in the situation we re in right now, we need a man like joe biden. i think he can fix our problems. pete: so god bless this vet who s given to this country, but when this vet says get the best health care possible? joe biden and barack obama had that chance. joe biden s had that chance for 40 years. they invested in a failed bureaucratic v.a. system that trapped veterans and stuck them on wait lists. without trump who brought real choice for veterans to get the best health care possible. so good luck on a debate stage debating trump. ads like that, you know, it s the same platitudes and promises we ve heard all along without results. president trump is actually delivered them. that s the same old politics of past. it s not going to work. jedediah: yeah, it s the difference between a sound bite and actually implementing policy that helps people. you can talk as much as you people you want, put as many ads out, likable people are going to have more hard-earned cash, but if the policies a
deserve the right to live freely in this country without being discriminated against. and these words, the concern, is that by hearing the president use words such as, you know, they should go back to their country, when they are legal citizens of this country, then puts a bulls eye on a lot of legal immigrants in this country when they are walking down the street, they may look different than, let s say, the white person standing next to them. that s the sort of hate that needs to stop. i believe both republicans and democrats have to stand up and say enough is enough. julie, you are right. she has already faced so many death threats and this puts her in more physical danger. that s no question. she has said some terrible things. julie: no doubt about it? she and her friends have definitely not helped their party and they are isolated within their party. there are so many ways for a president of the united states to explain to the country, both his supporters and people who do
if fact, there have been tanks at a number of ceremonies in washington, d.c. in the past. in 1957, 1961, 1991 for various occasions not just the gulf war victory parade but for inaugurations as well. it wasn t as unusual as some of the critics said. and i think in the end the tanks didn t play a very big role in the whole thing. as you mentioned, the real star of the show were those flyovers, especially the stealth bomber flyover which seemed to get a lot of admirers. alicia: does the president need to answer for any of these concerns that were brought up, national parks picking up part of the tab. anything like that? does he need to respond to any of that? well, a president usually takes care of his donors. there is no doubt about that. but in terms of why spend public money for a celebration like this? i m sure the president s
army s recruiting numbers. they had a goal of 76,500 new recruits. they got about 70,000. when you compare that to the other services, the army is the only one that didn t meet numbers. the navy in 2018 reached 100% of its numbers, marine corps, which you are partial to, of course, also did and air force came in at 103% of its stated goal. generally the country is doing pretty well when it comes to matching recruits to the services, would you say? we are. it wasn t that long ago we were turning people away. it wasn t that long before that we were letting everyone who wanted to join in. it is a sliding scale. a constantly moving target. depends what s going on economically in the country and what s going on with our military overseas. when we re actively fighting a war people not unlike myself are running to the recruiters office trying to be part of it. if we re actively fighting
progress in this country. we re losing the jobs of the future to china right now because of our policies. they are building the future of solar energy, the fastest growing sector in the energy economy. we can t afford to lose those jobs at home. we are because the policies aren t matching the moment. alicia: thank you both for joining us on this friday. have a good one. jon: georgia man is pulled from a burning mobile home and the rescue all captured on camera. come on, come on. give him to me. jon: you look at body cam footage from the clayton county police department. they pulled the unconscious man out of a burning mobile home on monday morning. the neighbor suffered a burn on his arm and two officers also were hurt. they were treated on the scene, police say the man they saved ended up making a full recovery. an unpatriotic act on the
