00:00I've never seen anything like it.
00:06I've seen a lot of bad ones.
00:08I've gone to a lot of hurricanes, a lot of
00:10tornadoes.
00:10I've never seen anything like this.
00:12This is a bad one.
00:15We just visited with incredible families that,
00:18I mean, look, they've been devastated.
00:21They lost their child or two children.
00:24And it's just hard to believe what — I've
00:28never seen anything like it.
00:29A little narrow river that becomes a monster.
00:34And that's what happened.
00:35The search for the missing continues.
00:37The people that are doing it are unbelievable
00:39people that you couldn't get better people than
00:41this anywhere — Christy, right?
00:45Anywhere in the world, you couldn't get better
00:47people.
00:48And they're doing the job like I don't think
00:50anybody else could, frankly.
00:52And I want to thank them.
00:53I want to thank all of these great first
00:55responders who raced into very grave danger.
00:59We have some people that were incredible.
01:03The single Coast Guard rescue crew saved an incredible
01:07169 children at Camp Mystic — 169.
01:12So we've deployed over 400 first responders and
01:15assisted or enabled more than 1,500 rescues.
01:19Amazing — 1,500.
01:21Customers and Border Protection and the U.S. Coast Guard have
01:25deployed numerous search and rescue crews, and they're
01:27— they're all over the territory.
01:31FEMA has deployed multiple emergency response units.
01:34And FEMA has been really headed by some very good people.
01:37We have some good people running FEMA.
01:38It's about time.
01:40We're also taking historic action to ensure that such
01:44a nightmare never happens again.
01:45We're going to look and see how can a thing like this — they
01:47could say it's a hundred year.
01:49Somebody said it's a 500-year event.
01:51It doesn't — we're not going to let a thing like this
01:53happen again where it can wreak this kind of devastation.
01:57You'll probably have to do that.
01:58You'll probably come up with something very unique because
02:01there is no system right now.
02:03There's been no — this is no — a thing like this has never
02:06happened that anybody knows, certainly not to this extent.
02:09But I know the governor and everybody is working on it.
02:12They're meeting, and they'll figure something out.
02:15Thank you, Mr. President, I want to let you know that it is
02:30actually bigger than it's happening.
