0 now here s the thing. the harpoon has a rope attached to it and they tie the rope up to the boat. by virtue of that rope and that harpoon, that little whaling boat is now essentially tied to a very angry whale. which weighs what, like 40, 50, 60 tons and the whale because it has been stuck with a harpoon, inevitably takes off swimming. and because the boat is tied to it, the whale is towing it dragging our little 19th century crew in our little boat, across the waves, going more than 20 miles an hour. our whaling boat is essentially water skiing behind a wounded, furious, huge creature, a creature that is way bigger than them. when that creature ties out and they re able to complete the kill. our little crew is going to be the richer crew on the ocean tonight, they got their whale. but if something goes wrong, to sound, if he thinks that whale is going to kill them all by dragging them down, he can use the most important thing that he has on the ship. he can use his whale boat hatche
0 but if something goes wrong, like the whale doesn t get tired and it runs away with them on this nantucket slay ride on waves as high as houses how long can that little crew survive that on their boat. and the whale, if it is big enough and strong off, the whale could decide to sound. when a whale sounds, that means it is diving deep to the bottom of the ocean. if a whale is tied to a comparatively small whaling boat and it decides to dive down to the deepest of the deep where the giant squid live, if the whale dives deep and brings that boat with it. all those sailors on the whaling boat are going to die at the bottom of the sea. which is where the captain comes in. as that bolt is flying across the ocean at 20 miles an hour, over giant waves, being dragged through the sea behind 60 tons of righteous whale fury, our heroic whaling boat captain has place to be this time of year and maybe we ll make friends with the giant squid. how does it affect the judgment of the captain if his cr
which they never expected to be, reeling from a tragedy of epic proportion. nobody expected us to be here. if you asked people a month ago would we be in this situation, most would have said no. the reality is fighting men and women face more uncertainty as their country goes to war than they ever have before. all allowed this because this shutdown is one american people are breaking their promises people have signed up to fight and serve. corporal collins, of course, was the son 19-year-old son of the mother that we interviewed in milwaukee overnight. but the other four there were four marines killed on sunday. i just want to read their names. sergeant patrick hawkins. he was from the seventh ranger regiment of ft. benning, georgia, also private cody patterson, assigned to company b third battalion, 75th ranger
we could not add to this grief but now providing the ability of this family to bury him decently. usually these resources are provided to the family within 36 hours of someone like marine lance corporal collins passing. because of the shutdown, despite passing the military bill and despite all of these antics with veterans bills, it really shows the problem of trying to cobble together and piece together a government. it is ma am, let me interrupt you really quickly. the president is starting now. let s listen in. thank you. i ll try to be brief at the top. this morning i had a chance to speak with speaker boehner and i told him what i ve been saying publicly, i m happy to talk with him and other republicans about anything. not just issues i think are important but also issues that
blame any place other than to the entire system here. how do you respond to the mother of corporal collins? first off my heart and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones in battle. i m so grateful for the ultimate sacrifice these young individuals made on behalf of our country. as we have talked this morning, we are going to work through this week, a mini cr that would help with this funding. duncan hunter indicated this is in the discretion of the government. if they disagree the pentagon disagrees with that. right. if they disagree, we ll work through a mini cr that will take care of the families of these loved ones. but the larger point, congressman duffy, these mini crs, mini continuing resolutions, that s the whole question of taking little pieces of the government. the issue is not that this is a
