The Adam Mockler Show - Kristi Noem CAUGHT Lying for Trump as Flood Death Toll Hits 32

Starting point is 00:00:00 I need you to hear my words when I say this. Donald Trump made the decision to gut the NWH, the National Weather Service. I need you to hear my words when I say this. Donald Trump made the decision to cut funding to the National Weather Service, to cut funding to the NOA, to gut these federal agencies, rip apart the federal government with these doge cuts, basically just take a chainsaw to all these different things. And now we're seeing the result of some of that,

Starting point is 00:00:28 As right now in Texas, there are dozens of missing and dead children, dozens of missing and dead adults, families who cannot find their loved ones. And Texas officials coming out and saying, frankly, the National Weather Service, the reports we got about how much rain was supposed to come, they got it wrong. And we're asking, why do we get it wrong? Probably because the National Weather Service was already underfunded, was already struggling to keep up with employment, fill some of these slots, focus on weather and accurate predictions for things like tornadoes and flooding, being able to get alerts to communities as fast as possible. We were already struggling with that, and then Donald Trump came in and started making cuts.

Starting point is 00:01:11 And so I want to show you this video of this official talking about this and update you with where we're at. Listen, before I do, my name's Chris Maurer. I'm filling in for Adam Mochler on the Adam Mochler channel. If you enjoy this type of content, the link to my YouTube channel will be in the description down below.

Starting point is 00:01:35 Before I show you this video, let me show you quickly as I record this where we're at. Rescuers search for over 20 girls from Texas camp as flooding death toll rises to 32. Authorities say more than 20 girls are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, where the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet. in less than two hours during torrential rains that triggered flash flooding in parts of the state yesterday. The death toll has risen. At least 32 people, as I record this, including 14 children, have died in the flooding, according to the local officials. The family of three campers have confirmed their deaths to CNN. And there's a massive effort underway right now with first responders to try to find some of these missing individuals.

Starting point is 00:02:15 Truly, before I start here, my heart goes out to everybody potentially affected by this. It's absolutely positively tragic. And what I desperately want, moments like this is leadership in this country that can bring some type of hope, bring some type of message of unity, say, hey, this is where we got it wrong, take some personal accountability and say we're going to get it right next time. And that's not what we're saying. In fact, Donald Trump right now is just silent, just running around. We don't even know where he is. Just hanging out on July 5th. It's a disgrace, truly. So before I show you all of these different things, let me take you back a little bit.

Starting point is 00:02:50 This is a clip that went viral last month of a local weatherman talking on air about some of these cuts. And I want you to take a listen because listening to it now with where we're at is kind of mind-boggling. Let's take a look. Right? When is it going to turn? John, it's not turning. It's coming straight to us. It's going to turn.

Starting point is 00:03:17 All right. The turn was never forecast to be on. Sunday. The turn isn't even on Monday morning. The turn will come Monday afternoon, Monday evening into Tuesday. Remember that? That was about six years ago. That was Hurricane Dorian as it was absolutely devastating the Northwest Bahamas as a Category 5 sat over that region for two days. It was headed straight west. Lots of people in Florida were concerned the hurricane was heading here. And as you've grown accustomed to accustomed to my presentations over my 34 years in South Florida newscasts confidently I went on TV and I told you it's going to turn you don't need to worry it is going to turn and I am here to tell you that I'm not sure I can do that this year because of the cuts the gutting the sledgehammer attack on science in general and I could talk about that

Starting point is 00:04:20 a long, long time and how that is affecting the U.S. leadership in science over many years and how we're losing that leadership. And this is a multi-generational impact on science in this country. All right. But specifically, let's talk about the federal government cuts to the National Weather Service and to NOAA. Did you know that Central and South Florida National Weather Service offices are currently basically 20 to 40 percent understaffed. From Tampa to Key West, including the Miami office, 20 to 40% understaffed. Now, this type of staffing shortage is having impacts across the nation because there's been a nearly 20% reduction in weather balloon releases, launches, that carry those radio

Starting point is 00:05:05 signs. And what we're starting to see is that the quality of the forecasts is becoming degraded. There's also a chance because of some of these cuts that NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft will not be able to fly this year. and with less reconnaissance missions, we may be flying blind. I mean, truly just stunning to hear this individual from weeks ago,

Starting point is 00:05:29 brilliant meteorologists say this is the reality. This is what we're facing. I can no longer predict as accurately as I could before, moving into hurricane season, and also just in general, the National Weather Service is understaffed in places like Central and South Florida. And so then the question becomes,

Starting point is 00:05:45 okay, where is Donald Johnson? J. Trump. Where is the President of the United States right now? Well, Christy Knoem was around, and she had a message for us about Trump. Let's hear it. Thank you. 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 in Melania. This morning, I talked with him several times, And he wanted to make sure that all 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 hoping to return to their families. And that he is absolutely committed to using all the resources of the federal government to help unify families, rescue all those that we're still missing and return those who maybe we will recover back to their families as soon as possible.

Starting point is 00:06:44 Really? I'm sorry, but really, if that's how Donald Trump felt, then maybe he could get on camera and say that. I don't even care at this point about how I feel or anyone else feels about the current president of the United States, but for these families going through this tragedy, I think that they deserve at least the goddamn president of the United States being on that camera and saying, listen, this is how I feel,

Starting point is 00:07:10 I'm sorry, we're working for you. Not a message through Christy No. Are you kidding? me? And so you say, okay, she says this. Well, where else is Donald Trump in? Well, it's pretty interesting because today, on True Social, as she's doing that, he's posting videos. I can't even play this video because True Social was so bad. Like, I tried a hundred times to hit play on the stupid video, and it won't. But it's basically just a, you know, Donald Trump, you know, montage, excuse me, of him being like the most amazing person ever, and he posted it on True Social

Starting point is 00:07:38 today. What else did Donald Trump post today on True Social? Again, this is July 5th. This is as Christy Knoem is doing this. This July 4th weekend, I want to give a big thank you to heroic ICE officers fighting every day to reclaim our sovereignty and freedom, one of the most exciting parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Are you kidding me?

Starting point is 00:08:00 No, it's not that Donald Trump is in the middle of something else. It's that he's posting true social posts about, oh, look at me, I passed a big beautiful bill. Look at this awesome montage I made of myself. While we get the message, these families get the message from Christy Kome that, oh, I swear, I swear, Donald Trump cares. I swear.

Starting point is 00:08:16 Just, I'm honestly, I hope you can hear it in my voice. I apologize if it's too much. But, I mean, this should just, I don't know, this should infuriate you. This should infuriate you to your core. And so you say, okay, lastly, where we're at right now, what went wrong, right? Obviously, we all need to continue this effort. The federal government needs to be all hands on deck to help these families, to help find who's missing. But now we're asking questions of, okay, what happened at the National Weather

Starting point is 00:08:47 Service? And this was Christy Knoem's response. Take a listen. I live in Kurtville. Why was the National Weather Service not peeing their phones before 7 o'clock the day of the 4th of July? The federal people would answer that maybe for us. I got an update at 7 o'clock. First when I hopped, I heard. And I've heard updates throughout the week, but not before 7 o'clock Wasn't that a fundamental failure of the federal government's responsibility to be safe? Well, you know, my background is before I was in the secretary position here into the Trump administration, I was governor of South Dakota and served in Congress for eight years before I was governor. And so I will tell you that for decades, for years, everybody knows that the weather is extremely difficult to predict,

Starting point is 00:09:35 but also that the National Weather Service over the years at times has done well. and at times we have all wanted more time and more warning and more alerts and more notification. That is something and one of the reasons that when President Trump took office that he said he wanted to fix and is currently upgrading the technology and the National Weather Service has indicated that with that and NOAA, that we needed to renew this ancient system that has been left in place with the federal government for many, many years. And that is the reforms that are ongoing there. The timeline that I have, I don't oversee the national,

Starting point is 00:10:09 weather service. That's not under my department. Okay, I'm sorry. I don't even care about whatever she's going to say after this. She just, they just blamed Biden, essentially. They just blamed the last whoever, the last administration, the last five years, 10 years. Oh, there's been this ancient technology, so, you know, Trump's been working on it. Are you kidding me? The lack of accountability is astounding. Astounding. I'm 23 years old. And I am better. at taking accountability for the shit that I do in my personal life, the mistakes I make, than the current administration is for taking accountability when real lives are at stake.

Starting point is 00:10:51 Oh, yeah, sorry. You know, it's just been like no one felt like dealing with, you know, upgrading these things. So we're upgrading them now. But they're not. They took a sledgehammer. They cut all the funding. They did the opposite of that. She's lying through her teeth.

Starting point is 00:11:04 And it's even more disgraceful in some certain way that it's not Trump lying through his teeth. It's not, the President of the United States couldn't even take the goddamn time to come on to this stage and lie through his teeth about it. It had to be Christy now. Speaking for Trump. Infuriating. Just infuriating. Listen, if you are affected by this or you live in Texas, my heart truly is with you. I'm so sorry that this is happening. I wish you all the best, truly, truly, truly.

Starting point is 00:11:33 And it is so important that we keep using our voices and push for these agencies to be funded so we can. can save lives in the future, not do this. I appreciate you watching this video. Truly, it means a lot. Once again, my name is Chris Maurer, filling in for Adam Ackler on the Adam Ackler channel.
