00:00Hey folks, Senator Mark Kelly and I know people are seeing the news stories about the USS Abraham Lincoln about
00:13them being on cruise for an extended period of time, not being back and forth for 250 days and mental
00:21health issues that some of the sailors are having, some of which have reported that they've
00:30tried or contemplated jumping off the ship. It's a tragic thing. The other issue here is why this is really
00:40challenging for folks is that this president got us into this war with Iran with no strategic goal, without a
00:47plan, without a timeline, and he has no way out.
00:50And because of that, you've got these deployments that are being extended to much beyond what anybody had anticipated or
01:00planned for. But when you have a president that has done such a poor job explaining what this is all
01:08about, and how the American people are getting anything out of this.
01:12The other thing is there needs to be an investigation on why this is happening. Why are the living conditions
01:17aboard that ship, you know, so poor at this point, and these deployments going on for so long that people
01:24feel like they need to end their lives.
01:26So I'm calling for this administration and the Department of Defense here to investigate what's going on aboard the Abraham
01:35Lincoln.
