JOHNSON: "Yeah, so they’ve obligated some funds, but they've only distributed 2%. The rescue and recovery effort is still going on, and then we address the rest of it."

JOHNSON: "Yeah, so they’ve obligated some funds, but they only distributed 2%. When I was there on the ground -- and you should go, I mean, bring the cameras and talk to the people, they'll tell you, don't take politicians' words for this or the administration's word. Talk to the people there on the ground, they have not been provided the resources almost two weeks after the storm that they desperately needed. And when I was there, 13 days post -- you know, post the storm hitting that state, people are still getting saved, they're stuck in the higher elevations in the mountains because the roads are down and all the rest. So, they need every available resource and all hands on deck. The rescue and recovery effort is still going on, and then we address the rest of it."
