tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  March 14, 2018 11:00pm-12:00am PDT

11:00 pm
have something to say? nice, mean, we don't care. 877-225-8587. before we go, my film, "let there be light" available on dvd. follow me on instagram. laura ingraham! by the way, i thought what katy perry did was fun, it was charming, it was very cool. i can't stand the faint, phony outrage. people are full of it. katy per? the sweet innocent little boy -- i want to wait for a relationship. it was like an assault on television. it was a little too much pressure. >> listen, he didn't have to walk over. it was -- she was being charming. >> he's -- hannity -- >> a big democrat. >> he's on national tv and he's a guy. he feels like i have to go over there and -- the thing that probably ran through his mind is when katy perry was going door-to-door for hillary. that's my first kiss?
11:01 pm
>> come on. i can't take phony outrage. get me out of this p.c. world. take over. >> laura: it's not p.c. it's gross. >> go to the hannity hotline -- >> laura: i'm going to call. i'm cancelling the show. all right, hannity. off. all right. good evening from washington. i'm laura. this is "the ingraham angle." another huge day of news. let's get to it. students hold political walkouts across the country advocating for gun control. i'm going to give you my take in just a moment. the media pounces on the president for dumping his secretary of state who just wasn't cutting it. where were they when obama didn't fire aides during, of course, and after the benghazi and an irs scandal? a report you don't want to miss on ms-13's rampage and how it continues. how president trump wants to eliminate the gang.
11:02 pm
and first, the protests honor roll. that's the focus of tonight's angle. with some curiosity, i watched students and left-wing politicians take part in a national walk-out to advocate for gun control today. >> what parkland showed us is this could happen in any one of our schools. and we as students can't take this anymore. >> one month after the high school shooting in parkland, florida, kids at more that 2,000 schools across the nation staged these walk-outs. don't be fooled into thinking this was some sort of organic outpouring of youthful rage. this was a totally choreographed event organized by a group called "empower." the youth wing of the women's march. thank god they didn't force them
11:03 pm
to wear the pink knit caps. leftists do know how to organize and protest. students organized by the thousands. who needs homework when you can get credit for screaming. oh, naturally they were enabled by a familiar cast of characters. >> people are sick and tired of gun violence and the time is now for all of us together to stand up to the nra. >> we're all moved by your eloquence and your fearless insistence on action to prevent gun violence. thank you for bringing your urgency to this fight, to the door step of america.
11:04 pm
>> laura: okay. look, you heard like take your child to workday. for the anti-trump, anti-second amendment crowd, this was make your student protest day. like there's nothing worse than people that use their kids to advance a political agenda. like many school districts, teachers and administrators and local politicians supported this walk-out. the demonstrations were supposed to last 17 minutes to honor each of the parkland victims. but some of these things went on for hours and sometimes they took on a festival, kind of party atmosphere. in new york, students marched on the, of course, trump international hotel and at the brooklyn borough hall. in d.c., you saw the clip. they gathered at the capitol and the white house. >> we will accept nothing less than comprehensive gun control. if it is what it takes, we will shame our national policy makers
11:05 pm
to protecting us. you know we have a moral problem in this white house. this is in our hands now and if any elected official gets in our way, we will vote them out and replace them ourselves. >> laura: that's nonpartisan completely. the mention of trump, just ignore that. goodness. so much for honoring the victims. this was nothing but a left wing anti-trump diatribe. peel it all back. it could have been written by anyone at move-on.org. many educrats supported the politicking, a few administrators and teachers had a better idea like the ones that called into my radio show this morning. >> as a conservative social studies teacher, i have mixed emotions about the walk-out. i did make time for the periods for the students to wake out and air their opinions. we had a good dialogue. i was surprised to find out that they understand that it's more than just gun control.
11:06 pm
it's more the mental health, parents needing to be present in their kids lives and to address the issue of bullying. >> struggling public schools did have walkouts. our parochial school teachers put together a program of a walk-in. they went into the churches and auditoriums and recognized the victims with prayer. >> laura: i really like that. think about that commemorating the lost, remembering the victims. prayer offered as a class. to me that makes a lot more sense than yelling into a microphone in front of soft government building. we're talking about students here. for anyone who takes the time to look at our academic standing in the world, students need more academics, more classroom time. not more hysterics. according to the latest pugh survey, american 15-year-olds rank 38 out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science.
11:07 pm
places like singapore, poland and macau beat us by huge margins. we need sit-ins like sit in class and learn. let's be clear. democrats are using these kids to whip up enthusiasm for the mid-terms, 2020 and beyond and for voter registration. it's theater with real world consequences. because i'm telling you, when these placards are trashed and the tv producers stop calling, johnny still won't read as well as the other countries and maybe not write as well or distinguish between a pollynomial and a poly wag. so if you want to protest, have at it. probably better after you graduate from high school. for now, your education and your studies are far more important than any march.
11:08 pm
even if the politicians and the activists try to convince you otherwise. that's the angle. the chicago republican party is filing a lawsuit over these walk-outs from the chicago public schools. to tell us why is the chairman of the chicago gop, chris cleveland and also joining us is g2 brown, the national director for the justify for justice alliance, one of the organizers of the walkout. great to see both of you, gentlemen. let's start with you, chris. the lawsuit has not been filed although you didn't file a complaint. what is the beef? these kids are just organically getting together and expressing their first amendment views. >> well, that's not exactly what the situation is though. the nature of our complaint with the inspector general's office is the teachers and the administrators were using taxpayer dollars to advance a
11:09 pm
political agenda. that's not just distasteful, it's not improper, it's improper and illegal. it's contrary to the school rules and illinois state law that says you can't write taxpayer checks to political movements. it's arguably a violation of the first amendment rights. there's kids coerced into doing this that might not agree. >> i understand the children that didn't want to take part in the walk-out were instructed to -- they could gather in a classroom. they didn't have to hear it or go to it. but classes were cancelled during this period of the school day. why is that good for the kids today who need frankly more classroom time and more focus on their studies? >> i think that we have to remember that one of the things that education has to be is relevant. so we talk about what makes good
11:10 pm
education, a curriculum that is rigorous a curriculum that is relevant and engages young people that is creative and inspires them. when young people have real world issues about -- like being afraid of being killed in their neighborhood or being afraid of being killed with someone bringing an automatic weapon into their school, that it is not about a partisan issue. it's about young people. i know the young people that i engage with that were passionate about letting their voice be heard during this time. there's young people from my community that have been working on issues like this for years. and i think, you know, have not received the support from mainstream media that young people from parkland receive. i know that this was not an issue of at least from the young people and the people that i've engaged with, this is not about young people being parroted or manipulated by adults. that's kind of insulting. we have to remember that there
11:11 pm
was a time when you know, you couldn't host a show like this. a time when i couldn't sit on a tv channel like this. it was young people that pushed the establishment to say this is what the moral issue of the day must be. we cannot -- >> so g2, i hear what you're saying. my concern is and my point in the angle was, the idea that this is just a bunch of students getting together and students -- to some extent, there were -- you have heartfelt views, i get it. it's not about whether you have the right to protest. it's about whether schools should be used to advance a political agenda and it is a political agenda that a lot of parents and a lot of students do not feel comfortable with and feel excluded from. i don't think jitu, you probably would have been all that thrilled if the march was an anti abortion march. that students were encouraged to attend, things sent around like this e-mail from an elementary
11:12 pm
school teacher in chicago yesterday. feel free to join from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. for a walkout. you're more than welcome to spread the world to tell family, friends and the media. sarah faller, a literary teacher. i don't think it was that agenda or a conservative agenda or a pro life agenda would have all of this from the mainstream media interviewing them, putting them on tv. do you think that? >> i will say if you thought that i was going to come on this show and say that this is a republican issue, then you're mistaken. i think the issue -- the failure to address the gun violence in the united states is a bipartisan failure. it's a failure by democrats or republicans. so for those who stood outside with young feel today, the work is not finished. >> laura: you didn't answer my question, jitu. i'm not even saying it's a
11:13 pm
republican thing. i'm saying it's political. if this were a massive push for a pro life rally nationwide pushed by the catholic church or other organizations that weren't political i do not think would have groups aligned with the teacher's union or other organizations cheering them on, a lot of kids are pro choice. why would you push that? there's been 55 million babies that were not born in the united states because of that movement. that's a lot of blood shed. i don't think a lot of people would be thrilled about that. so chris, you want to file a lawsuit perhaps. it does seem to be contrary to the policies that i've read in the chicago school district, but nevertheless, this is a very popular movement. i think jitu is right. gun violence is a big problem in chicago. we have a lot of lives lost and a lot of different solutions, not just grabbing guns but a lot of different solutions being embraced by students. >> well, i don't know that that is the case. what i'm seeing here is
11:14 pm
coercion. i'm seeing that the kids are being encouraged to fill out these posters and go out and protest and urge the congressmen to vote for stronger gun laws. the business they're not being coerced is absurd. kids in our elementary school -- i became attuned to this because i received an e-mail from our principal at our elementary school. kids ages in grades 5-8 were being herded outside to do this. you have 10, 12-year-old kids that are told if you don't want to do it, you can go sit in a room by yourself and your friends will be outside doing this. this is straight-out coercion and a left-wing agenda. it's crystal clear that it's paid for by taxpayer dollars and this is improper. >> laura: jitu? >> yeah, i think it's an insult to young people to say that in order for them to raise their voice in a way that it's passionate, that it's clear,
11:15 pm
that somehow they have to be manipulated by adults. i remind you -- >> come on. >> laura: they're kids, jitu. >> what 10-year-old kid is going to know how to argue this and understand the issue? they don't understand this issue. >> see, i think -- >> serious. >> i'm not in every classroom, but i will say this: the overwhelming majority of young people that you see speaking around the country, the young people in chicago who walked out of their schools and went to the mayor's office on a -- >> laura: aren't they supposed to be in school? aren't kids supposed to be getting skills to be adults and -- there's plenty of time for political activism, jitu. >> no school are young people together. i'm not advocating for daily walk-outs? >> laura: why not? >> when issues are critical and young people are screaming to us whether it's through gun
11:16 pm
violence in the street or gun violence in their schools and we're suffering from inertia, it's not our place to say whether they're correct or incorrect. >> laura: it's our place as adults -- wait a second. are you saying that adults do not have a role in guiding the actions of young people? is that what you're saying? >> i never said that. what i said is when adults have failed to address quality of life issues for young people and young people raise their voices up, it's not -- >> laura: they can do that any time they want. but not during the school day when other kids might not agree with the agenda. >> so do you think the people that worked at woolworths looked it when white children sat in and sat on the lunch counter -- >> laura: that is not a relevant issue at all. we're out of time. i get your point. i celebrate political activism.
11:17 pm
i think it's awesome. i think a lot of kids were excited and they think -- i get that. we're talking about -- >> that's not how you're presenting it. your discourse -- >> laura: no, no. jitu, it's a political issue. it's being pushed by political groups that have an agenda. democrat politicians that want to drive turnout. that's my point. not all political activism. this is a school day. kids have to learn. a lot of kids don't agree with it. that's intollerant to make all kids feel like they have to take part in this or they're not -- >> i know young people in chicago that did not walk out. nobody pressured them. nobody criticized them. >> laura: if it were a conservative issue being pushed, a lot of people would claim they were excluded and they felt like it was an intollerant atmosphere. that's why schools can't become political. people disagree on these issues. they're constitutional laws
11:18 pm
involved. i was 12. i didn't know that much about constitutional law, but maybe a lot of the kids do that i didn't know. guys, great conversation. we'll have you on for an hour. up next, apparently you're fired have become dirty words is. a double standard is the way the media is covering trump's cabinet liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. i just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. my insurance company definitely doesn't have that... you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪
11:19 pm
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
you know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet. when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party.
11:22 pm
>> laura: oh, the left and the lame stream media, total meltdown over the firing of rex tillerson. my question is, what took so long? president trump is looking for a cabinet that he says shares his vision. after 13 months, he know what's he wants. i don't remember hearing the press complain when barack obama didn't move to fair aides that were incompetent or just blowing it time after time like former hhs secretary kathleen sabellius. she wasn't fired. and susan rice stated falsehood about benghazi and she was given a promotion and the list goes on and on. and isn't this just smart organization? it's all coming together now. looking to analyze this now is richard goodstein, former
11:23 pm
hillary clinton aide and byron york from the washington examiner. great to see both of you. richard, i have to say i'm a little bit surprised that there's all this caterwalling about tillerson. he called the president a moron. he would never answer the question about whether he didn't or didn't. you know the president didn't like that. they didn't share the same vision on a lot of issues. what is the big deal? >> i think what the press is reacting to is the gutless way in which the president fired him. even his biggest defenders have to say to put out to a former ceo of exxon in a tweet -- >> now you like exxon. >> he's a formidable guy. he ran a global operation. in a tweet to communicate as he did frankly with reince priebus and his gutless way with james comey, he take presence saying your fired doesn't have the spine -- >> laura: that's what you're upset about?
11:24 pm
you remember how obama fired mattis? did he do it face to face? he didn't. he didn't fire -- mattis learned about it through the media. he did not know he was fired. never told -- that's general mattis. so this kind of, i'm so outraged, come on. >> general mattis was not in barack obama's cabinet. >> he was the head of the central command. >> he was not in barack obama's cabinet. tillerson -- what ceo is going to sign up to work for donald trump when they see rex tillerson dealt with like that? >> i wouldn't have fired him that way but he was by kelly friday that he was on. he knew that in africa. he knew that. i would have done it differently. fair criticism. that's a process deal. i don't know why trump does that, but he does that. mattis got the bum's rush treatment from obama, too. so is this a sign of chaos? we have other changes. looks like byron, they're coming. could this be too chaotic? >> first of all, you knew they
11:25 pm
would be first-year changes. everybody knows that. it happens in other administrations. this has -- this administration has had more changes than some of the others. there's no doubt about that. you know, i think what has happened is that trump has experimented in various places with bringing people in that had no governmental experience and people -- >> laura: how did that work out? >> sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. for example, he will be probably looking for a new national security adviser. you need -- >> laura: i get john bolton will get that. >> and he deeply understands how the government -- >> laura: look what he did at hhs. do tom price, well-respected guy, wasn't the best. he brings in alex azar, who was general counsel for bush, ran one of the biggest divisions for eli lilly. he has a lot of experience. it's a different -- he has a different approach now. looks like mcmaster will move out. move rick perry out.
11:26 pm
looks like ray washburn would be a fabulous choice in. and then move out shulkin. put perry in to shulkin's role at v.a. like shulkin was out there, you know, having fun in europe. what was that? he's a obama holdover. >> axios is reporting they don't know which end is up. the problem is who he is hiring. he's hiring a foreign agent to be his campaign adviser. if you google them, that's the problem -- >> laura: who are you talking about? >> paul manafort and mike flynn. that's the problem. who he brought in and how he's dismissing people -- >> laura: i'm sorry, byron. i think that it would be really good for him to bring in chris christie. and chris christie and trump have a really good relationship. sometimes it can be feisty. but christie has -- i know
11:27 pm
new jersey, a lot of people didn't like him. i think -- i still think it's christie's time. watch. >> here's my prediction. a lot of time left. it's going to happen. >> laura: he will get hired at some point. >> look at the examples that you gave. susan rice did some -- she told clearly false stories repeatedly on national television. lois learner, improperly targeted conservative groups. found in contempt of congress. and kathleen sebelius, the roll-out of obamacare was disastrous. so there's a lot of people that made some major mistakes and did not lose their jobs over it. >> laura: john kelly, i like general kelly. he might be a change. >> i cannot say that. everybody thinks where does he go? where does the president go for a chief of staff after that? >> laura: i think that's a tough one. great conversation.
11:28 pm
why is the vatican admitting to distorting letters of the retired pope? we'll tell you in the seen an unseen segment. that's wild. first, you won't believe how many ms-13 gang members are now in the united states, possibly taking over schools. taking over schools. yeah, that was in you ok there, kurt? we're about to move. karate helps... relieve some of the house-buying... stress. at least you don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. call geico. geico... helps with... homeowners insurance? been doing it for years. i'm calling geico right now. good idea! get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. most people come to la with big dreams... we came with big appetites.

11:31 pm
11:32 pm
>> laura: all right. the violent gang ms-13 unleashing new havoc. this time in houston. police say they arrested a member after he kidnapped a 14-year-old girl. the suspect led them on a high-speed chase across an interstate. this happened yesterday. went on for 30 miles. didn't end up in the suspect ran out of gas and surrendered. police say the kidnapped victim was not in the car during the chase and is okay. critics claim the trump
11:33 pm
administration is targeting ms-13 to demonize immigrants for importing crime. statistics do not lie. here's what "the new york times" says. there's now 10,000 ms-13 gang members in the united states. new reporting by "the washington post" over the weekend reveals how ms-13 is essentially taking over one high school in suffolk county, new york. the gang has committed 27 murders in the area, all since the illegal minors began arriving in 2013. joining us now, a man on the front lines of ms-13, jay lamb. he's been great on radio. the director of the northern regional task force. jay, the "washington post" is like finally really on to this. they're reporting on what is happening in long island, which is stunning. a parent of a young woman who was murdered by ms-13 two years ago came on our show recently.
11:34 pm
this is what she said. >> i'm feeling the loss of my daughter. i feel it every day. there's not a day, a second that i don't think about my daughter. and they just don't understand the pain of a parent losing their child to this gang violence. >> that was a mom, evelyn rodriguez. tell us, these were middle class, fairly safe communities. when i moved here in 1986. it's a different world now. >> absolutely. the influx of these gang members, ms-13 in the northern virginia area has just overwhelmed the resources in the area. the violent crime is unheard of unlike what anyone would expect to ever see.
11:35 pm
the violence with machetes. >> laura: machetes? >> that's their weapon of force. you can imagine the brutality that exposes to the body. >> when you see the results of this open borders, allowing these unaccompanied minors in the united states, we have 5,000 just in the new york area, 5,000 unaccompanied minors. as you pointed out before, they're prime targets for ms-13 recruiting, are they not? >> absolutely. we've seen that the last two to three years and the amount of violent crime being committed by juveniles, which we didn't used to see. there's been so many kids that have come into the community. they're scared to death, put in schools. some of them don't read and write. >> laura: in their own language, thank you. >> the gang members know this, they prey upon them, exploit the weaknesses, lack of a family structure, relationship issues. they exploit all of it.
11:36 pm
>> only 4% of the minors that have come in during the obama wave, only 4% have been deported. when this happened, you remember what obama said. you cannot stay here. that was his comment but everybody stays here. so we have thousands on thousands of minors rolling around the united states, some with sponsors, some with not. not all of these are gang members obviously. let me show you what is happening in texas with this high-speed chase. the texas public safety commission has listed the most lethal gangs in texas. this is last july. the report that came out. here they are. tango blast, another gang, the latin kings, been around for years. texas mexican mafia. and ms-13. okay. ms-13 is number 4. deadly because of the cartel membership and the cartel connection to these gangs. tell us why that drives the violence. >> well, ms-13 started because
11:37 pm
they were protecting themselves from the mexican mafia. now they worked with the mexican mafia because the cartels are pushing the drugs across the border and they're working together, mexican mafia, ms-13 and outlaw motorcycle gangs to distribute the drugs throughout the united states. >> laura: so drugs are a huge part of this. how big is human traffic something. >> it's large. it's difficult to prosecute. most of the girls involved are brainwashed and they don't see themselves as victims. it's a hard case to prosecute and to investigate because of that reason. >> laura: how do the police who many times are understaffed, overworked, underpaid and going up against one of the most brutal gangs in the world, not just -- in the world. >> it's difficult. >> laura: so ridiculous this is happening. these beautiful parts of the united states. suffolk county, bedroom
11:38 pm
community in new york, northern virginia, maryland. this is like middle class safe communities. >> it's a fact, ms-13 is the fastest growing gang in the united states. the propensity for violence is very high. >> laura: and by the way, president trump called them out over the weekend in pennsylvania. i'm glad he did. keeping that issue front and center. thank you, jay. keep up the great work. up next, a "washington post" columnist advocates aborting children with downs syndrome and the vatican is misrepresenting a letter from pope benedict to the media. who is happening there? we'll explain
11:39 pm
11:40 pm
11:41 pm
11:42 pm
>> laura: team for the seen an unseen segment where we expose what is going on behind the cultural stories of the day. here now to fill us in, raymond aroyo. raymond, let's start with this columnist with "the washington post." ruth marcus who used to focus on politics and now she wrote a column if she had a downs syndrome child, she would have aborted the child. >> the title was "i would have aborted a fetus with downs syndrome, women need the right." it's terrifying. she talked about when she had two pregnancies and she took the downs syndrome test. she writes, i'm going to be blunt here.
11:43 pm
that was not the child i wanted if it was positive. that was not the child or the choice i would have made. you can call me selfish or worse, but i'm in good company. that evidence is clear that most women confronted with the same unhappy alternative would make the same decision. as you can imagine, people are terrified and horrified when they read that. >> laura: so all the kids that are amazing angels who are kids with downs syndrome and whose changed families and -- yeah, it can be -- it is challenging. how do you that feel after reading that? >> that was not the child i wanted. what other children don't you like, ruth? what other qualities or genetic -- >> laura: that's coming. what if you screen for cancer? i had breast cancer. no, we don't want that one. >> you can screen for eye color, screen for sex. hair color. what if you don't like though attributes? >> laura: and future political designation? >> i don't know if they can test for that yet.
11:44 pm
>> laura: that is coming. keep her out. >> any one that spends time with children with downs, they have a capacity for love and empathy. ruth marcus needs to spend more time with them. she might learn something. >> laura: what is going on, five-year anniversary of pope franc francis. >> on a competing necessary work. >> laura: i remember your face. you were surprised. >> i was. >> laura: what is going on with this p.r. campaign that seems to be launched by the vatican five years later? >> as you're seeing this is footage from a new documentary, called "pope francis, a man of his word". >> laura: do you have to say that? you're the pope. >> the documentarian was recruited to do this by the vatican. why is the vatican funding a film about their boss?
11:45 pm
they are. it's a -- the pope talks about his ecological concerns, the concerns for the poor. why five years later? some say this is to protect the pope from criticism which he has encountered because of the changes to church teaching, practice and doctrine. that is a big concern. >> laura: when benedict and john paul wrote their biographies and -- they were huge sellers. >> i'm told he's not had a "new york times" best seller yet. >> laura: that's odd, don't you think? >> the vatican is embroiled in its own difficulty. the news came out. a black eye for the vatican. there was a letter they released from pope benedict affirming that pope francis and how are in continuity. >> laura: so no doctrine is changing. no change coming. >> did you see the letter?
11:46 pm
they smudged out the end of it so you couldn't read what was next. what people don't realize, the 11 books of theology that you see on the right-hand side of the screen, this was designed to bolster pope francis' theology. and now they're saying we're in continuity. if you read the rest of the letter, it said i don't have time to read the books so i can't pass judgment. turns out, they misrepresented what pope benedict said. >> laura: wait a second. for all the people watching out there, you're not catholic, you're like what is this about. da vinci code stuff. you have -- >> not that bad. >> laura: you have two popes. okay? you can't have two popes. you had -- we had one. >> one resigned and one retired. >> laura: that is always going to cause a problem. you're dealing with two popes. >> doesn't cause a problem if you don't need the former pope to vouch for you.
11:47 pm
apparently the vatican feels it would help pope francis -- >> laura: can i get in a separate topic that we -- we're going -- i'm going to do this in the next segment. i want your view. hollywood is trying to cleanse itself of harvey weinstein completely so they're doing these inclusion writers in contracts, production contracts. they have to have -- represent people of all backgrounds. so people with disabilities, different ethnescities. i had to get your take on that. the hollywood stars think they found the ticket to solve their problems. we'll tell you the latest and it might make films even more wacky
11:48 pm
might make films even more wacky than they already are
11:49 pm
we had long deployments in iraq. might make films even more wacky ti'm really grateful that usaa was able to take care of my family while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. see how much you could save with usaa by bundling your auto and home insurance. get a quote today.
11:50 pm
