secretary austen testified a couple years ago, said he had no regrets. what do you make of that? >> it is shameful. they still touted as the most successful airlift in history. it was utter failure. abandonment of our allies, death of american troops, detriment to our reputation and no answers and accountability on the other side. the october 7th attacks, invasion into ukraine, the world recognized weakness for what it was. the external security was the tallow band. there was no actual plan for this under the biden administration, and the only person held accountable in those moments was a lieutenant colonel who stood up and said somebody should be held accountable for that. no one else involved has taken accountability for it. when that microcosm becomes the reality of the perception of the american military or commitment to victory and success, the world response to that. trumpets going to restore real deterrence by rebuilding our military and ending wars properly. >> we served in afghanistan. 75% of our nation's veterans disagree with how the withdrawal from afghanistan was ha

tottenham were only saved by brandon austen. irresistible. a team in form 1a for alexander spurs' slump has been alarming. to their credit, they never accepted their fate. brendan]ohnson so close to an equaliser. but theirfor brendan]ohnson so close to an equaliser. but their for those from newcastle, the cold it's a result that was delivered by alexandar isak, but newcastle's other goal dominated the postmatch debate, scored by anthony gordon but assisted at least in part by ]oelinton�*s hand. that provided ange postecoglou with just one of many frustrations, who said he was the angriest he'd ever been in his career, feelings made plain by his own post—match interview with the bbc, during which he repeated one particular phrase nine times. here's a representative example of his exchange with mark scott. couldn't ask any more. we would have won if things were equal. what was your take on your first goal with newcastle? i don't think there was much happiness on the bench. if all things were equal, we would have w0n today. what do

jane austen would — you know, going back — be one.t a tradition you like to feel a part of? i think it is, yes. i mean, i do think of myself broadly as writing in a tradition of english social comedy and that, you know, the books can veer wildly in tone and feeling and they can have very, very dark and difficult things in them. but there is probably something essentially comic when you get people together about the kind of social negotiations that people enter into with each other, and about conversation itself and the things which are not being said in conversation. and that has always fascinated me, and i think is probably rather central to... and it digs deep into sort of english obsessions with things like class. but... it does, absolutely. ..one thing you've done in our evenings which is different — and you talked about it a little bit already — in creating the character of dave win who is central to the story, you've inhabited a character who's not quintessentially english. indeed, he's half burmese, and that is interesting cos

and if you read jane austen, you know that emma woodhouse paints and lady catherine de bourgh is scandalized that elizabeth bennett does not paint. but the trumbull sisters learn to paint an embroider and their works were hung over the mantle in the parlor of the family house. and john remembered as a boy lying on the floor and drawing, copying them on the floor. the nicely sanded floor. what his mother thought of this i don't know. she she probably thought well of it. she seems like she was a warm person. his father didn't think well of it. he was a businessman and a politician . a public servant. he would become governor of the colony of connecticut and then of the state after independence. and he wanted his youngest son to be a lawyer. they had many discussions about this over the years. one of the last ones john tells his father, well, lawyers just deal with the vices of mankind but artists can depict the glories of their countries as the artists of ancient athens did. and his father said , that's a good argument. it shows you would be a good lawyer. but you've left something out. what i

i did so in direct support of secretary austen, who shares my concern over this most consequential competition. of course, competition does not mean conflict because no one should desire the global devastation such a war would bring. instead, we want p.r.c. leadership to wake up each day, consider the risks of aggression, and think to themselves, today is not the day and for them to think that today and every day between now and 2027, 2035, 2049, and beyond. deterrence is how we seek to prevent conflict, by deterring p.r.c. aggression against us and our allies and partners and key to deterrence is being able and willing to win when called to fight. but deterrence is often translated to a mandarin word that implies coercion, so i want to be clear, we are not trying to coerce or compel the p.r.c.. that is not our goal nor our approach, and that is not the only example of the words dot uses that we have learned the p.r.c. can misinterpret. perhaps a better way to describe our goal and approach is peace through strength. an ancient phrase, first widely introduced into the american lexicon of 1950'

what do 5 million man-hours in that first hour of secretary austen and president biden' administrations, what could those 5 million man-hours have been used for? mr. hegseth: senator, that is a lot of service members sitting in a lot of briefs, hearing about a lot of threats, or political perspective that might be dangerous that do not comport to threats that actually exist inside the force or ideas that introduce critical race theory or dei or climate change initiatives that they and their commands have to conform to. every time one of those happens ,it gets pushed down the chain of command. that includes new layers of leadership that have been created under this administration committed to enforcing those types of dei and crt initiatives. we hear 5 million man-hours, and it sounds like a lot. the more troubling aspect is how many training hours that takes away from a company commander or battalion commander or wing commander out there trying to maintain the force, which is already constrained because of what the biden administration is under the defense budget and defense capabilities
