Searching for Kerrville Flood Survivors

Welcome to the channel. This is day 2 of the search efforts in Kerr County. We spent 6 hours searching as independent volunteers for the survivors (or non survivors) of the flood on July 4th, 2025, in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville and Center Point.

Victor Davis Hanson: Beware, Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ Could Be Democrats’ Path Back to Power

Elon Musk announced this weekend he’s launching a third party called the “America Party” following fierce criticism of President Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill. But from the Bull Moose Party to Ross Perot, third-party efforts rarely succeed and often hand power to the Left. Will this be another spoiler moment that hurts Republicans in 2026 and 2028? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it down on today's episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words." “  It's kind of an effort to hurt Donald Trump, both in Congress and his successor in four years. But here's the question that I have for Elon Musk, and that is, does he really believe that he can pull this off? Apparently, he does. “ I don't think in the next midterm election there's going to be any American Party senators or representatives. But they do, in some cases, affect elections. And for the most part, it's unpredictable. Nobody knows what the situation will be in 2028. But Elon Musk must know that it won't be a constructive role.”
