And it looks like, John, we're literally on our way to capitulation. And so, you know, this is taking health care away from our most vulnerable to try to offset some of these tax cuts. They're still going to add trillions of dollars to debt. Don't listen to me. Just listen to Chip Roy or Thomas Massey who are saying that.

I'm deeply concerned what they're doing with FEMA. I mean, look, I'm from Florida. I'm a former director of emergency management. I'm the only director, former director of emergency management in all of Congress. But if they actually do what Kristi Noem wants to do with FEMA, which is get rid of it, which is what she said, chop it up and give it to other agencies, which won't be more efficient.

It'll make it worse if she wants to mess with reimbursement. I mean, you could have a state like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. They could go bankrupt. If they get a category four storm and they don't have federal reimbursement, if the federal government isn't coming out and organizing resources, you know, because FEMA doesn't have a lot of resources. It's DOD that's got the resources.

Other agencies, FEMA organizes that and brings it. If no one's doing that after Katrina for Louisiana or Helene in North Carolina, people are going to die. And these places are not going to have a good response, and they're not going to recover. I did Hurricane Michael. That was one of the recoveries I did in the Panhandle. Extremely poor area, all Republican, by the way.

Without the money the federal government sent in the first Trump administration, these towns would never recover. They'd be gone. And so this is something that, you know, we're not talking about, but we're getting into hurricane season and I'm worried about whether or not FEMA is going to work.

There are there are people in the Trump administration, the West Wing, OK, that are from Florida and know this. They got to stop the secretary who's never done a disaster cleanup in her entire life, being from being the governor where she was. OK, that that this is needed. That doesn't mean there doesn't need to be reformed. Ben, FEMA does need to reform. They need to get faster, smaller.

They need to get out of Homeland. They need to stop doing all of the immigration grants. Let ICE and Homeland run their own grants. FEMA shouldn't be running them. Okay, so there are things we can fix, but to get rid of this for the American people would be devastating beyond belief. And I haven't even talked about what they've done at NOAA
