We never have to walk alone. There is a contemporary song that describes this powerful truth. Part of the chorus, song as one looking back over the road of life, says, scars and struggle on the way, but the joy of our hearts can say, never once did we ever walk alone. Never once did you leave us on our own. You are faithful, god. You are faithful. As we walked through this valley as a family, as a community, and as a nation, let us each one choose not to walk the journey alone. Embrace the healing, comfort, and strength that god offers you. Embrace your Faith Community and allow them to care for you. Embrace your family and friends and draw strength from their presence, and in our context, embrace your battle buddys, your leadership, your brothers and sisters in arms who never choose to walk alone. To the families, i forever reiterate, you are part of our army family. We love you. We are standing with you. Youll never walk alone. Theadies, please rise for benediction and remain standin
A Community Hard hit by the economic crisis associated with the covid19 pandemic. And speaking with local businesses, theyre trying to make up for a lot of the loss profit by elongating the Summer Season. There was a decision in the community to keep the beaches open through the month of september to hopefully charge to have lifeguards here and offset the losses, about 40 less than this time last year. So hearing about how hard hit they were stuck with me. Take a listen to what they told me. We need this weekend and every other weekend in september. There is no way that we could possibly do what we need to do by being closed as long as we were and then open up as late as we did. So i think most of us are grateful that were open. If weve through Hurricane Sandy and fires and well get through this and come out stronger on the other side. Reporter with the community having gone through so much theyre looking to try to offset the losses and going beyond the last hooray after Labor Day Week
Senate and two weeks from now the trial begins. Clearly most of the focus is on the hill at this very moment for the Biden Administration. But President Biden is rolling out more executive actions today and in this hour he and the Vice President Kamala Harris are meeting with the new defense secretary lloyd austin and mark milley. So where are things headed as we kick off this new week. Cnns john harwood is joining frus the white house and manu raju on the hill. Manu, where do things stand with the covid relief package this morning. Reporter there is definitely resistance among the republicans in the senate, in order to get the bill through the regular order it would require at least ten republicans to join with 50 democrats to overcome any efforts to try to derail the legislation to get 60 votes and advance through the senate. But on a bipartisan call that happened yesterday, a number of senators raised concerns about the scope of the 1. 9 trillion legislation, like Susan Collins of m
And just into cnn, two new arrivals at the white house, champ and major. They are now in residence, we are told, the bidens german shepherds. You can see them playing with the first lady on the white house grounds. Were told that champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace. Major is partial to running on the south lawn. Were also hearing republicans have launched an investigation into the dogs. Susan collins, were told, is concerned and Tucker Carlson is devoting 15 minutes a night to saying the dogs represent cancel culture because it obscures a discussion that he so desperately wants about cats. You really stayed up too late tonight, didnt you . Were you watching football . There was a lot of football. I can see somethings happening. Joining us now, we have David Gregory and natasha alford. Great to see you guys. Okay, david, if you dont have anything to say about the super bowl, ill just move on. I want to graduate tom brady, because i know john cares about that. Pretty amazi
That is one thing that were talking about. And then were watching close to see what Chuck Schumer thinks about the idea of having witnesses. We know that democrats have wanted to make this an expedited trial, they want to move quickly and not to take up so much time that it hinders the new president s legislative agenda. But it is an open question right now whether or not theyre going to have witnesses. It is ultimately the decision of schumer but we could see a agreement between mcconnell and schumer to try to get bipartisans into the trial. It would be interesting if they didnt fight and get blocked for witnesses in the last trial. While i have you, because stimulus plan is clearly priority number one for President Biden, without getting too deep into details or reconciliation, et cetera, but if 60 votes looks outside the realm of possibility here, how likely is it now that democrats proceed via reconciliation which would mean they would only need 51 . Or 50 really . Reporter yes. Th
