Mr. Biden: Currently, Milton is a Category 3, with wind speeds up to a hundred and twenty miles an hour, but no one should be confused. It's still expected to be one of the most, and worst, destructive hurricanes to hit Florida in over a century.

Mr. Biden: We've already directed the Department of Defense to be ready to provide active duty servicemembers to support Florida after the storm surge, if Governor DeSantis requests the help just like we did in North Carolina.

[just like in North Carolina? the DOD was given a direction this early for Helene?]

Mr. Biden: Over the last few weeks, there's been reckless and irresponsible and relentless promotion, of disinformation and outright lies about what's going on. It's undermining confidence in the people of Florida, and incredible rescue work that's been undertaken…these lies are un-American. Former President Trump has led this onslaught of lies. Assertions have been made that property is being confiscated. That's simply not true. They're saying people impacted by these storms receive seven hundred, fifty dollars in cash, and no more. That is simply not true either. They're saying that money needed for these crisis are being diverted to migrants. What the hell heck are they talking about? Stop it. It's outrageous. It's just not true. Now the claims are getting even more bizarre. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the 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 so stupid. It's gotta stop.

[same comments, almost word for word, about 'disinformation' as he said earlier today]

Reporter: Why do you think Trump is spreading misinformation?

Mr. Biden: I don't know. I simply don't know., You can speculate, but I just find it un-American. It's not who the hell we are. What are they talking about?

Reporter: Sir, have you considered calling him and asking him to stop doing that? To stop spreading misinformation?

Mr. Biden: Uhhhh, c'mon.
