Just with construction, with the numbers for 2013 . Um you can get back to me in writing. Yeah. Im going to let tom look this up for me. [laughter] all right. And how about veterans unemployment . Be do we know where that is . Yes. Okay. Um, okay. Gulf war era veterans had an Unemployment Rate of 7. 3 in december, and this is down from 10. 8 a year earlier. Uhhuh. In december of 2013, there were 2. 9 million gulf war era veterans, and they served anywhere in the world since september 2001. Okay.

So if you think thats harsh, its actually the most charitable explanation for the astonish new evidence that has come to light. Audio first obtained by the Washington Post reveals the president trying to bully as georgias republican secretary of state into, quote, finding votes to overturn president elect bidens win there. The audio includes what might be construed the threat of criminal prosecution. So either the president has just completely lost his grip on reality and there is much in the hourlong recording to suggest this, or he got caught committing an act that you will hear legal experts say is at a minimum morally repugnant, and at a maximum, a conspiracy to violate election law.
