There's not been a live rescue since Friday. So it's been a recovery effort and it's going to be a tough recovery effort. Obviously, that the missing number is not coming down, so. Or it's not coming down. Doesn't look like it's coming down rapidly enough. It shows you the force of the storms. And look, you need an inquiry. You've had these rains. Now, they're no coincidences. The rains last weekend in Central Carolina were biblical. People have been in these places like Southern Pines, Pinehurst, all the way up to Chapel Hill. Never seen rain at this level that have lived there all their lives. How does that happen the same time you have it in Texas? Well, you got these two fronts. Hey, maybe that's maybe the case. Maybe it's all natural phenomena. Maybe it is the work of God. But we got to get to the bottom of it. And of course, then they've got all the operational. What happened there in this terrible tragedy, it's got to be thoroughly gone through. What Holly was talking about right there, number one, we got to get up. You got to get to your center. You see how crooked this thing is with this ndaa? This is because the oligarchs have these guys on the payroll. They're paying their lobbyists. Their lobbyists all in with the campaign donations. Certainly on the artificial intelligence, it's a big deal with the. With the content and all your digital rights, that's huge. But more importantly, they just want no controls at all. And they put it back as national security. Well, the Chinese Communist Party is ahead of us where there's many, many ways to cut off the CCP from technology and capital. You could choke it down. Now that's a concern, which we think it's a concern. Choke it off now. Choke it off. Their ability to build data centers. It shouldn't be launching you Elmo. And this is where he gets his money from Tesla. He's up to hawk with the loans from the Chinese Communist Party on the joint venture in Shanghai which he has to give them the technology they just built. What an electric vehicle battery facility and manufacturing facility. I think it's 50 miles. It's huge. The competitor because they took the technology from him, they take the technology. We have what, $28 trillion trade deficit. I think 18, $25 trillion. 26, 18 trillion of that's associated the Chinese Communist Party. Of course the global say, oh no, that's just an accounting convention. Just an accounting convention. No it's not. You had wealth that you had sent to them to buy finished manufactured product here that this country used to make. That's what President Trump and this tariff fight is so important and the trade fight so important with Navarro and Scott Bessant leading the way and Ambassador Jameson Greer the trade rep. So this is why in the NDAA is this how the deep state rolls? It's a trillion dollars to the Defense Department, the Defense trillion dollars. Well that depends. If you're on the strategy of being of trying to enforce the post war international rules based order which was set up by the elites for the elites and sucked the vibrancy and the life of the United States of America and sent all those jobs like to China to the ccp, who's their business partner, absolute business partner, then it makes sense. They need a trillion dollars. You need to be all over the Eurasian land mass. You need to be everywhere. But if you thought this thing through like President Trump said, hey, how about this? Maybe a hemispheric defense, maybe it's North America. We stop them and get Greenland or have some associated Greenland, stop the Russian submarines coming through there, we block them there. Panama Canal. We don't let the, we don't let the Caribbean be a lake for the Chinese Communist Party. Get them out of there, just close the Panama Canal, say scoot, get out of here, maybe go to Bahamas and take that massive embassy they've got which is basically a military intelligence listening station, take that down. Then on the three island chain the Central Pacific becomes the strategic heartland of the United States. You know who understood that when Mackinder was doing the whole thing about the Eurasian landmass, the great giants of the post civil war United States of America. When America started to industrialize, that generation and the men that came, that fought in the Civil War like the greatest generation fought in the Civil War as junior people and then later came up and came to run the country the late 19th century, they got it. They understood that the Pacific is the, that Central Pacific is the strategic pivot, is the strategic heartland of the country. And if you associate yourself with the three island chains of which Cleo Pascal has done so brilliantly and Captain Fanell have done so brilliantly and the Secretary of Defense made his first trip, Pete Hexith made his first trip to guess where the three island chain. Right. And this is why we're going to, we're going to interview the ambassador from Taiwan this afternoon. The folks in the late 19th century got that. You do that. The United States is hermetically sealed. You put a, as President Trump says, lifting a little bit from Notre Dame. You put a golden dome on top of that, or a missile defense, anti ballistic missile defense, or the anti missile defense, a bigger version than what they have in Israel. You're kind of hermetically sealed. You add Argentina and Brazil as strategic partners. Down there, you got The Monroe Doctrine 2.0. We don't need. And for that, you don't need a trillion dollar defense budget. Just don't. And you get allies, I mean, allies that actually pitch in and pay for something and learn how to fight. That's what's happening in Ukraine. Ukraine, we're inexorably. I can tell you the headlines now, folks. When you come back from the end of summer, it's going to play out. And when you come back in September, every day is going to be, if we go down this path, every day is going to be a Ukraine war. This is the opportunity cost. We can't get sucked into this because we can't have the focus. The focus has to be here on our sovereignty, on make sure the border is permanently sealed. You got the money now, no excuses, let's just build it. But the big thing is mass deportations. And you see the amnesty they just announced. I think Joe Rogan came back and had dinner with, with President Trump. He's a huge amnesty guy. All those guys in LA are huge amnesty guys, all the billionaires, huge amnesty guys. That whole amnesty thing kicked up last week and trust me, they're back in the lobbyists. They're going to come back and call it something else. But it's amnesty. Can't happen. Mass deportations now, amnesty, never. You have to get your country back. And it has to start in la. They're, I think they're representing well, they're saying, hey, and they're going into MacArthur park and they're saying, looking to Ms. 13. Well, hey, go to East LA. Let's go some of these factories that employed illegal aliens and let's get the Americans free up the billets and let's get the Americans the jobs. And this gets back to the deep state, the war against the deep state. It starts at home. We have an enemy within this nation's capital. Even with President Trump winning Three times. He won three times, he took power twice. And it's even a tenuous hold on that The Deep State is trying to counter all of his orders, all of his recommendations. You see in the intelligence service, the three most powerful institutions in this city, The Federal Reserve, the Central Intelligence Agency, and CENTCOM is the CIA. Pay attention, President Trump. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Does the Fed. No. You look at that. Nope. The centcom. Yeah. I don't know if centcom had the control, because CENTCOM doesn't control the Ukrainian front. If centcom is in charge of the. If they were the combatant commander in Ukraine, we'd be at war there. You'd have people deployed. That's how powerful CENTCOM is. The gravitational pull of CENTCOM to keep us in the wars in the Middle east is massive. The relationships everybody builds with the Arabs and the Israelis and all the Middle east, it goes back from when the junior officers. Ask Flynn, he'll tell you. General Flynn will tell you. The gravitational pull of centcom is massive. That's what has to be shattered. And remember, you only have a handful of political appointees to do it. That's why we got to reverse. You saw Weissman, Mark Elias, and Brennan. They got the fear in their eyes. And this is just getting a taste of the romance. And just a taste, they're getting a little. Remember a kid, your mom would give you a little teaspoon. You're getting a taste of it, not making them gulp it down. Take a big draft.
