during his 10th deployment overseas. he was in a coma for three months, partially paralyzing him. he is recovering with the help of many doctors and of course a loving family too. that was indeed a moment to watch in the balcony. wow. martha: it was a very powerful moment. a reminder what brings us all together. the support of our troops and respect for this young man and the fact he has given so much for the country. bill: thank you, cory. martha: quite a moment last night. we ll have much more on the winter storm that is paralyzing the deep south today but first republicans reacting to the president and his pledge to go around congress if he has to. house majority whip kevin mccarthy is here. he will talk to us in just a couple minutes. bill: a cruise ship carrying a mystery illness set to dock later today. we ll be live at the seen to try to figure out what happened. martha: hopefully not too close. bill: then there is this. watch closely. this is only about the
mental health care that they need. we ll keep working to help all our veterans translate their skills and leadership into jobs here at home. and we will all continue to join forces to honor and support our remarkable military families. let me tell you about one of those families i ve come to know. i first met cory remsburg, a crowd army ranger, at omaha beach on the 65th anniversary of d-day. along with some of his fellow rangers, he walked me through the program and the ceremony. he was a strong, impressive young man, had an easy manner, he was sharp as a tack. we joked around and took pictures and i told him to stay in touch. a few months later, on his 10th deployment, cory was nearly killed by a massive roadside
he was a strong, impressive young man, had an easy manner, he was sharp as a tack. we joked around and took pictures and i told him to stay in touch. a few months later, on his 10th deployment, cory was nearly killed by a massive roadside bomb in afghanistan. his comrades found him in a canal face down, under water, shrapnel in his brain. for months, he lay in a coma. the next time i met him in the hospital, he couldn t speak. he could barely move. over the years, he s endured dozens of surgeries and procedures. hours of grueling rehab every day. even now, cory is still blind in one eye. still struggles on his left side.
maybe that is something we need to rethink as well. we lost a special forces sold other a couple months ago on his 10th deployment. two, four, five, six. martha: he would have been eligible for nothing, correct? right. congressman, buck mckeon, very good to see you today. thanks for bringing us to our attention. bill: about 17 minutes after the hour. explosive new charge, calling about life in the white house and calling it a hostile working place for women. new fallout by a death by a seaworld killer whale and the decision that could have effect. i don t think they re out of the water yet. they re still there in the whale. but someone is, they are getting them out of the water now. there are people working on it yet. two, three dozen people over there right now.15 or more on car insurance? host: do people use smartphones to do dumb things?
