The critical needs assistance provided in Maui was $700, but there are efforts to raise that cap. The $700 is for immediate needs, while the main assistance program adjusts annually based on inflation. Currently, the cap for individuals is $41,000, but it will be raised in the next fiscal year to account for inflation.

FEMA will play a pivotal role in the shelter and services program, which is set to distribute $363 million to cities and communities in need of funding. However, neither the speaker nor FEMA currently possesses the necessary funds to last through the season.

California is repaying $1.6 billion previously charged to the federal government for health care services provided to illegal immigrants, and a larger program integrity issue is claimed to exist in the state’s health care system. The speaker instructs Governor Newsom to produce within three weeks a comprehensive program integrity action plan to address major fraud. Three examples of alleged embarrassing fraud in California are highlighted: 1) In-home supportive services (which California shares with Minnesota) include personal care such as bathing or grooming, household tasks, cleaning and cooking, shopping, and transportation. These are tasks that families could perform, but government funding is said to have generated significant cash for unethical people. California spending for these services increased from eight to twenty-eight billion dollars over the past decade, with a claim that federal taxpayers are paying 250% more for California, an affluent state, and that the program is still growing by double digits annually. 2) In 2024, spending for home health care in California purportedly rose by more than 21%, representing the largest growth rate for any major health category nationwide. The number of home health agencies in California reportedly almost doubled between 2019 and 2024. Los Angeles County alone is said to account for $1.4 billion, representing almost 9% of total fee-for-service home health spending for the entire country, despite having just 2% of national enrollment. The assertion is that this concentrates home health funds in L.A. County, limiting access for other Americans who could benefit from these services. 3) The 2022 California state auditor report is cited as showing that the number of hospice agents in Los Angeles County increased by 1,500% since 2010, a growth rate that allegedly far exceeds the 40% increase in the senior population over the same period. The speaker questions how a sevenfold increase in hospice could be defended, noting reports from seniors who claim they were duped by fraudsters and that California is not stopping these criminals. The speaker reiterates that Governor Newsom’s deadline for a comprehensive program integrity action plan is approaching and urges action to save American lives rather than enabling criminals.

We've stopped the $8,000,000 in taxpayer subsidies for Politico subscriptions. The team is working to cancel the payments immediately. Large organizations inevitably miss things. Claims of widespread waste and abuse haven't been substantiated with evidence. We haven't seen proof of the alleged misuse of funds.

California may become the first state to achieve universal health coverage, offering full-scope Medi-Cal to all low-income residents, regardless of age or immigration status, starting January 2024. Governor Gavin Newsom states the state is short on funds for Medi-Cal, even after expanding the program to cover undocumented immigrants. The governor requested lawmakers approve $2.8 billion in loans, adding to the $3.4 billion loan issued the previous week. California is addressing a $6.2 billion Medi-Cal shortfall to maintain funding through June. Adjustments and changes are needed in the Medicaid system to balance the budget.

The Federal deficit is much larger than reported due to the way Biden's team hid student loan cancellations. The deficit for the previous fiscal year was $1.7 trillion, a 20% increase from the previous year. However, the actual increase was $600 billion, making the deficit $2 trillion. This puts the US on track to be $45 trillion in debt by 2033 and $144 trillion by 2053. Debt service, recessions, and wars further contribute to the deficit. Debt service costs are rising, recessions increase spending and decrease tax revenue, and wars add to the financial burden. With additional plans for global warming funds, corporate welfare, and welcoming illegal immigrants, the Treasury will continue to be looted until there are consequences.

FEMA may struggle to assist Florida because Secretary Mayorkas claims they are out of funds. $640 million meant for housing assistance was used to house migrants in hotels. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general identified over $7 billion in unspent cash from old grants. These grants, from storms as far back as 16 years ago, have passed their deadlines, but CEVA keeps extending them. The inspector general suggests reallocating these funds back into the disaster fund, which could provide sufficient money for current needs in Florida and Appalachia. While a supplemental bill to fund FEMA is acceptable, it shouldn't become a "Christmas tree" with unrelated attachments; funding should be considered as single-subject legislation.

The state spends $64 per person per day on 3 meals. Some shelters lack cooking facilities, so the state pays Spinelli Ravioli $10 million for 6 months to provide food.

In recent months, our administration has delivered for New Yorkers with increased jobs and decreased crime. However, we face fiscal challenges due to the asylum seeker crisis and the ending of COVID-19 stimulus funding. Without timely action from state and federal partners, tough choices will need to be made. We have already reduced city-funded spending by 5% and balanced the budget without disrupting services or raising taxes. But we still have a $7 billion budget gap and may need to make further cuts. We need to unite as a city and ask Albany and Washington DC for support. Despite the challenges, we will come back stronger, as that is the New York City way.

Every federal department and agency is directed to tackle the cost of living crisis that has significantly impacted Americans. Thank you.

President Biden requested $98 billion in emergency funding for recent natural disasters, Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These storms caused over 200 deaths and extensive damage. FEMA's disaster relief fund has only $5 billion remaining. Without additional funding, FEMA will soon be limited to immediate needs, impacting rebuilding efforts in affected communities, particularly smaller and rural ones. FEMA has already provided over $1.6 billion in individual assistance and $1.3 billion in public assistance to nearly a million households. Helene and Milton's recovery costs are projected to exceed $50 billion each and will span years, surpassing all previous disasters this decade except Hurricane Maria.

We need to address the problem and secure $2,000,000 for STARLINK installation. I’ll connect you with my advisor, Lyle Repacki, for a briefing. You’ll present to the working group focused on establishing an emergency communication center, which will enhance redundancy and intelligence gathering. I’ll ensure you get the necessary information as soon as possible. Thanks for your help. Take care.

FEMA will play a pivotal role in the shelter and services program, which is set to distribute $363 million to cities and communities in need. However, neither the speaker nor FEMA currently possesses the necessary funds to last through the season.

We're reviewing the budget, starting with Congress. The Members Representational Allowance totals $810 million for 535 members, averaging $1.5 million each. Despite earning $175,000—three times the average American salary of $59,000—Congress is proposing a $70,000 raise, pushing their average salary to $245,000. Meanwhile, they refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. Additionally, leadership receives $37 million, and house committees get $212 million. This raises questions about the spending: what justifies these costs? The government needs to cut unnecessary expenses instead of misleading the public about their concern for citizens. The focus should shift from self-serving raises to addressing the needs of the American people.

Health and Human Services recently canceled 62 contracts totaling $182,000,000 in administrative expenses. This includes a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit. I want a refund of all the income taxes I've paid.

Given the high cost of migrant care and the lack of federal or state funding, the speaker is concerned about budget cuts. Layoffs and tax increases are potential options, but not preferred. The speaker highlights the influx of people from South America due to destabilization and crime issues. Without a national response and more help from Washington, the situation in the city will worsen. The speaker emphasizes the need for relief during the budgetary season and mentions the legal requirement to balance the budget. Currently, there is a $7 billion deficit that needs to be addressed.

Nearly 20% of businesses are still shut down and when businesses lose money, so does the city. From a local government perspective, the revenue loss is critical and we need it. Right now it's affecting this year's budget. Because of the current business environment, Asheville is facing a shortfall of about $18,000,000 this fiscal year, and the $225,000,000 in promised relief money from the legislature is still not flowing. Those funds are not yet in our community. That process takes a while and the fastest we could even expect to see those funds is this summer.

As part of the California Department of Finance, I'd like to clarify the current budget allocation for covering undocumented individuals in Medi-Cal. We're currently spending a total of $9.5 billion, not the $6 billion figure often cited. This $9.5 billion is the revised number from the governor's budget, reflecting updated estimates. Of this total, $8.4 billion comes from the general fund.

FEMA states they are prepared for disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and extreme heat, while emphasizing the importance of community preparedness. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is raising concerns about FEMA's funding in the wake of Hurricane Hilleen. FEMA is currently meeting immediate needs, but anticipates another hurricane and claims it lacks sufficient funds to last through the season. This announcement follows reports that the Biden-Harris administration allocated over $1 billion from a FEMA program to services for migrants.

FEMA is not and should never be an illegal alien resettlement agency. In fiscal year 23, $735,000,000 was allocated to the shelter and services program. In fiscal year 24, $650,000,000 was allocated for a housing program and other services for illegal aliens, totaling $1.5 billion. The proposed bill would take any unspent FEMA funds from this housing program for illegal aliens and give it to the victims of Hurricane Helene.

Today's midyear economic report reveals that Alberta's economy is resilient and our finances are on track. We are forecasting a surplus of $5.5 billion for this fiscal year, which is a $3.2 billion increase from our previous forecast. We are using our current strength to benefit Alberta's future.

Here's why they didn't want us looking at the Department of Education. According to USED.gov, $4.6 million was contracted to coordinate Zoom and in-person meetings. Another $3 million went to writing a report to show that prior reports weren't used by schools. And $1.4 million was spent to physically observe mailing and clerical operations. We all want children educated, but these allocations don't seem right. It looks like theft from the American taxpayer.

We need more resources to address the crisis of unaccompanied migrant children, which has escalated under the Biden administration. Over 526,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the border since 2021, with many released to sponsors without proper vetting, leading to exploitation and trafficking. The Office of Refugee Resettlement's budget for unaccompanied children reached $6.9 billion in 2023, yet significant mismanagement has resulted in tens of thousands of children going missing or being placed in dangerous situations. Reports indicate that many children are forced into labor or unsafe conditions after being released. The administration prioritized speed over safety, failing to protect vulnerable children from further victimization. This situation represents a monumental failure that requires urgent attention and accountability.

We're talking about $2.3 billion saved, but where's the proof? You won't be satisfied until you see the 10,000 pages of evidence. Specifics are needed. If we have to go to Congress, we will show where the money is going. Some details have emerged, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, but that was FEMA money abused for migrants. I'm not saying it's okay, don't put words in my mouth. The portrayal isn't factually accurate. I saw what FEMA does, I believe it. These are congressionally appropriate funds.

According to the Federation For American Immigration, the federal government spent $66 billion on illegal immigrants in 2023, compared to $3 billion on homeless veterans. The speaker questioned why this allocation makes sense, suggesting the numbers are comparable. The speaker itemized $5.8 billion in SNAP, $10 billion in Medicare, $8.2 billion in uncompensated hospital expenditures, and $3 billion for primary and secondary education for illegal immigrants. The speaker suggested redirecting funds from the $66 billion to address veterans' needs, such as the White House's requested $13 million for a national call center for homeless veterans, $17.2 billion for veterans' mental health, and $2.9 billion for caregiver support programs. The speaker claimed the Biden administration is responsible for the current allocation of funds.
