senator turberville needs to get with the times.t is about equal opportunity. >> senator turberville is claiming hiring for diversity hurts military readiness. he is staging a protest that has held up roughly 300 military nominees. what has the effect of that hold been on military readiness? >> the effect is we have leaders who should be in positions who do not have the authority to command. it has got a domino effect, maybe 300 nominations that have been held up. there are at least 1000 people, military leaders, who were affected one way or another. that is no way to run a world- class military. we have the greatest military in the world and doing something like that. something has got to move. senator turberville has gotten a lot of support back in his home state of alabama. that is why he is continuing to do this. at some point, the republican party and arms committee needs to overrule him and allow this to move forward. >>> still ahead, chaotic living in philadelphia last night including an apple store leading to multiple busine

along the lines of turberville, he's a college coach that the same thing that happened to title ix, right? cited 1972. you didn't get it active intellect and 75. why? because all the court challenges that they made it about football and not about higher education. equal education opportunities and that something we are still fighting for today is equal opportunity for the education system, for that network, for that edges and middle-class wealth. those are things we still need to look for. by letting football culture basically dictate the trajectory of the military as i think, works against us. >> if i could add quickly. one other thing that's important to note, the military is that a competition for talent. it has missed its recruiting goals pretty significantly for the past, i can't member the last outdated hit across the board, and so i think one of the most important things to keep in mind is that with a young person today is thinking about serving in the military they are looking for an environment where they can bring their whole selves to work and be who they are. of course the mil

senator turberville has -- attorney general merrick garland wednesday, has defended the justice department's handling of its criminal investigation into president biden's son hunter biden, who was indicted last week on three felony charges related to his possession of a firearm. special counsel david weiss brought the charges after a federal judge in july rejected a deal that would have seen biden plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts in order to escape more serious charges. testifying to the republican-controlled house judiciary committee on wednesday, attorney general garland insisted he has kept his promise to not interfere with the investigation. >> i am not the president's lawyer. i will add, i'm not congress' prosecutor. the justice department works for the american people. amy: in colorado, a court heard opening statements wednesday in the trial of two aurora police officers whose violent arrest led to the death of elijah mcclain in 2019. mcclain, a 23-year-old black man, was walking home from the store when he was tackled by police, placed in a carotid hold, and later injected w

annmarie: this was an interview two evenings ago, and the background of this is that senator tommy turbervilleminees. but they did file cloture, were able to get through three generals, the most important being the air force general who is now the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. joe asked him why he did not vote and he said, listen, i like cq, charles brown. i like this general, but he talked about a lot of things like race and wanted to talk about race in our military. and then he said "you're looking for the best of the best to do whatever. we are not looking for social justice groups. we do not want to destroy our military from within. let me tell you something. our military is not an equal opportunity employer go this is -- employer." u.s. history shows that actually the u.s. military is an equal opportunity employer. harry truman in the 1940's had an executive order to desegregate the military and talk about it being an equal opportunity employer. we did have a rebuttal moments later won south carolina congressman james clyburn joined us, and he said tommy to prevail -- said he has

this guy who called in about turberville is all this and all that, who cares? cares what kind of degrees you have or where you come from or the titles? that's what wrong with people now whether you are democrat or republican. i don't care. be patriotic, what happened to that? i wore my military united states navy shirts when i represent. i've got three people for the whole day and eyes outside all day on memorial day and i got three people who acknowledged to thank you for serving our country. out of the three people who acknowledged me, they had family in the military. once again, if you don't know what you're talking about and if you never been in the military and don't understand the format and the protocol, the giving of your life and not even questioning that and you come back to a country that doesn't even care. they don't care anymore and they have these people who represent you and they have their own hidden agenda. host: do you think they are going to end up with people leaving the military because of these holds on nominations and promotions? caller:

turberville has a legitimate policy concern and that's fine, but don't drag the military into it.have called publicly for senator schumer to move the nominees because i think there was some politics being played on that side as well. i'm glad to see that he has done that and we are moving people through but we have to resolve the bigger issue. >> i agree and we talked about it on the air. schumer wants to meet -- needs to move some of the service add periods as you said, this playing politics with people's lives in the military and -- which leads to your op-ed in the washington post. you talk about how they all volunteered and talk about how to save it. there is so many things to look at course for people watching the marine hit their numbers and nobody else. something that you brought about really shocked me. i knew it was bad but i did know it was this bad. when you were an army secretary in 2017, 71% of the 34 million young people could not meet the military's entry requirements mostly because of obesity, drug abuse and physical and mental health problems. that number is even h
