Texas acting Gov Dan Patrick, TDEM Chief Nim Kidd give update on Beryl recovery 

They can't. Planning is antithetical to GOP.

The worst part is Greg Abbott fled the country with the VP of Centerpoint to Asia for a PR conference and refused to come back. They are in Japan right now having a vacation.

He was prepared❤

If he served three tours in Iraq then four days without electricity in a house is a luxury vacation for him.

We DEFINITELY need positive Change in Houston, & across Texas. 3rd Storm in 6-8 wks with dangerous flooding & power outages. So many vulnerable People are suffering & struggling, AGAIN. Doesn't have to be this way. I'm south of Houston, my only "Child" OIF Veteran. Sending Your Brother, & You, my best Wishes, & goood Vibes as We overcome these challenges. Y'all take Care. ✌🏼💙✊🏼💙🙏🏼💙🐾

100% Abbott fault. Abbott fled for vacation when the hurricane was coming and refused to come back early. He is in Japan right now.

My son lives in Sienna Plantation neighborhood, near Sugarland and they got their electricity back at 2ish Friday, if that helps you.🙏🙏🙏

@@jward95 did you hear him .."oh yeah the power"🤔🙄🤷🙆🤦

Not the Governor. The real governor is on vacation

They trying to get texa to riot so they can enforcement some real laws thats why they sent cops out there instead of people to fix yall broken power lines

Absolutely agree!

Oh she’s done!!

She’s been a nightmare

Dora must leave the adventure... 👋

Harris County is the largest county in Houston and has done a great job in these situations. dan patrick and many other "good ole boys" with money and influence wants control of downtown Houston and this is just another way of them trying to get her out and put their guy in. It's already been done with whitmire who ran as a Democrat but is clearly a republican plant put in place to make Harris County red because it's actually purple so there are limits to what they can do

He couldn't care less

I promise you he doesn't

These people care about their wallet not about fellow Texans.

He is giving the facts. Biden and Hidalgo have been lying to the people.

The worst part is Abbott fled the country with the VP of Centerpoint to do a PR tour in Asia and has refused to come back. They are in Japan right now having fun and going to fancy dinners.

I HAVE BEEN A LOT OF HURRICANS,THAT WAS JUST A SIMPLE STORM. GENIU😂😂😂

Absolutely a Cat 2

Yea we do but at some point you have to see we are being played

I'm with ya but you better believe illegals aren't doing without

I'm 67 and in the same boat pretty much

FEMA will not give food. Only help for food is to contact the Houston Food Bank. Please do so.

Medicine that needs to be refrigerated ==== That is a priority . Food and medicine. First responders should have been organized for this. . Whoever Dan Patrick organized for that . Who were/ or who are they ?. I am not talking about fire,police or ambulance either. I am talking about this braggart Texan

@@christinerisden5799 You are responsible for securing your medicine. Centerpoint is responsible for electrical things. Be mad at them. Next, be mad at your County Judge. They are reasonable for your county. Place the blame where it needs to be. Your County Judge should have been asking for things from the State and the State would have given it to them. One can’t be given anything, if it hasn’t been asked for…

I watched today's PUC Hearing in Austin.. They were "sending thoughts & prayers" to those of US effected. They looked nice, well dressed, freshly showered even, sitting in the air conditioned, well-lit Hearing room. How nice for them.

Yes, the new CEO from California was negotiating with out of state contractors and putting profit over people in a time of crisis.

Exactly! What was the basis of the outcome of all this??? Get the power back on!!!!!!!

Thank God I got sick several times yesterday bc of 95 deg temps

These are things all states should have but no-taxation Texas is in short supply and payback is a You-know-what!

Seems to be more and more the case one might say we are being played

That guy who pistol whipped the employee WAS SUFFERING FROM HEAT SICKNESS MOST LIKELY 😢 GREG ABBOTTS PENSION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIVES!!!!!!

Same here. We got power back only yesterday. Hope you can get power soon. Be safe

@@starrbright6803 SW Houston as well. Those numbers of those with power are ALL LIES

Lord have Mercy. I completely agree with Your 1st paragraph. I lost 3 fridges full of Food, & this time depleted alot of my "Storm Supplies" of canned Foods & bottled Water. While I have appreciated the Houston mayor throughout this latest crisis, I was completely shocked at the "ACTING gov" dan patrick, today. I watched the 1hr presser in Austin LIVE .. he was arrogant, condescending, dismissive, & misleading. HE was the only 1 "POLITICIZING" this disaster. While over a million PEOPLE in HOUSTON were without power (& many w/o Water) for the 4th day, 100°+ heat indexes, patrick said, "We're GOOD.." & "WE don't NEED Joe Biden's generators!" He threw alot of blame & accusations around. Never heard him take ANY responsibility, or express REAL CONCERN for fellow Texans suffering & struggling & losing HOPE. I was stunned at his lack of awareness & COMPASSION. & I felt sad & insulted. He thinks Texans are stupid. Wishing You & Yours the best, as We meet these challenges. Take Care. ✌🏼💙✊🏼💙🙏🏼💙🐾

@@ggbythesea9231 I’m sorry you felt that way and for the challenges you are facing. I think the Lt. Governor has a great deal of compassion. I also think that he’s feeling the stress, worry, and downright angry how the press is portraying everything. Can you imagine working 12-16 hour days and all you hear and see are lies about everything? He’s trying to get everything the people of Texas need, but is being met with resistance. He was almost crying about that young deputy that was gunned down. Our peace officers are hurting. I’ve talked to Harris County Deputies. They feel underpaid, left out, and downright abused by their superiors and by the Harris County DA and management. I was told that they arrest criminals and the DA refuses the charges, so they have to let them go. The County Judge is power hungry, mean, and acts superior. Look at how she acts at the funerals of our fallen peace officers. She puts herself over their families. Those families deserve nothing but respect. In my opinion, the ones you need to direct your ire to is the upper management of Centerpoint. The lineman are doing their best, but the upper Management chose not to make the infrastructure improvements. It’s money over people with them. I read an article the other day that said they were already being fined for inappropriate practices. So, it’s just business as usual for them. They have even had the nerve to apply for a rate hike. They also want money for the repairs from the tornado. I think they need to be on their own. They chose not to improve things. That’s on them and their management. I read the CEO makes $1.1 Million dollars per year. Plus, you know he’s not sitting in the heat with spoiled food. God Bless you and I hope things improve for you, quickly. As to the generator situation, he explained that in this video. None of those generators could have gone directly to the citizens and they take forever to get in place and up running. I’ve seen the generators that are running the traffic lights. I didn’t know they were from the Emergency Management agency. That’s good to know.

That would mean that we would actually receive help. THAT is not priority for them!!! THIS is a money grab at OUR expense. How many trucks/workers have you seen 🤔??? Exactly. Pure Evil!!!!

Exactly smhh

None

@@dashingnurse5098 not one truck

Lobbying for Israel last I checked

Cancun?

🤭

In California

He is on vacation just like Ted Cruz did when we needed him.

Shut up what does that have to do with anything ?!

This is mainly up to Centerpoint, not every freaking moment has to be about power

​@@davidleyt1060 until you don't have power

Dora

That’s exactly what he supposed to do. He is updating the public.

Liar

@@MsAlien911Your name speaks volumes 😂😂😂

Lies after lies, who owns Center Point ?

What does President Biden have to do with what’s going on in Texas? Dan Patrick is a liar and trying to deflect his lack of action. Be a leader Dan instead of passing the buck

@@starrbright6803 SW Houston as well 🙄

Maybe you should hear them out. Your inability to listen to others prevents you from hearing facts.

🤣🤣. You can not even get sleepy joe out. How you going to do this????

​@kodywalker9902 they failied us again

La porte also this is some bs games

@@stanhill-yg5zi Same down here in Dickinson.

@@DavidHenry-d3t we are being played

What is he going to do. He is more useful meeting with presidents and CEOs to get us more jobs.

Schmoozing Taiwan billionaires

Do you really need the governor to hold your hand???? Everything that needs to be done is being done. People are working around the clock to do what needs to be done. Be patient

He doesn't do anything for Texas. He only does things for himself. Don't believe the hype. This guy is on vacation and gave Texans the middle finger.

I rather hear this guy rather than abbot

That's what they always do. We're still waiting for help from Harvey.

Your talking out of your A$S

Drunk on power, but can't get power in people homes. Don't mess with Texas, Beryrl had other ideas.

🤡

All electric should be underground

Previous storms they gave out food and other resources. Very odd so many people without power and food and haven't heard anything about MRE and water distribution.

I was just thinking that. Where is FEMA and state help? Oh wait they were useless in other hurricanes too. Everyone on its own as always for ordinary citizens while the rich jumped on their private planes and flew off to their other mansions.

His own wallet is more important than Texans

He was smiling happy in Taiwan 😢

Acting means pretending to be someone you're not.

@@REDPR poor acting at that

That was truly shocking to me during this press conference. Condescending, arrogant, dismissive, NO Compassion for struggling Texans. The director of TDEM also lost my Respect today, with his CYA insinuations, just short of blaming & accusing like dan patrick did in this same 1 hr press conference. I've said it earlier today, THEY think Texans are stupid. We are NOT. We KNOW when We're being lied to & manipulated. Please take Care. ✌🏼💙✊🏼💙🙏🏼💙🐾

Where are you? Cleveland TX got power last night. End of Day 4.

Brazoria county

@JohnnyBone95 ok we were Liberty. Centerpoint or Entergy?

Falling for the fear mongering money scheme.

Destroy HARP AND GREED

Hilarious 😂

Why? Our neighborhood has underground

💯 %

He’s always had that. I wondered the first time I saw him.

​@@kodywalker9902oh ok I didn't know. Thank you. When Pastor Paul Begley did it live, it was a stroke

They are too busy letting people cross the border to be concerned with any of that nonsense.
