It really helps us out. Vice President Kamala Harris was on the ground yesterday in some hurricane ravaged areas of the country
0:38
And she made a promise. She made a promise to these people. A promise of assistance
0:43
And among that assistance, and I got to think about how to word this without getting furious myself
0:51
I've already been furious about it. If your life has been ruined, destroyed, you can't buy groceries, you have no place to live, no shelter
0:59
no food, no water, no heat, no hot water, no air conditioning, whatever the case may be
1:04
If your life, your precious memories, everything was wiped out. You have no car anymore, no job to go to because that got flooded
1:11
Everything's destroyed. Don't you worry. Because Kamala Harris and the federal government are here to help you
1:19
Oh they here to help you with a grand total of Now of course there going to be other aid shelter probably clothing and food given by the government
1:32
Great. But for the essentials that you need, the cash, you're going to get $750
1:40
Well, you'd be better off being an illegal immigrant in New York, Chicago, L.A., where you'd get a ton of money, thousands of dollars on debit cards
1:51
So you can buy food and pay your rent and do things like that
1:55
See, we have enough money to give them thousands upon thousands of dollars. But we don't have enough money to give Americans more than that's $750
2:04
Gosh, it's almost as big of a slap in the face as it was to the people of Maui
2:09
Yeah, American citizens in Maui who got slapped in the face. With enough money, basically, to do nothing
2:18
Buy a couple of meals. That's it. that's your federal government that's their idea of help
2:25
unless you're an illegal immigrant then they got you then no problem
2:29
we got plenty of money for you tens of thousands of dollars at your disposal
2:33
if you're an illegal immigrant American citizens in Maui American citizens in North Carolina
2:39
Florida Tennessee forget you now we got no use for you we can't give you
2:46
what we give the people who immigrated here illegally broke our laws to come here from other countries We can help you like we can help them If you not furious you not paying attention
2:58
I want you to watch her. I want you to watch her say this with a straight face
3:02
And then let me know what you think in the comments. In the way that they do that work, the president and I have been paying close attention from the beginning
3:13
to what we need to do to make sure the federal. resources hit the ground as quickly as possible, and that includes what was necessary to make
3:24
sure that we provided direct federal assistance, and that work has been happening
3:29
I want to thank the governor for his leadership and his close coordination with the federal
3:36
government, with our administration, and I want to thank the local leaders for together creating
3:40
a task force-like response, knowing that we are at our best when we work together and
3:47
coordinate resources, coordinate our communications to the maximum effect for the community
3:53
that has been impacted. And the federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing
4:03
$750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like
4:11
And you can apply now for anyone who is watching this who has been affected There are FEMA personnel who are going door to door to interact personally with folks especially those who do not have electricity
4:23
but also that aid, if you have electricity, can be applied for online
4:29
and I encourage people to do that. FEMA will just basically verify your address
4:33
and then process should take hold. FEMA is also providing tens of thousands more dollars
4:40
for folks to help them be able to deal with, home repair to be able to cover a deductible when and if they have insurance and also hotel cost
4:50
Today I'm also announcing that the President has approved the governor's request for 100 percent
4:57
federal reimbursement of local costs. And Mayor, as you have pointed out, the burden to local governments, including the state government
5:08
is pretty immense. And so by announcing today and making the debtor
5:13
resources to cover 100% of local costs will have a huge impact on our ability to get relief to people as quickly as possible
5:22
And that will include, for example, what the federal government will do to reimburse local and state governments around issues like debris removal
5:29
which you can see just up and down this street, much less in other areas of the state and in the region
5:35
This is a big issue. I was speaking with... Thank you
