Texas will not stop until we finish the job.

We will not stop until we identify, recover every single body.

Will not stop until every road is rebuilt.

Every inch of debris is removed.

We will not stop because we are a state that cares about our people, cares about our communities,

and we'll be with them every step of the way.

That was Texas Governor Greg Abbott yesterday in Currville.

The death toll in central Texas is rising as a staggering number of people are still missing. Now five days

since the historic flooding in that area. We'll bring you the latest with a live report in just a moment.

And it comes as we're seeing more severe weather turned deadly in other parts of the country.

This video is out of southern New Mexico, which is under a state of emergency this morning.

Also ahead, President Trump is promising more military aid to Ukraine in response to his

growing frustration with Vladimir Putin. We'll look at whether the move can push the Russian

president any closer to a peace deal. And we'll show you the moment President Trump

tried to shut down questions about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as Attorney

General Pam Bondi's explanation for a missing minute of surveillance video from outside Epstein's

prison cell. Good morning. And welcome welcome to Morning Joe. It is Wednesday, July 9th, along with Joe and me. We have the co-host of our fourth hour contributing writer at the Atlantic, Jonathan Lemire, with us this morning. We begin in Texas Hill Country, a community that is now mourning the deaths of at least 110 people,

30 of them children, after flash floods ravaged the region late last week. Today, five days

after those deadly storms, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says more than 160 people are still missing in the Kerr County area alone,

which saw some of the worst of the fatal flooding. But the governor vows not to give up the search.

Know this. We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for.

Know this also.
