单集文稿 ...

  • You have your job, but you also have a life.

  • And you're not just one thing.

  • Neither is the Here and Now Anytime podcast.

  • Every weekday, we break down the biggest story of the day and something else,

  • like a new trend everyone's talking about.

  • It's Here and Now Anytime, a daily podcast from NPR and WBUR.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Chiavone.

  • President Trump was in Central Texas today where he surveyed the destruction left behind by catastrophic flooding there.

  • Steve Futterman reports.

  • The president said the extent of the loss here is overwhelming.

  • Dozens and dozens of precious children taken from us with such,

  • I looked at the pictures of almost all of them and it's terrible.

  • But he got angry when a reporter asked whether earlier alerts might have saved lives.

  • Only a bad person would ask a question like that.

  • It's easy to sit back and say, oh, what could have happened here or there, you know?

  • Maybe we could have done something differently.

  • This was a thing that has never happened before.

  • Later, however,

  • Trump did acknowledge that an alert system needs to be put in place to make sure a similar tragedy doesn't happen again.

  • For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Kerrville, Texas.
