“Kristi Noem herself, through her own quote unquote financial protection policies, delayed search and rescue from that flood by 72 hours. You shouldn't have to think seven seconds before sending search and rescue in a flood like that. Kristi Noem had policies that are, as far as I can tell, still in effect holding up $17 billion in disaster assistance to communities, Republican and Democratic. Money that already got approved by Congress, already got approved by the career experts. But she's holding back for what? Because she wants to run TV ads for herself and buy another private jet.” (00:54–01:06)
