Speaker 0 suggests private entities stepped in to provide services like Starlink cell coverage because the government was initially absent. Speaker 1 clarifies that the US government facilitated the initial deployment of 40 Starlink satellites to North Carolina after Helene. Speaker 1 claims that Joe Biden's actions are motivated by concerns that people are listening to figures like Donald Trump and Lara Trump. Speaker 1 states that Lara Trump falsely claimed people were only receiving $750 in aid, which Dana Bash refuted as a lie. Speaker 0 insists that $750 is the current amount being received, stating personal experience as someone affected by a flood.

FEMA is providing $750 for immediate needs such as food and baby formula. Those affected can apply now.

We passed a recovery package with strong bipartisan support, reflecting the urgency of the moment. It's crucial for the federal government to recognize this urgency. Now is not the time for political games or finger-pointing; we need to unite to rebuild our city. I urge President Trump to provide federal funding quickly and without conditions.

The bridge over the Chesapeake collapsed, and we visited the site the next day with the governor.

This is a tragic event. Our thoughts are with those affected, their families, and the first responders. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in responding to this crisis at all levels of government.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for being here. We're addressing the issues in North Carolina from the hurricane that struck nearly four months ago. It's been mishandled, and we aim to fix it. After that, we'll head to Los Angeles to assess a fire situation that could have been managed better with proper water flow. Some of you may join us on the plane. There's uncertainty about who will be traveling with us, but I hope everyone makes it. I was surprised by Collins and Murkowski's decisions, and Mitch seems to always be a no vote. Today is a bit cold, but it's a beautiful day. We’ll be monitoring the situation closely, and I’m confident in our representation. We’ll also discuss tax breaks for Italy soon.

President Biden will be visiting East Palestine, Ohio on the 1-year anniversary of a toxic train derailment that caused residents to evacuate and left the community devastated. He plans to meet with the local president and leaders, following criticism that he did not provide sufficient support.

A ship named Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor, causing it to collapse. Search and rescue teams, including the coast guard, are looking for survivors. The ship is now stationary where the bridge once stood, cutting off road 695. The port is quiet after the catastrophic incident at 1:30 am. Helicopters are circling the area, flying low for closer inspection.

There is a discussion about a new government and a new prosecutor general. Speaker 0 expresses willingness to publicly commit to a $1 billion loan. Speaker 1 mentions that there are no corruption charges or evidence against the prosecutor general. Speaker 0 congratulates the installation of the new prosecutor general and emphasizes the need for quick action to repair damage. They confirm their commitment to signing the $1 billion loan guarantee now that the new prosecutor general is in place.

The speaker claims the North Carolina National Guard is doing its best, but volunteers, including Representative Corey Mills, are paying out-of-pocket to move helicopters and supplies to people in need. The speaker states that Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) has many helicopters, but they haven't been authorized by Biden, Harris, or Secretary of Defense Austin to assist until today, a week into the crisis. The speaker asserts people are dying and running out of oxygen, medicine, water, and other supplies. The speaker questions why active-duty helicopters from the base have not been authorized to save lives and states that the White House is only now sending 1000 soldiers.

The speaker states that disinformation is dangerous because it may prevent people from asking for needed help. They claim over $200,000,000 has been provided to impacted areas. The speaker asserts that Congress needs to provide additional funding to the disaster relief fund. They state that the way the question was asked is misinformation. The speaker says there is money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, but additional funding will be needed due to the unknown impact of Hurricane Milton. The speaker claims Congress needs to come back and do their job by providing extra assistance and funding to the disaster relief fund.

The federal government will cover the full cost of rebuilding the bridge in Baltimore. Congress is expected to back this plan. It will be a lengthy process, but we will support the people of Baltimore until the port is operational again and the bridge is reconstructed.

We're mobilizing the Army Corps of Engineers to address urgent needs like fixing riverbanks and roads. I've instructed my team to prepare them for action. It's unclear why progress was slow under the previous administration, but we are now moving forward. In the last couple of days, we've made significant strides, and I assure you that we will provide the necessary resources and support throughout the rebuilding process. No American will be left behind.

Hi, Virginia. Thank you for the warm welcome despite the cold. I'm grateful for the support from North Carolina and committed to helping the state. I plan to visit Los Angeles to address their water issues, but first, I'm here in North Carolina. I want to express disappointment in FEMA, but I’m eager to work with the new governor and local congressmen, especially Michael Watley, to ensure everything goes smoothly. Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse have done incredible work, and I appreciate their efforts. Let’s take a look around and say a few words. Thank you all for your support.

Hello, everyone. We just left North Carolina, where significant progress is being made with the Army Corps of Engineers. The area has been severely impacted, and we're here to address the damage. I appreciate the governor's support as we work towards recovery. This situation is unprecedented, reminiscent of post-World War II devastation. We aim to implement permanent solutions to prevent future occurrences. The governor and I are committed to collaborating closely, as federal assistance will be crucial for recovery. I have full confidence that we can work together effectively. Thank you all for being here, and some of you will join us on the tour.

A container ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge around 1:30. I've crossed that bridge many times commuting from Delaware by train or car.

Hello, I'm Phil Delbano, the special agent in charge of the Baltimore field office. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. There is no evidence of terrorism. The FBI is fully involved, providing resources like crisis response and victim services. Our underwater search teams are on-site. We will continue to support the investigation with our partners. Please be patient as we gather information. Thank you to our partners and everyone who relies on the FBI. We stand with Baltimore.

The speaker claims that while almost $300 billion has gone to Ukraine, people affected by the worst hurricane are being offered only $750 for immediate needs. They assert that North Carolina is a disaster due to a lack of people helping with hurricane recovery, while Georgia is doing a very good job. The speaker says they saw virtually nobody helping in North Carolina and recounts seeing a man whose house was gone sitting on a rock. They believe this man needs monetary help. The speaker mentions that Virginia, Alabama, and South Carolina were also hit hard. Despite President Biden's claim that the response has been robust and well-coordinated, the speaker says nobody agrees with that assessment and that Biden and Vice President Harris should be present and not at fundraisers.

The speaker discusses a hurricane and describes it as an unbelievable human tragedy. They mention seeing a photograph of grandparents and a child on a roof before it collapsed, resulting in their deaths. The speaker expresses sympathy for the victims and desires a robust federal response to save lives and help communities rebuild, particularly those in Appalachia and the Southeast. The speaker commits that when Donald Trump is president again, the government will prioritize its citizens during disasters.

Last week, I appointed Bob Fenton, a top emergency manager, to lead the long-term recovery efforts on Maui. He has been on the ground since before the fires started and will ensure that the community receives all the support the federal government can provide to heal and rebuild quickly. I will receive a virtual report from him on Maui after this meeting. Our goal is to restore the island to its previous state, but even better.

Biden has committed to a 180-day, 100% match on recovery funds, raising questions about how this can be guaranteed with only 10 days left in his administration. This practice is common among administrations to address immediate needs after major disasters. The president has the legal authority to allocate these funds for recovery efforts. It's important to recognize the catastrophic impact on affected communities and ensure that the federal government does everything possible to support their recovery journey.

They have obligated some funds, but only distributed 2%. The speaker suggests visiting the affected area and talking to the people on the ground instead of relying on politicians' words. Almost two weeks after the storm, people had not been provided the resources they desperately needed. Thirteen days after the storm, people were still being rescued and were stuck in higher elevations because the roads were down. They need every available resource and all hands on deck. The rescue and recovery efforts are still ongoing.

We are truly grateful for the dedication of our first responders who work tirelessly to support and help others. We appreciate the support from the president, vice president, and secretary of transportation. Our congressional delegation has been there for us from the start, and we are lucky to have them. Thank you to everyone involved in the efforts to assist and uplift those affected by the recent events.

Biden has committed to a 180-day, 100% match on recovery funds to support communities affected by major disasters. This commitment is based on legal authority that allows the president to allocate funding for immediate recovery needs. The aim is to address the catastrophic impact on these communities and ensure comprehensive federal support during their recovery journey.

I signed executive directives to cut red tape and expedite rebuilding efforts. There's a misconception that homeowners will have to wait 18 months to start; that won't be the case. We need to ensure hazardous waste is managed, but if someone is rebuilding their home similarly, the process should be streamlined. We absolutely need federal support to facilitate this. Homeowners are eager to begin, and I understand their frustration about delays. We will allow them to start the cleanup process immediately. It's essential to define hazardous waste clearly, but we won't let that hinder progress. The goal is to get people back on their properties and moving forward as quickly as possible.
