all right. there you have it. he was in. he was out. president trump, vice president pence there, again, paying some respects. the president said something there, geoff bennett. i couldn t make out precisely what he said. could you, geoff? could you hear what he said? reporter: i couldn t quite make out what he said to the press, craig. i can tell you, we did not expect to see president trump at all today. the white house put out a schedule last night that said president trump, today, would have no public events scheduled. as you mentioned, the president caught a lot of criticism for not effectively doing anything on this day, this king day of service. the white house clearly saw fit to rectify that, by having the president and the vice president go to the king memorial here in washington, for just a brief trip. we should also mention that vice president mike pence himself also begginned up controversy yesterday from dr. king s i have a dream speech to try to
order in all the low-lying flood-prone areas in the county. that was several days ago. and then the event we had yesterday with the amount of water that impacted us, it was as serious for us as what y all had been covering as well for the other major news sources on what s going on south of us. this water is epic. it s unprecedented. judge historic. unbelievable. judge, we have to cut you off, judge blanchette. sorry. appreciate your time very much. i want to point out live pictures coming in right now. vice president pence there. you can see him greeting people in rockport, texas. those are the pictures on your screen right now. you re seeing a devastated building there. the camera panning over and zooming in and you see the vice president there talking to residents there. patting folks on the shoulder there. this is sort of that firsthand
