Conway: Trump’s ‘Made Clear He Wants To Make Sure the Funding Is There’ for Texas

‘He expects Congress to act to get the recovery money that the people of Texas need’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BAIER: "I heard the president say funding is going to come through, that he’s going to push the funding through. If you look at the FEMA budget submitted, it was submitted with a decrease of 7.4%. Obviously this is for this disaster but that’s a drop of $838 million. Do you think there’s a reconsideration now about that, considering how much you are relying on FEMA?
CONWAY: "The president made clear yesterday and again today, he expects Congress to act to get the recovery money that the people of Texas need. We all know recovery takes a long time. Nobody should put in artificial time frame on it. A lot of people suffering, a lot of folks have a long road of recovery had. Will be there for them. The funding will be there but in terms of FEMA if you look at the effort put forth by the head of FEMA, Brock long, and his team. We have 2,000 members from FEMA on the ground in Texas right now helping along with acting director and her team. It’s been a remarkable coordinated effort. The president has made clear he wants to make sure the funding is there and that we focus on those in need." 
BAIER: "For the money has to come from somewhere. He was going to decrease it but is he reconsidering?" 
CONWAY: "He wants Congress to act with him."
