Andre and Sal discuss the ongoing recovery efforts in Texas following devastating floods and the current state of the U.S. economy. The MO2 duo began by highlighting the severe nature of the Texas floods, emphasizing that the situation is a recovery effort rather than a rescue, with over 100 fatalities and many more missing, including a family from Kentfield in Marin County. They dive into the crucial role of external aid, like the 27 rescue personnel from California, and the tragic revelation that a flood emergency plan for Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors died, was approved just two days before the disaster but not yet implemented. 

The conversation then shifts to the broader economic landscape, touching upon declining retail sales despite events like Amazon Prime Day, and the Federal Reserve's reluctance to lower interest rates amidst uncertain economic times. The episode concluded with a brief discussion on consumer spending habits and the importance of disaster preparedness, drawing parallels to past California disasters and the ongoing efforts to retrofit infrastructure.
