The Last Word
MSNBC August 15, 2013 7:00pm-8:01pm PDT
7:00 pm
what could we ever do to affect something that big? well, i'm happy to say that the smartest guy in this building, the smartest guy in this whole business i work in, i think, has figured it out. it is chris hayes, and he has a new documentary, i don't want to spoil it. but msnbc's new documentary is really good and premiers tomorrow on msnbc. plan to watch it, and i'll see you after. now it is time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. president obama addressed the crisis in egypt as the state of emergency continues there tonight. >> america cannot determine the future of egypt. that is a task for the egyptian people. >> president obama weighed in on the escalating violence in egypt. >> the egyptian people deserve better. >> the country is now under a month-long state of emergency. the muslim brotherhood is
7:01 pm
encouraging protesters to take to the streets again. >> our traditional cooperation cannot continue. >> he is cancelling this military exercise. >> we are cancelling our bi-annual joint military exercise. the cycle of violence and escalation needs to stop. >> let's get you up to speed, a lot has gone on. >> they successfully recovered the black boxes. >> bradley manning took the stand at his sentencing hearing. >> today is day two. >> there are mixed signals, i'm focusing on the ground game, obviously on our digital and data program. addressing the primary system that is a total disaster. >> we continue to follow the developing news from egypt. >> the situation on the ground remains extremely volatile. >> the egyptian people deserve better. >> the cycle of violence and escalation needs to stop.
7:02 pm
>> egypt's health ministry has put the official death toll from the violence and protesters at 368 people killed. and both sides believe the number will go up after the worst civil violence in the modern history of the world's most populous arab state. today, they stormed and torched a building in cairo. egypt's spokesperson said that the ministry was authorized to stop the attacks on anymore government buildings, churches, state buildings as family members sorted through hundreds of bodies of victims. secretary of defense chuck hagel called his egyptian counterpart today and told him that the violence is putting our relations at risk. and president obama cancelled a planned exercise with egypt.
7:03 pm
>> our situation cannot continue as violence continues in the street. this morning we notified the egyptian government know we are cancelling our bi-annual joint military exercise which was scheduled for next month. going forward i have asked the national security team to assess the implications of the actions taken by the interim government. and further steps we must take as necessary with respect to the u.s./egyptian relationship. >> joining me now from cairo is nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel, richard? >> reporter: there may be difficult days ahead. this was clearly a warning today from the egyptian military. authorizing the security forces to use deadly force to protect themselves and "key installations." but undeterred, the muslim brotherhood called for a massive demonstration tomorrow and already picked out a location in
7:04 pm
downtown cairo. egyptian forces loyal to the military were cleaning the site today at the place where the forces were gunned down yesterday. some came out to thank to military for the crackdown. >> i thanked anybody who supported us to get rid of the terrorism. we saw it in the streets the past year. >> reporter: the government is trying to justify all the violence and death. the foreign ministry today distributed videos to journalists, including this one, allegedly showing protesters with automatic weapons. there is still a lot of cleanup to do. but can egypt just sweep away what many say is a massacre that took place here. the muslim brotherhood lost the battle, but the group is promising more protests, which could mean more scenes like this. and now the brotherhood has
7:05 pm
martyrs to revenge. >> we will not stop. >> reporter: at the mosque, hundreds of bodies were lined up for collection, blocks of ice to keep them cold. the carpet wet, the air filled with freshener to mask the smell, families distraught and overwhelmed. this woman searches for her son, 19. she has a photo from school. he went to the protests yesterday, but never came home. he may be here, but i can't tell. collapsed on a chair, she doesn't need to look further. at her feet, her 27-year-old husband shot in the head, father of her toddler. she has no job or money. i pray to god to give me strength, she said. egypt may have overstepped in its crackdown but it is not showing signs of remorse.
7:06 pm
and tonight the mosque with the bodies inside was actually raided by egyptian police who used tear gas to break up the crowds. they took the bodies. >> richard, we saw some people voicing support in your report for the government's crackdown. is there a way to gauge how much support the muslim brotherhood has now versus the government? >> reporter: it is very difficult to know. the muslim brotherhood certainly has millions of people who support it. and with all of the bloodshed, it certainly is convincing -- a part of the society to join in solidarity. it does not have the overwhelming majority of support, but to have an insurgency, to have an overwhelming problem, you don't need more than a few thousand, let alone a few million people who are angry and grieving, and some of whom are armed. so you can fairly estimate their
7:07 pm
support is large, a few million in a country of about 90 million. >> and is it your sense that this kind of crackdown actually increases their support? >> reporter: not necessarily. because there is a massive media campaign under way in this country, almost every egyptian has televisions. a lot of people in the united states talk about twitter and the influence of facebook. this is still very much a television society. and a mobile phone. and there is a campaign under way by the government on television to demonize the muslim brotherhood, 24 hours a day on chat programs and programs like yours, all the guests would be -- not saying yours, but if this were egypt, all the guests on the program would be talking against the muslim brotherhood and trying to shape the thinking in this country about the group, describing them as a terrorist organization. people who are trying to bring down the country. and that does have an impact. so i think the longer this goes on, the more there is violence.
7:08 pm
the more the media campaign continues the more there is an opportunity to ostracize the muslim brotherhood, but not among their supporters. they will continue to say there is propaganda against them, they will continue to feel victimized. and like what happened yesterday and today, because people continued to be killed, they will say there are martyrs to revenge. >> richard, thank you for great reporting again. joining me now, mark ginsburg, and steve clemens, washington editor at large for "the atlantic." steve, what was your reaction to the statement today by president obama? >> well, i think finally it was a small step, a very meager step, but nonetheless in the right direction of at least sending a message to the generals that what was under way was unacceptable. i have offered a stronger
7:09 pm
signal, offered much earlier than the president did. so i give him credit for finally moving. but i suspect it was not nearly soon enough. given what we saw in these last days. >> i want to read a statement that rand paul issued today. he is a member of the senate foreign relations committee. he said while president obama condemns the violence in egypt, his administration continues to send taxpayer dollars to help it. the law is very clear when a coup takes place, the aid must stop. with thousands injured and some dead this week. the chaos continues to grow, the president needs to stop skirting the issue, follow the law and stop sending aid to egypt. ambassador, how would you respond to that? >> well, i must say the fact that we continue to send aid as if it is business as usual is a mistake. let's not be fooled into believing the aid has leverage
7:10 pm
over the egyptian military it does not. if it had, they would not have acted. we would have already warned about it. we could have suspended the aid, and dispatched secretary kerry to start to deal with the action, which the military desperately needs in order to create the facade that it has support within the newly created government. i'll finish the comment by saying that the general, probably if i were in his shoes, was pretty pleased with the obama administration's response. >> to follow up on that, ambassador, why would he be pleased with that response? >> because we could have been far more evevindictive and punitive, we could have called it a coup, even though it would have been silly to do it before. and we could have suspended aid. we could have been more prepared to take action for our own principles, in order to stand up
7:11 pm
for our own principles in the middle east as a country that supports democratic change. and yet at the same time, the administration could have easily taken that step. and it would not have had any real impact one way or the other on the military's decision, which is going to make a difference among the egypt goldsmith military is how the political leadership of egypt addresses the consequences of their actions. we already saw that the vice president resigned in the face of these attacks. the civilian authorities in egypt are in effect, the lynchpin to the future regarding the military, to garner support of the population. >> but steve, doesn't that come up to the dilemma that no matter who is president, in the face of these situations, if we react too sharply, basically, that we then cut off our ability to continue the relationship. and we risk the future of the relationship?
7:12 pm
>> well, you know, i think as i said earlier on msnbc today, i think this is a lot like tiannamen, but that happened in a time where there was not cell phones or twitter or networks organizing the opposition. the united states did impose very serious steps against china, and did take steps that he just outlined. but nevertheless, we need egypt, we need to be engaged with egypt. but there should have been a very serious price imposed in the leadership after they deposed morsi. it is not necessarily seen by the world as being pro-democratic, the big issue is keeping the group, choosing a political and largely a
7:13 pm
non-violent tract, becoming pursuears of violence. this is being watched not only inside egypt, but i do agree with mark and also richard engel of how the government is trying to propagandaize. tunisia, jordan, everybody is watching to see how we handle it. we kind of botched it, but they're waiting to see what we do. i agree with mark, it is at a very serious point where the american credibility is at a very serious point. if you don't change the outreach for those who believe in political islam and giving them opportunities on a democratic tract, then i think the arab spring has died. and we will not have an opportunity -- we'll see
7:14 pm
instability throughout the region for generations. >> ambassador ginsburg, before we go, what would your recommendation be to president obama, given the actions of today and what is in front of him? >> i would have suspended aid and dispatch secretary kerry to cairo to meet with the leadership. as well as send a message to the brotherhood that the united states remains politically engaged to try to form some consensus. i couldn't agree more with steve, the last thing we want to see is back in the '80s, where a state of emergency was created by hosni mubarak, and it became an opposition, solidfiying the opposition, steve is absolutely right, i couldn't agree more.
7:15 pm
>> thank you very much for joining me tonight. >> thank you. coming up, the republicans have a new dream attempt of presidential debate moderators, rush limbaugh, sean
, and mark levine. they're serious. and later, rand paul says who the greatest defender of minority rights is. but he is not very worried about voting rights. and bravo, andy cohen just turned down a job hosting a tv show in russia in protest of russia's anti-gay laws. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us.

bradley manning spoke for three minutes yesterday in the sentencing phase of his trial after being convicted of charges that could result in up to 90 years in prison. our link will have a more complete version of what he said. he began with an apology. first, your honor, i want to
7:18 pm
start off with an apology. i am sorry that my actions hurt people. i'm sorry that they hurt the united states. i understood what i was doing and decisions i made. however, i did not fully appreciate the broader effects of my actions. i am sorry for the unintended consequences of my actions. when i made these decisions, i believed i was going to help people, not hurt people. the last few years has been a learning experience about my decisions. i wondered how i, a junior analyst, possibly believed i could change the world for the better on decisions of those with the proper authority. in retrospect, i should have used those actions. unfortunately, i can't go back and change things. i must go forward, but i understand i must pay a price for my decisions and actions.
7:19 pm
we'll be right back.

the georgetown student who went before the congress the committee and said she was having sex and was going broke buying condoms and wants us to buy them. listen, what would you call somebody who wants us to pay? for her to have sex? what would you call that woman? >> now, there is a republican presidential debate question for you. what would you call that woman. that is right, republicans are now leaning toward having right wing radio talk show host rush limbaugh, sean
, and mark levine moderate their presidential debate. >> i actually think it is a very good idea, i think partnering with talk radio, there is a lot of good people out there that can actually understand the base
7:22 pm
of the republican party, parse that out in a way that actually provides substance to the republican party primary voters and what they actually want to talk about. >> today, rush limbaugh said his moderating the debate is a wonderful idea, but it is not without its problems. >> to me, sean
and mark levine would moderate the republican primary debate, and i think i would overshadow that, i'm too famous. >> joining us, howard dean, you are the expert on the presidential debates since you have actually been up there. how much does difference does the moderator make? >> they make a big difference, they ask the questions, when these guys get in the same room they go absolutely crazy and
7:23 pm
will say really crazy stuff. so it is true that john cain would ask them questions that they would get in a general election. what sean
and rush limbaugh, other than making the questions about themselves, would be foam at the mouth, i hate women and gays, and that is exactly what lost mitt romney the election. >> well, one of the people they talked about, mark levine, has already said he is against chris christie, so he already declared himself against one of the possible candidates who would be on the stage. but it is also kind of inconceivable to me if rush limbaugh, if he was up there, wouldn't engage in the debate himself. i wouldn't at the end of the answer say that is wrong and make his argument. >> well, if you look at the talk show hosts, to be fair, most talk show hosts on both sides, particularly the right wingers.
7:24 pm
it is mostly about them. they are probably incapable of moderating the debate. the debate would be about them. i can see the question now, don't you think that so and so in the republican party is soft on immigrants because they might let them have citizenship in 400 years? and oh, yeah, it should be 600! this is what we want. >> let's listen to the kind of moment that the republican party fears. this is wolf blitzer during one of the debates last time had this follow-up question. we're going to listen to this. >> but congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die? >> no -- >> so dr. dean, there -- is wolf blitzer saying are you saying that society should just let someone die, basically because they don't have health insurance and can't get it. and that is precisely the kind of thing that they want to keep out of this debate. >> this is not the right way --
7:25 pm
look, far be it for me to give the republicans any advice on how to moderate themselves. but you know what happens when a bunch of like-minded people, who can gin themselves up, get in a am radio. they try to outdo each other, each one tries to be more right wing than the other. that is not where america is. america is not where the republican is, that is the problem. i think they will find that out in 2016. >> let's listen to one of the very memorable, important questions that brett baier asked at one of these debates. >> ten to one, as byron said, spending cuts, to tax increases -- speaker, you're already shaking your head, but who on this speech would walk away from this deal? raise your hand, if you feel so
7:26 pm
strongly you would walk away from taxes -- >> it was that famous raise your hand moment. and it seems to me, what that shows is there really won't be a way for them to manage to have completely safe debates. no matter who they end up choosing. >> yeah, they want to do this, they will have no debates whatsoever. which of course is not going to be permitted. because what happens is, the truth is cnn will not get stopped. what will happen is they will offer the debate, the pressure will be on the people in the top two or three slots, accepted as well. it worked that way when i was the dnc chair. you want control what the media says or does or even your own candidate. so this is all silliness, in truth, it is fun to speculate on what it would be like to watch rush limbaugh moderate debates as to whether or not women are
7:27 pm
sluts if they take birth control, no matter what the rnc says. >> former governor howard dean, thank you very much for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> coming up, big surprise, rand paul and hillary clinton have very different views on voter rights in this country. and in the rewrite, the lessons i learned watching the funniest political chat show in history. the mclaughlin group, the show saturday night live kept coming back to for the comedy gold. that is coming up. go woman: 'i can't.' hero : that's what expedia asked me. host: book the flight but you have to go right now. hero: (laughs) and i just go? this is for real right? this is for real? i always said one day i'd go to china, just never thought it'd be today. anncr: we're giving away a trip every day. download the expedia app and your next trip could be on us. expedia, find yours.

7:31 pm
i think there is no greater defender, truly of minority rights, if you include minorities to be color of your skin or the color of your ideology, than myself. >> yes, rand paul actually said that on the npr interview last week. the great defender of minority rights is apparently not worried about the voter id rights. at an event, rand paul said the interesting thing about the voting patterns now is in this last election, african-americans voted at a higher percentage than whites in almost every one of the states that were under the professions of the federal government. i don't think there is objective evidence that we're precluding african americans from voting any longer. hillary clinton respectfully disagrees. >> we've seen a sweeping effort
7:32 pm
across our country to obstruct new obstacles to voting, often under the cover of the election fraud. not every obstacle is related to race, but anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in american electi elections must not be paying attention. >> joining me now is msnbc's joy reid and karen finlis finney, k have to read these words to you. i think there is no greater defender of minority rights, that is who rand paul thinks he is. >> yes, he is the savior, forget martin luther king jr., rand paul is here. and he goes on to the argument, uses the same argument that we essentially heard from john
7:33 pm
roberts, which of course doesn't actually address the real problem, simply because more people turned out does not mean, as we know, there are not disparities in voting. we know that in the last elections, african-americans tended to wait longer. we know that in addition to the state voter id laws, and same-day voting and registrations, we know all of those things, the african-americans, latinos, all of those situations still existed. and those were the things that erected those barriers. >> rand paul said i don't see a problem with showing your driver's license to vote. i also think that some people are stuck in the past when they want to compare it. there was a time in the south when african-americans were prohibited from voting because of the bizarre literacy tests. that was wrong, that is why we need the voter rights. but that is not showing your id.
7:34 pm
joy, what would you like to say to rand paul. >> after thanking him, no greater champion. the thing that is ironic about the statement that rand paul made, look at how many of you voted. what do you want? there are no more literacy tests, come on. it is what the republicans do in reacting, they adjust, each time they do they adjust in a way that just so happens to make it harder for people, for democrats, to vote, and makes it harder on the younger people. when you register to vote, you have to prove who you are. you can't just walk off the street without proving who you are certifying as to your identity. the problem with the id, it costs money, whether you have to travel great distances to get
7:35 pm
there. the people happen to be the same minorities, the same voters that the republicans would rather not show up in big numbers. >> if rand paul were really such the big defender, he would recognize -- it is not about an id. this is about protecting the constitutional right. tea party folks love the talk about the constitution. we're talking about protecting a constitutional right. we're talking about erecting more barriers, more regulations by the way, which they're supposed to be opposed to. and you know, the thing he also clearly does not remember his history. this full phantom issue of voter fraud, as joy said, the gop gets very creative. after they went through selma and saw what happened to people with the hoses and kept getting beaten, they realized oh, we want keep beating people when -- can't keep beating people when they're standing in line.
7:36 pm
that is where this voter fraud issue started. >> and they were doing the literacy tests and the how many jelly beans in the jar. their argument was the same basically as rand paul. we're not saying you can't vote, we're just saying you have to tell us how many jelly beans there are in the jar. it is ironic that he is making the exact same argument now. >> karen, what do we make about the statistical evidence, where the african-american vote was organized to fight that d discouragement. we did see that the african-american voters waited in line almost double the time of white voters. so the attempt to discourage was well instructed but it doesn't seem in the end to have worked. >> well, that is exactly right. and in the end, it probably increased the african-american and latino voter turnout for president obama. because remember when they were
7:37 pm
interviewing people who were waiting in the lines for six, seven, eight, nine hours, they basically said hell, no, you're not taking away my vote. i deserve this. i earned i it. so they essentially created a movement of people who said because they're trying to stop us from voting. but it is part of the republican rhetoric to convince us that this problem is all in our minds, right? it is just about an id. there is no discrimination. you know, we're just making it up. >> joy reid, and karen finney, thank you for joining us. and karen before you go, i have two words for you, happy birthday. >> okay, thank you. >> go party. thank you. coming up, russia's anti-gay laws and what job that andy cohen has turned down, andy cohen taking a stand against the ant

next presidential election. jack never fought his way through on the mclaughlin group the way the other panelists did. he just sat there knowing he was not getting paid there by the word. and every second he sat there silently while everyone else was arguing all i cared about was what does jack think? it was as if jack knew what the sma smartest actors know, the power of silence, the longer the silence, the more we wonder what you're thinking. jack was actually my model when i eventually took a seat on the mclaughlin group for a few years. i was always the last one to speak after john mclaughlin announced issue one. and i almost always said less than anyone else on the show. join would always complain to me about that when i arrived to do the show. he would say the word content in the transcript showed i said less than anyone else. and the show said i want to hear
7:48 pm
more from o'donnell. that is exactly what i wanted the audience to say. i don't think he got it. jack germond was not consciously following that rule, but that is what he did, he always left the audience wanting more. his wife sent the e-mail with the memo, jack is gone. he went peacefully and quickly after just completing this novel, a tale he had pondered, while writing a memoir. he lived a marvelous, full, and well-loved life. i know he was a great reporter and i know he was a hearty eater. and yes, he enjoyed extending an evening. he had a bold journalistic ethic. and that matters. he was fortunate to spend his life working at a job he would have done for free during some
7:49 pm
halcyon times in the newspaper business. jack indeed played the horses, always studying the form. and hoping for that elusive triple crown winner. but there was no such thing as a bad day at the track. he fit his life and times so very well. i love him, and it has been great. in 2001, jack told people magazine "now a days, reporters drink white wine and eat salas.s they go to the gym and eat salads and we never did that. he lived a rich, full 85 years and always left the audience wanting more. y ease arthritis symptoms.
7:50 pm
but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
7:51 pm
don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. . >> a new poll shows north carolina republican governor pat mccrory's approval rating has dropped since he signed two bills into law. the public policy poll gives mccrory a 49% approval rating down from may. he signed a bill into law on monday, and last month he signed a new bill on abortions. coming up next, why andy cohen is refusing to go to russia. >> zoe, that was great, i was as
7:52 pm
nervous as you are, because i saw your rehearsal. so this is your final night as an intern, thank you for staying as long as you have. now i guess i'm going to have to do all the work there. >> i know, you have to pick up all of our slack. >> zoe, forgive me, say your last name correctly. >> zoe cianciolo, it is a tough one. >> zoe, thank you very much. >> thank you, it has been great. e helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. e you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis.
7:53 pm
side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial.

7:55 pm
before russia hosts the 2014 winter olympics in sochi, it will host the ms. universe
7:56 pm
pageant in moscow, and because of that it is in need of a new co-host. andy cohen turned down what would have been his third stint as host, because of their pol y policies. he said that their policies make it unsafe for gays and gays coming to live and work there. the law that anybody there as a homosexual can be arrested, i didn't feel right as a gay man stepping foot in russia. this is the first time russia will be hosting the ms. universe pageant, and there is no word on who will take his place on the program which will be hosted on msnbc. the petition for removing the pageant from there has received 16,000 signatures. joining me, jonathan capehart, are you free on november 9th, to
7:57 pm
host the ms. universe contest? >> yes, i am, but i probably would take the same stand as andy cohen, if in the unlikely event they would ask me to host it. >> you know, it got terrible ratings, 1.8 million in the demo, you used to get cancelled off msnbc if your demo went below 3 million people. i mean, this is a headache they don't need. and andy cohen is employed by msnbc. so he is not only taking a stand against russia, but against the company. >> right, it is a principle stand. and we all have those moments when we have to decide you know, whether our employer or our employment is larger than whatever obligations we have. if there is an issue there. and this law in russia, i think -- andy and i agree with him. you know, you have got people
7:58 pm
who are being harassed for who they are. andy cohen is openly gay, he doesn't feel comfortable going to a country where people are h oppressed for being gay, and the law is so vague that if maybe walking down the street with your partner could get you arrested, nobody wants to put themselves in personal jeopardy. and i think andy cohen taking the position he has is a principled one. but it also sheds even more light on how unjust these laws are. >> and it shows you the pressures that are coming on these companies that are dealing with russia now. and nbc already is under a lot of pressure because they're going to have the olympics. and they have already got the olympic problem in the sports division. now the entertainment division has a problem with this goofy
7:59 pm
one-night show that they put on that is worth nothing to them. it is an amazing waste of energy to get this pathetic rating it gets, now they are risking this type of controversy. >> you know, the olympics are a thorny issue, and the role in this, let's talk about the people who train for years to get to the ultimate -- their ultimate athletic stage. and that is the olympics. do you really want to force those olympians to not go to russia? i think something has to happen where the international olympic committee and russia have to come to some sort of agreement to allow, or i should say at least to not have gay and lesbian olympians not be wh harassed or arrested for who
8:00 pm
they are innately, because of who they are. there has to be some sort of accommodation. >> i'm with george good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight on "all in" as the smoke clears from yesterday's deadly crackdown in egypt, the horrible human toll is revealed and the world decides how to react. we'll go back live to cairo in just a moment. also tonight, shocking video posted to the web gives a disturbing glimpse into the current situation for gays living in russia. as the outrage grows and olympics draw near, is there any way this doesn't become a full-blown firestorm? that plus my special documentary on climate change will be airing in this hour tomorrow night. tonight we'll give you a sneak preview of the politics of power.

text: Hello, I believe that we're not supposed to use this forum to hunt for best prices. So . . . can anyone tell me which forum to go to in order to find the best price from a reputable dealer for the Denon 3805? On the topic of the 3805, my 7.1 setup includes two 4 ohm towers and a 6 ohm center speaker, the rest are 8 ohm. This would not be a problem for the 3805, would it? Thanks, Bill

Can you believe I was at home for almost 4 weeks???? It was wonderful!!! But, packing was a nightmare. My bags were much too light and I'm sure I forgot half of what I'll need. How quickly I forgot "how to pack" for these trips to the desert!
Aaron Tippin is spending his SIXTH consecutive year in the AOR entertaining the troops over Thanksgiving. He gives up his Thanksgiving at home with his family to come over here and say a special thanks to the troops in Kuwait and Iraq. One year, we even went into Afghanistan for the tour.
We all met at Customs at 10:30 am and, as is usual with Aaron's group, everyone was on time. Went straight to the airport for check-in. The "new" girl behind the counter at United wanted us to use the kiosks for check-in. It was taking forever, so she finally took all our passports and agreed to check us in. She kept calling some female's name and finally our sound tech told her that was his wife's name. No idea how she found that information and why it would have been in our records! Finally got checked in and moved Aaron's seat so that he was sitting by me in the Exit Row. When we went through security, the agent looked at him and said, "no way your name is Rebecca"! We looked at his new boarding pass and that was the name on it! Had to go back to the counter to have it re-issued.
Flight to Dulles was full (one of those little jets that I HATE) but no turbulence and we landed on time. Had a short layover – about an hour – and Colonel Bill Cowan met us in the Red Carpet Lounge. Poor guy had to drive to Richmond, VA and then FLY back to DC (where he lives) to connect with us. He has to do the same thing on the return. The cost difference to fly roundtrip Dulles/Kuwait as opposed to flying Richmond/Dulles/Kuwait is over $5,000 for business class. Makes NO sense to me. I answered emails the entire time we were in the Dulles airport. When we boarded, Aaron was sitting in the window seat next to Bill and I was right across the aisle from them. The flight attendant was one that I have had several times before and he met me with a large bottle of water – the only thing I ever ask for on the flights! They know me well now. I put the water on my armrest and walked up to the cockpit to give the pilots and flight attendants photos, coins and cds. Aaron actually knew one of the pilots. We were hoping to get his guys upgraded but the plane was completely full. When I got back to my seat, my bottle of water was gone. I thought it had fallen into my seat but couldn't find it. There was a guy sitting in the seat next to me and I asked him if he had seen it. He held up my bottle of water – which he had drank half of already – and said, "Oh is this yours?" Nice!!! When I said yes, that it WAS, he said, "Oh. Guess this is not a good way to start off the flight, huh. Going to be a long flight!". I didn't see the humor but I did go get another bottle of water. Then, the lady sitting next to the "thief" asked how she could get one. I told her she needed a note from her doctor and I swear she believed me.
Food was "okay". I had the pasta again. Movies were horrendous…more so than ever. I suffered through one and then slept and slept. Zac was sick for a couple of nights before I left Nashville, so was only getting a couple of hours sleep each night trying to help Lindsey with him and Zoe. Sure do miss them already though.
We landed a few minutes early but it took an hour for the baggage to come out. At least everything arrived! There is a big holiday in Kuwait so we had to exit in a different way than usual. Contee met us and this time we were traveling in Suburbans with a pick up truck for equipment/luggage instead of our usual bus. The USO and VH1 are in Kuwait filming a big special next week. Over 40 people here! Glad that's not my event.
We arrived at the hotel for my last "stay" here. The hotel closes next month before I return and will be closed for 1-2 years for renovation. It will be beautiful when it returns but I HATE to have to go to another hotel. I got the guys checked in and then went "hotel shopping". I visited 4 properties – Crowne Plaza, Safir, Movenpik and Missoni. The Missoni is the "sister hotel" of the Radisson but it is just being built and won't open probably March or April. I need rooms at the end of December. Ran out of time before we went to the Hilton (where we have stayed before. It's nice but the staff are not overly friendly) and The Regent. Some of the rooms are so TINY at the hotels we visited. I'm so spoiled by the Radisson. Going to try to visit the last two properties when we come back through here on the 26th and then make my decision.
Came back to the hotel and had a quick dinner – by myself. Kurt – my friend here in Kuwait – is leaving tomorrow but he was out at the Camp "out-processing" and I didn't get to see him. But, he's going to DC so I should see him more often up there.
Tomorrow we perform at Camp Buehring again (where Filter performed) because VH1 is at Arifjan.
Actually got 5 hours sleep last night – sort of. Was up and down several times doing things that I remembered after I went to bed. Got in a good cardio workout – probably my last one in the Radisson and then had the fantastic breakfast buffet – soy yogurt, fruit and an egg white omelet. Showered and was able to work for about an hour before going to the lobby.
Drive to Buehring is about 1 hour 45 minutes and first thing we had was an office call with the Base Commander. Saw my buddy Shawn who will be leaving here in 3 weeks to go home to Florida. We watched a short film and then the Commander presented everyone with a certificate and coin. The guys went to the stage and Aaron, Bill and I went to the simulator firing range. Aaron was the only one who fired since Bill and I have done it numerous times. Unfortunately Aaron's gun was defective so he didn't do as well as expected. After that we went to a simulator for Humvee rollovers. Again, Aaron was the only one who was brave enough to try it. NOT for me! He did great. There were 3 soldiers in the vehicle with him and he was the second one out.
When we got to the stage, Coaxial did not have everything set up as they usually do. They were held up at the gate and had just gotten there a few minutes before us! They quickly got everything up and running. Contee had a jump drive internet connection for me and Donald had a wireless connection for me, so I was able to get on the internet.
Got the bad news that our flight leaves at 0305Z tomorrow. That's 6:05 am in Kuwait! Lands in Iraq at 6:50 am. Brutal since we won't get back to the hotel until at least midnight tonight. Bags have to be out at 2:30 am and we have to leave at 4:15 am! That means we stay up all night basically. I asked MWR to please try to find another flight but evidently that's our only option. So, when we arrive, we go to bed. L Typical for tours over here unfortunately.
Sound check was painless and we walked over to the DFAC afterwards. There was a sign on the table showing a list of the people who now have to PAY for their food and entertainment tours were on the list! So, the celebrities and musicians donate their time to come over here and eat horrible food and they expect them to pay for it? I don't think so!!!
I had something unidentifiable with a salad. Show started right on time although we lost Colonel Cowan for a while just prior to show time. We had another record attendance – several thousand fans! Show was fantastic except for the damn truck horn. They had a problem finding an air compressor earlier today but unfortunately, they found one. I told James I would pay him to forget to load the horn on the pallets tonight.
My friend Wally and his wife Ro came to the show. Wally was Chely Wright's escort about 10 years ago in Korea and we have stayed in touch since that time. I've seen him several times throughout the years – in DC and Egypt and now in Kuwait. He's a great guy and always so helpful wherever he is. He's the one who set me up with the guide last year in Egypt.
The autograph line was long and I gave out 296 photos to be autographed. In typical Aaron Tippin style, he and his guys made sure everyone got an autograph and a photo with him (INDIVIDUALLY) and finished up in 1 hour and 15 minutes! Wish all the entertainers I bring over here were that "efficient". And, trust me, everyone in line received personal attention.
We got back to the hotel at 11 pm and it's now 11:30 pm. Our bags have to be out at 2:15 am and we leave the hotel at 4:15 am. So brutal and will just kill the guys for the remainder of the tour but nothing I can do about it. L Won't be able to send out road reports from Iraq until we leave the camp where we performed. Just in case, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.
Is it really Monday? It's already "Ground Hog Day" for us over here and it's just our first day in Iraq! So, we were all in the lobby on time but our Security Detail that has to escort us onto the base overslept. We left the hotel almost 30 minutes later than we anticipated. Also, the bellman assured me last night that he had picked up all the bags outside everyone's doors. Nope. He missed one!
Drove to the airfield and our C-130 had just landed. It took about a half hour for them to re-fuel and load our 2 pallets. We were the only ones on the flight, so that was nice since all we wanted to do was sleep. There were a couple of females in the crew this time. Aaron sat up on the flight deck and the rest of us tried to sleep on the short 45 minute flight. It was smooth and no surprises. They don't even do combat landings any more unless they are messing with us. The flight crew was out of Dyess again but not anyone I met in September.
Our escorts were waiting for us – Robin, Ryan, Bruce and Romel. First stop was at the DFAC for breakfast. They had set up a trip to the firing range but everyone just needed to sleep. Aaron, Bill and I are near each other in "wet chus" (that's a trailer with the ULTIMATE luxury – a bathroom INSIDE your chu!!!!) We have internet service through a cable and SPAWARE for $9.99 a day. Aaron didn't have a cable for his and even when I plugged in my cable, it said "a cable is not plugged in"! So, MWR came over to help us out. They unplugged my cable and plugged it into the one beside it. It worked and of course, I had already tried that and it DIDN'T. The MWR guy left and 2 minutes after he drove off, I got the message again that a cable was unplugged, so I went to sleep instead.
We went to the DFAC at 1 pm and had a quick, light lunch. A female soldier came up and got Aaron's autograph since she was going to be working tonight. She asked if I was his wife and I told her "No. Better than that. I get to tell him what to do and he does it without having to be married to him!".
We took Aaron and Bill over to the flight line on the other side of the base to perform acoustically for the troops who would not be able to attend the concert tonight. There was supposed to be about 50 troops but word spread and we had well over 100. It was an awesome performance — very up close and intimate and the Colonel later told us it was the best performance he has ever attended in all his deployments.
Aaron signed autographs and took photos with everyone and then signed on of the helicopters as well. He left his bottle of water somewhere and Cowan was teasing him that it was probably inside the hatch where he signed his name. Said the chopper will probably crash and they will be able to trace it back to Aaron.
Went to the coffee shop and then to sound check. Same venue as when I was here with Filter in September. No one was hungry so I went with Coaxial to the DFAC and got "to go" plates for later. The guys were going to buy a pizza after the show but I did not want to eat that late or something that "unhealthy" so late at night.
The place was packed and Aaron had a great show. And, yes, the air horn worked. They found a compressor. We had been told that we might not be able to blow it because it sounded too much like the warning for "incoming". And, by the way, the Provost Marshall here is a guy from Mt. Juliet (a few miles from my house) AND he is the County Commissioner in the county where Charlie Daniels lives! Took a photo with him to send to Charlie. Really sweet guy.
Ryann – a friend that I met several years ago and had no idea was still in Tallil surprised me backstage. She is STILL here and I didn't know it when I was here with Filter! We had about 200 in the autograph line and it moved quickly. One guy asked if I had heard about Aaron being asked to change light bulbs today. Evidently, he came out of his Chu and some soldier saw him and thought he was KRB because he had on civilian clothes. He asked Aaron if he could change the light bulbs in his Chu! Aaron just told him he had no idea what he was talking about and the guy said well I guess you don't have any then. LOL I would have paid to have seen that exchange. Aaron ….being Aaron…would surely have changed the light bulbs if he had them.
Aaron was given an autographed guitar tonight which was pretty special since it's usually him giving the guitar to the troops. Problem is, we have no way to get it back to the States. It's in a soft case and we aren't allowed to carry it on. So, hopefully, they will ship it to him!
Was back in my room by 10 pm and got my internet working "sporadically". I had the most AWESOME HOT SHOWER and am going to bed soon…hopefully by 1 am. We have a 7:30 am "call time" for our flight to our next camp tomorrow.
By the way, the troops LOVE country music!!!
We were ready to go at 7:15 am and our escorts showed up in a passenger van with no truck for the luggage. It's hard enough for us to climb through the seats with all our backpacks but impossible with large pieces of luggage. I just set mine on the ground and said, "Good luck" and walked off. PLUS, all the luggage was supposed to go to the PAX terminal for palletizing while we got "to go" boxes from the DFAC.
We did go by the DFAC and got "to go boxes" and then went to the terminal. Found out our flight is at least 1 hour late which means we arrived at the PAX terminal at 8 am and won't depart until 11 am….if it comes in then. IF someone had just checked with the terminal this morning, they would have known that we could have sat down and eaten at the DFAC and still be on time at the PAX terminal. When we walked in, they were checking ID's at the door and our "escort" walked inside and just left us to deal with it! Obviously, our escorts need a little more training. Aaron had to climb over the seats with the luggage in the van and sit several rows back. He couldn't close the door to the van and the escort sitting in the front seat just sat there…never moved. Aaron finally climbed back over the seats and managed to lean out and shut the door. When we stopped at the PAX terminal, our escort bailed out and just left us sitting in the van….with no way to open the doors without climbing over the seats.
So here we sit at the PAX terminal….waiting to fly to Baghdad. Hopefully it won't be more than 1 hour late. Evidently the flight is coming in from Bahrain!
Flight finally arrived and we departed at 11 AM. There were a few other soldiers on the flight and a Navy Admiral on the flight deck. Landed Baghdad and our escorts there were waiting for us. Always good to see "old friends" and Ellen is one of the dearest. We drove to the JVB and got checked in. The staff at the JVB have been here a year already and they return to Louisiana in a couple of weeks. They are being replaced by Idaho, but they won't talk like we do. LOL. They gave me my OWN ROOM – the Taji Suite – what I consider as "mine".
First meeting was with an Army Colonel. We walked in and Aaron shook his hand and then the Colonel yells like a school girls, "Oh My God". Evidently he is a HUGE fan of Bill Cowan's. It was a great visit with him. Aaron signed autographs for the staff and took photos with everyone but I think Cowan took just as many photos. We walked down the street and met with a one Star Army General and signed autographs for the staff there.
Came back to the JVB and then went over to the stage so Aaron could do a little shopping before sound check. Evidently the pallet with all our equipment did not arrive until 3 pm so everything was running behind. Took Aaron to my favorite jewelry shop and they gave him a great deal on a cross and necklace. The shop is closing at the end of February. We walked into the PX and all I needed to buy was a tooth brush. NONE. The shelves were almost bare and they are not re-stocking anything in anticipation of closing down. Very sad but glad we have succeeded to this point.
Aaron did sound check and then we went back to the JVB for a quick dinner and to "rest" (at least they did) for an hour. Show time here is 8 pm instead of 7 pm. Ellen and her co-workers were there and I met the new lady in charge of the "money". My friend Chase Martin found me. I met Chase in 2004 when I was in country with Chely Wright. Haven't stayed in regular contact with him so was delighted when he "found" me. Also another SO guy – Matt – was there. Aaron, Bill and I had visited his compound this time last year and now he's back over here!
The Colonel who is the big fan was there and definitely enjoyed the show. The place was packed all the way back to the barricades. I knew it would be a LONG autograph line and I was right. But, Aaron and my boys set a new record – 276 photos autographed, plus a photo taken with all 276 individually, and several "personal" items signed IN LESS THAN AN HOUR!!!! I was truly impressed. Wish I could take them on the road with me.
So, back at the lodging and it's a little after 11 pm. Our "call" time is 5:30 am, so not much sleep tonight. Sort of the "norm" on this tour though.
Got 4 hours sleep and we were ready to go at 5:15 am. Weren't supposed to leave until 5:30 am but our escorts didn't show up until 5:45 am! As Bill and I were starting to get into the back seat of the suburban, the girl driving ours started driving away. Aaron was in the front seat and yelled and stopped her.
Our plane was already on the ground when we arrived so I talked to the flight crew to make sure we had time to go get "to go" boxes at the DFAC. They said we were fine so our escorts dropped us off and they took our bags back to be palletized. When we came out of the DFAC, Bill had one foot inside the suburban and again the girl started driving off. Scared me because this time he had his hands full. We managed to yell loud enough to scare her and she stopped.
Flight crew was from Little Rock but not one that flew me with Filter which was surprising. Aaron sat on the flight deck for the 30 minute flight. Landed at Al Asad and ALL the marines are gone. Navy is now handling things at this base. Stayed in the same lodging where I stayed with Charlie Daniels and Joe Nichols. Nice house with separate bedrooms and showers and bathrooms at the end of the hall. When I got into my room, I realized that my passport was not in my bag. I also remembered that I had never taken it out of my back pocket and put it back in my bag after we left the DFAC in Baghdad. Uhh—ohhh!!! At least I have another passport but the problem was the Kuwait Visa. Numbers wouldn't match and they'd never let me out of the country with that. We contacted Bagdad to start searching for is as there was a pretty limited area where I had been. Wasn't sure if I lost it while still in Baghdad or in the air on the flight over!
Everyone went to sleep except Van and I went to the White Elephant to use the internet. At around 11:30 am our time, Ellen in Baghdad emailed to say they found my passport and were trying to find a way to get it to me. Praise God!!!!
First thing on the agenda today is to go to the DFAC for lunch. Then an office call. The office call was fun – both Navy guys. At one point, I was telling them about not being able to buy a toothbrush at the DFAC in Baghdad. One of the soldiers said that he had a box of tooth brushes people had sent him and would give me one before we left. We talked some more and then I gave them cds and coins. The soldier who offered to give me the tooth brush said, "Honey I'm going to give you the best tooth brush you've ever had for giving me these". Bill and Aaron fell off their chairs laughing because Bill tells a really "off-color" joke about a toothbrush in his opening act. We told the soldier to listen closely tonight. J
From there we went to visit the Fire Department. These are contractors but most are former military. They had cooked steaks and burgers for "lunch" for us but no one told us! It smelled heavenly but we were all too full to eat.
They gave Aaron a beautiful plaque and let me sit in the fire truck. I decided to pay him back for that darn truck horn. He was standing in front of the fire truck and I laid on the horn. Pretty cool.
We went to the show site from there and I spent an hour trying to get on the internet. It wouldn't accept my credit card. Finally I was able to make the guy at the Green Beans counter understand my problem and he pointed outside and said "go pay". So, off to the building we went and guess what…you had to PAY some guy at a desk in there. Was delighted to have internet service at any cost.
Went back to lodging after sound check and everyone except me got to take a nap. I had to shower and pack my bags. Once again, we all get to sleep in our clothes! Has been that way the entire tour.
The show was great. It was inside the theatre and we had a big crowd. Aaron was disappointed that there were a few empty seats but I told him it's the biggest crowd I've ever seen there. Our Navy escort said the same thing.
Aaron signed about 150 autographs after the show and took photos with everyone. I met the "Seal Team" and they invited us over to their lodging after the show. I knew Aaron would be too tired so I gave them all cds and coins and thanked them for the invite. We're going to stay in touch and if one of my other groups come through here, we'll take them up on the offer.
After the show, Aaron was going to midnight chow and I went back to Green Beans to answer emails. Since we didn't have to leave lodging until 7:30 am the next morning, I planned to work until around 2:30 am and get caught up. Green Beans was closed and everything was locked up except for the area where I was sitting. I was getting a lot done when Van walked in and said our flight time had changed and it was "wheels up" at 7 am. Evidently I had misunderstood the email earlier. I only looked at 1000 and assumed it was 10:00 am. Actually, it was 1000 Zulu which is 7 am!
Van was there because he lost his wallet and thought it might be backstage. He found it but it was outside in the sand! I guess I passed my good luck on to him tonight.
I closed up the computer at around 12:30 am and walked back to lodging. Only made one wrong turn, too, which is a record for me I think. J Van had told me that everyone was going to walk over to the DFAC at 6 am for breakfast but there was a note on my door from Reka saying everyone was walking over at 5 am. So, I set my alarm for 4:30 am and went to bed….in my clothes and make-up AGAIN because we have no bags!
I got up at 4:30 am anticipating the 5:00 am walk to the DFAC for breakfast. Nope. Given bad intel….they aren't going until 6:00 am! Walked over with everyone and arrived at about 5:45 am only to find that the DFAC did not open at 5 am today and wouldn't open until 6 am. So we stood outside in the COLD waiting for it to open.
After breakfast, we had a few minutes at lodging before going to the airfield. Once we arrived, we learned that the flight was about an hour late! When it arrived, we had another aircrew from Dyess and one of the guys remembered me from flying me several times a couple of years ago. Love that! J Aaron and I sat up on the flight deck and as we taxied out, the control tower advised that Kirkut (where we were landing) could not take us and we had to return to the ramp and just "sit" for 30 minutes. Finally got airborne and it was only about a 35 minute flight. OH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING – ELBA WAS ON THE FLIGHT WITH MY PASSPORT!!!!
The reason all the flights were delayed is because General Austin (4 Star who took General Odierno's place) was out visiting the troops today. He was in his helicopter and all air space is closed when he is coming in or going out. Great for the troops but sucked for us.
Our escorts met us and took us to lodging. Lodging is an old building with separate bedrooms. Aaron got his own room and I'm sharing with Elba. Guys are bunked 3 or 4 to a room with Bill in one of the rooms.
We had "free time" until going to the DFAC for Thanksgiving Dinner. First time in YEARS that Aaron, Bill and I have gotten to eat Thanksgiving Dinner. And it was fabulous. So glad the troops had such a fantastic spread and the food tastes so much better than it did when I first started coming over here.
After lunch Aaron, Bill and I went to an office call with the Commander. After that we were supposed to go to the Purple Heart ceremony with General Austin except guess what – he was running late. We went to the Bazaar and then to the Exchange trying to find some last minute gifts for Aaron's family. No luck. Came back to lodging and Aaron lay down for a few minutes while we waited for the call regarding General Austin's arrival. Finally got the call and headed back over to the DFAC for the Purple Heart Ceremony. But, it was OVER when we arrived. At least we got to meet the two young men who received the Purple Hearts. And, also met the Ambassador to Iraq and General Austin.
Went to the stage for sound check and then to lodging so Aaron could nap. I took my shower because once again I have to sleep in my clothes. Our bags have to go out at midnight and then we leave at 7:30 am for the DFAC. They wanted us to leave at 6 am and SIT at the terminal until our flight left at 9:50. Of course ALL this gets blamed on the Air Force. I told my guys my "pajamas" look a lot like the clothes I'm wearing the next day. LOL
Show is at the same stage where we took the mortar attack with Filter on their first visit to Iraq. Aaron had a huge crowd and a great final show. Very enthusiastic fans and a perfect Thanksgiving for us. The autograph session was held inside. When we had the mortar attack with Filter, we were outside signing autographs. While Aaron was performing, I walked behind the stage to Green Beans to get a coffee. A guy was in line behind me and started talking to me. He was in civilian clothes so I asked him what he does. He is a Linguist and speaks Kurdish, Arabic, and English. And he lives in NASHVILLE. He said the largest Kurd population outside his homeland is in Nashville. How bizarre is THAT? He is a huge country music fan so I gave him a cd and my card to call me when he gets back to Nashville so I can take him out to the Opry.
The autograph line was long – signed about 200 autographs and he finished it in less than an hour. We were driving by to look at a wall that they have built with all 4,000+ names of those killed in action in Iraq displayed. While we were sitting there, the loud speakers came on and I thought it was "incoming". Wasn't incoming but warning that there was intel that something might happen. (They like to "flex" on holidays!). So, we had to go to lodging immediately because our house is a "safe" place.
Got changed and my bags into the hallway. I was worried that I would snore and keep my roomie awake because I'm so tired. Plus she stepped off our porch tonight and twisted her ankle. Looks just like mine did when I did the same thing 3 years ago. It is black and blue and very swollen. Really feel sorry for her. I'm sitting here with all the lights on and typing this road report and she is peeling the wallpaper off the walls with her snores! LOL
I am so, so blessed to be able to spend this time with our troops deployed overseas. I have such mixed emotions about our troops coming out of here. I'm so proud that we succeeded and very excited to watch how Iraq will evolve over the next few years. But, I'm also sad that this "era" of my life is coming to a close. I know that I will go to other countries (probably Afghanistan and Korea a lot) but considering that I've been coming here since 2003 on 32 tours, it's sad to think I may never see the "independent, thriving Iraq". For the families of those who lost loved ones, please know that those wonderful men and women would be so very proud of what they accomplished here. I spent a long time talking to an air traffic controller tonight and got a lot more insight into just how successful we were.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my wonderful friends and family. You enrich my life and your support of my efforts is invaluable.
BLACK FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH – KIRKUK AB, IRAQ TO KUWAIT and SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH – KUWAIT TO NASHVILLE:
So, didn't get a lot of sleep last night between the snoring and then at 4:15 am the band members in the room across from me woke up. They were out in the hallway using the microwave and talking. Even though they were talking softly, the house is marble and concrete so every little noise is magnified.
Left lodging to go to the DFAC to grab "to-go" boxes again and sit at the passenger terminal. Our flight landed early and we were able to depart early. Flight crew is out of Dyess (Abilene, Texas) again and were so sweet. They let Aaron and I sit on the flight deck and then about 20 minutes into the flight, I came down and asked the guys if they wanted to rotate up there. Only one of them went up and only for about 5 minutes! They were all just too tired, I think. It was only an hour and 45 minute flight so we landed at 11 am and were back at the Radisson by 12 noon I had to immediately depart to "hotel shop" again. Went to the Marriott (too "formal"), the Regency (beautiful but Islamic and very strict with what women can and cannot do), the Holiday Inn (4 star and really nice but in an area where it would be hard to control the groups because it is in the middle of town), and then back to the Hilton where I had stayed a few times but the staff wasn't nice. The Hilton was the winner of all the hotels I visited (8 total) and I told them the problem with my previous visits. They were apologetic and said the hotel is under new management – Egyptian. If they can match the prices at the Radisson, then that's where we will go.
Contee was such a sweetheart to drive me around to all the hotels. I'm sure he was bored out of his mind. J But now he'll be able to recommend hotels to the other groups that bring entertainment into the area.
Made it back to the hotel in time to shower and go to dinner with the guys. I invited my friend Wally and his wife to have dinner with us since it would be the only time I had to see him this trip. Hopefully I'll have more time for him next visit.
Had to re-pack all my luggage and supply bags which was NOT an easy task. Usually I leave one duffle with supplies at the hotel but since the Radisson is closing, can't do it this time. L We took pictures with the staff and I hugged everyone good-bye. Really, really hate that they are closing.
We left for the airport at 9:30 pm and they had changed the check-in counter for United. Security was much more intense this time. Lots more questions to answer. I got checked in and then saw Lucky pointing at me and he was still waiting in line. He forgot that he had to check 2 bags and security was hassling him about what was in the case. It was electronics and ear monitors for the show. Finally got that sorted out and everyone checked in.
Sitting in the Lounge (different one than before – probably because of the merger with Continental)l waiting to board the flight! United upgraded me because of my Global Status. I had the names of the pilots and crew and worked them to get Aaron and Bill upgraded because there was lots of seats left in first class…no luck. L At least there was plenty of space for everyone. I didn't eat anything but went to sleep immediately. Every time I woke up, Aaron was sitting up studying the manual for the new airplane he purchased a few weeks ago. Bill slept though. I didn't eat any dinner on the flight because of the huge meal we had at the Radisson. The flight attendants tried to force feed me every time I woke up. I was able to answer some emails off line and work on some other projects the last few hours before we landed. Very little turbulence throughout the flight.
We landed on time in DC and I used my Global Entry pass to skip Immigration lines. Love that thing – when it works. More and more airports are now offering this. All our luggage and equipment arrived and we breezed through Customs. Bill Cowan had to pick up his luggage and fly to Richmond so he could drive back to DC! So stupid but the cost of the roundtrip DC flight was unrealistic.
I worked on email until our flight to Nashville was called. We departed on time and landed a few minutes early. My "babies" were waiting for me at baggage claim. All our luggage arrived and I'm happy to be home – even if it is only for 3 days before leaving for Switzerland. It was another fantastic visit with our troops. From the size of the audiences we had, you'd never know there are so many fewer troops deployed. Of course, now all eyes are on what is happening in South Korea.
