Okay, so in this video, we're going to show you what it looks like when Main Tree Media continues to humiliate themselves on how they choose to cover the flash floods that happen in Texas. And then Scott Besson had a great interview with CNN. He shut down Dana Bash left and right. And I think you will enjoy that as well. As usual, we'll show you what both sides are saying and then give you the bottom line. Maria, we're also learning that there were significant staffing shortfalls of the National Weather Services Office. in the region. You know, George, as of right now, the local county officials really didn't want to address that just yet. What they are telling us is they expected between four and six inches of rain. That is what weather experts told them, the National Weather Service as well.

They also knew that in remote locations, they might get anywhere from eight to ten inches. But this amount of rain in such a short amount of time, it was very difficult to navigate. And when the Department of Homeland Security Secretary was here just yesterday, she acknowledged this was an issue. She was going to take these concerns to the White House as well and try and see if there was anything they could do to revamp the system. She says the president is committed to it. Okay, so we start off this video showing you exactly what's wrong with the media. And I'm going to share the facts with you. You can make up your own mind or who you trust more.

But think about this for a second. there is no county flood warning system that exists similar to a tornado siren that was proposed in this county seven years ago says it right here Kelly said the county considered a flood warning system along the river that would have functioned like a tornado warning siren about six or seven years ago but what happened the public rejected it because of the cost so that's my point number one point number two weather service had extra staffers that night. Here it is. Where the office would typically have two forecasters on duty during clear weather, they had up to five on staff. Quote, there were extra people in here that night,

and that's typical in every weather service office. You staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime, hold people over. So bottom line is up front. The media is going to lie to people blatantly, and they don't care about the facts. They want to blame President Trump, but there's no connection here. Let me show you to another example. And just talking about the federal government and even the local government to Texas National Weather Service offices involved in forecasting and warning about flooding on the Guadalupe River are missing some key staff members, a director of the NWS union, told CNN that the Austin San Antonio office is missing a warning coordination meteorologist due to the

Trump administration's buyouts. Do you have any indication whether those or other cuts helped play a role in the fact that the people in the flood zone were not prepared and certainly not evacuated? No, I can't say that conclusively, but I do think that it should be and I don't think it's helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service. is not in place to help prevent these tragedies. And, you know, when I say that we ought to do everything possible to help prevent a tragedy life again, that's part of what I mean.

All right. Now, before we move even further, if you guys have been getting value from our channel, please like, share, and subscribe.

We got MAGA pack.

And we also have alligator, Alcatraz. And all of them, you can get with a matching coffee mug as well. And don't forget to follow us on Spotify and Apple podcast. Now, in both clips I just showed you from ABC to CNN, both of the guests actually pushed back on the statement that the host is trying to make. Slopinopinopoulos is trying to lead the reporter on the ground in a certain narrative. She doesn't even buy it. And then the congressman out of Texas, he doesn't even buy it because he's a Democrat.

He cannot go on CNN and clearly state that. this was caused due to budget cuts because he knows the facts are not there. And that's how sick the media can be. Now, the one thing that they don't want to tell you is they can come up with all these bright ideas about what could be different, what they should fix, what should be installed. But ultimately, you know who's going to decide that? It's the people who live in the area. They will have to vote on that. But why talk about that when you can continue to do the same song and dance you always do, which is to try to blame this event on climate change? Take a listen.

How much do you think the changing climate is part of what we are seeing go on here, not just what we're seeing in the pictures that we're showing on the screen, but even the flood that you talked about in San Antonio in June? No, I think climate change is obviously a part of it. These floods are happening more often in more parts of the country and really all over the world. And so we have to face that reality. and be better prepared for it and combat it. All right.

So since they want to talk about climate change, let's talk about it. Let's talk about when we are purposely changing the climate in the atmosphere to produce more precipitation. That's exactly what cloud seeding is. And it's happening in Texas, among other states as well. Now, let me do something that the media fails to do. Is it true that cloud seeding in America's exists? Yes. Is it true that it causes more rainfall? That is true. Is it true that cloud seeding operations are happening in areas that are known to be flood zones like Curve County? That is true. But is it true that cloud seeding caused the flooding? No, there's no evidence of that. You see, it's not that difficult CNN. You could tell the truth. I mean, these guys are a joke. However, if you guys want to go look this up yourself, it's called North American Weather Modification Council.

And by the way, to be fair, according to them, cloud seating only has a minimal effect on the amount of rainfall that will drop in an area. I think you guys should know that as well. However, again, it doesn't matter about the facts because when you have Trump derangement syndrome, all logic goes out the window. And here is another example of that. Take a look. And what a horror story in Texas. The flash floods in Texas. The Guadalupe River.

51 missing. 51 dead, more missing, children at a camp. And, you know, when the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we're going to start to see on a daily basis because he's put this country in so much danger by his horrible decisions and this ridiculously immorormously immoral. world bill that he just signed into law.

Now, just personally speaking here, this is the type of coverage from the mainstream media that makes me so motivated to do my show because they blatantly lie to the American people. They think you're stupid, that you're not going to do your research. That's why I'm always encouraging you to think for yourself, and I show you what both sides are saying, not to annoy you, but that you're aware of the narratives that are out there. some people in your life when you, you know, have conversation with them, you're probably left thinking, what the heck are they thinking? Where are they getting this information from? They're getting their information from people like this. They're that delusional. So you just got to be aware.

Now, here's what Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson had to say that actually triggered a lot of people on the left. But I echoed the same sentiment. Take a look. State and federal resources have just poured into that area. Is there anything more that can be done congressionally, legislatively, to help these folks? In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does. I've talked to my colleagues there in Texas, Chip Roy and August Flugher, whose families, you know, that's Chip's district. August's daughters were at the camp. We also had Betty Carter of Georgia, had grandchildren there.

It touches so many families, and all we know to do at this moment is pray. Every available resource has been deployed. The president, of course, is dialed in and watching this develop moment by moment as we are. And we'll handle supplemental funding requests as they come in. but right now they're still trying to do rescue and recovery, and our hearts go out to all of them. All right, so I don't know if you guys know this about me or not, but I used to have a particular bad habit when I was serving in the military.

Now, thankfully, I was able to kick this bad habit, cold turkey, but I know most people are not that lucky. That's why I'm proud to partner with today's sponsor, Fume. Fume is a smokeless, careless, non-negatine fidget device that gives you the oral sensation of vaping, but without the negative effects. And it's a new wellness habit to replace your bad habit. Listen to this. Fume customers have said it helps them calm down, and as a supporter of Fume myself, I could say the cool mint flavor is the perfect pick me up when I need it the most.

So try Fume today. And when you buy their Journey Starter Pack, they will give you a free Fume topper for added fidget fun. All you have to do is hit the link in the description below or go to tryfume.com or scan the QR code on the screen to kick your bad habit with Fume today. Yeah. So for some reason, him saying that we should be praying for the families is something that's, triggered a lot of people. They believe the Trump administration's not doing enough. In fact, they blame President Trump for this. And when you're dealing with people like that, there's not much you can do, right? It's kind of like the saying, you know, arguing with someone who's an idiot makes you an idiot too. So we don't need to waste our time truly entertaining this derangement that they have. We just need to be aware that it exists and also what's truly happening on the

ground, which I showed you in yesterday's video and this video too with the facts. Now the president did declare a major disaster for that area. And here is the post on social media. He's making sure FEMA and all assets are available. He even wrote a letter to the governor. And at the bottom of it, he said our running for secretary, Christy Nome, is available at all times. Okay. And now we move to our next update. And that is Scott Best. And he did an interview with CNN, Dana Bash, this morning. And as usual, Dana likes to push a particular agenda, frame a particular particular narrative, but every now and then she tries it on the wrong person and in this situation that is Scott Besson. Take a look at this. Okay. When you talk about these letters and you talk

about kind of the 90 deals in 90 days, or at least the president did back in April, so far that we've seen three and they're not concrete deals the way that we're used to seeing trade deals, their frameworks. The president has a reputation, self-described deal maker. So why haven't we seen the kind of deals that he promised in the last 90 days? Again, he didn't promise this. And when we send out the 100 letters to these countries, that will set their tariff rate. So we're going to have a hundred done in the next few days.

That's not a deal. That's a threat. No, that's the level. that's the deal. If you want to trade with the United States, this is. But that's not a negotiation. That's just a declaration. Many of these countries never even contacted us. So that's the thing about being the deficit country, Dana, is when you are the deficit country, you have the leverage. These are surplus countries that they have exported more to us than we export to them. So we have the leverage in the situation. So you think after economists have already come out and said, hey, you know, President Trump probably knows more than we do in regards to tariffs. He was right. We were wrong. And these are official stories that were published by legacy outlets that CNN wouldn't continue to try to push that narrative.

But in the end, the main point here, folks, is that media loves to say that it's Armageddon on any decision that President Trump makes. Time goes on. Everybody sees that it's not Armageddon. And then the media moves on to some other story and says that. that that's Ormageddon. I mean, this is the game they continue to play. I think that there's been a lot of doom mongering, a lot of, a lot of scare mongering. And this isn't the first time, by the way. During the president's first term, lots of folks said that the president's historic tariffs on China

during the first term were going to be terrible for the economy. And there was no lasting evidence of that whatsoever. There was no meaningful economic inflation, no meaningful economic slowdown. Everything was actually pretty okay in response to the tariffs last time. And thus far, again, this time we've repeated of the same performance, whereby lots of folks predicted that it would end the world, there would be some sort of disastrous outcome. And once again, tariff revenue is pouring in. There's no sign of any economically significant inflation whatsoever. And job creation remains healthy. Yeah. So I understand the criticism

here. President Trump, where are all the deals you said we were going to have by 90 days? I get it. I understand that criticism. It's a great question. But at the end of the day, is the economy crashing or is it continuing to be resilient? Are terrorists really disrupting our ability to grow as a country? Not at this point. And every month so far, economists and experts, they've been proven wrong. So I think the president still deserves some leadway here. But we should also expect deals to come, especially over the next six months.

And we'll see what happens. Now, here's the president yesterday on Air Force One, updating people about what you. what he plans to do on Monday. I did. I signed some letters, and they'll go out on Monday, probably 12. 12 different, well, different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs, and somewhat different statements. You'll be announced.

I have to announce it on Monday. Yeah, so what the president is talking about is sending letters to certain training partners, he says the number is 12, where, hey, here's the bottom line, here's our offer, take it or leave it. And this is also a response to over the previous 90 days where they've been in these negotiations and now it's time to make a decision. Now here is Kevin Hassett, the guy who's really leading the charge on this and what he had to say. Take a listen. I also mentioned those letters that will start going out tomorrow, according to President Trump. He said about 10 to 12 countries will receive them. Do you, can you,

Can you tell us who's going to get one and what they say? I can't. Because again, the part of the letter that could be happening, right, is that we're close to a deal, we're not really satisfied with the progress that we're making of the deal. And so we're saying, okay, fine, we're going to send a letter, but maybe you get a deal at the last minute, too. Until we see everything that plays out, I think that we need to just hold our fire and watch for the news this week.

Is it fair to say that those notices are going to go to our smaller trading partners as you negotiate with our bigger ones? I think that it could be that it'll be both, but also don't forget that when we have great trade deals, our smaller trading partners could become much bigger trading partners. And that's I think one of the reasons why countries are racing to set deals up with us ahead of the deadline. Okay. So in the end, once again, mainstream media does not have the ability to push back when it

comes to President Trump in these tariffs because they have not done the damage they said they would do. In fact, the S&P 500 is at an all-time record high. in history, and people are continuing to get jobs, as we've seen in the recent June jobs report. Now, the only negative, and it's my biggest criticism, is Jerome Powell. Can you lower the rates just for three months, please? I mean, come on.

Because you guys have to understand something. If he refuses to lower the rates, our ability to go get a mortgage, our ability, when it comes to credit card interest rates, our ability or the bank's ability to lend money becomes harder and more expensive. So that would be the main criticism right now. Now, let's go to the other part of this interview with Scott Besson and Databash. And it's about the Medicaid hoax. As you know, Democrats claim Medicaid cuts, $13 million or $17 million.

I mean, depending on which day you heard it, are going to lose health care because of the one big, beautiful bill. Here's one point that Scott Bessent had to make to Dana Bash. Tigalus. O&DC is a 20% hike over 10 years, a cost. So Medicaid funding will go up 20% over the next 10 years. The people who Medicaid were designed for, the pregnant women, the disabled, and families with children under 14 will be refocused.

The able-bodied Americans are not vulnerable Americans. So a work requirement or a community service requirement, that's very popular with the public And many state programs have that now. Now, according to KFF health tracking poll that was taken February 18th of this year and published on March 7th, it says that most adults support Medicaid work requirements, including about 8 and 10 Republicans. And as you guys can see here, 47% are Democrats, 60% are independents, and 82% are Republicans. The President promised that there would not be changes to Medicaid benefits, and putting a work requirement is, by definition, it changed to benefits. There are no change in benefits. There is a change in requirements to get the benefits. And what we were doing, we are bringing back manufacturing jobs.

We are bringing back working class jobs. By securing the border, we have already seen working class wages move up. So we are creating jobs. people can get off Medicaid and get a job that has good health care benefits. I'm sure you've seen and heard a lot of the concern, including and especially from Republicans who are the most vocal in Congress, about the fact that those work requirements are going to be very cumbersome to actually prove, and it will inevitably force the people who need that Medicaid coverage off the rolls. Well, first of all, it's the Republicans are not the most,

most vocal on this. It is a group of Democrats who, unfortunately, seem to think that poor people are stupid. I don't think poor people are stupid. I think they have agency, and I think to have them register twice a year for these benefits that is not a burden, but these people who want to infantilize the poor and those who need these Medicaid benefits are alarmist. Okay. So bottom line is what? You've seen the polls where majority of Americans support work requirements for Medicaid. Okay. Now, let's not be naive here. Clearly, there are people who are currently employed receiving Medicaid. So that is an issue. And in time, we're going to find out if the Republicans' way of doing things with Medicaid is much more effective, helps Americans in a better way than the way that Democrats want to do it. Because ultimately, I mean, that is what we'll tell the truth here. Now, let's go to the next story, and that is about Elon Musk. We talked about it yesterday.

We got to talk about it again. We know he launched a third political party officially. And Scott Besson, in this same interview with Dana Bash, had some words for Elon Musk. Take a look. Before I let you go, it's not a big secret that you had your differences with Elon Musk when he was working in the administration. He announced this weekend that he is starting a new political party. Does that worry the Trump administration? Look, the principles of Doge were very popular.

I think if you looked at the polling, Elon was not. So I believe that the boards of directors at his various companies wanted him to come back and run those companies, which he is better at than anyone. So I imagine that those board of directors did not like this announcement yesterday and will be encouraging him to focus on his business activities, not his political activities. Okay. So you guys already know how I feel about this announcement from Elon Musk. Now, some people believe it will take boats away from Democrats more than Republicans. And I guess we'll just have to see about that. But there is a key detail that you should be aware of. And that is this post from Scott Adams, where he wrote, if you are an analogy thinker, you compare Musk's new America party to Ross Perrault's third party run and concluded it's bad for Republicans, right? That's the initial reaction. But that would only be.

be the case, if must, someday backs an American Party candidate for president. And I don't see that in his plan. If Musk only backs individual senators and representatives for his new party, as he has hinted, all he does is give Republicans a new way to get past politics to solutions the country wants and needs, such as deficit reduction. So essentially what people are saying here in regards to what Elon Musk is planning to do is that he's really going to start backing candidates that I would argue would be MAGA candidates, not necessarily Republicans, not necessarily Democrats, but candidates that really are aligned with reducing government spending, securing the borders, prioritizing criminal justice, making our city safe, I mean, on and on and on. Again,

the agendas align with President Trump. The only difference is the government spending part, and we know Speaker Johnson and the Republicans, they're not interested in reducing the deficit. We know that and the way the government is constructed, I don't think they can unless you introduce term limits and maybe that will do the trick. And then it looks to start a political party and, you know, we'll see where they go with it. My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much actually is that you may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don't. And so to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans. against each other, that would be helpful because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, who don't share your fiscal views and so on and so forth.

So we'll see where it goes. I sort of hope everybody puts the band back together the way they had it back in 2024, because when everybody was working together, things work quite well. All right, poor Scott Jennings, right? I mean, he truly is taking this to heart. And I really empathize, you know, I do support Elon Musk and his accomplishments and his contributions to humanity, especially online with the X platform, no question. I just don't think his focus in politics is really going to lead this country in the right direction if I was

going to compare it to what he's doing with Tesla and Starlink and SpaceX. I think that's much more effective in his impact on our country and ultimately humanity. Now, I can be wrong. Maybe he doesn't back candidates that are MAGA approved, right? Maybe he starts backing Democrat candidates. The fact that the matter is whatever he does, let's just hope that these are candidates that are going to take the voices of the American people much more seriously than the people we currently have in there at this moment. Because I tell you guys this all the time in almost every single video. The problem is not President Trump. The problem is Congress. They continue to be the root cause of what's wrong with our country as far as policies are concerned, as far as

the deficit is concerned, and especially these entitlement programs that if we don't do anything about in the future, news flash, it will bankrupt our country. All right. So let's hear from you guys in the comments section. The reality about the flash floods in Texas, as I showed you, the local people on the ground, the people who paid the taxes, the people who vote, they don't want the same warning system that you would find in a county who gets hit by tornadoes because it's too expensive. So having said that, is there anything else the National Weather Service could really do here?

Is there anything President Trump could do here? Right? I mean, it's interesting how they blame Trump, but don't look at the facts first. Let me know if we're on the right track and you guys were able to see the same thing. And then let's get your thoughts about Medicaid. I mean, it's almost as if I'm getting tired of talking about Medicaid because, again, it's like Social Security earlier this year. They kept saying Social Security offices were going to close down. none of them actually closed down i mean do you see medicated in the same way which is 90% of it

is fearmongering and 10% might actually be a credible discussion to be had or a debate i'm just not seeing what the media is saying medicaid and what it's going to do to people in our country if you do please let us know in the comment section below i really want to hear your thoughts about it now in case you guys miss yesterday's video where we talked about elan must's announcement to this third party. You got to see the initial reactions, by the way. And then the flash floods, what actually led up to it. We went into great detail on that.

So if you want to know about those stories in depth, all you have to do is click on that video because it's coming up right now.
