Where the new kids on the block are supposed to be seen and not heard, gone is this a whole new world when it comes to their influence and strength? it s testifily definitely a new chapter can you hear me? it s 2021 so you have to check. this is definitely a new phase. when you think about the fact that nancy pelosi, she is someone that democrats have said over and over again they would never bet against. she was someone that could pull off votes with the american rescue plan or going back to the affordable care act. she s been able to push big legislation through the congress. she now northeasts how to whip votes. they say this shows that progressives have some muscle. this also shows that progressives are trying to send a message to senator manchin and senator sinema they can have their sort of red line in the sand. they can influence the way
yeah. i don púáhink you re going to see him lo(3r g nuclearxd weapons across the stage at her. i think this improves his visibility. if he handles it right he comes out a leader of the liberal cause. is he serious? does he really want to be the president of the united states or is heu?doing this somehow to boost his own political platform? absolutely wants to be president of the united states. and i am certain that he has sat there with his advisors and there are any number of scenarios in which hillary might stumble or something might happen or maybe he s positioningó0@&c @&c@ himself for a vp slot. but, you know, i ve never metan alderman who shaves in the morning and doesn t see a president. so yeah, testifily i m sure he wants to. you make a point there. he wasu! alreadyi]z( mayor.çtgi-he sçalreadyç beenñrr governor.rzv so what sç thev: nextu! step?i] president. possibly for him. either that or show on fox. either what?
Veterans benefits. all of these things are being threatened. how do you prioritize. all of those thing s you mentioned we d have the revenue stream to pay. you believe that? i do. it gets tough in a relevant testifily short period of time. it isn t something that happens at midnight tomorrow night. it s something incrementally where we are bringing in 60% of the money we re spending. over time it could squeeze these accounts down. over time could be days. weeks is how i estimate it. american people want to understand right now. this is go time. where do you stand? my stand is there s two things i would put on the table, and say let s go down one path or another. the first one is a balanced budget amendment to our constitution. not going to happen right now. you know that. not today. if that passed out of the house and the senate, it takes a two-thirds majority.
Admiral john kirby. in 2007, he didn t have nearly the paperwork problems that we have now. so he passes a security clearance, but while he s in the navy, this guy has a bunch of problems and yet the navy allows him to essentially leave the service with his clearance intact, making him gold to these contractors who are scrambling to get workers. the administrrative offense he was guilty of in the navy, these dereliction of duty, absence without leave, for work, was certainly not commendable offenses for a navy sailor don t rise to the level that would instantly call for a relocation of a security clearance. and do you know if the navy had access to his criminal arrest behavior? those are the forensics we re doing. that is exactly what we are trying to take a look at, through those brushes with civilian law enforcement, if we missed anything. so we are looking at that right
Still, anderson, for all of that. a relevant testifily low level. top secret is a standard 134. top secret is a high level. there is nor scrutiny and additional levels beyond that. but even for a secret level clearance, these things, the arrests should have been picked up. was this man suitable to hold, to have access and hold a security clearance? i think not. so the navy needs to understand why these, all these flags were missed. does it surprise you that this defense contractor didn t seem to have caught these other incidents? well, i think it s unusual. certainly, when you are hiring contractors, you want to make sure they are providing the most scrutiny. not just for the physical issues we saw yesterday where people were killed but also national security. the concern that somebody might be selling secrets to a foreign government or something of that nature, particularly when you are on a military installation. so those are absolutely the types of thing that should be given
