Jonathan Howard of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit and Aerial Recovery reports that news and politicians are misrepresenting the situation on the ground. He asserts that helicopters are essential for reaching those stranded 10-40 miles into the mountains, as ground vehicles are insufficient. He recounts rescuing an 11-year-old baby and an elderly woman with a civilian helicopter, while government officials and media falsely claimed government involvement. Howard claims that civilian helicopters far outnumber military ones in rescue efforts. Despite having his team present, they lack the means to reach those in dire need. He mentions political interference, including attempts to block access and prevent media from documenting the damage. He also describes encountering Air Force helicopter crews grounded due to lack of Title 10 orders, while his special forces contacts are unable to deploy. Howard implores authorities to provide helicopters to save lives, accusing them of inaction that is costing lives.

FEMA administers federal taxpayer dollars for disaster assistance. In North Carolina, disaster victims may receive only $750, while undocumented immigrants can access over $10,000 in aid through nonprofits, covering housing, food, and healthcare. This disparity raises concerns about prioritizing assistance, as citizens face significant needs post-disaster. The situation appears unjust, with taxpayer money supporting individuals who entered the country illegally while American citizens struggle to receive adequate help. The national debt stands at $35 trillion, highlighting the urgency of addressing the needs of U.S. citizens before extending aid to others.

FEMA is present but hindering mission operations. Federal employees have booked entire hotels, leaving no room for those rescued from the mountains. The speaker and team have been working nonstop, lacking sleep and hygiene. The devastation is described as biblical and apocalyptic. Government helicopters are reportedly not being released to those on the ground in remote mountain towns who are requesting body bags. Rescue operations were halted for a presidential photo op, which is considered unconscionable. Donations can be made at saveourallies.com. Those needing rescue can submit information at saveourallies.org. Special operations personnel are working to reach inaccessible areas.

Regarding Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina, a speaker reported that a shelter required stranded refugees to have flip-flops to shower, so 18,000 pairs were delivered. The speaker claimed FEMA wanted to confiscate a pallet of chainsaws meant for locals clearing blocked roads, so it was diverted. Another shipment was rerouted to a neglected senior apartment complex after being stopped for inventory. The speaker asserted neighbors are helping neighbors and criticized government agencies for hindering aid. While expressing gratitude for support from NYPD, fire departments, linemen, and emergency personnel from across the country, the speaker also criticized the government's small financial aid offering. They called for massive supply drops of water, ATVs, chainsaws, and fuel, stating that Western North Carolina will recover with or without government assistance.

Western North Carolina residents desperately need help, and it's local citizens who are stepping up, driving across the state to assist. The situation is dire. Misinformation is hindering aid efforts, particularly the false claim that aid is going to undocumented migrants; FEMA denies this. Taxpayer money is being spent on housing migrants in luxury hotels in New York City, funds that could be redirected for immediate relief in North Carolina. We need to address the current crisis first. There are separate funding streams for different needs, but the current situation demands immediate attention and a focus on those directly affected by the disaster.

Jonathan Howard of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit and Aerial Recovery reports that news and politicians are misrepresenting the situation on the ground. He asserts that helicopters are essential for reaching those stranded 10-40 miles into the mountains, as ground vehicles are insufficient. He recounts rescuing an 11-year-old baby and an elderly woman with a civilian helicopter, while government officials falsely claimed credit. Howard claims that civilian helicopters far outnumber military ones in rescue efforts. His team is present but lacks the means to reach those in need. While his congresswoman secured two contracted helicopters, he questions the overall lack of military involvement. He alleges that CNN was prevented from filming the worst-hit areas and that political issues initially hindered his team's entry. Military helicopters are reportedly grounded awaiting orders, while people are dying due to lack of access.

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.

FEMA is present but hindering rescue missions. Federal employees are occupying hotel rooms while rescue personnel lack accommodation. The speaker describes "biblical level devastation" and "apocalyptic" scenes. Government helicopters are reportedly being withheld from delivering aid to isolated mountain towns, now requesting body bags. Rescue helicopters were grounded for a presidential photo op. To donate or request assistance, visit saveourallies.com or saveourallies.org. The organization uses special operations personnel and partnerships to reach inaccessible areas.

Regarding Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina, a speaker reported that a shelter wouldn't allow stranded refugees to shower without flip-flops, so 18,000 pairs were delivered. The speaker also claimed FEMA wanted to confiscate a pallet of chainsaws meant for locals clearing blocked roads, so it was diverted. A shipment meant for neglected seniors was also rerouted to avoid inventory delays. The speaker emphasized neighbors helping neighbors and circumventing government obstacles. While expressing gratitude for support from NYPD, fire departments, linemen, and emergency personnel, the speaker criticized government agencies for hindering aid. The speaker also stated that the announced financial aid was insufficient and called for massive supply drops of water, ATVs, chainsaws, and fuel, asserting that Western North Carolina will recover with or without government assistance.

Kamala Harris turned FEMA into an illegal alien resettlement agency, which caused Americans in North Carolina to be left to die during a disaster. FEMA's manpower, dollars, resources, and mental energy were spent learning how to get illegal aliens into the country. Therefore, when disaster struck, FEMA was not ready, prepared, capable, or caring. The speaker claims that helicopters and military assistance were not sent to help American citizens, including babies and children. However, the speaker asserts that if the victims had been living in a foreign country like Haiti or Venezuela, Kamala Harris would have sent help immediately. The speaker describes this as a betrayal.

Kamala Harris and the Democratic party are not wanted in North Carolina. Undocumented immigrants are allegedly given more rights than Americans, including thousands in food stamps. Harris is supposedly giving people in the mountains $750. Those who choose to stay and rebuild after the hurricane need government assistance, food stamps, and bi-weekly checks. Some people are allegedly slashing tires to prevent aid from being delivered. The speaker questions when the hurricane became political, noting the destruction and a perceived lack of care from those in office. Law enforcement and first responders should allegedly allow people to help, as private helicopters are providing more aid than the army. The speaker expresses outrage at the thought of losing everything in the hurricane.

The speaker is in Boone, North Carolina, volunteering with canines for search and rescue efforts. They were told to avoid FEMA agents because FEMA is allegedly confiscating supplies. According to people associated with the speaker's volunteer group, FEMA is taking these supplies to sanctuary areas for illegal migrants while telling locals they have no money. The speaker claims to have witnessed similar behavior from FEMA in Puerto Rico during and after Hurricanes Maria and Irma, where the Coast Guard had to distribute supplies directly due to FEMA's actions. The speaker asserts that FEMA is doing the same thing in North Carolina. The speaker is heading to a different area via helicopter to search for missing families. They advise viewers not to donate to FEMA but to find legitimate people to donate through. The speaker states that FEMA is confiscating supplies and giving them to illegal migrants instead of the affected people. They plan to provide updates as they get them.

Experienced hikers, horseback riders, and those with helicopters, dirt bikes, ATVs, or side-by-sides are needed in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. The speaker urges people to ignore news reports saying they aren't needed, stating that local people need help with search and rescue. FEMA and the American Red Cross are reportedly not present. The speaker says manpower is needed to recover bodies and rescue survivors who have been without food and water for a week. Automobiles and trucks cannot access the affected areas. The speaker claims that if people with private helicopters are threatened with arrest for helping, the American people will support them. The speaker describes the smell of death in the towns and along the river, and says bodies are washing up on the banks, potentially reaching Santee Cooper, South Carolina. The speaker claims the military has not been deployed due to the administration's refusal to sign orders. The speaker asks viewers to share the video widely.

A North Carolina resident says that after Hurricane Helene, Asheville was "totally wiped out," and residents have not received FEMA's promised $750 relief. The speaker questions why funds are going to Ukraine and Israel while the local homeless population remains large and roads are in disrepair. Speaker 1 confirms visiting western North Carolina after the hurricane and witnessing the aftermath, including homeless people lacking necessities and unrecovered bodies. The speaker claims that when a similar question was posed to the White House press secretary, the response was that the question was disinformation. The speaker accuses the government of prioritizing other interests over Americans and labels the response a characteristic of dictatorships, where criticism is equated to treason. The speaker emphasizes the importance of free speech and holding the government accountable.

A person in Western North Carolina reports rescue choppers are still flying overhead on day 6. They feel survivor's guilt because their town was spared, but a nearby town was completely wiped out, with everyone killed. The speaker claims the media is lying and people are being threatened with arrest if they try to help. They express disbelief that the government is preventing people from saving each other. The situation is described as beyond a nightmare, with bodies everywhere, possibly including displaced caskets from flooded cemeteries. The speaker asserts the only people providing aid are the survivors themselves. They express anger towards the government's response to the disaster.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but the military isn't here, unlike during Hurricane Katrina. The American people should be angry at the government's inaction. People are hurting and dying. I saw young children searching for their parents and brought them to a church. The military is being restrained by DOD executives. The government isn't helping us, so we must take care of ourselves. Towns are self-policing. We need water, food, and clothes. I'm grateful for my motel room but feel guilty. A man was arrested for dropping off food in the mountains because he was supposedly interfering with a government operation, but there are no operations happening. It's sickening how the government treats Americans, offering minimal aid after sending billions overseas. Mayorkas is a traitor.

The government allocated $584 million to assist illegal immigrants through Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services while claiming they couldn't find funds to help American victims of hurricanes and wildfires. During this time, families in North Carolina were living in tents, and those in Los Angeles were facing wildfires, yet the government couldn't provide them with housing. This stark contrast raises serious concerns about priorities. Regardless of political affiliation, if you think this is acceptable, it reflects a disregard for American citizens. Complaining about the exposure of this issue only shows a lack of concern for the situation at hand.

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.

FEMA is allegedly halting search and rescue efforts because people are angry about receiving limited aid after their homes were destroyed. The speaker claims FEMA is willing to spend billions on foreign wars and undocumented immigrants, but not on its own citizens. The speaker expresses outrage that people are being told not to "stir the pot" when they are being taken advantage of. The speaker advocates rebelling against FEMA and what they call "pay for force."

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.

A list shows cities, states, and NGOs receiving $1 billion from FEMA to house illegal aliens, funded by American taxpayers. It's unacceptable to spend this money on migrants while Americans in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida remain homeless and without support. Congress is changing direction to prioritize American citizens over migrants, as this situation is viewed as a failure to the American people. Many are outraged that their tax dollars are used to assist those who have entered the country illegally, while Americans suffer. This misallocation of resources is seen as a significant failure, and there are serious consequences for the American public due to border issues. We cannot allow this to continue.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but unlike Hurricane Katrina, the military isn't here. The speaker is angry because the government isn't helping despite the destruction and lack of news coverage. Children are orphaned and people are dying. The military is being "hamstrung" by DOD executives. Towns are self-policing, and locals are welcoming help. The area needs water, food, and clothes. A man was arrested for delivering food via helicopter for interfering with a nonexistent government operation. The speaker is disgusted by the government's treatment of Americans, especially compared to foreign aid. They call politicians traitors.

Colonel Douglas McGregor presents an alternative view of the state of the union, criticizing the government's failure to secure basic necessities like energy and food. He highlights issues such as government overspending, inflation, high mortgage rates, and national security concerns. McGregor calls for securing borders, avoiding unnecessary conflicts, restoring the rule of law, and revitalizing the economy through energy independence and manufacturing. He emphasizes the need to prioritize American interests and unity to restore prosperity, equality, and peace. McGregor urges citizens to join the movement at Our Country, Our Choice.com to save America.

Since the hurricane hit, North Carolina has received no help from any organization except Mark Robinson. Every organization is shutting them down, putting chains on their supplies, and stopping their pilots. FEMA has not appeared. All assistance has been citizen-led, with pilots paying for their own gas for over 400 flights. Mark Robinson is the only one who has stood beside the state.

The speaker criticizes the government's response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and Tennessee, stating there has been no government aid. Entire towns are inaccessible due to mudslides and downed power lines, with doctors walking to reach people. Civilians are digging out mudslides by hand, and there is no power or water. The government is allegedly threatening to arrest people delivering supplies via helicopter. Meanwhile, civilians are organizing aid, with one man in Burnsville, North Carolina, named Warren, going door-to-door to check on people and posting a list of names on Facebook. His wife is making food. The speaker claims Joe Biden said the government is doing all it can for North Carolina, while Kamala Harris is holding a fundraiser for her campaign in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
