  1. Maybe Ukraine could come save them since that's where all our emergency response funds all went. Or how about the illegals could share some of there 1400 a month free front money or the 3000 a month food stamps could help out all the
    AMERICANS in AMERICA that are being displaced by this flooding. 🤔 wouldn't that make them refugees now

  2. 3:35 i think about the fact that shes talking about how she just lost everything she worked for & theres a down american flag in the very next frame, as people are talking about the lack of response really says alot.

  3. so anyway FEMA is there and I said so why are you guys here?
    they were like
    (we took a van, there were 10 of us in this van and we were going back to the food distribution point and everybody's looking
    out the windows and seeing stuff and I said, whoa hold on turn turn around you guys see the FEMA truck?
    everybody, I didn't see the FEMA truck. yeah it's it's tucked back in the corner behind this I don't know uh, Michaels that is
    closed and uh so we went into the . . . like cops everywhere food is on the other side, like a Lowe's you know garden shop,
    and all the attention when you drive in, all the attention is over there because people are going to get food because THEY DONT HAVE ANY FOOD, but behind the Michaels uh that's been closed and I think next to the chuckecheese which was so busy, no, THEY WERE CLOSED TOO!
    was under a tree this FEMA truck and I said, so what are you guys doing here? well we're we're getting everybodY to sign up for the the aid.
    okay, all right um, they're you know, the crowd is down there there's only one person at your table . . .
    yeah I know but that's because we haven't really announced where we are yet
    and I'm thinking that's probably good, um but I said, what do you mean? and he said well um our Flyers haven't arrived yet so
    we're waiting for our own Flyers that say FEMA is here.
    I'm like, oh Flyers, we didn't think of that flyer thing uh we just went went you know to where everybody is and then we didn't need flyers,
    but I didn't say that. at this point I was like don't say anything at all, don't say anything at all, and he said well we you just have to
    be where the people are. and I said that's good and I'm
    thinking that's not here you know, when do you move there. and I said, so um so you're doing this with the Flyers and he said,
    no, we also, you know we're going to tell the media and radio, television it'll be everywhere.
    and I thought, hmm, I don't see a lot of people sitting down in their living rooms, BECAUSE THEIR LIVING ROOMS HAVE WASHED DOWN THE STREET WITH THIER TELEVISIONS IN IT! um you know maybe they have a little portable television that they just have to plug in. oh no, they don't have any power. and I said you know they, they're probably not watching TV. he said but yeah but the word wILL get around. uh okay, all right umm, and he said,
    you know there's an app, this is the greatest app this app will do everything and all they have to do is just download it on their phone.
    and Corey said well they you know they don't really have power to plug their phones in. he said yeah but a lot of people can just go to their cars and plug the phone into the car to charge it.
    we pointed out to him, you mean the cars like right, turn around see that River see all the cars that are in the creek now that are destroyed, you mean they're sitting in those cars,
    because they no longer have cars that's that's what was happening in my head, I just said umm and uh uh, he said but we have to be where the people are and I said well if the people don't come out and he said well then we go door too and I'm thinking that's good because THEY DON'T HAVE DOORS! and I said when do you do that? and he said well that's above my pay grade you know it's a government so you know I I don't have that information. is there anybody here that does have that? yeah my boss. where where's your boss? sitting at the table? no uh, uh in the air conditioned truck. RIGHT!! now she's in the
    air conditioned truck. oh good can you can you maybe go get your boss you know, tell her, you know, she'll have to come out here where it's hot, you know but she can go right back into the air conditioned truck where she can get away from all of these people. and so she comes out, she was a delightful lady, and we said, when you . . . he didn't know when you start going door, and she looked at him and she said we don't go door. you don't go door to door? no we're here where it's all happening. and I looked at Corey and Corey looked at me and, we're like, it's not happening here this isn't where people are I mean if you want to be a little closer to where people are going, you should go where the food is. yeah well we were talking about that today. oh okay good, good good. and the truck doesn't really work yet but we're still gathering information because that oh the relief that these
    people can get oh it's it's really it's just amazing I
    bet it is uh and then I just started to back away from this oh I don't even know murder scene it was just so ugly uh and
    I just started backing away and Cory looked at me and just smiled and uh he's like thank you for your time, and he said boy I've never seen you so quiet and I was like I don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all you don't want to know what I was thinking in my head
    it was so offensive but that was the FEMA in action.

  4. FEMA has spent let me see… I want to get these right FEMA has spent $1.4 billion dollar on immigrants,
    illegals. 1.4 billion dollars on rehousing flying these illegals in without your knowledge
    we paid for all of it 174.2 billion okay and how much can I ask how much?
    it was $750 and in Hawaii they got $700 so $700 in Hawaii, $750 but don't worry that's going to
    be very helpful. they just lost everything!!
    it's embarrassing as a nation, it is embarrassing.
    by the way the electric vehicle Chargers where they have put two, uh that's $7.5 billion.
    the high-speed internet which didn't happen, we spent $42.45 billion dollars.
    on a surprisingly quiet hurricane season, they're out of money
    first of all I'd like to remind the government, no you're not, you print money all the time.
    this is the one time where . . . you're like Gosh guys if we print more money, man it'll just cause inflation
    it'll be really bad really really bad and besides the printing presses are booked for the next month and a half cuz
    we're printing so much money for Iran and Ukraine.

  5. so this interview with FEMA that was
    recorded doesn't make me look real good because I'm
    I'm just very quiet because I really was just like don't don't don't don't
    whatever it is you're thinking Glenn (Beck) don't!

    we went up to them and they were sitting under this tree at a card table with folding chairs they were all
    in their FEMA vests and I had just been where people were moving water moving
    food trying to help people you know… so they were way off in this parking lot all by themselves and sitting
    under a tree with some folding chairs and uh dressed with the FEMA workers outfits and I said hey what are you guys
    doing here the guy said well you know we just got here last night and
    I said oh really
    yeah so we couldn't do anything when we got here last night so today's really our first day but wow it took us a
    lot longer to get here than we thought and I'm thinking yeah like 7 days longer than you would have thought
    and he said uh it's hard to get here
    no crap this is this is when I start shutting down after he says you know it's really hard to get here
    I'm like you're FEMA that should have been quite obvious. and I said so so what are you doing here and he said
    well uh as soon as we get the truck up and running
    I noticed that the air conditioning was running inside the truck which was good for them
    and he said soon as we get this all up and running we're taking people's information right now so we can you know that
    satellite up there just beams all the information right to Washington so we can get them registered so they can get
    some Aid.
    and I just was thinking oh good just what people need red tape and paperwork yeah cuz we'll get that check
    right to them in their mailbox. They Don't Have any Mail Boxes!!
    but that wasn't the end of it it got much much worse.
    FEMA is on the ground in two places that we saw that one which is doing nothing and the other one where they've just built some showers
    not not for the people but for the volunteers that are there to help.
    FEMA is Despicable

  6. Hurricane Helene and all its consequences is about The Most High's vengeance upon America (USA) for all the evils ever done to His covenanted-chosen people (so-called Blacks enslaved 400+ years, the true Jews) on OUR land, by our oppressors & captors. No sundown-town survivor of Hurricane Helene has acknowledged it being their karma (for them & their ancestors) on camera, yet. Greater punishments will continue to happen until the debt is fully paid, DOUBLE. The Most High keeps accurate records and all His promises, and always avenges us, His covenanted-chosen people.

    She, America (USA), shall receive double punishment for all her wickedness. "Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much for her." Revelation 18:6 (NLT)

    "See, I am your enemy, you arrogant people, says the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Your day of reckoning has arrived—the day when I will punish you." Jeremiah 50:31 (NLT)

    "This will ensure that the land where you live will not be polluted, for murder pollutes the land. And no sacrifice except the execution of the murderer can purify the land from murder."

    Numbers 35:33 (NLT)

    "If Esau's descendants, the Edomites, say, "Our towns have been destroyed, but we will rebuild them," then the LORD will reply, "Let them rebuild–I will tear them down again. People will call them 'The evil country' and 'The nation with whom the LORD is angry forever." Malachi 1:4 (Good News Translation)

    "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow." Galatians 6:7 (New Revised Standard Version)

    All praises to The Most High Power of the true Jews.

  7. I don’t understand why the damage was so bad and this is a first world country? I live in the Caribbean and multiple hurricanes rampage through our islands yearly but I’ve never been displaced by flooding or houses crashing down. The worst I’ve seen is that we may lose power/clean water for some time

  8. Dont u claim to be journalists?? Shouldn't ur reporters be on the ground? Ud realize the death toll is MUCH HIGHER but ur covering for Harris
