  Speaker 1: He was hers Alex Garrett, all right, well, we're gonna
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: do one leg up on news tonight because I was
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: getting a little nervous that President Trump was not keeping
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: his eye fully on the horrible, tragic Texas flooding, but
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: at the same time he's talking about threats to Brazil
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: for fifty percent tariff and oh, by the way, thirty
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: five percent tariff against Canada. The fifty percent teriff against
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Brazil for the treatment of former president Bolsonaro is the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: second time Trump has intervened in international affairs. We need
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: President Trump to focus on America, not what Brazil's doing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with their ex president, not what Israel's doing with net
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and Yahoo. He needs to focus on the United States
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of America. He's a president of the United States of America,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: which is why I'm glad he finally visited after a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: few days Texas and said this to the reporters, after
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: surveying the awful damage, which is killed one hundred and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: twenty one, one hundred and seven plus and I would
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: say a lot of kids still missing and have died.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: He wanted a tearif Brazil fifty percent that was his
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: focus this week. I'm glad he shifted his focus to Texas.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Take a listen. It's hard to believe the devastation. Trees
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that are one hundred years old just ripped out of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the ground. I've never seen anything like it. I've seen
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of bed once, I've gone to a lot
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of hurricanes, a lot of tornadoes. I've never seen anything
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like this. Now, what I will say is Meghan Kelly
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and Chelsea Clinton got into it this week. But as
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: an outlet that wants to provide resources and feels strongly
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: about providing resources, I got to mention some of the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: resources Chelsea Clinton has mentioned over the last couple of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: days that are fighting to keep these people safe from
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the floods and help rescue efforts as well. Because Megan
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Kelly went off about the hosts that Chelsea Clinton did
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago about how they are members
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of the Clinton Global Initiative on the ground in Texas
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: supporting families, But then she listed a whole bunch of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: other resources, Airling Flight All Hands Hearts in Kirk County,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Red Cross, of course, America Cares deploying an emergency response
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: team to help restore access to health poor response, coordinating
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: closely with Texas VOAD and local and state partners to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: identify what families need most. CRF plus is connected with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: their partners on the ground, who was as the needs
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of local artists all so offering funding and resources to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: craft artists impacted by the flooding. Direct Relief committed fifty
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars to support the deployment of emergency medical supply
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and operating funds to impact the communities. And give directly,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: which is sending cash directly to tax to Texas flood survivors,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: give directly, and of course go fund Me and IMC worldwide.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, she listed a bunch of different resources that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I think are valuable in the long run to help
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: these families who have lost loved ones, who are still
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: struggling through the floods. And I understand that there have
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: been fights about these alert systems for days, but now
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's not the time for debating and know what to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: those who say the victims deserved it because they might
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: have voted maggot, because they might have shame on you, Chelsea.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Clinton's being better than that, and we got to recognize
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that she's offering resources, She's not putting blame on the victims.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So he's saying, let's get help on the ground now.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And what's President Trump doing? Yes, he went to Texas, ay,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but what's he been doing all week? He's been threatening tariffs,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He's been getting involved with international affairs. It don'tly even
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: impact our country. Who cares if Polson Arrow got treated
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like crap. Our state of Texas needs US right now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And he's there today. Okay, he went to Texas, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and imber mildly going. But the whole week he's been
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: talking about tariff threats to both Brazil and Canada, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: then of course the Epstein disaster with the closing of it,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: saying there's no files. I don't know what's going on there,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but there was no focus on what matter most for
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the President United States, which is which is what's happening
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in Texas right now. And I applaud Chelsea Clinton for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: listing all these resources which are being matched up to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars Team Mumbican Texts, dia Per Bank,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Resilient Texas Reliefs and Recovery Campaign, creating a fund to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: support those in need. There are real resources out there,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and maybe I'll take Chelsea's leading tag all these groups
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: because I want this pod to be a connector to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: be a hub, if you will, for resources when people
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: need it the most, to have help them have one
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: leg up through the floods. That's what we need, That's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what we need. I want to also shout out the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Texans and the NFL who have combined,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, in a statement earlier this week to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: donate one point five million dollars to provide immediate systems
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and long term resources to those most impacted by the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: catastrophic flooding. So to all those resources that I've been
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: talking about on this podcat cast that thanks to Chelsea Clinton,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thank you for stepping in. Thank you for not playing
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a blame game, even if you're a liberal organization and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not saying, oh, we won't help these people because they're
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Trump supporters. Remember when FEMA did that. Remember when FEMA
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: did that, they said, Hey, we're not going to help
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: these people because they're Trump supporters in North Carolina. It
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was awful. So thanks to all the resources that they're saying,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to step up for the people of Texas
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: no matter who they voted for. And I wish all
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of the Public Square would act like that right now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Not the blame game, not that they deserved it if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they voted for Trump. No, none of that. We need
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to have one leg up for Texas in this horrible,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: horrible situation. I feel like finally getting around to this
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is localthartic for me, because I've been wanting to talk
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: about this. I'm wondered about the resources needed to stabilize
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the region, to continue rescue efforts and to provide assistance.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know why Megan Kelly wanted to take her on,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: because I thought Chelsea Clinton did the right move sharing
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: all the different groups that are supporting those in need.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: That's what we need right now. Not blame game, not
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: who deserve what, simply places that are supporting and rescuing
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and providing in time of need to our brothers and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: sisters in Texas, to the kids in Texas. And they're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doing it without any kind of bias, it seems like,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and we should applaud that. So please, President Trump, cut
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the tariff nonsense for once. Focus on your country. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: don't care what Bolson Arrows got going on in uh
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in Brazil. I don't even care really what Nana was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: going through. I mean, it's quite something going on there
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with his trials, but I really care about that. No,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know why I care about what's going on in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: our country. I care about those that are hating America
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: right now. We need to fix that too, because the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: fabric of this country will be ripped apart and we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: let the haters prevail, we let the blamers prevail, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: we let the outside influence of what's going on in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Brazil and and Israel prevail over what we need in
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: our country right now. So if we could stop the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: tariff threats and the tariff talks and put that aside
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and put the focus on real Americans right now who
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: are in need, I think we'd be better off. That's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: how we'd have one leg up for those in need
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America. It's to shift focus
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: from what's going on with bolson Arrow, what's going on
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: with that Yahoo, and just focusing on what's going on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: right here in our country. Yes, President Trump, they voted
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: for you, that is true, which means you should be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: there even more than focusing on Bolsonaro and Nat Yahoo's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: trials and Canada's tariff war. What's happening in Texas is
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: taking present over tariffs, and we need to refocus that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: from here on out. And that's how I'll have one
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: leg up for America.
