TV TRANSCRIPT: "Morning Report" for 8 June 2029
Aired June 8, 2029 – 06:34 ET THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY IS NOT IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. CHRISTIAN TOBER, CNN-A INTERNATIONAL NEWS ANCHOR: And this just in at the top of the half hour – the President of the United States has finally touched down in Washington, D.C. after a series of air assaults broke out overnight in Galveston, Texas. Good morning to our viewers; this is “Morning Report.” I’m Christian Tober. Before we discuss the headlines for Tuesday, June 8th, 2029, a follow-up to our top story of the day: the Galveston Peace Talks Air Raids. Details have been difficult to come by in the early morning hours, but we have CNN-A’s very own Lorraine Jang with us in Washington. Lorraine? LORRAINE JANG, CNN-A WHITE HOUSE NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Christian. Air Force One just landed after hours of what I can only describe as an airborne hostage situation as we attempted to escape and evade aggressive attacks from the Texan government only hours after landing in the goodwill port of Galveston. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE: A series of air raid montages made barely discernible by a night vision filter. In some shots, landmarks such as Galveston’s historical district are rendered recognizable shortly before being vaporized with a flash of white-and-green light. On the whole, however, it’s mostly a collection of grainy helicopters and tiny explosions in the distance.) JANG (voice-over): At 10:43 pm local time last night, President Edwards and Secretary of State Frederick Pinault were heading a joint address to Friedman and the Republican Council following a state dinner at the historic Samuel May Williams Home. Shortly following the introduction of the President, gun fire was heard from the dock adjacent to the house. Although the President was escorted from the premises shortly afterward, it wasn’t before actual gun fire rang through the Samuel May Williams Home itself. The President and the rest of her motorcade were immediately escorted to the Galveston Municipal Airport for immediate evacuation, which is roughly when I remember the start of the actual air raids occurring— TOBER (voice-over): There were bombings en route? JANG (voice-over): Yes; I think they started at 11:15, 11:30? Admittedly, everything was beginning to blur together at this point; at this point, we were wondering whether or not the gunshots had signified a simple assassination attempt when the missiles started falling. We had no idea that this was going to foreshadow the evening ahead— TOBER (voice-over):: Which was Air Force One’s subsequent take-off within the window between the first raid and the subsequent air-battle in Galveston and Houston between yesterday evening and this morning, right? That’s what the news desk reported as of 3am ET. JANG (voice-over): That’s correct, Christian. (END VIDEOTAPE) TOBER: We’ll get more information as it comes. Thank you, Lorraine. We’ll be back after the break. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) |
