Welcome to meet the press. Now I'm Kristen Welker. We begin with breaking news. Right now, President Trump is holding a roundtable in flood ravaged central Texas. He saw some of the damage firsthand

and met with first responders and local officials.

The president's trip comes one week

after those devastating flash floods,

which killed at least 121 people

with more than 160 still missing.

The president discussed the massive scope

of the disaster and praised the first responders.

Look.

The First Lady and I are here in Texas to express the love and support and the anguish of our entire nation in the aftermath of this really horrific and deadly flood.

Nobody has any idea how and why a thing like this could happen.

And by the way, I have to tell you, the people here, first responders, the sheriff's office,

all of the police, law enforcement, they've done an unbelievable job.

And in speaking to the parents,

they said to everybody has been so professional. Now we also heard from First Lady Melania

Trump who toured the damage alongside the president. We just met with the wonderful families.

We pray with them. We hug. We hold hands. They shared the stories. And I met beautiful young ladies. They gave me this special bracelet from the camp in honor of all of the little girls that they lost their lives. So we are here to honor them and also to give the support, help, and I will be back. I promise to them, and I just pray for them and giving them my strength and love.

Bad person would ask a question like that.

We're going to dip back into this event.

Here's President Trump answering questions.

I think this has been heroism.

This has been incredible, really, the job you've all done.
