those crashes are not going to turn out to have any technical linkage. they are linked by the fact that they remind us of the sacrifice and the patriotism of those aircrews, but they are three different air systems. we have to wait for the accident reports, but the crash of the 88b, i suspect that some maintenance and she would, that pilate was very lucky to eject, he did very well. we don t know the causes yet. the thunderbird f-16, that s a very highly rated team and you have to see what caused that tragedy, but they will be unrelated. that said, there is a crisis in military aviation. we need new aircraft for our cruise and the more funding and flying hours. martha: no doubt and as general mattis says, we have to fund in our country to do this safely, has to be the priority. i have to ask you about this other fascinating report about space wars and whether or not we
teaching throughout all judaea. pilate is really trying to figure out, is this a rabbi from galilee and followers who think he s special, or is this someone who has come specifically in order to overthrow roman power? are you the king of the jews? he s trying to ascertain whether jesus is a political threat to roman power in judaea. if you say so. blasphemy. in luke s account of the trial, pilate s verdict is swift. i find no basis for an accusation against this man. i think that pilate himself had grave doubts that jesus was really a military threat. so how dangerous could he really be? no, no, he stirs up the people throughout all judaea from galilee where he began even to this place. bring him to me.
