more about power and being saluted. right. it s not about actually respect the sacrifices or people who love our country so much. this is a president who is basically kim jong don. martha: so here is secretary mattis on the whole thing today. watch this. i think we re all aware in this country of the president s affection and respect for the military. we have been putting together some options. we ll second them up to the white house for decision. martha: joining me now dana loesch a national radio host and jessica tarlov fox news contributor and muscle.com. of course this prompts the question have we done this before and yes we have. in 1991 there was a military parade, george h.w. bush initiated it. and, you know, there is a look at what they did back then after the iraq war. so, jessica, is there anything wrong with this? i don t think so. i don t think there is anything implicitly wrong with this.

[talking at the same time] patriotism. thank you, guys. good to see you both. all right. so, coming up, these brave survivors of larry nassar s abuse have used their voice to make a difference. change is in the hands of the most unpopular branch of our government congress. some might call it that. can lawmakers come together in the interest of protecting our athletes. a re

19 trillion-dollar debt in this country. but the second something like this comes up, you know, dick durbin says it s too expensive, jessica. i wonder why he doesn t ever say anything sells too expensive. now republicans and democrats both have no concern for how expensive things are. martha: really? the senate funding bill proved that the concern here is when you are going to be spending this amount of money and we have some veterans who are homeless in america we need as dana pointed out to fix the healthcare system to veterans to improve that if this is the best use of those funds, no one wants to take anything away from their sacrifice and contribution to this nation. if those dollars are available. there are a few people living on the street who i m sure would love have-to-have a home. martha: i m not surprised if they could get donors to pay for this parade, dana. they probably could pull that of o i m always amazed why a parade costs so much. why does a parade cost $12 m
