00:11:54.000 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.

00:12:06.000 And he saw people, dozens of people, trapped on roofs.

00:12:10.000 He saw people trapped in swift moving water.

00:12:17.000 He gave them encouragement over his public address system in his vehicle.

00:12:22.000 He told them to be strong, that he would get to them as quickly as he could, and to hang on.

00:12:31.000 And he knew he needed help.

00:12:35.000 He went to another detective, Kerrville Police Department detective who lives out there, and he woke him up and he said, it's bad.

00:12:44.000 I need you to get your gear on and come find me.

00:12:47.000 And then he went back out.

00:12:50.000 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.

00:13:10.000 When it was safe to do so, they waded into the water and they rescued people.

00:13:15.000 They brought people down off of roofs.

00:13:17.000 They collected them there at the Hunt School.

00:13:21.000 There was a young boy with a pretty severe leg injury that was given first aid treatment throughout the day.

00:13:29.000 Other people came.

00:13:32.000 Many of them were injured.

00:13:34.000 They provided first aid.

00:13:36.000 They coordinated helicopter evacuations for the most critically injured, communicated the situation back to our emergency dispatch center, Kerrville Police Department.

00:13:48.000 When the waters began to recede, they knew that vehicles would be making their way out there when it was safe to do so.

00:13:54.000 So they went back and forth, clearing out debris to clear a path for those vehicles.

00:14:01.000 They saw helicopters flying back and forth, making recoveries up river, evacuating those summer camps.

00:14:10.000 And they were by themselves on that island that was Hunt, Texas, doing what they do, serving, protecting and helping until about five o'clock in the afternoon.

00:14:25.000 When other emergency workers and high profile vehicles were able to get out there.

00:14:29.000 And here in town.

00:14:32.000 The early morning hours are still dark.

00:14:37.000 Our officers realized.

00:14:39.000 That areas of town that traditionally don't flood.

00:14:43.000 We're going to flood.

00:14:45.000 And that low lying areas close to the river were in danger.

00:14:50.000 Our officers spent hours going back and forth.

00:14:57.000 In that first hour.

00:15:02.000 They evacuated over 100 homes.

00:15:05.000 And evacuated and rescued over 200 people.

00:15:09.000 And to say that doesn't even come close to explaining the actions that took place.

00:15:15.000 Door to door.

00:15:20.000 Door to door.

00:15:21.000 Waking people up.

00:15:22.000 Convincing them that yes.

00:15:26.000 The flood waters are coming and you need to leave now.

00:15:29.000 They rescued people out of vehicles.

00:15:31.000 They rescued people out of homes that were already flooding.

00:15:34.000 Pulling them out of windows.

00:15:38.000 They entered water.

00:15:41.000 There's a trailer park.

00:15:42.000 That flooded in minutes.

00:15:46.000 One officer was there by himself.

00:15:48.000 And he realized.

00:15:49.000 I need help.

00:15:50.000 He sounded a siren.

00:15:52.000 Driving up and down those streets that were beginning to flood.

00:15:55.000 Calling on his PA system.

00:15:57.000 For folks to wake up and evacuate.

00:16:00.000 And then.

00:16:01.000 Two other officers joined him.

00:16:04.000 Through.

00:16:05.000 First thigh deep.

00:16:06.000 Then waist deep.

00:16:07.000 Then chest deep water.

00:16:08.000 As they went from RVs and trailers.

00:16:09.000 And rescued people.

00:16:10.000 Carrying them.

00:16:11.000 Safety.

00:16:12.000 Through the water.

00:16:13.000 Out on old FM 689.

00:16:14.000 There were two people.

00:16:15.000 Trapped.

00:16:16.000 In the water.

00:16:17.000 Clinging to a tree.

00:16:18.000 Two officers were there.

00:16:19.000 When the third one drove up.

00:16:21.000 And one of them was wrapping.

00:16:23.000 hundred foot.

00:16:24.000 Flex line yard hose.

00:16:25.000 Around his waist.

00:16:26.000 To go into the water.

00:16:27.000 And rescue those people.

00:16:29.000 And those three officers went into the water.

00:16:42.000 And one of them held that hose. 0.78

00:16:44.000 And acted as an anchor.

00:16:47.000 And the car hid the load.

00:16:49.000 and one of them held that hose and acted as an anchor 0.99

00:16:52.260 while those other two made their way to those two victims

00:16:56.700 and they were able to evacuate them safely.

00:17:01.440 Folks, I don't know how many lives our KPD team saved in an hour in Kerrville,

00:17:08.720 but I know that this tragedy, as horrific as it is, could have been so much worse.

00:17:15.300 And finally, I want to tell you about a member of our KPD team.

00:17:22.240 These guys have been working around the clock.

00:17:25.500 Fourth of July, traditionally, is an all-hands-on-deck event for us

00:17:31.580 because we hold an amazing concert on the river.

00:17:36.980 On July 4th, it was an all-hands-on-deck event for a very different reason.

00:17:41.760 But our officers had been working without time off, without any downtime,

00:17:46.820 16, 18, 20-hour shifts, without complaint.

00:17:52.120 Yesterday was the first day we were able to give a couple of them some downtime,

00:17:56.780 so we sent an officer home to rest.

00:18:01.240 But rather than taking a day off, a much well-deserved day off,

00:18:04.580 he got up and he put on his gear and he volunteered to go out on foot

00:18:11.180 with a ground search party.

00:18:13.440 And he spent his day up and down the Guadalupe River

00:18:17.760 going over, under, around trees, searching for victims

00:18:22.340 to try and reunite the missing with their families.

00:18:27.800 I think that is Texans helping Texans in the greatest sense of the word.

00:18:41.120 That's what community is.

00:18:44.280 And that's what's important right now.

00:18:48.760 I want to continue to thank you all for helping us

00:18:51.940 spread the messages that need to be spread.

00:18:55.120 Before I open this up for a very few questions,

00:18:59.580 just ask you to please, I'm sorry,

00:19:04.560 just ask you to please say your name and who you're with

00:19:09.920 before we do that.

00:19:13.220 Yes, right here.

00:19:16.060 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:19:17.240 The mayor is supposed to speak now.

00:19:19.260 I apologize.

00:19:20.540 Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry.

00:19:21.680 Good morning, everyone.

00:19:29.500 As Jonathan Lamb has said,

00:19:31.560 this is a story of tragedy,

00:19:33.900 but it's also a story of heroes.

00:19:38.420 Kevin Walden, thank you for all you've done.

00:19:42.000 Every first responder,

00:19:43.660 thank you for all you have done.

00:19:44.960 The recent numbers reported break my heart.

00:19:51.940 And they break the heart of everyone up here.

00:19:56.020 Everyone who's been working since July the 4th.

00:19:59.780 I want you to know,

00:20:01.560 I think it's important for the public to know.

00:20:03.620 I think it's important for the families to know.

00:20:05.840 In that emergency operations center,

00:20:08.620 there's not little silos of departments and agencies.

00:20:12.180 They're working as one team with one goal,

00:20:17.300 to find the missing and bring them home.

00:20:22.020 I'm grateful for every first responder,

00:20:25.280 every helper in every field.

00:20:27.760 Those who are feeding the hungry,

00:20:30.880 those who are providing shelter to people who have no home,

00:20:34.500 those who are providing clothing,

00:20:36.240 who no longer have a wardrobe.

00:20:40.620 I'm also grateful for the generosity of the world.

00:20:47.040 Two companies that are hometown companies,

00:20:50.180 companies that started in Kerrville, Texas,

00:20:53.120 announced today and yesterday

00:20:54.560 that they will be donating to the relief effort.

00:20:59.020 Everyone in Kerrville is proud of H-E-B 1.00

00:21:01.400 and James Avery Artisan Jewelry.

00:21:07.920 Had a different name for so long, I'm sorry.

00:21:10.540 Those two companies started here.

00:21:13.880 Their heart is here.

00:21:19.100 We are committed to helping others.

00:21:24.560 After you all go home

00:21:25.880 or go to the next story,

00:21:28.480 we will still be here.

00:21:31.280 We live here.

00:21:39.300 We've lost friends here.

00:21:42.200 We've lost friends here.

00:21:42.220 If you feel able to donate to the relief fund,

00:21:52.140 the best source we are recommending

00:21:54.240 is the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.

00:21:58.320 Their website is communityfoundation.net.

00:22:04.400 There's a link at the top of that page

00:22:06.220 to help you donate.

00:22:07.040 Now, listen.

00:22:10.760 I'm married to a retired first grade teacher.

00:22:24.320 Okay, they've...

00:22:25.360 It looks like they've lost audio

00:22:26.760 as soon as we get it back up.

00:22:28.260 There we go.

00:22:28.780 So if you feel the need to yell your questions...

00:22:29.980 Going back to the conference.

00:22:30.780 I will feel the need

00:22:32.360 to not answer your question.

00:22:35.020 In first grade,

00:22:35.920 they raised their hands.

00:22:38.280 That might be a good start.

00:22:40.420 Yesterday was a disaster.

00:22:42.760 And I was embarrassed.

00:22:44.480 Our town was embarrassed.

00:22:46.240 Your viewers were embarrassed.

00:22:50.660 And I don't want that to happen again.

00:22:54.180 I'm going to do something

00:22:55.200 I've been told to do.

00:22:56.580 I'm going to turn it back

00:22:57.920 to Jonathan Lamb

00:22:58.760 to start the question-and-answer period.

00:23:00.680 However,

00:23:01.660 please make my retired

00:23:03.940 first grade teacher wife proud.

00:23:06.680 And raise your hands.

00:23:08.200 Thank you.

00:23:13.100 Okay.

00:23:13.820 Well, once again,

00:23:15.000 just say your name, please,

00:23:16.360 and who you're with.

00:23:17.480 Okay, we get it.

00:23:30.620 There we go.

00:23:31.180 Let's get another feed. 0.59

00:23:31.960 Okay.

00:23:32.080 On Friday morning,

00:23:33.620 where an Ingram volunteer

00:23:34.980 fire department commander

00:23:36.680 asked a Kirk County sheriff

00:23:40.080 dispatcher for the code red

00:23:42.660 to be issued.

00:23:44.400 Okay.

00:23:47.480 We're going to try another feed.

00:23:55.580 There's real problems

00:23:56.360 this morning with the feed on this.

00:23:57.760 What happened

00:23:58.600 and what could have happened

00:23:59.940 at that time?

00:24:00.680 Okay.

00:24:01.160 As I've said earlier,

00:24:02.700 with every significant event,

00:24:04.420 you know,

00:24:04.820 we're going,

00:24:05.880 with every emergency,

00:24:07.040 you know,

00:24:07.280 we're going to have to,

00:24:08.880 there's going to be an after action.

00:24:10.500 Please, y'all,

00:24:11.580 listen to those words.

00:24:12.580 After action.

00:24:13.520 Okay.

00:24:14.480 Those questions

00:24:16.020 are going to be answered.

00:24:16.660 I believe those questions

00:24:18.100 need to be answered

00:24:18.940 to the family of the misloved ones,

00:24:20.740 to the public,

00:24:22.100 you know,

00:24:22.360 to the people that put me

00:24:23.220 in this office,

00:24:23.980 those need to be,

00:24:24.660 and I want that answer

00:24:25.640 and we're going to get that answer.

00:24:27.060 And I know that's going

00:24:27.880 to be asked over and over.

00:24:29.420 Please understand that.

00:24:30.680 You know,

00:24:30.900 we don't have,

00:24:31.360 we're not running.

00:24:31.980 We're not going to hide

00:24:32.580 from everything.

00:24:33.020 That's going to be checked

00:24:33.820 into at a later time.

00:24:35.320 I wish I could tell you that time.

00:24:36.720 I don't know that time.

00:24:37.540 Let me share something with y'all.

00:24:39.140 One of the main things

00:24:39.840 I've been doing

00:24:40.440 is going and visiting the family.

00:24:41.980 We still have some of those

00:24:42.940 misloved ones here.

00:24:44.240 I go visit them twice a day.

00:24:46.220 You know,

00:24:46.420 as a sheriff,

00:24:47.220 you know what,

00:24:47.580 what I want is

00:24:48.240 I want closure for those people.

00:24:50.060 Okay.

00:24:50.760 And those are important questions.

00:24:52.980 Those are,

00:24:53.440 we will answer those questions.

00:24:55.080 I wish y'all would bear with me in that.

00:24:57.440 Okay.

00:24:57.900 Bear with me.

00:24:58.580 We'll get them.

00:24:59.400 I can't tell you when a week or two.

00:25:00.960 Okay.

00:25:01.340 We're going to get them.

00:25:02.280 I'm not trying to deflect them.

00:25:03.660 Okay.

00:25:03.880 My primary,

00:25:05.120 I mean,

00:25:05.460 I ask you,

00:25:06.060 I've been in this business 36 years.

00:25:08.100 I don't know if any of y'all,

00:25:09.740 how many of y'all

00:25:10.380 have gave notifications,

00:25:11.860 death notifications.

00:25:12.600 I've done them.

00:25:13.300 What is worse?

00:25:14.040 A death notification

00:25:15.060 or telling somebody

00:25:16.060 I don't know where your loved one was.

00:25:17.820 That's my priority.

00:25:18.940 Okay.

00:25:19.120 Now,

00:25:19.300 please understand that.

00:25:20.840 Sir,

00:25:21.260 since you're up,

00:25:22.040 can I ask you a question?

00:25:23.920 Sergeant Lamb.

00:25:25.540 Sergeant Lamb.

00:25:26.380 Tammy from the Hill Country Community Journal.

00:25:28.680 Yes.

00:25:28.960 We've talked a lot about

00:25:29.920 the recovery effort

00:25:31.420 and it's amazing,

00:25:32.980 but I wonder

00:25:34.300 what we can tell

00:25:35.740 the displaced families.

00:25:37.120 Where do they go?

00:25:38.120 How do they get in touch with FEMA?

00:25:39.780 I think there's a lot of that

00:25:40.920 and we haven't had a chance

00:25:41.940 to discuss it.

00:25:43.060 Right.

00:25:43.380 So,

00:25:43.920 unfortunately,

00:25:44.300 I don't have the FEMA number.

00:25:45.660 I know there is a FEMA hotline

00:25:47.220 specifically for this

00:25:48.640 and I don't have it

00:25:49.540 at my fingertips

00:25:50.220 and I apologize for that.

00:25:51.840 We are pushing out

00:25:53.000 the recovery information

00:25:54.900 through our social media posts.

00:25:58.940 The First United Methodist Church,

00:26:01.300 321 Thompson Drive,

00:26:02.980 is still the shelter operation

00:26:05.580 for displaced persons

00:26:07.020 through this disaster.

00:26:08.560 They are fully equipped

00:26:09.460 and still accepting folks.

00:26:11.440 Sergeant Lamb.

00:26:12.200 Sergeant.

00:26:12.700 Sergeant Lamb.

00:26:13.420 Yes, sir.

00:26:13.960 Lewis,

00:26:14.240 I have a story

00:26:14.620 from the Kerr County League.

00:26:15.980 Sergeant Lamb,

00:26:16.740 yesterday the governor's office

00:26:17.820 said there was 161 missing.

00:26:19.580 Is that a Kerr County number

00:26:21.240 or is that a roll-up number?

00:26:23.060 Where are we at

00:26:24.620 with the number of missing?

00:26:26.420 It's my understanding

00:26:27.460 that the number

00:26:28.760 that the governor referred to

00:26:31.200 was a Kerr County number

00:26:32.940 and, again,

00:26:34.540 I have no reason

00:26:35.620 to doubt that number

00:26:36.520 and it was compiled

00:26:37.320 from the best available information.

00:26:39.500 But we are asking folks

00:26:41.380 to make sure

00:26:42.280 that the numbers

00:26:42.980 that we have

00:26:43.540 are accurate.

00:26:44.240 So if somebody

00:26:45.780 has been reported missing

00:26:47.020 and they have

00:26:47.740 now been accounted for,

00:26:49.600 please let us know that

00:26:50.920 so we can revise

00:26:52.340 those numbers

00:26:53.080 and make sure

00:26:54.000 that they continue

00:26:54.740 to be accurate.

00:26:55.620 Yes, ma'am.

00:26:56.020 Thank you.

00:26:57.460 Thank you, Juanita,

00:26:58.600 with Telemundo NBC.

00:27:00.220 Yesterday,

00:27:00.900 Governor Abbott said

00:27:01.780 that two days prior

00:27:02.980 to the disaster,

00:27:04.040 he had provided resources

00:27:05.580 and they were here

00:27:06.840 on ground.

00:27:08.020 I know this is a question

00:27:08.800 for the mayor,

00:27:09.900 but he said

00:27:10.840 you guys were prepared

00:27:12.100 that you had

00:27:13.000 those essentials.

00:27:15.060 What happened?

00:27:15.960 Did you guys

00:27:16.700 have those resources?

00:27:18.460 Yeah, listen,

00:27:19.200 I'm going to just say

00:27:20.520 what has already been said.

00:27:22.480 At the appropriate time,

00:27:24.320 all of that is going

00:27:25.940 to be reviewed

00:27:26.800 and checked into.

00:27:28.020 I don't have the answer

00:27:28.920 to that question

00:27:30.340 right now.

00:27:31.420 I don't have

00:27:32.060 that information.

00:27:33.060 And rather than speculate,

00:27:34.560 it would be irresponsible

00:27:35.380 for me to do that.

00:27:36.740 Mayor, could you speak

00:27:38.440 on that?

00:27:39.500 Repeat the question, please.

00:27:40.840 Yesterday,

00:27:41.440 Governor Greg Abbott

00:27:42.360 said two days prior

00:27:44.020 to the disaster,

00:27:44.960 he had provided the town

00:27:46.120 with more than enough

00:27:47.180 resources to respond

00:27:49.100 to the disaster.

00:27:51.140 Were those resources

00:27:52.080 here, locals tell us

00:27:53.320 they didn't see

00:27:54.520 any resources.

00:27:55.280 They didn't see anyone

00:27:55.960 until hours after

00:27:57.460 the disaster.

00:27:58.620 Thank you.

00:27:59.040 What resources

00:27:59.600 did you guys have

00:28:00.460 and why wasn't

00:28:01.640 there any response?

00:28:03.140 Okay.

00:28:03.800 I didn't see

00:28:04.680 the governor's remarks.

00:28:06.260 I haven't seen

00:28:06.780 the governor's remarks.

00:28:07.600 Last night,

00:28:08.060 we had a city council

00:28:08.760 meeting and I was

00:28:10.440 required to be there.

00:28:14.300 And so I can't,

00:28:15.320 I'm sorry,

00:28:15.900 I don't know

00:28:16.480 what resources TDM

00:28:18.840 had in place

00:28:19.580 at that time.

00:28:21.080 I know when I arrived

00:28:22.880 at the emergency

00:28:23.600 operations center

00:28:24.520 on the morning

00:28:25.380 of July 4th,

00:28:26.960 there were TDM

00:28:27.680 personnel there.

00:28:29.840 But what assets

00:28:30.600 they were able

00:28:32.660 to use that morning,

00:28:33.920 I'm sorry,

00:28:34.420 I do not know.

00:28:36.420 Listen,

00:28:37.080 people are yelling

00:28:37.800 and I didn't really

00:28:38.980 want to.

00:28:39.600 If you offer only

00:28:40.360 three questions,

00:28:41.220 then you're going

00:28:41.540 to have to yell.

00:28:41.860 Guess what?

00:28:42.540 You're in curve

00:28:43.080 and we're going

00:28:43.580 to do it my way.

00:28:44.360 I understand that.

00:28:45.140 Morgan Chesky,

00:28:45.900 please.

00:28:46.140 Mr. Mayor,

00:28:47.260 records show

00:28:48.040 that the concept

00:28:49.340 of flood warnings

00:28:50.180 have been discussed

00:28:50.740 at least two dozen

00:28:51.620 times by the county.

00:28:53.200 What's the biggest

00:28:53.640 reason that these

00:28:55.180 systems have not

00:28:56.040 gone into place

00:28:56.580 at this point?

00:28:57.380 You know,

00:28:58.600 Morgan,

00:28:59.020 you and I grew

00:28:59.480 up here.

00:29:01.160 And I wasn't

00:29:03.720 in office during

00:29:04.360 those discussions.

00:29:05.820 And frankly,

00:29:06.520 I'm more focused

00:29:07.300 on the future

00:29:07.920 than the past,

00:29:08.980 as you know.

00:29:10.020 What I can say

00:29:11.280 is the governor,

00:29:13.500 the lieutenant governor,

00:29:14.460 the speaker of the

00:29:15.820 Texas House have

00:29:17.020 all provided us

00:29:18.400 support and they

00:29:19.640 have all said

00:29:20.380 this is a priority

00:29:21.620 for the upcoming

00:29:22.280 special legislative

00:29:23.980 session.

00:29:25.560 As mayor of Curva,

00:29:27.140 as someone who

00:29:28.240 grew up here,

00:29:29.160 I am grateful

00:29:29.780 for their support

00:29:30.580 and I look forward

00:29:31.820 to what they

00:29:33.220 proposed during

00:29:33.760 the special session.

00:29:34.560 My last question

00:29:35.140 will be...

00:29:35.820 Thank you,

00:29:36.500 sir.

00:29:36.740 Shemone,

00:29:37.180 Provost for CNN.

00:29:38.700 The lieutenant

00:29:39.780 governor said

00:29:40.360 that on July 3rd

00:29:41.460 that the county

00:29:42.080 judges and city

00:29:43.580 mayors were

00:29:44.120 invited on a

00:29:44.800 daily call

00:29:45.320 Thursday to

00:29:46.700 discuss weather

00:29:47.620 forecasts.

00:29:48.520 Were you on

00:29:49.200 that call?

00:29:50.740 Were you invited

00:29:51.460 to that call?

00:29:53.360 Do you know

00:29:53.620 if the county

00:29:54.020 judge was also

00:29:55.280 on that call?

00:29:55.840 I can't speak

00:29:56.560 for the county

00:29:57.220 judge.

00:29:57.580 That would be

00:29:57.880 hearsay.

00:29:58.620 And I'm not

00:29:59.220 going to contradict

00:29:59.800 the information

00:30:00.680 you have.

00:30:01.620 But I will tell

00:30:02.340 you, personally,

00:30:03.660 I did not receive

00:30:04.500 a telephone bill.

00:30:05.400 You weren't

00:30:06.140 invited to the

00:30:06.920 call?

00:30:09.440 I did not

00:30:10.220 receive a telephone

00:30:10.760 call.

00:30:10.880 And you were

00:30:11.460 never given

00:30:11.900 any information

00:30:12.640 about what

00:30:13.060 assets were

00:30:13.820 brought into

00:30:14.800 the area.

00:30:16.680 So, I wasn't

00:30:18.120 invited to the

00:30:18.600 call.

00:30:18.960 I'm not trying

00:30:19.400 to deflect,

00:30:20.040 but I don't

00:30:20.820 know why

00:30:21.200 that, why

00:30:21.880 that would

00:30:23.420 happen?

00:30:24.140 Maybe I'm

00:30:24.760 not a local

00:30:25.220 mayor.

00:30:25.600 I can't tell.

00:30:26.600 All right.

00:30:27.300 Thank you,

00:30:27.700 guys.

00:30:27.900 Please, please,

00:30:29.060 please, please.

00:30:29.680 From the

00:30:30.140 people, please.

00:30:31.140 Okay, let me

00:30:32.320 have the only

00:30:35.060 answer.

00:30:35.500 Okay, the only

00:30:35.940 taking a few

00:30:36.460 questions.

00:30:36.840 I don't get

00:30:37.260 that.

00:30:37.900 Jack Posobiec,

00:30:39.420 because you

00:30:39.860 kind of, I

00:30:40.420 think, broke

00:30:40.920 it, made this

00:30:41.680 prominent on

00:30:42.360 a, at least a

00:30:45.000 U.S. basis,

00:30:45.640 probably a global

00:30:46.260 basis.

00:30:46.920 Talk to us

00:30:47.420 about what's

00:30:47.940 happening with

00:30:48.540 people prepared,

00:30:49.520 what happened

00:30:49.880 in Austin, and

00:30:50.700 your observations

00:30:51.620 about, I think,

00:30:52.780 another great

00:30:53.920 press briefing.

00:30:54.660 Yeah, Steve,

00:30:57.440 I mean, this

00:30:57.880 mayor, I'm

00:30:59.960 watching, I'm

00:31:00.380 flabbergasted.

00:31:01.160 I mean, all of

00:31:02.140 these children who

00:31:02.840 died on his

00:31:03.340 watch, and he's

00:31:04.140 up there

00:31:04.580 complaining about

00:31:05.700 the media, he's

00:31:06.520 complaining about

00:31:07.060 having to answer

00:31:07.680 questions.

00:31:08.280 Sir, you're the

00:31:08.860 mayor of this

00:31:09.480 town.

00:31:10.300 Okay, you're the

00:31:10.900 mayor of the

00:31:11.240 town, so you

00:31:11.700 got to find out

00:31:12.280 what happened,

00:31:13.360 and you need to

00:31:14.180 provide answers,

00:31:15.200 not just to the

00:31:16.220 community, but to

00:31:17.260 the parents, to

00:31:18.480 everybody, about

00:31:19.820 what went on

00:31:20.900 here, what broke

00:31:21.700 down.

00:31:22.280 And he's saying

00:31:22.720 he doesn't hear

00:31:23.240 that he didn't

00:31:23.800 know about

00:31:24.400 the conference

00:31:25.580 that the governor

00:31:26.440 was just there

00:31:27.140 yesterday.

00:31:27.840 What do you mean

00:31:28.140 he didn't know

00:31:28.540 about the

00:31:28.860 conference?

00:31:29.240 The governor

00:31:29.580 was just there,

00:31:30.400 and the

00:31:30.840 government talked

00:31:31.540 about having

00:31:32.200 resources on

00:31:33.420 July 2nd.

00:31:34.960 So this is what

00:31:35.420 we're all talking

00:31:36.060 about, Steve, and

00:31:36.620 this is what I've

00:31:36.960 been talking about

00:31:37.540 online.

00:31:38.200 What resources

00:31:39.500 were available on

00:31:40.920 July 2nd, and

00:31:41.900 what was the order

00:31:42.700 that went down on

00:31:43.520 July 2nd, which

00:31:45.100 was two days prior

00:31:47.000 to the flood?

00:31:49.080 So regardless of

00:31:50.220 what acronyms or

00:31:51.240 whatever jargon they

00:31:52.180 want to use, people

00:31:52.640 use jargon to

00:31:53.320 intimidate.

00:31:53.720 They said there

00:31:54.420 was an order

00:31:54.800 that went down

00:31:55.280 July 2nd, and

00:31:56.240 Austin denied it.

00:31:57.320 I want to play

00:31:57.780 the clip.

00:31:58.360 I want to play

00:31:58.840 the clip and

00:31:59.300 have you come

00:31:59.900 in.

00:32:00.080 This is from the

00:32:00.700 fire association.

00:32:02.040 I just don't

00:32:02.740 even have words.

00:32:07.840 Our firefighters

00:32:08.680 are trained for

00:32:09.580 that area.

00:32:10.320 Our firefighters

00:32:10.900 have the

00:32:11.400 equipment, they

00:32:12.000 have the desire,

00:32:12.820 they have the

00:32:13.160 will, they have

00:32:13.580 the power to

00:32:15.020 go up and

00:32:15.460 actually, I know

00:32:16.800 some of those

00:32:17.240 girls could have 1.00

00:32:17.760 been survived if

00:32:18.540 we had had the

00:32:19.000 best boat crew the

00:32:20.300 day before on scene.

00:32:21.540 I know it.

00:32:22.060 I know in my

00:32:22.880 heart, I know

00:32:23.320 as a battalion

00:32:24.740 chief, I know

00:32:25.360 it as a former

00:32:26.680 swift water tech

00:32:27.660 myself.

00:32:29.280 And the fact

00:32:29.860 that we didn't

00:32:32.540 do it and we

00:32:33.060 let them down,

00:32:34.020 it's just, it's

00:32:35.620 unconscionable.

00:32:38.160 Jack, how did he

00:32:39.100 know on the

00:32:40.500 second to do

00:32:42.460 this?

00:32:43.060 He's basically

00:32:44.200 implying the

00:32:44.780 forecasts were good

00:32:45.580 enough, he knew

00:32:46.160 something big was

00:32:46.880 coming?

00:32:47.860 Sir?

00:32:48.940 He's saying that

00:32:50.100 on the second,

00:32:50.680 and again, I'm

00:32:51.260 going off of, and

00:32:52.400 this is the Austin

00:32:53.360 Fire Association

00:32:54.560 president off of

00:32:55.880 their press release

00:32:56.800 yesterday and then

00:32:57.760 of course the

00:32:58.260 statement that we

00:32:58.820 just played and

00:32:59.380 there's, I watched

00:33:00.280 the whole thing, it

00:33:00.760 was 30 minutes

00:33:01.300 long and he

00:33:02.160 talked about, went

00:33:03.000 through chapter and

00:33:03.780 verse about how

00:33:05.000 there was a

00:33:05.820 deployment order, a

00:33:06.780 pre-deployment

00:33:07.520 order that came down

00:33:08.600 on the second.

00:33:09.420 Of course, this is

00:33:10.000 based on forecast and

00:33:11.060 based on everything

00:33:11.600 they were looking at

00:33:12.200 in the area.

00:33:12.960 They said, hey, it

00:33:13.500 looks like something

00:33:14.120 might be brewing down

00:33:15.180 in Kerrville.

00:33:15.720 Let's pre-position

00:33:16.980 some boats, let's

00:33:18.300 pre-position some

00:33:19.260 of these rescue

00:33:19.900 swimmers, the

00:33:20.620 swift water

00:33:21.660 swimmers, swift

00:33:22.300 water techs, that

00:33:23.360 train specifically

00:33:24.580 for the hill

00:33:25.360 country.

00:33:25.940 These are world

00:33:26.480 class swimmers out

00:33:27.400 of Austin.

00:33:28.240 And the Austin

00:33:28.960 Fire Department

00:33:30.180 chief, this guy

00:33:32.680 sitting up there

00:33:33.540 denied it and

00:33:34.760 supposedly he said

00:33:35.640 that he was

00:33:36.080 worried about the

00:33:37.000 reimbursements from

00:33:37.860 the state and he

00:33:38.420 said, oh, we're

00:33:39.180 worried about the

00:33:39.780 money and he said,

00:33:40.420 wait, it's all

00:33:40.880 going to be reimbursed,

00:33:41.820 don't worry about

00:33:42.440 it.

00:33:42.760 But the Austin

00:33:43.480 Fire Chief denied

00:33:45.000 the pre-deployment.

00:33:46.980 Then on the third

00:33:47.880 when it was getting

00:33:48.560 worse, they went

00:33:49.640 back again and said,

00:33:50.600 can we pre-deploy

00:33:51.300 at least now?

00:33:52.040 We can see that

00:33:52.580 things are getting

00:33:53.040 worse.

00:33:53.500 He denied it a

00:33:54.260 second time.

00:33:54.880 And then finally,

00:33:55.880 only after the flood

00:33:57.500 struck did they

00:33:58.780 deploy and they

00:33:59.600 didn't deploy the

00:34:00.500 two boats.

00:34:01.100 They only deployed

00:34:01.740 one.

00:34:02.280 They didn't deploy

00:34:02.980 six swimmers.

00:34:03.780 They only deployed

00:34:04.520 three.

00:34:05.120 So you could have

00:34:05.700 had two boats and

00:34:06.700 three swimmers.

00:34:07.740 And who knows?

00:34:08.720 Who knows what

00:34:09.460 could have been done

00:34:10.100 if those swimmers

00:34:11.040 and I understand

00:34:11.760 and by the way,

00:34:12.400 nothing against the

00:34:13.040 valor of the police

00:34:14.640 officers and the

00:34:16.320 folks who were

00:34:17.020 there, but don't

00:34:17.880 sit there and tell

00:34:18.540 me that you didn't

00:34:19.360 know something was

00:34:20.120 going on when this

00:34:21.040 order came down on

00:34:22.500 July 2nd and you

00:34:24.100 denied it, sir.

00:34:25.420 So this fire chief

00:34:26.460 up in Austin denied

00:34:27.900 this pre-deployment.

00:34:28.720 So something was

00:34:29.640 going down.

00:34:30.580 Somebody knew

00:34:31.300 something was

00:34:31.820 happening on July

00:34:32.740 2nd and they're all

00:34:33.820 sitting there saying,

00:34:34.440 oh, we didn't know.

00:34:35.240 We wasn't on the call

00:34:36.320 and I didn't hear the

00:34:37.300 briefing.

00:34:37.740 No, stop passing the

00:34:38.760 buck.

00:34:38.960 This guy should

00:34:39.620 resign.

00:34:40.780 As someone who

00:34:42.380 served in the

00:34:42.740 military, Steve, this

00:34:43.520 is a complete

00:34:44.200 abrogation of

00:34:45.160 responsibility and

00:34:46.180 it's disgusting when

00:34:47.000 you have this many

00:34:47.560 dead kids on your

00:34:48.320 hands.

00:34:50.660 The other thing to

00:34:51.600 note is that you

00:34:52.680 got to bifurcate

00:34:53.520 this, what happened

00:34:54.560 in the chain of

00:34:55.120 responsibility, like

00:34:56.200 starting now from

00:34:57.120 the recovery

00:34:58.160 operation.

00:34:59.260 The buried lead

00:35:00.220 in this thing for

00:35:00.700 the last couple of

00:35:01.240 days, the guy said

00:35:02.080 yesterday, there has

00:35:02.780 not been a live

00:35:03.820 rescue, I think

00:35:05.220 since, I thought

00:35:06.420 he said Friday

00:35:06.900 morning, but

00:35:07.440 definitely Friday.

00:35:08.960 The rest of it has

00:35:10.440 been recovery.

00:35:11.320 And recovery is

00:35:11.980 horrible.

00:35:12.460 You got to do it

00:35:13.060 thoroughly and as

00:35:13.720 quickly as possible

00:35:14.500 for the families.

00:35:15.920 But you can

00:35:16.400 bifurcate what's

00:35:17.200 happening here and

00:35:17.840 you can bifurcate the

00:35:18.720 press conference.

00:35:19.340 One part of the

00:35:19.880 press conference should

00:35:20.420 be for the update on

00:35:21.840 the recoveries and

00:35:22.620 where you stand and

00:35:23.420 all the problems in

00:35:24.740 the county and down

00:35:25.820 on the river.

00:35:26.840 The other ought to be

00:35:27.700 taking questions that

00:35:29.420 the media has and

00:35:30.440 people have responsibility

00:35:32.060 to ask, like, what

00:35:33.220 happened here?

00:35:35.120 It's current now.

00:35:36.160 It's in the moment.

00:35:36.780 It's something that

00:35:37.660 would have to be

00:35:38.080 answered, not to

00:35:38.780 wait to some

00:35:39.260 commission in three

00:35:40.540 years from now and

00:35:41.880 hide behind it.

00:35:42.760 So I've got to

00:35:43.660 bounce because we're

00:35:44.380 so jammed.

00:35:44.980 Geneva, we're going

00:35:45.580 to do Geneva

00:35:46.140 tonight.

00:35:46.700 I had people, we

00:35:47.360 had Joe Allen and

00:35:48.980 Norba because of the 1.00

00:35:49.880 press conference and

00:35:50.520 others.

00:35:50.980 But Jack, give me two

00:35:52.200 minutes on your

00:35:53.100 solution because you

00:35:54.560 know the deep state as

00:35:55.540 well as anybody.

00:35:56.120 Your solution on the

00:35:58.060 Epstein situation.

00:35:59.320 Now, since you went in

00:36:00.340 for the first, what do

00:36:01.020 you call it, the

00:36:01.460 bologna file or the

00:36:04.040 bologna burger they gave

00:36:05.400 you over the way, the

00:36:06.400 bologna binder.

00:36:07.340 What is your

00:36:08.000 recommendation today?

00:36:09.100 Very, very, very fine

00:36:10.760 binder full of bologna.

00:36:11.240 You and D.C.

00:36:11.880 Drano are up in the 1.00

00:36:12.800 middle of this thing.

00:36:13.480 What's your guy's

00:36:14.060 recommendation?

00:36:14.660 What has to happen

00:36:15.560 today, sir?

00:36:17.500 Look, here's the issue,

00:36:19.440 all right?

00:36:19.720 And I'll be fair.

00:36:20.700 I'll be fair, but I'm

00:36:21.600 going to be blunt.

00:36:22.560 The idea that we've got

00:36:24.400 access or that the DOJ

00:36:26.220 has access to everything

00:36:27.800 and, you know, is, you

00:36:30.780 know, that there's just

00:36:31.400 some list sitting around.

00:36:32.440 I get it, okay?

00:36:33.120 I get that it's not

00:36:33.860 really this fine list and

00:36:35.980 here you go, you can have

00:36:36.920 it.

00:36:37.140 I get how that works,

00:36:38.400 right?

00:36:38.520 I've been in the system.

00:36:39.360 I've been on the other

00:36:39.760 side of that table.

00:36:40.960 But don't sit there and

00:36:41.980 tell me there's nothing

00:36:42.800 when you told me there

00:36:43.640 was something.

00:36:44.500 That's the issue for the

00:36:45.900 AG is you told the entire

00:36:47.960 world there was something.

00:36:49.280 You told us there were

00:36:50.000 files.

00:36:50.640 You told us there were

00:36:51.400 lists.

00:36:51.740 I'm not talking about the

00:36:52.640 kiddie porn, all right?

00:36:53.760 I get that, right?

00:36:54.900 We don't want that

00:36:55.480 release.

00:36:55.900 We don't want to protect

00:36:56.660 those victims.

00:36:58.040 But what we need to do is

00:36:59.680 figure out the

00:37:00.480 investigation.

00:37:01.540 And by the way, when it

00:37:02.400 comes to those victims,

00:37:03.840 were they interviewed?

00:37:04.860 Were the victims

00:37:05.600 interviewed?

00:37:06.460 And did people go

00:37:07.460 through?

00:37:07.960 And I understand it's a

00:37:08.860 process, but that's how

00:37:09.840 this works, right?

00:37:10.480 That's how you

00:37:11.180 investigate these types of

00:37:12.820 operations and these types

00:37:14.060 of crimes is that you do

00:37:15.420 unfortunately have to do

00:37:17.020 it in a careful way and

00:37:17.860 you have specifically

00:37:18.460 trained people who can do

00:37:19.420 this.

00:37:19.760 You bring in the

00:37:20.360 therapist, et cetera, but

00:37:21.620 you need to get the

00:37:22.740 names.

00:37:23.440 And for all of these

00:37:24.200 hundreds of victims,

00:37:25.680 where's the interviews?

00:37:26.820 Then you generate leads.

00:37:28.140 Then you figure out what

00:37:29.160 happens.

00:37:29.560 So don't tell me there's

00:37:30.300 nothing.

00:37:30.560 Don't sit there for

00:37:31.480 and I will tell it like

00:37:33.300 I'm like I'm a joke, like

00:37:34.280 it's a joke that there's

00:37:35.360 nothing.

00:37:35.820 No, it's absolutely not.

00:37:37.200 Put out everything you

00:37:38.100 have.

00:37:38.680 Start going to SDNY right

00:37:40.280 now and start declassifying

00:37:42.380 and unsealing everything

00:37:43.660 that you told us existed

00:37:46.160 and we know exists.

00:37:47.660 You have to you have to

00:37:48.880 file charges a day on the

00:37:50.340 prosecutors that went

00:37:52.580 after a man and also the

00:37:54.000 judge got to be impeached

00:37:55.120 immediately.

00:37:56.220 Appellate courts is no

00:37:57.000 evidence.

00:37:57.380 Lack of evidence.

00:37:58.740 Jack, real quickly, 60

00:38:00.380 seconds.

00:38:01.120 We're in the danger zone on

00:38:02.960 what has happened in the

00:38:03.820 Ukraine.

00:38:04.280 They're coming after 0.69

00:38:05.260 Bridge Colby because Bridge

00:38:06.640 Colby was the pivot to

00:38:08.960 Asia guy.

00:38:10.260 The Israeli first guys are 0.99

00:38:11.700 coming after him and now

00:38:12.920 the cheerleaders of the

00:38:14.180 Ukraine war because trying

00:38:15.480 to protect America, he

00:38:16.520 said, hey, I think we're

00:38:17.780 running down on Patriot

00:38:18.860 missiles and dads.

00:38:20.700 Give me 60 seconds on the

00:38:22.040 danger of the Ukraine war

00:38:23.500 and us getting sucked in

00:38:24.480 because they're going for

00:38:25.840 Odessa, brother.

00:38:26.820 You know this.

00:38:27.700 You went down there two

00:38:29.240 years ago and warned the

00:38:30.500 world that this is where

00:38:31.500 it's going to be.

00:38:32.100 And I'm telling you they

00:38:33.460 want to suck the United 0.85

00:38:34.480 States in to a defense of

00:38:36.620 Odessa, sir.

00:38:39.500 Look, Stephen, I've still

00:38:40.680 got the sand on my desk

00:38:42.520 from Odessa that I that I

00:38:44.260 collected from the beach

00:38:45.460 there.

00:38:46.140 And look, when it when it

00:38:47.280 comes down to it, you know,

00:38:48.420 we live in a real world.

00:38:49.520 We're conservative.

00:38:50.040 So we understand that we

00:38:51.060 live in a world of resource

00:38:52.680 constraints, not unless you

00:38:54.260 talk to the neocons and

00:38:55.280 they say, oh, we can fight

00:38:56.180 a war here.

00:38:56.800 We can fight a war against

00:38:57.640 China.

00:38:58.020 We can fight a war against

00:38:58.780 Iran.

00:38:59.180 We can fight a war against

00:38:59.960 Russia.

00:39:00.300 We can do everything.

00:39:01.060 All of it.

00:39:01.360 No, we live in a real world

00:39:02.560 and you you are the ones

00:39:03.940 the same people, by the way,

00:39:05.420 the Wall Streeters and the

00:39:06.460 GDP firsters.

00:39:07.600 They are the ones who

00:39:08.980 completely sold our

00:39:12.040 manufacturing base out to

00:39:13.220 the Chinese Communist Party.

00:39:14.360 And then they turn around

00:39:15.320 and say, wait, we're all

00:39:16.320 the Patriot missile

00:39:17.000 production went.

00:39:18.240 Why are we down to 25%

00:39:19.600 Patriot missiles, 25% of the

00:39:21.420 air interceptors, the air

00:39:22.380 defense, the that missiles

00:39:23.400 because they don't exist

00:39:24.480 because those networks

00:39:25.500 don't exist anymore

00:39:26.360 because you need the

00:39:27.600 entire infrastructure to be

00:39:29.380 able to run a massive

00:39:30.840 global empire army as

00:39:32.720 imperial military that you

00:39:34.280 want wrapping the entire

00:39:35.300 world around.

00:39:35.860 And we just don't have it

00:39:36.560 anymore.

00:39:37.020 We don't have it because

00:39:37.920 you gave away our

00:39:40.100 manufacturing base to the

00:39:41.300 Chinese.

00:39:42.080 So now when it comes

00:39:42.920 around and it's Bridge

00:39:44.800 Colby saying he's the only

00:39:46.020 one who's just telling the

00:39:47.140 truth.

00:39:47.740 He's the only one telling the

00:39:48.860 truth.

00:39:48.980 So we don't have these

00:39:49.760 interceptors.

00:39:50.480 And if we do give them

00:39:51.420 there, then what are we

00:39:52.360 going to use to protect our

00:39:53.640 bases around the world?

00:39:54.820 And by the way, the

00:39:56.380 homeland, because I think

00:39:57.900 we ought to care about that

00:39:58.880 for a little bit, too.

00:40:00.020 Sorry.

00:40:00.480 This is the real world.

00:40:01.880 And this is the situation

00:40:02.940 we're now in.

00:40:05.040 McConnell's team and the

00:40:06.040 factories, you need

00:40:06.820 workers, you need money,

00:40:07.760 you need all of that.

00:40:08.760 Yeah.

00:40:09.760 We're here to defend him.

00:40:11.120 Jack, real quickly, your

00:40:12.280 Twitter fingers.

00:40:13.100 We don't even make

00:40:13.860 stingers anymore. 0.90

00:40:14.520 They got to bring the guys

00:40:15.240 out of retirement.

00:40:15.900 Nobody knows how to make

00:40:18.880 them, sir.

00:40:20.400 Where do you go?

00:40:22.320 I'm fed up today, Steve.

00:40:23.620 I'm fed up today.

00:40:24.340 What can I say?

00:40:24.900 You're fired up, man.

00:40:25.740 I'm looking at this mayor.

00:40:26.800 He's got me hot.

00:40:28.740 No, no.

00:40:29.240 Hobbit.

00:40:30.400 No, Hobbit's a good.

00:40:31.360 Hobbit, man.

00:40:32.680 Oh, you've got to raise

00:40:34.020 your hand.

00:40:34.140 I love Hobbit.

00:40:35.020 I love Hobbit.

00:40:35.520 You've got to be nice.

00:40:36.100 This guy, this guy's like

00:40:37.920 the beta male.

00:40:40.620 Be nice to me, America

00:40:41.880 first grade teacher.

00:40:43.140 I thought this was Texas,

00:40:44.820 by the way.

00:40:45.180 What happened to Texas?

00:40:47.100 Where's tough, tough Texas,

00:40:48.500 man?

00:40:48.900 Don't mess with Texas.

00:40:50.020 Try that in Texas.

00:40:51.040 We're all those.

00:40:51.680 And I'm a Yankee.

00:40:52.940 I thought you guys were

00:40:54.340 supposed to be tough as

00:40:55.240 bootleather ones.

00:40:56.420 Sorry, Texas.

00:40:57.520 If this is the guy who's

00:40:58.440 representing you, you're not

00:40:59.660 being well represented on

00:41:00.800 the national stage right now.

00:41:01.940 Sorry to be blunt, but this

00:41:03.600 is the war room, and that's

00:41:04.380 the truth.

00:41:04.820 I'm up at Jack Posobiec.

00:41:06.120 I'll be there at 2 o'clock,

00:41:07.400 and then Charlie and I have

00:41:08.360 got the Thought Crime Show.

00:41:09.340 We're taping it later tonight,

00:41:10.600 and that'll go up either

00:41:11.420 today or tomorrow.

00:41:12.060 Perfect.

00:41:13.520 And we'll see you at the,

00:41:14.440 let's get the, we'll see you

00:41:15.880 up at the student action

00:41:17.620 summit.

00:41:17.860 And this weekend.

00:41:18.500 This weekend we'll be in

00:41:19.200 Tampa together.

00:41:20.760 Weekend's going to be historic.

00:41:21.880 Thank you, brother.

00:41:23.520 All right.

00:41:23.660 George Papadopoulos, thank you

00:41:25.500 for sticking around.

00:41:26.220 You put up a kind of a cryptic

00:41:27.840 tweet yesterday, then.

00:41:29.540 Brennan and Comey now are under

00:41:31.280 criminal investigation.

00:41:32.660 Walk us through what you were

00:41:33.560 talking about.

00:41:34.520 Explain to the audience what you

00:41:35.740 mean, sir.

00:41:36.300 Yes, Steve, it's great to be

00:41:38.900 with you.

00:41:39.340 Look, I mean, what a historic

00:41:40.320 moment.

00:41:40.920 You have the FBI, former FBI

00:41:43.060 director and the former

00:41:44.200 director of the CIA simultaneously

00:41:46.660 under criminal investigation for

00:41:49.160 what looks to be a criminal

00:41:50.400 conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

00:41:53.000 government, let alone the

00:41:54.760 illegal and the illicit

00:41:56.180 surveillance activities and the

00:41:58.760 interference in the 2016 election.

00:42:01.280 And the attempt to basically

00:42:03.300 initiate a coup against a

00:42:05.240 sitting president.

00:42:06.280 So what that ex post that I

00:42:09.360 posted about was was when I

00:42:11.220 testified, I testified actually

00:42:13.320 under oath to then

00:42:14.400 Congressman John Ratcliffe.

00:42:16.480 Now, of course, he's the

00:42:17.460 director of the CIA at a time

00:42:19.640 when I was one of five

00:42:20.740 witnesses that was invited to

00:42:22.200 the House Oversight Committee

00:42:23.260 to give testimony under oath

00:42:25.340 about what happened involving

00:42:27.460 Crossfire Hurricane, the various

00:42:29.600 targeting of members of the

00:42:31.180 Trump campaign, the Trump

00:42:32.120 administration, President

00:42:33.720 Trump himself.

00:42:35.300 And then, of course, you had

00:42:36.760 the Durham investigation, which

00:42:38.180 basically evolved from that

00:42:40.300 testimony and other

00:42:41.260 testimonies.

00:42:42.160 Now, Durham, as you will feel,

00:42:45.440 as you basically pointed out,

00:42:47.340 was a cover up job.

00:42:48.960 If it wasn't for people like

00:42:50.460 Congressman Matt Gaetz that

00:42:52.320 basically hammered away at

00:42:54.060 Durham's testimony, asking him

00:42:55.800 pointed questions about why he

00:42:57.800 didn't dig deep into the

00:42:59.020 basically the origins of the

00:43:02.160 scandal, besides saying that

00:43:04.160 it didn't start the way that

00:43:05.340 Mueller did, I don't think we

00:43:07.300 would have had much to go on.

00:43:09.640 But fortunately now, you have

00:43:11.920 people like Cash Patel at the

00:43:13.540 FBI, you have Ratcliffe, who's

00:43:15.540 at the CIA, and they're once

00:43:17.560 again digging into this stuff,

00:43:19.040 Steve, because when they weren't

00:43:21.020 punished for doing it in 2016,

00:43:22.820 what happened in 2020?

00:43:24.520 The CIA willfully interfered in

00:43:27.080 the 2020 election, and they

00:43:28.800 stole it.

00:43:29.780 We can't let them get away with

00:43:31.260 it, and that's why this is so

00:43:32.840 important and why I think this is

00:43:34.860 going to be history-making, and

00:43:36.720 it's really going to usher in

00:43:38.500 tremendous momentum for MAGA

00:43:40.640 going into the midterms.

00:43:43.540 Let me, give me that again.

00:43:45.320 Why do you think this is going to

00:43:46.500 be history-making?

00:43:47.360 What are you saying going after the

00:43:49.960 perjury charge on Brennan and what

00:43:51.900 they're doing on Comey, that

00:43:53.020 investigation that we now know

00:43:54.600 that the Justice Department and

00:43:57.200 FBI are doing, sir?

00:43:59.720 No, I don't think actually they're

00:44:01.060 looking at any perjury stuff.

00:44:02.540 I think what they're looking at is

00:44:03.560 a criminal conspiracy.

00:44:04.640 I think the statute of

00:44:05.420 limitations on anything perjury

00:44:07.580 related, especially related to

00:44:09.220 Congress, congressional testimony,

00:44:11.200 that's all evaporated.

00:44:13.400 So I think what they're looking at is

00:44:14.520 a conspiracy.

00:44:15.860 And, you know, one thing I'll say,

00:44:17.260 Steve, because, you know, the

00:44:18.520 theme of the week has really been

00:44:19.860 foreign intelligence entanglements

00:44:22.380 with the CIA, with domestic U.S.

00:44:24.600 intelligence, and how they basically

00:44:25.920 coordinate to target individuals or

00:44:29.680 groups for extermination.

00:44:32.320 And I would say that every four years,

00:44:34.740 the most highly anticipated event

00:44:36.780 around the world, it's not the World

00:44:38.440 Cup, it's not the Olympics, it's not

00:44:40.460 the World Series, it's a U.S.

00:44:41.920 presidential campaign season, who,

00:44:44.360 what man or woman ascends to the Oval

00:44:45.980 Office has tremendous ramifications

00:44:48.080 for numerous countries all around

00:44:50.200 the world, not just within the

00:44:51.700 United States.

00:44:52.860 And I think that is what is at the

00:44:54.820 actual core of what this scandal

00:44:57.120 was, Steve.

00:44:58.220 It was a CIA-led operation that

00:45:00.920 involved foreign intelligence,

00:45:02.840 primarily Western intelligence, that

00:45:05.260 then offsets, I should say, buck

00:45:07.300 past this investigation to the FBI.

00:45:10.140 And that's why they're looking at both

00:45:11.740 Brennan and Comey simultaneously.

00:45:14.680 It's not simply Comey, and it's not

00:45:16.360 about Brennan, they're looking at them

00:45:18.300 as part of a conspiracy.

00:45:20.380 They're not looking at perjury, they're

00:45:21.820 not looking at lying under oath stuff.

00:45:24.720 We're far too detached from going after

00:45:27.640 low-level charges like that, especially

00:45:29.580 after the unfortunate fallout from

00:45:32.120 Epstein.

00:45:32.940 Either Bondi, Patel, and Ratcliffe, and

00:45:36.180 the DOJ goes after the massive charges

00:45:38.560 and the big fish, or I think this is

00:45:41.180 going to be a major impediment going

00:45:43.320 into the midterms.

00:45:44.100 If they go after them the way that I do

00:45:46.060 think they will, this is going to be

00:45:47.900 tremendous momentum behind us going

00:45:50.040 into the midterms.

00:45:50.860 And I'm just going to land on this, Steve.

00:45:52.560 We can't forget that it was Mueller's

00:45:55.100 investigation during Trump's first

00:45:57.560 administration that arguably cost us

00:46:00.600 the midterms.

00:46:01.900 With this new investigation, I think it's

00:46:03.820 going to help us win it.

00:46:07.060 George, social media, where do people

00:46:09.240 go?

00:46:10.800 You can find me on X at GeorgePapa19.

00:46:16.160 And dude, what you have been through,

00:46:18.100 probably in the top five of the worst of

00:46:21.160 what they've dragged you through.

00:46:22.200 So you're a warrior.

00:46:23.160 Thank you, brother, for coming on here.

00:46:24.480 Thank you for being in the fight.

00:46:26.900 Appreciate it, brother.

00:46:27.600 Thank you.

00:46:29.240 I'd like the guys on our side of the

00:46:30.580 football, the men and women.

00:46:32.340 This is all in our hands.

00:46:33.600 We will be victorious if we don't quit.

00:46:39.680 Isn't that the lesson that MAG has

00:46:41.320 learned?

00:46:42.460 If we refuse to stop, we'll eventually

00:46:45.220 win.

00:46:46.680 Short commercial break.

00:46:47.780 Back in a moment.

00:46:48.300 We will fight till they're all gone.

00:46:53.280 We rejoice when there's no more.

00:46:55.200 Let's take down the CCP.

00:46:59.300 This July, there is a global summit of

00:47:01.800 BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the

00:47:04.360 block of emerging superpowers, including

00:47:06.860 China, Russia, India and Persia, are 0.98

00:47:10.060 meeting with the goal of displacing the

00:47:12.260 United States dollar as the global

00:47:14.140 currency.

00:47:15.360 They're calling this the Rio reset.

00:47:18.200 As BRICS nations push forward with

00:47:20.040 their plans, global demand for U.S.

00:47:21.840 dollars will decrease, bringing down the

00:47:23.920 value of the dollar in your savings.

00:47:26.480 While this transition won't not happen

00:47:28.780 overnight, but trust me, it's going to

00:47:31.280 start in Rio.

00:47:32.880 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal

00:47:35.380 moment when BRICS objectives move

00:47:37.660 decisively from a theoretical possibility

00:47:40.420 towards an inevitable reality.

00:47:44.300 Learn if diversifying your savings into

00:47:47.020 gold is right for you.

00:48:30.800 isn't getting enough attention.

00:48:32.360 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds 1.00

00:48:34.880 of thousands of acres of U.S.

00:48:36.920 farmland.

00:48:38.140 They're also taking control over critical

00:48:40.260 supply chains, things like fertilizer,

00:48:42.800 animal feed, and farming equipment.

00:48:44.820 Why?

00:48:45.660 It's not clear.

00:48:47.380 They're tightening their grip on global

00:48:49.180 food production.

00:48:50.840 That is clear.

00:48:52.620 And if things go south and it could happen

00:53:08.800 This is the age of Trump.

00:53:11.540 Check it out today.

00:53:13.440 Natalie Dominguez.

00:53:15.420 The $1 million triple lock protection,

00:53:18.720 I can tell you the Warren Posse digs.

00:53:20.680 What do you got for us, ma'am?

00:53:22.860 All right.

00:53:23.620 So I thought that today was actually going to be an update

00:53:26.220 from our prior story that we'd covered.

00:53:28.100 However,

00:53:28.800 this is the second time,

00:53:30.800 at least being covered by mainstream media,

00:53:32.640 that now we've seen someone's house bulldozed due to deed fraud.

00:53:36.120 So the Kelly family in Houston are demanding criminal charges

00:53:38.840 be brought against a man named Jerry Gurley.

00:53:41.080 And the notary who'd been accused of forging all six of these sibling signatures,

00:53:46.180 stealing their family home and leaving their lives in ruin.

00:53:49.740 So back in 2017,

00:53:51.360 six grandchildren inherited their late father and late grandfather's home

00:53:54.860 that had been in the family since the 60s.

00:53:57.360 Two years later,

00:53:58.660 this guy Gurley had actually approached them to buy the home and they had rejected it.

00:54:03.400 He then proceeded to forge their signatures,

00:54:05.600 all six of them,

00:54:06.540 file it with the county,

00:54:07.440 and then went on to sell the home to a third party with the help of a fishy title company.

00:54:13.300 The third party ended up bulldozing the home,

00:54:15.820 destroying decades of family photos,

00:54:18.000 home videos,

00:54:18.820 irreplaceable heirlooms,

00:54:20.180 and the family was just destroyed.

00:54:22.820 So flash forward now,

00:54:24.380 another four years into 2023,

00:54:26.160 the aftermath of that investigation prompted Harris County attorney's office

00:54:31.800 to open an additional investigation into the title company that sold to the third party

00:54:36.480 because they had allegedly,

00:54:38.020 we have to always say allegedly,

00:54:39.820 repeatedly defrauded community members in the Houston area.

00:54:43.960 And then earlier this year,

00:54:45.340 the Kelly family was able to reach a civil settlement with Gurley,

00:54:48.960 in which he was ordered to pay them $200,000.

00:54:52.820 But as of last week,

00:54:53.940 when this report came in,

00:54:55.700 nothing has been paid.

00:54:57.060 And with all this interest and fees,

00:54:58.540 it's now up to almost $300,000.

00:55:01.160 So the family gets their home bulldozed,

00:55:03.480 and then now can't get a single cent back from this guy within the last,

00:55:07.300 what,

00:55:07.540 six months to almost a year.

00:55:09.580 And the crazy part is,

00:55:10.960 this guy allegedly has several other judgments against him in other similar cases.

00:55:15.920 And the family's just stuck there wondering,

00:55:17.880 why is he being held criminally accountable?

00:55:20.180 And I think the attorney,

00:55:21.540 their attorney said it best,

00:55:22.520 this guy should be in jail.

00:55:23.380 You brought up a term though,

00:55:25.540 we brought up a term you need to define.

00:55:27.500 Give me 60 seconds on shady title company,

00:55:30.700 because they're part of the problems too,

00:55:32.080 ma'am,

00:55:32.300 right?

00:55:33.300 No,

00:55:33.680 absolutely.

00:55:34.400 We're seeing this more and more.

00:55:35.520 All these criminals,

00:55:36.720 there are all these back-end syndicates of people,

00:55:39.000 with knowledge of the process.

00:55:40.820 And then they're getting away with it for years.

00:55:42.420 A lawyer recently in New York had been doing this for 10 years,

00:55:45.320 11 properties.

00:55:46.980 Matt Cox,

00:55:47.540 who you guys have had on,

00:55:48.540 former criminal,

00:55:49.300 works with us,

00:55:49.900 public advocate.

00:55:50.920 He started out as a mortgage broker.

00:55:53.100 It's all these people with knowledge of this crime that are leveraging these homeowners.

00:55:58.640 It's very,

00:55:59.080 very sad.

00:55:59.840 So we just say,

00:56:00.600 monitor your property,

00:56:01.360 your information's out there.

00:56:03.140 Make sure you have a team of experts on your side to get through everything before you get to this point,

00:56:07.680 right?

00:56:07.860 Before your house ends up bulldozed because it's been sold to another company.

00:56:11.180 And then you can't get your money back and can't get your house back.

00:56:14.440 It's just,
