BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): So when [White House press secretary] Sarah Huckabee Sanders was taking a bunch of questions, and we know about DACA (Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals) and all the things facing the president, he (sic) did get a question about “What’s the president planning on donating to the conditions for the people of Texas?”



PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): It's almost like she knew it was coming because she had answer immediately at hand. She said not only is he focused on it, the president is headed there again tomorrow. He’ll be in Houston tomorrow to further review the damage and provide support. But he's also giving his own -- digging into his own pocket and giving a million dollar donation for relief efforts.



AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): OK. Alright, just let this sink in: The president of the United States of America is dipping into his own personal bank account and giving $1 million. I don't know if that's ever been done before. That's amazing. What a generous act of kindness that he is giving to the folks that are really hurting. People who voted for him. Many people who didn't vote for him. He doesn’t even care at this point.



HEGSETH: Many people who didn't vote for him. It doesn't matter.



EARHARDT: You're right. I think Hillary won Houston. But he's dipping into his own personal account to give money to help others.
