Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.
Before recounting this week's political events, I want to extend my prayers and best wishes to the people of Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia. Hurricanes Helene and Milton left a path of destruction, causing hundreds of fatalities and billions in property loss. The images and stories of the suffering and loss caused by these storms have been heartbreaking.
Thankfully, states led by strong Republican governors are doing their jobs in leading clean-up and rescue efforts after these horrific stormsUnfortunately, North Carolinians are suffering from a ton of damage and an uncoordinated response from the federal and state governments. FEMA has done a terrible job responding to the storms, and that blame lies with Biden and Harris.
FEMA has only distributed 1% of the over $20 billion Congress provided just weeks ago for disaster relief. Biden and Harris should do their job and urgently get the resources out to people and support teams in need rather than complaining about the fact they are being criticized and questioned for their inaction.
Rather than complain, Harris should start doing her job and stop blaming others for her failures… as if “Day One” will be any different. With Kamala, it's always talk, constantly delayed, eventually weak action. By the way, we don’t hear Governor DeSantis complaining about criticism because the people affected are seeing a strong response and progress in Florida. Governor DeSantis is about action, not talk...the opposite of Harris, Biden, and all of the big-government, slow-moving do-nothings in our federal government under this administration. Unfortunately, the mainstream media continues to carry Biden-Harris' polluted water.
This leads us to what this election is really about: STRENGTH vs. WEAKNESS. While President Donald J. Trump is promoting an America First policy agenda, Kamala Harris’ America Last policy is in full swing. Billions are being sent overseas, including $157 million pledged to the terror group Hezbollah, even as they attack our ally Israel and Americans. Yet the Biden-Harris admin only offers $750 to the families who lost everything… their homes, properties, possessions, and, in many cases, their loved ones. Kamala is so out of touch and dangerously liberal. America cannot have a President who puts America Last in their heart, head, speech, and actions — as Kamala so often does.
