you currently have a lot of differences with the president. i wonder if you found agreement on one issue, the president remaining home as dorian takes aim in florida. can you applaud the president approximate say that was good to stay home because of this barreling storm coming through in a few days. look, it s something worth while to be on hand, as you deal with the potential of significant natural disaster. but it doesn t make any sense when you re looking to take i think it s about 250 or 270 million dollars away from fema as we face a major hurricane in dorian hitting florida and as we face the hurricane system. so you can stay home. if you re staying home to take money from fema, which deals with disaster assistance at the heart of hurricane season, you re doing more harm than good. senator, thanks for being back on the show.
