with the details. reporter: president biden s job approval is taking another hit in a new poll from abc news. nearly 70% of americans don t approve of how biden is handling inflation, 63% disapprove of how he is handling immigration and 57% of americans don t approve of the economic recovery. yesterday, wyoming senator john barrasso discussed the inflation crisis. we look at the inflation numbers and our economy is on its back. people s paychecks are not keeping up, people are hurting and it s the biden policies that made it worse. carley: as americans are critical of the biden administration, vice president kamala harris dismissing reports about dysfunction in her office calling headlines about her, quote, ridiculous and dismissing reports of staff bullying. harris telling the san francisco chronicle in part that there s nothing about her job that is supposed to be easy. if something is coming to her it s because it needs to be addressed and because by definition it s not going to
carley: frank siller is here with us. it s an honor to have you with us this morning. tell us about this community that is under construction right now. it seems like such an incredible idea. first, i want to say our prayers go out to all the families that were hit with these devastating tornadoes. tunnel for towers foundation, we will do something for that area. but yeah, we broke ground on the first let us do good village, st. francis said, brothers and sisters, while we are here, while we have time, let us do good. it s the perfect name for the village. we will build over 100 homes for our service members. gold star families and fallen first responder families that died in the line of duty that leave young kids behind it will be a magnificent place to bring your kids up. these kids will be around other children that faced the same tragedy in their lives. ashley: building the community for the families is amazing. let s talk about the village. what will happen?
help people, searching for rubble. they don t wait for the government. they do it themselves. ashley: to put it in perspective, these are very small towns. i m from hawkins county, which is 16 miles from where this happened. and my family experienced this firsthand. but mayfield is a town of 10,000 people. you dawsons springs which was also hit hard is a town of 2600 people and two thirds of that town which mostly got hit is residential and it is completely gone. it s flattened. so the biggest question, and i know we asked comer this, where are these people going to go, that s the biggest question and they obviously asked for federal aid and for help and places for them to stay but i will say this. being from this area and family here, when he says that your neighbor will help you, i mean, they ll help you before they ll help themselves. carley: he said there is temporary housing for people that lost their homes. also others are staying with
it s hard to describe. we were so grateful for our first responders. i think we re seeing the best of america. reporter: that is absolutely right. president biden said that he does plan to visit kentucky but with all of the resources that a presidential visit can take up, he says he wants to wait until he is not in the way. ashley: alexandria, thank you. carley: earlier we spoke with james comer whose district was hard-hit. listen. there s a lot of tragedy. there s a lot of infrastructure that has been destroyed and it s going to take many, many days, weeks and months to get it all prepared. we don t have power in the majority of these communities that were hit. when you have a tragedy like this, you see what s so great about rural america. people were out, all through the night, through the next day and now the second day. we ve changed we re trying to
their neighbors. but there is still no power. he said even some of the rural areas that weren t hit because of the way the power grid works, it hits one area, a larger area is affected, sewer systems are down, so there s so much infrastructure that has been affected and it s going to take i can t even imagine how long to pick up the pieces. i mean, if you look at this footage, it s unbelievable. and i was reading about a woman from mayfield who lost her home and then she was sifting through the rubble of her house, searching for her pets. she had a dog and three cats. she said they were like her children because she wasn t able to have her own kids and she found three of the four pets and she said i thank god, saying god is so good. what an attitude when you lost everything but you have that glimmer of hope finding their animals. ashley: that s how people are in that area. people don t even think about
