We have a lot of breaking news to cover and no time to waste. So let's just start here. The death toll

from the catastrophic flooding in Texas is 67 at the time of recording this video as dozens

and dozens of more people are missing. Searches are ongoing in the area and the National

Weather Service has elaborated a bit more on what people believe has gone wrong. Yesterday, Texas officials came out

in the day press conference in which they pretty explicitly said, hey, the National Weather Service

dropped the ball. We failed to get alerts in a lot of the key areas. And this directly led to people

being unprepared. And I keep making the distinction. We can't control the weather. Nobody can stop

natural disasters, but we do have mechanisms in place that we've built through decades and decades

of scientific research that help humans prevent being affected by these or caught up in these.

There are warnings from meteorologists and professionals who coordinate

on a daily basis to make sure everyone's safe, but anti-scientific, anti-intellectual politicians

have torn that away, and we're going to talk about that throughout this video. Can I just

start here? When we want to talk about anti-intellectualism, there is a Georgia congressional candidate who's going full-on conspiracy mode saying this is, quote, fake, fake, fake.

This person is running to represent a district in Georgia.

And I know Georgia would never elect a crazy MAGA congresswoman.

Just joking.

We're going to talk about Marjorie Taylor Green in just one second.

No offense to the Georgia fans here.

But a Georgia congressional candidate chose to use the deadly flash floods along the Guadalupe

River in Texas as the basis for several conspiracy posts on Saturday that centered around straight theories.

Her name is Candace Taylor, and she posted this to X.

Fake weather, fake hurricane, fake flooding, fake, fake, fake, fake.
