More than 285,000 dead americans because of covid19, and counting. Last week, covid19 was the number one cause of death in america. Of covid19 and counting. Last week, covid19 was the number one cause of death in america. For black, latino and native americans, were nearly three times as likely to die from it, covid19 is a mass causality. For families and friends left behind, its a gaping hole in your heart that never will be fully healed. As a country, weve been living with this pandemic for so long, were at risk of becoming numb to its toll on all of us. Were resigned to feel that theres nothing we can do. And we cant trust one another. That we must accept death, pain and sorrow. Were in the midst of this deadly pandemic that has infected almost 15 million americans. 1 out of every 22 peo
And also served as National Security adviser to president george w. Bush. David admiral, great to see you again. We are two days after veterans day and that was the occasion for this event. There are plenty of public issues right now that i want to ask you about, but i want to defer that for a moment and talk to you about service itself. And i want to start by talking about how you came by service, because you came by it naturally. You grew up in a family of service. Tell me about your dad, who was quite an interesting person. Adm. Mcraven first, thank you for the invitation to join you here today. This is terrific. I certainly enjoy spending time with you and the students of the iop. You are right, i kind of came by it naturally. My father was a world war ii fighter pilot. Flew spitfires, actually, which was a british airplane, because, at the time, when we entered the war, americans did not have planes to take on the german messersmith, so the british loaned us spitfires. But my gran
Statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers, bludgeoned one to death, while looking for lawmakers to capture or kill including the former Vice President. Five people died in the attack. At least two Police Officers have since died by suicide. Two weeks and a day, the house voted to impeach the expresident a second time. And the man who posed smiling today at maralago said this. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump. Accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest, and ens

Good evening. If you were wondering how long a disgraced expresident has to wait to be forgiven these days after inciting a deadly insurrection against the seat of democracy in hopes of overturning the election he lost, the answer is three weeks and a day. Thats how long it took House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy to make the pilgrimage to maralago and pay his respects to the former president. He went on his own initiative to talk strategy about taking back the house in 2022. He also went to try to make sure he would stay in the president s good graces, it seems. The expresident s Political Action committee put out a statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers
