Joining me now representative ░░░░░░░░ Gutierrez He s giving ░░░░░░░░ his seat in Congress ░░░░░░░░ year move to the ░░░░░░░░ next year to help ░░░░░░░░ the recovery efforts Your ░░░░░░░░ to what the president ░░░░░░░░ to say about Puerto ░░░░░░░░ today It might be ░░░░░░░░ I m sure that ░░░░░░░░ are others that will ░░░░░░░░ One of his just ░░░░░░░░ fabrications and lies How ░░░░░░░░ you celebrate and declare ░░░░░░░░ success when officially now ░░░░░░░░ deaths are over 3 ░░░░░░░░ And you know Chris ░░░░░░░░ s the latest study ░░░░░░░░ accepted by the government ░░░░░░░░ Puerto RICO that never ░░░░░░░░ to change the numbers ░░░░░░░░ was complicit with this ░░░░░░░░ in trying to hide ░░░░░░░░ real calamity and deaths ░░░░░░░░ the lack of action ░░░░░░░░ the American government But ░░░░░░░░ me say this The ░░░░░░░░ study said it was ░░░░░░░░ 4 000 And Chris ░░░░░░░░ was there within 10 ░░░░░░░░ I was there within ░░░░░░░░ days not because the ░░░░░░░░ allowed me to go ░░░░░░░░ it because Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ everything he could to ░░░░░░░░ any oversight over the ░░░░░░░░ of the American government ░░░░░░░░ what it was doing ░░░░░░░░ facilitate I think the ░░░░░░░░ of San Juan was ░░░░░░░░ correct you let people ░░░░░░░░ And you know if ░░░░░░░░ think a success is ░░░░░░░░ the deaths of people ░░░░░░░░ your hands let me ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ to put it into ░░░░░░░░ Chris He said two ░░░░░░░░ He said well you ░░░░░░░░ the people of Puerto ░░░░░░░░ would be better off ░░░░░░░░ they want us to ░░░░░░░░ everything for them So ░░░░░░░░ called us lazy And ░░░░░░░░ he said wow you ░░░░░░░░ busting my budget He ░░░░░░░░ us worthless or not ░░░░░░░░ sufficient government This is ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ with a catastrophic situation ░░░░░░░░ Puerto RICO unprecedented in ░░░░░░░░ RICO with thousands of ░░░░░░░░ dying and saying how ░░░░░░░░ and how lazy we ░░░░░░░░ The only one who ░░░░░░░░ lazy was you Mr ░░░░░░░░ You were lazy and ░░░░░░░░ weren t on duty ░░░░░░░░ people died because of ░░░░░░░░ You know what I ░░░░░░░░ thinking about as we ░░░░░░░░ at hurricane Florence as ░░░░░░░░ comes towards the Carolina ░░░░░░░░ at a category four ░░░░░░░░ very dire warnings about ░░░░░░░░ it could bring there ░░░░░░░░ still as far as ░░░░░░░░ can tell be no ░░░░░░░░ thorough or systematic after ░░░░░░░░ report about how it ░░░░░░░░ the American government allowed ░░░░░░░░ 000 Americans to die ░░░░░░░░ an American territory and ░░░░░░░░ seems relevant to whatever ░░░░░░░░ preparedness happens in the ░░░░░░░░ 50 states Yeah Well ░░░░░░░░ bragged today Chris about ░░░░░░░░ ready he was And ░░░░░░░░ kept telling us how ░░░░░░░░ the storm was Because ░░░░░░░░ know he likes using ░░░░░░░░ syllable words like big ░░░░░░░░ huge and great And ░░░░░░░░ used them all to ░░░░░░░░ the oncoming hurricane instead ░░░░░░░░ reassuring the American public ░░░░░░░░ what was there to ░░░░░░░░ sure that they could ░░░░░░░░ kept safe Everything is ░░░░░░░░ and big And of ░░░░░░░░ you want to know ░░░░░░░░ I fear It s ░░░░░░░░ calamity Because of the ░░░░░░░░ of coordination of the ░░░░░░░░ with the National Guard ░░░░░░░░ with local government the ░░░░░░░░ of responsiveness and preparedness ░░░░░░░░ this government because the ░░░░░░░░ he wants to find ░░░░░░░░ who is the one ░░░░░░░░ wrote that op ed ░░░░░░░░ about the chaos in ░░░░░░░░ White House because he ░░░░░░░░ the Justice Department He ░░░░░░░░ so consumed by the ░░░░░░░░ that exists and the ░░░░░░░░ that exists that he ░░░░░░░░ not really prepared and ░░░░░░░░ Because he spends every ░░░░░░░░ golfing instead of preparing ░░░░░░░░ know 15 of the ░░░░░░░░ managers at FEMA are ░░░░░░░░ They re not even ░░░░░░░░ their permanent positions They ░░░░░░░░ t even taken time ░░░░░░░░ give them their jobs ░░░░░░░░ me just say this ░░░░░░░░ because I think it ░░░░░░░░ important Chris As we ░░░░░░░░ at crises like this ░░░░░░░░ it s the Muslim ░░░░░░░░ the transgender community being ░░░░░░░░ from the military any ░░░░░░░░ these terrible hateful things ░░░░░░░░ president does let me ░░░░░░░░ this on behalf of ░░░░░░░░ people of Puerto RICO ░░░░░░░░ thankful they are to ░░░░░░░░ American people and to ░░░░░░░░ American public that has ░░░░░░░░ in tens of millions ░░░░░░░░ dollars in real resources ░░░░░░░░ made a difference And ░░░░░░░░ stopped deaths from occurring ░░░░░░░░ want to congratulate the ░░░░░░░░ people and that resistance ░░░░░░░░ exists on so many ░░░░░░░░ A final thought about ░░░░░░░░ if Democrats were to ░░░░░░░░ the house this fall ░░░░░░░░ you think it would ░░░░░░░░ on the agenda to ░░░░░░░░ do some oversight over ░░░░░░░░ response in Puerto RICO ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ of our most important ░░░░░░░░
