Glenn Beck is on the ground in North Carolina, calling out what he describes as the Biden-Harris administration’s “stunning” failures in rescue efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. In phone interviews with Blaze TV, Beck detailed his encounters with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials, who he said have been nothing short of a disappointment.
“I’ve seen one FEMA truck,” Beck noted, over a week after the hurricane struck. “They’ve got a communications truck with a big satellite so they can talk to people on TV. But where’s the action?” Beck’s frustration was palpable as he described stumbling upon a FEMA team tucked away on a roadside, seemingly out of touch with the actual disaster zones. “They were all sitting at a card table with one computer, getting people signed up for government aid. It’s absolutely ridiculous,” he fumed, highlighting the ineffectiveness of their response.
Instead of federal assistance, Beck praised everyday Americans stepping up to fill the gap. “It’s all being done by special forces, local businesses like the Harley-Davidson dealer, and just regular people helping each other out,” he said, pointing to the stark contrast between grassroots efforts and the bureaucratic inefficiency of FEMA.
Beck’s report comes amid a growing wave of criticism against FEMA and the Biden administration. He teased more revelations about FEMA’s behavior, such as confiscating food from individuals and attempting to shut down a makeshift helicopter field because independent pilots weren’t FAA-approved. These details align with earlier reports of Americans being threatened with arrest for stepping in where FEMA was failing.
One such case is South Carolina helicopter pilot Jordan Seidhom, who was ordered to stop running rescue missions. Despite successfully rescuing survivors, Seidhom was told by a local official to leave behind his own son and another victim on the mountain because he lacked official approval. Similar incidents have been reported in Asheville, North Carolina, where residents attempting to return home were threatened with arrest by local police.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden finally made their way to Georgia, but the damage—both politically and physically—had already been done. Governor Brian Kemp slammed the administration’s slow response, stating he had to call the White House himself after only 11 of Georgia’s 90 counties were designated as disaster zones. “You’re sending the signal that you’re not paying attention,” Kemp said, voicing the frustration of countless Americans who have been left behind during one of the worst hurricane disasters in a decade.
