CBS News: Pres. Biden Meets with Local Officials on CA Wildfires

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "They had flood stages that were up 20 feet, people dying in basements because they’ve overflown and they had tornadoes, they headed to the basement, and how many people got killed because they couldn’t get out?

We have a chance to build back in a way that not only gets us back to where we were yesterday, but gets us to a place where we are going to be able to sustain that, sustain that position.”
