Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's a horrible situation. That's Jeff's getting worse by the day.
The death toll is rising after last week's devastating floods
in central Texas. So far, more than one hundred and
twenty people have died, with most of the fatalities happening
in Kerr County. Officials there say at least one hundred
and three have died, including thirty six children. At least
(00:29):
one hundred and sixty people are still missing. President Trump
visited the area of Friday, saying he's never seen anything
like it. He also prays first responders and search crews
while dismissing concerns about flood alerts. President Trump is not
happy with questions about possible issues with warnings before the
floods hit Central Texas. While in Kerrville to survey the damage,
(00:52):
Trump was asked by a reporter about possible issues with
alerts getting out fast enough.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Only a bad person would have a question like that.
To be honest with you, I don't know who you are,
but only a very evil person would ask a question
like that. I think this has been heroism.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He added that it's easy to sit back and ask
about what could have been done differently. House Democrats are
expressing concerns about the government's preparedness for future flood disasters
and extreme weather events. Brian Shook has more.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Three House Democrats sent a letter to President Trump and
two officials involved in weather infrastructure, addressing their concerns and

services going forward. The letter comes as President Trump visited
Texas Friday to assess damage from the flooding. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 2 (01:43):

step down. Multiple reports say Dan Bongino has told people
he's thinking about resigning after clashing with US Attorney General
Pam Bondi over the Jeffrey Epstein files earlier this week.
The most stated there is no evidence that Epstein kept
a so called client list. I'm Jim Forbes.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
At least twenty five people have been hospitalized after a
mass overdose event in West Baltimore. Five people are in
critical condition. Mayor Brandon Scott says officials have not determined
the exact source of the overdoses and the incident remains
under investigation. One of the so called two men in
the Hillside strangler case that had Los Angeles on edge
(02:29):
in the nineteen seventies has lost his latest bid for parole.
Tammy Treheo reports.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Kenneth Bionki is now seventy four. He was denied parole
for another ten years. According to the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, Bianchi and Angelo Buono Junior carried out
the crimes for that sparked terror in the city in
late nineteen seventies seven and early seventy eight. The two
were also convicted of killing two college students in Washington State.
Both were sentenced to life in prison, with Bianchi serving
(02:56):
his time in a Washington State prison. Grono died in
prison in California in two thousand and two. I'm Tammaged
for Heo.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Mexican President Claudias Shinbaum says the US is overreacting to
the threat of a flesh eating cattle parasite. More from
Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Shanebaum told reporters that the US decision to close the
border again to Mexican cattle imports is overblown. She said
that decision was sparked by a single case of the
New World screwworm. The screwworm is a parasitic fly that
the US declared eliminated here in nineteen sixty six. New
cases in Mexico prompted a shutdown of kettle imports from
November to February and again in May. A court of
(03:34):
entry in Arizona was set to open Monday, but now
that's been put on hold. The US Department of Agriculture
has been working with Mexico to stop the insect. I'm
Mark Neefield.
