So, you know, Byron, obviously someone from Florida, his district was hit by Hurricane Ian. Right. He knows how important it is. He's running for governor. And so, you know, I've made this case to him and I was happy that he signed on. We also have a bipartisan bicameral bill in the Senate. You got Tom Tillis and Senator Padilla. Right? So you got North Carolina and California.
So this is a bipartisan, bicameral piece of legislation to reform FEMA. But of course, we can't get it moved while Kristi Noem talks about eliminating FEMA. She's even talked about taking pieces of FEMA and dividing it out and giving it to other agencies. Why? Because that will be efficient. Okay?

So, you know, the Trump administration's got a lot going on and the American people have a lot going on with their overday lives and stuff. that's being thrown at them every day. But I'm telling you, this FEMA thing is much bigger. And just like everything else with emergency management, we pay no attention to it when we're in blue skies.

But as soon as that gray sky hits, as soon as that disaster hits, FEMA is very important. And if we don't pay attention to it now, if it's not ready for hurricane season, the results are going to be devastating.

Yeah. I mean, look, I joined the Doge caucus. I remember. OK, because I was like, most Americans think government does spend too much money and government can get more efficient. Right. And I didn't want to give Republicans this idea that they're the only ones who care about government spending and efficiency. Barack Obama had a program on that. So did Bill Clinton, led by Al Gore. Right.

Right.
And so that's why I joined. Now, I can tell you the Doge caucus in Congress has been totally left out of the process. We weren't involved. We're a defunct organization. OK, Elon did it all himself and he didn't do efficiency. He did Project 2025. He just fired people. He cut programs. I mean, you know, they're cutting NOAA and the Weather Service.

You're not going to balance the budget off the Weather Service. It's a joke. But they want to privatize the Weather Service. And so they did all this stuff, chapter and verse, right out of it. The guy at OMB wrote it all. I feel somewhat vindicated. I mean, Democrats were walking around with this giant Project 2025 book like it was a tablet from Moses. And actually, they wound up doing that stuff.

Yeah, we were right about that. Doge did not do efficiency. In fact, there's not a piece of government right now that is more efficient. Okay. Yeah, they've cut stuff, but they've made the departments less efficient as a result.
