Speaking at a press conference alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was asked by a reporter whether the fact that he and many others did not receive warnings from the National Weather Service until 7 a.m. was a “fundamental failure of the federal government's responsibility to keep people safe.” Noem argued that the technology was “ancient” and that the Trump administration is working to upgrade it. There is no proof of this.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Search and rescue operations continue after flash flooding killed at least 80 people in central Texas.  The toll includes at least 28 children in Kerr County, where ten girls and one counselor from Camp Mystic are still unaccounted for.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Sunday that search and recovery efforts will continue around the clock, adding that flash flooding is still a danger with more rain in the forecast.   Two ---  Filling up the gas tank in Michigan is eleven-cents a gallon cheaper this week.  Triple-A Michigan says the average price is now three-dollars-15-cents, down five-cents from last month and 43-cents less than last year.  The most expensive gas is in metro Detroit at three-dollars-20-cents, and Marquette has the lowest price in the state at three-dollars a gallon.    And number three --- President Trump signed the big, beautiful bill Friday, drawing praise from GOP leaders.  House Speaker Mike Johnson tells Fox News the bill boosts the average American's take-home pay by 13-thousand dollars and delivers on the administration's "America First" agenda.

Historic rainfall in the Texas Hill Country over the Fourth of July weekend killed at least 67 people statewide, with many others still missing, including some from the all-girls sleepaway camp, Camp Mystic. After bombarding the Hill Country, the rushing floodwater in the San Saba, Llano and Guadalupe rivers kept wreaking havoc downstream, including in Austin, where at least four were killed and others were missing. Gov. Greg Abbott issued a disaster declaration for 21 counties, and federal assistance is also on the way. Host Nikki DaVaughn and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec hopped on the mic on Sunday to bring you the latest on what we know and how to help.  Want some more Austin news?

Fox News Radio's Eben Brown joins the show to report on the devastating Texas flooding—an extreme 100–500-year flood event that dropped 12 inches of rain and caused the Guadalupe River to surge over 26 feet in under an hour. At least 27 campers at Camp Mystic have died, with 11 still missing. The segment covers ongoing rescue operations, Governor Abbott's emergency response, questions over local alert systems, and scrutiny of the camp's preparedness. Brown also discusses the urgent need for investigations into how this tragedy unfolded so quickly.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says emergency workers will be relentless in their search for everyone missing after catastrophic flash floods. At least 27 girls from a Christian summer camp are unaccounted for. More than 50 people are known to have died. There is a lot of anger that, for some Texans, official flood warnings came too late. Also in the programme: Israel and Hamas are due to begin indirect talks in Qatar on a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal; and billionaire Elon Musk gives a name to his new political party: "The America Party".

In this episode, we report on Texas's newly expanded film and TV incentive program, which commits $150 million annually through 2035. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation to boost production grants by $100 million every two years, bringing total subsidies to $1.5 billion. Eligible projects with budgets over $1.5 million can receive 25 % of qualified in-state spending, plus additional uplifts for rural shoots, veteran hires, workforce development, and faith-based or family-friendly content. The program requires 60 % of shooting to occur in Texas and gradually raises the in-state crew threshold to 50 % by 2031. Funded through insurance and franchise taxes, the law also gives the Texas Film Commission authority to reject projects that portray the state negatively. With endorsements from Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Taylor Sheridan, Texas positions itself as the next major U.S. production hub.TAGSTexas film incentives, film subsidies, Hollywood South, media coast, Greg Abbott, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Taylor Sheridan, film production, cash grants, insurance tax, franchise tax, rural film grants, veteran hiring, workforce development, faith-based films, family values content, Texas film office, budget threshold, in-state crew, production incentives, state subsidies, film legislation, film locations, production tax incentives, TV production, grant qualifications, Texas filmmaking, production relocation, creative finance, podcast episode KeywordsTexas film incentivesHollywood South Texasfilm production subsidiesGreg Abbott film grantTexas media coast incentives

The gang dives into a new Gallup poll showing American pride at historic lows, with a record-breaking 56-point gap between Republicans and Democrats. They debate whether that decline signals a deeper national malaise or just partisan fatigue. Then they turn to Texas, where Governor Abbott vetoed a sweeping THC ban, keeping the state's booming hemp industry alive — for now.

//The Wire//2300Z July 1, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARTEL VIOLENCE CONTINUES IN MEXICO. USDA ANNOUNCES OPENING OF CATTLE IMPORTS DESPITE PARASITE OUTBREAK.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Mexico: Cartel violence continues as before, amid a recent wave of murders that have taken place around the country over the past few weeks. Last night, several human remains were discovered hanging from a bridge in Culiacán, with a total of 20x remains discovered throughout the site.Europe: Tensions between Germany and Poland have been on the rise, as recent changes in German immigration policy have caused problems for Poland. Various protests have occurred along the border in Poland, as citizens have voiced concern with Germany deporting illegal immigrants from their country, into Poland.Analyst Comment: This practice has been ongoing for some time, and many legal battles are in progress pertaining to immigration issues that have caused problems among European nations. Nevertheless, dissent is growing among the citizenry with regards to how governments are handling immigration issues.-HomeFront-Texas: Yesterday afternoon the US Department of Agriculture announced that the import of foreign livestock from Mexico will recommence on July 7th. The import of all livestock had previously been halted in May due to an outbreak of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Mexico, a flesh-eating parasite which is infamous for devastating entire herds of cattle, deer, and bison.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The decision to begin re-opening imports of foreign livestock has been received with raised eyebrows for two main reasons: For one, screwworm is very serious and the wisdom of re-opening imports while the outbreak is ongoing is questionable. And secondly the press statement by the USDA essentially boiled down to the USDA trusting Mexico to increase parasite surveillance operations. Trust is hard to come by these days, and this move to re-open imports is at odds with the concerns raised by the state of Texas concerning this disease.Texas agricultural agencies, research groups, and health officials, recognizing the risks posed by NWS have begun more intense efforts to combat the disease. Governor Abbott signed a letter last week ordering the creation of various Task Forces to coordinate and share resources to combat the cross-border transmission of the parasite.The press statement also indicates that the USDA is more or less taking the position of opening up cattle imports, and hoping it doesn't spread. The USDA has been increasing operations to release sterile NWS flies throughout Texas and Mexico, however the timing of this is suspect considering that it was the Mexican Minister of Agriculture that requested the acceleration of timelines concerning the re-importing of Mexican cattle. Since roughly 20% of the beef consumed in the United States originates from Mexico, the decision to allow imports during an outbreak is probably based more on economics than medicine. Time will tell if this is a good decision or not. On the one hand halting beef imports for too much longer will probably cause a rise in prices at the supermarket, but on the other hand NWS was only eradicated in the US during the 1960's after long and arduous efforts, so if this gets out of hand again this has the potential to become very serious once more.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Summer is typically a slow season for policy in D.C. and the states. Legislative sessions wrap up, and Congress heads into recess. But if you thought that meant a quiet summer, think again.With the bombings in the Middle East, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” moving slowly through Congress, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calling a special session, this summer is shaping up to be anything but calm.On This Week's Economy, I expose what lawmakers should be focused on.

Just as soon as Texas lawmakers wrapped up the regular session, Gov.
