i do not believe that people recognize the moment we are in with the united states military right nowb, what i have been told in the military is more than any other place in and around this country, it doesn't matter your gender, it doesn't matter the color of your skin, it's a meritocracy as pure as it gets. is that the military you remember slipping away day by day. the more i read up on this and make my personal platforms about come batting this sort of far left shift in the united states military right now i got my stock woke research team on a lot of this stuff going on in the military and the stuff that i'm getting back is really shocking me. i hope we can speak more about this in the future. i don't think we are paying enough attention to this. i appreciate you guys for always bringing focus to the united states military. >> brian: we tried to save those 1900 with the vaccine with admirable kirby and he wouldn't hear it. now we find out that's exactly how the soldiers felt. they told him to go take a walk. we don't need you. rob smith, thank you. appreciate law are doing. meanw

asking anybody what they are affiliated with or sexual orientation is but if you look at the united states militaryright now we are mocked because leadership in the pentagon and joe biden led us down a road where we have decreased lethality and made the world a dangerous place. >> the di approach to get recruits and, is it making it harder to keep people in? does it have to do with the numbers? >> you can have the most capable military in the world but if our enemies don't believe it is lethal focused on defeating them they don't believe you have a commander-in-chief to unleash them that's one reason you see the world on fire. derek and i served together in afghanistan, we were on missions together and never once will be counting how many hispanics, african-americans, jewish christian, race, religion or any of thought in the black helicopter in the middle of the night. we were focused on mission, putting bullets on forehead and the bad guys defending this great nation and that will be have to get our military leadership. this is in the soldiers, this is the political leaders in our pentagon literal

this is no institution -- there is no institution in this world i honor more than the united states military. i am thankful to every veteran in this country. i also with a tonight note that i respect my colleagues' strong pro-life voting record. the republican party has been the pro-life party for half a century. we ought to be proud that we stand for life. we stand for the most vulnerable of our society, the unborn. i know my colleagues here share that conviction. the disagreement we're having today is about tactics. so let me explain why i'm doing this. how we got here and where we go from here. nine months ago the pentagon announced that they would start using our taxpayer dollars to facilitate abortion. let me say that one more time. nine months ago, the pentagon announced -- announced -- by memo that they would start using our taxpayer dollars to facilitate abortion. the pentagon is now paying for travel and extra time off for servicemembers and their dependents to get abortions. congress never voted for this. we also never appropriated the money for this. there is no law that allows th

it's estimated by the end of this year, 89% of all general officer positions in the united states military will be affected by the current holds from senator tuberville. either they are-- our members have to be forced to retire, positions not filled, and acting capacity will be unable to retire. this is pretty much the entire officer corps. this is hugely disruptive to readiness, mr. chairman. a couple examples, 288 one and two-star generals held. these are the men and women who run the military right now. we're going to talk about other places, the first marine expeditionary force, third marine expeditionary force, these are the war-fighting of the marine corps. the 7th fleet in the taiwan force, the 5th fleet fighting force in the middle east. it goes on and on, naval deputy three-star chair empty. deputy u.s. centcom commander empty. the head of the navy nuclear program, the head of missile defense, all nonconfirmed. we have a big challenge, mr. president, right now. let me be a little more blunt on the issue of morale. the military has a huge readiness and retention problem. these hold

united states administration. osama hamdan said the united states and israel have based this allegations against hamas. he underscored the israeli military's failure to provide substance. evidence to prove hamas operation under the shifa hospital complex. hamdan also examined the footage israel's military has put on the internet. the senior mass official accused the regime of propagating on true stories about this bloody war on gaza. handen mentioned several cases of such israeli propaganda. in one of the cases, an old palestinian man was killed after israeli media showing him being helped by the regime soldiers. hamdan also said the military wing of hamas has been successful in damaging or'. destroying israeli vehicles. the kosam brigades have succeeded in destroying and inflicting damage on 33 vehicles. over the last 48 hours, hamdan said brigades, the military wing of hamas continues this operations. issued a statement saying that in 24 hours it destroyed a building where is soldiers were hiding in, the soldiers were either killed or wounded is said. but palestinian people are able to outlast the israeli offensive on the gaza strip and

lebanon and palestine, the resistance group. have become more powerful, the iron dome and the united states military other way, the israeli regime cannot even survive for three days without foreign aid and support, the blows israeli regime has received since 2006, and the situation it is trapped in show that israel is not prepared for a long full-scale war. moreover, israel has no common border with the islamic republic. the geographical distance between haifa and the iranian border city of mehran is over 1800 kilometers. and the regime would have great difficulty if possible at all to dispatch. its forces to the iranian borders. the regime may conduct air strikes if it manages to pass over the skies of countries such as syria and iraq which have close ties with tehran and if it manages to pass through iran's defense system. this is mr. mehdi horsant an iranian expert in international relations. he thinks the israeli regime will rud a day if it takes military action against tehran. how probable do you think that iran and israel will have a direct confrontation? and lowely group with no significant s

what is your assessment of the united states extending both military? and financial support to israel, in my perspective, the united states no longer occupies the zenith of economic prows, rather with the emperotor of nato, it metamorphoses into a military colossus. nato, in essence, has evolved into the veritable eags of the us defense department, as nations that were one's superpowers receed from the pinnacle of their dominance, they often resort to violence. military interventions, the establishment of military bases, the perpetration of massacres and the harrowing specter of genocide, the riddle of israeli authorities transmuting into instruments of subservience to the united states remains an enigma beyond my grass. europe too find itself inextricably and meshed in this tapestry. it is my conviction that europe should extricate itself from the shackles of colonialism. our disparities non-withstanding. there are those who seek theoretical resolutions through military interventions, yet the path to peace for nations lies, not in the arena of armed int

united states? i still keeps saying that i feel like the united states military was expected to do more. yes, you can put our warships out there, but you continue. what is the red line before the united states really gets involved in this besides, i mean, like you said, our soldiers have been fired upon. is it going to take flag draped coffins coming down from the region before we we do more. and i, you know, with, with, with the decision ministration, you never know, i would like to of size that i would have hope that we would have done more already . that we would have sent a blank message. and our response to the 1st missiles that came for the to the 1st time our barracks were ahead, you know, rack and in syria to the 2nd time to the 3rd time to the 4th time. and we've elected to do nothing. i mean, your guess is as good as mine as to what it's going to take. but i think i think that if they push too far, and if his beloved does get involved, i think you're going to see that it's going to evolve into a, a larger scale war. and, and with i, i know mike called for a long time. i, i alway

what did it mean for black women at that time to wear united states military uniform? i think it symbolized rebellion because it defied social norms for a woman to being in the military, let alone a black woman. the 6888 received the congressional gold medal not because they were black women, not because they were women, because they accomplished something that no other unit could accomplish, which i heard someone say they were set up to fail, but they stood up and delivered. i'm alexis clarke, for matter of fact. next on matter of fact, young people scrolling instead of socializing or sleeping. that's a terrible formula for mental health. what this psychology just thinks social mia companies should do to help. plus, schools need at least 55,000 teachers could the students actually be the solution? and jimi hendrix walking in london, james brown just off stage in tennessee. aretha franklin with her father as we show you the giant undertaking to preserve decades of treasured glimpses of the past. you're watching matter of fact, america's number one nationally syndicated

mistaken, china china in one line... in order essentially stopped the communication between the united states military and their chinese military, or can it be considered this is a return at least to zero from such a big, big minus? well, if we take the reference point last year on november 22, when there was a meeting in bali. in principle, i think that they are leveling the situation to that level now. she has already become quite emotional, and what was shot down by these so-called spy bullets, of course, these were already american reactions to china's quite active activity in the usa, in acquiring additional technologies there, as the chinese do it all over the world, and they decided for themselves in a bilateral trade plan question, china agreed to purchase... i don't know the number, but for sure more than a hundred american boeings, and accordingly, the usa will sell to china at normal market prices, in particular, agricultural products. in the economy, the two sides reached solutions, as far as military issues are concerned, they did not have such deep military cooperation , it is about thre

the air force of the state of israel, as they call it, that's doing the bombing, uh, the united states militarynd weaponry and everything else, including the actual outright military assistant of the us with two carrier groups, ground troops and people directing the targeting for all of their weapons, weapons bought by the taxpayers of the united states, looking at that $14 billion dollars from the other side, it's the us giving the state of israel, 5600 hours for every man, woman and child in gaza to murder them. and yet, i mean these numbers are not, it's not heavy mathematics, you don't need einstein or newton to calculate, this is a simple arithmetic, the numbers are published here, but for some reason it doesn't register with the people, because no one talks about it as part of the public narrative, what's spoken about here is what happened to the jews in germany uh, in in and poland and and ukraine and other places it from 1939 or 1933 to 1945, um, no. mentions of course that the united states and the and the uk did not allow jews escape that fate to come here, and they don't mention the

for military families and reduce training and create a long list of other hardships for the united states military. as threats like china and russia continue their provocation, we must avoid these failures at all costs. as an appropriator, i know how imperative it is that congress passes the 12-r appropriation bills as soon as possible. i strongly urge support of this bill. and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time and the gentlelady from texas reserves. the gentlewoman from connecticut is recognized. ms. delauro: i yield three minutes to the the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the distinguished gentlelady from connecticut for her leadership as former chair and ranking member to my good friend from texas as well and i think they are completely accurate left to their own devices we could have an appropriations process that could work. let me thank chairwoman delauro for laying the groundwork for the crisis we are now in. the democrats have

china is concerned about the united states' military maneuvers near its waters while conducting its own exercises around taiwan. the us wants an open military dialogue to prevent any incident that could potentially turn into a conflict. the last sidzinpins of joe biden met one year and one day ago at a ball. therefore , today's negotiations are already a potential success, even if this meeting does not have substantive results. these furry diplomats have lived at the washington zoo for decades and were recently returned to china by pant. beijing has traditionally given animals to allies as a symbol of friendship, but then pantwit... ruled home, these two states may not be enemies, but they are certainly not friends these days. panda diplomacy is what china does, it has a monopoly on pandas, it is a chinese national treasure. beijing does not sell them, but rents them out, often for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, to its friends. and after beijing took away the washington pant in the united states, the pomant remained only in atlanta, and they should be returned to china at the

the recent years, at least, the united states has announced the deployment of the summary into the eastern mediterranean orchard. what we call in the united states military terminology, the central command structure. and it's been announced publicly the as a deterrent to say here is another big stick that is potentially the is there for potential use. and that message is sent directly to t. ron saying, do not expand this crisis, be on the horrors going on in causal adults. around one of the so called acts of resistance countries, the need to believe that the best threat is credible for that the parents to work. of course, this is always the, the fuzzy, murky, or aspect of deterrence, is that the, the, the, the potential opponent tears to believe that you, the person announcing the deployment will actually use the, the tools or the weapons that are being sent. but the, in this instance, the messages have been particularly explicit, repeated direct from the top us, and the leaders and the deployment of resources, the military capabilities has been there pretty noticeable, pretty strong. as we're talking about us military, what can we of course, being used

. >> the united states military presence in the middle east, do you think that is enough of a deterrent? >> what we are trying to do is send a strong signal that we stand with israel and this does not need to escalate. the stories you have heard and many others are staggering what they are doing to innocent civilians and as we said, good versus evil, the u.s. stands with the good and israel and the show of force is intentional and appropriate. i'm not going to tell you what the cr will entail but i will tell you we are urging consistently and appropriately to get israel finished, it is a necessity. some colleagues took issue with the pay forward that we put in there but we can take care of allies and obligations and get our house in order. we have a 33 point $6 trillion federal debt. the treasury department said one week ago we will need to borrow more than 1.5 trillion dollars over the next two quarters to keep our government in operation and we have to do these things simultaneously and i believe we can so we are urging support. >> can you tell us more specifically a decision on a cr?

what's happening, they don't know the truth, and they're sitting ducks, i think of course the united states military has always been a strong force, but we're so spread out, we've been sending arms to ukraine, now we're helping the israelis and can we really fight a war of against people who want to fight for their freedom and lives, i don't know, we who's how we motivated, i feel like our troops aren't going to be motivated. the the the idea of america's falling apart, what are they fighting for anyway, and we're seeing this among the ranks, in fact i saw an email, i forgot what the general's name was, he he was concerned that people aren't the troops are have, they're not interested in these fights, so that's a good thing, so are we going to be able to defeat uh the resistance that you're speaking of, i don't believe so, mean we couldn't defeat the afghanies, we couldn't defeat um even the vietnam, the vietnamese would in there, america hasn't really won anything lately, we've just destroyed stuff, extracted. resources and then left uh everything in a disaster, so uh, i think that um, unfortunatel

these two men at the start of world war ii were the only two black officers in the whole united states militarycreate the tuskegee airmen, and so many more things. but their story had never been told. and it was my passion to go out and write it. >> charlamagne: that's right. [cheers and applause] going back to "red tails" for a second, why do you think a lot of military movies struggle with getting history right? >> i think the challenge with "red tails" is that when people look at it, they feel it is true american history but it is actually just a facade of that. it actually is an amalgamation of the stories. and not paying the families and using different fictional names allows you to have a little bit more with the storytelling. but then, the families feel a certain way because this is how people recognize the story, yet the families aren't compensated. and the stories that are actually happening are never really told. >> charlamagne: it is a way to not pay y'all. >> yeah, yeah, it's a way not to pay us. [laughs] >> charlamagne: did george lucas or the writer interview you when crafting the
