Over 220 Americans dead from Hurricane Helene. Hundreds still missing and loved ones crying in agony.
Cadaver dogs have joined search and rescue crews to sniff out bodies stuck under structures.
1 North Carolina woman lost her parents
and her seven-year-old.
I was stuck there for a very long time in the water,
and I was, you know, held down by roots and trees.
And in that moment, you know, in the midst of the chaos, all I heard was God telling me to be still and to stop fighting the water. Your son Micah,
7 years old, from what I've been told, you're wearing 1 of his T-shirts. You called him a superhero.
Yes, he wanted to be Deadpool for Halloween, and in his honor, I wore it today for him.
Micah man. Tell us about Micah
and
the legacy that he's going to leave on this earth. This moment.
You know, I'm so proud of my son because in his last moments he wasn't screaming for me.
He was screaming, Jesus,
Jesus, save me. Jesus, I hear you. Jesus, I'm calling upon you. And his
wildest dreams and everything that he wanted to be was a superhero.
And that was his goal in life. And instead he's my hero because
he reached for something
past fleshed,
past human, past anything that even grown adults, I think, would reach for. My son called out to the 1 God Almighty.
And I think at that moment he was rescued and he became my hero.
Helene's the third deadliest hurricane in American history, right behind Katrina and Sandy.
If you survived,
you're living without food, power, a roof over your head, and you're begging for help.
We're not getting the amount of support that we need. We haven't seen FEMA. We haven't seen Red Cross. We haven't seen heartless with hands. We've seen no agencies come through here. Most people drive through with their cameras out, filming us like we're animals in a zoo,
and don't stop. How could the government do us like this? And how could the whole country just forget about us? Like,
it's not enough. What is being done is not enough. I mean, there are entire communities that have been just decimated.
There is, I mean, where is our f***ing government?
I mean, for Kamala, and I was, I am
an avid supporter
for her to stand in Florida today and make, I mean, Make a statement. Where is our government?
Sources say over a thousand troops in North Carolina are just sitting around doing nothing,
waiting for orders that haven't come.
They haven't heard from the North Carolina governor and the Biden administration's
blocking ongoing rescue operations.
They're in the way. They are
directly interrupting our ability to conduct missions and operations
and I'm not going to disparage anybody because we are trying to work with in partner relationships, both government and non government entities within state and federal and county.
I went to put a couple of people into a hotel last night, and they have a security guard at the hotel. They said, oh, we're so sorry. The entire hotel has been booked
for federal employees. And I was like, No, I have people that would just pull it out of a mountain
that are living out in the hills and there's not a place for me to put them because we have federal employees that are staying in the hotel. I slept in this white car last night. I smell like foot and death right now, as does every single person on our team. The hurricane left thousands homeless and the federal government saying sorry can't stay here. No vacancy.
This is like when FEMA plopped down at the 4 seasons during the Maui fires. Remember that
and Mayor Pete won't let anybody fly drones to scout for survivors.
It's against
regulation. There's also some safety issues that come up. For example,
temporary flight restrictions to make sure that the airspace is clear for any
flights
or drone activity that might be
involved in helping to
allow those emergency responders to do their job. Tiny drones aren't getting in the way of anything. This is all hands on deck.
What does Mayor Pete embarrassed that private crews are IDing survivors faster than the feds?
Biden shut down the entire sky just for a look-see.
Yesterday for President Biden's, you know, dog and pony show to come in and see photos, he put a 30-mile
TFR, which is basically a restriction, in the air zone, which means that he actually stopped from 12 o'clock until 1600 4 p.m. He stopped air traffic and helos from transferring supplies,
dropping SAR teams, picking up individuals from medevacs. So that was not only irresponsible, but if you're gonna come a week later, at least make sure that you're not trying to hinder in any way further the actual operations that are being led by civilian organizations and veterans such as myself and others that are trying to do what is right. And so I found the entire response so far to be not just lacking, but irresponsible and inept.
Americans drowned while Biden was at the beach and Kamala was at California fundraisers.
But they come in 567
days later, and they say they're doing a heck of a job.
Bush flew over Katrina and hit the ground 3 days later,
and his presidency never recovered.
When the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast extended their hand for help,
help was not there. We can talk about
levies that couldn't hold, about a FEMA that seemed not just incompetent
but paralyzed and powerless, about a president who only saw the people from the window of an airplane
instead of down here on the ground,
trying to provide comfort and aid.
I covered Katrina and Sandy as a producer, and the entire federal government stopped and focused everything it had on the natural disaster.
Kamala Harris is in Wisconsin today campaigning with Liz Cheney.
North Carolina
is living in the dark
because Biden and Harris hate Elon Musk.
They stopped paying for his Starlink,
which would have given internet to everybody
in the hurricane's path,
and now nobody can communicate.
Elon says it would have probably saved lives.
The White House spent $42
billion to wire rural America with internet. And nobody has internet in the foothills of North Carolina. Nobody.
Biden and Harris had to be jaw boned into loosening the purse strings.
When the first emergency
declarations came down, There was only 11 counties in that. A lot of people were outraged, including me, because there was such devastation
in, you know, up to 90 counties.
So we called the White House. We spoke to the president's chief of staff, the FEMA administrator, and said, look, you're sending the signal
that you're not paying attention to some of these rural communities.
Communities underwater and the federal government all of a sudden has alligator
arms. Usually they just print money.
Now they're tossing you $750
and saying, get yourself something nice.
The federal relief and assistance that we have been providing
has included
FEMA providing $750
for folks who need immediate needs being met. The Biden-Harris administration has spent hundreds of billions of dollars overseas.
We give more money to our enemies,
a half a billion to the Palestinians,
6000000000 to the Iranians,
or even here.
We spent a half a million dollars for an anti-racist
oyster reef in AOC's district.
She lives in Queens.
They're not even fresh.
$750
per person in America.
After you lost your entire home, all of your belongings,
and you have no food, power, or water.
Where's the money?
We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds
to make it through the season.
So, where'd the money go?
In the last 2 years, the Biden-Harris administration
spent
a billion dollars of FEMA money on illegal aliens.
A billion dollars. So foreigners had free hotel rooms and culturally appropriate food,
which they threw in the garbage.
We bought them Xboxes.
This doesn't even include taxpayer-funded
college tuition for illegals or illegal alien sex changes.
When American citizens, the ones who were born here and pay taxes, deserve help,
Biden and Harris are saying, oh, sorry, we gave it all away to the people who broke into the country.
We just found out last week that half a million of the migrants here are criminals,
rapists,
convicted murderers.
And the Biden-Harris administration
gave
people like that money before they gave hurricane victims money.
This was Trump just moments ago. Listen.
...And all
her FEMA money, billions of dollars,
on housing for illegal migrants,
many of whom should not be in our country,
including 1000000000 for gift cards for illegal aliens and putting them up in luxury hotels,
with a gift card,
with a gift card to welcome them to America,
as our veterans are sleeping on the sidewalks
below those hotels
and they're being walked into luxury hotels.
This is probably 1 of the biggest scandals of the Biden administration and there's been many.
This scandal is criminal
because people are dead
and more people will die today, tomorrow, over the weekend.
Kamala Harris just doesn't have the right priorities.
She wants hurricane victims given resources
based on their gender and skin color.
It is our
lowest income communities and our communities of color
that are most
impacted
by these extreme conditions
and impacted by
issues that are not of their own making. And so
we... Absolutely.
And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities.
If these were Democrat precincts, would Kamala handle this the same way?
I'm not even sure it's fair to speculate, but Republican counties have been the hardest hit, and there's an election coming up.
How are people going to vote if their polling places and mailboxes are obliterated?
But
voting secondary, safety is the number 1 priority. And we're not saying there's an agenda, but why has the federal response been so inadequate?
And Hollywood doesn't care.
Where's George Clooney raising money?
Where's the telethon?
Same thing happened in East Palestine. Same thing happens when a migrant brutalizes a little girl. Silence.
People who weaponize virtue
have nothing to say when 5 states get wiped out.
We'd like all Americans,
wherever you live,
wherever you are, to please donate to the Red Cross.
Every little bit helps.
Because when the federal government doesn't come through, it's up to you and I and all of us to help our brothers and sisters out.
