RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

MANNING: "President Trump is outsider in politics. Fair to say the vice president has more experience and softer touch and better approach in situations like this one but on the other hand the Trump Administration has taken the right tack on Hurricane Harvey. They have mobilized FEMA. They mobilized department of homeland security and the coast guard. In the official response the Trump Administration did a very good job responding to needs of people in Texas. They emphasized sometimes the first person who shows up to help is not someone who officially represents the government but it is your neighbor, someone from your community, someone from your church. Seeing those stories and celebrating those stories of people helping people. That is the highlight. That is the takeaway from Hurricane Harvey."
