Your policies have made the department slower. I didn't think it was possible to make FEMA more bureaucratic, but, boy, you have exceeded all my expectations. In the Texas floods, you didn't put the urban search and rescue crews on the road for 72 hours. Days later, the FEMA urban search and rescue chief resigned in protest. You hired two people as the administrator with no FEMA experience. We're on our third FEMA administrator in 14 months. (02:52–02:58)
