00:01:07.ORG. >> NEXT, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY MARKWAYNE MULLIN,
00:01:10HOLDING A ROUNDTABLE WITH
00:01:12REPUBLICAN NEBRASKA SENATOR PETE RICKETTS AND FEMA OFFICIALS
00:01:16DISCUSSING RECENT DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS IN NEBRASKA. HE
00:01:18WAS JOINED BY RECENTLY CONFIRMED FEMA ADMINISTRATOR CAMERON
00:01:22HAMILTON, WHO WAS BRIEFLY FIRED
00:01:24BY PRESIDENT TRUMP BEFORE BEING
00:01:26RENOMINATED FOR THE POSITION.
00:01:33>> CAN YOU CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF? SO I KNOW WHO I'M
00:01:36TALKING TO OKAY.
00:01:39>> UM, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT
00:01:42CYBERSECURITY AND THE ONGOING
00:01:46POSSIBLE ATTACKS AND ATTACKS
00:01:49AGAINST WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN
00:01:50MINNESOTA WHAT IS HOMELAND
00:01:53SECURITY DOING TO PREVENT THOSE KINDS
00:01:57>> WELL, WE'RE ALWAYS OUR CYBER INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALWAYS AN
00:02:01ATTACK. AND BECAUSE OF CISA, IT FALLS WITHIN DEPARTMENT OF
00:02:04HOMELAND SECURITY. WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FROM THE SEA TO
00:02:08THE FIBER TO TO CYBER, UH, TO
00:02:11AIR AND TO LAND. AND SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH ALL
00:02:13THESE THREATS. I THINK IRAN
00:02:16SPECIFICALLY SPEAKS A REALLY BIG, AMBITIOUS GAME AND FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH VERY LITTLE. THEY
00:02:20SEEM TO TAKE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR A LOT OF THINGS THEY DIDN'T DO. NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY
00:02:23DON'T HAVE BAD ACTORS THAT ARE ALWAYS OUT THERE, BUT YOU HAVE.
00:02:27CHINA IS PROBABLY THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO CYBER. UM, NORTH
00:02:31KOREA IS PROBABLY THE SECOND WORST. RUSSIA DOESN'T DO IT DIRECTLY, BUT THEY HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PROXIES
00:02:34THAT THEY ALLOW TO HAVE SAFE HAVEN IN THEIR BANKING SYSTEMS
00:02:37AND INSIDE THEIR COUNTRY. AND
00:02:42IRAN IS IS GREATLY WEAKENED. UH,
00:02:43THEY, THEY, THEY DON'T HAVE NEAR
00:02:47THE ABILITY THAT THEY, THAT THEY
00:02:50CLAIM TO HAVE OR USED TO HAVE BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:02:52TRYING TO ELIMINATE THAT THREAT. UM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN, THEY'VE
00:02:56BEEN THREATENING THE UNITED
00:02:57STATES FOR 49 YEARS, BUT WE, WE
00:03:01PREVENT THOUSANDS OF ATTACKS DAILY. BUT EVERY TIME WE PREVENT
00:03:05AN ATTACK, THAT JUST MEANS THAT THEY DECIDED THAT WAY DOESN'T WORK. AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A
00:03:08DIFFERENT WAY UM, UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, WE
00:03:12HAVE DECIDED THAT WE'RE NOT
00:03:14GOING TO JUST SIT BACK AND BE
00:03:18DEFENSIVE ONLY. WE'VE GOT TO BE OFFENSIVE. WE'VE GOT TO MOVE.
00:03:20WE'VE GOT TO GO AFTER THE BAD
00:03:23ACTORS BY SWIMMING UPSTREAM, THE SAME CHANNEL. THEY'RE COMING TO
00:03:26US, UH, FOR YEARS, CYBER HAS
00:03:29BEEN ONE COUNTRY OR ONE. ONE
00:03:32COMPANY, UH, OR ONE MUNICIPALITY
00:03:35OR ONE STATE, ONE HOSPITAL, ONE
00:03:37TECH COMPANY FIGHTING AN ARMY
00:03:41FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER. WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE
00:03:44TO COLLABORATE BETWEEN EACH
00:03:46OTHER, UH, AND BE ABLE TO, TO, TO, TO GO AFTER THE THREAT.
00:03:50THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY. IT'S ONLY ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,
00:03:53ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW AI TECHNOLOGY. WHY IT CAN BE USED
00:03:56FOR VERY POSITIVE THINGS. IT CAN
00:03:59ALSO BE USED FOR VERY NEGATIVE THINGS TOO. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A FIGHT THAT'S NOT GOING TO
00:04:03END. WE'RE RECRUITING INSIDE CISA, BY THE WAY, FOR ANY OF
00:04:07YOUR UNIVERSITIES AROUND HERE, WE'RE NEEDING THE BEST. WE'RE GOING TO GET VERY, VERY
00:04:11AGGRESSIVE AT THIS. AND IT TAKES PEOPLE THAT ARE FROM A YOUNGER
00:04:14GENERATION THAN MYSELF TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHERE THE THREATS
00:04:16ARE COMING FROM, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. THE COUNTRY NEEDS
00:04:19YOUR HELP. IT'S A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK THAT WE'RE
00:04:21CONSTANTLY FIGHTING
00:04:38, >> CAUSE FUNDING DELAYS OR THE
00:04:40TOWNS THAT NEED. THAT?
00:04:42>> IT ACTUALLY SHOULD MOVE MUCH
00:04:45QUICKER? I THINK I MAY LET THE CHIEF SPEAK TO THIS, BECAUSE
00:04:48WHEN THE WHEN THE WHEN THEY'RE
00:04:50ABLE TO RESPOND FAST, WE'LL LET
00:04:53THIS GO FOR A SECOND.
00:04:56>> ENGINE 78 DR. SHAH 78. META
00:05:0178. BATTALION FIVE. RESCUE ONE.
00:05:05PERSONAL INJURY, ACCIDENT NORTH.
00:05:08156th STREET AND PARK DRIVE. HAD
00:05:18BATTALION FIVE. RESCUE 60
00:05:20SUPERVISOR ONE. PERSONAL INJURY,
00:05:24ACCIDENT 156th STREET AND DRIVE,
00:05:26HAD SIX
00:05:30>> PERFECT EXAMPLE ABOUT TINY. THEY'LL GET THIS MESSAGE A LOT
00:05:34FASTER THAN WE WOULD GET THIS MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON, D.C., SO
00:05:37I THINK I'LL LET THE CHIEFS SPEAK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEM
00:05:40BEING ABLE TO GET OUT THERE FASTER, AND KNOWING THAT THE MONEY IS GOING TO COME IN, THEY
00:05:43CAN RESPOND WITH A RELATIONSHIP
00:05:46SAYING, WE'RE GOING TO NEED THIS GRANT COMING IN. SO, CHIEF. >> THANK YOU. YEAH. SO THE
00:05:49SECRETARY IS CORRECT. OUR PERSONNEL WILL RESPOND TO ANY
00:05:53DISASTER. UH, WE CAN THEN
00:05:57ESTABLISH OUR PROCEDURE FOR
00:06:00RESPONDING AND COORDINATING WITH
00:06:03OUTSIDE AGENCIES AND HAVE THE
00:06:05EQUIPMENT NECESSARY, KNOWING THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT IS GOING
00:06:09TO HAPPEN, WE CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PERFORM
00:06:12AT OUR HIGHEST LEVEL USING THE
00:06:15EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEST OR MOST
00:06:17APPROPRIATE FOR THE RESCUE OR
00:06:19RESPONSE. UH, KNOWING THAT WE
00:06:21CAN TRUST OUR, OUR STATE AND
00:06:26FEDERAL PARTNERS TO SUPPORT US. >> AND THIS IS WHERE
00:06:29RELATIONSHIPS MATTER. THIS IS WHY YOUR REPRESENTATION, YOUR
00:06:32LEADERSHIP, YOUR SENATORS, AND YOUR, YOUR CONGRESSMEN FROM THE
00:06:36FEDERAL LEVEL NEED TO HAVE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH, WITH THOSE
00:06:39OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE LOCAL LEVEL, TOO, WHICH IS
00:06:42WHY I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH THE
00:06:45VALUE THAT SENATOR RICKETTS PETE RICKETTS HAS, BECAUSE THE
00:06:48RELATIONSHIP HE HAS HERE AND THE
00:06:50RELATIONSHIPS HE HAS IN DC,
00:06:53BECAUSE KATHY OR THE CHIEF MAY
00:06:55NOT BE ABLE TO GET DIRECTLY TO
00:06:58US RIGHT AWAY. BUT SENATOR
00:07:01RICKETTS QUICK. AND SENATOR RICKETTS HAS MY PHONE NUMBER, AND I KNOW I HAVE CAM'S NUMBER.
00:07:05UH, AND WE TALK WAY TOO OFTEN.
00:07:08MY WIFE IS GETTING JEALOUS.
00:07:12>> SO. >> ALL RIGHT. UH, WHAT ELSE?
00:07:15YES, SIR
00:07:19>> ABC AFFILIATE HERE IN OMAHA. SO THIS PAST FRIDAY.
00:07:22>> I THOUGHT SHE WAS A B C. CVS,
00:07:26NBC. OKAY. WOW. WE'RE GETTING ALL THREE. GREAT
00:07:30>> UH,
00:07:39LEGAL. FOR MEMBERS, INDIVIDUALS
00:07:41THAT ARE TYPICALLY THE FIRST OF
00:07:45DISASTERS, UH, EFFORTS TO REDUCE
00:07:52THE PATTY MURRAY. HOW CAN YOU BE
00:07:58GOING TO GET THE PROPER
00:08:00ASSESSMENTS. UM, IN RESOURCES
00:08:05>> PERSONNEL THAT YOU NEED. IT'S EFFICIENCY IS WHAT YOU
00:08:08NEED. UH, YOU KNOW WHAT SETTING
00:08:10IN, IN SENATE HEARINGS, UH, WITH
00:08:13MY GOOD FRIEND, PETE RICKETTS, YOU ALWAYS HAD FEDERAL AGENCIES
00:08:17COME IN AND SAY, WE NEED MORE PERSONNEL. WE COULD HIRE MORE,
00:08:20WE GET MORE EFFICIENT. AND ALL IT CREATES IS A LOT MORE
00:08:23REDUNDANCY IN THE DOLLAR BEING WASTED ON PAYROLL, RATHER THAN
00:08:26GETTING TO THE DISASTER. UM,
00:08:28WHEN WE WHAT YOU NEED IS MORE
00:08:30EFFICIENCY. WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO
00:08:34IT. THROWING, THROWING, THROWING PEOPLE AT A PROBLEM THAT AREN'T,
00:08:38UH, PASSIONATE ABOUT OR NOT BEING AN ADDED VALUE TO IT
00:08:41DOESN'T HELP, UH, FOR SOME REASON, WE'RE CONSTANTLY
00:08:44GETTING NOT JUST WITH FEMA, BUT ALL ACROSS THE FEDERAL AGENCIES. THEY'RE SAYING, YOU CAN'T LET
00:08:47PEOPLE GO. YOU GOT TO KEEP THEM THERE. WHEN WE KNOW BEING IN A
00:08:51PRIVATE INDUSTRY LIKE MYSELF, USUALLY IN A, IN A, IN A LARGE
00:08:55CORPORATION, 20% OF THE PEOPLE DO, THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK,
00:08:5780% OF THE PEOPLE DO THEIR JOB.
00:09:00WHEN A DISASTER, YOU NEED, YOU
00:09:02NEED 100% THE MAJORITY OF THE
00:09:04WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO WHEN SOME FEDERAL JUDGE TRIES TO COME
00:09:08IN AND TELLS US HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE TO HAVE ON STAFF, YET
00:09:12THEY'RE NOT IN THE BUILDING, THEY'RE NOT RUNNING. THE AGENCY
00:09:15IS LAUGHABLE. STAY IN YOUR LANE.
00:09:18DEAL WITH KNOW, PROSECUTE
00:09:21CRIMINALS, SEND THEM TO SEND THEM TO PRISON, AND, AND, AND
00:09:25RULE FROM THE BENCH. DON'T GET INTO HIRING AND FIRING OF AN
00:09:28AGENCY OR A PRIVATE COMPANY TO THAT'S, IT'S ABSOLUTELY ABSURD
00:09:31THAT THEY WALK DOWN THAT LANE.
00:09:34>> THEY ASK A FOLLOW UP. I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE AGAINST THE
00:09:37DESIRE THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY
00:09:44MORE >> CARNEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT? SURE.
00:09:47>> I MEAN, SOME OF PROCESS
00:09:55CLAIMS THAT WE HAVE TO. SOME OF THE EVEN INDIVIDUAL DISPENSING
00:09:59AUTHORITY THAT THE AGENCY HAS LACKED BEFORE, WE'RE LOOKING TO
00:10:02OVERHAUL OUR ENTIRE IT FOOTPRINT SO THAT WE ULTIMATELY GET BETTER
00:10:05CUSTOMER SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS, WHICH ARE THE STATES THAT
00:10:09ULTIMATELY REPRESENT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. UM, WE OWE THEM
00:10:12THAT. AND WITH THOSE NEW
00:10:13PROCESSES, YOU'RE GOING WILL
00:10:17ACTUALLY BE A LOT FASTER. I MEAN, SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER. THE
00:10:21PROJECTED TIMETABLES FOR WHAT
00:10:22WE'RE LOOKING AT REDUCE THE
00:10:25RECOVERY TIMEFRAMES BY HALF.
00:10:27THAT'S SIGNIFICANT. DOLLARS
00:10:33POTENTIALLY SAVED WITH UNINTENDED COST ESCALATION. AND COMMUNITIES CAN ACTUALLY
00:10:36REDEVELOP FASTER. SO I WOULD SAY THAT BY RUNNING A MORE LEAN
00:10:40ORGANIZATION AND BY MAKING IT INVESTMENTS TO ENSURE THAT WE
00:10:43GIVE BETTER CUSTOMER PARTNERS
00:10:47HERE, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THE OPPOSITE. YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT WE CAN PROCESS THINGS
00:10:50FASTER A FASTER PACE WITH FAR
00:10:54LESS BUREAUCRACY. >> AND I'LL ADD THIS TO
00:10:58UNDERNEATH THE CURRENT OR THE
00:11:00PAST ADMINISTRATION OR THE BIDEN'S LEADERSHIP. MOST OF THE
00:11:03FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GREW BY 50 TO 100%. AND WE'RE STILL DEALING
00:11:07WITH BACKLOGS FROM 2024. THAT
00:11:12WAS NEVER PROCESSED, UH, FROM,
00:11:14FROM 2022, FROM 2021, THAT HAS
00:11:18NEVER BEEN PROCESSED. AND, AND SO MORE PEOPLE THROWN AT THE
00:11:20PROBLEM. PROBLEM DOESN'T, DOESN'T EQUATE TO MORE
00:11:24EFFICIENCY. WE'RE ACTUALLY CLEANING UP MORE AND STAYING ON
00:11:27TOP OF WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
00:11:29THEN THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION DID WITH ALMOST 50% MORE
00:11:33INDIVIDUALS. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE EFFICIENCY, ABILITY, AND BILL LEE TO EMPOWER PEOPLE LIKE
00:11:37RYAN AND JAY TO DO THEIR JOB, TRUSTING THEIR, TRUSTING THEIR
00:11:41ABILITY INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS CHAIN OF COMMAND THAT'S GOT TO
00:11:44FLY THROUGH, THROUGH SIX CHANNELS. AND IF ONE PERSON'S ON
00:11:48VACATION OR MATERNITY LEAVE FOR, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG MATERNITY
00:11:51LEAVE IS ANYMORE, I HAVEN'T HAD. I NEVER HAD A KID, ACTUALLY, BUT
00:11:54I HAVE SIX KIDS. MY WIFE HAS,
00:11:55UM, BUT IT, THAT PIECE OF PAPER
00:11:58JUST STAYS PUT AND, AND IT
00:12:00DOESN'T GET PASSED. AND SO ONE
00:12:03LINK IN THAT CHAIN CAN CAUSE A WHOLE THING TO FAIL. WHEN WHAT
00:12:06WE'RE TRYING TO SAY IS WE'RE GOING TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE SURE IF SOMEONE DOES HAVE TO GO
00:12:10ON MATERNITY LEAVE, OR SOMEONE DOES NEED TO GO OUT FROM BEING
00:12:13SICK, UM, OR SOMEONE QUITS OR GETS FIRED, THAT PAPERWORK DOESN'T GET LOST. IT CONTINUES
00:12:17TO MOVE. AND YOU CAN DO THAT.
00:12:20WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE? YES,
00:12:27MA'AM.
00:12:29>> UM, FINANCIAL A COMBINATION.
00:12:35>> YEAH. WELL, LET JAY, YOU GOT THE NUMBERS
00:12:39>> YEAH THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.
00:12:42AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IN 2026.
00:12:46FOR 2025. DISASTER, PRIMARILY, UH, WE'VE ALSO INVESTED IN
00:12:50PREPAREDNESS GRANTS. SO IN 2024
00:12:54AND 2025, UM INVESTED IN
00:13:01PREPAREDNESS AND RESILIENCY
00:13:04ADMINISTRATIVE. TALKED ABOUT. SO
00:13:06WE'RE OVER. AND THEN THERE'S
00:13:08SOME OTHER ASSISTANCE GOING TO
00:13:14THE STATE OF NEBRASKA IN THE LAST 12 TO 18 MONTHS.
00:13:17>> AND I WANT TO PUT OUT, PUT OUT, HE SAID. THAT'S A LOT OF
00:13:21THAT'S FROM 24. AND, AND, AND
00:13:2325. WE. AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE PROCESSING THAT. WE'RE STAYING
00:13:28UP ON CURRENT STORM STORMS WITH THE 27 MILLION CAME IN. THAT WAS
00:13:31FROM STORMS YOU GUYS HAD OVER THE SCREEN. UM, AND SO WE'RE
00:13:35CATCHING ALL THAT UP, DOING THE BEST WE CAN. BUT HONESTLY, THAT'S ONCE AGAIN, GOES DOWN TO
00:13:39HAVING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH
00:13:41LOCAL AND FEDERAL AND, AND YOUR, IN YOUR FEDERAL OFFICIALS TOO.
00:13:45YES. >> I'M SORRY. IT'S HARD TO HEAR.
00:13:49>> 120 MILLION. >> 120 MILLION TOTAL FOR THE
00:13:53PAST. >> SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
00:13:54COME IN TO COME INTO OFFICE.
00:14:00>> SECRETARY. JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE COULDN'T QUITE HEAR WHAT BRENT CRUDE SORRY. CAN
00:14:03YOU SUMMARIZE FOR US A LITTLE
00:14:05BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU HEARD
00:14:10>> THANK YOU. SO WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE DO IS WHEN WE COME TO
00:14:13THESE MEETINGS LIKE, THIS IS ONE WE WANT TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM
00:14:17THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. AND
00:14:17THEN WHAT CAN WE DO BETTER? UM,
00:14:21THERE'S SO MUCH RED TAPE, SO
00:14:23MUCH BUREAUCRACY AND GOVERNMENT. UM, MUCH AT THE LOCAL LEVEL,
00:14:26THERE IS AT THE STATE LEVEL THERE IS. BUT BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,
00:14:29IT IS JUST LAYERS UPON LAYERS UPON LAYERS. AND OUR FOCUS IS,
00:14:33IS HOW CAN WE GET THE DOLLAR
00:14:35CLOSEST TO THE RECOVERY AND GET
00:14:37IT THERE FASTER? WE KNOW ANYTIME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
00:14:41INVOLVED IN SOMETHING, IT'S
00:14:45ALMOST GUARANTEED TO BE TWICE AS MUCH. IF WE CAN GET THAT DOLLAR TO THE, TO, TO LOCAL
00:14:49GOVERNMENTS, ALLOWED THEM TO SPEND AND ALLOWED THEM TO
00:14:51CONTRACT IT. UM, IT'S, IT, IT'LL GO FARTHER AND BE MORE
00:14:55EFFICIENT. AND, AND, UH, AND IT'LL, IT'LL BE ABLE TO, TO BE
00:14:58THERE WHEN IT, WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BY THE TIME THEY FILL OUT ALL
00:15:02THE PAPERWORK FOR, FOR FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT ON THE BACK SIDE,
00:15:05THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS NOW, IT
00:15:07IS, IT CAN TAKE, IT CAN TAKE
00:15:11YEARS. UH, WE HAVE SOME STUFF THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON.
00:15:14YEAH. HURRICANE SANDY, FOR INSTANCE. YES. WE HAVE SOME STUFF WE'RE STILL WORKING ON
00:15:17BACK THERE, WHICH THAT SHOULD NEVER BE THAT WAY. IT SHOULD
00:15:20NEVER BE THAT WAY. THE RECOVERY, THE DOLLAR SHOULD FLOW AS
00:15:23RECOVERY IS TAKING PLACE. AND SO
00:15:25WE'VE GOT TO RETHINK THE WAY WE
00:15:27DO THIS RIGHT NOW. FEMA HAS
00:15:30BECOME, UM, THIS, THIS, THIS CATCH ALL. AND ALMOST TO THE
00:15:34POINT WHERE SOME STATES, NOT NEBRASKA. NEBRASKA STILL
00:15:37BELIEVES IN THE WAY THAT OKLAHOMA, UH, BELIEVE IS NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS. WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE AND
00:15:41WE'RE GOING TO RECOVER REGARDLESS IF IT HAPPENS OR NOT. BUT YOU HAVE OTHER STATES THAT
00:15:44JUST SIT THERE AND WAIT UNTIL, UNTIL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
00:15:48COMES IN. FEMA WAS NEVER
00:15:50DESIGNED TO BE THE FIRST
00:15:52RESPONDER. IT WAS THERE TO TO BE
00:15:55THERE. AND YOUR WORST DAY TO
00:15:56HELP THE STATE, TO HELP THE
00:15:59LOCAL GOVERNMENT RECOVER, NOT
00:16:01TAKE OVER AND TAKE CHARGE OF THE SITUATION. IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO
00:16:04BE BETTER FROM THAT POINT. SO WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS, WE WANT
00:16:07TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WANTING TO
00:16:11REFORM GOVERNMENT. WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT. AND THE WAY WE GET IT RIGHT IS WE COME IN HERE AND
00:16:14WE TALK TO THE CHIEF, WE TALK TO, UH, TO THE EMERGENCY
00:16:18RECOVERY MANAGEMENT TEAM. AND WE TALKED TO, TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES
00:16:22AND GET THE FEEDBACK RIGHT. >> THANK YOU.
00:16:25>> THANK YOU GUYS. APPRECIATE IT >> THANK YOU GUYS.
00:16:28>> AND I WANT TO SEE RICKETTS
00:16:30COME DOWN. UPSIDE DOWN. THAT'S
00:16:33MY ONLY THAT'S MY ONLY REQUEST.
00:16:39>> THINK THEY'RE PREPARED
00:16:43>> WE WILL. YES. WOULD
