Jill helps Joe put his jacket on as they step off Marine One in Kentucky: President tells flood victims the $740billion Inflation Reduction Act ‘takes care of everything like healthcare and God knows what else’ as he goes off script

  • Joe and Jill Biden surveyed flood damage in Kentucky 
  • The first couple saw damaged homes, destroyed buildings and piles of debris left in the wake of flooding and mudslides
  • As they prepared to leave the state, Jill helped Joe put his jacket back on
  • He had taken it off in the 90-something heat 
  • Biden promised more federal help and said he’d be back to see the recovery 
  • ‘The bad news for you is I’m coming back because I want to see it,’ he said
  • He said the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act would take ‘care of everything from health care to god knows what else 

Jill Biden helped President Joe Biden put on his navy blue blazer as they prepared to depart Kentucky for Washington D.C. after spending Monday touring flood damage.

The first lady helped her husband find his sleeve as he struggled to get the coat back on after he stepped off Marine One. The two had wrapped up a tour of Lost Creeek, Kentucky, and were leaving its 90-something degree heat for the air-conditioned coolness of Air Force One.

The president also dropped his signature aviator sunglasses on the tarmac but paused to pick them up. They appeared in one piece. Biden also had sweat stains on his dress shirt from being outside all day. 

He wrapped up his day surveying the flood damage by going off-script at his last event, telling the people of Kentucky that he would be back to see their recovery from the damage that destroyed homes and killed at least 37 people.

‘The bad news for you is I’m coming back because I want to see it,’  he said to laughter and applause after his tour of damage from the storms.

Biden forewent his formal remarks to speak off the cuff after he spent Monday afternoon visiting with families affected by the floods and receiving a briefing on volunteer efforts. 

He praised the spirits of the people of Kentucky and vowed the government would be there for them. 

‘I promise you. We’re staying the federal government along with the state and county and the city. We’re staying until everybody’s back to where they were – not a joke,’ he said as he walked before the crowd, microphone in hand.

He said the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act would take ‘care of everything from health care to god knows what else.’

The Democrats signature legislation, which deals with healthcare and climate issues, passed the Senate on Sunday without a single Republican vote. It goes to the House for a vote this week.

Biden also seemed to fumble over his words a bit as he said the weather was ‘out of our control for now’ but not ‘beyond our control.

‘Everybody has an obligation to help. We have the capacity to do this. It’s not like it’s beyond our control. The weather may be out of our control for now. But it’s not beyond our control,’ he said.

Biden spoke on a hot day in Kentucky where more storms were expected later in the week. His shirt was covered in sweat stains and he wore his signature aviator sun glasses. He had disguarded his blue sports jacket and rolled up his sleeves. Jill Biden passed out bottles of water. 

He and first lady Jill Biden examined shelled-out buildings and debris-filled yards in Lost Creek, Kentucky.

The president high-fived a toddler and introduced himself to a young boy during a stop in a neighborhood where many homes had been flattened and caked in mud.  

The first couple saw damaged homes, destroyed buildings and piles of debris left in the wake of flooding and mudslides that led to 13 counties being declared federal disaster areas.  

‘Those are pieces of everybody’s houses. That’s all that’s left,’ Democratic Governor Andy Beshear told the president as they stood in front of school bus.

‘It took out power… just incredible,’ Beshear said.

The president’s motorcade drove along Lost Creek, whose banks are strewn with flood detritus including guilding materials, clothing, and a plastic laundry basket high in a tree. 

At least 37 people have died and two remain missing after July’s massivie storm dropped 8 to 10 1/2 inches of rain in only 48 hours. 

Many have been displaced from their homes while others have been stranded without water, electricity or other critical supplies. 

There could be more damage to come. The National Weather Service said Sunday that flooding remains a threat, warning of more thunderstorms through Thursday. 

The president called the damage to Kentucky ‘incredibly heartbreaking’ and said the federal government was committed to help, paying ‘100 percent of the costs for the next few months.’

‘People don’t realize those piles of heavy debris, it takes a lot of time, a lot of money to take it away,’ Biden said.

During his stop at Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary school, he received a briefing and joined Jill Biden in the school gym, where she was helping volunteers sort and folding donated clothing.

Biden fist bumped some volunteers, shook hands with others and chatted with many. 

During the formal briefing, he talked about flying over the area.

‘It’s a magnificent state,’ the president noted.

He also pointed out that when a state needs help, members of both parties work together to make that happen, singling out his work with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to help the state. 

McConnell and Biden have sparred repeatedly over the president’s legislative agenda, but Biden noted they came together during the state’s time of need.

‘When there’s trouble everybody jumps in,’ he said. ‘Mitch McConnell and I – we have battle all the time on issues but, lucky when it comes to these issues, it’s all one team.’

Biden approved a major disaster declaration for Kentucky last week, freeing up federal funds for emergency work.

‘It’s my second visit to Kentucky for a crisis or crisis. Now what I said holds true today, gonna take awhile to get through this. I promise you we’re not leaving,’ he said. 

Biden blamed climate change for the damage. 

‘We’ve suffered a consequence of climate change – a significant number of weather catastrophes around the nation. This the the year and a half I’ve been President, I’ve flown over 1000s of acres of fire. Forest is burning. More forest burned down and in the West and the entire state of New Jersey, New York all the way down,’ he said.

Biden scored a major victory on Sunday when the Senate passed sweeping $430 billion bill that includes a clean energy package intended to fight climate change.

The legislation is aimed at reducing carbon emissions and shifting consumers to green energy.

Monday’s visit is Biden’s second to the state since taking office last year. He previously visited in December after tornadoes whipped through Kentucky, killing 77 people and leaving a trail of destruction.

Beshear lauded Biden for his help.

‘He came through’ … for ‘Team Kentucky,’ he said.

‘The world has come to our aid with more donations and more dollars that you’ve ever seen,’ Beshear said, though he emphasized that money is far more useful at this point.
