Emergency management policy expert shines light on the Helene problem NO ONE is talking about



These days, the well-being of Americans seems to be at the bottom of our government’s priority list. Foreign wars and the millions of illegal immigrants who have invaded our country suck up U.S. dollars by the billions, leaving needy Americans in a state of hopelessness.

The most recent example of this includes the victims of Hurricane Helene. FEMA claims it’s out of funds. It showed up a week after the storm ravaged the coastline. Then, it offered a pitiful $750 to families who had lost everything despite giving far more than that to illegal immigrants. There’s even reports of FEMA actively thwarting the private sector’s efforts to fill the gap.

What gives? Why does it seem like the plight of Americans is met with hostility from emergency services?

Amy LePore, a policy expert on the increased federalization of emergency management in the U.S., recently spoke with Matt Kibbe about this issue. Her take is that the public is misled in thinking that the federal government is prepared to respond when disaster strikes.

While there are many reasons for this, there’s one in particular Amy says is especially problematic: States aren’t passing the Defend the Guard Act.

“There are resources stationed in many states, which have the training and capacity to respond to disaster, and half the time, they’re deployed to the Middle East,” she told Kibbe and pointed to the Tennessee legislature that did not pass the Defend the Guard Act, which would prohibit the deployment of the National Guard overseas unless Congress has formally declared war.

One day before Helene hit, Tennessee’s National Guard was deployed to Kuwait and was therefore unable to assist the hurricane victims.

“The Defend the Guard bill has been in 30 legislatures and has passed in three states but in three chambers only,” Amy explains, adding that what we really need “is a brave state.”

“I think all it is going to take is one state (maybe that state will be Tennessee) who takes this seriously, who can get it passed in both chambers. And I think there will be a domino effect in other brave states,” she says.

To hear more about the Defend the Guard bill and the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to bring our troops home so that they are positioned to support Americans, watch the clip above.

Kibbe: Tim Walz's COVID authoritarianism killed George Floyd



Matt Kibbe and his wife had lived safely and peacefully on Capitol Hill for over 20 years when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Then everything changed.

Upon the numerous declarations of mayors and governors ordering civilians to quarantine themselves at home, Kibbe “headed straight out to buy thick plywood to board [his] windows and new security bars to reinforce [his] doors.”

Obviously such “draconian precautions” would do nothing to keep the virus out, so what was he so afraid of?

“Riots, looting, and violence,” he says, which indeed ravaged the country during the early stages of the pandemic.

“George Floyd lost his job at Conga Latin Bistro when Governor Tim Walz locked down the Minnesota economy, prohibiting bars and restaurants from serving customers.”

Just a few weeks later, Floyd was killed, and the chaos that would torch cities across the nation began.

“Unchecked power can take away your livelihood. Unchecked power can kill,” Kibbe says, making the point that George Floyd’s blood isn’t just on the hands of a cop but also on those of Tim Walz whose shutting down of the economy laid the groundwork for Floyd’s death.

It’s been four years, and the government has yet to answer for the egregious crimes it committed in the name of COVID-19. But stagnating the economy is just one of the atrocities it must answer for. There are also the matters of unconstitutional censorship, vaccine coercion, mask mandates, and gain-of-function research that demand answers.

Kibbe has been on a mission since the outbreak to expose COVID lies and solve its long list of mysteries. In his docuseries “The Coverup,” he takes you along with him as he meets with some of the true experts who were silenced during the pandemic for their refusal to comply with the approved narrative — people like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and an author of the Great Barrington Declaration. He also meets with Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the only senator who’s remained relentless in his pursuit of answers — especially when it comes to COVID’s number-one wolf in sheep’s clothing: Anthony Fauci.

RAND PAUL: If you want people to get vaccinated, try honesty



In this clip, "Kibbe on Liberty" host Matt Kibbe sat down with Sen. Rand Paul and discussed a different approach that might actually result in more at-risk people getting vaccinated. According to Rand, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser, has been tactical in his dishonest narrative about natural immunity in an effort to get more people vaccinated.

Rand said that Fauci is sharing a noble lie about natural immunity because he is afraid it might deter people. But Rand explained he believes the opposite might be true and he suggested that it's actually the continual stream of lies that has led so many people not to trust the government. He went on to say that a better way to persuade people to get the shot would be to treat them with honesty.

Kibbe added that people are self-interested, and if they are shown show that the vaccination will help them, they will do it as long as they don't feel they are being forced or lied to.
