Texas Underwater

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner Country. Okay, my friends, Jam and I
mean Jam packed show for you today. Look, the last
time you and I spoke, the last time the Cooner
Man was on the air, was Thursday morning, just you know,
a day before July fourth Independence Day. And so much

(00:23):
has happened now in the last three and a half days.
And what I really was hoping to lead with was
the historic passage of the big beautiful bill the Republicans
delivered in the House. Trump signed it into law on Friday,
actually five pm at the White House. Is now his

(00:46):
signature legislative achievement, and I am going to discuss it
because it now has profound ramifications for him his presidency,
but more importantly for the country. And frankly, this was
going to be a festive Monday, kind of a party Monday,

(01:06):
because what's in the bill and how the Republicans are
able to coalesce together and against immense odds, get it
passed is truly a remarkable achievement. But then tragedy struck.
And it struck on two levels. One was the actual

(01:27):
tragedy itself, which is the almost biblical, really seriously biblical
flash floods that have now devastated Central Texas, but then
even more and I don't know the first one, we
can somehow take care of the second one. This is

(01:47):
a cancer. This is a cancer, my friends, I'm telling
you on our country, and I really, honestly at this
point don't know how we can stop it or how
we can resolve it. We can try to contain it
like cancer, we can try to excize it, we can
try to apply radioactive chemotherapy. But this is a cancer,

(02:08):
make no mistake about it. And that is the disgusting, sickening, revolting, honestly,
practically diabolical response of the Democrats to what has been
happening in Texas over the last three and a half
days is, as one person at Red State put it,
they are now becoming Democrats are now becoming evil ghules,

(02:32):
ghules for what they're saying about Trump and what they're
saying now about what befell the people of Texas. So,
my friends, this is now what has happened. It has
been absolutely heartbreaking. There is no other word to use.
Beginning early Friday morning, late Thursday evening, early Friday morning,

(02:54):
in the area of Caerville, Texas, which is basically in
central Texas people like all across the country. Hell I
was doing the same thing, getting ready with their families,
with their with their children to celebrate the Fourth of
July weekend. And so in that part of Texas, and

(03:15):
it's a beautiful part of Texas, a lot of people own,
you know, summer cabins, a second home, a small little cottage.
Nearby is a Guadaloupe River, which is known for some
phenomenal kayaking, fishing, camping outdoors, and so families, parents, children

(03:40):
Thursday night went packed that area in central Texas near
Guadaloupe River. There is also a private summer camp, a
Christian summer camp, an all girls camp right nearby called
Camp Mystic. Or some flash flood warnings late Thursday afternoon

(04:06):
into early Friday, sorry, into early Thursday evening. However, it
was not predicted to be in that specific area. Now
this is very important because the Left is again lying
and politicizing about this. So there were flood warnings, flash floods,

(04:30):
but not for Caerville, not for that particular area. They
thought they were gonna be spared the worst of it.
In other words, we're gonna get some bad thunderstorms. It's
gonna be a little wet, a little soggy, a little
bit rainy. But hey, it'll pass and they'll still have
a nice, beautiful weekend with the kids and the family.
But then that massive storm suddenly stalled right there around

(04:57):
that Caerville area, right near Guadalupe River.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It didn't move.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Forecasts thought it would just keep moving. It didn't move.
Whether it's unpredictable, you think it's gonna move and then
it just stops. In this case, it's stalled. And then
it was like the heavens opened up. It's something out
of Noah's Ark. I'm not kidding. They began to hear.

(05:22):
By one o'clock in the morning. The only words they
keep saying, over and over again, pounding rain. Rain fell
so hard they thought it was like bolts of lightning
or rocks or debris falling upon their cabins or upon
their homes. Massive thunder and lightning. By three three point

(05:48):
thirty in the morning, we're now into Friday morning. From
Thursday into Friday, residents began to see water from the
Guadaloupe River going up thirty feet thirty five feet forty
feet their cabins. They began to see water seeping into

(06:09):
their cabins. Now, what is remarkable about this is that
many of the cabins, many of the homes, are uphill,
not downhill. Uphill. That's why they were so shocked and
taken aback. The water was coming in so strong, The
flooding was so strong. The current was so strong. It

(06:33):
literally went up a hill. It was going uphills. They
began to hear cabins literally being ripped from their foundations
and the people in them being carried away to their
certain death. Homes were smashed and swept away, cars physically

(06:59):
swept away, entire trees swept away, bodies swept away. The
most heartbreaking of all, And this is the one that
I got to tell you. I've been thinking about all weekend.
It has bothered me and Grace so much. You have
no idea. I can now barely look at the images.

(07:20):
I have a hard time even reading the stories. And
if you sense emotion in my voice, I apologize because
I think of my two kids. Eva is twelve, Ashton
is fifteen. Those are literally the ages. In fact, many
of them are even younger, who are now either confirmed

(07:42):
dead or many are missing and presumed dead. It hit
camt Mystic, dozens of children seven years old, eight years old,
nine years old. This is summer camp. This is supposed

(08:03):
to be one of the happiest moments in their life,
one of the happiest times in their lives. Are now gone.
Counselors gone, coaches and their wives gone. So far, eighty
one people are dead confirmed dead, but hundreds more are

(08:27):
missing now by the grace of God through unbelievable acts
of heroism and courage. And there's one in particular. It
is just I'm going to talk about it a bit later.
It is a father who went on a kayak and
he managed to rescue three families, but he couldn't save

(08:50):
his two young daughters. The Harbor family Brooke, aged thirteen,
and the other a Blair the age eleven. Dead. He
lost his parents as well the kid's grandparents. He and

(09:10):
his wife were in one cabin, their children and their parents.
The grandparents with their grandkids were in a separate cabin.
He and his wife managed to survive his two young daughters,
and his father and mother didn't. They were swept away.

(09:31):
And yet as he desperately tried to save people, he
saved three families, but he wasn't able to save his
two young girls, and of course his mother and his dad.
And these are the kinds of stories that we're seeing
now all over Central Texas. There have been heroic rescue

(09:53):
and recovery operations taking place, local, state, federal. President Trump
is monitoring the situation extremely closely. He has now signed
a major He has declared that whole Caravel area a
major disaster zone. Massive federal funding and resources are now

(10:14):
being directed. The full weight of the federal government is
now bearing down on that region. They have rescued about
one hundred and sixty five, almost one hundred and seventy lives,
but there are still many dead and many more missing.
There are at least fourteen more children from Camp Mystic

(10:36):
still missing, and people are now hoping against hope that
they can find at least one or two survivors. Six one,
seven two, six, six, sixty eight, sixty eight is the number. Okay,
So you have these historic floods, flash flooding in Central Texas.

(10:57):
The bodies are not even You've got eighty one. I
think it's now eighty two confirmed dead, many adults, about
almost sixty of them adults, twenty three of them children.
Dozens more children missing, dozens more adults missing, desperate search

(11:20):
and rescue operations, Homes swept away cabins, swept away cars, branches, trees,
you name it. Okay, it looks like Noah's Ark. It
is the the basin of the Guadaloupe River literally overflowed.

(11:41):
You've got entire communities wiped out. Texas is hurting, Texas
is crying. And listen now to Department of Homeland Security
Secretary Christinome saying that the scale of this flash flooding

(12:02):
has now forced a response from the federal government. They
have now declared that whole area a disaster zone, a
major disaster zone, and they are sending in massive federal
aid and federal resources. Roll cut twenty Mike.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Thank you everyone for being here today, and I want
to thank Governor Abbott for his leadership and know that
President Trump is absolutely heartbroken by what has happened here
in Texas and the loss of life is absolutely devastating
to him and Milania. This morning, I talked with him
several times, and he wanted to make sure that all

(12:44):
of you know how much he loves Texas, how much
he's grieving for your families that have lost someone, and
the beautiful children that we're still looking for and helping
to return to their families, and that he is absolutely
committed to using all the resources at the federal government
to help unify fans, families, rescue all those that were
still missing, and return those who maybe we will recover

(13:06):
back to their families as soon as possible, and that
we will be here walking alongside each other and helping
throughout this entire crisis.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
You can see the emotion or you can hear the
emotion on her voice. Apparently the governor is also Greg
Abbott is really heartbroken over this. Everybody that is You've
seen the pictures of the missing children, many of them
missing girls because it was an all girls private summer camp,
a Christian camp camp Mystic. Listen. Now, this is Texas

(13:41):
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. He goes on Fox News to
give an update about these massive flash floods in Texas
and he can barely speak. You can see he starts
to get choked up. The emotion just becomes to it
just begins to overcome him. Roll cut twenty one, Mike.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, the camp I can't miss. It is kind of
split into two sections, and the one section where the
where the younger children were is where most of those
missing persons came from in that area. I've got eight grandkids.
I'm I've been up all night. I've been up two nights.
Actually I couldn't sleep last night. The heartbreak. Governor Abbott

(14:27):
and I were there to about I guess I don't know.
Ten at eleven o'clock at night, I can't remember, but
we were there, and it's unspeakable. It's just there's no
words that you can have for someone who loses a child.
And you know, we've had our disasters in Texas, and
we've had our times of loss in Texas and major disasters,

(14:49):
but the focus on the children here has been I think,
which touches everyone's heart and it just makes you want
to hug every parent. You don't have words to say.
This is where you have to rely on the word
of God. You have to stand on the foundation of
your faith.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I agree, No, I completely agree. Not like this, and
he's right. There were essentially two compounds, however you want
to call it. They were split up. You know how
summer camps are. You have some older kids and you
have younger kids, and it was the younger kids those seven, eight, nine,
years old that were closer to the basin of the

(15:25):
Guadaloupe River. Now they're starting to find some of these
kids obviously dead a dozen miles away from where the
camp was, a dozen twelve miles away. That's how powerful
the current and the flash flooding was. Okay, now, in

(15:46):
the midst of all of this, in the midst of
all of this, and this is now I'm sorry, but
this is now the second tragedy. First, people were stunned
by Saturday as the country came to grips over the

(16:06):
depth of the tragedy, the depth of the loss, the
depth of the suffering, with parents openly weeping, and law
enforcement and political officials and you name it, even reporters
overcome with emotion at the sight of the bodies that
they were discovering everywhere. Millions and I mean literally millions

(16:32):
of Liberals and Democrats began to take to x to
social media, and they began to blame Donald Trump for
what happened in Texas, that Trump was to blame. Why
was Trump to blame? Well, it started with Texas deserves

(16:56):
this one after another after another, that because Texas voted
for Donald Trump, because Texas voted for a conservative Republican
like Greg Abbott, because Texas is a red state and
many ways the cradle of the maga Republican majority, that

(17:22):
they deserved to be smacked down by nature, by God,
if you believe in God, and that, as they said,
karma was a bee. What comes around goes around, and
so literally it was post after post after post. I'm
not crying, I'm laughing. I'm not crying. I'm celebrating. Woo hoo,

(17:46):
I help more kids die. Woo hoo. I hope more
Texans die. They deserve it. They voted for Trump, this
is what you get. Then they began to attack and
blame him. Listen to this. Not climate change. No, no, no, no,
not climate change. For the first time, they didn't touch

(18:07):
climate change. They then smeared him, saying it was.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
The Doge cuts because they had cut the staff at
the National Weather Service that then warnings that were supposed
to have been given earlier were not.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
And by not giving out these warnings earlier, because of
these supposed staff cuts at the National Weather Service, Trump
now had the blood of dead children on his hands.
And this is now what the lying fake news media
has been running with for the last forty eight hours.

(18:51):
The bodies aren't even cold, Okay, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick
is not one hundred year, thousand percent correct. The what
you're seeing now, the devastation, the flash floods, the loss
of life, especially all of the very young children, it's unspeakable.

(19:15):
But the reaction from so many Liberals, so many Democrats,
honestly in many ways, is just as unspeakable. It is evil.
There's no other word. It's evil. I'm sorry. So millions
of them took to social media literally dancing on the
graves of these dead kids, saying that Texas deserved it

(19:40):
for having voted for Trump, having voted for Governor Greg Abbott.
But then they began to find the culprit in particular,
and that was the evil Orange Man, Donald Trump, and
the media began to pick it up as well, and
now it is they are attacking Trump. I've never seen

(20:01):
anything like this. Here. You have a flash flood of
literally practically biblical proportions. As they're still trying to rescue
missing children, with parents praying, hoping, desperately clinging to any
kind of hope that their loved ones can still be

(20:22):
found or rescued, and they're trying to blame Trump for
what happened. Not climate change this time. No, no, no, no,
Now it's the bad Orange man. It's the Donald and
the line of attack is doge. He cut every he

(20:42):
cut the National Leather Service. There wasn't enough staff members
to give them the warnings ahead of time. And so
they say, because of this, people weren't able to get
out to avoid the floods. They weren't able to be
evacuated in time. And that's why we have eighty two dead,

(21:07):
dozens dozens more missing, including about at least the two
dozen more children. And it's all at the feet of
Donald Trump. And I could give you clip after clip.
Let me just play one. Listen now, this is George
Stephie Stephanopolis yesterday on ABC This Week World Cut twenty

(21:33):
two Mike Area. We're also learning that there were significant
staffing shortfalls the National Weather Services offices in.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
The region, you know, George. As of right now, the
local county officials really didn't want to address that just yet,
but they are telling us is they expected between four
and six inches of rain. That is what weather experts
told them. The National Weather Service as well. They also
knew that in remote locations they might get anywhere for
eight to ten inches, but this amount of rate in

(22:02):
such a short amount of time, it was very difficult
to navigate. And when the Department of Homeland Security secretary
was here just yesterday, she acknowledged this was an issue.
She was going to take these concerns to the White
House as well and try and see if there was
anything they could do to revamp the system. She says,
the President is committed to it, right.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Thanks very much. He's a scumbag. I'm telling you, this
guy's a scumbag.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
They don't get worse than this guy. So, by the way,
he got sued for a libeling Trump, slandering Trump as
a rapist over the Egene Carol civil case, and that
costs they be sing you sixteen million dollars. Well, you
know what, Sue him again, Sue him again, and every
other media outlet that claims that Trump cut the Weather

(22:52):
Service which led to these apparently children and families being killed,
because here's the fact. Okay, they had extra staff at
the National Weather Service in Houston, in San Antone, all
across that area in Texas.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
The staff wasn't cut, staff was boost was beefed up
and boosted, they had additional staff.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's a lie. It's a disgusting lie. Now even then,
you know they had all this extra staff and it
didn't prevent it. Why because they were predicting flash flooding, Yes,
but not in that area. Because the how many times

(23:43):
are weather people wrong? Because it's not an exact science.
Because weather patterns, storms, they're volatile. They don't it looks well,
it looks like they're trending in one direction. It looks
like they're heading south or southeast or northwest or whatever.
And then suddenly they change the pattern changes, so they're unpredictable.

(24:06):
And so according to them, they thought, no carevill that
whole area. They may get a couple of inches, but
they're not gonna be pounded. But suddenly the storm system stopped,
stalled as they put it, and it just stayed and
then it just kept raining and raining and raining and
raining and raining and raining, and before you know what,

(24:27):
you had flash flooding. So what now, Trump is God like?
Instead of blaming God, you're gonna blame Trump, you idiots.
And then they're so desperate. And this is why, because
he passed a big, beautiful bill, he's on a roll.
Now everybody can see it. The stock market, all time high,

(24:49):
unemployment four point one percent. Remember everybody kept saying the
stock market's gonna crash, the economy that's going under No,
just the office. Now the economy is going to surge.
Tax cuts are kicking in. Most of his promises from
the campaign trail have now been codified into law. Huge

(25:13):
victory on Friday. The stock market all time high, all
time high, unemployment now near four percent, Inflation is now
finally cooling off. You've got the big win over Iran,
destroying all of their nuclear enrichment facilities. He made peace

(25:37):
deals between Rwanda and Congo, Serbia and Kosovo, India and Pakistan.
Just over the weekend, a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza.
NATO now every single member outside outside of the socialist
government in Spain five percent of GDP five percent now

(26:01):
will go to military spending, infusing NATO with an extra
trillion dollars. I could go on and on and on.
University of Pennsylvania, I don't know if you heard about this.
They literally caved and capitulated to Trump. Leah Thomas has

(26:22):
to give up all of the medals to Riley Gaines
and others. University of Pennsylvania will not allow men biological
men to compete in female sports. Another victory for Trump.
My point being he is on such a role right now.
It is almost unprecedented, the number of victories that he

(26:46):
has been rocking up. And so what do these pathetic
democrats and their media collaborators, they're cheap propagandists a la
Stephie Stephanopolis. What are they have left? He cot Howe
the service, that's why they're dying In Texas, they added

(27:12):
extra staff. They were not understaffed, they were almost overstaffed.
Weather is unpredictable now if you're looking for anyone to
blame politically, it's been over ten years a decade that

(27:34):
people in that whole area in central Texas said, we
need a better warning system, a better siren system in case,
because they've had a history of flash floods to warn people,
give them more advanced time. But that was bogged down
by local paralysis, local incompetence, local and state officials. It

(28:00):
has nothing to do with Donald Trump. But this is
not stopping the left. And I want to ask you, really,
how evil and depraved, how sick do you have to
be six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty
eight is the number. Okay, I just want to play
one more cut. I promised that I want to go

(28:22):
to the blazing phone lines six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight. It's not just Democrats, it's
not just liberals that are blaming Trump for the flash
flooding in Texas, and many of them in a very sick, twisted,
perverse way, cheering on what happened, saying that Texas deserves it.

(28:44):
These children deserve it, Everyone there deserves it because Texas
dared to be a red s dares to be a
red state, and dare to vote for Trump. In twenty
twenty four, Hollywood celebrities are now also jumping on the
blaming Trump for what is happening now in Texas. Listen,

(29:07):
just to give you an example, she's in exile. She
left the country. She's so disgusted with the country now
that Trump is president. Rosie O'Donnell, who's now in Ireland,
I have to say on this latest video that she's released,
don't quote me. I think she's sixty two or sixty three, whatever,
she's in her early sixties. I believe I'm telling you,

(29:30):
she looks eighty five ninety. This anti Trump hatred, it's
eating her up. I'm telling you, it's really wearing her down. Anyway.
Here she is listen to it in your own words,
in her own words, forgive me, listen to it in

(29:51):
her own words. And this is just an example of
what you're seeing on social media, what you're seeing among
many demo and what you're seeing in Hollywood. Roll cut
twenty five, Mike.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
What a horror story in Texas? The flash floods in Texas,
the Guadalupe River, fifty one missing, fifty one dead, more
missing children at a camp. And you know, when the
president cuts all of the early warning systems and the
weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results
that we're going to start to see on a daily

(30:26):
basis because he's put this country in so much danger
by his horrible, horrible decisions and this ridiculously immoral bill
that he just signed into law as Republicans cheered, as
Republicans cheered, people will die as a result, and they've
started already. Shame on him, Chame on every GOP sink
evan who's listening and following the disastrous decisions of this

(30:49):
mentally incapacitated botus hard to believe.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Despite this is the same woman that cheered on Biden
mentally incapacitated again. Yeah, whatever you say, have another, Okay,
go ahead, have another, have another. So again that's and
now they're just pushing this it now it doesn't matter,
truth doesn't matter now now it's they're running wild within

(31:14):
on social media. The media is just mindlessly parroting. He
cut the earlier warnings just him. He made cuts to
the weather service. That's why these kids are dying. Now
they're even claiming it's the Big Beautiful Bill, the big
beautiful Bill passed on Friday, Well, it passed on Thursday,

(31:37):
was signed into law on Friday at five o'clock Eastern.
Seven hours later in Texas, the torrential rains began to fall.
So you're gonna tell me that the big that the
Big Beautiful Bill within seven hours laid off so many

(31:57):
people that by seven hours lay I'm sorry either you'll
laugh for your cry, you know, laid off so many
people that there was no warning system, there was nothing.
She's mentally ill. That's what I mean. This is Trump
derangement syndrome. To such an extent and such a degree

(32:19):
that is so disconnected from reality that this woman really
needs mental help. She's a mentally ill woman, like so
many of these liberals and democrats. This is what happens
when you are consumed with hatred. This is what happens
to you. It eats away at your soul, It eats

(32:40):
away at your brain, It eats a way at your
ability to reason, to even view reality. It distorts your
whole view of the world. And the fact that they
had more staff, additional staff, that there were all kinds
of floodwatchs, warnings. Given that that doesn't matter. The truth

(33:04):
no longer matters. Now, it's blame Trump. Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number.
To me, I can't think of anything more revolting, more
stomach turning, honestly, more immoral, more diabolical than to politicize

(33:28):
the deaths of young children, to lie about the deaths
of young children, and to do this even while some
of them may be alive, desperately hoping, desperately clinging to
life and that someone will rescue them. To me, that's

(33:50):
the second tragedy here. The first is obviously the disaster itself.
But the second is this simple, sickening, evil response by
the left to the tragedy in Texas. And so my
question to you six one seven two six six sixty

(34:12):
eight sixty eight what do you make of the disastrous
flash floods in Texas? What do you make of the
fact that so many of the victims are children? And
what do you make above all that the media and
the Democrats are lying, propagandizing, deliberately politicizing what has happened

(34:38):
in Texas and trying to blame Trump. Will it work?
And have they finally crossed the line when you start
politicizing the dead bodies of seven eight year old kids?

(34:59):
My god, can you get any lower? Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight lines are on fire.
Let's go to Bob in the Great state of Montana.
You're gonna kick us off. Bob, thanks for holding and welcome.

Speaker 8 (35:18):
Hey, chef, this is Rob. We got Rob.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
My bad. I'm sorry I had Bob on the board.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
Go ahead, Rob, I'm only going to be able to
make it through this a little bits. As the father
of one daughter, I want to say to those of
you liberals, comedies who are celebrating this and twisting this

(35:46):
to your own advantage. You know, God, the God you
don't believe in, is watching. The God you don't believe
in will hold you accountable. For you to exploit this
horror for your own advantage is beyond obscene, It is

(36:09):
beyond disgusting. You will be held accountable. And if that
doesn't concern you, and if that doesn't scare you, you
deserve to go to where I know you're going. And

(36:30):
I'm sorry, Jeff, I can't. I can't stay for a
follow up.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's so enraging, it's so infuriating. I'm with you. I
couldn't believe it. Look, you have a lot of nuts
in this country. That's fine. And you know social media,
they flock, you know, they flock to social media. I
get that, okay, Like you know, these haters that listen
to the showy they just stick to you like a
cheap suit every day, every day, every day with their hate.

(37:00):
I get it. But we're not talking about five here,
ten there, twenty year. These are millions and millions and
millions and millions. And when you start celebrating the deaths
of innocent young children again, many of them girls, you're

(37:21):
a sick puppy like really, you're a sick puppy like you.
I'm sorry, Where is your soul? Where's your your basic humanity?
Six one seven two six six And by the way,
Trump is the monster. Look at your That's why I
always tell Bill and Sudbury, look at yourself in the mirror.

(37:43):
Maybe one day you're gonna wake up and say, I
don't like what I see. I don't like what I see.
I'm gonna change, you know, Or I say it's to FRANKN.
Gloucester or the other comm me Chris, and Gloucester call
me Chris as I call him. Maybe you should see
people as people instead of through an ideological lens. These

(38:09):
were God's children, were all God's children. But these were
God's children that were taken away from their parents, from
their siblings, from their grandparents way too soon, way too soon,
and that you're celebrating their deaths saying they deserve it

(38:32):
because the state they live in voted for Donald Trump.
From my God, Seriously, My God six one seven, two
six six sixty eight sixty eight. Dave, our Western PA
constitutionalist correspondent. Thanks for holding Dave, and.

Speaker 9 (38:54):
Welcome stage, Jeff for somebody.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
How very good I mean outside of it is, obviously,
but I'm very RESTful, had a wonderful cookout on the fourth,
spent time with the kids. My wife won the family
honestly at a very nice Fourth of July. Thank you
for asking, Dave. I truly appreciate it. My friend, I
got to ask you. I know you're a god fearing man.

(39:20):
I know you're a good man. What do you make
of what happened in Texas and how the media and
the liberals are trying to blame Trump?

Speaker 9 (39:28):
What say you, Well, some that happened, Jeff, you know,
with some that could have been prevented, I'm surprising, and
blame global wanting, Jeff. You know they believe in blaming
inanimate objects for stupid stuff. But I'm Jeff. I just
want to keep the people in textes and my prayers,
and I want to thank God for giving me the
fireworks to remove the groundhog that was digging onto my

(39:51):
property in Pittsburgh. So I used fireworks. I didn't harm them.
I used one of those mortars. Iund like Massachusetts, we
can use fireworks. They would celebrate and put it this way,
I think you mean across the Street pretty fast, Jeff.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
So you got that nuisence out of your house. Huh.

Speaker 8 (40:08):
I sure did, buddy.

Speaker 9 (40:09):
I was in like Dough Murray trying to blow them
up in taddy check. But anyways, Jeff, I want to
praise President Trump and the Conservatives that passed this bill.
He needed to be passed. Now, Jeff, what needs to
happen now is that they need to cardify these executive orders,
and then they need to cardify of the doage cuts,
and then we need to start paying down this debt.

(40:30):
Ran Paul wasn't wrong for principally doing what he did.
He just needed to vote for the bill so we
can addrust the issue after this bill, because in reconciliation
in the Senate, Jeff, people that don't follow the news
like you and me and understand the constitution. The liberals
believe in the constellation.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Well, yeah, you're right. Look, Dave, there's still a lot
on President Trump's plate he's got to deal with. I
agree with you reigning in the debt, spending, codifying the
doage cuts, and a lot of his executive orders. But
I got to tell you, I've never seen a president
on a roll the way he's been in the last
two weeks. It has been one of the most sick, consequential,

(41:11):
impressive two weeks in American presidential history. And look, apparently
he's going to go down to Texas this Friday. He
doesn't want to go now, he said, because he doesn't
want to interrupt or get in the way of the
rescue and recovery operations. And he's right, but he will
go down there on Friday and survey the damage, take

(41:33):
a look at it, and he's going to give a
lot of federal help and a lot of federal relief.
And honestly, all we can do at this point is pray,
pray that some of these children are saved, rescued, because
I could just only imagine that could be my children,
that could be your children. So Dave, honestly, it's heartbreaking.

(41:54):
There's just no other way to put it. It really
is heartbreaking. Dave, thank you very much for that call.
Six one seven two sixty six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Russ in Bedford. Thanks for holding Ross
and welcome. Who Hi Russ. Go ahead, you're on the air.

(42:16):
This is Rush for Russ in Boston. How did I
get Bedford up there? Mike. Okay, my apologies. This is
Russ in Boston. For whatever reason, I have Bedford. My apologies, Russ. Please,
the floor is.

Speaker 10 (42:32):
Yours problem, Jeff, what do you expect from the Democratic
Communist Party? Communists step no moral compass, no compassion, no
God in their life. Lots of life means nothing to them.
All they care about is to play the filthy, rotten
game of politics. And I hate the rotten game of politics.

(42:56):
And Jeff, I'll tell you I could not turn on
the news. I couldn't take it. I tried to make
it as a patriotic day as I could because I'll
say to me, there was so much to celebrate this
fourth of July. It's just just unbelievable list of things
to celebrate. Anyways, I had friends of mine visiting from Brampton,
which is a city outside of Toronto. So anyways, I

(43:17):
set the stage and the first thing I did was
I played the Canadian national anthem as they quit a
Burwins game. And then I played patriotic American songs. And
I have to mention two songs that mean a lot
to me. Okay, the first one is where the Stars
and Stripes and the Eagle Fi and it's by Aaron
Tippin and the other one is American Soldier by Toby Keith. Now, Jeff,

(43:40):
this is the most fantastic video I've ever seen in
my life. Is fabaly showing emotions. And I'll just give
you a little brief But first of all, it starts
off him and his wife. He's a soldier. He's getting
a call early in the morning that he's being deployed,
and both him and his wife look at each other
and you know what's going to their mind. The way

(44:00):
to the base, they drive by a cemetery and you
know what's in their mind, and then the next thing,
you know, they embrace. Okay. Then the father is getting
on a transport plane and he's leaving for war and
he has a son. I'd say maybe he's five years old,
and the kid's brave because you know what he told him,
the son, You're now the man of the house. You've

(44:22):
got to be a man, You've got to be strong.
And the facial expression on these people says it all, Jeff.
They don't have to say it would It's just a
facial expression. And I'll tell you with alsince theorty. Okay,
I cannot watch this video about tears come in my
eyes because what you see is the emotional side of
a soldier going to war, and that's the part that
many people don't think about, the toll and the families

(44:46):
when the soldier goes to war.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Russ. I'm so happy that you mentioned that because Ashton
loves that song. I mean I like it too, Don't
get me wrong, but Ashton loves that song. And so
when we did our cookout on the fourth on Friday,
he was playing music outside we were outside and enjoining
the cookout, and that's one of the songs that he
insisted that we listened to. And so I agree with you.

(45:13):
I think it's a beautiful uh, just an absolutely beautiful
moving song. I love the video as well. And look,
every fourth, I mean I do it every day, but
especially on the fourth, I really think about the men
and women who fought for our country, many of them
died for our country, and how they're always willing to

(45:36):
give their lives up for our freedoms and our liberties.
And to me, these are the greatest patriots and we
should be so immensely grateful for them and for all
of their heroism and sacrifice. And that's why to me,
the fourth of July, you know, outside of Easter and
outside of Christmas, to me, it's the most important holiday

(45:56):
of the year. Honestly, I love Thanksgiving, don't get me wrong,
but honestly, even more than Thanksgiving, the fourth of July,
after Easter and Christmas. To me, this is what America
is all about. And you know it's funny, Russ, You
and I think alike. I saw the images on Friday,
and I said, I just I can't, I just I can't.

(46:18):
I can't. I'm going to enjoy the fourth of July
and I'll get back to the news over the weekend.
And as I start to show prep and then news
just got worse and worse and worse. And you know, Russ, look,
we're getting so immune now to what the Democrats have
become that I'm telling you, even twenty years ago, this

(46:39):
would have been considered so unacceptable that they would now
openly celebrate and cheer the deaths of seven eight nine
year old children, little girls from Camp Mystic and say
you deserve it because voted red Texas voted Trump, or

(47:04):
that the media would go on and pushed this blatant
lie that he cut the National Weather Service, and that's
why they weren't able to give these warning signs when
in fact they had had additional staff, and they kept
talking about flood warnings and you know, and and and
there could be a danger of flash flooding. I mean it,

(47:28):
It's just it shows to me, really how depraved and evil.
There's no other word Democrats and the left have become.
Nothing is out of bounds, nothing is taboo, everything everything
is possible, and they will cross any line just to

(47:52):
score a cheap political point, you know. And you know,
there are parents who've lost their kids, there are grandparents
who've lost their kids. People are really there, their mourning
the loss of their closest family members. And they got
to hear that your child had it coming. Your child

(48:15):
deserved to die because maybe you even voted for for
Kamala who knows the voting patterns of these people, but
because your fellow citizens in Texas voted for the current
president of the United States, and then you deserve to die.
Your child deserves to die. These people are sick anyway.

(48:40):
Russ as always, thank you so much for that call.
As always, I really and for your service. Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. But I
swear to you, according to the Moonbats in this state,
I'm the extremist me. I'm serious. Chase me out of
the state. It's you can't make it up. Bob in Plymouth.

(49:04):
Thanks for holding Bob and welcome.

Speaker 6 (49:07):
Yeah, good morning, Jeff. I'm glad you had a nice holiday.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I did. That was wonderful weekend.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
It was tainted by this news. I couldn't watch the
news either after a while. It was too heartbreaking. But
you know, this, this act that the Democrats are putting on.
Not so long ago, it would have shocked me. Now
I expected they they have nothing to go on that

(49:34):
down and it dumps these people. And for them to
do this, it's beyond terrible. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Well, you know, I don't want to say this because
I don't like to vilify and demonize fellow citizens. I
really don't. That's more what liberals do to us. That's
what Bill and Sudbury does when he calls us all
Nazis and calls me a Nazi. But honestly, I'm starting

(50:03):
to question their basic humanity. I'm looking at them and
I'm like, I you know, there's something wrong with you.
How can you do this? There are just look to me,
life is simple. There are just some lines you don't cross,
and politicizing the dead bodies of children is one of them.

(50:25):
You just don't cross that line.
