JOHN YOUNG: “The federal government is not only not helping us. They're actually hurting us now and preventing us from protecting…”

If this was a war, as everyone said -- and even the President said last night that we're under siege -- if this was a war, we would be occupied territory by now. It's gone on two months.

I mean, the president came down and said we're going to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes, but the action hasn't met his words or his promises.

I have sought to constantly apply the principles I learned from these gentlemen.

At this point in time, every day, every hour, every minute counts. This is just another example of the unmitigated failure that the federal government and the federal response has been to date.
