Gerald Ford

There is a limit at how much they can cuck to Israel.

the sailors and stuff like you, we saw on the Gerald Ford, they just set the laundry on fire, broke the toilets.

They meet me.

They're just not going to fight.

But this is much more personal here.

We have the aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, that deployed for 11 months.

That's the longest carrier deployment since Vietnam.

And the current representative at the time when she was asked about those sailors and the concerns of their family members, the insensitivity just at its core, she said, "You know, they should know what they signed up for.

Mm-hmm.

I dropped him off, um, at Gerald Ford because they had to take the plane to, to So- South Carolina for basic training.

And I tell you what, I was-

was-I'm not gonna lie to you, I was emotional wreck, but I tried to hold it in as best I could until that plane took off.

But let's also talk about what's in that Blumenthal letter.

So, you know, the other thing in that letter was about the USS Gerald Ford spent 326 days at sea supporting operations against Venezuela before returning in May.

That's nearly double what the Navy says is supposed to be its traditional six-month deployment.

I mean, that's

They've gone without a traditional port call for eight and a half months and counting, and they're not the only vessel facing long deployments and concerning conditions.

In May, the USS Gerald Ford finally returned to port in the United States after 11 months at sea, the longest deployment since the end of the Vietnam War.

Those months away from home featured a massive fire that raged for hours on board and, you guessed it, plumbing problems.

So why are sailors suddenly facing months far away from home with no idea when they'll get to return or even just step on land? Two words: Donald Trump.

... giving some leeway here because we should talk about it a little bit, Bill and Andrew, like having the first cold open has Chevy saying, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night." So would we agree that if that was said maybe twice or three times in that season, is that a good opening line or is it because it was steady and right from the top, right from the jump, NBC Saturday Night opened with Chevy Chase saying it? He said it almost every episode.

You know, Garrett said it and Gerald Ford said it.

Mm-hmm.

But it became a Chevy Chase line to break the cold open, really break the fourth wall, start the montage.
