that's the promise of north carolina. ery north carolinians should have a fair shot at prosperity to start a business or get a job everywhere in our state including small town north carolina. we must create good paying jobs, cut taxes for working people, strengthen our workforce and invest in broadband, roads, railroads, ports, airports to keep north carolina moving. north carolina strong means opening the doors of opportunity to every child. there is no better investment in our future than providing excellent pre-k so every child starts kindergarten healthy and ready to learn. we have to be smart about how we teach reading and how to utilize our most effective educators. as long as north carolina ranks 48th in the country in people per investment, our public school students will be d enied the education our state constitution guarantees them. to recruit and retain the best we must provide teachers and staff real pay raises. [applause] our community colleges and universities are among the best in the nation. we must keep t

[applause] [laughter]

tennessee or north carolina? i hate i hate to tell you, north carolina, it was tennessee. >> there's one of the counties in this disaster that had. >> 88% for you. >> so 88%. yeah, it's the people are just incredible people. yeah. so do you have any questions? >> press yes. mr. president, you talked about. conditions being placed on aid to california voter. >> i.d. and the like. are there any conditions that you're going to put on aid to north carolina? >> we're going to do a lot for north carolina. they've been very slow. i don't know why it's been so bad. this has been one of the worst i've seen. katrina, of course, you know, was something that obviously that was a long time ago that was not good. but this has been very slow. i don't know if that was for political reasons because they lost the state. you know, biden lost the state. maybe he felt he doesn't care. and maybe there were other reasons, i don't know. but this has been very slow by any standard. this has been very slow. and we're going to we're going

when our government failed the people north carolina in this horrible crisis. for two months asheville lacked water. so north caroline -- north carolinians cannot take a shower. water is delivered to them by someone. they go out and somehow find some. it has been four months since the storm made landfall and still 180 roads remain closed and in ruins. earlier this month, the biden administration kicked 2000 displaced north carolinians out of their temporary housing into freezing 20 degree weather. i don't know how they did that one. it was cold. even while your government provided shelter and housing for illegal aliens from all over the world. under the trump administration the days of the days of betrayal and neglect are over. they are over. as i said in my inaugural address, we restored the integrity, competency and loyalty of the american government. i think i said most of it in the inaugural address. we said a lot of things. one of the groups of people i was thinking about is you in north carolina. a lot of that was in reference to you and what you had to su

north carolina has been treated very badly. we're stopping there and we are going to then go to los angeles and take a look at a fire that would have been put out if they let the water flow. they didn't let the water flow and still haven't for whatever reasons. >> harris: on capitol hill the u.s. house passed a bipartisan fix our forests act as a response to those monstrous fires that killed 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. a former fema administrator had this to say. >> fema is immersed in terrible bureaucratic process. recovery, response and recovery has become way too complex. it is piece mealed together. there are several bills to revise fema. that is like strapping new shiny parts to a rusty bicycle. we need one bill to reform and rebuild that frame to make it less bureaucratic, empower the governors as the president says. i totally agree with that. make fema a supplement to help state and local governments. >> harris: i have a better idea, take it out of dhs. it is too big right now. jackui heinr

when north carolina, south carolina, florida, tennessee, when everybody knows the governor of tennessee, everybody. do you know everybody here pretty much? right over the hill. >> here to help the people in this region, including tennessee and the people of applachia are grateful you are here and haven't forgotten. there are other disasters but this was enormous for north carolina and tennessee so thank you. president trump: i've seen a lot of disasters and when i came here right after the -- the day after. when i came here i couldn't believe the damage. and i've seen a lot of them. this was more like a tornado. than it was what we witnessed. and we'll get it very much taken care of. good job. that's nice of you. so you call it -- you're right over the ridge. i like tennessee, too. let's see, where did i get more votes, tennessee or north carolina? i hate to tell you north carolina, it was tennessee. >> there's one of the counties in this disaster that had 88% for you. president trump: the people are just incredible people. you have any questions, press? reporter: you talk about conditi

where did i get more votes, tennessee or north carolina? i hate to tell you north carolina. it was tennessee. >> one of the counties in this disaster that had 88%. president trump: yeah. the people are just incredible people. do you have any questions, press? reporter: you talked about conditions being placed on aid to california, voter i.d. and the like. are there any conditions you are going to put on aid to north carolina? president trump: we are going to do a lot for north carolina. they have been very slow. i don't know why it's been so bad. this has been one of the worst i have seen. katrina of course, was something that was a long time ago that was not good. but this has been very slow. don't know if that was for political reasons, biden lost the state. maybe felt he doesn't care. maybe there were other reasons. i don't know. this has been very slow. by any standard this has been very slow. we are going to make up for lost time. reporter: no conditions you are going to push for aid? president trump: in california i have a condition. we want them to have voter i.d. so

to the people of north carolina, this horrible crisis. running water. even today, some north carolinians cannot take a hot water shower. they can't drink water. they don't know where to get it. it's delivered to them by somewhere -- they just go out and somehow find some. it's been four months since the storm made landfill, and still 180 roads remain closed and in ruins. later this month, the biden administration kicked 2,000 displaced north carolinians out of temporary housing into freezing 20 degrees weather. i don't know how they did that one, because it was cold, even while you're government provided shelter and housing for illegal aliens from all of the world. the days of neglect are over. they are over. as i said, in my inaugural address, we restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of the american government. i think i said most of it in the inaugural address. we said a lot of things, but one of the groups of people i was thinking about is you and north carolina. a lot of that was in reference to you and what you have had to s

what about north carolina. i said i have to stop there first. stopping in north carolina. we made the stop. you are represented by some great people, great congressman are with us and we are going to get involved with them and michael whatley who is the head of the republican party and took us to one of the most consequential presidential elections ever, 129 years. whatever that may mean. but it was a great election and we won your state all three times and all three primaries. we won it six times. and it's a great place. and i wanted to come here and before i went anywhere. in the campaign i said i would come back to western north carolina and today here i am to deliver on that promise and we have a lot of things in mind and getting the army corps of engineers all set and river banks all set and roads fixed and going to get it done and asked sues yes wilds to get the corps ready and ready to go. i don't know what took so long for the other administration. i wasn't here for the first three months or four months. we can only start out one or two days ago and we made progres

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

in north. >> carolina

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

the people of north carolina in this horrible crisis. arolinians can't take a hot water shower. they can't drink water. they don't know where to get it. they have to. it's delivered to them by somewhere. they just go out and somehow find some. it's been four months since the storm made landfall, and still 180 roads remain closed and in ruins. earlier this month, the biden administration kicked 2000 displaced north carolinians out of their temporary housing into freezing 20 degree weather. i don't know how they did that one because it was cold. even while your government provided shelter and housing for illegal aliens from all over the world. but under the trump administration, the days of betrayal and neglect are over. they are over. as i said in my inaugural address, we restore the integrity, competency and loyalty of the american government. and i think i said most of it in the inaugural address, we said a lot of. >> presidents speaking. joining us now is democratic congressman and ranking member of the house budget committee, brendan b

to asheville, north carolina.s. watch. >> president trump: zelenskyy wants to settle. he shouldn't have allowed this to happen, either. he is no angel. putin shouldn't have done it. putin shouldn't have done it. he shouldn't have done it and it has to stop. >> dana: president trump pushing for an end to russia's invasion of ukraine. given my next guest 100 days to broker a deal. retired general keith kellogg, special envoy to russia and ukraine. you had some back and forth between putin's people, zelenskyy, trump trying to figure out could this actually come to an end. you are at the helm, how do you rate the chances? >> hi, dana. thanks for having me. i think will it come to an end and president trump the only guy who can do it. i talked to him earlier this morning and talked about the strategy going forward and how it will play out. he is absolutely right talking about stopping the killing. stopping the carnage. to give you a couple of examples. the major cities mariupol, a city of 500,000. think of a city like

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

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

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

north carolina has been treated very badly. so we're stopping there and we're going to then go to los angeles and take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they left the water flow, but they didn't let the water flow, and they still haven't for whatever reason. so i think we're going to have a very interesting time. i think many of you are going with us. if you'd like to have a ride on the plane, we'd love to give it to you. >> why did you. fly? >> i don't know, is he is he going? is he going? i don't know. i mean, i really. >> don't. know. >> because if he's going to be there, it would be cheaper. but i didn't invite him. somebody did. >> will you be? >> there with republicans are. >> concerned about. >> his prospects. >> look, whatever it is, it is, he's a good man. i don't know what's going to happen. you never know in those things. but pete's a very, very good man. i hope he makes it. i hope he makes it. uh, i was very surprised that collins and murkowski would do that. and of course, mitch is always a no vote.

what they did -- what the past administration did to north carolina is a disgrace. so i just want to wish you all well. i was here right after the event. i couldn't believe it. i have never seen anything like it. i've seen a lot of bad things, but i've never seen anything like it. and it's an honor to meet the people behind me and it's an honor to be our congressional delegation and some of the other politicians in the area and it's an honor to have michael whatley at my side because maybe we wouldn't be standing here as president, him and laura, laura trump and he were incredible head of the republican party. and he comes from a place called north carolina, i said, michael, fix it. good luck. we'll supply what you need. you know that. okay, thank you. thank you all very much. thank you very much. >> what kind of a role will mr. whatley have? >> the heartbreaking stories. and there have been so many local groups that stepped up to assist these families. >> president trump: that's you know of the things you hear. >> any talk on having money -- instead of going to fem

. >> we're going to north carolina. it is a horrible way the way it has been allowed to pester and we'll get it fixed up. should have been done months ago from the hurricane that took place almost four months ago. north carolina has been treated very badly. we're stopping there and going to go to los angeles and take a look at a fire that should have been put out if they let the water in and they still haven't. so i think we'll have an interesting conversation. >> dana: president trump talking to reporters on the south lawn. four days after returning to the oval office. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning, bret. >> bret: good morning get. bret baier for bill hemmer. president trump finishing off a whirlwind week. the president wants to see the aftermath of the storm damage in north carolina and the wildfire disaster in california as he remains critical of federal and local response. he will be ending the day in nevada to thank voters for his election victory there. >> dana:

there is a great need in north carolina.storm happened four months ago, we're in the dead of winter, help can't help soon enough. hope change is on the way. thank you all for joining us, we wish you the best of luck and keeping you in our prayers certainly as you continue with the storm recovery. >> carley: todd. >> todd: president trump hard at work after saving free special counsel, he saved it and ended government censorship. >> president trump: day 1 i signed executive order to stop government censorship, no longer will government label speech of our citizens as misinformation or disinformation. we have saved free speech in america and we've saved it strongly. >> carley: fox news contributor joe concha joins us now. he made that speech at world economic forum. he is upholding first amendment. >> joe: remember ministry of truth under joe biden, that craptastically failed. more speech is better than less or no speech. no president embraced first amendment more than donald trump. yet we hear from journalism community he is

in the last few minutes donald trump has boarded air force one to head to north carolina and then northide the white house and this is what he said.- this is what he said. hello, everybody- _ this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank - this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank you - this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank you very| this is what he said. hello, - everybody. thank you very much. north carolina has been a horrible thing. we are going to get it fixed up. it is going to be done —— it should have been done months ago from the harry kane that took place almost four months ago. north carolina has been treated very badly so we are stopping there and then down to los angeles. we will take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow, but they didn't let the water flow. they still haven't for whatever reason so i think we are going to have an interesting time. i think many of you are down with us, if you would like to have a right in the plane, we would love to give it to you. donald trump there _ love to give it to you. donald trump there

in western north carolina, a drop in the bucket and has been lost.as a continued focus. david: when we last spoke with you, your whole inventory, you got to start from scratch. >> we are rebuilding, moved into temporary space and working with farmers in the us, to find ingredients and started making tea again. david: by the way, what we i see on the left of the screen, it is amazing that you went through that and are beginning to make the tea a bit. that is an extraordinary story. >> we have a lot of support in the community too. i'm grateful for that. david: it was a lifetime experience, let's hope it is the only time in your lifetime you have to deal with anything like that again. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you so much. david: trump's crypto czar predicting that the us will catch up in the industry. >> the us leads in every category. crypto is one of the few exceptions and i think that's going to be rectified because of donald trump's exec in order. david: we are following that one for you. liberal parents struggling with their trum

meena duerson, cnn boone, north carolina. >> all right. joining me now to talk more about all of this, the storm recovery efforts. republican congressman chuck edwards of north carolina, he represents areas devastated by helene. and i understand you did meet with the president during his visit on friday. so did you get any more clarity or, um, i guess more information on how your area can be better served? >> well. >> i did. >> have the honor to. >> fly from washington. d.c. and. >> accompany the president on air force one here to western north carolina. his first trip to or on. air force. >> one as. >> a as a matter of fact. and yes, we had a great deal of conversation on the failures of fema and potentially some of the ideas that are out there on. >> how we. >> can actually fix fema. >> okay. so you also heard the president, uh, tell audiences everywhere that he's even thinking about doing away with fema altogether. is it your feeling that fema should be gone, or should it be just processes that are reorganized or modifications made to b

he went to north carolina to make sure north carolina's new they were not forgotten.lot of people in north carolina who feel let down by fema. as far as los angeles, i was there. the second week of january. i heard some of the local reporting and the fire chief. whether it was lack of water or lack of pressure, the fire department went to the -- hydrants and had no water. they said we don't know how the water gets to the hydrants, we expect it to be there. whatever the reason, there was lack of water. >> we heard talk about that a moment ago. on monday, president trump declared a national energy emergency. he's convinced the price of oil and gas is pushing up the cost of transport heating, farming, and manufacturing, which has been passed onto the consumer. today it goes back to a familiar theme. >> opec to stop making so much money and drop the price of oil. because they have it nice and high. if you have it high, the war will not end so easily. opec should get on the ball and drop the price of oil. in that war will stop right away. >> in president trump's eyes, he p

they never even visited north carolina. kamala harris just right before the election she finally went to visit the border. this is what competency looks like people are shocked how much is he getting done. he worked on all these executive orders making sure that we are ahead of china. he is working on the southern border. is he working on the flood victims. i am just really proud to have our president serve and really care about the people of l.a. it is amazing. alex, to allison's point there. i think we have just gotten so used to having an absentee president, like we're right across from the white house, right now. broadcasting. for four years like the lights are on but nobody is home literally and metaphorically, symbolically. now trump is on the scene everybody knows is he a problem solve are, everybody knows is he a deal maker. i think that emotionally for america is very, very important. i want to play adam schiff the juneier senator from california about possible conditions on aid to the state, watch this. i hope he

jeff zeleny in asheville, north carolina, thanks so much. let's bring in cnn's daniel dale to get the facts on what trump said today and in the past about fema's response in north carolina to hurricane helene. daniel, walk us through the president's comments. >> jake. >> the president is totally. >> entitled, of course, to criticize fema. >> and today. and in. >> months past, he has delivered some. >> accurate criticism of fema. >> but he's also. >> said a lot of things about fema and the general federal response to helene that are just wrong, including a bunch of claims that i think could potentially dissuade americans who need federal disaster assistance from even applying for it. so. >> for example. >> trump said this month that fema is out of money. if you're thinking of applying for fema. >> aid, please know that. >> is not even close to true. fema's disaster relief fund had about $27 billion in it as. >> of. >> two weeks ago. similarly, the president has said repeatedly that fema has no money for north carolina because it took all that

north carolina, josh, just the impact we put up the graphic here.s, more than $53 billion in damage in north carolina. 151,000 homes impacted. and we talk about the devastation out in l.a. as well. those numbers are soaring, obviously, as that real estate and the devastation that they are looking at now. i want to play this soundbite about the president saying he would consider an overhaul, complete overhaul or maybe get rid of fema. take a listen. >> i will also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling fema or maybe get rid of fema. i think frankly fema is not good. >> there is always room for improvement. but it needs to start with the conversation with governors and state directors on what they have troubles with. so we can hear from them to better understand how you would make changes. >> bret: i mean this executive order is a commission to study that, josh. but he's talking about maybe block granting to local and state governments instead of having federal officials go to areas they don't kno

earlier today, the president and first lady visited flooding damage in north carolina. governor newsom's office says he will greet president trump at the tarmac when air force one lands at lax. now, newsom was not invited to actually tour the scorched regions with the president. the two rarely see eye to eye, as you know. trump has blasted california's water policy and response to the wildfires. earlier, while visiting the disaster zone in north carolina, trump put a new condition on federal disaster aid for california. >> in california, we want them to have voter id so the people have a voice, because right now the people don't have a voice because you don't know who's voting. and it's very corrupt. and we also want them to release the water. if they release the water, they wouldn't have had a problem if they released the water when i told them to because i told them to do it seven years ago, if they would have done it, you wouldn't have had the problem that you had. you might have. you might not have even had a fire. >> trump also proposed possibly eliminating fema. a

i know that private helicopters were grounded in north carolina.now that americans always step up for other americans, they can rely on one another. the question is can they rely on their government and can the government get out of the way of americans helping americans? donald trump is so exasperated -- he is ready to revisit. >> i would like to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling fema or maybe getting rid of it. i think it's vaguely not good. i think when you have a problem like this, i think you want to go and whether it's a democrat or republican government -- you want to use the state to fix it and not waste time calling fema and then fema gets here and they don't know the area. they have never been to the area and they want to give you rules that you have never heard about. they want to -- and it turned out to be a disaster. >> will: i had a conversation and they pointed out they don't want to dive into the blame game and that's honourable, and that's not his job as they pointed out. and it is my job at all of our jo

he came back to north carolina. so he keeps his promises.people like to say he's a liar. he isn't. he hells -- he tells the truth, and i appreciate him keeping his promises. and, of course, he wants to see the efficiency of the federal government. he's not happy with fema. and there's some good reasons for that, and i think he's looking at how to fix fema if or make it a different organization or maybe just closing ital a together. but he believes -- altogether. he believes there needs to be changes if we're going to be more efficient in responding. of course, samaritan's purse, we've been working there now since the flood, and it's something that we're going to continue. we'll be there for the next three years at least helping people to rebuild. charlie: so, you know, one of the hard things for people who aren't there to wrap their head around is just how devastating the damage is and remains even four months later. what are the problem -- that are the most pressing problems people still are dealing with there right now? >> i think probably

he was asked specifically whether there should be conditions for north carolina.did not say that there should be should aid in the face of a disaster, be conditional for any state. >> well, i believe that any state should be expected to follow the rule of law of of the federal government. that's probably the single biggest thing that california has been missing in embracing sanctuary cities, for example, and ignoring their own responsibilities to protect their property from fire. i, i believe the federal government certainly should look at those types of practices when we're going to dole out tens of billions of dollars. >> so one of the things that the president floated today was he wants to see a voter i.d. law, potentially as part of the conditioning on aid. is that appropriate? >> i think that that is extremely appropriate, given the the lack of confidence that we've seen. michael holmes. >> so so you believe that that is that should be and makes sense as a condition for aid, for for disaster relief, for these wildfires. voter identification. >> oh, i. >> yeah

take a look at western north carolina.p in mind, it was just last week lost their homes because of hurricane helene. they were getting a knock on their hotel rooms. you got get out. today your last day. on monday apparently this transitional residential act has been extended two more months for those people. the president is going to look with his own two eyes what happened to asheville and other places and l.a. which has been disseminated in some spots by the fires. he made it very clear last night chatting with sean federal response, fema, not so good and he has a better idea. have the states do it and the feds will give him the money. >> i will say that los angeles has changed everything. because a lot of money is going to be necessary for los angeles. and a lot of people on the other side want that to happen. >> sean: north carolina? >> the democrats don't care about north carolina. what they have done with fema is so bad. i'm stopping on friday. i'm stopping in north carolina. first stop. because those people were tre

. >> north carolina two. >> president donald trump: they don't care about north carolina democrats don'te about north carolina what they have done with fema is so bad, fema is another discussion, because all it does ask complicate everything. fema has not done their job for the last four years, i had them working really well we had hurricanes in florida we had alabama, tornadoes, but unless you have certain types of leadership it's really -- it gets in the way and fema is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly because i would rather see the states take care of their own problems and they have tornadoes, oklahoma is very confident, i love oklahoma, 77 out of 77 districts and that is never been done before. think of it, three times never been done, ronald reagan had the record, 56 out of 77, i got 77 out of 77, you have to love a place like that. if they get hit with the tornado, let oklahoma fix it, you don't need -- and then the federal government can help them with the money. fema is getting in the way of everything and the democrats actually used fema not to help north carolin

you've got the california has a democratic governor, so does north carolina. this may be a police state, but it also has a democratic governance. i expect politics to come into this quite a lot as well. okay, well forward, just seeing pictures that of donald trump looks like he's meeting with some of those people in ashville, north carolina, where you are, and the lots of them are taking pictures of them. thanks very much for the update for level israel says it will not meet the deadline for the full implementation of it sees fine with has butler is positive. that's agreement is really ministry was set to pull out of southern lebanon on sunday bots, not withdrawal has now been delayed. so no holder has moved from beta hours before the 60 day deadline for the israeli army to leave lebanese territory. the office of prime minister benjamin nothing apple announced troops will be staying longer because it says 11 on hasn't fully enforced. it's part of the agreement. is there any troops have been present in border villages? such a ceasefire ended as well as war with

the president is going there and he will be greeted by republican representatives from north carolinais meeting. that speaks volumes in itself. he is going to meet some of the families who were badly affected so i expect we will hear some remarks from him about how he viewsjoe biden and how he handled the situation, and he will then fly across the country to los angeles and he will go to pacific palisades, one of the area really badly affected by one of those earlier wildfires, still burning, by the way. 75% of the fire is contained at the moment. as we said, firefighters still fighting three new ones but actually ten fires in total in and around los angeles. they are backed up by firefighters from canada and mexico which is interesting when you think what the president has said about those countries in recent days. to that point. _ countries in recent days. to that point, let's listen to what donald trump said two delegates in davos because he has talked about tariffs globally and he has gone in a very interesting direction with canada. we have a tremendous amount of deficit_ we have

here's the president speaking earlier in north carolina. it's terrible. it should have been done. it should have been a lot- of things should have happened that didn't happen. so we're here. - we're going to fix it out. california, just to revert to it for a second. - millions of gallons of water are waiting to be poured i down through already the half pipes that are already built. . i mean, they've been up for 40 years. - and about 20 years ago, i they turned off the water. and in the meantime, you don't have water in the hydrants. - you don't have water- in the sprinkler systems. it's the craziest - thing i've ever seen. and everyone is trying i to figure out why aren't they turning it back? they say it's the delta smelt. it's a fish. but i find that hard to believe. - mercifully, there is rain forecast this weekend, which will give some relief to firefighters who have been on the line. but there's also fears it could cause potential mudslides in fire—scorched areas. authorities and residents are preparing for that possibility by deployin
