Because as you see, they still have control events when when theyre talking about the problems in the inner city, its always the government has to do more . the government has to step in . but its never to empower individuals black, white, brown , whatever to be self-sufficient and be able to protect themselves, including single moms instead of putting roadblocks in front of them. so they have to be dependent on the government. and if youre against that , they say youre against black people and ...

Of d-day. americans want to thousands who fought and died in the battle at normandy, 3000 americans were killed storming the beach in 1944. it was one of the most pivotal moment in world war ii leading to the liberation of france and signaling the beginning to the end of the war in europe. the time is 10 minutes after the top of the hour. donald trump is set to sign a new va bill that will change the way our heroes get healthcare. our next guest is in a record veteran, how this bill will make al...

Werent talking about it, certainly as we learned about some of the atrocities happening in some of our va centers, it was important to get the veterans affairs issue looked at. this president took that on very early on the campaign. >> the va bill was a big one. with the regulation, some of that was done legislatively. he had notched a couple along the way. not to downplay those but i think in terms of magnitude and legacy and impact on the maximum number of people, tax reform by far dwarves any...

Its not the end of the year yet, we dont know what hell d do. today he gave press availability, i hope they were ready inside that room because he did take some shouted questions. there has been some victories that many of the mainstream media have not covered. you mentioned the va accountability act -- you didnt with the president did. theres a list. >> that reminds me of wednesday on the couch, how important the va bill has been for veterans like himself, that speaks to his approval and braidi...

Youre on the same page as that front. >> let me assure you we are completely on the same page. we are speaking on a regular basis. what the president said was that his strong preference had been when they passed the va bill that they attached the debt ceiling to that so we wouldnt be dealing with this in september. what i have said before, my strong preference is we have a clean debt ceiling but the most important is the debt ceiling will be raised in september. i have had discussions with leade...
