that's 4% of north carolina's national guard. six days after the storm hit, only about one-tenth of north carolina's national guard was activated. it took six days after helene made landfall on october 2nd for governor roy cooper to request active-duty troops. 1,000 at that time. almost a week. even at that moment -- these are facts. they were not given command and control by the governor. even if this falls back to the states, as president trump talked about, the states have a better command of how these funds can be dispersed. if you are run by someone who is incompetent -- and you can look at california as well -- then that does not help. i will just leave it there. the only reason lives were saved and not more people died in north carolina is because of the vast private army of helicopter pilots who flew into the mountains. people i know who were delivering aid and rescuing people to after day, when there was no one there but private citizens and people from these groups. it disgraced to this nation that it was led by joe bid

the people in north carolina, the people in, in, in, in l.a., but in particular the people in north carolina who are hearing the president come have already gotten the disinformation, misinformation in their sort of echo chambers from their neighbors who haven't applied for aid, that maybe they are eligible for, that could really help them because they don't have the correct facts. help us with that. >> the lies impact people's lives. they really do. so again, people are entitled to criticize fema's response to helene. the overall biden administration's response. but the fact is that trump has made numerous claims about fema and that federal response that are just not true. so, for example, he said in early january that fema is out of money. one of those lies that impacts people. it is not out of money. fema's disaster relief fund had $27 billion in it as of two weeks ago. he said repeatedly that fema had no money for north carolina because it diverted all of the funding to illegal immigrants. that did not happen. what actually happened was that congress gave fema tens of billions for disast

the president is in north carolina. they're going to be getting a briefing on the latest efforts to help those folks in north carolina, still suffering terribly from that awful hurricane helene. a lot of money has been delegated by congress for the folks of north carolina not a lot has made it there. but again, as we watch the president disembark from his plane, steve, at this particular time continue with all the momentum now is with president trump, and frankly all the political momentum in california seems to be against governor newsom. won't donald trump have his way with the governor, get those actions that you were talking about that donald trump was talking about in 2020, that the governor back then didn't accept? >> you just never know with these people. the real fundamental problem in california is that you've got this terrible combination of incompetence. we've seen that throughout this disaster both before in terms of preparation and the response. but it's also ideologically driven. it's not just random. a lo

so way to go in north carolina. i mean. and before we get any further into this thing, i mean, we no one's really brought up the fact that i'm from north dakota as opposed to north carolina. but i just want to tell you, because many of you probably never been to north dakota, you don't know you're from north dakota. but i just want to take a minute and think what it's like every time you see a list of all the states alphabetically. we're behind you guys. and and so i'm proposing that there's a new list that if you have a state that has a geographic label in front of it, like the word north, it should be listed in order of those that are actually north, the furthest north one would be would be ahead on that list. that's what i'm kind of thinking. but i don't know where that's going to go. but just a thought. but but i was i thought it was cool. you guys got we don't have we don't have a toast in our state. we don't have a state toast. and right after the pledge you had the state toast. and i'm looking at the state toast and

the north carolina board of elections moved the case to u.s. district court because of its implications for federal voting laws. now griffin is trying to move it back to the state's highest court saying it would better understand the specifics of his case. >> i wonder why he wanted it in the state supreme court? because they have a republican majority they may want to expand? a trump-appointed federal judge did that, kicking the case back to the republican-controlled north carolina supreme court. the very court that griffin ran to join and lost. the republican majority in the court blocked the certification of his loss, opening the door to them just flat out stealing an election the democrats won narrowly but fair and square. do not be fooled for one second. and think republicans attack on democracy over because democrats certified the presidential results. it remains the case that republicans often or too often only accept election results when they win. bob morris a justice in the north carolina supreme court from 1995 until 2004 and left the

it's throughout north carolina. a lot of places like in mississippi, alabama basically anywhere that had poultry processing, manufacturing, a lot of those kinds of different industries that were actively seeking out these groups. so i'm going to tell you a little bit about one of these folks. so joanna sandoval was one of the many latinos who moved to dalton in the 1980s. she was born to mexican parents in the united states, and she up in michigan and came to dalton after graduating from college in the 1980s. this she wasn't able to find work despite. her ability to speak both english and spanish fluently in her college education. she felt she was blocked from these jobs because she was latino when she arrived in 1980, she was only part of a small community of latinos, maybe about 100 and most of them were poor. few english and many were undocumented. seeing the members of the community who needed service, she partnered with the local church to help residents with immigration. the group continued to grow and began t

they said, well, what about north carolina?pping in north carolina. so we made the stop and i feel very good. you have represented by some great people, great, great congressmen are with us. and we're going to get involved with them. and michael whatley is here, who is the head of the republican party. he worked with laura trump to take us through to a tremendous victory. one of the as the media says, one of the most consequential presidential elections ever. they say in 129 years, whatever that may mean. but whatever it is, it's it was a great election we had and we won your state all three times. we won your state and all three primaries we won yesterday. so we won it six times, i guess. mr. congressman. yeah. and it's a great place. and i wanted to come here and before i went anywhere frankly. and the campaign, i promised that i'd come back to western north carolina to help the people of the state. and today, here i am to deliver on that promise. and we have a lot of things in mind. and we're getting the corps of the army, c

and here in western north carolina. as you can see behind me, this is just one glimpse of so many of the sights we see as we drive around. and residents, of course, have been enduring this for four months. as an opport government works. one piece of project 2025, which, of course, was a blueprint that some conservatives used during the campaign, was to effectively get rid of fema, the the disaster agency. well, the president is hearing from some people, but also seeing signs along the the roadway. there was a sign that greeted him that said fema helped me. so of course, this is actually a blue part of an otherwise red part of western north carolina here in buncombe county, here in asheville. but of course, politics aside, people are not asking what the voter registration is. if you're a republican or a democrat. people were hit equally here. but president trump is using his first visit here to make clear that he wants to streamline some of funding, even as it's clear that so much more needs to be done here. he'll be tra

we are putting in this case north carolina and california. we are going to do a good job in california. that is a disaster like i don't know if we have ever seen anything like it, frankly. they say the biggest in the history of california. i think is anything bigger than that happened in the whole country ever? it looks like -- don't want to say what it looks like, you know what i'm going to say. it looks like something hit it. we won't talk about what hit it. it is a bad, bad situation. and i guess i'm going to meet with with some government officials, but much more importantly -- in california, just to revert to it for a second, millions of gallons of water are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. they have been up for 40 years. and about 20 years ago they turned off the water. and it's the water that comes from the pacific northwest, some of it comes out of canada. and it flows there. and it probably has flowed there for a million years. they turned it off. and they route it out to the pacific. i

um in south carolina boeing, 787-10 jetliners are made in south carolina. and so i had the opportunity to meet with the foreign minister of saudi arabia in riyadh. and i thank them uh for their uh $39 billion purchase of um of 780 sevens. uh with the understanding they may double the purchase. uh and then i was really grateful to meet um with ambassador altan of qatar. indeed, where they were making substantial purchases of south carolina made being boeing 7 87-10. and so my constituents um can see the benefit of foreign direct investment and foreign sales of exports, imports. the port of charleston has recently been dredged to 52 ft for super panamax container ships. and so we, we can see the benefit of my constituents substantially. not all can see the benefit of a strong america and a dynamic america and the mutual benefit of trade around the world. >> i just got back from israel and it was just as this cease fire in lebanon was being negotiated and there was, there were there's mixed feelings in israel about the cease fire for all kinds of reasons. ther

north carolina republicans had a bad election night statewide.ate mark robinson, who lost by 15 points. they probably could've done better. they lost that state supreme court race. my sense, and i read local politics there very well, there is not a ton of handwringing about what did we do wrong. there is just this well we are just going to move some authority out of the offices to republicans and we are just going to keep fighting. >> the strategy was in place and i really think this litigation strategy was there in case trump lost north carolina by an incredibly close margin. and so, while, like i said, any legitimate challenge to an election goes through a court process. that's the way the system is supposed to work. but you know, what's troubling to me, two things -- one is the attacks on the election workers and state board of elections and their staff, who i think have done an incredible job in north carolina, in a nonpartisan way. and so it's fundamentally wrong, i think, to be attacking them as somehow cooking the books on this. and the ot

she wanted to be here because of north carolina.ou can do that, but you have to come to california too. she said, that's ok. we have to fix that up too. have you ever seen anything like that one? who would have thought that could have happened. governor josh stein, thank you very much. caroline:caroline: president trump in north carolina talking with those affected by hurricane helene. please, go to live go if you have bloomberg terminal. we returned to frank mccourt founder of mccourt global and executive chairman of project liberty that has a bid for tiktok. president trump is thinking about having the u.s. government own a piece of tiktok. frank: we want to work alongside president trump. i think he can be very helpful. ultimately, u.s. tiktok will be in the hands of the private sector. totally disentangled from the chinese technology. i think that's really clear in the legislation. it was made doubly clear on pages five and six of the supreme court decision. congress is looking for complete disentanglement. that is what puts us

for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? mr. wilson: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: thank you, mr. speaker. the rule of gun access of invasion continues murderous conduct. the iranian regime and cuban communist dictatorship are working to destabilize west africa, with a murderous threat to the kingdom of morocco, an american partner for 250 years. records of the deposed assad syrian dictatorship confirm they sent militias for training last week. last week they invaded p.k.k. terrorists to a summit threatening our valued nato a ally, turkiye. president donald trump stood with morocco recognizing western sahara as moroccan. i appreciate chairing the more racko friendship caucus. in conclusion god bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. open borders for dictators puts all americans at risk of more never attacks imminent as warned by the f.b.i. trump admini
