so when you look at that, you look at the hurricane ida, which just hit new orleans and hit new yorkjust ravaged many places in between. the president of the united states had fema and other assistance there when needed. i'm sure if joe biden had an opportunity to sit back and pick and choose which catastrophes he was going to deal with at which point or which foreign policy he would have to deal with at a certain point, he would have chosen it differently. he's the president of the quite a -- united states and doesn't get that privilege. he can handle things better than he has certainly. at the end of the day, i think the president of the united states has done a good job at protecting the interest of the united states of america and actually, ensuring the safety and security of all of us. >> bakari makes a great point in the sense of essentially compartmentalizing different aspects of what was predictable, what was foreseen, what he's reacting to, what he's proactively addressing and he'll be judged everywhere in between because that's what politics is about. in terms of the predic

because the fact is, parishes in louisiana, like new orleans and st. issued a voluntary evacuation order at first and may not have even have had enough time to make a mandatory one as the storm moved in so fast. other parishes a voluntary evacuation order suggested that residents could try to protect themselves by sheltering in place against the ferocious winds. but we can all understand why folks felt safest leaving their homes and going elsewhere, out of the path of the devastating storm. no one, no one fled this killer storm because they were looking for a vacation or a road trip. you are able to stay in a hotel. they left their homes because they felt it was flee or risk death. therea™s nothing voluntary about that. so, i am calling on private insurance companies right now, at this critical moment: dona™t hide behind the fine print and technicality. do your job. keep your commitments to your communities that you insure. do the right thing and pay your policy holders what you owe them to cover the cost of temporary housing in the midst of a natural
