Description

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced she will resign after her husband was diagnosed with a serious illness. Plus, initial reports say at least 13 firefighters and three others were injured in a fire and explosion on New York’s Staten Island. And the Pentagon released a new batch of declassified UFO files following President Trump’s pledge to make those government files public. And ahead of Memorial Day, Tom Llamas sits down with Medal of Honor recipient William Swenson at the Intrepid Museum in New York. Swenson speaks candidly about his service in Afghanistan, remembering the fallen, and what it means to be an American. 00:00 Intro 01:20 President Trump’s intel chief Tulsi Gabbard steps down 03:42 Firefighters injured in Staten Island shipyard explosion 06:36 Pentagon releases newly declassified UFO files 08:24 New details in former Prince Andrew investigation 08:52 Car hits student about to board bus 09:18 Man stuck in cave for hours 09:36 Ring found in aftermath of wildfires 10:34 Great Americans: A conversation with Lt.

I don't think when they said release the files, they meant the ufo files.

We don't know them all, but we owe them all! Memorial Day is to remember our nation's fallen heroes! May they rest in peace. Those who serve in our military are truly the best of us!

There is currently a horrific civil war raging across Sudan. Thousands of innocent civilians are being killed. Please, pray to THE LORD and beg Him to save the people of Sudan from violence and pain. Thank you, very much. May THE LORD bless you. 🔥♥️🔥

As for Medal of Honor recipients, the new law that was recently passed to increase of their annual pension to $67,500 or $5,625 a month is also nice. A stipend well deserved. Thank you for your service.

Adios two-face. Stepping out before getting fired was probably your smartest move. Though you’ll always be remembered as a Trump toady.
