people in louisiana were still without power this morning. you are in "the faulkner focus". i'm julie banderas. i'm in for harris today. the storm made landfall as a category 4 hurricane but remnants would become the most deadly storm to strike the northeast since superstorm sandy in 2012. in a speech yesterday president biden made a commitment to the victims of ida. >> president biden: my message to the people in the gulf coast, we are here for you and we are making sure the response and recovery is equitable so those hit hardest get the resources they need and are not left behind. >> julie: but mark meadows former white house chief of staff under president trump. would be comforting words had he not just said the exact same thing last week and then turned his back leaving hundreds of americans behind in afghanistan. then and now biden's words are empty. at least 46 people were killed
