We will make it with or without you because what stands behind me is all due to the generosity of other people. again, this is what we got last night, four palates of water, three palates of meals and three -- 12 pallets of infant food, which i gave them where people are drinking off a creek. so i am done being polite. i am done being politically correct. i am mad as hell. because my peoples lives are at stake. and we are but one nation. we may be small but we are huge in dignity and zealous for...

They should have happened. i had to give the rations that i got yesterday from fema, three or four pallets of water, three or four pallets of food and four pallets of baby supplies to another town because they had not received one bottle of water at the time of the so the plans are in place, but the reality does not go and does not fit to the plans that you have. so you have to do what the marines, you adapt, you improvise, you overcome. and this situation of talking about the debt. who is going...

That do not work in a situation like the one that we have. i am sure the president wants to help. yesterday i got a call from the chief of staff himself that asked what we needed. but still, things didnt happen as fast as they should have happened. i had to give the rations that i got yesterday from fema, three or four pallets of water, three or four pallets of food, four pallets of baby supplies, to the town of comario because they have not received one bottle of water at the time. so the plans...

Provide a lot more. i was asked yesterday for the first time to go to a distribution center about 30 miles from san juan. now thats 30 miles from san juan to get three pallets of water and food. of course anything is important. but wouldnt it be more logical in terms of logistical support to get 21 pallets of water and 21 pallets of food, whatever youre going to give me, give me for a weeks work. so that way, i can have my people working where theyre supposed to and i dont have to use the diesel...

>> what do you want the white house to do? >> well yesterday -- again, i was privileged and thankful and very hopeful when i got a call and things started moving in san juan. i asked them and let them know that san juan could be a point of distribution, and we are closer in going to the northeastern part of the island. if diesel is a problem and you have to go 40 miles to get three pallets of water, and why dont they give you the 21 ballots of water for the week. i dont know who said it, i heard...

Three pallets of water, how many bottles is that? >> thats about 4,132 bottles of water for a population of 350,000. i mind you, not all of them are in need. we are doing -- somebody just said great job. >> we heard. >> we thank you, because you are helping us get a better voice out there. i am appreciative of the call from the white house staff, and i am sure that things are going to start moving. this is san juan, the metropolitan area out there. there are thousands of puerto ricans are strugg...

May mayor de blasio. i heard a voice that said logistics are the problem. and thats it. i had a mayor coming to me last night crying saying i have no food, no water, no medicine for my people. can you spare me whatever is left over from san juan. i walked towards the fema employees that are now deputized in san juan, and i said if i give them a portion of what you gave me -- i want to let you know that yesterday we got three pallets of water and four pallets of food and 12 pallets of baby food a...

We have the resource. the problem is and i spoke yesterday to mim landrieu, who is the mayor of new orleans, who was in washington talking about some of the lessons learned from katrina. if you get 48 hours or p 2 hours hoond a storm, it is very hard to catch up. youre basically looking at kags kading problems one on top of the other. right now the problem did he juror that they dont have drivers because they cant get to work because theres no gas in their tanks because the gas stations have no ...

Their families. probably for personal benefits. >> reporter: this is what the store looked like when marcus showed up to assess the damage after the hurricane. the first thing he noticed was the vandalism to the front door and about 6 inches of flood water throughout the store. and then he noticed that most catchers had been toppled and that the atm machine had also been vandalized. not only was it looted, the manager said theyll have to dispose of all of the food. there is ham, meat back here, ...

Puerto rico can get back on its feet. i spoke to the governor a little bit ago. he assured me help is on the way. working to set up water stations across the country so folks can get water if they need and working getting fuel distributed and supply chain back up and run being as they clear off roads and slowly get folks back to some semblance of normal life. there are also still some remote parts of the island that they have not been able to establish contact with to see how theyre doing, how b...
