hospitals, are chronically understaffed. but one of trump's first moves as president, was to put a freeze on federal hiring. that's when press secretary sean spicer, said the focus on staffing was overhyped. >> i think the v.a. in particular, if you look at the problems that have plagued people, hiring more people isn't the answer. >> seth: hiring more people is not the answer, unless the question is where are all the [ bleep ] people? [ laughter ] does anyone work here? i -- now the other issue -- [ applause ] the other issue with the federal hiring freeze is that veterans get preference when it comes to federal hiring in general. and according to advocacy groups, several veterans have already had job interviews canceled or postponed. some have even shared personal stories, like a 30-year-old air force veteran who'd recently returned home after a decade of active duty. he was supposed to start working at an agency that evaluates contracts for the department of defense. but thanks to that hiring freeze, the start date has be

as you know, the white house is understaffed, but that's understaffed, but that's okay with the presidentt now the administration has only one fifth of the staff and the personnel office that president clinton had while in office. that's fear people to handle hiring decisions while the smaller staff fits in with what president trump's vision of doing more with less. the government's massive and he needs personnel to make it work. >> it there's an old saying, penny wise is a pound foolish. if you you only have 18 people d bill clinton has over 100, it's going to take a lot longer for those names to get through the pipeline and get to the senate. that's why something like 96% of the positions in government subject to senate confirmation are unfilled. they. they have not even been named. if the president is going to get a hold of this bureaucracy that is fighting against him, he needs his own bureaucracy in place to do it. it's one thing to save money, there is places you do not want to save money and that is when you are filling your administration with your people. >> kelly: as i'm reading

one of the major problems what is it was chronically understaffed. there were not enough soldiers to man this fortification. life here was pretty easy. there were times some of the soldiers would go over the fence and go back home to bring in the harvest, and then they would come back in no harm no foul. that was until 1864 when rumors were building up there was going to be an attack in this area. they started clamping down on anyone going awol. this was the keystone to the entire river defense system. 1864,ame back december landed about two regiments onshore. pull a shipe would onto the harbor. everybody walks off nice and dry. here you have long boats. they denied have boats meant for landing on beaches. you had to jump over the side of these notes to splash into the surf. many of the soldiers when they were landing here are going to be popped over to the water. the waves would dump these boats over, throwing all of the debris, the men, their equipment out into the ocean where they have to pick everything up and walk ashore and wrongfully try to dr

secret service as an agency, it is sort of understaffed. their budgets are tightened, the employees moral is actually fairly low compared to other agency. hen we talk about this logistical nightmare as a former secret service agent described this we think about agency has to not be in one place, not just in washington or i can't say retreat lots of presidents have gone to in the have to be at maralago, have to be watching watching have to be trump tower. so, you know, these are extra they can't say no to, they can't short staff any occasions and move people around containing the same salary base. they have to pay more in overtime, they have to pay for people food when they go down to lorida and are away from their families. there are costs that come on when there is a number of travel expenditures at one time and those really add up quickly. gary, north om carolina, independent line. caller: yeah, hi. trying to short staff trump again is pretty cheap. it happens to be very expensive in this country frchlt getting on airlines now borders, to
