Biden Uses Tornado Tragedy to Push Climate Agenda, Suggests Storms Are ‘Consequence of the Warming’

Biden on Saturday All ░░░░░░░░ I know is that ░░░░░░░░ intensity of the weather ░░░░░░░░ the board has some ░░░░░░░░ as a consequence of ░░░░░░░░ warming of the planet ░░░░░░░░ the climate change the ░░░░░░░░ impact on these specific ░░░░░░░░ I can t say ░░░░░░░░ this point I m ░░░░░░░░ to be asking the ░░░░░░░░ and others to take ░░░░░░░░ look at that but ░░░░░░░░ fact is that we ░░░░░░░░ know everything is more ░░░░░░░░ when the climate is ░░░░░░░░ everything and obviously it ░░░░░░░░ some impact here but ░░░░░░░░ can t give you ░░░░░░░░ quantitative read on that ░░░░░░░░ president do you have ░░░░░░░░ plans to visit any ░░░░░░░░ the affected areas yes ░░░░░░░░ do I I spoke ░░░░░░░░ I started off this ░░░░░░░░ with the governor of ░░░░░░░░ and offered to I ░░░░░░░░ I ll be happy ░░░░░░░░ come but I don ░░░░░░░░ want to be in ░░░░░░░░ way when a president ░░░░░░░░ up he shows up ░░░░░░░░ an awful lot of ░░░░░░░░ an awful lot of ░░░░░░░░ an awful lot of ░░░░░░░░ we can we can ░░░░░░░░ in the way unintentionally ░░░░░░░░ so what I m ░░░░░░░░ with the governor of ░░░░░░░░ and others who may ░░░░░░░░ me to be there ░░░░░░░░ I may make sure ░░░░░░░░ we are value added ░░░░░░░░ the time and we ░░░░░░░░ not going to get ░░░░░░░░ the way of the ░░░░░░░░ and recovery but I ░░░░░░░░ I do plan on ░░░░░░░░ disaster relief well we ░░░░░░░░ see whatever is needed ░░░░░░░░ m going to ask ░░░░░░░░ if we don t ░░░░░░░░ have the wherewithal to ░░░░░░░░ care of it I ░░░░░░░░ going to ask for ░░░░░░░░ this is United States ░░░░░░░░ America our citizens are ░░░░░░░░ badly hurt and they ░░░░░░░░ scared to death right ░░░░░░░░ in terms of all ░░░░░░░░ folks who they can ░░░░░░░░ figure where they are ░░░░░░░░ s my son where ░░░░░░░░ my daughter my husband ░░░░░░░░ wife my mom my ░░░░░░░░ it s devastating yes ░░░░░░░░ the question sir is ░░░░░░░░ a role for the ░░░░░░░░ government coordinating direct on ░░░░░░░░ ground National Guard or ░░░░░░░░ troops the answer is ░░░░░░░░ if in fact the ░░░░░░░░ conclude they need it ░░░░░░░░ so The National Guard ░░░░░░░░ been called out in ░░░░░░░░ state and but whatever ░░░░░░░░ needed it s within ░░░░░░░░ authority of the present ░░░░░░░░ States and the federal ░░░░░░░░ to provide that help ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ whatever is needed I ░░░░░░░░ we ve demonstrated since ░░░░░░░░ ve been elected that ░░░░░░░░ major national disaster we ░░░░░░░░ been there early often ░░░░░░░░ stayed till we got ░░░░░░░░ finished and that s ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ here but again I ░░░░░░░░ what I ve found ░░░░░░░░ I ve visited these ░░░░░░░░ areas and other circumstances ░░░░░░░░ it was the hurricane ░░░░░░░░ Louisiana or the gigantic ░░░░░░░░ in the northeast or ░░░░░░░░ wildfires in the west ░░░░░░░░ the real anxiety right ░░░░░░░░ is all those poor ░░░░░░░░ were wondering where is ░░░░░░░░ loved one where are ░░░░░░░░ are they going to ░░░░░░░░ okay and I don ░░░░░░░░ think it s I ░░░░░░░░ t think it s ░░░░░░░░ to exaggerate the extent ░░░░░░░░ the fear and the ░░░░░░░░ and we have a ░░░░░░░░ of people that are ░░░░░░░░ in doing rescue running ░░░░░░░░ bulldozers forklifts and the ░░░░░░░░ and and the way ░░░░░░░░ which I ve watched ░░░░░░░░ down in when when ░░░░░░░░ building collapsed in Florida ░░░░░░░░ watched how how how ░░░░░░░░ takes a price on ░░░░░░░░ toll on them god ░░░░░░░░ I gonna am I ░░░░░░░░ lift something that s ░░░░░░░░ move something it s ░░░░░░░░ affect something and so ░░░░░░░░ s what I just ░░░░░░░░ heart aches for those ░░░░░░░░ right now including the ░░░░░░░░ including the burden on ░░░░░░░░ and what they worry ░░░░░░░░ that s what they ░░░░░░░░ to me about in ░░░░░░░░ that s what they ░░░░░░░░ about afterwards and so ░░░░░░░░ I just think that ░░░░░░░░ just have to keep ░░░░░░░░ it we have to ░░░░░░░░ focused and this is ░░░░░░░░ to be the you ░░░░░░░░ the focus of my ░░░░░░░░ until we get this ░░░░░░░░ all about how finished ░░░░░░░░ be better prepared for ░░░░░░░░ disasters in the future ░░░░░░░░ quite frankly I think ░░░░░░░░ re as prepared as ░░░░░░░░ government has ever been ░░░░░░░░ dealing with the disasters ░░░░░░░░ the question is one ░░░░░░░░ the questions is going ░░░░░░░░ be raised I m ░░░░░░░░ is what warning was ░░░░░░░░ and was it strong ░░░░░░░░ and was it heeded ░░░░░░░░ s a question that ░░░░░░░░ going to I assume ░░░░░░░░ going to come be ░░░░░░░░ of the discussion in ░░░░░░░░ states as well as ░░░░░░░░ as nationally because look ░░░░░░░░ usual you ask always ░░░░░░░░ uh the best question ░░░░░░░░ you asked me about ░░░░░░░░ or not uh um ░░░░░░░░ were going to be ░░░░░░░░ to what we re ░░░░░░░░ to do about how ░░░░░░░░ re going to handle ░░░░░░░░ and part of it ░░░░░░░░ acknowledging that the likelihood ░░░░░░░░ fewer weather catastrophes absent ░░░░░░░░ continued movement on dealing ░░░░░░░░ global warming it s ░░░░░░░░ not going to happen ░░░░░░░░ going to happen like ░░░░░░░░ said we didn t ░░░░░░░░ and I think the ░░░░░░░░ example for me has ░░░░░░░░ what struck me the ░░░░░░░░ we always had wildfires ░░░░░░░░ who in god s ░░░░░░░░ thought we d see ░░░░░░░░ counter year more territory ░░░░░░░░ to the ground every ░░░░░░░░ every home every road ░░░░░░░░ than the state of ░░░░░░░░ Jersey from hudson river ░░░░░░░░ to cape may so ░░░░░░░░ have to act but ░░░░░░░░ first and urgent piece ░░░░░░░░ is we have to ░░░░░░░░ anyone who s still ░░░░░░░░ we have to care ░░░░░░░░ them if we can ░░░░░░░░ them to hospitals and ░░░░░░░░ have to take care ░░░░░░░░ all those families the ░░░░░░░░ mean look I know ░░░░░░░░ all you re all ░░░░░░░░ uh asking the questions ░░░░░░░░ imagine if your home ░░░░░░░░ in the past what ░░░░░░░░ you go home to ░░░░░░░░ do you worry about ░░░░░░░░ mean everything s gone ░░░░░░░░ that from that uh ░░░░░░░░ baptismal photograph to the ░░░░░░░░ picture to the picture ░░░░░░░░ your oldest daughter in ░░░░░░░░ ballet I mean it ░░░░░░░░ it s it s ░░░░░░░░ it s just profound ░░░░░░░░ it s uh but ░░░░░░░░ promise you whatever is ░░░░░░░░ whatever is needed the ░░░░░░░░ government is going to ░░░░░░░░ a way to supply ░░░░░░░░ thank you all so ░░░░░░░░ very much there never ░░░░░░░░ on the table and ░░░░░░░░ you ready to send ░░░░░░░░ troops into war and ░░░░░░░░ into Ukraine to fight ░░░░░░░░ on their battlefield look ░░░░░░░░ s the deal I ░░░░░░░░ made it absolutely clear ░░░░░░░░ president Putin that s ░░░░░░░░ last thing I ll ░░░░░░░░ that if he moves ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine the economic consequences ░░░░░░░░ his economy are going ░░░░░░░░ be devastating devastating number ░░░░░░░░ number two we will ░░░░░░░░ find it required that ░░░░░░░░ ll have to send ░░░░░░░░ American and NATO troops ░░░░░░░░ the eastern flank the ░░░░░░░░ all those NATO countries ░░░░░░░░ we have a sacred ░░░░░░░░ to defend them against ░░░░░░░░ attack by Russia and ░░░░░░░░ three the impact of ░░░░░░░░ of that on Russia ░░░░░░░░ its attitude the rest ░░░░░░░░ the world s view ░░░░░░░░ Russia would change markedly ░░░░░░░░ ll pay a terrible ░░░░░░░░ and so it s ░░░░░░░░ and we are going ░░░░░░░░ continue to provide for ░░░░░░░░ we have and continue ░░░░░░░░ provide for the defense ░░░░░░░░ for the Ukrainian people ░░░░░░░░ you so much [Music]
