national guard. now chief sund had made several requests in that day, those had all been turned down for one reason or another through leadership. once shots for wire -- one shots were fired in the capitol even leadership determined we may need help here. so an official request was made to d.c. national guard to be deployed to the capitol. now let me put things in perspective. the outer perimeter on the west front of the capitol was breached by rioters at 12:53. seven minutes to 1:00. president trump was still speaking at the ellipse at that time when the outer barriers were breached. it wasn't until five hours later that the national guard arrived. so we do know there was an initial delay here. but at around 2:30 in the afternoon the official request was made to the pentagon. after that request was made at 2:30 it was still almost four hours before the national guard arrived. now, just like our national guard in our state, the d.c. national guard, one of their predominant roles is civil unrest. in f

sandra was pointing out a moment ago that a c17 full of supplies run by the national guard, and i don't know if that is the national or if that's the state organization delivering 100,000 pounds of supplies to folks out there in the western part of the state. >> that is the north carolina air national guard. it is our own 145th c17 and they flew that in, that 100,000 pounds about two hours ago. that is in addition to 97,295 pounds that we have been flying in by helicopter since saturday. >> john: how great is the ne need? >> we are still discovering how great the need is. you have laid out how hard the communications have been but one of the great things that we have is our national guardsmen are embedded at the local level working with the local first responders and emergency management. north carolina emergency management with folks who know the terrain, they know the needs and those needs are passed back up. we are doing search and rescue along with commodity delivery like food and water. as communication is restored and we have met gotten into some of those hard-hit areas, we are st

captain of the national guard, we congratulate you. glory to the hero, good day studio, good day tv viewers, thank you for the opportunity to join your broadcast, and actually, if you allow me, i would like to take this opportunity to say a big, big thank you, actually now my brothers and i are standing near four cars, and maybe you remember that more than a month ago you other tv channels, ukrainian channels, ukrainian mass media, in particular your channel, helped us to collect... more than a million hryvnias for artillery reconnaissance vehicles, in fact the vehicles have already been purchased here in ukraine, they are already with us in soldiers of the defense forces, soldiers of the fourth brigade of the national guard and will work for artillery reconnaissance, for uav crews who will scout enemy targets, adjust artillery fire, illuminate each gap, and in fact, this is a special big thank you ahead of the fall-winter season, when in the squad. .. logistics, the weather conditions, the state of the roads, swamps, etc. are becoming

what are repsystems needed for the rubizh national guard brigade? mr.odymyr, please tell me about uah 1 million do you want to collect what these rap systems will do, how much they make life easier for our military? actually, i would like to thank you for urging ukrainians to support the defense forces, to every ukrainian who also supports the defense forces, thank you. indeed, in conditions when there is still good visibility, there are still flying conditions, the season of fogs and rains has not yet begun, it is extremely important to have rebs, these are means that actually cover the infantry from other means and mortars, and in general the power of defense against risk get under the sight of an enemy drone, and we understand that all copters... are controlled by radio communication from the remote control at different frequencies, it is already there with different power, with different principles of analog or digital operation, but in any case the common thing is that there is radio communication, and reb systems are those systems that create radi

that's the national guard, that's florida fish and wildlife. that's all the assets we had available to help support these rescue efforts. and all the calls that any state officials responded to last night, we were able to find the person or people or -- and pets and bring them to safety. so that's a contrast from some of the things that we saw. it's still early. they are going to have those folks who were responding to those calls. they'll do broader search and rescue in those areas that did get hit with significant storm surge and see if there is any other problems or if there is any folks that are still left behind. as of now we don't have reports of that. so those missions were successful and those missions saved a lot of lives. i want to thank all the first responders. folks working for the sheriff's departments. fire rescue. all our state assets. everyone was ready to go. it made a big difference for what was really historic storm surge in different parts of the state. we have currently as of 6 a.m., 1.24 million accounts without power thr

for this, this is certainly not true, and trump, as a reason for the national guard to appearg cities, you know, it seems to me that here the process is going the other way around, they are using the situation with trump in order to take control of the cities, not because something will happen if trump suddenly goes to jail, maybe it is... something like that, but it is just now beneficial for them to really start gradually taking control of the cities, the elections are approaching, the situation is unstable, and this is exactly, by the way, a scenario that has been implemented in a huge number of american films, they are now just because, and you know, americans often hollywood shows, and then it all comes true, oh, why not, yes, everything can be, in fact, the elections promise to be fun and under control. national guard, that is, the troops are already on the streets, but in general it would be better if they, in my opinion, took care of their infrastructure, today is friday, so right after the train commercial, your father is a scoundrel, buralny bastard, bastards, decent

we expect that oleksiy hetman, a military analyst, a reserve major of the national guard of ukraine,eteran of the russian-ukrainian war, will be in touch. short, probably, it is worth outlining what we will talk about. first of all, even our broadcast on youtube today is called, if i'm not mistaken, nato reaction, that is, we will talk about the fact that more and more often on the territory of the countries that are members of the north atlantic alliance, in the sky, or on the ground, there are. russian drones, as it turned out in latvia, and you remember the last information, it was in this country that a russian drone was located, in latvia the drone was with explosives on board, that is to say, i am not talking about romania, moldova and poland, almost on a regular basis, not only drones, but also missiles, i don't know who is next, it's definitely worth talking about it, but first of all about the situation in... we will of course talk about it right away, now it's our as the first guest, it is already traditional for us oleksiy hetman, military analyst, reserve major of the nat

at the start of the final stage for the northwestern and central districts of the national guard troopsuding among the representatives of the legendary vitis center, more than 80 people came out. the obstacle course requires incredible physical training. a twelve- kilometer forced march in full combat gear, weighing about 20 kg, through water obstacles on steep slopes, and also a fire-assault course. the military-political situation in the baltic region and the protection of russia's national interests in the world's oceans were discussed at a meeting in kaliningrad. it was held by the presidential aide, chairman of the maritime collegium nikolai patrushev. at a meeting with the command the baltic fleet paid special attention to combat training issues, as well as ensuring the safety of russia's maritime activities. in addition, the participants developed proposals related to the strategic development of the navy. today, workers in the nuclear industry celebrate their professional holiday. the industry employs more than 350,000 people, and it is developing dynamically, despite the sancti

the mayor and the governor of the state the site to use the national guard in the uprising by the nationaluard shoots up campus issues up dormitories that have students in it. this is a picture of bricks with bullets in it from a dormitory there's a memorial. they also brought helicopters in. this is a time the national guard is being brought into this student led uprising. we think about kent state. but we don't think about this kind of violence been using in students and hbcus. kind of government if he is using activism. and so it ended that way. they were able to walk in and graduation but one student is killed and to this day they do not know who killed him. his name is lumet right now. part of the activism is the level of violence increase. that is occurring at this time. and so it is in that she is a first year student and bennett colleges after the uprising. she becomes part of nelson johnson and his organization for poor people they are into like fighting, providing food and different resources for greens community she joins the group and organizations. they become more radical ove

he used to be acting vice chief of the national guard bureau. thank you for being with us this morning. why did you decide to sign on to this letter? >> well, first of all, all my entire life i have been very apolitical, not only of course required because i was an active duty general and also a national guard officer, it's something where every since 2016 where i have seen what trump has done, how he has treated people, how he has dealt with crises, i have been just absolutely opposed to such a very dictatorial strongman bully type of a leader, and so it was easy for me to add my name to this list of those ten officers and ncos. >> general, what is it about donald trump that you believe disqualifies him from being president again? >> so there's two things, and the first thing i'm going to do is appeal to every single veteran and military member that's watching this as well as the parents of veterans, the brothers, the sisters, the spouses. never before, not once in our history has there been an american president who has quite frankly called ou

to end the national guard and shoots up amcey campus andhbcus and in orangeburg, south carolinat kind ofit government his name is eluding me right now. part of activism is the level of violence inn the grief. they get an organization through pushing for bcu and they have black mondays in the local communities and stay in black schools. she becomes part of that activism and it's speaker johnson and that was a veteran of the military and he comes up with the student and he's the older student and so they become members of the communist party. and they're a part of the labor movement in north carolina and working foror the industries and works in cal sexual harassment and very dangerous kind of work. they're protesting and only coming on conflict with members of the kkk. happy project and telling the members of the kkk to come and members of the kkk and have a caravan there's videos of this happening and one ofnd the five people killed are sandy smith and she's trying to save black children from the middle of the shootout. racial animus and they're whitee and it's not racial animus

what happens if one is thinking of deploying the national guard in a particular state and that state is actually hit by an extreme weather event, extreme weather events are only growing in severity and frequency, and the national guard is deployed. we are not a single event department. we are not a single phenomenon government. there are multiple sources of pressure on our people, on our resources. let's be practical here. laura: talk about texas which is where -- secretary mayorkas: forgive me. i was speaking of operational reality. i was talking about prabg particular cality -- practicality, not policy. i didn't address the fundamental issue of whether that is good policy. laura: do you want to say whether or not it's good policy? secretary mayorkas: it is not good policy. [laughter] [applause] laura: we are in texas, and there's a lot that's been going in texas when it comes to border, as you probably well know. and it seems like texas is also instigating the federal government, stepping on roles that have long been the federal government's responsibility. just to name a few thing

new yorkers are reporting a huge increase in the number of national guard troops deployed throughoute reasons for the national guard's activation: the possibility of trump's imminent imprisonment, or the fact that new york city is overrun with illegal immigrants. both could have catastrophic consequences. our country is really on the verge of total collapse. which version do you like better? as far as i understand. with corresponding human victims, i mean the creation of a dissident movement on the territory of the united states, that is, with american money, the irony, the irony is that this is happening with american money. and all this, of course, brings us to the sad thought, about what we have already talked about here for a long time. the falling empire of the united states, it is dying, it takes on frozen, bronzed forms, now the american american state will not be ruled by freedoms, not by some parties, it will be ruled by bureaucracy, naturally a continuation of which is the repressive mechanism in the form of the national guard and all these security forces, yes, a falling e

the president is in charge of the dc national guard. not the house speaker joining me now is democratic house speaker emerita nancy pelosi. she's also the author the recently released book, the art power, my story is america's first woman speaker of the house. first of all, i'm just wondering overall what you thought of the debate last night because it does seem from maybe like ten minutes into it vice president harris certainly found a way to get underneath or under the skin of the former president in a way that very few people have in a public debate well, let's just talk about her rather than him right now, you can come back to his skin later but right now we're to talk about her leadership. i was so proud of her. she was presidential she showed her new way forward new and forward. her plan to take us forward command of the issues, eloquence and talking about them again, strategic and her thinking. i thought she was just spectacular, but her excellence did get under his skin. and it was so strange because one of the, one of the thing

would like to ask about the specifics of training. young fighters who enter your brigade, the national guard, because usually i have always heard that the period of training, you have a guaranteed three months of advanced training there, and this is sometimes more than now in the armed forces, is everything even then the training of soldiers , who come to the brigade already in the brigade itself, so that they really honed those skills, or heard advice from older, experienced comrades that will really save their lives and... allow them to destroy the enemy more effectively, well, as far as recruitment and mobilization activities for the national guard are concerned, it happens in the following way in our country: in relation to our brigade in the city zaporozhye is a point of permanent deployment, post-recruiting is organized in each district in tsnapa, that is, our representatives constantly communicate with all applicants, explain the conditions of service, specifics, conditions, with... tasks that assigned to the brigade, after that documents are sent to the military commissariat for appr

reports to the state's governors also, report to the national guard bureau in washington there really seems to be some lack of clarity here as to who is supposed to be overseeing these and ensuring that this that this these offenses and that these issues do not bubble up any further with leadership. and so with that, i think we're going to head to break fredricka one-on-one was overwhelming. the idea that this fictional character played any role in politics is it's bananas tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture. premieres next sunday at nine on cnn helped me get my money right to achieve my ambitions, like saving for a better swings loosening that grip money on my money and pay new account i'm investing in my game if i can help fund all your ambitions ambitious bank was so far to score a higher apy in an epic welcome bonus. >> so fine. get your money right to avoid digital threats. >> just turn on nord vpn you protection against strikers, malicious websites and malware written down loans get the deal now he's coming in the driveway my daughter is being treated for leuk

like to ask about the specifics of the training of young fighters who enter your brigade, the national guard, because usually. i have always heard that the period of initial training there is guaranteed to be 3 months, and this is sometimes more than now in the armed forces, does everything go smoothly after that, the additional training of soldiers who come to brigades are already in the brigade itself, so that they really honed those skills or heard advice from older, experienced comrades that would really save their lives and allow them to destroy the enemy more effectively, well, as for recruiting and mobilization... events for the national guard, this is happening in our country in the following way: regarding our brigade in the city of zaporizhzhia, the point of permanent deployment, post-recruiting is organized in each district in tsnapa, that is, our representatives constantly communicate with everyone who wants to, explain the conditions of passing the service, specifics, conditions, tasks assigned to the team, after which documents are sent for approval. to the military commissaria

national guard bureau on the importance of not cutting the air national guard i spoke with the candidate national guard, which would have directly cut about 80 jobs. would have affected the alaska guard's ability to respond to intercepts of foreign aircraft, we talked to them about the great job our air national guard does, the national guard in in general, not only for alaska, but also for america. the commander of the legendary international brigade pyatnashka, akhra avetsba, is on direct line with us from the kursk region, i am glad to welcome you, hello, you had such a. the duration of the war, probably, was reduced by half, this is obvious, because all the assistance that zelensky received recently, he directed it to the kursk direction, where we were able to utilize it without involving the main forces, but simply use it, since , for example, my unit, which was on vacation, without prejudice to its main direction, they simply took part of the unit there and transferred it here, which allows us even... to conduct rotations in the main direction, and not just sit there on the defensi

in the uprising, the national guard shoots up and campus. they shoot up dormitories. they have students in it. this is a picture of bricks with bullets, them from the dormitory. so anything has a memorial to scott's whole of it. they also provide, you know, helicopters in right. so this is a time where national is is being brought in to in this kind of student led uprising. right. and we think about kent state, right. you hear about kent state, but we don't hear about this kind of violence used against students and the national guard being against students. hbcu this also happens in orangeburg, south carolina, right kind of government. it's it is using to in well soon in activism. right and so they ended that way the students don't get they're not able to walk in graduation one student is killed and to this day they know who killed him. gregory i mean, we still his name is looming right now, but part of north korean activism is this level of violence and grief right that is occurring at this time and so it is in that that sandy really smith
