host: this is the columbia daily tribune, an opinion piece from a robert wilkie.line, veterans more than shopping. veterans day is a day of discount sales and other attempts to make it easier for americans with a day off to spend more time shopping. giving veterans 20% off is a small way to recognize those who risked it all to defend the pretty and it justice around the world and the department of veterans affairs is thankful, but there are other ways to say thank you to those who took the oath and i encourage everyone to take veterans day is a chance to learn more about the men and women who have worn the uniform of the united states since we first fought for our freedom in 1775. inwill now hear from richard north carolina. iller: i am calling because am a veteran and i go to the v.a. outpatient. i have seen in the last three years the v.a. fall apart. i have had six different doctors . every time i got a new doctor they changed my medicine and i have to fight to get back to where i was before. i just do not know why they had to rip the ba apart like this and cau

wilkie wrote that letter. my office is exploring this in its totality. i would like to note that 59% of the k2 veterans have submitted a claim for their service and in most cases the claims are related to those normal things that we see with people who have worked hard in the military and that is musculoskeletal issues. 20 people have turned in a claim that is related specifically to k2. i'm right now looking at the statistics with the va to find other answers and what are the things that are being put in its claims. i'm very concerned about any environmental exposure for any veteran and my office explores this study that's been done. >> my time is limited and i apologize my time is limited. i would say 52 reported, 500 self-reported by veterans and no action until this committee got involved demanding answers. you may have been very concerned that my question was why were you slow in responding and why did you not act on it before we made a request with questions in writing to you congratulate chairman for his constant attention on it but also i want to

the past 2 years criticised the prime minister of hastily signing a peace agreement with the full wilkie. they're also criticized him for what they call an unprincipled friendship with science. but many people say that given the proximity and close friendship between prime minister ahmed and the science of food, he would not an eye lid coming in support of the price of the prime minister with european. what does that mean for the to graham people's liberation front? it means there are some who wish to be treated too heavily armed and powerful enemies. but again, they cannot be ruled out with an estimated 250000 troops and an arsenal of weapons that have been stashed over a very long time. every possibility diplomats say that this could be a protracted war, something that's not going to be good for either. if you appear or the anti horn of africa for inside story, thousands of refugees have fled the fighting to neighboring sedan and they're still pouring in. despite being faced with dire living conditions, medical workers fear a lack of shelter and proper sanitation could create a health

people and they're always criticized him for what they called principled friendship with a sizable wilkie is just a matter of time now before eritrea fully gets involved in this conflict, according to diplomats. refugees crossed into the series have a bogan reports from the sudan, ethiopia border. hundreds of refugees continue to arrive here at the reception center. now the center is just about 2 kilometers away from the sudan. if you appear border in sudan and hundreds of refugees have been pouring in here in 200, a perception center with the number reaching up to mine 1000 just over the past few days alone. now most of them live in conditions like this out in the open with no shelter and no proper sanitation. and this is raising concerns among aid organizations here, especially medics. that this would create a health crisis. medics say that most of the people who are right suffer from chest infections as well as malaria infections due to exhaustion from traveling for days, skipping the fighting in the tigra region. most of the refugees will speak of the same horror saying that they have

a man name window wilkie. -- wendell wilkie. it was ironic in his own words during the campaign that eventually caused him embarrassment. speaking in boston, acknowledging the isolation sentiment of that area declared emphatically, "i have said this before but i shall send this -- say this again and again, your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." those words would soon come back to haunt him, as you can imagine. as something of an aside what an -- aside, but an amusing when i think, you have probably heard the story but i like it so much i want to tell you again. it is the story of roosevelt's pet dog, a scottish terrier. this is an example of roosevelt's good humor. i want to read you when he said. "republicans had been claiming -- republicans had been claiming that on a trip to alaska, roosevelt had left the dog and had sent a naval vessel back to get the dog. in one campaign speech, this is what roosevelt said. i was loved this speech. he said, "these republican leaders have not been content with attacks on

one of his republican rivals, wilkie, had written a book called one world and people thought, maybe we should have a world government and then there were isolationist's coming back out of the closet like robert taft saying, bring the boys home and let's wash our hands of what's happening in the world. vandenberg said no, we cannot do that but we better look after american interest as part of a global structure. and then vandenberg was an early advocate of dwight eisenhower. vandenberg and robert taft were friends and rivals for control of the republican party throughout the 1940s. the taft understanding was that what vandenberg does foreign policy untapped policy but tasked with more isolationist so he was always chipping away at vandenberg. while vandenberg supports a lot of task domestic policies, sometimes taft takes a harder line but in 1950, vandenberg it's back here ill but eisenhower is his hope for the future of the country and eisenhower's rival for the republican nomination in 1952 was taft. so eisenhower would later say that vandenberg was one of the people he most admired a

wendell wilkie. was ielt's main argument can manage the war. he can't. broken.s norm was to was shatter fineprecedents and make it . is where we get the only new deal era constitutional amendment. it was proposed during truman's running for president. we don't we don't get a constitutional amendment sanctioning the growth in federal power that occurred during the new deal. we do get a constitutional amendment trying to reaffirm a commitment to the way things have always been done in terms of balancing presidential power against congressional power against judicial power. let's think a little bit about why this matters beyond having a better understanding of an important and interesting time in our past. i think there are three main takeaways that are relevant for today. one is i think the fact that there weren't that many new deal constitutional amendments. the only one is the term limit. it is a problem. we have an ongoing ambivalence over how much power the federal government legitimately has or should have. i think the lack of a new deal concert party

no political experience, who had been a registered democrat up until relatively recently, wendell wilkie was his name. argument's main against him was i could manage the war, he can't. broken.s norm was once roosevelt was successfully elected, a third and fourth time -- what he did not do was shatter that precedent by george washington. he didn't make it fine for future presidents to make -- break this norm, too. here's were i would argue that the only new deal constitutional amendment. it was proposed during truman's presidency and ratified shortly after the 22nd amendment and imposed a two-term limit on running for president. we don't get a constitutional amendment sanctioning the growth in federal power that occurred during the new deal. we do get a constitutional amendment trying to reaffirm a commitment to the way things have always been done in terms of balancing presidential power against credential -- congressional power in judicial power. aboutthink a little bit why this matters beyond having a better understanding of an important and interesting time in our past. i think there

president to arrive to begin that ceremony we did see earlier the secretary of veterans affairs robert wilkie of colonel with us air force. reserve come out and present the and again it's standing by waiting for the president. i don't know that we can hear anything at the moment though is going to ask if we wanted to listen and but i'm not sure that there's much there to here. so we'll keep an eye on the ceremony, one looks like it's about to get underway. we'll come back to it. >>time now is 8 '03 and there's breaking news that we're following in the north bay, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a police cruiser yeah, this was in benicia a kron 4 sarah stinson at the scene for us this morning with more on. >>what we know at this point happened good morning sara. >>and the scene has cleared since i last reported in talks with you guys around 8 o'clock chp was on scene and then the tow truck arrived and told the patrol car corner left as well so if you in this area, the scene has cleared. but it was closed off for hours because a man was struck and killed by a police officer on duty earlier

and so internally we have monitored ourselves on what the secretary wilkie had put out for the access standards of 30 minutes for primary care and behavioral health and then 60 minutes for specialty care. so internally, we monitor that and we're actually very close to meeting that standard across all primary care behavioral health and specialty except for the area of dental where we have -- we're probably about 79% with dental. but everything else, we're close to 90% or higher. >> your contracts, the ones that were negotiated before the mission act took effect and do not include the mission act standards last for how long? the contract length before they're renegotiated is how long? >> eight years. and you have no indication that the va -- let me ask a more neutral question. do you have any indication one way or the other whether the va is interested in implementing a contract modifying your contracts to meet those standards, to include the standards? >> senator, we have given them all of our data and information that they would need for them to make that decision and right now we're

christina wilkie, white house correspondent for cnbc, speaking to us from washington.no different. but, despite the lack of crowds and large services, the nation still came together to pay their respects to the armed forces. 0ur reporter fi lamdin has been looking at the different ways the country fell silent. big ben chimes. we lost 31 of the crew in the sinking. i shall remember those guys, as i do every remembrance day. we'll never forget them. 95—year—old stan ford was aboard the allied ship hms fratton on d—day. the nearest you are to an explosion, you don't really hear it. but i had a feeling, a feeling of weightlessness and then the plonk in the water. rescue boats came up on the scene and, luckily, i was pulled aboard. the hand of god was on me on that day. but stan's spine was fractured in the explosion. he has needed calipers to help him walk ever since. i think we should be remembering people who served us because they risked their lives for us. nine—year—old maisie may be 86 years younger than stan, but, like him, she wants everyone to remember. it looks am

i think people who think, you know, he's not a america firster, he's a one loner to quote wendell wilkie. i believe this is a different time we're about to go into and they're going to -- there was a -- president clinton is saying that there is -- that it is on xi i think that biden is going to be -- he's going to come in peace. going to come in peace enough saber rallying -- he's not going to tweet i don't think he's going to tweet anything >> yeah. >> hank paulson had thoughts on how biden is going to put china into a framework earlier in the week, interesti ing comments i d notice the journal has a story about chinese companies listed here, according to journal, and looking at s.e.c. plan, need to have auditors overseen by u.s. regulators, which is something you called for, for more than a year now. >> that's why i like alibaba it looks like an american company. it does, even though you could necessarily argue that the communist parties sometimes doesn't like some of the things they got planned there. >> no. that's always a continued question as to whether there is influence in the co

secretary wilkie was there as well laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. country. he said the message on this veterans day is a remembrance set aside to honor those who have defended our country in peace and war. he said we pause to reflect on american veterans men and women who served and sacrificed while wearing the uniform of the nation. ordinary americans performing extraordinary service. a beautiful message to our service members. senator rick scott is joining us from the great state of florida and a veteran and served in the navy. senator, good morning. thank you for being here and thank you for your service. >> that was a beautiful ceremony. i always think on a day like this i think of my dad, my adopted dad and the combat jumps in the second world war. i had the opportunity to go to d day and battle of the bulge. very few of his friends came back alive. all the parachute jumps of the 82nd airborne. i always felt sorry for my father what he went through. so many veterans that have defended this freedoms we cherish every day. the right to have a free

we're joined now from washington by cnbc white house correspondent, christina wilkie, along with seanen covering the joe biden correspondent. i know you have been covering thejoe biden campaign very closely. as he watched when he gave his brief press conference earlier on, what did you see in what he said? what i saw was a very deliberate and thought out strategy of encouraging harm, of acting like a leader instead of claiming victory, of drawing a sharp contrast between himself and the president, simply by encouraging people to have patience and acting like the leader that he claimed throughout the campaign donald trump was unable to be. a lot of people had suggested, number one, that the margins would bea number one, that the margins would be a lot higher at this point. the polls had suggested that, and some of the pundits looking at it. donald trump and the republicans have definitely done better than to a certain point. what do you make of where we are now compared with what was predicted? what a land two days ago is that trumpism is more resilient than many democrats or people on

white house correspondent christina wilkie and andy barr, a democratic speechwriter who has previouslyd back a couple of times. what is your understanding of what was going on behind the scenes? is it thatjoe biden was hoping that some more news might have fed in so he could have may be a slightly more, a clear message? what was going on? i think that's right, it has been pretty clear for i would say at least the last 24 hours that barring some kind of completely under the turn, joe biden is going to be the next president of the united states. the networks here have not called the race so he is wanting to not be presumptuous by declaring victory but at the same time, he has work to do to start healing the country and even though healing the country and even though he waited as long as he could to see if the networks would make a call, i think it is the right thing to do for him, to get out and start talking to the people that he will be working for. christina, lots of our viewers will be waking up this morning, tuning in and thinking why is there not a result? we're looking at the numb
