well, despite, you know, what the president is saying, the former fema administrator craig fugate told my producer today fema is still working in louisiana for katrina recovery. that s 12 years later. and said fema is going to be working for recovery years to come if puerto rico, the u.s. virgin islands, in florida, in texas, and a tweet doesn t change that. so, i want you to give us an update on what is happening. do you feel, do you feel that you have the help that you need? no, but it has gotten better since last week. i have to say that ever since last week, when a new chain of communication was given to us by homeland security, accountability has improved and things are starting to improve. i can now see the light imagine the light at the end of the tunnel. i can t see it yet, but i can imagine it. mayor, thank you for your time. we appreciate it.
who don t believe donald trump has been or will be a good president, i think we get a little bit hopeful. think about what would have to happen. it is an extraordinary thing to do. they would have to feel they had bold, bold evidence that this was a disaster. they would have to worry about what was going to happen with the gop afterwards because the divisiveness, the fights about what had just been done and also when we talk about the 25th amendment, we are putting our faith in a cabinet that is not exactly an all-star cabinet. there are some very honorable people in this cabinet, there are some very competent people in the cabinet. when you go down the list, it is not a cabinet that says to me, these are the heroes who will save the world. i ask because in the past couple days i haven t heard as much about the 25th amendment probably in my lifetime than i ve heard in the last few days. tom barrack, who is a 30 year friend of the president gave a more subdied interview to gloria borg
almost like a troubled employee, treating him with kid gloves. they re saying he s not isolated, he just manages by chaos. what are people telling you? i think that s a way a lot of people took his original comments which is why he had to come out and set the record straight and say that he wasn t saying the president is being controlled. but that s what that s how we talk about this president. that s how we talk about john kelly. john kelly got a lot of praise when he first came into the west wing because people thought he was going to instill this sense of order and this sense of discipline. i think even john kelly is learning that you cannot control the president. that s pretty evident he said it. that s evident with all the stuff going on with tillerson. he did not want to be judged with how he controls the president. that s a good statement for him soet selt for himself. you cannot control this president. you can manage who he sees in the oval office. you can t control w
and the people that are here working on the ground and, frankly, the big mouth of the president of the united states. it continues to add insult to injury. his tweets let me ask you about his tweets, mayor. out of a book of how to win people. out of his tweets, the trump administration asked for $4.9 billion to fund a loan program that puerto rico can use to address basic functions like infrastructure needs. that matters a lot more than the angry tweets, right? you want to see things get done. yes. we want to see things get done. so, rather than tweeting, get to work. yeah. rather than saying disparaging things, let s get constructive. so, you know, if the president wants to take aim at me, i m here. bring it on. it doesn t matter to me because this isn t about me. let me ask you about the house speaker paul ryan who asked today, puerto rico begins to stand on its own 2 feet inside of the existing fiscal problems before the hurricane.
yeah. he said he s not quitting, you know. he was, i guess, they told him to go out and do that. but he says he s not quitting. he talked about the angry faces or at least the sort of, what should we call them, stone face or frightened faces of john kelly. oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. looking like he wasn t so happy during the charlottesville speech, the u.n. speech, the general assembly speech where he threatened about north korea. the cameras always catch me when i m thinking hard and it looks like i m frustrated and mad. but that s the president s job, don t you think? at least of chief of staff s job is to calm the president and to make sure he is on message. that s right. listen, those faces are about something we all know, he has a terrible job, a really difficult job. and he even said this is the hardest job i ve ever had. what you saw at the news
