  1. Maui / Lahaina fire victims needed communication from government giving them warning.
    Will government employees who failed to warn the public be arrested and charged?
    If this was a private business negligence, indictments would already be issued

  2. I heard there are military bases near Maui, so why was there not military there immediately to help during fires…

  3. This dude is reading a script pay attention

  4. fema is a lie they are going to buy out every maui person they can the gov. is evil dont sell your land

  5. its as useful as the bib le or the homes that were burned. used as his likeness.

  6. Remember the supplies sent to Puerto Rico for hurricane victims that never got distributed. Or the thousands of mobile homes for the Louisiana flood victims that sat on a field in the Midwest. Or the months that went buy in Flint Michigan where residents had no drinking water. FEMA has problems.

  7. Something is not right. Residents are saying that hundreds, even thousands have died. The US Gov is not allowing any charities or charity workers in. This makes no sense.

  8. Ask Biden. He loves giving away money to people in need. Just say your Ukrainian.

  9. How are they going to communicate when everything was destroyed? JC dud, use your head for somethingother than wear a baseball had backwards.

  10. Oprah Biden give money πŸ’°πŸ€‘πŸ’° insurance company doin Biden white people media utube 😁

  11. What the heck is wrong with FEMA!?!?!?

    Katrina failure all over again?

    Sounds like it.

  12. From this fire coverage i thought a huge area of maui was burned. I looked on a map. A very tiny portion of the island burned.

    Complaining about communication from the government?
    Well,now you citizens understand how difficult it is for veterans at the VA.

  13. Don't forget to vote blue, illegal Invaders get more help than Americans

  14. If some real estate company wants to buy your toxic land, go ahead and sell it because it’s worthless.

  15. After we take care of those suffering in Ukraine and those guests coming in from South America we have those needs all taken care maybe they'll find a little time for those whining in Hawaii. trust me they care, they really care

  16. No faith in FEMA, they delivered trailers emitting formaldehyde to People needing housing after Katrina, gave weak & ineffective response in Puerto Rico ~ now this! #ActionsSpeak 🀬

  17. I was a Katrina survivor myself: if you think FEMA is going to save you, don't hold your breath ~ you are ON YOUR OWN
    – our GOV is a complete failure

  18. Another Biden failure. Sad.

  19. FIMA Never does enough You can ask the people of Puerto Rico

  20. Can we start blaming Climate Change for the arsonists who started the fire yet? Asking for a fearful lunatic friend.
