  Speaker 1: President Trump and First Lady Milania landed in San Antonio
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on Air Force One, and then they flew to Kerrville, Texas,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: where the epicenter of the flooding took place, by helicopter.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: On Friday, they toured the flood impacted Hill Country area,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: an area that I know extremely well, an area that
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: my family spends a great deal of time there, where
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: so many people have lost their lives, especially those young children.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: There is still searching going on for the bodies. Trump
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: expressed sorrow for the lives loss, calling the event a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: horrible thing, and mourning young angels, especially the children from
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Camp Mystic. Milania also received a charm bracelet from the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: campers as a symbol of remembrance, which was gut wrenching.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Trump approved an expanded Major Disaster Declaration, extending federal aid
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to eight additional counties beyond Kerr County. He praised federal
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: personnel for responding as fast as anybody has ever seen.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: The administration officials also signaled to move away from plans
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to abolish FEMA. Instead, they're pursuing major reforms and rebranding,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: while emphasizing state led responses are number one. A REFEMA
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: review Council is said to deliver formal recommendations by November.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Local leaders, by the way.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Including the Kirk County officials, highlighted lapses in early warning
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: systems and mobile alert coverage. Such failures disproportionately affected areas
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: like Camp Mystic, where children didn't have cell phones. Trump
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: acknowledge the need for better warning systems and made it
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: clear it is something his administration is going to take on.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the President had to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: say in his own words as he was flanked by
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the governor of Texas as well as local officials and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the senators from Texas.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's hard to believe the devastation. Trees that are one
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: hundred years old just ripped out of the ground. I've
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: never seen anything like it. I've seen a lot of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: bad wines. I've gone to a lot of hurricanes, a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: lot of tornadoes. I've never seen a thing like this.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: There's a bad one we just visited with incredible families
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: that I mean, look, they've been devastated, they lost their
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: child or two children, and.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Just hard to believe what. I've never seen anything like it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: A little narrow river that becomes a monster, and that's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: what happened.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: But the first Lady and I are here.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: In Texas to express the love and support and the
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: anguish of our entire nation and the aftermath of this
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: really horrific and deadly flood. Nobody has any idea how
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and why a thing like this could happen. It's and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: by the way, I have to tell you the people here,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: first responders, the sheriff's office, all of the police, law enforcement,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: they've done an unbelievable job. And in speaking to the parents,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: they said, to everybody there's been so professional, from the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: governor to the senators, all the way down to the
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: local people on the site that really are a little
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: bit used to this. They've been looking at this for years,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but in much smaller doses, in a much much smaller doses.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Twelve years ago and then nineteen thirty two they had
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a real bad one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: But that bad one was half of what this was.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But I was speaking to some of the great people
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: in the town and they said, no, every year we
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: get a little bit, but it was like a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: bit of a flood, right, you were telling me, And
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it was just a flood. We get used to it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: We had people we took care of it, and this
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: year it was like what's going on?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So all across the country, American's hearts they shattered. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: had to be here as president. First lady wanted to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: be here, and all the beautiful souls, and we're filled
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: with grief and devastation. It is the loss of life.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately they're still looking. They're still looking. There's a
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: lot of missing children, possibly mostly we don't know. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they're still looking and they'll find everybody. But it's not
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: an easy thing. You would think it would be easy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It's very tough. I looked at what they're going through,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: what they have to do, but dozens and dozens of
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: precious children taken from us.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: With such right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I looked at the pictures of almost all of them,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and it's terrible. Following a torrential downpour, the worst that
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: anyone's ever seen, Guadalupe River rows twenty six feet and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: less than forty five minutes, and I've even heard it
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: when well over thirty feet.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: There's one sorry that one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Person said it had to be sixty feet.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: At one moment.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: This is like a giant, giant wave in the Pacific
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Ocean that the best surfa in the world would be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: afraid to surf and it at least stay catastrophic flooding
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: as the most most residents were asleep in their beds.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And very dark evening. The waters claimed at least one.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Hundred and thirty five one hundred and forty lives. They're
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: getting that count, but the count that they don't have
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: is how many are still missing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: With a lot of lives, a lot of young angels.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: At the girls Christian summer camp known as Camp Mystic,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Legendary Camp, a camp that people would want to go.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: To from all over the country.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: People parents, they come and they would.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Stay with their children.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: They'd stay in other cabins just to be with their children,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: but the Legendary Place. They were there because they loved God.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And as we grieve this unthinkable tragedy, we take comfort
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: in the knowledge that God has welcomed those little beautiful
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: girls into His comforting arms in heaven.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: We believe that. I have to believe that, and we do.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And we lost some wonderful people beyond the little girls
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: who lost some very brave men and women that tried
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to save the girls.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Is our nation. We mourn for.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Every single life that was swept away in the flood,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and we pray for the families that are left behind.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: It's amazing the incredible spirit from those families.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't even know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: How they do it, but moments ago, Malaney and I
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: spent a.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Lot of time with them. That's why we're little late.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I think this was a good reason to be late, Frankly,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and we just gave our warmest condolences. But you say
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to yourself, you know, how do you give condolences? How
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: do you do that to young person that three days
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: ago was here, four days ago was here and vibrant,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and now is no longer here. The search for the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: missing continues. The people that are doing it are unbelievable
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: people that you couldn't get better people than this anywhere, Christy,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: right anywhere in the world. You couldn't get better people.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And they're doing the job like I don't think anybody
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: else could, Frankly, and I want to thank them. I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: want to thank all of these great URST responders who
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: raced into very grave danger. We have some people that
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: were incredible. The single Coastguard rescue crew saved an incredible
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine children at camp missed it
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Some incredible stories again one hundred and sixty nine save
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that one is a great example. And the present sitting
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there talking in Curville, Texas about the heroic work that's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: being done by the first responders. I also just want
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to take a moment and say, if you can't give,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if you can help the people that all everything Hunt
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in Kirk Kerrville, Kirk County, there are a lot of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: great charities that are doing amazing work down there. Please
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: get involved if you can and give. It is so important.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear more of what the President
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: had to say about those that had been so influenid
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: on the community and those he wanted to meet in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: person and who had already met with.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Will continue what the President had to say in Kerrville and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: John Dunn, the owner of the Hunt store, was a
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: flood where okay good. We spoke a little while ago
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and it's sort of Jean was telling me some stories
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: about that store and it was just really amazing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, mister President, First, let me correct. I was owner
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: of the Huts store from twenty thirteen till April of
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: last year, where I actually sold the store to Haley
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: and b. B.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Lahirman, who are.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Excellent operators, and they're on the ground right now in
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Hunt leading the effort there together with the entire department,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: the churches, the schools, what have you, and they're doing
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: a phenomenal job, which my role in it is had
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: seller finance the deal and you're.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Going to bring it back. I'm absolutely going to bring
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: it back. And new walls are up. Two walls are up,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: and there's.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: There's belief out there that it was a total loss.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: It's it's not.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: A gentleman by the name of Larry Graham put up
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: some incredible walls in nineteen seventy three and he's a
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: great engineer, and those walls are still standing. Save the walls.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Save the walls. And the goal is and I think
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: we can get it done. Between Haylee Bb, myself and
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: some outside help that we're going to be getting, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: think we're going to get it reopened very quickly.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I think it's important to get it opened quickly because
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: once we do, the community can can get back to
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: a sense of normalcy. I think it'll be good for
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: the community. I think will accelerate the recovery process. There's
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: a lot that has to be done, but I'm impressed
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and very pleased with the resources that I think are
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: going to become available through the conversations with Roy, govern
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: her Habit's office and others, but that we will get
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: it done quickly.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, thanks John, good luck with it, Okay, I'm sure
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: you will. The search for the missing is continuing, as
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: you know. And today I especially want to thank all
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: of these incredible people from the Coast Guard, and you'll
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: give my regards in particular to some of the people
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: we mentioned. Every American should be inspired by what's taken
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: place during this short period of time. And I want
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: to thank Governor Abbott. He's an amazing guy. We come
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: very very close politically and personally, and we've had a
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: tremendous relationship with Texas. I guess Texas brought us together.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: We were together fine, but now we're together a lot more.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And I want to thank Cecilia, your great wife, who's

• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and he said, you know, we have a little bit

  Speaker 4: of it, part of it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And then he called again and he said, this is bad.

  Speaker 4: have to get on with it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: But I did want to ask Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: He's been my friend from the beginning.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: He's been the chairman of all three of my campaigns,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: and all I know is we won by record amount,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: so I guess you were pretty good chairman. Right, Dan
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: and his son is fantastic too. But right, Dan and
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: his son is fantastic too. But Attorney General Ken Paxton,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Ken's around here someplace, Hi, Ken. And Director of the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Texas Department of Public Safety Freeman, Martin Freeman, thank you
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: very much.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: You're doing an amazing job.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Texas Chief Emergency Management nim Kid, thank you, thank you
• 13:59

• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Thomas Seltzer of the Texas Military Department.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Thomas, great job, Thank you, really good job. And many
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: of the officials and everybody is here. You know, it's amazing.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I do these things and often you don't have you
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: just don't have a turnout like this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Half of government is here. But my administration is doing
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: everything ins power to help Texas, and I can tell you.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: That, and the governor will be the first to tell
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you that. When the request was made for the emergency funds, Christy,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I think we gave it within about two minutes maybe less,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and they had everything they needed right right immediately. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: we've deployed over four hundred first responders and assisted or
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: enabled more than fifteen hundred rescues.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Amazing, fifteen hundred Customers.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And Border Protection and the US Coast Guard have deployed
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: numerous search and rescue crews and they're all over the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: territory and trauma teams and beyond this area. You know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the governor was saying, we have we've got a little
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: bit beyond this area. Or there's doctor Phil. Look at
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: doctor Phil. You look in good Phil. This is a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: hell of a situation, isn't huh. FEMA has deployed multiple
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: emergency response units, and THEMA has been really headed by
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: some very good people. There's some good people running FEM.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: It's about time, right we get some good ones. They
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: failed us in North Carolina, but when we got in
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: in January twentieth, they fixed.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: It up in no time.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And the Army Corps of Engineers is always around and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: always strong and brilliant. We're also taking historic action to
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: ensure that such a nightmare never happens again. And we're
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: going to look and see how the thing like this
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: they could say it's one hundred year, if somebody says
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: it's a five hundred year event, it doesn't. We're not
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: going to let a thing like this happen again where
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: it can wreak this.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Kind of devastation.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Earlier this year, I directed a sweeping review of the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: preparedness and critical infrastructure. I think again, I have to
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: say whenever I say that, I have to say that
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the level of professionalism was incredible.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But we'll all work together to.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Find out exactly what can be done because they do
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: want to rebuild and they're going to I just want
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to say, we have a wonderful First Lady, and she's
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: done a great job as First Lady.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: And she really a very special woman.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: When she saw what and met the people that we
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: met just a little while ago, it's very devastating.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And would you like to say a few words, Honny.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: My deepest sympathy to all of the parents who lost
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: beautiful young souls. Deepest sympathy from all of us to
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: the community, to everybody who lost the loved one. We
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: are grieving with you, Our nation is grieving with you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: We just met with the wonderful families. We pray with
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: the weg we hold hands.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: The President and the First Lady there talking about what
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they've seen, the devastation, how they're just trying to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: around and be there for the people that are need
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: talking about just what a tragedy this is, but also
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: how the community has come together. We're going to have
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: more on this obviously and keep you update on what's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: happening in Kirk County, but it was important, I think,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: for the President to be there all the others that
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: he mentioned and helping the people with.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is they need. Want to move on to
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: something else.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: We are also hearing now from the White House, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: this is a very big move that should make many
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of you extremely excited that now illegal immigrants are barred
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: from Headstart in other federal government programs which we're clearly
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: enticing them to come to the United States of America.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Immigrants who are in the country illegally will no longer,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the White House said, be allowed to access the head
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Start early childhood education programs for their children. Many of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: them use it as childcare, daycare, as well as other
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: federal programs that you and I are paying for. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, and Labor all
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: came through and said they have issued notice to the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: relevant program partners under their War Watch to clarify the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: administration's interpretation of what falls under federal public benefit.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Is reporting, according to the HHS guidelines, people in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: United States of America illegally will be barred not only
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: from sending their children to head Start, but but will
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: also be denied access to other programs, including Assistance for
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the homeless, Title nine, family planning, mental health services, and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: substance abuse treatment. Why should we be paying for people
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: for people to go to these things outside of the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: United States of America that have broken into this country now.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: At discussing the issue, the Health and Human Services Secretary RFK.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Junior said he is resending an interpretation of the nineteen
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: ninety six Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: improperly extended certain federal benefits to illegal immigrants. What has
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: happened is now that is enticing people to come across
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: our borders illegally because once they get here, they get
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: so much aid from our government after they break in.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: While immigrants who do not have legal status do not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: qualify for quote.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Most federal benefits.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Many of the programs affected have not been asking their
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: participants about their immigration status, so that's why so many
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants are on food stamps and other things like that.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: They qualify them not by ascident if they're an illegal,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: but through income and quote other verification methods. That's how
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the system has become abused and broken. Now the new
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: policy is set to take effect immediately, an HHS spokesman
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: said the Department of Agriculture, pointing to guidance issued in April,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: we ought to prohibit immigrants who are in the United
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: States illegally from also getting US food stamps, affirms its
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: position that they quote should not receive government dollars. Again,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: it entices people to break our laws. Shortly after taking office,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: President Trump directed agencies to identify relevant programs and issued
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: an executive order to prevent immigrants in the US without
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: legal permission from getting benefits funded by the taxpayers. This is,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: by the way, what I and so many other Americans
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: actually voted for, and then in negotiations over the Trump
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: sponsored megabills signed to law July fourth, the White House
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: promise that the president would use more executive actions aimed
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: at illegal immigration to make sure that your tax dollars
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: are not going to illegals. Now I'm in favor of this.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: This is why I voted for Trump. This is why
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I supported Trump. This is why millions and millions of
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Americans voted for Trump and they shouldn't back down on
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: this at all. Okay, like this should be one hundred
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: percent happening period, one hundred percent happening period.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Game over.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Let me also just say one more thing. The left
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: has already started this. They're saying that these moves are
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be U Republicans. There's gonna be hell to pay
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: for this in the elections, and the kids are gonna
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: die and people are gonna starve to death. A.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen. B.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: If you can't survive here because you're breaking the laws
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and we're calling you out for it, then let me
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: also say this.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You can go back to the country you came from.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: If your life is so bad that you're going to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: quote unquote starve to death, as Democrats are going to say,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: because the American people are not going to pay for
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: your food when you broke into our country, then you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: can go home to the country that you came from.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That is not meant to be mean. That is the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: reality of the situation.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And I am so tired of the left every time
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you try to have on earth like oh well, it's
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: gonna die. People are gonna die. Everybody's gonna die. All
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the people are gonna die. Everybody's gonna die. Like no,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that's not how this works. We need to have law
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and order. Let me just remind you of just how many,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: as Donald Trump would put it, bad ombras that there
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: are out there in this country among us because of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a wide open southern border. There was a new warning
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that came from Tom Homan on the arrest of an
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: MS thirteen not just gang member, but a kingpin in Nebraska,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Perez on El Salvador's one hundred most wanted list. This
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: is how bad of a guy this is is one
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of those that came into the country illegally. And Tom
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Homan reminding people what's happening right now in America.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: This isnt a border state, it's Nebraska.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, go look at a damn
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: map and see where Nebraska is. And if you think
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that illegal immigrants are only on the southern border and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang members and trains Larraga gang members only
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: at the border, you are wrong. They have set up
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: shop in every state in America, and Nebraska is a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: pretty far distance from the border.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Listen to this all.
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: Right, back to the breaking news that we brought you
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: earlier this hour, ICE agents arrested an MS thirteen kingpin
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: in Nebraska. He has now been identified as Melvin Virella Perez.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: He has been on El.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: Salvador's most wanted list for nearly a decade, but was
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: somehow released into the United States after he crossed the
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: border illegally in twenty twenty three. Let's bring in white
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: House borders are Tom Homan. Tom, let me just put
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: up the record here of this guy that somehow got missed.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: First of all, here's the mugshot from his arrest in Oklahoma.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: In Oklahoma, now here is the our Omaha, Nebraska start.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Here is the picture from twenty sixteen. This was put
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: out by the National Police. He's on the top one
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: hundred Los one hundred mas Buscados. Then here's another notice
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: from twenty nineteen looking for the same guy, and another
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: one from twenty nineteen that was put out by crime
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: stoppers looking for this guy. And yet somehow, Tom, when
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: he came across the border illegally in twenty twenty three, he.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Was paroled into the country. How in the world could
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: that have happened?
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Well, look This is just one example of what I've
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: been saying for the last four years. The Biden administration
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: lights and American people when they said everybody they released.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: In the country is properly vetted. They weren't.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: I know, you know, first of all, we don't have
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: access to other countries criminal data. But as you said,
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: this was the public information and this has been easily found.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: But this administration their main focus. Under Biden administration, Borbito
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: had one directive process quick release quick because if there's
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: no overcrowding, we can keep claiming.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: The border secure.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: And we got control of everything, and they kept lying
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: to American people everybody releases vetted. I can't tell you
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: how many criminals under the t Open administration we have.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: We have arrested and deported that were released in the
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: country by Joe Biden saying they were vetted. We have
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: rested murders, people that wanted to they were convicted murder
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: in other countries. If you had murder warrants in other countries,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: people had sexual assaults in other countries, people have sexual
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: assaults here that they weren't problem during the betting process
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: because they weren't vetted. The last administration lied, and that's
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: why we're so busy right now going across the country trying.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: To find these bills.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: All right, so I could go you one better on
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: this Melvin Virella Paraz So he was nailed in Omaha
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: with another guy named Renee Escobar Ochoa.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: We'll put his picture up on the screen for you.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: This guy had an interpole red notice against him for
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: drug trafficking and conspiracy to commit murder. He had an
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: interpole notice against him.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: And that got missed. How does that happen? In confidence?
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: I mean it incomments from last administration, they're directive to
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: how more orbitual process and releases with role proper betting.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: And also, let's remember Ice was told by second TERMI
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: Orchis you can't arrest it for some of them and
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: her Illegeralis, they probably weren't even looking in this person
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: unless you had a serious criminal conviction. Not a warrant,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: not a want, but a conviction. So look at the
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: last administration. They totally screwed it up, from releasing people
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: from the Board of non vetting to tying ICE's hands.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: We had a record number ten point five minute illegal
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: amags come.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: To our border and Joe Biden.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: ICE had the lowest numbers of arresting movements in the
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: history of the agency because her hands were tied. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: that's why we're working so hard under President Trump, under
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: his leadership, we're working so hard right now sending as
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: many teams out in the communities as possible to look
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: for these criminals that the last administration released in this country.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: And that's why we're so busy right now. That's why
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: you see all the teams out in every major city
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: in the nation.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You know, this kills the narrative that somebody in the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: left in the media are trying to do is saying, oh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: there's no bad people, They're all just good people.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Look.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: ICE agents.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Arresting two more migrants with m asserteen ties in Nebraska.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: We're just hearing about right now the US Immigration Customer
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Enforcement agents today and I just got this SENTI me
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: arrested two alleged members the Amstertein Game and Gang in.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Omaha, Nebraska.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They're accused of giving orders to fellow gang members to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: commit a variety of crimes, including multiple homicides, multiple extortion plots.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Imprisonment, and drug trafficking.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: According to the newest release, the ICE release says they
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: are criminal aliens and hemiserteen gang members and foreign terrorists
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: also now wanted in El Salvador.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: So it's not just the one guy that you heard about.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: There's more.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: ICE did not release the names of the men taking
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: into Kassi.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: The law enforcement agency.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Said these are more high ranking members who are also
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: on El Salvador's top one hundred most wanted fugitives. I
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: was yesterday on Fox Business channel talking about a movie,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the New Superman movie. It's coming out, and the New
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Superman movie is all about wokeness. It is all about
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: saying that Superman, I'm not joking, is an illegal immigrant,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: but a do gooder who's just doing good So therefore,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: why should anybody not wanted to be in this country.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not joking. This is actually what they're saying in
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the movie. There are scenes about this, like He's like,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm just a good guy doing good things, trying
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to imply that only people, the only people that come
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: across the Southern border are good people. Well, I want
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you to hear what I had to say on Fox
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Business about this new movie and why you shouldn't go
• 28:32

• 28:35
  Speaker 1: this liberal crap.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Love the fact that you've got a movie that's coming.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: Out that they want everyone to go see that was
• 28:43

• 28:50
  Speaker 9: hate you if you voted for Donald Trump and you
• 28:52

• 28:58
  Speaker 9: guy in his own words, there, super I'm a good guy.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: What are they trying to do? This is political propaganda
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: one on one.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: They're trying to imply that everyone that comes across the
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: southern border or the northern border is a good guy,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: and we just love everyone. Look, I love everyone as
• 29:13
