Good morning, america and what i find most disturbing is that our socalled political leaders, the climate deniers, they should have been preparing their. Itizens for such an event by denying this stuff could ever happen, they endangered the lives of millions of people. It is only because they were giving Campaign Money to spread these money to spread these lies. Theyve all got blood on their hands. Trump going down there is not going to make the situation any better. It made it worse. He added to the problems by not addressing them from the beginning. We need a real leadership.

Thank you so much for cspan for being such an informative, educational for us here in the united states. Other things, my prayers go to all of the victims. Fellow citizens for helping out with the tragedy that occurred here in southwest texas. Looking at some aspects of the fact of urban renewal or building homes in the houston area. That was something that was discussed in other media thinks, whether or not there was enough outlets for water runoff. Also i heard there the state of texas has a 10 billion Rainy Day Fund that they may tap into to help with the release. I want to look at the tremendous amount of thrift businesses in texas, especially Goodwill Industries and also up in dallas. They get donations that are free and they have a lot of apparel that could be used for relief efforts for the victims down there. To look into that to see if those nonprofit organizations are contributing to this relief fund. The other thing about the oil thing, for a year and a half on another station, cnbc, i have glut. Earing a nationwide that is the refineries has stopped working because they cannot store these gas or oil in a sense for use. In texas, i know the major Oil Companies are starting to raise the price of gasoline at the pumps. It is something for you to look into in terms of how to help the rest of the people of texas who are in this tragic time. Thank you for the wonderful job. Host robert, on the first part of your comment about what we should look into on the growth and development of houston. Let me show you this from the wall street journal. This map showing the population growth of the houston at your area. From 1990 metro area to 2015. The darker green is the population density of those areas. You can see the growth from 1990 to 2015. The story noting the population to 4. 6 more than 12 million from 2010 adding about 100,000 residents every year. The influx of people requires for housing and more infrastructure, that led to more development. There the drainage system in the houston area. The drainage system built for tenure flood. For a 10 year flood. Houston officials have been trying to build up existing networks but is a costly process. City geography inhibits proper drainage. The wall street journal going through the growth and the drainage all leading to where we are now, what we are seeing in houston. Weve got phone lines this morning. A special line for texas and Louisiana Residents. Want to get your thoughts on the impact to the region on the recovery effort, the expected years long Recovery Efforts. Want to see yesterdays desk yesterday, greg abbott will be joining President Trump today spoke about the performance of the federal government in response to harvey. Here is what he had to say. The state of texas have been dealing has been dealing with the federal government for about seven to 10 days before the hurricane hit. Wrigley multiple times during the day. Frequently multiple times during the day. I have spoken to the president , with his cabinet members ranging from homeland security, check rotation transportation, energy. Also the fema administrator. I would have to grade the federal governments response as an a plus. S is if not the largest has to be categorized as one of the largest disasters america has ever faced in to see the Swift Response from the federal government is pretty much unparalleled. We are grateful for what has happened so far. We know we are still early in the process and we need to maintain this. A major years since hurricane made landfall in texas. That was before harvey hit as a category four last week dumping 20 trillion gallons of water on texas, especially houston in surrounding areas. The highest recorded gusts of wind during the hurricane, 132 miles per hour. That was friday night, maximum sustained winds 130 miles per hour. We have been seeing the fallout since then. Getting your thoughts on the destruction, the recovery effort, the rescue effort, especially the effort of the federal government and state government. Randy is in ohio. Caller how are you doing . Host doing well. Ler i am getting people im getting tired of people down in trump. These people need to understand that they are lucky to have a president who cares about everybody. The guys coming down there, he didnt want to go down there to interrupt things, but these same people complain when bush flew over new orleans. These people need to get over it man. They lost. America voted for trump. He is doing a lot more than obama ever did. Obama never liked america. E wanted to give us over trump is trying to do everything he can and these people want to just blame him for everything. Texas. Own in we lost randy. James in florida. Good morning. Caller good morning. I just wanted to say, i was in mississippi for hurricane , and i dont know exactly what they are going through but i can say my heart and thoughts are to those people in texas. I dont have a political comment, i just wanted to say that this is a time for everyone realize what they are going through and it is going to be a long recovery so i wish them nothing but the best and hope the federal government and all of the nonprofits can do everything they can to make it as quick as possible. Call. Thanks for the we have been showing you some the getty images that have been released.

Brenda, houston. Where are you . I45 and im on the hate to say this but i am feeling bad and i am going to follow the later that called earlier and go out and see what i can do because i got maybe a puddle of water outside of my french doors. I have been very blessed. That is not the reason why i called it i wasnt going to call because i didnt think this is time to be political but the elderly guy that you just had but he was articulate enough to want to batch of the woman who called in and didnt want trump to come. I too would rather he didnt but he can do whatever he wants. I want to comment. Dont bring president obamas name up. If you think this president cares about you, you keep watching how he does. Test start using your brains are not your hatred. That is all i have to say. I wanted to correct you. Last week a woman called in saying why are the numbers switched every month . I want to tell the lady it is exactly what you think pete i have been watching cspan since brian lamb was in a small room with no windows. Februaryhat was in 1979. I started my career and i am now retired. They were complaining. They drove brian crazy and they agreed to switch those two lines. They dont switch the independence. Host i know brian lamb always loved taking calls. It has been several years since will before i started doing this that they have been switching those lines. It just to try and keep the numbers moving, to try and ensure that nobody feels that one side is on top more than the other. I appreciate the call. Thanks for bringing up the topic again. Bob, trenton, new jersey. Caller this is some food for thought for all of the political minded that are doing the criticizing. How much money is hillary how muchdation are they sending to texas . Food for thought. They are sending zero p to wake up, america. Hillary is crooked. Host what you think about the president s visit to texas today . Caller why not go down there . Every other president does that. All of a sudden trump does it, it is no good. The hypocrisy stinks so loud. He is a builder. He could have ideas. He could get things done faster. Look at what he did for the skating rink in new york. Every project he does in new york, he brings it in faster and under budget. Like the hell up. Wake the hell up. Host mandy is an washington this morning. Caller the idea that trump cares about the American People much more than obama did just because trump helped the coal , lets take of a private industry that has been backing him.

There are probably a lot of expecting mom is in texas who are going in labor. With the flooding, it may be having problems getting to the hospital.

Host thanks for bringing it up and the look with your very important effort this morning. You mentioned donations.
