[0:01] Well, Tucker, it wasn't very good. He

[0:03] was in a place called Shalomat, which is

[0:04] in St. Bernard's Parish, a little bit

[0:06] south and east of New Orleans. And while

[0:08] the president was meeting with some of

[0:10] the first responders there and and the

[0:12] mayor, the parish uh official, the sort

[0:53] return because the conditions are so bad

[0:55] or they're not allowed to return. And if

[0:57] they're not allowed to return, who's

[0:58] preventing them?

[1:01] >> Well, they're not allowed to return in

[1:02] the sense that in order to uh to go

[1:04] back, there's going to be a special sort

[1:05] of certificate that they have to obtain
