Aerial footage shows massive flooding in Hurricane Laura aftermath
This is NOT a time to talk politics.
Ppl are losing their livelihood plus Covid is rampant.
STAY STRONG TO ALL THE PPL WHO ARE AFFECTED.
rob head – You, personally.
It looks like the BLM riots have caused a lot more damages and cost more lives than Laura.
Better concentrate on saving lives than politics
This reply section is why conservatives are just as bad as liberals
and dont move into an area thats bound to flood.. pretty obvious they’re expecting it since they’re house’s are all on poles..
Almost like your prepared… but when it hits you you complain of the government not helping… lucky I’m not leader… I’d tell you to move somewhere it doesnt flood.. LOL
guess they shoud start mopping those floors and raking the forest
TOUGH CHALLENGES: You think Caps make you smarter? OMG you are all nuts. 🤣
@Nonomous don’t tell her she fell for a troll
@Patty Morton Biden hired Camelahh to help him jail blacks if they get elected since she built her career off of jailing them. He writes the bill, she enacts the bill. Now they are back together again. Although she has called him a Rapist, and a Racist in the past she drops all of her morals to join the Racist Rapist in their pursuit of the white house
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Patty Morton 🤣
Chose to work on the hurricane instead of politics? Good on you man.
I’m not saying I believe him or anything else. Just that if it was the real choice it was a good one.

@Bev Sputler Yeah, the single sentence where, when asked by the reporter, he said that he thinks trump will give his speech well, and on schedule is him being fully focused on politics over the hurricane.

Is it just my imagination, or does this guy totally resemble a Bush?
He’s dumber
Thought the same thing

he should have been playing golf in Florida.
There is nothing smart about Greg Abbott~love from Texas

Can we get through one interview without it being political, my goodness. Both sides are just lunatics…. people lives are being destroyed and she’s asking about whether or not he watched the RNC? Come on, man
The RNC is worse than the hurricane.
Destroy Dixie.
@Doomhound So you are against great novels and rocket science.
@Kevin W *Coorporate News Network
@tamara Your right, I do sound pretty rediculous……Sorry I “triggered” you…..
This went from Hurricane Laura to Covid-19. Ohh lady stop with your Corona questions
180 thousand Americans dead are just a little inconvenience that 60% of Republicans think is totally acceptable, to not upset their Dear Leader. So let’s not talk about it, as it miraculously just…go away… right?
Well she couldn’t sort out how to blame the Pres Trump for the hurricane. So why not jump back on the C-19 bandwagon. Gov Abbott was not taking the bait.
Hurricane is already gone past them, back to other means of terrorizing the public, into submission!
Woohan virus is a hoax! China’s direct energy weapons are the problem
That soft sided pool is still holding water! I’d walk out and give it the ol’ slap and say “That’ll do pool, that’ll do.”

BlackSupremist yup your right. Nail on the head with a hammer. Why are you shaking your head? That pool is amazing! A block from the ocean and nothing split it open. That’s crazy.
@88camaroTT
*TRU DAT*
Why in the hell did this go from the Hurricane to Covid?
@Roman Yaroslavsky and yet….here you are!
@arizona votes Wise people don’t watch news channels they loathe. I personally cannot stomach Fox Fake News after giving it many chances, so I don’t watch it. Why do you waste time here? Are you a glutton for punishment or do you secretly actually like it?
@Roman Yaroslavsky Na…you just like to make yourself feel important. But you’re not doing anyone any favors.
Just to add to other similar comments, it is entirely valid to bring up Covid19 when you are discussing a mass evacuation because of a natural disaster simultaneously complicated by an infectious pandemic.
Dealing with people who may be ill, hospitalized, quarantining or isolating. His answer was spot on, He actually enlightened me on how he successfully achieved the safe movement of citizens.
Wake up people, this doesn’t end well:

Praying for everyone impacted. America is all of us not just some.
If America is “all of us and not just some”, why did you not pray for all of us and only prayed for those impacted? Thanks.
@MilkCow How do you know they didn’t? Or are you just trying to start something?
@dee b Jesus IS God.
@Matt Vemich Covid 19 is a SCAM. Only retards fall for it.
God is judging the U.S. and millions will die. And rightly so. They deny Him, mock Him, harm those that are the apple of His eye. They are all going to suffer and die. God will protect His own through it. After they die, they will be judged and spend eternity in terrible torment in the lake of fire.
@Matt Vemich No Matt you are showing your ignorance all over the place. Jesus said to judge everything and everyone. But those with the Holy Spirit are not subject to any Judgment.
Matt, if you are not Born Again, you are condemned already. Your present breath could be your last. You might not wake up in this world in the morning. If you do not repent and ask Jesus to save you, you WILL spend eternity in the lake of fire. Jesus said it’s both your body and soul that will be tormented there forever. You will feel every pain, every flame, every desire you have and none of your desires will be filled. If you like sex, you will have that desire and not be able to have sex. If you crave cigarettes or alcohol or food, you will have all those cravings and not be able to supply any of them. On the other hand, the Christians you mocked will spend eternity in bliss and enjoyment. I’ve been to heaven. It was one amazement after another after another. And the love felt like when you come home from a long week away and you are dead dog tired and sore and cold and you fall into your fluffy comfortable bed. There are no body aches or pains.
It’s your choice. You WILL spend eternity somewhere. If you hear God calling, do not resist Him. It may be your LAST CALL. You can procrastinate all kinds of things in this life and even endure the consequences of your procrastination. ( procrastination is a control issue. )but the most important decision you will ever make is about where you will spend eternity. That is a decision you should make this very second. If you don’t, you may procrastinate yourself right into hell. And you will remember reading this warming for eternity and you would give everything just to have 5 more minutes in order to BEG God for His mercy. And you will not get another chance. Your chance is NOW!
To give you an idea how long eternity is: If there was a mountain 100 miles wide 100 miles long and 100 miles tall suspended in the air and there was a little bird that flew to that mountain once every 100 years and sharpened it’s beak on it, when that mountain is ground away by only that 1 little bird sharpening it’s beak on it, not 1 day will have passed in eternity.
Good for the Governor: “My focus is not on politics. My focus is on saving lives!”
Reporter: “You haven’t been watching the convention?”
Governor: “I’ve been watching the HURRICANE!”
@Jaz Ma’Shae OR, maybe he’s busy managing a massive response to an incredibly destructive, not to mention expensive, hurricane that has killed 4 people that we know of, and that number wll probably go up.
Kimberly Lay yall slow😭
I have been watching the BLM riots and looting (sorry … I meant alternative shopping).
@rugby3230 He meant saving “HIS” life.
My cousin used to be a camera man for local tv shows in our area and let me tell you, interviewers are forced to ask stupid questions like those. Barely anyone writes their own scripts anymore. It’s the television broadcasters that tell her to read off their teleprompter
Honestly I can’t believe that this lady wants to talk about politics! SMH
Its CNN, they are all about political agendas. Especially bashing Trump!
@zymbotictoot if CNN “bashes” your president, why do you keep going back for more? The Truth hurts….something criminal Donny can’t stand.
@cronemagic I watch or “keep coming back ” because I want to. I’ll criticize them because I can and he ain’t “my” president. Enjoy the rest of your day.
@zymbotictoot You do you then. You’re a glutton for punishment.
Wake up people, this doesn’t end well:

He’s trying to focus on the Hurricane and she just started talking about and focusing on the politics surrounding Covid. COVID 19 is no joke but still let the man focus on the Hurricane and how to manage it, then in a week ask on his opinion of Covid and how it was managed when you have results. He said that cases went down based on the past hurricane that landed in Corpus Christi and have added guidelines to lower the chances of it being spread. Why would he care about Trumps opinion on Covid right now when he has the health and safety of others on his mind during a Natural disaster looming over the state.
@xPositivityx The World Health Organization and Dr. Fauci are MURDERERS!!! Everyone… please watch this interview and spread it. YouTube will probably take it down so save it, share it. It’s heartbreaking what they are doing.
https://youtu.be/zyh7W7wHj3o
Covid is a huge exaggeration, hoax, and plan to control the people. Trading freedom for security. I’m not taking part of this insanity any longer!
WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation if cnn is fake news so was hurricane Laura also “Fake news” lmao what a joke
@Jose Yata Jose my man CNN news is as fake as you can get! Of course somethings might have a little truth like this hurricane
@Jose Yata Let me guess you think covid is a serious pandemic too don’t you? We’re losing our freedoms left and right because of people like you.
This is horrible. I’m praying for everyone affected by this hurricane.
@Student Mateo Clark Biden 2024 !
jmlfa sub to Ikonik panda
He got hit by the hurricane
Dont worry greta will save everyone …
Anyone who is saying that the hurricane is a joke needs to experience 100 degree weather without AC and with a fucking tree in your house. People need support, moral and physical help more than ever.
Mother Nature at it’s best. She don’t give a damn about your protesting, race, trigger happy cops,money or Covid issues.
God and her have plans.
@Mike 72 while you answer that tell me where mother russia came from?
It was obvious that Gov Abbot did his best to distance himself from Donald Trump. What ??? A Republican governor who didn’t have a spare minute to watch the Republican Convention ??? Give Me A Break !!! Hurricane or no hurricane, that would have been a politically stupid thing to say, EXCEPT for the fact that we’re talking about Trump. At a time when other Republicans are jumping ship, Abbot was very astute to use this hurricane as a way of avoiding the issue of Donald Trump altogether. … jkulik919@gmail.com
Covid is a huge exaggeration! Please wake up. This is all about fear and control
@Firestarter Covid was made and released from a lab. You can blame man for this hoax
alex power you can’t blame man for viral RNA, and you have no clue how it actually started. Just like the Pope isn’t selling children from drug tunnels under the border wall.
What stupid questions this “reporter” asks! I tune in to get news on the hurricane and she’s asking the governor about corona virus and whether or not he saw the RNC convention.
She has stage5 TDS…all day everyday it’s Orange Man Bad at CNN.
Some journalists…simple doing “in purpose those questions”, just to get some serious question from the other side.
There is an old saying, who say:
“When God, given knowledge to people…seems some people hold their umbrellas ups down to void that knowledge”. So, now these people has no any knowledge….and I wonder why??
I have to agree on this. What’s going on with the RNC has nothing to do with this storm. She needs to stay focus on the topic.
The only place Corona wont spread is in riots. Its the peaceful arson that kills Corona.
yeshttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
In translation, that means he doesn’t have time for BS and lies
No he’s too busy killing people with his lack of action on covid
Lyn Sheppard people kill themselves if they want to shelter in place etc then do so. Can’t always blame our failures on someone else.

@Lyn Sheppard
….OK so you’re saying this dude, and the Government has to actually tell (enforce) people to social distance during an epidemic or they wouldn’t know?
…..If the government has to tell someone to do something that anyone with any common sense should already know. Sort of like social distancing to avoid Covid 19, and getting sick and/or dieing. Then someone decides not to, and dies. I think that’s called Natural Selection do you agree?
(New Ad for YouTube)
Natural Selection at it’s finest coming to a street near you. Advertisement brought to you by Covid 19 parties, and all Protesters….
…Anyway have a great/wonderful day…

That news caster needs to leave him alone about the politics! Sounds like a great guy and knows what he’s doing
I love how he responded to her. He’s worried about the hurricane not trumps speech …way to keep the focus
K Kat why are they communist?
@stephen 9789 Because Sean Hannity said so.
That’s because trump’s speech is like everything he talks about. Lies, lies, and more lies.
@Arf you left out …..on top of LIES
The Republican Party, also referred to as the “GOP” (Grand Old Party), is one of the world’s oldest extant political parties.[citation needed] It is the second-oldest existing political party in the United States; its chief rival, the Democratic Party, is the earliest.
The Republican Party emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas–Nebraska Act and the expansion of slavery into American territories. The early Republican Party consisted of northern evangelical Protestants, businessmen, professionals, factory workers, prosperous farmers (after 1866) and, former black slaves and some white Southerners, especially in mountain areas. It had few Catholic supporters. The GOP was pro-business, and it supported banks, the gold standard, railroads and, high tariffs. The party opposed the expansion of slavery before 1861 and led the fight to destroy the Confederate States of America (1861-1865).
I do appreciate his attention to this emergency instead of politics for the duration of the crisis. Way to go. 👍
