Once resuscitated, we were instructed to leave the ship. We did not have the option to stay. My father went to his room with personnel to pack his bags and carnival sent their personnel into my room to gather my belongings. They made us stay on the gangway and after we got off of the water taxi, we had to wait on an ambulance to come and get her. One carnival employee accompanied us but no arrangements were made with customs to expedite us as a medical emergency. We were all processed as tourists, including my comatose mother. The carnival employee gave my father the telephone number for the Port Authority and left us completely alone in a foreign country to find our own way to transport my mother back to the United States for additional medical treatment. Carnivals current contract states that they are not responsible or liable for anything involving the welfare or safety of its passengers. The Company Makes no assurances that a physician will be available on a cruise. And it states t
Embrace it. The less the leaders in congress recognize publicly that this is an important issue its not going to happen because theyre going to have people pushing back real hard so its got to be a public effort. They have to be armed with a push from the president and the white house to say this is important. So id like to see the whole National Security apparatus from the president , nfc on down, making this top priority in all the conversations. Tom, you had mentioned the role of the congressional leadership in pushing this ahead. What should they be doing . It is i think my colleagues brought up two very important points. One, it is a National Security issue. It is a National Security issue. I dont think anyone would argue the restructuring of congress after world war ii and subsequent restructuring from the department of war to the department of defense were more aggressive about the oversight of dod. That needs to be understood. This is not a management and organizational issue,
Radio station was welcoming herb to philadelphia. They were holding a business breakfast at the Marriott Hotel in philadelphia. My responsibility that day was to literally do my Morning Radio Program from the hallway outside the ballroom where 500 businesspeople at the invitation of our Radio Station would be there to welcome herb. During an extended commercial break, i was to run inside to the ballroom, go up to the podium, and be the person to introduce him to the crowd and to the city of philadelphia, run back out to the console and continue doing the radio show uninterrupted. That was my assignment for the day. A little footnote to the story, that did occur and ill never forget when i walked up to the podium and i did the introduction, he comes up now and herb is a wonderful guy and a renegade, good fellow in my view. I have to stand around at the podium now for the obligatory handshake and photograph, and when i do he leans over and he whispers in my ear, may i smoke . And i said,
He does not do the same and as a matter of fact, some of the slides i have here i show people that he has been putting on his staff, and so these are just some pictures you can look at the screen and i going to get the one here we have nancy pelosi submits to islamic law, Hillary Clinton puts on the muslim veil. And we have muslim postage stamps and another president bells to the king of saudi arabia. The king of saudi arabia is like the godfather of islam because the two holy cities and islam are in that country. And so he says whatever we want or we are no longer a christian nation. He has Four Brothers and wives in kenya and campaigns for muslims. 3,000 muslims in the u. S. Capitol alone. These are muslims that are on the president s staff that have connections so you date back for enough, they are connected with the Muslim Brotherhood. Arif stopped as the mayor of los angeles stopped the tracking of terrorists. Such a good job he was chosen to become Homeland Security. He says the
This huge undertaking. But please allow me to be very clear. Peace in libya, either the tribes do this or no one is going to do this. No one is going to achieve this. The only way to reach pieceeace is the tribes finally accept that theyre going to go toward stabilization and piece. Our work is that looking in favor of this at all levels so this effort does, indeed leads to peace. The diplomatic initiatives you are aware of theyre the ones that we are doing, and theyre the ones that the Foreign Ministers are also trying to support and to study. Obviously this is not a job that starts in libya. I would like my Italian Journalist friends to understand that libya which we consider because theyre across from us the main problem, but theyre part of a more complex, greater problem that has to do with the risk of terrorist infiltrations in africa. We are feeling the pain for what happened at the university in kenya, but this regards africa as a whole as a continent. A few days ago, we remembe
