the 248th birthday of the marine corps. that is the reason why i think the marine corps is successful. we anchor on the history. i was able to celebrate a local cake cutting. i saw an article the other day services are looking how the marine corps retruths and train recruiters. we think all that is important. the messaging. we draw from the civilian population. you aren't born a marine. you start as a civilian and you enter, serve and transition back out. the military needs to continue to show the positive aspects of service to this nation and tap into that passion and desire to serve that so many americans have today. >> harris: that's a very good point. if the marines are doing something a little different we have to figure out what that is. some of the branches of military i read are looking at taking recruits up to the age of 40. they are seeing the younger numbers dwindle and age numbers. colonel hudson, thank you for the good work you are doing with the veterans. appreciate you. >> thank you very much for having us on

that commandant nailed the essence of the marine corps because the marine is everything. just wanted to say that there's a million things i wanted to say but -- host: you were mentioning your friends in beirut. caller: yeah. we had a person recently that was an american president who made a public comment. it's one thing that upsets me because i don't take it as a joke. i think is actually dangerous language. he made a comment to the fact that hezbollah is considered smart in his mind. has below, the people financed not only by the iranians -- hezbollah, the people are not only financed by the iranians but by russia. the glorious ronald reagan that everyone thinks is a warmonger, he took six months and attacked an insignificant caribbean island building a small runway and killed a bunch of civilians, and it made americans feel proud again. it's unnecessary that they have to do that. this is one veteran's take on it. i don't think that is smart. i don't think i want to love the leader of north korea. i don't think that language is funny, entertaining, and i find it very di

marine corps colonel, i know, we all know here in the senate, america needs to have our best players, more combat capable leaders on the field. and right now, that's not happening. it needs to change. mr. president, i just want to begin by saying something clear, you're going to hear this a lot. i'm as pro-life as they come. i strongly disagree with what secretary austin, president biden have done with their politicalization of the military on a whole host of fronts including the abortion policy which i think is illegal, violates the hyde amendment and i've been working with many colleagues, but especially senator tuberville from alabama, said by side for months trying to get this reversed, trying to get compromises. at the same time we've been telling the majority leader do your job, do your job, bring up nominees so we can vote on them. now, we've had to force them to do it. tomorrow we're going to be voting on the cno of the navy. member of the joint chiefs, the chiefs of staff of the air force. the assistant commandant and marine corps not because the majority leader brought them

you've got two deployments to iraq and crew chief in the marine corp..k you. reporter: tell us what this program is and was for you. >> yeah, they -- the boot campaign showed up and really helped me with everything from therapy to diet, nutrition, getting my sleep back on track, really helped me find a lot of help i wasn't finding in the va. reporter: how did you know you needed -- was there an indicator that veterans say this might be something for me? >> my best advice is reach out and look for help. they'll let you know if they can't help you as apart of the service. they'll help you diagnose and figure out what's going on. if you're wondering if you should reach out for help, do. reporter: how you doing now? >> much better. sleeping through the night and back working full-time and being a parent. reporter: you know, shelly, i think all the veterans you help are like very handsome and easy to talk to and all of that but to be honest, anything a veteran is struggling with seems like there's something out there. what makes boot campaign's program so eff

it really was the navy and marine corps that, actually, over the last century, built this town. danielle robay: so you're telling me that it's the eighth largest city in america because of the navy, not the perfect weather? the perfect weather has always been here, which is one of the reasons why the navy came here. the training that the navy and the marine corps has to do to deploy overseas is better done when the weather is good. danielle robay: just for scale, how big is this aircraft carrier? david: this aircraft carrier weighs 70,000 tons. and it's as long as three football fields. so if you stood this aircraft carrier up on its back, it would actually be taller than the highest skyscraper here in san diego. incredible. danielle robay (voiceover): but if you're looking for another slice of nautical history, a truly unique experience is a paddle on the water to the legendary sea caves in the town of la jolla. once hideouts for pirates and smugglers in the 19th century, today you'll find much calmer occupants-- sea lions and pelicans. the only way to get there is by kayak. an

project, and today we have an extremely unusual, partly even maritime, special report dedicated to marine corps great victories in the north, thanks to the marines , including the liberation of mariupol, berdyansk, melitopol, now the marines are actively fighting in the kherson direction and here they have extremely non-trivial tasks, in addition to the fact that they knock the enemy out of the tanks , they still need to hold the coastline here, we know that the enemy does not abandon insidious attempts to land and carry out various kinds of sabotage, together with my brother, ruslan khakiev, who himself served as a marine and liberated mariupol, we set off directly to the front line, and today we dedicate this issue to the legendary black berets, we cannot exclude landings from the sea, enemy landings, also sabotage groups that periodically climb local spits, the kinburg spit, others, such cases have been repeatedly recorded, so the entire coastal the line is literally dotted with our firing points, here, by the way, the specifics of the soil are extremely difficult, oh, the locals ran, mice,

special attention and the counter move, and so the counter move, and this was a film where the marine corpspresented together and next to the airborne troops, who remembers who found, and i found, the marines were brought out there so very calm , deeply, thoughtful, well, almost in zen, although at the same time they were very combat-ready, and the paratroopers were so, well, kind of crazy, like what is there to think about, and so on , here i have something from those since then, this attitude towards the marine corps has developed that this is something very basic. i hope this is so, in any case, all the marines i know confirm this, brothers, once again happy holidays, where you are, there is victory, on the sixtieth birthday of vladimir moshkov, please help yourself, what kind of events are these there? so the holiday is just around the corner, he’s one of those artists about whom you can say he didn’t have any passable roles, it’s impossible to play a feeling, he’s such an alphasonian, with a colossal amount of masculine energy, which of course he's rushing, i've saved up, let me realiz

marine corps birthday today. it started in 1775 during the revolutionary war.s the motto, meaning always faithful. today is an annual reminder of the brave men and women that are compelled to defend our country and our democracy and i love the shout-out earlier this hour from the general when he was talking about israel and iran and he said happy birthday. >> dana: when we lived in san francisco and his friend visited from england. 3:00 a.m. late because i didn't know we lived in san diego. they were downtown. it was the marines birthday and they were out with the marines for hours. it was a good time for them indeed. america's most popular sport teaming up. how the nfl is paying tribute to those who have received the nation's highest award for valor in combat. ♪ with fastsigns, create custom graphics that get tails and tongues wagging. ♪ fastsigns. make your statement. - [narrator] what will you do when the power goes out? power outages can be unpredictable and inconvenient, but with a generac home standby generator, your life goes on uninterrupted because you

so it's actually the army and not the marine corps that carries out most of the amphibious landings. example, the marines carried 15 amphibious landings in course of the war against japan. lieutenant general robert eichelberger, his eighth army alone, carried 35 in the spring in 1945. in the philippines alone. my purpose in mentioning this is actually to in some ways lionize the marine corps because, you know, it's when you a sense of this larger perspective, you just how incredibly valorous the marines were, what major contribution they made. there just weren't that many of them. they mobilized six divisions in the course of the war. then you've got about four times that much army combat power. so the marines, by were supposed to be a select and mainly focused on combat. the army dealing not just with combat, but also is these other vast tasks that had to be done in order to win the war. so 42,000 of these soldiers, guys, this you see here would survive the army really does the plurality of the dying. they were felled by combat disease, accidents, the terrible privation of captivity.
