- 1:21[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I don't care where you're from.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_02]: It's information is good information.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_02]: And this segment in this episode, we're talking about
- 1:34[SPEAKER_02]: The obvious in the room is the floods, out in Texas, also TSA, made some new things for traveling, along with understanding what the government did on a bill, seven or two vote on immigrants.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get it all in to that in this episode.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_02]: And I want to first begin with telling you
- 2:03[SPEAKER_02]: I talked about the rain.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_02]: I've talked about the rain over and over and over again.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_02]: I talked about how we're getting so much water this year, more water than normal.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what happens when you get water.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_02]: Water affects it has to go somewhere.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_02]: So it goes to the dams, it goes to the lakes, it goes to different places that we reuse the water to help power plants, nuclear plants all over our country.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_02]: The water that comes from the heavens, we recycle the water, we use drinking water, water, water, water.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_02]: However,
- 2:46[SPEAKER_02]: Are we taking a look at what the water is doing?
- 2:49[SPEAKER_02]: And in this segment, I'm going to talk to you about emergency management and how steps are not just being made, period.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_02]: Water can be somewhat detained.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_02]: You cannot dictate the weather, meteorologists, to tell you when the water's coming down.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_02]: If you're listening to the news and you're aware of it,
- 3:15[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the key word I'm using here if you are aware of it.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the people in the world live in Texas and places like that where it's a huge, huge state and it's hard to reach people that's in the mountains.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_02]: It's way out the ranches and people in these small
- 3:36[SPEAKER_02]: towns.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we're one fire department and they put the bare minimum.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_02]: It is hard to reach out and give them the proper information.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_02]: We've been knowing this since.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_02]: Nineteen ninety eight when tropical storm George.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, tropical storm Charlie hit in nineteen ninety eight.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_02]: We knew when it hit in Texas back then.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_02]: that our communications and employment and structure and emergency management and all type of mitigation of stopping preparedness to get people aware of what's going on early enough.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_02]: So it would be minimum damages.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_02]: We knew this.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_02]: We knew about this, but yet we did nothing about it.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_02]: In nineteen ninety eight, it hits San Antonio, you know, tropical storms hit South Texas.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_02]: did major damage.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_02]: We know, we know, and still this is the issue with communication and preparedness.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_02]: You know, as we move forward, twenty nineteen, leg done lap.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_02]: The dam collapsed on video.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_02]: You can see the dam come apart.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_02]: Is the proper routine maintenance being done on the structural infrastructure like the dams.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_02]: Are we releasing the water?
- 5:05[SPEAKER_02]: Are we implementing emergency management drills to help people to reach out to the ones that's not near, but way out there who has no, you know, might not have the witness of what's going on.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_02]: It happens, right?
- 5:23[SPEAKER_02]: Communication is the key.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_02]: FEMA knows about this, along with your president, along with everyone that's in charge.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_02]: They know about these procedures and these things that need to be implemented, but yet nothing happens.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing at all.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_02]: And now we look at a death toll that's high.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_02]: We look at how nature will have the last say.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_02]: and out in Texas.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_02]: And the way it is out there right now, people have missing kids that were in.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_02]: I can't miss the camp.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_02]: I believe it is.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_02]: They were sleeping.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_02]: Kiss sleeping, washed away from the beds.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_02]: Why did it sleep me?
- 6:10[SPEAKER_02]: horrendous to hear.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine just sitting there, you're in your bed sleeping, your body of business, your child is in the camp, enjoying herself.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_02]: Well known, well known camp out there in Texas.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_02]: And you get a call three at a morning that your child
- 6:30[SPEAKER_02]: just got washed away while she was sleeping.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_02]: Woo hoo!
- 6:35[SPEAKER_02]: Your daughter.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, I can't comprehend that.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_02]: I can't comprehend what a parent is thinking, a father, a mother.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_02]: They're telling you that your child ain't there.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_02]: So you rushing over there to look, that ain't going to help nothing.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_02]: You might get
- 6:57[SPEAKER_02]: involved and you might come up missing because the flood is everywhere in that area.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to listen to a little bit of it.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to overlook it and take and dissect some of the parts of it.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_02]: Stop in between as we normally do here on the show.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_02]: And we want you to sit back, get your popcorn, get your cup of coffee, your juice, your water, whatever you do.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_02]: And listen to this as we play it.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not playing it just yet.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to let you know and set the tone and get you to understand.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_02]: It's not going to be long.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be up here long with you.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_02]: But I just want you to know that a lot of this infrastructure stuff and preparedness and awareness and communication and getting the message out save lives.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_02]: So the lives lost the lack of preparedness, the lack of drills, the lack of
- 7:53[SPEAKER_02]: Concern the negligence.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_02]: It's all through here.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you have to prepare yourself from now on and today's society and today's world on things happening unexpectedly on your time.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_02]: So rain like now where I'm at is raining heavy constantly.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
- 8:19[SPEAKER_02]: That's where it is fine.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_02]: But the water has to go somewhere.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_02]: Are you in a flood level?
- 8:24[SPEAKER_02]: Are you above a flood level?
- 8:26[SPEAKER_02]: What does your emergency evacuation plan?
- 8:31[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the people that's affected in Texas, they didn't have a clue.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_02]: No one told them anything.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_02]: They woke up.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_02]: They had fathers, American people there.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_02]: People inside the house is making a last call.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_02]: But help because they're stuck out here.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_02]: They had no clue.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_02]: People are in cars floating.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_02]: Whole houses are floating away in water.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_02]: First responders.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_02]: That's a delicate situation.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_02]: And I tip my hat for all the first responders.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_02]: And I tip my hat for people that want to go help other people in need.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_02]: That is a quiet taste.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone don't have that in them to do that because you will find things you don't want to see.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_02]: And you will witness things with your eyes that you can never close your eyes to again to alleviate that.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_02]: The memory will always be in your head and you have to deal with that.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_02]: It's things that I've done on witness with my eyes doing law enforcement and security.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_02]: I don't wish on anyone because I remember what it looked like to this day, happened twenty years ago, twenty five years ago.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_02]: So I want you to understand that this is not for the soft hearted person.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_02]: This is for people who can keep moving through adversity.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_02]: And it happens in Texas a lot.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_02]: uh... twenty nineteen done lap collapse the uh... damn out there it collapsed nineteen eighty eight topical storm trolley it happens another storm in october it happens don't forget to hurricane harvey and twenty seventeen these things take place over and over why we're not better prepared but yet
- 10:34[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to mention this because it's very important.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_02]: Very, very important that your president Trump has cut funding to a lot of things.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_02]: And when you cut funding, emergency management funding, FEMA funding, government funding, programs, things like this, it takes effect somewhere.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody got to take the blunt of this force.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_02]: of funding being cut.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_02]: And this is what happens.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_02]: They can tell you all they want to just happen from the Biden regime.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_02]: That's a lie.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't happen like that.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_02]: People are all over the internet letting you know these fundings, these cuts has happened and is with Trump.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_02]: and everyone can point a finger, but yet common sense is common sense.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_02]: Why would we cut funding for emergency management?
- 11:32[SPEAKER_02]: Why would we cut funding for FEMA?
- 11:35[SPEAKER_02]: Why would we cut funding for first responders?
- 11:37[SPEAKER_02]: Why would we cut funding for housing, floods, and hurricane emergency management, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_02]: We got category five, category fours, hitting all over our world, but yet we cut funding
- 11:52[SPEAKER_02]: on things of infrastructure to keep the people safe.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_02]: I don't get it.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_02]: I have no understanding on it.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to understand, but I have no understanding on it.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_02]: The rich want to keep getting the cuts for taxes and keep more money and let the people that fall by the waste side fall by the waste side.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it's about right now.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_02]: He said, but that's really what's it about.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_02]: So I ain't going to keep talking.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to play this video for you.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_02]: We can listen up.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_01]: Floods in Texas now.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_01]: Officials there are promising search efforts won't stop until all of the missing and dead are found, at least, one hundred and sixty people remain on account for.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_03]: We have spotters on the ground.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_03]: So as the materials being removed, we are looking for anything of a sign of a person that may be within this material.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: statewide, at least one hundred and nineteen people died in floods that struck after torrential rains nearly a week ago.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_01]: Most of the dead and missing are concentrated in Kirk County where the worst of the flooding occurred.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_01]: Search teams have not found any survivors since Friday.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_01]: Emergency officials continue to deflect questions about why the area known locally as flash flood alley wasn't more prepared.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_01]: and Katie Nicholson has been following the latest for us from comfort Texas.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: So Katie, the Texas governor is looking to have a special session looking at flood readiness.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_01]: Tell us more about that.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is going to go on July, twenty first this afternoon.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_00]: He announced a slew of initiatives that they are going to be looking at.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_00]: This is all based in the criticism that they have received since independent state about what happened here.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_00]: They've been
- 13:54[SPEAKER_02]: I have to pause and let you guys understand.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_02]: Did you hear what she just said?
- 13:59[SPEAKER_02]: The criticism.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_02]: Big time criticism, they have received, but if we be clear and quite honest, we got to be clear.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_02]: These floods that hit Texas and national disasters that hit out in Texas, it's the same story every time.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_02]: Preparedness.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_02]: Preparedness.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_02]: Preparedness.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_02]: We're not getting the message out.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_02]: Communications is key.
- 14:32[SPEAKER_02]: Now all of a sudden the governor want to talk about it.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_02]: But why didn't talk about it in twenty seventeen?
- 14:38[SPEAKER_02]: Why wasn't it not?
- 14:40[SPEAKER_02]: Some type of structure implemented in twenty seventeen.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_02]: when Howard King Harvey hit.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_02]: That was a stage four category.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_02]: That was major.
- 14:52[SPEAKER_02]: The five is a hundred and eighty wins miles an hour rainfall and wins.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_02]: Stage four is a hundred and thirty wins in miles an hour rainfall.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_02]: How bad it got to hit before we wake up?
- 15:05[SPEAKER_02]: Why we continue to sleepwalk?
- 15:08[SPEAKER_02]: I have no clue.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: criticisms that people didn't get warnings in their own community or enough of a heads up that they needed to move.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_00]: And whether or not the systems are robust enough, whether people should be getting messages on their phones and eat to these areas.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the things that they will be looking at is sort of what works.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the areas, or one of the places where they've had an example,
- 15:34[SPEAKER_00]: sort of brought up again and again since this happened is is right here in comfort taxes.
- 15:39[SPEAKER_00]: That's why we're here today.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: This is the fire hall here in just behind me.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you can make it out because it's quite bright, but there's a sort of a yellow siren up at the top of that building.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_00]: And this this went off on the morning of July fourth as the floodwater started to build up in the river and back up
- 15:59[SPEAKER_02]: That's the problem.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_02]: You heard it right there on the morning of the siren went off.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_02]: No, we're late people.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_02]: We're late.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_02]: We should have been known on the third on the second.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start getting people up out of here, evacuate.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
- 16:17[SPEAKER_02]: Why does wasn't implemented on the second?
- 16:20[SPEAKER_02]: Where are the towers to push your transmissions to all the phones?
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: to let the people know emergency management get out of town.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_02]: Where I'm at, even goes on your cable.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_02]: They stop whatever program is on that show you on the TV.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, listen, you don't need to be home.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_02]: If it's that bad, it's going to come up on your TV.
- 16:41[SPEAKER_02]: Get yourself on it, interrupt service.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_02]: Why does not be an implemented out there in Texas?
- 16:49[SPEAKER_02]: Where are the towers?
- 16:52[SPEAKER_02]: communication towers.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_02]: Now I'm going to tell you a secret.
- 16:56[SPEAKER_02]: And this is so funny.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_02]: And this is why I don't know.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_02]: I don't get it.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_02]: If you have phone service.
- 17:03[SPEAKER_02]: in these areas that they say in what they're saying.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_02]: So why the phone service is not being interrupted to make these announcements on the phone.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_02]: The car in the line is already there.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_02]: The signal is there.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_02]: It's simple.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_02]: The signal is there.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_02]: So why people are not implementing it?
- 17:23[SPEAKER_02]: Because the structure is not put together like that.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it is.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_02]: It's not put together.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_00]: onto the creek that sort of surrounds this area of comfort taxes.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_00]: This is a sort of a very simple system.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_00]: They have to write grants to get money to to pay for it.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: This is an unincorporated town.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: Essentially what they have is access to a number of gauges up and down the river and near the creek here that is prone to flowing.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_00]: That's sort of their early warning system.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_00]: They know when that creek starts to go up, they're in trouble.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_00]: And that sort of is relayed back to the command center.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: So today,
- 18:00[SPEAKER_00]: The fire chief actually took us inside the command center.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_00]: He showed us how everything went down that morning.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_00]: He showed us the gauges, the displays that they look at.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: They have a constant sort of view of what's happening.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_00]: Weather patterns are always keeping an eye on for potential flash floods because of course, as you say, this is flash flood alley.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_00]: And they then basically just press a button that they have inside that sounds this alarm.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_00]: The siren has got two posts.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_00]: So there's one here and then there's one at a park.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: that essentially alerts everybody who's here that it's time to potentially evacuate.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone that's in that area, comfort Texas was aware, but it didn't just hit comfort Texas.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_02]: What about everybody else?
- 18:47[SPEAKER_02]: Where's the National Guard?
- 18:50[SPEAKER_02]: Do you realize that the president of United States didn't even go to Texas until
- 18:57[SPEAKER_02]: probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
- 18:59[SPEAKER_02]: It happened Friday.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't even even demon announced him disaster to late.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_02]: So FEMA can come in and help.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying all facts.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a very simple model that, again, people have been referencing, pretty much since this happened.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_00]: This town was not hit as hard, but they were ready.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_00]: The chief says, you know, it may not work for everybody, but it worked for them.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: And this is part of his ongoing commitment to try to make this area more safe.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_00]: Here is Danny Morales, the fire chief.
- 19:38[SPEAKER_04]: We were prepared, and like I say, the sideline helped our people, you know,
- 19:46[SPEAKER_04]: It's better than not having anything.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you know for us.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_04]: We're just trying to improve.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_04]: I lost my granddad in the seventy-eight blood here in comfort, you know.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_04]: And ever since then, you know, it's, I've made it a point that, you know, I, I'm going to try to better all one of the systems.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_02]: So if this happened just in comfort and where he put out a siren and he activated what they did, why ought a fire department's not working together?
- 20:14[SPEAKER_02]: throughout the towns of Texas to put together the system, where if one turns on, the sound goes off, and it alerts to people, the other one should do the same.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_02]: Informing people all the way down the line, one alarm should trigger all alarms, wake people up.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_02]: Just like they said, they have the siren there,
- 20:42[SPEAKER_02]: At the fire department station, they got one in the park to inform the people in that comfort area.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_02]: Why is it not a taxi chain for it to go off all the way up the line?
- 20:57[SPEAKER_02]: These are the things that need to be implemented and needs to happen.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_02]: Why is it not happening?
- 21:02[SPEAKER_02]: Where is the government?
- 21:04[SPEAKER_02]: Since Harvey hit in twenty seventeen, this should have been already implemented.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_02]: This should have been set up.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_02]: The funding is from FEMA.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need them to raise the money.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_02]: The government got the money.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_02]: We don't cut off all the bills, all this other stuff, the money sitting there.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: So again, Morales says they were not hit as hard here, but their effort really trying to support all of the other searchers, and that's what they've been doing.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_01]: And Katie, you're right there on the ground as these communities grapple with the aftermath of this deadly tragedy.
- 21:40[SPEAKER_01]: I want to hear a little bit more about what happened as you spent the day with the fire department.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_02]: I want to tell you guys and I'm going to stop it here.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_02]: I want you to know that a hundred and nineteen people are dead.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_02]: excuse me, I had to sit up guys.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_02]: A hundred and nineteen people are dead and no longer here with us.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_02]: That's a hundred and nineteen funeral.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_02]: It was a hundred and nineteen people missing their families.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_02]: Then when I would see them again.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_02]: And some of this could have been avoided due to preparation and communication.
- 22:16[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know in other way to tell you that, but that's true for right there.
- 22:19[SPEAKER_02]: So as we look for it to the sunshine and again, we need to make preparation and do better.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_02]: Um, as we look, we go to a different topic right quick.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_02]: I want you to know that the government passed a bill that all the immigrants.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_02]: If you are immigrant and United States and you get deported, you ain't going to your state.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_02]: You come from they're going to the country.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to send you anywhere they want to send you.
- 22:54[SPEAKER_02]: They don't care.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_02]: So they did a bill seven or two vote.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me, that if you from Guatemala, they might send you to China.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_02]: They might send you anywhere else, Costa Rica.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_02]: They might send you anywhere, Guatemala.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_02]: They might send you to Haiti.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_02]: They don't care.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_02]: You just ain't gonna stay here.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_02]: Okay?
- 23:18[SPEAKER_02]: They don't care.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_02]: You just ain't gonna stay here.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_02]: So you gotta be real careful of what you wish for.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_02]: And I know freedom is priceless.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_02]: And I know where you coming from is rough.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_02]: I believe it deep in my heart.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_02]: I watch the videos.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_02]: I watch it.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_02]: I do a lot of video watching.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always thinking my brain and that's my problem.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_02]: I'm constantly absorbing different things and just reacting to things because American people are spoiled.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_02]: Let me just tell you that.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_02]: We spoiled.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_02]: And we like things that we do, other countries don't do.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_02]: The sneakers, the clothes we buy, we're so flamboyingly just throwing out the window.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_02]: I've seen people prepare food on the ground.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_02]: It's a normal thing.
- 24:14[SPEAKER_02]: Their water is in containers.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_02]: It's a normal thing.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_02]: The clothes that they get is sometimes shipped to them, less than a drift shop.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_02]: These are clothes we might look at and say, what?
- 24:28[SPEAKER_02]: Why are they even putting that on?
- 24:31[SPEAKER_02]: But to them, they're happy, they're dancing.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_02]: They're so privileged to just be in the land of living.
- 24:36[SPEAKER_02]: We take for granted so much stuff like clean water, a kitchen that you can cook in to the outside.
- 24:47[SPEAKER_02]: where the flies and mosquitoes are at, they're flying over your food.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_02]: We are very, very privileged here in America to have infrastructure and, you know, a roof over your head, where in other countries, there's no lights when they get dark.
- 25:05[SPEAKER_02]: The huts, they're in, there's darkness, they're sitting in darkness, there's no friserators there.
- 25:11[SPEAKER_02]: There's no air condition, there's no microwaves to heat your food up.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_02]: There's no fridge to keep your eggs cold.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, we take the time and we don't really appreciate how we live in.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_02]: So we need to take the time and understand when immigrants come from other countries over here that they're just striving to have that.
- 25:39[SPEAKER_02]: They don't want the Mercedes-Benz.
- 25:41[SPEAKER_02]: They can care less about fancy trucks and cars as sneakers and
- 25:47[SPEAKER_02]: wrap and all other stuff we might be entertaining with.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_02]: They just want to be able to have a little shelter.
- 25:58[SPEAKER_02]: Have a little corner where they can make some money for their family because back home someone is still suffering worse than the other person.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_02]: That's my spiel, you know, on that.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_02]: And TSA, when you look at TSA, they always change in the guidelines of how to travel what to do and now they got a new thing.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_02]: New devices out.
- 26:27[SPEAKER_02]: You might not have to take out your laptop no more.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_02]: You can leave your laptop in the bag.
- 26:33[SPEAKER_02]: You shouldn't have to take a few shoes anymore.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know because when I travel, I travel clear TSA pass.
- 26:40[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not doing all that.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not doing all that.
- 26:42[SPEAKER_02]: I'm in and out.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_02]: I only take my belt off.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what regular people are doing.
- 26:46[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not doing it.
- 26:49[SPEAKER_02]: So I refuse.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to be too close to people, COVID, all this other stuff.
- 26:55[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how people travel like that, but hey, do what you do.
- 26:58[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever is comfortable for you, you do that.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_02]: For me, I'm not doing it.
- 27:04[SPEAKER_02]: I pay the extra money and I walk through.
- 27:08[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
- 27:09[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not better than you.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't spend money on things that you spend money on.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_02]: And I spend money on things that you won't spend money on.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_02]: That I will spend my money on.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_02]: Come to ability is key for me.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's life is different and what prioritize what your priorities are, ain't mine.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_02]: What minds are you on and understand?
- 27:31[SPEAKER_02]: Because I've really enjoyed not being bothered.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_02]: I did just me.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_02]: It's not in personal.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_02]: It's just me.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_02]: People, I just want to tell you that.
- 27:45[SPEAKER_02]: I love all everyone.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to grow the channel as I close.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_02]: I just want you to know, guys, keep your head up.
- 27:55[SPEAKER_02]: Stay strong.
- 27:56[SPEAKER_02]: You know, watch what you're eating.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_02]: Watch what you're drinking.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_02]: You know, don't leave your, when you go to these clubs,
- 28:05[SPEAKER_02]: or lounges, don't leave your drink unattended.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_02]: People in Texas, I'm praying for you.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_02]: I'm praying for people all over, excuse me.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully guys, this showed this something for you.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_02]: I enjoyed it.
