Senators in the state as well as the mayor of New Orleans And the governor, John Bell edwards. Hes out And about right now seeing the hardest Hit Spots throughout louisiana. They were hit by Hurricane Ida. One of the places he will be going to is aplace, louisiana. Some of these homes were submerged. People had to ride out the storm on the roof or attics, people hoping someone would come with a boat to rescue them. People there have lost everything in certain situations. Theyre having to wait in line for essentials like food And water, relying on the kindness of others. In the mornings, we had a Threemile Line waiting for us. Starting at 6 30 people are lining up. Were not open until 8 00, 8 30. The lines are long. Its hot. President biden will get a chance to see the damage that is very vast throughout the state from the sky. He will hop in a helicopter to get an Aerial Tour to places like grAnd isle. This is a City Or Town here in louisiana along the Gulf Coast that basically took a direct hit from Hurricane Ida. Were told from authorities there that there is not a single house that is stAnding right now that anybody can live in. That neighborhood just opened up today. Were told folks are coming back And assessing the damage. Its going to take some time for the people to get back on their feet. The only good news right now, The Sun is out. Power is starting to be restored. Here in the french quarter, people are walking around. We saw people holding drinks. Barses are getting back up And run. A signing that slowly but surely louisiana is getting back on its feet. Neil . Neil thanks, jeff for that. Senator Bill Cassidy joins us. How are things looking there . Hi, neil. Were in Laplace Waiting for the president to join us for a walk. Theres homes in which theres Power Lines the power is on top of the home. Damaging the home. But clearly indicating theres no power. So this is one of the places hardest hit. So on the other hAnd as your reporter say, some places held up. The levees held. Theres good Story Lines in here. Neil you know, few predicted the damage that this storm would inflict. Seems like levees in the new Orleans Area held up. A lot of the expense And federal response went to after katrina made this a much, much less tragic type of storm than it could have been at least in louisiana. Absolutely. Now, of course, if youre in areas like thiebaud, you were hammered. We are we put in systems And built resilience, it worked. Now we need to build resilience not just for levees And flooding but also for the power system. I spoke to the president when he lAnded. We spoke about the Infrastructure Bill. If we bury the Power Line, they dont blow down in storms. Power is intact, life goes on. Its cheaper to do it that way. Cost more not to do it that way. Neil senator, you took heat from former President Trump And others when you joined 18 republican colleagues to vote in a bipartisan manner for that Infrastructure Package. You have not signed on as yet to the 3. 5 trillion human Infrastructure Package. Storms like these And the Damage Weve seen, going up to the northeast, seem to confirm your view that we need to do this. Absolutely. To be clear, ive already voted against the 3. 5 trillion. But we have to move beyond politics. We Cant Care about who gets credit. We have to take care of the american people. When george w. Bush made a commitment to build levees, 16 years later, we benefit. We have to bury the lines now. Not only protects louisiana in a hurricane but protects texas in the Ice Storms And the far west from forest fires, from sparks coming off of a Power Line in the middle of a dry hot forest. That is the way to build resiliency. Lets move beyond politics And get something done for the american people. Martha you know, yesterday when the northeast was experiencing all of this And the tragic deaths that ensued, 50 at least, Chuck Schumer said this is the reason why we need to be on top And deal with Climate Change, this is the reality what do you make of that . First, the Infrastructure Bill actually funds projects that were passed under the last congress, the republicanled Senate Congress which President Trump signed into law. Things that would lower Carbon Intensity in our economy. Again, authorized last congress, signed in to law by trump. Funded with this bill. So theoretically, if you voted for that bill, youre for this big. We began to lower the Carbon Intensity And at the same time preserving a modern economy with the chemicals And Fossil Fuels that we need. So schumer And i may agree because hes supported the bill, so do i. Its a good bill for many reasons. Resiliency And for funding those projects that the republican senate passed last year. Neil senator, you made quick reference to the fact that youre not a fan of the 3. 5 trillion spending measure. It has a long way to go. Your colleague, Joe Manchin has talked about the price tag, that it has to go a lot lower than that. Is it your sense that this will be cut down to size And still pass or that its kind of limping along . I hope it fails. This is the economic equivalent of our withdrawal from afghanistan. We have got Inflation Year over year And about to add 3. 5 trillion . Not for hard infrastructure like our bill would take a few years to build but with a multidecade payoff. No. Lets infuse a lot of cash into And overheated economy now. Again, once more, an economic Afghanistan Withdrawal. I think im hoping the bill completely stops. Neil Senator Cassidy. We appreciate the time that you took to call. Senator cassidy of louisiana coming book. Speaking of louisiana, its affected everybody including if youre lucky restaurants And if you find them open. My next guest is the ceo of raising canes. A largely chicken restaurant. A ton of them in louisiana. 80, if not more closed because of the storm. I dont know where things stAnd now. But al, very good to have you. How do things look with your stores now . Hi, neil. Devastating to be honest. We have about 50 restaurants that got impacted by the storm like Senator Cassidy talked about, thiebaud, these areas are heavy hit. Five restaurants that we dont know how bad the impact is because we havent been able to access them. About a third of our crew, were not able to reach out to them. Power lines are down. Its devastating. Really bad stuff. Neil a. J. , what is youve been through this a number of times. You know the area you in. Youre prepared on the it. Residents were prepared for it. Not everybody evacuated when they could have or should have. Things do appear to be coming back And theres hope more aid coming in to the city And the state. What do you want to hear from the president . You know, honestly, talking ant preparation. Weve been through katrina, et cetera. So we were prepared. We were getting our supplies ready in dallas, houston. This area. So were building our own little mini cities in terms of gasoline, electricity, supply chain, all of that ourselves to try to get that going. I believe that is what the Community Needs. The Community Needs support. They need Power Lines up. 900,000 people still dont have power. Communication lineses are down. Supply chains. Were focused on opening one restaurant in every community. In fact, in bayou area, we were one of the first restaurants to open apart from waffle house. This morning we opened the homer restaurant. Lines are long. People want some semblance of normalcy, a hot meal. Its hot out there. I feel bad for them. Its devastating stuff. Neil a. J. , hang in there. Nice of you to join us. Very popular restaurants across the Louisiana Area And beyond. Better than 80 of them. Half of them are shut down now because of the storms. That number appears to be getting cut as we see what is happening. We have a lot more coming up, incluing the effect of this has had on the northeast. The number of deaths in the northeast, 50. This is the view in philadelphia. One of the things were also following up, new Jersey Governor Phil murphy said that 25 are dead in that state. Six are missing. This compares very much to sAndy in 2012. Very close indeed. After this. Ray loves vacations. But his diabetes never seemed to take one. Everything felt like a no. everything.

The president might be in louisiana, but the far bigger hit in terms of tragic hit is in the northeast. Five states where at least 50 people are dead And most of them drowning in their homes or their cars. Laura ingle has the late forecast New York. Laura . Hi, neil. Its been a long day of digging through the mud And the mess. As you can see here, this is work that is not going to end any time soon. It looks like this block after block where we are. For the people that own And operate storms here, many who saw at least five feet of water come rushing into their businesses, what can you say . Theyre devastated. Weve seen utility companies, Cleanup Crews And the Red Cross going up And down this block. Westchester county was one of the hardest hit in the state. Flood waters rose to 14 feet in some places. New York Gorka Think Hochul along with new York State senator Chuck Schumer came to assess the damage today. Governor hochul announcing she has secured an Emergency Disaster Declaration for 14 affected counties in New York with up to 5 Billion in immediate federal funding which some say cannot come soon enough. I just heard a Woman Talk to you And say directly to you, we need food. Yes. We need people to donate to the food banks, the Red Cross And all the other agencies. They need clothes. This isnt some other country. This is the united states of america. This is the state of New York. People need help. Do what you can. Bring money, food And resources. We want to give you a live look at the situation in philadelphia. On Vine Street express way, which is still flooded today two days after ida hammered the east coast. The Death Toll is still rising. Were getting close to the number 50 people that lost their lives. Theres still six people unaccounted for in the state of New Jersey at last check. You can see here, a lot of people that lost their businesses said that they were struggling before this happened And now they dont know if they can recover at all. Neil . Neil thanks for that, laura. We should also now tell you that whatever you make of this storms, it is providing catalysts to get that Infrastructure Package through. Im talking about the bipartisan one that has republican backing. You heard from senator Bill Cassidy. Lets go to Chad Pergram on capitol hill. Democrats are using the storm to justify their push for the Infrastructure Bill And the 3. 5 trillion billion. Its loaded with environmental provisions. This bill will end years of gridlock. Make us more resilient to the kinds of devastating impacts from extreme weather were seeing many so many parts of the country. Bipartisan members of the Louisiana Delegation asked for more money to help cover the hurricane damage. Troy carter was driving with the president to make the pitch for Hurricane Relief And Tie Hurricane Aid to the other bills. You get caught up in the semantics of calling it hard or soft infrastructure. Its people. Its Making Louisiana And americans lives better. Conservatives want to help with Disaster Aid but may not like other things hooked to the big bills like the debt ceiling. It puts members in a bind if they vote no, they will be criticized for opposed urgent funding for hurricanes. Democrat Joe Manchin wrote an oped in the wall street journal. He wants more information on the 3. 5 trillion billion before he supports it. That is manchins calling card. Suggesting he may oppose something And negotiating a concession And perhaps voting yes in The End. Neil . Chad, thank you. Lets go to Sarah Westwood on the dynamics that are changing. Now trying to get the first Infrastructure Package done. What do you think, sarah . If youre talking about which bill would address the kind of damage were seeing in louisiana And the northern states that were Hit Hard by ida, the bipartisan bill does that a lot more effectively. It has tens of billions for climaterelated provisions. Billions going to cities And states to update their infrastructure, specifically to be more resilient against these types of storms. The 3. 5 trillion Infrastructure Package is social programs. Things that have nothing to do with what were seeing. Yet you see the left using the Hurricane Ida damage to argue that Climate Change is urgent enough to passage of the bill. What is ironic, the same progressives that are putting pressure on lawmakers to pass this bill on the basis of Climate Change are also trying to pressure lawmakers withhold their vote on the bipartisan bill that would actually do something to solve the problems that were seeing on the tv right now if they dont get a bill that is really unrelated. So i think obviously this is just another pretext that is being used for the 3. 5 trillion bill And President Biden losing a lot of the political capitol right now because of afghanistan And other reasons that he might have used to sell the 3. 5 trillion bill. Manchin came out with his opposition, the chances for that getting passed at the levels set are getting lower And lower. Neil very little of that is Climate Change related anyway despite the big numbers. But that aside, im wondering as we wait to see the president tour louisiana, this is a big change from the story he has been having to deal with for the better part of a few weeks now And the collapse in afghanistan. How he hAndles this could go a long way to among nervous democrats to see if he stabilized things period. How important is this visit And his hAndling of these storms . I think its really important for President Biden to sort of project the kind of competency that put him in the White House. That is his calling card. That he was going to be the steady hAnd on the wheel, the adult in the room, what have you. Someone that was going to manage crises specifically the pAndemic, but all of them in general more competently than President Trump. What the Afghanistan Withdrawal did that could be lasting is pearce that perception. Now President Biden is not coming off as a very competent president. Someone that has a hAndle on things, this is sort of something that happened to President Bush when he mishAndled katrina so badly. Everything he did was viewed through the lens of failure. Thats the risk that biden has. Because of the Afghanistan Withdrawal, changing Peoples Perception of him as someone that can hAndle his big could bleed in to other issues. If hes not able to get the 3. 5 trillion bill over the Finish Line, if hes not able to oversee And effective response to Hurricane Ida, that could lower his Approval Ratings even further. They were starting to tank for reasons not all related to afghanistan, his hAndling of the pAndemic, the Honeymoon Period being over for him seven months in to his presidency. Certainly they could fall further if more things start to add to this perception that hes not really doing a good job of governing. Neil we will watch closely. Thanks, sarah. One of those issues that could be pivot away from whats going on in afghanistan is the latest jobs figure. Thats a pivot he might not welcome. Came in less than expected. A third of the number of new jobs expected in this economy developed. The president was quick to say that the Delta Variant was behind that And unvaccinated people.

Neil heres good news. The Economy Churning a lot of jobs. About 235,000 of them. Heres the bad news. Most everyone was thinking a number three times higher than that And didnt deliver. Hospitality And Leisure Hiring that was going on crawled to nothing in the latest period. Some are steering that this could be a signal of things to come. The president was blaming the Delta Variant And the unvaccinated people that stunted hiring in the country And all the rest. My next Guest Isnt Buying that entirely. Larry glazer from May Flower advisers. Theres a bump going on here. The president indicated its a temporary bump because of the variant, because of the people not being vaccinated And putting a chill on the recovery from the pAndemic. Youre not buying it. What a disappointment. This is not the jobs report that celebrates labor day. Why . The Delta Variant is an issue. More importantly its the extended jobless benefits. Thats crushing small business. That is creating the problem. This is Spilling Over, neil. We see if you look beneath the hood, you can see leisure And hospitality. The areas most directly impacting getting hurt the worst. Effectively no Job Creation when this economy is supposed to be off to the races. Its Spilling Over to consumer sentiment. And at no point was there a demAnd issue. Right . We talked to businesses And consumers. Try buying a car. Try buying a truck. People want this stuff. They want to go out. The problem for Vinnys Pizza is he cant get workers. Right . He cant afford the cost of pizza. He cant afford the cost. Its going up so fast. Thats whats crushing families. Thats whats gets lost in washington. More spending does not solve the problems. It doesnt bring Gas Prices down. Doesnt bring Food Prices down. Doesnt bring rent down And doesnt create more jobs like we saw today. Thats the message that washington needs to get from main street. Main street knows it. Washington knows what theyre doing And selling is not being bought on main street. Neil i will say with you, it doesnt jive with other company plans. The amazons, the walmarts, even fidelity planned to hire tens of thousAnds of people. We know that layoffs are at a 24year low. So the backdrop seems good. Lets say all of these benefits, which i think come to an end monday for most everybody, then that could be the change, right . Or do you buy that . Sure, i think you make a good point. Again, theres never been a demAnd issue. Fidelity hiring 9,000 people. High paying jobs. They cant find people. The low end, walmart trying to hire people. The number of job openings. Theyre doing their part, trying to create the economy. Its getting people in the Work Force And the costs are rising at a rapid clip. We dont know the wild card, how that will affect the economy. Middle class families are getting hurt right now. Well see as the benefits run up, assuming that washington doesnt have a massive Spending Bill that creates more inflation. At The End of the day, the problem for Working Families in america is that their costs are rising faster than wages. Wages are going up, but costs are going through the roof. Inflation is a real problem And a regressive tax. Taxes have gone up on Working Families in this country because their coarses are going up. Any one that goes to the grocery store, the Gas Station or pays rent knows what is happening. That is the real problem. Neil there is a disconnect between the two. Larry, im glad you said had his head in the sAnd And left it at that. Thanks very much.

Neil you keep hearing this concept of leverage that we have with the taliban And they better be on best behavior if they want to get frozen funds unfrozen And the rest. Even the u. S. Military seemed to be hinting that Theres Room for talking cooperation And the taliban desperately needs that right now because they need the funds. Jacqui heinrich at the White House on this back And forth And whether we should or will be talking to the taliban. Jacqui . Hi, neil. We just heard some new sound on that from the State Department And the pentagon this afternoon. Meantime at the White House, theres new polling posing a challenge for the president. The polls from the Washington Post And abc show the majority of americans believe the president bears some blame for the Isis Suicide Attack that killed 13 u. S. Service members And up to 170 afghan nationals. Democrats, members of the president s own party are among the people calling for investigations And despite hearing from antony blinken, we have not been told whether any more americans have made it out of the country. They didnt outright say none have made it out. They said were in touch with people but they havent given us an update that anyone has made it out. We also dont have numbers on how many Green Card holders And afghan refugees that want to get out of the country remain. Were hearing more And more reports of the taliban Killing Afghans that helped the united states going back on their promise of amnesty. Its causing fresh questions about whether the taliban can be trusted to keep their promise of safe passage. The White House says this is one of the reasons that the u. S. Not rushing to recognize the taliban. The pentagon says there might be the need for collaboration going forward. Nobody is trying to ink some sort of military Cooperation Agreement with the taliban. They wouldnt rule out there might be occasions when there might need to be. Some informational component there with the taliban going forward. Senate republicans want answers on why a majority of afghan sivs that helped the u. S. Were not evacuated. They want breakdown of who has made it in to the country. Jen psaki said 70 were atrisk afghans. AlejAndro mayorkas said some of the people that got out were denied entry to the u. S. Listen. If And when we retain derogatory information, we know how to address that. Those muscles are very well exercised. We have. We deny access to individuals whose derogatory information is not resolved And we do not feel confident in the And-security'>Safety And Security of american people. Meantime Kabuls Airport remains inoperable. The State Department And the White House are saying charter flights, theyre seeking to extract americans from afghan And bring them to u. S. Military bases. Theyre risky And cause a lot of problems. One big challenge is, they dont have anyway of confirming who is on that flight, who is organizing that And-point'>Flight And Point out that theres a real threat around american aviation targets And including military bases. Unclear how exactly theyre going to work with the Charter Companies to get people out by air. Waiting for answers on that, neil. Neil yeah a lot of answers were waiting for. Jacqui heinrich at the White House. Kirk lippold, the former u. S. S. Cole commAnder. I caught that stunning update from mayorkas about a couple of individuals, didnt specify, who wont be allowed to come in this country. I dont know where they go. They talk about derogatory issues that came up, that cant be good. What do you make of that . Neil, its absolutely stunning that were dealing with an administration that has an open southern border. We let people across without checking, without vetting, without doing anything. Yet the afghans that they allowed out of afghanistan that got on our flights, that should have been checked, this is just another symptom of how poorly the biden administration And specifically this president along with the senior Military Leadership of our nation put together such a haphazard And-evacuation'>Policy And Evacuation process that it was essentially a route, much less a surrender, much less a negotiated surrender And were now paying the consequences. What do you mean you have derogatory information . The reality is, we should have known who is on every one of those flights And they should have been americans, siv holders And their families And we forfeited that opportunity. Neil we do know as well a majority of those that wanted to get out still havent gotten out. We dont know if theyre on the up And up. We know enough that were going to use leverage the money that we have frozen against the taliban to get them out. Is that realistic to you . It isnt, neil. If you look at it, for 20 years now, the taliban has been able to sustain their existence. They get money through extortion And kidnapping, they get money from pakistan, russia, iran. They get the arms necessary to conduct this overrun of afghanistan itself before they actually got to kabul And we gave it up to them. The Drug Trade that most of them are involved in. If we wanted to hit the taliban, first thing we do, spray the poppy fields And take out the Drug Trade. In addition, look at the other nations who in fact have become State Sponsors of a u. S. Designated terrorist organization. The fact that you have Admiral Kirby to negotiation with them for information shows the level of unethical compromises that the senior Military Leadership is making in order to further the Intelligence Communitys objectives to try to make sure that we can go after isisk And others. This is a debacle that weve never seen. Its a strategic failure And absolutely right to demAnd that we have hearings And investigations into this that hopefully will not be politically tainted but instead look at the national security interests of our country And fellow americans. Neil thanks, commAnder. Were following separately what is going on with the storm in this country And particularly the fallout in the northeast And in New Jersey where its a mess.

The governors of New York And New Jersey are hoping for the same. They say things are bad as well. New jersey is a good case in point here. Normally tornadoes dont happen there but they have. Flooding of this proportion doesnt happen ever but it is. Bryan llenas in manville with more. Bryan . Neil, good afternoon. This is what is left of the saffron banquet haul. Its incredible here in manville, New Jersey. Flood waters came inundated from the mill stone river. At 2 00 a. M. , a huge explosion residents say. It appears maybe a natural Gas Leak mixed with a spark of Electrical Fire And while the smoke is still simmering here, this was a business owned by a man that opened it in 2018 dealing with covid And now this. Hes at a Total Loss of what to do next. Its the type of damage that weve seen in manville, here in New Jersey. Three other homes caught on fire here as well. There were many rescues. In fact, the first responders here in manville went out to about 500 homes And rescued 1,000 people. The Police Chief says here that frankly they listen to what the Police Chief said about the record shattering 28 foot rising river here that caused flooding that reached eight feet. Ive been here 30 years, this is my eighth or tenth flood. This is the most catastrophic by far. Its not just here. The Delaware River here in new And-pennsylvania'>Jersey And Pennsylvania as the passic is something that theyre looking at. The passiac is not going to crest tomorrow morning. 25 people are dead And six people are missing after the Flood Waters inundated communities along the rivers. Were talking about a situation here where the majority of the victims that died were submerged in their vehicles, swept away because of the waters. It all happened so fans here. In kentucky we know a veteran state trooper, a police sergeant, Brian Mole died when his car was swept away at 3 00 a. M. Wednesday morning. He was out there trying to help people in this storm And tragically lost his life. Its shocking the level of damage as well as the loss of life that we have seen from what is the remnants of what was a category four hurricane up here in the northeast. Neil . Bryan llenas, thanks very much. Tragedies like this that people dont always turn to the government for help, they sometimes go higher, much higher like god. I want you to meet the reverent that is proving the point And filling his church after this. As i observe investors balance risk And reward, i see one element securing portfolios, time after time. Gold. Your strategic advantage. Tempurpedics mission is to give you truly transformative sleep. So, no more tossing And turning. Because only tempurpedic uses a proprietary material. That adapts And responds to your body. So you get deep, uninterrupted sleep. And now save up to 700 on adjustable mattress sets. Neil all right. The president is speaking in laplace. Lets listen in. The fact is, theres a lot to see just exactly what happened on the ground, see whats going on in peoples homes. A lot of people fear, for example, because they dont have Cell Connection or unaware we have someone coming through here doortodoor, letting people know what is available right now. Because they cant connect online. With the governor, mayors, community leaders, the folks here, were delivering millions of meals And liters of water. I know youre frustrated how long it takes to restore power. Its dangerous work. 25,000 linemen from around the country have come here to louisiana to help. Crews are from 32 different states that are helping. Two of them loss their lives in the process of trying to get power back up. Were working 24 7 with the Energy Companies that we met with today And deploying more federal resources including hundreds of generators And more to come to restore power as fast as we can, faster than anything that happened during katrina. Were working with the Cell Phone Company to call your Loved Ones to make sure the people you know And love you havent talked to lately can know whether theyre okay. Were moving quickly to keep gas flowing to the pumps, including ive gone to the strategic petroleum reserve. That was set aside, the crude oil, providing flexibility And providing for many hours, trackers are able to drive And transport And-fuel'>Gas And Fuel because theres a law in america, you Cant Drive beyond so many hours a day. But we need more movement of this fuel. Were expAnding the supply of gasoline that can be sold in the state of louisiana. Theres much to be done. Were working around the clock with the governor And the elected officials here until we can meet every need that you have. In fact, reports suggest that some Insurance Companies may deny coverage for living assistance unless the homeowner was under a mAndatory evacuation order. So you paid your insurance premiums, youre supposed to get payment. So the Insurance Companies are saying, no, no, we wont pay what we owe. Were putting as much pressure that we can. We know the parishes issued strong Evacuation Orderst first And many didnt have the time to make the order mAndatory as a storm moved so fast. You know, even with voluntary evacuations ordered, folks felt safest leaving their homes. Nobody fled this Killer Storm because they were looking for a Vacation Or Road trip. So folks, they left their home because they left it they had to flee the risk of death. Nothing voluntary about that. Im calling on private Insurance Companies, dont hide behind the Fine Print And technicality. Pay what you owe your customers. Cover temporary Housing Costs And natural disasters And help those in need. Thats what we should be doing now. Thats what we are doing. So far we have provided with the governors help, 100 Million in Chris Call Assistance directly to people in louisiana by putting 500 in their Bank Accounts once they have contacted us. Thats what were going to come back And let you people know exactly how to do that. That will happen. Secondly, at the governors request, fema is helping with transitional sheltering. Meaning a place for it to be safely able to sleep at night And be secure like covering your Hotel Bill you racked up because you couldnt stay at home because of the hurricane or because your home is not livable now. Were making sure this kind of relief is equitable for those hardest hit, the resources that they need we have to get to them. So no matter who we are, if youre in an affected area, please get in touch with fema. Folks, Hurricane Ida is another reminder that we need to be prepared for the next hurricane And Super Storms that will come And theyre going to come more frequently And more ferociously. Ive been working with the governor And our colleagues And congress on my build back better plan that will modernize our roads And bridges And sewers And Drainage Systems And Power Grids And Transmission Lines to make sure theyre more resilient. I walked through the back yards here. So many Telephone Lines are down. So many Telephone Poles are down. So many of the way in which we transmit energy is lost because of old wooden Telephone Poles. If theyre underground, theyre secure. Costs more money. We cant put back the same old poles up. We have to build back better And make sure we do the same thing across the board. Think about how that 760 Million West Shore Project in Southern Louisiana will bills levees And drainage structures to provide protect for folks in the area. It will change their lives in future storms. I told the governor And he has my full support And i meant it, my full support to get this project done. Folks, i know youre hurting. I know youre hurting. I know the folks in Lake Charles who i visited earlier this year are still hurting from hurricane laura. I want you to know were going to be here for you. With regard to Lake Charles, i put in a request in the budget to provide for help for recovery for Lake Charles as a consequence of laura And delta, two storms that they still havent been gotten the needs that they met that they have. This isnt about being a democrat or a republican. Were americans. Well get through this together. Have to remember we not only have to build back, but build back better than it was before. Better than it was before. So when another Super Storm comes, its not the damage done. So thank you all very much. Im going to see the rest of the folks in the neighborhood here. Every time i walked out of my grAnd pops house in scranton, pennsylvania, he would yell, yes why, keep the faith. My grAndmother would yell no, joey, spread it. Lets spread the faith. Lets get this done together. Thank you. Thank you. Neil the president using this hurricane And the fallout to justify that 3. 5 trillion human Infrastructure Package that he says would go And focus on a lot of these issues. The reality is, the Climate Change And other issues are a small part of that package. In fact, almost infinite. Thats whats concerning, forget republicans, some democrats as they have they dont have their priorities right. To say the second measure would address what happened here in louisiana And some of the Damage Weve seen elsewhere is simply incorrect. The president is addressing this now, promises more federal aid behind what is already available And is looking at the northeast as well. Its a mess. Heres the five. Hello. Im Shannon Bream with dagen mcdowell, jessica tarlov, joey jones. Its 5 00 in New York city. This is the five. President biden insisting the way he got out of afghanistan was an extraordinary success. The american people disagree. His Numbers Nose Diving after the chaotic exit. A new national poll out saying
