California sheriff demolishes Governor Newsom and the woke agenda. This is the kind of leadership we need: https://t.co/Fr6CPqVpOs
Video Transcript AI Summary
California's public safety is in crisis due to a radical progressive agenda fraudulently called criminal justice reform. This agenda began with AB 109, forcing county jails to house state inmates and releasing felons early, pushing jails to near collapse. Prop 47, a complete fraud, changed felonies to misdemeanors, basically legalized drug use, and increased petty theft limits. Prop 57 tricked voters into releasing violent criminals.
Governor Newsom touts these as successes, while lawmakers refuse to fix their mistakes. Crimes are no longer crimes, allowing Newsom and Bonta to cite flawed data. Law enforcement has been unable to get the progressive left majority to consider laws that would increase punishment or send criminals to prison. The governor and attorney general refuse to prosecute criminals, instead focusing on disarming law-abiding citizens.
Current bills claiming to address theft are disingenuous, giving career criminals multiple chances before imprisonment. Newsom attacks a Target employee for not stopping theft instead of addressing the failed policies that enabled it. It's time to hold politicians accountable and acknowledge that some individuals choose to victimize others.

Speaker 0: Good morning. Chad Bianco, Riverside County Sheriff. We are here today because California public safety is in crisis. Crime is steadily on the rise, and our public safety policy is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation. I wanna make this clear, and I want there to be no mistake in what I am saying.
This is not by accident. The driving force in our crisis is a radical progressive agenda fraudulently called criminal justice reform. This is nothing short of a sick and twisted social experiment where law enforcement is the bad guy and criminals are somehow victims of society and not responsible for their actions, their crimes, or accountable to their countless victims. This agenda began with a passage of AB 109, the so called Public Safety Realignment Act. State government failed to take responsibility for prison overcrowding or their failure to build more prisons and instead forced county jails to house state inmates while simultaneously releasing thousands of felons early.
This has pushed our county jails to a near collapse and caused the early release of countless criminals. Thousands upon thousands of criminals are being released from custody early, crime is increasing, and our governor is closing prisons instead of building new ones. It defies common sense. In 2014, a complete fraud was perpetrated in California. The so called safe streets and safe schools initiative, prop 47, changed many felonies to misdemeanors, basically legalized drug use, and increased the amount of petty petty theft to nearly $1,000.
In 2016, another lie was perpetrated on voters with the naming and wording of prop 57, tricking voters into approving the release of thousands of violent criminals onto our streets and neighborhoods. This is why we are here. Everyone knows prop 47 and 57 are disasters, and yet governor Newsom adamantly touts it as a success, and lawmakers continue to refuse to fix their their mistake and the problems that they have created. When once crimes are no longer crimes, it allows governor Newsom and attorney general Bonta to cite completely flawed data points to support their failures. Californians are now suffering the consequences of a failed social agenda.
We are now at our breaking point and Californians have had enough. The lie of prop 47 has been exposed and the progressive love affair with criminals at the expense of victims has infuriated law abiding Californians. While we suffer every day with rampant theft causing our small businesses to close and our large box stores to move out of state, our super majority of lawmakers sit here in their guarded tower oblivious to what is going on in their communities experiencing drastic increases in all crimes, particularly violent crimes. Over the past 5 years, law enforcement has been unable to get our progressive left majority to even consider any new law or modification to an existing law that would increase punishment or send criminals to prison. Reality has gone completely upside down to the point our governor, our lawmakers, and our attorney general refused to prosecute criminals to include those criminals committing crimes with guns and instead have dedicated their efforts to disarm and remove constitutional protections of self defense from law abiding Californians.
We are in a very important election year, and the political silliness is surfacing all around us. The same super majority who refused any sort of tough on crime laws for the past several years are up for reelection. They are now claiming they are going to address our public safety crisis with new laws cracking down on crime. The problem is every one of their bills are disingenuous and hollow. For instance, one bill claims to address theft by lowering the felony limit back to $400.
Upon examination of the bill, you will find that it gives these career criminals 3 more chances to steal and be convicted before they are sentenced to prison. That is 3, a minimum of 3, more victims. We cannot turn on the news, read the newspaper, go to the grocery store, or open our businesses without being slapped in the face of reality that criminals have been emboldened by a lenient system that holds no consequence for criminal behavior. Instead of addressing the obvious, tone deaf governor Newsom attacks a Target employee for not stopping a criminal from fleeing the store instead of taking an honest look at the failed social experiment that he himself leads that allowed that theft to occur. It is time we wake up and hold our politicians accountable for what their bills, laws, and policies have caused.
It is time to return to a common sense approach to crime realizing and admitting that there are evil people who refuse to conform to a civilized society and instead choose to victimize the rest of us by stealing our property, robbing our stores, flooding our streets with drugs including fentanyl, breaking into our homes, murdering our children, and giving the middle finger to our justice system. Californians deserve better. I am proud to support lawmakers like Bill Assaley and several others who acknowledge that criminals are responsible for their actions, and they need to be held accountable. Thank you.

Video Transcript AI Summary
I was informed of my firing from FEMA verbally after a demotion, but I never received written confirmation. My team faced political hostility, particularly in areas with Trump campaign signs, leading us to avoid certain homes for safety. I did not vote in the last election due to deployment demands. My civilian job at Avanath also terminated me without clear reasons, allegedly due to violations linked to my work with FEMA. I have received threats and have had to relocate for safety. I welcome investigations into FEMA's practices and the treatment of employees. I regret trusting a system that has not protected me. I'm open to exploring legal options regarding my termination from Avanath.

Speaker 0: For this exclusive interview. Mar Marty, glad to have you here. So let let's walk through this. First of all, when were you notified? Because the daily wire said there was a whistleblower who made this point.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was notified after I demoted. The next morning, they told me verbally I was fired, but they never provided me anything in writing stating that I was fired. They all alleged that these actions were made on my own recognizance and that it was for my own political advances. However, if you look at the record, there is what we call a community trend. And, unfortunately, it just so happened that the political hostility that was encountered, by my team and I was on 2 different teams during this deployment.
They just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage. FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then de escalation. So this is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas. Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know.
But if you ask the DSA crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field, they will tell you, demand for FEMA to give you those incident reports. They will substantiate what is happening to us in the field.
Speaker 0: Okay. So so let let's, let's, let let let's go through that. And you also sent a text message to folks and you said, my civilian job has several ties based on their core values, which is based on FEMA determination of firing with firing me. You laid the core values. You said, which of these did I violate?
You said, I did not vote for Kamala. I'm nonpartisan. FEMA did not give me fairness. They violated their own values. They know homes are being skipped due to political hostile encounters.
So when you say you didn't vote for vice president Kamala Harris, did you did you not vote at all in this election? Correct. And so
Speaker 1: I didn't even have an opportunity to vote at all in this election due to the amount of deployment request and the high demand of help that is needed with FEMA.
Speaker 0: So okay. So, so you normally do vote. You simply didn't vote in this election.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 0: Okay. So let's let's let's let's go through this. And, again, they say you you you you you skipped the homes. And so when you talk about the incident reports, have you released those publicly? Have you have you have you released reports saying, this is where I notified I notified FEMA executives of these particular homes and how they were hostile to our workers.
Speaker 1: So I have not relinquished any reports. And anytime that we relinquish reports, we do not state specific homes due to PII. What we do is we discuss community trends. So if we are noticing, for example, on Mary Street, you'll find 3 or 4 homes that we tried to canvas and we were greeted with unwelcomed arms or or people are coming out, guns blazing, are you screaming at us, then that's a street we need to avoid altogether.
Speaker 0: Okay. So let's so so first and foremost, is you you work with is it Avanoff?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's my civilian job, Evaneth. Yes.
Speaker 0: Okay. So okay. Alright. So so okay. I'm sorry.
So explain us civilian job and fire from FEMA for folks who don't understand.
Speaker 1: Yes. At home, I have a regular job like everyone else. I have an executive position. I take care of things there, for that job. I'm in contract with them on their terms.
And then for FEMA, I work as a reservist. So my time for them is on call based on deployments orders that I receive.
Speaker 0: So so so so explain that when you say the deployment, FEMA's dot military. So what does that actually mean?
Speaker 1: Deployment means that they are asking you to leave your resident of records and to respond to a natural disaster in on United Nations land.
Speaker 0: Okay. And and that so how long had you been, working in this capacity with FEMA?
Speaker 1: Since 2019. Since 2019.
Speaker 0: So you had worked other, disasters around the country?
Speaker 1: Correct. And I always exceed the expectation, and I be and I come highly recommended.
Speaker 0: Okay. So so when they say a FEMA employee, are you technically a FEMA employee or contract?
Speaker 1: I am an employee. We do have there's different forms of, hire with FEMA. You can be a reservist. You can be a PFT, which is a, a full time employee, or you can be part of the corps where you work 50 weeks out of the year. You can also contract with FEMA as well.
So there's different there there's various forms of employment with, FEMA.
Speaker 0: So so you so so not only were you fired from FEMA, go to my iPad, your civilian so your other job with Abernathy, you've been you've been fired from that job too?
Speaker 1: They actually did that in writing. Yes.
Speaker 0: Okay. So they so what did they say you violated? First of all, what kind of company is this? I I I've never heard of it. What what kind of company is it?
Speaker 1: It is a property management company. They are, nationwide. I am a regional manager. Well, I was a regional manager for that, property. I took care of their portfolios, for various different acquisitions within it.
I'm not sure what core values I have violated there because my actions with FEMA have nothing to do, with them at all.
Speaker 0: Yeah. So I'm I'm reading this, and and and this is from a Pat Gordon, g a u d I n. Says I regret to inform you that your employment with Avanath has been terminated effective November 15, 2024. However, your last day working with Avanath will be effective immediately due to violation of the company's core values and workplace policies. Due to the nature of your absence, I will work directly with you for the return of all Avanath equipment and community access items.
Your benefits will terminate on November 30th, then it goes to final payment, things along those lines. So this is Pat Gaud, executive vice president, human resources. So they never explained to you what you violated?
Speaker 1: No. They haven't. And and this is all because of FEMA's doing. They allowed a partnering company to leak internal communication and then relinquish all of my personal contact information. So they don't they FEMA didn't just put jeopardize me.
They also put my own company that I work for at home in jeopardy because all this information's on LinkedIn. And FEMA has not gone after these people that has leaked this information, that has breached our policies.
Speaker 0: So, you you talked about hostility. This was a text message that you sent us where one of the folks out there said, good morning. LaGrosse Road is politically hostile. We were not canvassing this street any further. Moved on to North Lakeview Road.
Great decision. Thanks for the update.
Speaker 1: Exactly. So my senior leadership was aware of the amount of encounters that was going on in the field. Again, this was my second time and a second crew in Florida and experiencing unwelcomed behavior from the residents. Now not all Floridians have been unpleasant, but for the most part, the ones that are very passionate about their disdain for FEMA, they have no problem expressing it.
Speaker 0: So so walk us through this. You also sent us this, and it says how it works. Purple paint marks, property owners can paint vertical lines of purple paint on trees or posts along the perimeter of their property. It said that the it said why it's important for safety, clear boundaries, avoiding accidents. The purple paint clearly communicates an entry onto the land is prohibited without permission, reducing the risk of trespassing related confrontations.
So explain to us what this mean what what this is.
Speaker 1: It means they can shoot you. If they don't have the sign that this says, they will shoot you. Purple rocks and and painting of trees means that you you are likely to be shot. It means you are unwelcome. Do not come.
Speaker 0: So
Speaker 1: And they mean that by force.
Speaker 0: So if the purple paint is there that's giving you permission to come out of their property?
Speaker 1: No. You do not enter. That's why the word avoidance is down there.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: So You said So so
Speaker 0: so if so, again, for people who don't know, so so these are famous famous rules. Correct?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: So if so if the if so if the if the property owner uses purple paint on their property You stay away. And, first of all, is this how how does the property owner even get this information?
Speaker 1: So this is something that FEMA has learned over the years from responding to natural disasters under the Stafford Act. So from community trends, you start learning when you take these notation from field intel. If a community has the purple rocks or painted trees, they learned over time that you were met with aggression usually, or they do not want you on their property at all. Instead of just simply placing a, you know, privacy sign, no trespass, and they would rather paint purple.
Speaker 0: Okay. So so I get I get well, I kinda understand. So if you turned in reports to your supervisors Mhmm. That state political hostility Mhmm. For the people in the field, those reports exist.
Speaker 1: Yes. Hence, why I also sent you screenshots where they're deleting files now from my computer. So FEMA says they fired me, but I still have access to the systems and their applications. And while I was in an interview yesterday, I noticed that my files were being deleted in my name, and I I could not have been doing that while I was talking to Madison. So FEMA is very well aware of the incidents that take place, not just with my crew, but with all of the crews, in the state that that's declared.
And instead of just saying, hey. This is how we're going to mitigate it to protect our people, They decided to fire me and make sure Donald Trump knows that they are loyal to him because they fear retribution.
Speaker 0: So okay. So you sent so explain what what this chart here is. So you sent us this map, and it has these these dots on it. So what what does this actually mean?
Speaker 1: So what that means is that shows you every home in that area. Each dot is a home. Okay. And and that home, that dot gives you intel if if I was able to register that person, if I was only giving them resources, if I wasn't able to access the process, the property. There's all kind of things on in that data for that one dot.
So when someone says that, oh, there was at least 20 homes missed or we didn't do this or we didn't do that, we have to put that into context because this was a breach from a partnering company that FEMA hired, the surge capacity team, which are usually just TSA workers. They took it upon themselves to say, we want to go and register these homes, knowing that it is hostile and and it could possibly endanger the rest of the team. So because they they didn't get what they wanted, they went and sent this information out and misled the people that we just bypassed these homes. We we omitted these homes for safety precautions, not because of political plight. Like, no one cares about that.
We wanna make sure people can register.
Speaker 0: So when you say for political so so describe for me what political hostility means.
Speaker 1: Is it People will tell you, I don't like FEMA. That's part of the Biden Harrison campaign. You guys are lying to people. You're not helping people. You don't even give people the the essential needs funding the $750.
A lot of people think
Speaker 0: So so when the people so so, again, I just want to understand. So when the people who if you're reporting to you Mhmm. They were they approaching these homes, knocking on the door, or people out out there in the yard saying this? And so when the so when that homeowner makes these makes these statements, then what then does the worker do? Does the worker say, sir, ma'am, thank you very much.
And do they then notate, political hostility? Do they move to the next house?
Speaker 1: Yes. They are to deescalate and disengage immediately, walk away from the home, complete the notation of what the encounter was, and move on to the next home.
Speaker 0: Does FEMA have that documented that this is the way it's supposed to be done?
Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Ask them for it.
Speaker 0: So so so FEMA FEMA has documents that show that, oh, field worker, if you in if you if you, run into anyone who is politically hostile or is hostile to you as a worker, you're saying they are to deescalate, thank you very much, and keep moving, and then make a notation of that particular home of whatever that specific encounter was.
Speaker 1: Right. You put down in the notes, hey. This was a unwelcome encounter. They affirm do not return. Whatever you need to get it the message clear, this is not a home we need to go back and canvas.
You have to understand, when we take the when we go out here in the field, we don't have security detail. We do not have police detail. We are all we have in the field. And FEMA will tell you very quick. If avoidance and de escalation does not work, please call your local authorities.
Speaker 0: Okay. So what what we're talking about here is so first of all, how many homes did your the team that you were over, how many homes did they survey?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't have that number. That's why I showed you the map. What so because that that map the map kind that map gives you an aerial view of a one specific area.
Speaker 0: So so so what you're saying us were all the what all the homes that your team processed.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: So we're talking so this this is one map right here.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: This is a second map right here.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: This is the 3rd map right here. This is the 4th map right here. And look. That's that's the 4th. So all of the so all those orange dots, those are all of the homes your teams processed.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: So out of all of those homes, your teams encountered 20 homes that were that were defined as politically hostile. Mhmm. Did your and I take did did your the teams under you, did they know specifically the addresses of each one of those homes?
Speaker 1: No. They do not. Again, we do not do PII. So when you drop a dot, it just shows logistical coordinates, and then you just put the details there. So But it does show the street.
Speaker 0: So I'm I'm curious why not. So for instance, if because if if if if I encountered if if I if I'm a worker and I encountered this, I need to be able to say it was 2550 and not 2552.
Speaker 1: FEMA does not do that. They do not allow you to, disclose personal information.
Speaker 0: Okay. Now so so the so the problem now is how do you then how how then are you able to to track the homes that were politically hostile?
Speaker 1: So, again, we do it based off of a report. So for example, there were 2 gentlemen on my team. They had a uncomfortable encounter. For example, they were told drain the swamp and some other kinda crazy statements. So I know that house was on this street, a specific street, and I know what color it was.
And then if I have another team member tell me on that same street that they had another incident, it's like, okay. This this is starting to become a trend. We we probably need to pull out because nobody needs to work in a hostile work environment.
Speaker 0: Okay. So, again, I I I'm just I'm just trying to understand. So let me so let me pull up here. So if I zoom in on this map right here, and let's say okay. So I'm looking at one of these streets.
So let's say there are let's say there are 30 homes on that street.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: And let's say one of your field workers encounters hostility from 3 homes on that street. Mhmm. Do they continue to canvas each home on that street? Or do
Speaker 1: That's when I make an executive decision and I I send that report over to my TFL.
Speaker 0: What what's the I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What's the TFL?
Speaker 1: Task force lead. Okay. I'll let know that we've had now several, because 3 is several for me, encounters, poor encounters on this street that have made the team uncomfortable, and I will let him know we need to move on from here. But the important thing is here, once we start seeing a trend, for example, if they just so happen to have these Trump campaign signs in front of their home and need that that's the characteristic that's coming along with that, we have to proceed with precaution. So avoidance first and then de escalation.
And that's the thing. Our superiors know that. We have constant conversations about keep your people safe. If your people are uncomfortable, then just don't go.
Speaker 0: So so so so explain this to me, please. Explain this to me. Okay. So I'm just trying to understand what that means. So, again, if I'm on a house if I'm on a street and it has 20 homes
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: And there are 8 homes on that street with Trump signs.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: And my team has faced hostility from 3 of the homes that have signs.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: What happens next?
Speaker 1: I inform my TFL, my my direct report, hey. We're, again, experiencing hostile encounters. We're moving on to another street. We're not canvassing those homes.
Speaker 0: So, again, only for go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: And and that and that's the directive too. Like, honestly, he has called me multiple multiple times and says you your job is to keep the team safe.
Speaker 0: I'm sorry. When
Speaker 1: you say
Speaker 0: he, who's he?
Speaker 1: Oh, Chad Hershey. Okay.
Speaker 0: Who's Chad Hershey?
Speaker 1: The TFL that my assigned TFL for this deployment.
Speaker 0: So Chad so Chad Hershey has said is told you what?
Speaker 1: That if your team is uncomfortable and they do not feel safe, do not go to those homes. Go and and canvas the other homes. Your job is to keep these people safe. They need to be able to go back home safe.
Speaker 0: Okay. So now now I have to ask this because, again, I I I use the example. Twenty homes, 20 homes on the street. Mhmm. 8 of the homes have Trump signs, and they face hostility from 3 of 3 of those, of those homes, which means there are 17 homes left.
Right. So
Speaker 1: We'll we will we will canvas the ones that do not have the community trend of the with the Trump campaign's signage and let it go. If any of those residents come outside, they have the Trump campaign signage, and they say, hey. I wanna register. We're welcome to arms. We will let you register.
Great. Wonderful. But we will not subject our people into continuous verbal abuse or hostile encounters. So It's not to
Speaker 0: do that. What I need to know. So but but but, again, though, this is what I'm trying to understand here. If there are 20 homes on the street Mhmm. 8 have trump signs, and you encounter hostility from 3, how do you then and if you say, I'm moving on from the street, what happens to the other 17 homes on that street?
Speaker 1: So the ones that do not have the the trend, you gotta watch what you're saying because you're saying that ones without the the the Trump campaign signage. If those are the ones that we have experienced the consistent hostility from, then those are the ones that we're going to avoid. Our equity in DSA is canvassing and registering, so we're gonna take care of those other homes on the street. But we're gonna avoid the ones that meet the community trend of political hostility, and they just so happen to have campaign signages in their front yard.
Speaker 0: So you I wanna go back to something because you said you first started in 2019. Right?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: Okay. So for all of these, it's always these people who who run their miles miles in our chat, here. Trump was there in 2019. Did this what you're describing, did this happen in 2009 or 2020 when we had federal disasters?
Speaker 1: I can't speak for that because I wasn't deployed on on those, disasters. You would have to ask those people. But what I am here to do is tell you that homes are skipped. The American people need to know that. If we are approached with hostility or our people feel uncomfortable, we do disengage.
Speaker 0: And when you say you with hostility, that's from anybody, whether there's a truck well, I'll ask you this way. Have have you noted have you noted have you ever noted any hostility from people who had Biden, Harris, Harris wall signs, or did you report any hostility for people who had no signs in their yards?
Speaker 1: There you go. Yes. That is the whole point.
Speaker 0: On both on both counts?
Speaker 1: Yes. On both accounts.
Speaker 0: So and so let let me just get you clear. So there have been you're saying that there have been there have been times when your teams went out and someone may have had a Biden Harris or a Harris wall sign in their yard. Your team felt uncomfortable and faced hostility, and they reported it back to you, and y'all said skip at home.
Speaker 1: There have been yes. Not on this specific deployment, but, yes, there are there is a record of that in the past. What what you have to understand is everybody is not happy with FEMA because if their applications are not approved or something didn't go the way they they expected it to go, sometimes when we come back around for another disaster, they don't wanna see us, and they and they passionately let us know.
Speaker 0: So let me go back to what I just said. So you there are examples as well of of individuals where there were no Trump signs, there were no Harris Biden signs, there are no signs at all, and your teams face hostility, and y'all made the exact same decision to move on.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: So when you look at how Republicans and MAGA is trying to play this as, oh, she she skipped the Trump folk. How do you respond to that?
Speaker 1: I respond to it in the same fashion, and I'm gonna respond to you now. If you greet any of our team members with hostility or aggression, we will deescalate and disengage and move on. We we cannot take that risk to deal with that type of behavior. It's just not ethical for a work environment for anybody.
Speaker 0: And, again, you're saying here that those reports were turned in. You're saying that your supervisors or your your team leads, they are aware of this? They are you're saying that they are aware that this is not politically driven. It is driven based upon the hostility shown towards female workers in the field?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: K. Would you like now, again, FEMA has not released, these reports. They apologize, and they're gonna fix these issues. Would you like for the House Oversight Committee, Congressional Black Caucus, and others to actually call you and say, oh, if y'all want the truth, call me to a hearing, and let's put it all out there so folks can understand. Because, clearly, FEMA has fired you.
Your other job has fired you. That's cost you significant amounts of money. You're unemployed, and so you're being made out to be, this evil, anti MAGA person.
Speaker 1: Yes. I take all help and assistance right now. And I also have FEMA employees that have called me and said they will come forward, and they will tell their stories, and they will share with you all their truths about what it is we experience in the field every day.
Speaker 0: You you talked about what what you are going through. Do you have a family?
Speaker 1: I do. And I have people calling me saying that they're gonna rape me and that they're gonna give me a proper nigger lynching. I have people calling me, telling me that I am a horrible person saying ungodly things to me.
Speaker 0: And all of this started because once this story, when the Daily Fire
Speaker 1: was published FEMA allowed the search team to leak confidential information to the newspaper that went national, and there is no protection for me. FEMA sent me an email with 10 sheets of paper and said, this is how you were supposed to protect yourself. There are people in my family and in various residents that we own where they are receiving pizzas so they can try to pinpoint where I actually live or try to locate where I am.
Speaker 0: This was one of the emails that was sent to you, here, and this person said, who the hell do you think you are to do what you did? You m f d e I hire. How dare you tell your employees to not assist hurricane damage home if they had a Trump sign in front? You stupid bitch racist. Tough crap now, you miserable jackass.
Trump won by huge numbers, and there's not a damn thing that you and your sick Democrat friends and colleagues can do about it. Your whole crowd is done. Only a stupid lefty company will hire a pathetic loser like you, dumbass. And you said you've got more emails like this, since this story went public? Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Yes. People are, quite cruel.
Speaker 0: You said that FEMA employees have reached out to you. Yes, sir. And and these are folks who, how your your field workers and others who are aware of this type of hostility. Go ahead.
Speaker 1: Yes. Anybody that's worked with me knows my ethics. They know I do my job well. They understand the integrity that I work with, and everybody knows this is not me. And they are saying that they have no problem coming forward and speaking and telling the truth on FEMA.
Speaker 0: So folks like congressman Jim Jordan and other, Republicans, they love with the house oversight community, they love to investigate, folks, and, and so, I'm sure they may try to throw out, oh, let's investigate FEMA now. You're saying, oh, I welcome these Republicans holding a congressional hearing so you can so you can come present your information.
Speaker 1: Please do. They they will find this is not isolated. Again, I state this over and over again. This is colossal. This is not just isolated to Florida.
Check out what's going on in the Carolinas. There are so many news articles where we have been people coming after FEMA employees with guns, targeting us to kill us, not realizing that we're just fellow Americans like they are, and we wanna go back home to our families too. Their issue is with FEMA's infrastructure and how they implement duty. It would it does need to be revamped. It does need restructuring, and it does it's gonna have to start with the truth.
No matter who is in that office, there is a problem with FEMA.
Speaker 0: I don't know who your member of congress is, but will you reach out to your congressman or congresswoman and say, I am a constituent. This is how I've been treated. Yeah. I I want you, to lead an investigation and call me.
Speaker 1: I will do that.
Speaker 0: You talked about the threats that you've received. Have you had to leave your home for your safety?
Speaker 1: Oh, yes. I'm in I'm in a secure location.
Speaker 0: So as a result of these threats, you no longer living in your home.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 0: Your family is impacted. You've been fired from your civilian job, and you're simply out here, just dealing with this day by day.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 0: Anything else, Marnie, like to add?
Speaker 1: Again, I do implore you guys to talk to the DSA crew leads. I do implore you guys
Speaker 0: to talk to second. When you say the you said the DSA crew leads? Mhmm.
Speaker 1: What what is what
Speaker 0: what is DSA?
Speaker 1: It was disaster survivor assistant crew leads and specialists. They will tell you the truth. And I do implore you all to ask FEMA why is it permissible for their partnering company to go and breach confidentiality and to leak documents to the public? Why is their relationship so important that they have not gone after them and held them accountable for their egregious actions?
Speaker 0: Do you regret working with FEMA?
Speaker 1: No. I enjoy the work that I have done for FEMA and for this country, but I do regret believing in in a system that did not care about me the way I cared about them. Clearly, the way they've mishandled me, the way they have exploited me, the way they have mistreated me clearly shows that the relationship was one-sided, and a lot of us feel that way.
Speaker 0: Re re regarding your civilian company, Avanath, that's that's how it's pronounced, firing you. Are you considering suing them for wrongful termination?
Speaker 1: I'm open to explore all options at this point because I I don't even know where to start. So if there is someone that can help me, this is my cry to help. This is my call to help. If there's someone that can help me legally throughout this process, please contact me. Let me know what what are my real rights in this situation.
Where do I go from here?
Speaker 0: Alright. Marnie Washington. Marnie Washington, I appreciate you, reaching out to us, joining us, to share your side of the story, and we certainly will be reaching out to FEMA, to get some answers to the troubling issues that you certainly have raised.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for a voice and an opportunity to speak.

FEMA employee who was fired for skipping Trump houses says that this is a trend that extends to not only Florida, but the Carolinas and that it was coming from leadership. https://t.co/aT5SnHJWzM
Video Transcript AI Summary
I was informed of my termination verbally after my demotion, but I never received written confirmation. They claimed my actions were for personal political gain, yet there’s a clear pattern of political hostility my team faced during deployment, particularly related to Trump campaign signage. FEMA emphasizes avoidance and de-escalation, but this issue is widespread, not just in Florida but also in the Carolinas. Senior leadership may deny awareness, but field crews can provide evidence of what's happening. It's crucial to demand FEMA's incident reports to support our experiences in the field.

Speaker 0: I was notified after I demoted. The next morning, they told me verbally I was fired, but they never provided me anything in writing stating that I was fired. They all alleged that these actions were made on my own recognizance and that it was for my own political advances. However, if you look at the record, there is what we call a community trend. And, unfortunately, it just so happened that the political hostility that was encountered, by my team and I was on 2 different teams during this deployment.
They just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage. FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then de escalation. So this is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas. Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know.
But if you ask the DSA crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field, they will tell you. Demand for FEMA to give you those incident reports. They will substantiate what is happening to us in the field.

I confronted FEMA Administrator Criswell about prioritizing equity programs over aid for Americans affected by natural disasters, especially those who supported President Trump. Meanwhile, FEMA had ample resources for illegal aliens, which feels like a shocking abuse of power to me.
@RepMTG - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
🚨 I just confronted FEMA Administrator Criswell 🚨 Criswell prioritized equity programs and politics over providing aid to Americans in need after historic natural disasters—simply because they supported President Trump. Meanwhile, FEMA had plenty of money and resources to care for every single illegal alien brought across our border by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Secretary Mayorkas. It’s a shocking abuse of power and a slap in the face to hard-working, tax-paying Americans.

A list shows cities, states, and NGOs that received $1 billion from FEMA to house illegal aliens, not Americans. This funding comes from American taxpayers, yet many citizens in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida remain homeless and without support. It's unacceptable to prioritize housing for migrants over American citizens. The current approach is seen as a failure and a betrayal to the American people, who feel outraged that their tax dollars are used this way. The situation at the border has led to tragic outcomes, and FEMA's actions are viewed as a significant misstep. It's crucial to put American citizens first. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.

Speaker 0: Them. I know it may be hard to see from there, but this is a whole list of cities, states, and NGOs that received received 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 of dollars from FEMA. And this was to house illegal aliens, not Americans who, by the way, all that money right there, that comes from Americans, bank accounts when they write their checks to pay their taxes. Do you think it's acceptable for 1,000,000,000 of American taxpayer dollars to be spent on housing people invading our country, but yet Americans in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida are still homeless, and have yet to fully receive receive support?
Speaker 1: Congresswoman, we have been direct Is
Speaker 0: that equitable?
Speaker 1: We have been directed by Congress to administer the shelter and services program. If Congress chooses to change that direction, we will follow that law.
Speaker 0: Congress is changing that direction. Absolutely. We're gonna put American citizens first, not migrants, because we don't believe that's equitable. You see the situation, putting housing illegal aliens while Americans suffer with Americans taxpayer dollars, that's not equitable. As a matter of fact, that's the biggest failure that could be ever done to the American people.
It's such a failure, it should be treason. And that's how the American people feel. As a matter of fact, regular people are so outraged, they are pissed, furious at the fact that they feel completely failed by FEMA that's funded by their money, and yet their own money went to house illegal aliens that have invaded this country. Americans are dead today because of the failures that are of our border, and FEMA took care of these people. You see that can't We can't allow that to happen.
Thank you mister chairman. I yield back.

Video Transcript AI Summary
We just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for the unauthorized $59 million FEMA payment for NYC migrant hotels. This was long overdue; billions of taxpayer dollars have been misspent on housing, food, and healthcare for illegal immigrants in New York City. This incentivizes sanctuary cities and states to continue this practice, circumventing federal law. New York's leadership is inept and corrupt; Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul have enabled this, despite the strain on resources and the migrant crisis. We must stop the influx at the border and stop incentivizing this behavior. Furthermore, New York's top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this previously but are concerned about the court's potential bias.

Speaker 0: Fox News Alert moments ago, we received this together. We received a statement from the DHS regarding the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to New York City migrants last week. Quote, four employees being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City. We have not we have not announced it yet, so you have, so we have it first. There's gonna be firing, so names are gonna be out, and let's bring in New York congressman Mike Lawler.
Congressman, your thought about that move?
Speaker 1: Well, it's long overdue, frankly. These funds have been misappropriated, going back to the Biden administration. And New York City, a sanctuary city, has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, billions with a b, to provide free housing, clothing, food, education, and health care to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens that are here illegally. And so, you know, I I applaud, frankly, DHS, for taking action, to stop these payments, under president Trump's leadership because we have incentivized cities like New York and states like New York, a sanctuary state, to allow this to continue, and it has to stop.
Speaker 0: Look. It cost New York and this little salvage of us billions of dollars, because the the water was wide open for four years. And the mayor that spoke up got exiled in the Democratic Party. Ironically, he's about to be, I I guess, in a way, pardoned or or, protected by this president who sees a lot of the targeting of mayor, Eric Adams, as the same thing that happened to him.
Speaker 1: No question. Eric Adams spoke out against what the Biden administration was doing. He said that the migrant crisis was, quote, unquote, destroying New York City. Kathy Hochul, authorized billions of dollars of state taxpayer money, to pay for all these expenditures. Meanwhile, she's fleecing hardworking New Yorkers twenty five hundred dollars just for the privilege of driving to work.
It it really just speaks volumes to how inept, incompetent, and corrupt, New York has become under feckless leadership.
Speaker 0: Right.
Speaker 1: We have to stop this massive influx at the border, which is what president Trump is doing, but we have to stop incentivizing states and cities like New York by spending billions, and in this case, from FEMA, fifty nine million dollars, to support their efforts to circumvent federal law. That's really what this boils down to. States like New York are circumventing federal law Right. Allowing illegal immigrants, to get benefits and access to taxpayer money.
Speaker 0: Alright. So let's talk about something else that's just bizarre that that's happening in New York. New York's top court said to consider noncitizen voting in New York City elections today. Get this. Noncitizen, you don't belong here.
You're not registered. Blowing off court appearance. Doesn't matter. That would add 800,000 noncitizen voters. Why is this even a discussion?
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be. New York Republicans fought back against this effort, several years ago. We were victorious in the lower court and the appellate division, and now it goes to the court of appeals. Unfortunately, I'm a little, bit concerned because the New York court of appeals has been corrupted by Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats. This is why they tried to

Speaker 1: We have to stop this massive influx at the border, which is what president Trump is doing, but we have to stop incentivizing states and cities like New York by spending billions, and in this case, from FEMA, fifty nine million dollars, to support their efforts to circumvent federal law. That's really what this boils down to. States like New York are circumventing federal law Right. Allowing illegal immigrants, to get benefits and access to taxpayer money.
Speaker 0: Alright. So let's talk about something else that's just bizarre that that's happening in New York. New York's top court said to consider noncitizen voting in New York City elections today. Get this. Noncitizen, you don't belong here.
You're not registered. Blowing off court appearance. Doesn't matter. That would add 800,000 noncitizen voters. Why is this even a discussion?
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be. New York Republicans fought back against this effort, several years ago. We were victorious in the lower court and the appellate division, and now it goes to the court of appeals. Unfortunately, I'm a little, bit concerned because the New York court of appeals has been corrupted by Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats. This is why they tried to

🚨#BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has confirmed that all $59,000,000 sent to luxury hotels in NYC for illegal immigrants has been RETURNED to FEMA. This comes after Elon Musks's DOGE uncovered the payments just 48 hours ago... https://t.co/NDXhNByiyb
Video Transcript AI Summary
We've just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making a $59 million FEMA payment for migrant hotels in New York City. This is long overdue. New York City has been wasting billions on free services for illegal immigrants, including criminals. I applaud DHS for stopping these payments. Under the Trump administration, we incentivized sanctuary cities like New York, and it has to stop.
Eric Adams spoke out against the Biden administration, saying the migrant crisis was destroying New York City. New York is circumventing federal law, allowing illegal immigrants to get benefits and access taxpayer money.
In other news, New York's top court is considering noncitizen voting in NYC elections, which could add 800,000 noncitizen voters. It shouldn't even be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this before, and now the court of appeals, corrupted by Democrats, will hear it.

Speaker 0: Fox News Alert moments ago, we received this together. We received a statement from the DHS regarding the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to New York City migrants last week. Quote, four employees being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City. We have not we have not announced it yet, so you have, so we have it first. There's gonna be firing, so names are gonna be out, and let's bring in New York congressman Mike Lawler.
Congressman, your thought about that move?
Speaker 1: Well, it's long overdue, frankly. These funds have been misappropriated, going back to the Biden administration. And New York City, a sanctuary city, has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, billions with a b, to provide free housing, clothing, food, education, and health care to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens that are here illegally. And so, you know, I I applaud, frankly, DHS, for taking action, to stop these payments, under president Trump's leadership because we have incentivized cities like New York and states like New York, a sanctuary state, to allow this to continue, and it has to stop.
Speaker 0: Look. It cost New York and this little salvage of us billions of dollars, because the the water was wide open for four years. And the mayor that spoke up got exiled in the Democratic Party. Ironically, he's about to be, I I guess, in a way, pardoned or or, protected by this president who sees a lot of the targeting of mayor, Eric Adams, as the same thing that happened to him.
Speaker 1: No question. Eric Adams spoke out against what the Biden administration was doing. He said that the migrant crisis was, quote, unquote, destroying New York City. Kathy Hochul, authorized billions of dollars of state taxpayer money, to pay for all these expenditures. Meanwhile, she's fleecing hardworking New Yorkers twenty five hundred dollars just for the privilege of driving to work.
It it really just speaks volumes to how inept, incompetent, and corrupt, New York has become under feckless leadership.
Speaker 0: Right.
Speaker 1: We have to stop this massive influx at the border, which is what president Trump is doing, but we have to stop incentivizing states and cities like New York by spending billions, and in this case, from FEMA, fifty nine million dollars, to support their efforts to circumvent federal law. That's really what this boils down to. States like New York are circumventing federal law Right. Allowing illegal immigrants, to get benefits and access to taxpayer money.

FEMA workers fired after huge payment for NYC migrants revealed. https://t.co/75I4kgyIQG
Video Transcript AI Summary
FEMA employees have been terminated for allegedly sending $59,000,000 to house illegal migrants in luxury hotels, sparking public outrage. Critics are pointing out the contrast of this situation with the treatment of citizens affected by natural disasters who did not receive adequate assistance.
The funds, allegedly sent through a program separate from the disaster relief fund, have done little to quell public anger. Some feel the money could have been used to address homelessness and create housing for American citizens instead. Some are calling for FEMA to be shut down completely.

Speaker 0: FEMA employees have been fired for sending huge sums of money to illegal migrants.
Speaker 1: This is how the government is spending your money, and it has to stop.
Speaker 0: $59,000,000 allegedly went to luxury hotels for migrants. This has sparked outrage online with many recalling how people affected by natural disasters were not given the help they deserved.
Speaker 1: And then they hid the fact until just today that your money was going from FEMA, pay to house illegals in a fucking hotel while you got to sit with your family in a tent after losing everything and almost freezing to death and starving to death because Biden was a piece of shit.
Speaker 0: New York City Hall said they never paid for the luxury hotels, and the money was sent through a different program that is separate from the disaster relief fund, which still hasn't won any sympathy from angry Americans.
Speaker 1: We could have been using that money to help the homeless and create housing for them. FEMA just needs to close. Like, the whole organization just needs to be shut down.

🚨BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announces she has found the ICE raid leakers and is FIRING them: "They will be fired. There will be consequences." https://t.co/e2i5c3TX1r
Video Transcript AI Summary
I've identified leakers within the organization, and we're actively uncovering more. Let me be clear: these individuals will be terminated, and they will face serious repercussions. Leaking information to the press, especially when it jeopardizes operations, puts law enforcement lives at grave risk, potentially leaving families without their loved ones.
We're employing every available tactic, including polygraphs, email analysis, and communication monitoring, to identify these individuals. It's astonishing how these bureaucrats, driven by their agendas to undermine our mission of ensuring American safety, will betray one another to protect themselves. Rest assured, I am fully committed to finding and removing these leakers to ensure the safety of our law enforcement officers and agents, and to enable us to continue our vital work.

Speaker 0: I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences. And remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy.
They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they have to live without those individuals any further. So you bet. We have, used every tactic that we have. If you remember, we talked, just last week about how I'm using polygraphs to to go after and to really interview these folks because we are a national security agency. I have that tool I can use.
Also looking at their emails, looking at their communications, and it's amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to to stop the work that we're doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it's just to protect themselves. So don't worry. I am doing everything to find these leakers and to get rid of them so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.

https://t.co/PGjIdUWh0v ACCOUNTABILITY Tulsi Gabbard just announced she has terminated all 100+ NSA employee involved in trans sex chat on Government resources, revoked their security clearances.
Video Transcript AI Summary
We've uncovered a serious breach of trust involving over a hundred intelligence community members. They misused an NSA platform for unprofessional conduct, thanks to Chris Rufo for exposing it.
I've issued a directive to terminate their employment and revoke their security clearances. This action is just the beginning. Accountability has been lacking for too long, especially considering past violations of public trust.
The Trump administration is committed to cleaning house, rooting out corruption, and ending the weaponization and politicization of these institutions. Our goal is to rebuild trust in the intelligence community, ensuring they fulfill their mission of serving the American people and safeguarding our safety, security, and freedom.

Speaker 0: Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done. There are over a hundred people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this what what is really just an egregious violation of trust, what to speak of, like, rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today, that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked. But the thing here, Jesse, is, like, we gotta take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface. When you see what these people were saying, and thanks to Chris Rufo for putting it all out online, they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior.
And they were brazen in doing this because when was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years, certainly not over the last ten, maybe twenty years when we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community. So today's action in holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration, which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him, clean house, root out that rot and corruption and weaponization and politicization so we can start to rebuild that trust in these institutions that are charged with an important mission of serving the American people, ensuring our safety, security, and freedom.
