Yeah, I can't hear it backstage.

Let's just test it this way.
matched
We'll make it work.
matched
It sounded like a loose cable or something, Clay.
matched
You're muted right now, though.
matched
Can you talk a little bit longer?
matched
no it still sounds a little low yeah yeah if you have a like laptop mic or something we could try that instead sorry guys technical gremlins this is the the nature of the beast in live news technical stuff here oh that i think that sounds pretty good
matched
Yeah, Clay, Jennifer and I referenced this at the top of the show.
matched
We can walk and chew gum in this moment.
matched
We can have fun.
matched
overwhelming sympathy.
matched
We can have thoughts and prayers as charged as those terms are for the victims and for the families of the victims of this horrific tragedy down in Texas.
matched
But we can also talk about why it happened, why there was a 20% across the board cut to FEMA, why there was a funding freeze at FEMA, why the NOAA and why the National Weather Service had massive cuts, thousands of employees fired.
matched
And how local Texas officials on the ground said it in no uncertain terms, we can play the sound again in a minute or two, that this is because the forecasts were inaccurate, because those scientists got it wrong.
matched
But there's another thing that I didn't get to touch on with Jennifer that I wanna make really clear.
matched
Because as you pointed out a second ago, Clay, we can talk about the folks who contributed to this mess, who fucked around and are now finding out.
matched
One thing I wanna make very clear is we're not on this show ever going to blame the citizens of the great state of Texas.
matched
Because I saw a lot of folks online, on social media over the course of the weekend,
matched
reveling in schadenfreude because as we both know texas went red yeah there was one influencer in particular who tweeted quote rut row texas what you gonna do there's no fema to pick you up by your bootstraps they gave it all to ice now i want to be clear about something that influencer lives in michigan two million more people
matched
voted for Kamala Harris in the state of Texas than in the state of Michigan.
