There's no there there.
It literally is meaningless.
Actually, the only thing meaningful is he calls for an audit of his own federal agency, which I think was a good idea.
And the also meaningful thing is that he refuses to meaningfully address the issue for recovery, and that is the gaps between your insurance, the cost of construction, which has gone up because of his tariffs and his mass deportations and the impacts of those things,

Interestingly on that, to their credit, Republican leaders in Congress
not just Democratic leaders, including yesterday, are calling on the president to send that disaster supplemental on behalf of American people.

Doug LaMalfa, man of principle, of character, extraordinary American, also supported my recall, Doug.

Speaker Johnson was there.

I couldn't have a chance to engage with him.
He gave beautiful remarks, he really did, about Doug.
And he talked in principled terms, just not reflected in the work he does when he's in Washington, D.C., sadly.
