    1. It's been absolutely devastated, and God be with you all. It's been a rough, it's been a rough one. That was a big monster hurricane and was a lot, hit a lot harder than anyone even thought possible. So we want to just extend our best wishes to everybody.
    2. Biden is in Delaware sleeping right now in one of his many estates.
    3. Before we begin, I'd like to send my love and prayers to the families of those who have died - a lot of death — and all of those who are displaced and suffering in the wake of the hurricane's destruction in the South, especially in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and in particular, western North Carolina took a tremendous hit.

    1. Many people are cut off because the roads are impassable.
    2. We don't know how many because search and rescue operations are still going on.
    3. So we're depending a lot on air power, helicopters with hoist capacity to get supplies in.
    4. We know that there are people missing, and we know that there's going to be significant fatalities at the end of this and our prayers and our hearts go out to these families.
    5. This storm has brought catastrophic devastation... of historic proportions.
    6. This is an unprecedented tragedy that requires an unprecedented response.
    7. We're working to surge supplies in. The emotional and physical toll here is indescribable. Rivers are still rising, so the danger is not over.
    8. There are a lot of people hurting. When you don't have power, when you don't have cellphone service, when you don't have water, this is a catastrophic situation for you.
