Speaker 2 (00:09):
So.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I'll tell you what. Ray Stage is one of the
best meteorolities in the country. He's great, he's always good,
he's trying. But one thing he does that drives me
crazy is he always leaves out the good news every
single time. He went through the whole week. Right he
just went through the whole week. You just heard him
talking about, you know, scattered showers. There's going to be storms,
(00:29):
a heat ends of over one hundred, humidity is going
to be unbearable, shower shower showers every single day. What
is the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow?
What is the best news in the forecast? Well, I'll
tell you Saturday and Sunday right now are going to
(00:50):
be You have to say this, it's got to give
people hope, keep hope alive. Saturday and Sunday are going
to beat right now in the forecast mostly sunny and
beautiful temperatures and low humidity.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Because that can change. There's so much going on right now.
Maybe we should talk to.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
This kind of power that if I say it, it's
gonna change. No, you're giving meant to give you too
much credit.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I don't want to give anyone false hope.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We're hoping, that's what. It's not false hope, it's what
it says in the forecast. Granted, forecasts change, but right
now the forecast is for a beautiful weekend and it's
I know it's already it's Tuesday. Things could change, but
but as of right now, that's something to hope for.
So why it helps people get through this as they're driving.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
None of the pores all weekend after they make plans
based on what you said.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know, people catch parts of what you say sometimes
just as bad as race stage of you too far out,
gotta be awful. No, we hope it's nice, but then
you show no, don't you tell me to shush. I'm
just passing it along.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
We're keeping hope alive. Okay, Wow, man, I'm trying. I'm
trying to give some hope. I'm trying to give something
nice to the people that are now depressed because of
that forecast. And what did the two of you do?
You gang up on me like every other woman in
my life. You gang up on me and say no, no, no, no,
(02:29):
don't you can't say that because it could be awful.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'm nervous. I have an outside party that I'm hosting
on Saturday, so I'm really hoping.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
No, I mean a lot of people have plans for
the weekend. That's why it's so exciting. That's why that's
why it's so exciting. Wow. In the Big Three, the
death toll from the Texas floods continues to rise.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
We now have over one hundred fatalities. It is amazing
that that that more girls that it can't mystic to
not dying that that morning, give it given the horrors.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, and there was an absolute hero at Camp Mystic
from New Jersey, and we're going to talk about him
coming up in just a couple of minutes. We'll talk
with ABC correspond to Jim Ryan as well, who is
covering the floods in Texas. The pressure continues in the
New York City's mayor's rays for one of the candidates
(03:21):
not named Mondami to drop out. Mayor Adams says Andrew
Cuomo had the nerve to call him and ask the
mayor to be the one to move aside, Andrew, are
you that level of arrogance?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I'm the city mayor, I'm the city mayor of the
City of New York. You expect for me the sepside
when you just lost to Johan by twelve points.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Political analyst J. C. Polanco will be with us at
seven point thirty five to talk about what might and
what should happen. April first is the New Dad countries
will be hit with high tyr of on United States
deals if a deal can't be reached, and Treasury Secretary
Scott Besson says, we are close.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
We are close to several deals. As as always, there's
a lot of foot dragging on the other side, and
you know, so I would expect to see several big
announcements over the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And Benjamin net Yahoo was at the White House and
a reporter asked him if he was concerned that Zorin
Mamdani says if he became mayor of New York he
would have the Israeli Prime minister arrested if he ever
came to the city.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
No, no, I'm not concerned about that.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I'll get.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
There's there's enough craziness in the world. But I guess
it never ends.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I mean, you have this is falling and it's you know,
it's it's silly and in the meantime, in Israel, talks
continue to try and reach a cease fire. Jordana Miller
will be here at eight or zero five with the
very latest on that. Ah wow, just horrible. What is
(05:09):
happening in Texas as they continue to find the bodies,
mostly of children at this point. And Camp Mystic is
the one that everybody's been talking about right now. What
you found out about this area is that it's one
of the most beautiful areas in all of Texas. In
central Texas around Kerrville, and there are over one hundred
(05:29):
camps near the river and into the forest and going
up the hills, and Camp Mystic is one of the
ones that everybody wants to get it get into. Camp
Mystic is one of the best of the camps. It's
because it's right on the river. But on this case
it's it was horrible to be there because of the
floods that came on quickly, and they had ceremonies, They
(05:52):
had a vigil there last night.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Sky to.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Tell me, these are kids from Camp Mystic, either that
were there or or have been there in the past.
Ted Cruz was there. I'll tell you what you know.
Ted Cruz. I'm not always the biggest fan of just
because he's so hard and he goes after people so
(06:22):
hard all the time, and you know, he's he sometimes
he's easy to dislike. Not in this case. He has
been amazing. He's been there the entire time. He's he's
you know, he's given, he's this is vacation time for him.
He's been there the entire time. He's been helping, he's
been counseling people, he's been trying to get aid. He
(06:43):
has been absolutely amazing. And what we found out, like
many people, many people they sent their kids the cruise
has sent their kids not to Camp Mystic, to one
of the camps in the area, because everybody apparently in
Texas sends their kids to camp somewhere in this area,
so everyone across the state can relate. And Natalie was
(07:07):
telling me a story just a moment ago that Laura
Bush went to Camp Mystic.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
She well, I heard that she was a counselor, which
I guess would make it seem that she was there
at some point, but I heard that she had been
a counselor there her daughter Laura No, I'm sorry, Yeah, Laura.
She was talking about it yesterday on NBC that okay.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, wow, that's that's just But it seems like everybody
in the state. Everybody in the state has some connection
to these camps, so it makes sense. But here's Senator
Ted Cruz.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
The president said, Ted, anything Texas needs, the answer is yes,
whatever assets you need, whatever resources you need, yes, let
us know and we will provide everything.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That's what he told to the people at Camp Mystic
that please, you know, your morning, I get that, but
all the other stuff, you know, don't worry about him.
And by the way, the daughter was Jenna Bush that
told her mom Laura that it it is just one
of the most emotional things that these parents and neighbors
(08:15):
can go through. And and most of them even when
they show up, even if they didn't have a daughter there,
and they just want to be part of this because everybody,
everybody is connected by this. It gets a little emotional.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
My heart breaks for the families.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I was like luxury. I mean, I think if it
was my grandkids, that's what I think about.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I don't know I would make it.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
No. I think the whole world feels like that there's
there is a hero in all this, and he is
from New Jersey. He is Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, who
was in charge of triage at Camp Mystic. So we
treated the girls until hellic and made them feel safe
(09:06):
and made them feel better until helicopters could come in.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Had about two hundred kids, mostly all scared, terrified, cold.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, that's what he got there, and then he ended
up saving one hundred and sixty five children.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
The real heroes, I think were too the kids on
the ground, Like those guys are heroic, and you know,
they were dealing with some of the worst times in
their lives and they were staying strong and that helped
inspire me to kind of get in there and help
them out.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And listen to this. That was his first mission, first
mission ever, first mission, and he's already being hailed as
a national hero. And he's the proud of Oxford, New Jersey,
which is right on the Pennsylvania border, as almost as
northwest as you can get in Jerseys. So we're really
proud of him and thank goodness he was there for
(09:52):
these kids. I'm gonna keep talking about this in the
next segment because in the search for missing children after
the Texas floods, there was a mirror goal. We'll have
that story next. Plus tickets to see the Steve Miller
Band at age twenty five and your talkbacks. Go to
the Ihart Radio app. Your time to leave one, you're
up next.
