It's Friday, July 11th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Wadaday, the show wishing Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy the best, as he takes on also being the interim administrator of NASA.

Of course, he's no Marco Rubio, who is Secretary of State, supposed acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development,

acting archivist for the National Archives, interim national security advisor, and also should really finish picking up my dry cleaning.

On today's show, a federal judge in New Hampshire blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to end

birthright citizenship after a class action challenge. And retiring Republican North Carolina

Senator Tom Tillis unloads during a CNN exclusive interview. But let's start with the massive

floods in central Texas that have so far killed at least 120 people. President Trump is

scheduled to arrive today to offer thoughts and prayers and hopefully not

reflexively sort of blame the flood damage on former President Joe Biden again.

But I'm not counting on it, because we've gotten to my least favorite part of any horrible

disaster, the blame game.

And honestly, with some good reason, from the National Weather Service to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, many of the institutions tasked with every step of disaster mitigation have faced massive staffing cuts under the Trump administration. So, sorry, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, but using a football metaphor isn't really going to help you here.

Who's to blame? Know this. That's the word choice of losers. Let me explain one thing about Texas.

And that is, Texas, every square inch of our state cares about football. You could be in Hunt, Texas, Huntsville, Texas, Houston, Texas, any size community that care about football.

High school, Friday Night Lights, college football, or pro.

And know this.

Every football team makes mistakes.

The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who's to blame.

The championship teams are the ones that say, don't worry about it, man, we got this.

Don't worry about it? More than 100 people don't die after a football game. People's kids, spouses,

grandparents, and friends don't die after a football game.

And nearly 200 people are still missing in Kerr County alone, which experienced the brunt of the floods over the 4th of July weekend.
