live there it is putting much flattened it s a devastating tornado, as a reporter just mentioned this was a mile wide and it looks like a carpet bomb has gone to from the b-52. it is devastating. people will build back for some of the toughest things that people deal with are not just the physical structures but they also lose their driver s license, their tax return information that they re getting ready to file loser person tickets they basically have to rebuild their lives because there will be documents of people that will be discovered 50 miles from where the tornado hit their home. it s one of the devastating things that happen in the aftermath of a tornado. will: governor you explain this to some extent and natural disasters will be by the state of arkansas, your daughter leads the state of arkansas, what can and should government do in the wake of the state tragedies?
presidential audit. complicated stuff here. you had said over the weekend it took three of you reporters here, pulitzer prize winning reporters to do this, how surprising is that to you? and do you think the agency is, a, going to learn anything about this? or maybe even congress will look into this? well, i hope they learn something. i mean it s been incredibly embarrassing. i mean when you look at that presidential audit, at minimum, you would think that it would have been done, and it would have assigned a bunch of people to it. it was a breakdown in what happened and in reading the report that came out, that the ways and means committee released, it almost felt like they just wanted to look the other way. there was examples, we ran the story in 2020 and we had his tax return information and we flagged a number of things that looked very suspicious to us, and we couldn t take any more without a subpoena and bank records and a 100 of of other and a bunch of other things,
