![]() THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm very humbled by that, coming from you, Storme. And I think you put it into words perfectly, Mr. Even though people were scared and running around and trying to figure things out, the first thought on everybody's mind was like, what could we do to help? Where do we need to go? Are you okay? I'm not okay where could I get help?Īnd it was there in so many different ways from pickup trucks, to stretchers made out of bike racks to - I mentioned this the other day - and I said, it is weird to think that there is a silver lining on such a horrific event, but I think that's it. There was a sense of true needing to provide safety and comfort for people. ![]() There was a never a sense of true panic there. ![]() Q: And I think you're very accurate because we witnessed it firsthand - the compassion and the selflessness that was going on all around us. And the President and the First Lady saw that yesterday and that gives us hope and it gives us strength. But I must tell you that we also draw hope from the courage, the selflessness of the American people.Īnd as I read the stories, as we hear the accounts - I know the President was deeply moved, along with the First Lady yesterday meeting with victims, meeting with first responders - to hear that one story after another of selfless heroism people who put themselves in harm's way, without regard to their personal safety people that saved lives the way our first responders moved so quickly, so immediately - it is one of those moments, I believe, Storme - and the President believes, as well - where when we see the worst among the American people, our best comes out. We mourn with those who mourn, it says, we grieve with those who grieve but we do not grieve like those who have no hope. And God bless you and everyone who was present, the victims that are recovering from injuries and of course the families of those that we lost.īut I have to tell you, we find comfort in our family in the Good Book. I can't, for the life of me, imagine what it was like to be there, Storme. It was - like every American, my family was shocked and saddened by news of the events in Las Vegas. And so this is really important to have this conversation with you, and I can't thank you for giving your time, enough.īut the first thing, like when the event was happening, and the question we all had in our minds was, what is happening? Did you have that same thought as you heard the news breaking? And I think at this point, coming from the White House and coming from Washington, is a place we're really targeting our focus right now. I've broken them down to the best of my ability, and I think at this point, we're all looking for just some voices of reassurance - voices of comfort - in this. ![]() Different experiences but I think it's the same emotions. Vice President, we're all still kind of reeling from it - those of us who were there and those of us who just watched on television. ![]() THE VICE PRESIDENT: Storme, it's my great honor to be on your program and thank you for your courage, for your compassion, and your voice in this very, very difficult time since the tragic events of Sunday night. It's Storme Warren with "The Highway." It is an honor to speak to you this morning. ![]()
