Mr. Biden: Winds will be fierce, at well over a hundred miles per hour, with storm surges reaching up to fifteen feet, and up to eighteen inches of rain. It's looking like the storm of the century.
Mr. Biden: I want to be clear about something. Over the last few weeks there has been a reckless, irresponsible, and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies, that are disturbing people. It's undermining confidence in the incredible rescue and recovery work that has already been taken, and will continue to be taken. It's harmful to those who need help the most…former President Trump has led the onslaught of lies…now the claims are getting even more bizarre. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather. We're controlling the weather. It's beyond ridiculous. It's gotta stop.
Biden is on the stage set, Harris is virtual; not even in the room with him. Unclear where she is appearing from.
Biden asked Criswell a question; read it from a piece of paper.
Mr. Biden: You know, all this disinformation going out about how, you know, we're devoting all this money to migrants; even one congresswoman suggesting that I control the weather, and implying that I'm sending it to red states. I mean, stuff off the wall. It's like out of a comic book.

Jean-Pierre: The administration will also continue to call out misinformation and conspiracy theories around the storm, and federal and state responses. This is wrong, dangerous, and it must stop immediately.
Multiple questions to FEMA administrator at White House press conference about 'misinformation'.
Jean-Pierre: When we came into this administration, we did not have a comprehensive strategy to deal with COVID…you had a former president who was telling people to inject bleach. To inject bleach. And you have [Biden] and [Harris] who took it very seriously, and put forth a comprehensive strategy to deal with a once in a century pandemic…the economy has turned around…we all saw when the former president would come to the podium to talk about the pandemic, and the lies that were spewing, and what was happening.
Reporter: The reporting in that book that former President Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin seven times since leaving office. Is that appropriate?
Jean-Pierre: If it is indeed true, are we concerns, do we have serious concerns? Yes. If it is true…lets not forget, it is concerning, especially when we know the former president was lobbying against more aid for Ukraine…
