The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been predominantly in the news for many months. Most recently as both President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security have made remarks that FEMA should be abolished. More recently a 20-person council has been established to examine how best the federal response and recovery efforts to disasters should be accomplished. This then is the topic for this podcast.Craig Fugate the podcast guest served as President Barack Obama's FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017. Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush's Emergency Management Director from 2001-2007 and Governor Charlie Crist from 2007-09.Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government's response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding.FEMA's effectiveness in dealing with more than 500 Presidentially declared major disasters and emergencies under Fugate's leadership restored the faith of the American people in the Federal Government's ability to respond to disasters.Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma).

Today's show is broken into mostly two parts, though I do hit a little on the goddess of strife and discord at the end. First, we have to look at the government enhanced disaster with the wildfire on Maui before diving into more of our broken and weaponized Department of Justice. When it comes to natural disasters, not all are created equal. In fact, when looking back at the worst of them, they have something in common. Human choices, land management, government policies and woke ideology play a huge role in just how much a natural disaster is magnified. In Hawaii, we learned Maui's Emergency Management Director had zero qualification. He didn't even know how his own Emergency Alert System was designed to operate. Add to that a Deputy Water Management Director who thinks of water as more sacred than people and looks for its equitable distribution. Already, you can see how a small disaster can spin out of control with incompetent people in positions of authority. The government owns the electric company, they own the land where the electrical infrastructure was run and they were made aware of the fire dangers multiple times over the last decade. They received billions of tax-payer dollars for infrastructure upgrades, but chose to build a solar panel farm instead, because of their blind faith in man-made climate change. Rather than heeding the warnings and using their funds to strengthen the existing infrastructure, they left the old, decrepit polls to fall in 60-70 mile an hour winds. The electrical sparks set of the initial blaze. Those lines stayed live for too long. By the time they were shut off, firefighters realized there was no pressure in the lines. The pumps were electrical and were turned off when they shut off power. Every step along the way, government enhanced the disaster, making it worse, not only in terms of property, but also in the sheer number of lost lives. This disaster lies squarely at the feet of Big Government, not climate change. We then move to new information about just how big of a sweetheart deal the US Attorneys were cutting for Hunter Biden. It seems Hunter was not even going to have to enter a guilty plea. It was going to be a complete exoneration. What's worse is learning just how far up the chain of the DOJ this dishonesty went. At this point, the House has no choice but to get an impeachment inquiry underway for Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, David Weiss and eventually Joe Biden. The Left is planning to move as quickly as they can to do as much damage as possible beforehand. As attorney Philip Holloway penned over the weekend, “We are criminalizing political speech. We are criminalizing the pursuit of legal strategies that fail. We are criminalizing appeals to government officials for redress of grievances." This is consistent with what I've been telling you last week. The Left is ignoring the First Amendment and if they get away with it on Donald Trump, they will have successfully destroyed it when they come after us. Finally, we are getting rumor that the Biden regime and public health are planning to bring back Covid lock downs and masks. They are calling the newest variant Eris, which is literally the Greek goddess of strife and discord. It's a suitable name, given the Left is losing their control and they need to re-institute fear to regain power over the people. Don't let them!

Part 2 of my extremely enjoyable and educational discussion with Jeff Jelinek.  Jeff and I have "known of" each other via an organizations and friends that are near and dear to my heart.  Everytime his name would come up people would speak VERY highly of him and his competence.  So much so that i thought to myself "I wonder if he'd come and join me on this podcast".  Well, lo and behold, he agreed to do so in a heartbeat!  To meet Jeff in person though is to meet someone seasoned by trials and ready for whatever the future may hold.  As Mark Twain once wrote "the weakest of all weak things is a virtue that has not been tested by fire".  Jeff's virtues HAVE been tested, and they have come out on top.  What is most amazing to me is that Jeff Jelinek, who you met in last week's podcasts, works in a field which is fraught with stress and yet he is one of the funnest people to talk with that I have ever met.  He is a zen master in emergency management both personally and professionally.  He prepares for emergencies and disasters and yet instead of being a nervous wreck (like I would be) he is straightforward and calm.  Things that most of us want to pretend will never happen to us are part of Jeff's daily life and thinking almost continuously.  In Jeff life, everytime there's a storm he's got to be on alert.  Oh joy, oh rapture, oh bliss.  But trust me, he's the type of guy you want at the helm when a mother nature or any other life threatening event occurs.  Jeff Jelinek has been the Emergency Management Director for Sauk County for the past 16 years. His responsibility is to prepare Sauk County for any and all possible emergency events with planning, training, and coordination between agencies. Prior to his current position, Jeff was the Bioterrorism Education and Training Officer with the State of Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services. Jeff also spent 13 years working for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in numerous positions. He has been involved in numerous emergency response operations giving him the knowledge and experience to train others on effective command and control. Thanks for listening.

Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme interviews Craig Fugate, former Administrator at FEMA, USA, (2009-2017), reporting to President Barack Obama. Craig, now Chief Emergency Officer, One Concern, provides his perspective on the recent crisis in Texas - the power grid outage, the current Mexican border refugee challenge (9,500 unaccompanied children at the border in February 2021) and his perspective on working together across nations to build international planetary-wide resilience. Towards the end of the interview he even provides some tips on how we can as individuals all get through these tough and pressured times to build resilience. Craig Fugate's Official Biography: Mr Fugate served as President Barack Obama’s FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017. Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s Emergency Management Director from 2001-2009. Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government’s response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding. Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma). During his tenure, Fugate focused not only on restoring FEMA’s response capabilities but on promoting emergency management as a community and shared responsibility. Fugate instituted a permanent effort to build the nation’s capacity to stabilize a catastrophic event within 72 hours. He drove completion of Presidential policy on national preparedness and implemented the National Preparedness System to build unity of effort to address the nation's most significant risks. On Fugate’s watch, FEMA awarded more than $19 billion in preparedness grants, supported more than 700 drills and exercises in 47 states, and had more than 40 million participants take part in grassroots community preparedness drills. During Fugate’s tenure, rates of adoption for disaster resilient building codes nationwide increased from 40% in 2009 to 63% in 2016. Fugate also provided Federal Government-wide leadership on reducing disaster risk through efforts to develop for President Obama’s approval executive orders that reduce the Nation’s flood, earthquake, and wildfire risk through managed Federal investment in hazard-prone areas. FEMA’s use of technology to support operations and enable decision-making flourished under Fugate’s leadership. Prior to his service in the Obama Administration, Fugate served as Florida’s Emergency Management Director. As the State Coordinating Officer for 11 Presidentially-declared disasters, he managed more than $4 billion in Federal disaster assistance. In 2004, Fugate managed the largest Federal disaster response in Florida history as four major hurricanes - Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - impacted the state in quick succession. In 2005, Florida was again impacted by major disasters when three more hurricanes - Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma - made landfall in the state. The impact from Katrina was felt more strongly in the Gulf coast states to the west but Florida launched the largest mutual aid response in its history in support of those states. Under Fugate’s stewardship, Florida’s emergency management program became the first statewide program in the Nation to receive full accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program. In 2016, he was the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Lacy E. Suiter Award honoree for lifetime achievements and contributions in the field of emergency management. In 2017, Fugate formed Craig Fugate Consulting LL. and joined One Concern as Chief Emergency Management Officer.

State Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz explains how vaccines are distributed in pods and his reasons for stepping down — effective this April.

Florida’s Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz is announcing he will be resigning and replaced by his deputy Kevin Guthrie. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — While Ron DeSantis had nothing but praise for Moskowitz, he had nothing but scorn for the new guidance from the CDC about the safe reopening of schools. The Governor says it all about politics. — A new coalition of labor and consumers groups is trying to stop the COVID-19 liability immunity bills in the state Legislature. — Florida’s Department of Health is reporting 159 additional fatalities Monday but only 3,600 new cases of COVID-19. That’s the lowest number of new cases since the end of October. — New research shows the wealthiest Floridians got considerably richer during the COVID-19 crisis, adding more than $28 billion to their net worth, while essential workers faced unemployment, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. — Speaking of billionaires, DeSantis is upping the ante in his fight against Big Tech. He’s supporting a new bill that would prevent them from selling your personal data without your permission. — Florida lawmakers hate the idea of gun control, but what about controlling bullets? Sen. Lauren Book talks about her bill that would require background checks to buy ammo. — A new report from the Children’s Movement of Florida says businesses that want to attract the best talent have to adopt more family-friendly policies. — And finally, a Florida Woman and her Florida Daughter are accused of stealing almost $200,000 by setting up fake cosmetic surgery clinics.

Gov. Ron DeSantis unveils his new budget, adding up to more than $96 billion — an all-time high. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — Despite the economic turmoil created by the COVID-19 crisis, DeSantis wants to increase spending for schools and clean water. — Three Democrats who serve on Florida’s Congressional delegation are blasting the Governor over his management of the vaccination program. — But the guy in charge of distributing vaccines in Florida says the real problem is a lack of “meds from the feds.” — Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz briefed state lawmakers while accompanied by Cobra: the COVID-19 sniffing dog. — Rep. Ted Deutch, the Congressman whose district includes Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, is calling for the expulsion of Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia … who retweeted claims that the Parkland massacre was staged. — And finally, a Florida Man who fired almost 100 rounds while targeting his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend during a drive-by shooting.

Florida is reporting 222 more fatalities from COVID-19 and almost 14,000 new cases of the disease. Hospitals are getting crowded. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — State Surgeon General Scott Rivkees spent all week making rounds in the legislature … and faced more questions about the vaccination campaign. — However, if you really want to find out why the vaccine program is chaotic, the man to talk to is Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz. He says the feds are not delivering as much as they promised as soon as they promised. — Moskowitz spoke to members of the House Pandemic Committee right after they passed a bill to crack down on people who commit fraud during a pandemic. — And there’s more gloom and doom in the new state budget. The chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee says 2021 will not be a fun year. — And finally, there’s a Florida Man whose kids will apparently follow him to the Sunshine State when he leaves the White House.

Craig Fugate served as President Barack Obama’s FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017.  Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s Emergency Management Director from 2001-2009.  Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government’s response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding.  Fugate set a clear and compelling vision, mission, and priorities for FEMA and relentlessly drove the Agency to achieve better outcomes for survivors.  FEMA’s effectiveness in dealing with more than 500 Presidentially-declared major disasters and emergencies under Fugate’s leadership restored the faith of the American people in the Federal Government’s ability to respond to disasters.  Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma).
