You can see the supplies lined up as they get ready for that in evans, georgia. Well take you live when that gets underway. Towards The End of the hour this afternoon. But first moments ago a surprise in the white House Briefing Room when President Biden moncton. This is extremely rare for him to attend an open News Briefing Environment at the White House. He showed up and took questions for a little under 10 minutes. He cannot with a Victory Lap on the Jobs Numbers can clearly 1 of the driving forces behind him wanting to get out there and talk today. He barely touched. I thought when i first saw him walk out this be about Hurricane Helene but. He wanted to address the devastation but there is emotional questions from the press on it and when he did get an opportunity it was just barely touched on Soil Talk about that. He was also asked how israel should respond to irans attacks , antisaid quote thats between me and them. And at his was walking away theres a quick Q A Letter Moment with foxs mark meredith. Watch. You consider dropping out of the race. As a satellite a moment of The End. Earlier today axios publishing this piece, the Disappearing Bidens. A Quiet End to a presidency. The Report Biden has scheduled public events and 43 of the 75 days since he dropped the reelection bid. A reflection of the 81yearolds President s Unpopularity And Age limitations rights axios so another reason why we probably sought. You saw the headline this morning and decided to get out there in front of the cameras just a few hours after that so bring in Clay Traffic okay founder Jim Garrity national review senior political Correspondent And Leslie marshall democratic Strategist And Fox news contribute or. Great to have All Of You with us this afternoon. Jim let me go to first. Your reaction to seeing the president out there just moments ago. He wrote this morning about the fact that he has just had very scant and terse comments for the press lately. Thanks or having neon. I was thrilled to see the proof of life from the White House today. He held up a current newspaper indicating this is not tape delayed. It really felt like Joe Biden has been on sabbatical the past couple of weeks. This is not exactly a slow news week. A Hurricane Dockworker Strike which thankfully is suspended for 90 days and Israel And Iran and the president occasionally taking a question on the way to marine 1 but nothing close to this. This is only 10 minutes and if the idea was reassured people you must 82yearold president , he 82 right after the Election Neck of the idea is a dont worry america hes on top of this and a sharp as ever maybe not quite mission accomplished but i prefer seeing the president to not seen the president. As i mentioned it caught us off guard. Is working on the show and my office and looked up and theres the president. On a Semi Got First Assumption was he was coming out to try to address this Hurricane Situation headon. Because its what people in the region are asking for in Western North Carolina and georgia that have been devastated but obviously he wanted to take a Victory Lap on these very good Jobs Numbers that came out this morning. What is your reaction . I was stunned this wasnt about the hurricane because not only has his administration alongside Kamala Harris complete the bungled the response to the hurricane. Its now i believe the deadliest hurricane since katrina. So generational Level Death Toll that unfortunately is continuing to grow. But Last Night he have what i thought was 1 of the most devastating clips of his entire presidency, when he didnt seem to recognize what storm he was being asked about, even though he had just toward the region. And he described the people in Western North Carolina eastern tennessee all over georgia virginia, South Carolina as quote very happy with whats going on there. I just finished my radio show. Weve been taking calls all week. The people are not very happy there. Theyre furious. This is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris katrina. And the fact he didnt address it and that he was barely asked about it by the white House Press Corps i think is not only a failure of biden come along but a failure of the media to let people know its going on. Reporter jackie was there. Shouldnt get the chance to ask question. I would assume that was at the top of her list list. Lets play the Sound Bite on what the president was asked Last Night about the storm first and lets but that against what he said today about what they are doing to help folks there and then go to leslies. What do they need after what you saw today . The Storm Zone . Which storm are you talking about . Theyre getting everything they need. We are very happy. Going to cost a lot of money and ill probably have to ask congress before we leave for more money to deal with some of those problems. But that remains to be seen. Martha whats going on here . I think its clear whats going on here. The president and gets attacked constantly in this Administration And Fema for not sending enough. And that we have both Republican And Democrat mayors and governors saying not true. And you talk with the people being happy, i have so much to say. Jumping out of my skin and off my seat. I dont know everybody has been the past 72 hours. In the past 32 hours have seen president in addition to today and i guess the Guy For Axios is not been paying attention. Hes been in florida, North Carolina and georgia and South Carolina and not just from the air, on the ground talking to people and politicians answering questions. I think what he means by the people are happy, the people are happy with the response is what i think he meant because hes been attacked and as awesome as rabbis prior to rosh hashanah, the jewish new year for fear of antisemitism. He also has met with National Security regarding iran and their threats to israel. We saw the president there today and i seen the president at podiums on most every day regarding the hurricane and speaking about it is options to for a came on today. So i dont know if im living under a different rock than everyone else but hes been out there. I think hes been out there more this week than i seen him in a while. 2 different takes on how this is going, and we have heard some local officials in some places saying they feel like theyre getting response but when you listen to the people, many of them just feel forgotten especially in Western North Carolina where by all accounts the Death Tolls are vastly underreported at this point. So thank you all very much for being here. Jim Garrity Clay travis and Leslie Marshall good to see you all. So we are waiting to hear from former President Trump. Hes In Georgia. Is going to get an update on the Recovery Efforts in areas that have been Hit Hard by Hurricane Helene. While residents and storm ravaged Western North Carolina. This is so heartbreaking when you see what has happened here, and just im reminded of the couple that we talked to, that we saw last week who talked about hanging onto a boulder to save their lives. And that many of their neighbours had been washed away.

The first time theyve been together on the Campaign Trail right think several years. But now the hurricane has brought them together in the effort to help the people of georgia in their Recovery Efforts. Meanwhile dhs to primitive Homeland Security has fired back at criticism of the more than 600 Million approved for a Fema Program for illegal migrants at the same time the agency says it does not have enough money to get through the hurricane season. Dhs saying the program is a completely separate appropriated Grant Program that was authorized and funded by congress and is not associated with and Disaster Relief. Raising questions about why Congress Cannot move the money around where the need is the greatest. But folks in the worst Hit Areas saying this about the outreach. The first Person Youll hear says hes a marine veteran. Watch. We dont see no federal people. I dont see no. Its your neighbour. Its her friend the Gas Station that to the mcdonalds. I see them around. I dont know exactly whos doing what. Seems most of the food is coming from civilians that are volunteering. We have not seen fema or red cross. We havent seen agencies come in here. Most people with their cameras out like we are animals in a zoo. Right now summary came out and they look through the House And Kind of got an idea of how far the water rose, what was in the house, that kind of thing. Im not sure what goes on beyond that. They said it will be out 10 days for me to hear back. I do know they give an Emergency Disbursement of 750 per family. Jordan landing says 750 is not worth much to the people considering the Devastation Theyve all gone through. Many have lost literally everything. And he joins us now. Shifts want to say not caroline. I say the other night. I know youve been through a lot. Im grateful for you giving us some time today. As you take a look around today, what you see your mind as you hear other people from North Carolina talking about what the response looks like . I agree with other people around North Carolina. The response time right now is extremely slow if at all in some areas. I havent really been touched except by the locals. Its very disappointing in our government for taking her sweet time getting over here. Its an outrage. There are reports. I know we have report on the ground and she said from some people they have seen a few fema trucks around and some local officials say they are getting help. Register President Biden saying people are getting what they need. What would you say to the president in response to that comment . We are not getting what we need right now. Theres plenty of people that are still homeless that lost everything. We are starting to get Food And Water which is we are very thankful for. But theres many people that are not going to get what they need for many, many months. Like i was saying Last Night the government is telling us what we need. We know we need. We are asking for and its either being denied or its taking too long to get here. There telling us what we need at this point. Can you tell us what you need and what would make you feel better and wheres the Food And Water you do see Coming In, was bringing that in . Where is it coming from . We are seeing places salvation army, we are seeing, i know my previous job walmart they just came in with trucks on trucks upon trucks trying to help out where they can. I have not seen any federal, but ive seen the local organizations coming together helping each other. We need our water back desperately in the city. Our Water Plant was severely damaged. Will not have running water for newer from 6 weeks to 2 months. Thats the biggest issue. We need that fixer soon as possible. Theres many people that cant just rely on bottles of water for everything. Martha that make sense. Me put this map which shows the area where you are and what youve been describing because i know you spoke earlier and you said they are still finding bodies along the french broad River And Swan in our river were shown a map over that areas. What you know about that . I live less than 20 minutes away and i could probably walk to it for my apartment. They were finding there is News Reports that was released. Anonymous police sources that were saying that their bodies they were finding entries in the morgue was full and they were placing and i think it was trailers they said. And they are still finding bodies right now. Its unreal whats going on. I did it obviously do you feel, trying to put myself in your position and we had Hurricane Sandy which was rough and we lost power but its nothing like this. What do you feel like when you wake up in the morning and you know you live in united states of america but youre in this position and as you say you havent seen anybody from the government coming to help. Martha Friday Morning i woke up and the wind was howling through the chimney undergo outside, theres a tree on my car and my Girlfriends Car and the Neighbours Car and then after start walking aroun
