morning. so the president is taking a lot of heat for this decision to divert these funds to the border at the beginning of hurricane season. is this a good move? speak of the democrats know that this money isn t being diverted from anything that can be used for recovery efforts or preparedness efforts. they know this so this is a flat out lied. if the media is reporting it and continues to do so this way, they either haven t gotten to the conclusion of the fact that this pot of money can t be used for recovery effort or they know it and they are misrepresenting it intentionally. that obviously is problematic. this president has given billions of dollars to puerto rico, florida, texas, south carolina, anywhere that s faced one of these damaging storms he wants the american people to be back in the feet and that s what he does it. i know he asked will it ever end if he talked about those funds going to puerto rico, the democrats are calling this cruel, chuck schumer took this on in th
dollars in fema funds to help with all of the problems going on at the southern border right now, which, being from arizona, you know well. here s what nancy pelosi says about that. she says stealing from appropriated funds is always unacceptable, but to pick the pockets of disaster relief funding in order to fund an appalling and humane family incarceration plan is staggeri staggering, and to do so on the eve of hurricane season is stunningly reckless. this quotes your thoughts on that? i find that remarkable. quite frankly, there is lots of money in fema. this is a normal practice. don t forget about the humanitarian bill that we just passed in july, specifically prohibiting the use by i.c.e. to add beds when we had a 15,000 shortage. it is not going to be used for families but single adult males. we have a surplus of men, and we have a shortage of beds.
this isn t happening. the police union says part of a nationwide union against policing is causing people not to apply. speak to you matt finn in minneapolis. jon: the state of ohio is preparing to enhance background checks in the wake of the deadly mass shooting in dayton, ohio, earlier this month. the governors set to release his new plan in moments. we will take you there. plus, tropical storm dorian bearing down for puerto rico, as the president s plan to divert funds from disaster relief is facing criticism. hogan gidley, our headliner, joined us next hour. my skin. it was embarrassing. my joints. they hurt. the pain and swelling. the tenderness. the psoriasis. i had to find something that worked on all of this. i found cosentyx. now, watch me.
pushback hysteria. in reality, this is something about they do constantly, reprogram dollars. you do that, you some of the reprogramming to congress. so this is pretty much standard with other administrations as well. we have a national security crisis on our border. they are often transferred between agencies under the same department when a fiscal year some funds were transferred last year for immigration enforceme enforcement, including some from fema, but it was a much less significant number. $10 million. democrats were critical of that as well. jon. jon: ellison barber at the white house. thank you. sandra: we are going to have a whole lot more coming up. hogan gidley will be joining us. i will be at 10:30 a.m. eastern, about one hour and a half from now. big, big day for 2020 democrats.
towards puerto rico, still dealing with the damage from hurricane maria. they claim that this is necessary. they say more single adults are crossing the border, and without additional funding for transportation and bets, i.c.e. will not be able to handle the influx of migrants. democrats are not buying it. they say that the administration lacks necessary justification under the law. has bigger nancy pelosi is accusing president trump and his administration of stealing money from disaster relief to pay for an inhumane family incarceration plan. chuck schumer says it is an effort to undermine the constitutional authority. he said taking these critical funds from disaster preparedness and recovery efforts threatens lives and weekends the government s ability to help americans in the wake of natural disasters. congress appropriated these funds to meet the american people s priorities. the white house is calling the
