Devastated by Hurricane Helene as the former president is trashing the current president for something, trump himself. Actually did also tonight, move over Reggie Jackson because mr. October is here. Barack obama set to hit the trail for Kamala Harris, kicking off his Campaign Blitz in the Mustwin State Pennsylvania and oklahoma is looking to buy a bible for every classroom, but not just any bible, one with very specific requirements actually, that only seem to describe the one trump is selling im Kaitlan Collins and this is the source stormravaged Georgia Today and almost immediately began lying about the federal Governments Response to Hurricane Helene, the deadliest storm to hit the united states, mainland since Hurricane Katrina as the southeast is still reeling from the deaths of 218 people at least. And a measurable destruction. The former president falsely claimed there isnt enough money for Hurricane Relief its been a terrible response from the White House. Theyre missing 1 that was used for another purpose in reality, congress just gave fema and other 20 Billion last week for its Disaster Relief fund. The department of Homeland Security says it will need more to make it through the rest of Hurricane Season but also noted that there is enough for the immediate Rescue And Recovery needs from this storm yet trump is claiming that there isnt because according to him, that money is already being used to deal with the flow of migrants at the southern border were missing 1 Billion. They gave them to the migrants that came in. And now we dont have the money will do it but what they dont have the money to take care of this, why they given you lousy treatment in North Carolina Kamalas spent all her Fema Money billions of dollars on housing for illegal migrants. They saw the Fema Money just like they stole it from a Bank Theyve even over 1 Billion to illegal migrants had came in and now they have no money that is not true fema says no Disaster Funds were used to shelter migrants. They are two separate programs actually both approved and funded by congress but you dont which president did do that . The 45th back into those 19 when trump was still in office, his administration pulled 155 Million from Disaster Relief funds to pay for Migrant Holding Facilities that means that when trump was president , he did exactly what he is accusing biden of doing. Taking cash from Disaster Funds to pay for Migrant Programs at the southern border and all of this is coming after trump accused the administration of also going out of its way to not help republican areas a notion that was debunked by republican governors rapid response in the cooperation from the federal viva. Theres 100 federal money flowing in. Were getting getting assistance and were asking for everything we need today was trumps second visit to georgia since Hurricane Helene hit, but it was his first meeting in more than four years with that states republican governor, brian Kemp Trump shared an awkward handshake with kemp, whom of course he relentlessly attacked for years for not supporting his election lies also going after his wife just a few months ago, and ultimately attempting but failing to ruin his political career today, if you were watching the two of them, it seemed as if almost none of that happened fantastic job. The governor again is doing a fantastic job. Its great no, no, no, its great. Now, we worked together. Weve always worked together weve always worked together. Im not sure. Can put agree with that, but no comment from the Georgia Governor on that. My political sources here tonight include the democratic former mayor of new York City built a blasio republican strategist, tw, a rogi, and cnn chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter and mr. Mayor, you were actually in office when democrats were criticizing trump for diverting funds from Disaster Relief to other immigrationrelated programs . Yeah. And i was at the southern border in tornillo, texas seeing just how troubled that whole effort was with migrant families and the children who were separated from their families i mean, that was a disaster unto itself. So the reality is, its more than ironic that trump is offering this criticism. But the fact is its bringing back a memory of how poorly trump handled the southern border. And in fact, across the board, this was really important. This was bipartisan folks. As a matter of conscience and clear lot of folks in the faith communities of this country felt that the treatment of those children and those families was downright unamerican. So he diverted the funds and then did it badly and there was actually a national outcry. Well, and its just something though that is being repeated time and time again. I mean, a lot of people are listening to trump in the state of georgia when he goes there in other states where hes saying theyre not helping it all in North Carolina, ensure people are frustrated at times when theyre dealing with a response in a moment like this, when theyre house has been completely wiped off, their town potentially tw, but to see other republicans promoting this and amplifying this when really its just the appropriation lets processed at The End of the day is quite something. Well, but, i think theres two different things here. Number one, a sitting governor is always going to want to keep the money flowing into their state when their people are in need right now, we have 200 plus people dead, countless more missing. We have no idea. There were communities that can only be reached by helicopter and we have legions of individuals doing it themselves instead of the united states military. And a lot of people are looking and saying, were throwing all of this money to all of these new waves of migrants coming in to a lot of different projects throughout this country to ukraine and whatever we can debate each of those individually, thats fine. But right now, the only Policy Proposal on the table from the Harris Harris Agenda is 750. A family of people think thats paltry thoughts and a large number i just say federal budget of thousands of dollars i get. So why did you lie just now know what im saying is this im putting the point in this when people are talking i just want to be in the billions of dollars you screwed up. She made the point that it was 150 a family. It might end up on the first day. Brian, im not saying money will not reach it. Im saying with the political reality is people in North Carolina are upset, may see tons of money going elsewhere in there isnt an immediate reaction for the federal government batch. All im saying, theres not an immediate reaction. Its not the messenger a week whats going on . It happened five days ago. We should have helicopters in the sky of the united states. Theyve, theyve been there several days. Brian brian, that is completely not the story that people are hearing. Youre right. What people are seeing on Social Media is false. Youre absolutely right that the lies on Social Media is distorting peoples minds. We have, we have countless people missing okay. Theres billions of dollars going to every which way to other two. Like i said, migrants. And this is fine. We can have the debate about all those Scientists Country on earth. What i am saying is when a disaster like this happens to respond to these to be immediate and overwhelming and youre saying it has to do your allegedly has been no, im not working, but can we can tell you that No One cares about this situation . Everyone care, but Hang On For A Second Immediacy on for a second because the 750 i actually looked into this because its being pushed. Thats what they get immediately. That is something for someone, a family that has absolutely nothing. That is what theyre able to get. People are seizing on what harris said. Thats not actually a reality that, thats all theyre going to get. What the point of this overall is that the federal government is there. I mean, you just heard from every republican governor, brian kemp, also said it as well. We did, we played his comments the other day that they are getting overwhelming help from the federal government here. So thats actually the issue is that its not is if theyre not there, i think the first people to call out the federal government if they dont show up, would be the media as well . Yes. Seen what happened with Hurricane Katrina. He and the republican local officials who were actually saying dont believe the lies on the internet. I think what frustrates me kaitlan is were seeing the best of humanity in the carolinas and georgia, were seeing the worst of humanity on the internet the list of some of the lies, right . Marjorie taylor greene, claiming democrats can control the weather and try to hurt republicans by sending storms their way influencers saying fema spent all the Hurricane Relief money on immigrants. Its ally, others are claiming fema is stealing supplies that corporations are kicking people out of their homes and confiscating property. Corporations are doing this. The Death Toll is being covered up helicopters are being banned from landing and relief. So all of these are lies that are spreading on Social Media. And its very hard to negate these lies with the truth because the truth is boring and complicated and complex. Fema has to put up a Rumor Page to address the rumors. That theres some random. Gov North Carolina rumor respond its not something you think youd see the North Carolina governor saying this actually is demoralizing to members of the National Guard who had been on the ground in his state for days yeah. Look, i mean, were talking about heroic efforts under the worst possible conditions. And there is something troubling about the fact that there isnt even a breath taken to recognize the Human Sacrifice of the folks who were there from fema, from National Guard, local law enforcement, and just neighbors helping neighbors. Lets focus on that. But lets also focus on where this comes from. This issue its about Climate Change and fascinating to say its sad to say Climate Change is really not a topic in this election and that two gigantic trends in this country, in this world, Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence that basically are being entirely missed in this Election Debate in this country. And i understand some of why. But we just saw the most vivid example of this. This is 1,000 Year Storm that hit the carolinas thousandYear Storm. And theyre saying this is not the last were going to see of this kind of thing. I want to go to once i get, i want to go because we have georgias former Lieutenant Governor Geoff duncan also joining us and jeff, i just wonder when you when you look at this conversation that were having now first, just tell me what your response is. Seeing trump come to your Home State and say something . That Governor Kemp himself says is not true well, i think first of all, its a sobering reminder of where the republican partys at right now and how deepen the gutter we truly are to think were going to use this platform to politicize what the mayor just said is one of the worst storms to hit this region ever, at least in any of our lifetimes but look, Donald Trump is down in Georgia Today only because he cares about trying to win georgia because hes realized if he loses georgia, hes probably going to end up going the jail. And thats why hes stuck in up to brian kemp. Thats why hes playing the game. Hes playing its very interesting looking at this picture here, who was in charge of the agenda today, and that was brian kemp brian kemp, stay laserfocused during that Press Conference on the hurricane and the Relief Efforts and didnt disparage anybody or in the federal Government Or State government Donald Trump, at least during his prepared remarks, stayed on message. But then it was interesting to see when Donald Trump wanted to take questions and leave and take political liam, brian kemp shook his handling left the stage. I think that Spoke Volumes of where brian kemps at. Yeah, i noticed that as well. He shook his hand, you know, kind of pat him on the shoulder and left. But just to see these images, i mean, ive interviewed Governor Kemp a lot and just two a few months ago when trump was saying that he was this average governor, that he wouldnt get office asked to help people in georgia. That was a quote from him. He went after his wife. He was just so angry because kemp didnt vote for him in the republican primary, even though he is voting for him here, i just wonder what you made of the total one at on trumps behalf. At The End of that Press Conference today. Well look, you know, Governor Kemp has earned the right to support in both anybody who wants to has been a tremendous governor and the state ive chosen to take a different path forward and try to heal and rebuild the party i drew a number of lines in the sand. Our entire family did Coming Home from dinner tonight, my wife and i we talked about those lines in the sand, right. The Death Threats that came in, that was a stark line for me that i would never support somebody that was directly responsible for threats to my wife and my kids lines around fiscal irresponsibility lines around covid response, and certainly around the 2020 election, which was just unbelievably horrific, unamerican unpatriotic. There isnt enough terms to go through. How bad Donald Trump is to this country into this party and when we look at this tw and bryan, i mean, just this this nature of the response here. Its not just what he was saying today about the Hurricane Relief and its not just him saying that the federal government is ignoring states where republicans live. I mean, the Jobs Report comes out today and allies of trumps that or marco rubio. You have spent a lot of time on the Hill Tw are saying its a fake Jobs Report. I mean, Thats Something that trump always used to say that its a fake Jobs Report. If its not good, if its good, then its real well the jobs. He said that one. Yeah. I thats untrue. I I Cant say its fake. Its real there were red flags in that Jobs Report. I will say that both Manufacturing And Transportation and warehousing were the only two sectors by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics that down that is not good in todays climate, the ones that led the charge were threefold. That was services. Were going back to school this Hotels And Leisure snowbirds are leaving and it was three, it was the government, which is concerning to me because theres a story by axios two days ago that said half of the over half of the county what hes an america now have a majority of citizens who get at least 25 of their income from the federal government. The government is growing in a bad way. The military is in a tough shape. It should be growing. Theyre not elsewhere. So the Jobs Report, while it was great on the surface, definitely had some red flags to make this report. What he criticizing im one of the new jobs because im a new hires, i guess. I mean, the Jobs Report is so frustrating to think that were in this environment where Donald Trump tells you not to believe your eyes or your ears. And i think the reason why im so worried about this week, kaitlan, whether its allies about helene or the lies about the job report, is that this this foreshadows the election whats going to happen to our country in november . It foreshadows the lies that are gonna be told what regardless of what happens in the election, most of the lies about helene and also about the Jobs Report are for brazen political purposes, right . Its about saying biden under certain competent, dont trust them. They hate america. Thats the message and republicans, its so extreme though and dont show all remember the debate from a few days ago, wasnt nice to have a civil, respectful debate even with Jd Vance and Tim Walz who are who are both very strongly partisan. It was so refreshing to have in this country. Yes, there were some lies and distortions, but nothing like what weve seen from trump this Week And Nothing like what we see on Social Media about heli and the problem with the hurricane is that the people who were being lied to who today by helene, theyre actually going to suffer as a result, there are Rescue Workers according have been imposed being sent out to homes because of memes and then finding Theres Nobody there because the meme was a lie. So theres actual real Word Realworld Harm thats caused in these cases. Thats a really good point. I mean, mr. Do you also see this as kind of laying the groundwork for i mean, a very difficult environment because people do believe what trump says. He has fans and voters who support him. They believe these kinds of things as this election has tightened up, since Kamala Harris became the democratic candidate, trump has increasingly telegraphing that people should be ready for a conflict to after the election. And thats because hes starting to lose and its not subtle i think its very obvious trump. Hes not going to learn new things. This is, this is his mo it is dangerous to the country and its corrosive to plant the seeds for the notion that we should have a fight after an election thats fair and Square One by a certain candidate but you can hear it in the, i mean, when he is now talking about shes mentally impaired, which is disgusting and inappropriate. That is him continuing to lay the groundwork for the most militant and potentially violent actions after the election i dont think people going to stand for it. Thats the good news. Yeah. Will say had a nice civil debate here at least tonight. Well actually talk about bidens comments about worries about a free and fair election, or at least it being taken well by trump if he loses its a ahead. Also, former President Obama is going to be on the Campaign Trail next week has long history with harris in the key coalitions that hes going to be targeting. Plus tonight this story were going to bring to you, oklahoma schools are looking to buy 55,000 bibles, but they have a very certain requirement and only the trump endorsed 60. 01 seems to the fits the bill ever done this For A Living James was famous for winning races. Change believes that Change Width if the economy stupid right . Apologizes to know what that man is the two fisted catcher, i am saying publicly what people are saying i have enough money. I could just shut up Car Winning is everything stupid tomorrow at seven on cnn . Brands with a hotel for any travele
