They're 10 miles in, 20 miles, 40 miles in the mountains.

There's no way to get with them or even communicate with them.

I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking for SOS messages carved in the mud or paint on the ground, and we're dropping down and saving them.

What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11-day-old baby.

And all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that they have some government help with that.

And I mean, even USA, I think it was USA Today wrote an article about it saying it was a Florida National Guard that went and got it like with a helicopter.

No, it was me, my buddy Charlie and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmington, North Carolina.

Like without that civilian, that baby would be dead.

And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead too because she had one day left of oxygen.

No one was going to go get them.

I will tell you, when we go up in the air, I probably see 40 civilian helicopters, and I might see two Blackhawks, National Guard, military, whatever they are.

That's it.

No one's out there doing rescues.

I have my entire team up here from Florida right now, and they have no ability to go rescue these people other than what they can drive to.

The people that are in dire need, they're out in the mountains.

They are completely cut off.

Now, I will say, I spoke to

My congresswoman down in Florida, and she's a badass, and she made a bunch of phone calls, and now we got two contracted 60s coming up here tomorrow, which is great.

I love that, but I still don't understand why we don't have more helicopters.

We'll get a lot of work done with that, but there's no military.
