Full Episode
Well, here's some instant karma. The Republican governor of Georgia who said that he was supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 election for business reasons. He thinks Trump would be good for business. Of course, I'm talking about Brian Kemp. Well, he just got handed.
some instant karma when the Trump administration denied necessary FEMA aid to Georgia that former President Biden was providing to the state of Georgia. Let me just show you the letter that Brian Kemp received from Donald Trump's FEMA as Trump's trying to gut FEMA.
Then I want to show you some videos where previously Brian Kemp talked about how former President Biden was giving him everything he needed regarding Hurricane Helene and any other disaster, which Donald Trump did not do in 2020. Huh? I might add.
And then Donald Trump was lying about it and saying Biden was not giving the aid and Biden was being rude to Georgia and he was betraying the people of Georgia. Meanwhile, Trump's first act was to literally give the middle finger to the people of Georgia. And you see over and over again, these Republican governors, because of their spineless nature, destroy their own states. Because of what?
Mean tweets by Donald Trump? Mean truth social posts by Donald Trump? It's so pathetic. Let's go through the facts detail by detail here. This is from FEMA in response to the request by Governor Kemp. This is in response to your January 24th, 2025 request for an extension to the cost share waiver under major disaster FEMA-4830-DR that was declared on September 30th, 2024 due to Hurricane Helene.
So it's an extension of what Biden agreed to immediately. You specifically requested an extension of the 100% federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance to 180 days. And you reiterated your request for an increase in the federal cost share for permanent work to 90%.
Based on our review of all of the information available, it has been determined that the increased level of funding you have requested for major disaster FEMA-4830-DR is not warranted. Therefore, I must inform you that your request for an extension of the period of 100% federal funding for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance to 180 days, is denied.
It says FEMA will monitor the situation, but it is otherwise denied. Going back to what Brian Kemp said in 2024, look, You may not like Donald Trump personally, but you like his policies a lot better than Kamala Harris, Kemp said at the Republican gathering. Quote, it's a business decision. You're making a business decision.
Okay, well, our economy was doing well under former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris. 16.4 million jobs were created. They brought inflation caused by Trump, one administration under control. never a month where jobs were lost. Consumer sentiment was feeling better.
