The following is a transcript of my opening monologue tonight on Newsmax. Click here to get my free daily newsletter.
Your life is worth about $750 – that’s according to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The vice president announcing a one-time check for people devastated by Hurricane Helene. Their homes have been washed away. Road and bridges gone. Bodies buried in mud – stuck in trees. Children found wandering in the ruins of towns without any clothes. It is a modern-day apocalypse. The death toll stands at more than 200 and I’m being told by my law enforcement sources in North Carolina – the final number is going to be stagger.
And the only thing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can offer the survivors is $750. Not even a thought or a prayer.
Be enraged, America. Be righteously enraged. Nearly one week later and the federal disaster response has been nothing short of treasonous.
Country music star John Rich writing on X:
“Just spoke to a friend of mine in law enforcement in NC…he said that they have, and I quote: “Already used over 500 body bags, and there are bodies in trees, mud, cars, houses, everywhere…No Fed support whatsoever.”
Congressman Cory Mills – the Republican from Florida – has been leading a massive civilian relief effort. He says the response from the federal government has been irresponsible and inept.
Just a few days ago President Biden told reporters there was nothing more he could do for the people in the southeastern states. And now we know why.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejhandro Mayorkas says FEMA is broke – they’ve got no money to care for hurricane victims or any other storm victims.
Americans are on their own.
And why is that? Well, it turns out that the money meant for FEMA’s emergency food and shelter program has been siphoned off – hundreds of millions of dollars. And it’s been given to illegal aliens. Your tax dollars are basically funding an illegal immigration resettlement program.
More than $1 billion dollars given to take care of the illegals – only $750 for American citizens.
Illegals First. American taxpayers last. Are you outraged, America?
$175 billion dollars for Ukraine – so far. Only $750 for American citizens.
Are you outraged, America?
Hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Israel and Taiwan. But only $750 for American citizens.
I ask you again – are you outraged, America?
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is enraged because President Biden failed to include many rural counties in his disaster declaration.
That’s because they don’t care about you – they don’t care about the gun-toting, Bible-clinging deplorables.
American patriots – many of them Newsmax viewers – have seen what’s going on – and they have jumped into action – organizing convoys. Private helicopter pilots, drone operators, construction workers. Military veterans. Truckers. Every day Americans.
Groups like Samaritan’s Purse and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Disaster Relief agencies are on the ground – Good Samaritans all.
But now comes word that government agents are stepping in and hijacking convoys of food. They’re confiscating food and clothing from churches. I have not been able to independently verify this information, but sources I trust confirm that there have been such instances. A South Carolina helicopter pilot was threatened with jail if he rescued any more survivors.
My friend Glenn Beck is in Asheville today delivering much-needed resources. He says there are reports of gangs and looting. Convoys are being targeted – and I can confirm that warnings have gone out along a long stretch of Interstate 40 – warning truckers that someone is slashing tires at gas stations.
Hear me on this – the federal government has no right to stop you from helping your neighbors.
Now, let me be very clear about something. The government is not just playing with fire. They are pouring gasoline on a powder keg. President Trump called on Washington to set aside politics. And he’s absolutely right. The American people have been trod upon for far too long. And we will not allow Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Alejandro Mayorkas to stop us from saving our fellow countrymen.
Treasonous.
Tonight, I ask you to do two things. First, I want you to pray. Pray for the survivors. Pray especially for the children. And the first responders. They have seen things that no human should have to see. Pray for the victims. Pray that God might work a miracle and lives might be spared.
Second, I want you to organize relief efforts. Volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse. Organize with your local church. If you own a business – consider putting together some resources – send help to the stricken area. I’m doing that with the radio station I own in Memphis, Tennessee. Stay away from FEMA or any other government agencies. Stay away from the woke Red Cross.
Finally – elections have consequences. Our nation has been invaded. And our government is now using our tax money to care for the invaders. America Last. They care more about Ukranians than East Tennesseans.
We can remedy all of this on Election Day. Every Democrat in office – from the White House to dogcatcher – should be voted out of office.
In the meantime, I have a pointed message for Joe and Kamala and Alejandro — either unleash the full force of the federal disaster relief program on the Southern states – or get the heck out of our way.
