No, first of all, Ben, thanks for talking about this. This is a big deal, especially as we're getting into hurricane season. I mean, literally we're at the end of May. And let me start at the beginning, okay? The president was right that FEMA needed reform. He was right about that. The emergency management industry has known FEMA's needed reforms.

One of those reforms is that you gotta get FEMA out of Homeland Security. Homeland has bastardized FEMA. They have used FEMA in ways that FEMA was not built for. And they turned FEMA into the grant agency for every other department in Homeland, which got FEMA off its core mission of response and recovery. And that's been well known.

You talk to former administrators of FEMA, Democrat and Republican, and they've all said the same thing, which is why I have a bill with Byron Donalds, of all people, who's running for governor, endorsed by President Trump, to get FEMA out of Homeland. But that's not what they've done, what they've done and what the secretary has done.

And I don't know if the secretary has even done this with the White House, even knowing, OK, the secretary has taken something that needed help and she has completely broken it. I believe what you're going to see is this summer, the secretary has turned FEMA into the Newark airport. I think you're going to see it fail in ways we don't yet know.

And it's just amazing to watch Arkansas, who had met the thresholds that are mandated in the Stafford Act, not get their declaration. And let me explain. In emergency management, time, it's all about time. It's all about going quickly. In fact, that's what the president said. He wanted to speed up FEMA, yet the secretary has made everything slower. Nothing is more efficient.

Remember Doge, Department of Government Efficiency? They forgot the E piece. Efficiency. FEMA's not more efficient. NOAA's not more efficient. In fact, there's not a single thing that is working more efficiently. But FEMA has lost 30% of its workforce. A lot of these were senior people, knew what they were doing. You've got regional offices that are empty. And they're delaying declarations.

Delaying declarations means that states aren't going to spend money. Locals aren't going to spend money. These are fiscally constrained areas. They don't have it. I mean, I said to the speaker and to Steve Scalise and to others, like, you guys know this. Without FEMA, if Louisiana gets hit by, you know, a Category 4 storm, okay, from the Gulf, you know, your state goes bankrupt without FEMA.
