FEMA Ordered NOT To Help Trump Supporters After Hurricane Milton w/Matt Walsh
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and his co-hosts discussed a shocking Daily Wire exclusive report revealing that a FEMA official ordered relief workers to bypass homes displaying Trump signs during Hurricane Milton damage assessments in Lake Placid, Florida. The internal correspondence showed that supervisor Marnie Washington instructed workers to avoid homes advertising Trump support, resulting in approximately 20 homes being skipped from federal aid qualification between late October and early November. Matt Walsh joined the discussion to analyze the implications of this apparent government bias and the need for accountability. The panel also touched on Special Counsel Jack Smith's decision to drop charges and the requirement to preserve records. Throughout the episode, co-hosts Seamus Coghlan, Elad Eliyahu, and Phil Labonte contributed commentary on the story and its broader political significance. The conversation emphasized that taxpayer-funded disaster relief should not be influenced by political affiliation, and called for investigation into how such directives were issued at the federal level.

This is taxpayer dollars and Hurricane Milton relief for people in a largely Republican area, largely Trump supporting area. We're not getting the aid they need because officials said do not help Trump supporters.”
