Trump is going to do it! He will defund everything to give the rich tax breaks! Get ready for all government support and funding to end! On January 20th, we will be on our own! Hope everyone is happy with that!
@@mare_sheep9724 This is correct. I live in Yancey County and I know a few of the Sheriffs and the 911 operator and all of them have told them as of Nov 12th there were still over 8-900 missing in Yancey County alone. I don't know where that number is at now but it was that high from the beginning and hasn't gotten much smaller after numerous headcounts.
If a body or body part is found, it IS NOT listed until it is identified. Many will never be identified. This is the way FEMA works. I just found this out this week. That is why the number is only 200 and something.
You haven’t even begun to find the dead! There are so many lives lost that have not even been reported. Get to working with those folks instead of hearings on help. Get to work helping!
What is needed today is to keep humans alive, cold will take lives as much as surprise flash flooding. Get our fellow Americans out of the tents and into heated living spaces.
That is the most asini.... bullshit, ridden excuse that has ever been given. This is the only situation where thousands of bodies have been found but not added to the count. When you find a Missing person Dead on the side of the road you still count them as a Dead Body even though they may not be identified for days weeks or even decades. When will the line to the American people stop?.
Okay, where are all the friends and family of the dead not being counted? Why aren't they rioting in the streets demanding to know where their loved ones are?
@ one of my sisters colleagues in the school where she works lost 11 people in her family that’s one person alone. An entire homeless community vanished. They were at least 300 people in the Asheville homeless community.. 230 deaths over several states?
@rangerswife2176 Yeah, and Billy Bob told me that his first cousins next-door neighbor saw 1000 bodies floating down the river! Why would anyone be covering up the death toll? Where are friends and family saying my loved one is missing and "they" aren't doing anything about it?
As a disaster relief volunteer who’s been on the ground in western nc since Helene hit. FEMA has done a absolute shit job “caring” for the victims of this storm. It’s time to trim the fat in the government.
Thank you for your honesty in what is a mess here with FEMA. If it wasn’t for volunteers, Samaritan’s Purse, TheBaptists and others this would be even more devastating. I want to recognize the local fire departments, emergency workers, and police who also worked tirelessly along with the local churches. No one cared what political party you were, what race, what religion. Everyone was out to help everyone. In fact there were instances where FEMA was a detriment to the recovery rather than a help.
A lot of what he said is good but he began with an outright lie. All no thousands have died and hundreds more are missing...... At least the people living here and living through it know that.... the rest of America is being lied to by the media And our corrupt Local state and federal government
Helene took more than 230 in NC alone. Foxtrot, Echo, Mike, Alpha is sittin on hundreds of people. In NC alone they still havn't made it in the hills and hollars. Hundreds in tents still and homeowners having to drive over an hour to Asheville to pick up Foxtrot Echo Mike Alpha worker to view his home and offered him $27K for what was a nice creekside abode with a brand new addition which had just been completed. This is BS!
Amazing how fast other countries have disaster s and money and supplies are just flown out so fast right after it happened,but if it happens upon American soil it takes days and even weeks go by before they get any help of anything, this is clearly shameful actions from our own money grubbin government officials.
I live in one of the most heavily impacted areas and we didn't get evacuation warnings via text on our phones until after phone and electric service were already out. Maybe for people directly in the city proper got notifications sooner but folks like me 20 minutes from town, we didn't get those texts until we were able to get back on Wi-Fi after the storm.
We still need help. There are people living in their cars and in the upper floors of their homes because the bottom floors are filled with mud and hundreds more living in tents. Where are the trailers for these people in my community and the surrounding counties
FEMA will not allow their trailers to be put on land that is included in the floodplane. Most everyone's property is included in that. That rule needs dropped for these survivors. Call or email NC politicians.
Fema, National Guard, should have already been in place. Gov Cooper let WNC down .. with unprepared response.. what is the Undisclosed FEMA compound for?
I am so sick of the same number of lives lost since day one. This is a slap in the face to those survivors! I live in and around the cities that were devastated! One testimony needed more than 12,000 bags! Don't forget that along the French Broad River road there was a homeless camp who didn't even know what was coming! ow many lives were lost in that alone? They are still looking for bodies in other areas. We have decades of cleanup to do from what I read too.
Is anyone smart enough to run this kind of disaster and its recovery? America must do better. These disasters are happening more frequent now, let’s learn and fix it ASAP.
Y'all should be shamed of yourselves . Republican party looked the other way. There are still counting the dead. Housing, sheltet, food, clothing. They are getting support from the church. Help from other states. Volunteers, y'all need to do better for these folks. Many have nothing.
Private citizens are having to find and pay for cadaver dogs. There’s not enough. Private citizens are flying helicopters with infrared to find bodies. Private citizens are building bridges. Private citizens are organizing places for people to stay so they aren’t in tents during winter. Where is the U.S. Army Corp of engineers? They helped after Katrina! Why doesn’t anyone understand the scope of what has happened? I could go on and on!
U lie.there r still thousands rolled into mulch on that mountain ,more still missing,bodies in, trees n bushes and the stench is horrific. The water will melt ur boots off, but it's all they had.one volunteer said u could pick up a black arm n a white arm n it would b counted as a body.kid's watched parents washed down the mountain and vice versa, dead animals waste,everywhere, biohazard, where's hazmat? Ppl r puking just trying to work.a woman went down the mountain in her house.cps is coming 4 the children, no suitable living ,they r still on the ground in tents! They're goin to freeze 2 death.ppl still haven't been reached.where's msm? One story n they're done.we know what fema didn't do,we live here.stop spreading lies.I'll make sure it's all over x n fb,n elon n trump know what you've done.
Unfortunately, the dead can't be counted until, with dental records or DNA ,the bodies or parts are identified and first of kin notified. They won't know, we won't know until then. Some will never be found. They should acknowledge this! I live close to Craigtown, which is gone. Cane Creek is right across the road. The horror of this little section can't be told it has to be seen
I feevently pray that when President Trump goes into office, he will help these poor Americans. I dont believe Fema has done everything possible to help those people. I say they have done very very little. But the government would walk over glass to help people who don't belong here. They have a warm place to stay, food and clean water to drink while Americans dont. Shame , shame on them. They disgust me.
FEMA Has 14 houses on the way for the storm survivors, while they have spent millions building 3 huge compounds in WNC to house government officials. Each can hold around 750 this makes a total of over 2000 federal officials in temporary housing, while our people sleep outside and many are freezing or dying of pneumonia. This is an atrocity, and it needs to be investigated. Governor Cooper needs to be investigated also for his total lack of response to this, the biggest natural disaster in our country's history since the 1800s when the Mississippi river flowed backward.
You did absolutely nothing to help the people in WNC. All I heard from you the whole time was how good FEMA was and how they were helping us here. You have no business representing us here in WNC.
How nice to collect a hefty paycheck and never spend a moment at the disaster and lie about the number of lives lost. There are dozens upon dozens of videos from survivors saying the lives lost are in the thousands and that FEMA hasn’t shown up or has come by to take donated supplies.
I call for the arrest and interrogations of the base commanders of Fort Bragg (Ft. Liberty) and Charleston Air Force Base for following air/rescue stand down orders.
Power prayers HUMANITY. Demanding justice for crimes against " Helene efforts" !!! WWG1WGA AGAINST TYRANNY of all nations governments sucking funding to "HUMANITY " !!!! In America !!! Thankyou. ❤❤❤.
The death toll is way higher than 200+! Add a few more zero’s and you might be close to the number! They have not accounted for the homeless that lived along the river, a lot of the debris was not searched for bodies, and if the body was not whole or intact when found, it has not been accounted for. Gail
The institution of FEMA brought together under one roof the wide and varied response of the Federal Government to disaster, replacing the former policy of assigning roles and responsibility to each Federal agency, and offering for the first time direct financial aid to victims. EEMA did not carry on the economic recovery operations of the Office of Emergency Planning attached to the President, and enabled the subsequent Presidents to enjoy a rest from their former duties.
I have neighbors living in one or two undamaged rooms while the rest of the house is ruined. They have tarps on the roof and survived the wind and snow last week. Debris is still piled up on the sides of the roads all over our town. It is a mess.
If you can’t figure out what “They” are doing or why, look at the outcome and infer the motivation. If it produces mayhem perhaps it is simply aiming at mayhem.
We need to dissolve fema completely instead replace it with a new people run department. The ministers/ people have run an effective/ efficient operation. A lesson for all government departments. Problem solved
It's as if enough time has passed, therefore things are automatically back to normal....far from it! We STILL need the roads fixed! We STILL need money!
It appears that the soldier-like attitude of the government cares not for citizens and more for saving face. We will never know all the dead, so many lived in poverty with little connection to society. 😮
This guy needs to quit reading these stats like he's reading a novel...this non of it even comes close to truth, where did his info come from?..just a CYA...SITUATION FOR HIM I 🤔 THINK
This is an example of why FEMA should be overhauled from the ground up.
Trump is going to do it! He will defund everything to give the rich tax breaks! Get ready for all government support and funding to end! On January 20th, we will be on our own! Hope everyone is happy with that!
I think you mean "razed" into the dirt... 🤔 🚜
Those are lies thousands are dead and missing.
Anyone that doesn’t mention it is complicit
They're finding body parts in the mud. They found a couple dead in their tent from the cold.
I've heard they(the authorities) only are counting those identified.

Thousands missing, thounsdays deceased.
As a resident of NC, I would like to know how many people are on the "missing person" list. I know the death toll is WAY understated...
The government will never give that
I saw video where a SAR team said 500 plus missing?
If a body or body part is found, it IS NOT listed until it is identified. Many will never be identified. This is the way FEMA works. I just found this out this week. That is why the number is only 200 and something.
People continue to die because of the LACK of HELP!
You haven’t even begun to find the dead! There are so many lives lost that have not even been reported. Get to working with those folks instead of hearings on help. Get to work helping!
Clearly he is part of the coverup.
They aren't looking. They are setting the rubble on fire instead. They aren't even checking to see if people are injured or trapped first.
ABSOLUTELY… OH LET ME TELL YOU… GOVT PPL HACKED MY VERY OWN ACCTS TO DECLARE THEIR INTENTION *PURPOSELY NOT TO HELP!!*
I wish you could tell me exactly what the coverup of missing folks is useful for.
What is needed today is to keep humans alive, cold will take lives as much as surprise flash flooding. Get our fellow Americans out of the tents and into heated living spaces.
They know what they are doing regardless of who is in politics... PERIOD
Were issues?
There are still issues.
THEY STILL NEED HELP!!!!
YES! Housing, for a start.
There is no way those numbers are anywhere close to being accurate
Those only include the ones that they found AND identified without question.
@@tobygrimm7865 they give the death count in Valencia Spain at about the same thing 213 I think. The people there have been rioting
That is the most asini.... bullshit, ridden excuse that has ever been given. This is the only situation where thousands of bodies have been found but not added to the count. When you find a Missing person Dead on the side of the road you still count them as a Dead Body even though they may not be identified for days weeks or even decades. When will the line to the American people stop?.
They need FEMA to give them trailers because they can't stay in tents in the winter cold freezing weather!!!
Ask NCDF what they are doing. Or OIG. DHS has the funds, staff. The agency mgrs know it! Region 4, JFO5 trained 100s of reserve SBA & FEMA workers.
FEMA spent the entire budget to give to illegal immigrants.
Screw fema
They don’t count the people they haven’t recovered from the rubble. Come on government get it together please, people need help.
They were told at least seven dead or injured people were in a 30 foot pile of rubble. FEMA set it on fire and didn't try to rescue anyone.
They are setting the rubble on fire. They aren't looking for people.
You need to stay out there! These folks need trailers with heat! We are better than this. FIND THE MONEY. AMERICANS FIRST>
So sad to see the dregs of bureaucracy when it comes to helping Americans.
Countless dead. Unidentified. Swept away for good. Please no more lies.
230 deaths???????!!! Impossible the count could be that low.
Okay, where are all the friends and family of the dead not being counted? Why aren't they rioting in the streets demanding to know where their loved ones are?

pretty simple to me, Stop hiring people out of guilt or sympathy. hire based on merit!
4:16 they weren't delivered at all you fool. You paid people to help that never helped

What about the 3 dams that "broke"?
A statement needs to be made about the number
of unidentified bodies and number of estimated missing.
Yep!
There’s way more fatalities than what he says
Get relief to those still hurting in the Helene stricken area. Quit it with the bombs and stuff going abroad! Enough is enough already!
More deaths than u say, very sad
The fed gov't is not concerned with American pain!
My God have mercy on the people effected by this disgusting inhumanity!

Fema, National Guard, should have already been in place. Gov Cooper let WNC down .. with unprepared response.. what is the Undisclosed FEMA compound for?
And NC voters are keeping the same corrupt and utterly incompetent administration and party in power! Why?!
Those warnings didn't disperse widely enough and many didn't know about that warning.

FEMA and the national guard should have already been there before the storm even hit. Biltmore village was already flooded on Wednesday😮
The National Guards from CT and other states were out here very quickly
They need to quit having hearings. There are people here living in damn tents and it 30 degrees.
Is anyone smart enough to run this kind of disaster and its recovery? America must do better. These disasters are happening more frequent now, let’s learn and fix it ASAP.
Put Ron DeSantis in charge!
I second that motion. Ron DeSantis needs to run FEMA
This man looses me, when he lies about the number of deaths! There is no way he doesn’t know the truth. Just another puppet!😡
Absolutely, and the puppet needs to go!!!!! You're fired. Let's organize a recall.
Why is it not even mentioned the hundreds of bodies and thousands of body parts that have not been identified?
Y'all should be shamed of yourselves . Republican party looked the other way. There are still counting the dead. Housing, sheltet, food, clothing. They are getting support from the church. Help from other states. Volunteers, y'all need to do better for these folks. Many have nothing.
Fema has been a joke!
Help is on the way! ... TRUMP 💪🇺🇲
I wont believe it until I see it.
Tell speaker Johnson to fund FEMA. Republicans voted against funding for hurricane relief.
The real question is who does FEMA answer to?
Response? Is that none?
Fatality count is fake - people living in tents with little heat and temps in the 20’s and 30’s coming up that is not fake!
Private citizens are having to find and pay for cadaver dogs. There’s not enough. Private citizens are flying helicopters with infrared to find bodies. Private citizens are building bridges.

This is incredibly under reporting the reality of the disaster, and response from FEMA. So sad.
The storm took more than a 1000 lives....not a couple
FEMA Has 14 houses on the way for the storm survivors, while they have spent millions building 3 huge compounds in WNC to house government officials. Each can hold around 750 this makes a total of over 2000 federal officials in temporary housing, while our people sleep outside and many are freezing or dying of pneumonia.

Im just an ole working country boy but theres not a doubt i could have done a lot better.
And that's where the majority of the help came from...good ole country boys❤
Mr.Edward's denial of local corruption in WNC is part of the problem.
Those number are sorely under reported. The numbers missing are much higher.
Thanks for putting that on the record. The media spread that you were there and no everybody that spoke up we're lying.
You did absolutely nothing to help the people in WNC. All I heard from you the whole time was how good FEMA was and how they were helping us here. You have no business representing us here in WNC.
And toxic chemicals left behind are life threatening
How nice to collect a hefty paycheck and never spend a moment at the disaster and lie about the number of lives lost. There are dozens upon dozens of videos from survivors saying the lives lost are in the thousands and that FEMA hasn’t shown up or has come by to take donated supplies.
For the past two months this man has been gaslighting us, his own constituents about FEMA. It's too late Chuck!
Over 800 kids sleeping in tents in one county alone.
Delegate & , recruit those in disaster areas part of this new investigation ., Let’s hear the truth. I’ll volunteer about my neighborhood.
Unbelievable
FEMA should have been on the move there before the storm even finished and the death toll is way more higher😢
Response delays...20 days! Like he said, what if this was a terrorist attack? Infuriating!
Liar. Thousands died. These people are in tents. You lie lie. 230 lives? How can you live with yourself knowing you're lying about how many died
I call for the arrest and interrogations of the base commanders of Fort Bragg (Ft. Liberty) and Charleston Air Force Base for following air/rescue stand down orders.
Talk is not cheap anymore. Stating the obvious, and re-stating the obvious over and over is insulting.
Who put this guy behind a microphone? The only thing worse than his reading is his comb over!
How about telling the American people how many lives were lost in North Carolina not to mention the other states affected.

According to SARS teams 10,000 dead. Agreed had the most incompetent response.. Military should have been activated Day 2
The institution of FEMA brought together under one roof the wide and varied response of the Federal Government to disaster, replacing the former policy of assigning roles and responsibility to each Federal agency, and offering for the first time direct financial aid to victims.
