it is certainly an offense defense mix for an active defense. the previous administration, in their missile defense review, they tried to get some of these problems we laid out. you mentioned the debacle that happened during the previous administration. there was other program that didn't come to fruition. the gdi that president trump wanted deployed were not deployed because of the debacle of the rkd program and a lisa biden administration with all kinds of directions to take. there is some rumors at this point that the biden administration might be focusing on some of these more advanced programs for this notion of something to trade for arms control with the russians. you see in scholarships, there is pressure to include missile defense in arms control treaties with russia. what is your view of that and do you share a concern that it going to be -- among the more advanced programs could be on the table for negotiation? mr. turner: i think there needs to be a redline on risk -- missile defense being part of an arms-control negotiation. russia

it's had such a great impact on the missile-defense policy and missile-defense technology. to respond to the proliferation of the missile threat i want to say for a moment what's happened in israel has helped greatly the width of the debate on capitol hill. we used to deal with the issues of the arguments of missile-defense of work and its provocative. was israel hasas shown by the deployment of the iron dome is itom isn't. it is a defensive system and it iss the escalatory as they've used the iron dome and it's given them time and space to be able to measure the response as opposed to if they didn't have the technology what they wouldat have to do at the moment was facing people and it is cost-effective because the amount of damage and loss of life that is prevented and it works unbelievably. you say that you are going to leave both your populations and infrastructure and critical capabilities. about the d escalatory nature and how it paints a picture on the receiving end of aggression. the ability to be restrained in that way brings us to another point, the biden administ

-- defense intelligence enterprise? what are you doing to mitigate these cuts? >> ranking member kelly, we support the president's budget. our goal is to look at the resources that we have and then focus those resources, really optimize those resources, on the key priorities that are facing the department. that comes from looking internally and making sure that our priorities are aligned with the director of national intelligence. and then working closely with the director of national intelligence and the rest of defense intelligence inter enterprise to ensure we understand what the requirements are, to make sure our war fighters have what they need as priority, then focusing on the top priority needs. we're looking at that now. our plan is to ensure that we report back to you on where those gaps are and where we think that we need heightened focus and emphasis for the future. >> yeah, yeah. and to all three of y'all, this is a battle we can't lose, whether it is budgetary, economically, intelligence wise. i would just

depending how you describe defense spending that encompasses all natural defense programs and then the defense department shared 715 billion of biden's request in the subcommittee have a smaller share because they'll have military construction so those are the dollar amounts we are talking about. one.6 percent increase over the current level. or it would be if enacted. versus on the left a 10 percent decrease they had a vote on that last year which did not go well for the liberals and to the read write people like senator inhofe who chairs the committee would like to see at least a 3 percent annual increase or three or 5 percent of what he is advocating so biden hasn't gone the way the liberals want the not quite as high as inhofe once but it would definitely be a dispute still have to figure out the total amount of discretionary spending and all the subcommittee allocations in the senate so it will be a big dispute they are that i should point out that the amount of spidey spending biden is proposing for defense is the largest amount since world war ii of inflation adjusted terms exce

one, you're the secretary of defense, and you have a relationship with everybody else in the defense department on a level of - you're the mr. secretary, i assume. did anybody call you don? rumsfeld: some friends do. lamb: in the pentagon? rumsfeld: oh sure. lamb: and they call you rummy, and all that? well, the story i want to ask you about is the tori clarke story the day of 9/11. rumsfeld: yes. lamb: you'd been rescuing people, and you'd been at the pentagon until 11 o'clock at night, and she asked you if you'd called your wife. do you remember this? rumsfeld: i do. first, when you say i was rescuing people - i was out there a very short period of time. i went out to see what had happened. i helped out briefly, and got right back to my office. i do. it was - i don't know what time it was - 10:30 or something. lamb: you say 11 in the book. rumsfeld: eleven at night? lamb: yes. rumsfeld: yes. lamb: yes. rumsfeld: and we'd had a tough day, and the country had a tough day, and hundreds and hundreds, and indeed, thousands of people had been killed. our building was smoking and burning,

the secretary of defense is the secretary of defense. i have restrictions that were unusual to me, i hadn't had them in the past. sen. hawley: mr. salesses, let me ask you about your response to this. you said something earlier to senator portman when he was asking about the same issue, you said, and i am quoting "several things happened in the spring" that may have led to these changes. what are you referring to? mr. salesses: we had a number of incidents in the spring where we had helicopters flying over private citizens, spy planes flying over folks who were protesting. we also had law-enforcement officers wearing military uniforms which sometimes confuse people. so when the new secretary came in, he wanted to make sure he had guidance on making decisions. i will point out, senator, the secretary of defense is the only authority of ordering military personnel into civil disturbance operations. that is the secretary of defense. this is more clarifying operation because it talks about not just civil disturbance, it talks about using hel

missile defense is one. shipbuilding to a larger extent, every year something that they push parred. but it's amazing how bipartisan the consensus is at least on the defense panels as to where the increases should go and, in fact, where the decreases should come to pay for them. the members of the appropriations and armed services committee tend to hardware, bending metal, you see, those are the programs that have established constituencies that have people who have, you know, high-paying jobs, performing this work and so, you know, that's where you have a lot of political support and you see that in the house appropriation defense bill that we have just gotten in the last few days where they would increase biden's procurement request and make a similar decrease in research and development accounts. so overall, there's a lot of consensus of where they spend the money and i can give you a few examples if you'den like. things like medical research, every single year they add about a billion dollars for medical

the secretary of defense it. he told me he was not allowed to request the support and i asked him if he wanted me to share that and he said no. i can't even ask for the support is what he told me. but he did say if i do call you, will you be able to support me? i said, yes, but i have to bit -- get approval from the secretary of the army and the secretary of defense. sen. klobuchar: he had been denied by the sergeant at arms and that is a subject for last week. the subject for today is given all that -- and we know we would have been in much better shape if they had been called in ahead and if he had authority -- but now we are into the day and it is june 22 and you are on the phone with them and asking for this authorization, which you felt was unusual to get. is that right? maj. gen. walker: i thought the delay was unusual. we were in support of the metropolitan police department. when the metro top -- metropolitan police department left the traffic control points, what i wanted to do was take those guards and

the defense budget. >> china's investing and extraordinary mounting infrastructure, both in mainland china as well as across the world, is that correct? >> absolutely. they are around the world investing in other countries infrastructures as well as their own. >> in january, president biden inherited a crumbling economy connected of course with covid-19 pandemic as well as mismanagement from the prior administration. and that had more than 10 million americans out of work. i think as you mentioned, the economy, well the unemployment rate has already dropped to 5.8% under president biden's leadership. is that a sort of -- does that match creep endemic? low how does that measure up during the duration of this pandemic? >> so, we are at the levels that we were at the start of the pandemic. we still have a ways to go. but let me -- we touched on this a little, but let me be clear, we think we are on the right path to economic recovery from covid. the american rescue plan did what it set out to you. vaccinati

there was no defensive wounds on her. if there was a scuffle, i would think she would have some bruises. she would've fought back. >> they poured over technical testimony about water in the creek. to them, that flood of data and expert testimony was a complete wash. >> you can bring all the experts in and all the water tests -- it was just pointless. because it was it done may 3rd, 2008. >> like the jury before them, this group's first day of deliberations and did without a verdict. >> as the deliberations took longer and longer it, became clear that we needed to be nervous again. >> while sheriff bruce felt more confident than ever, this time around. >> i slept well. i eat well. i went about the rest of my normal duties at work, without a whole lot of concern about it. just expected that phone call to come in and say, we got him. >> the trial jurors return the next morning determined to make a fresh start. was anyone here consistently thinking about leslie, the mother, the wife, doctor? >> we had all the pictures up and

we are always going to maintain the capability of self-defense. we possess the military means and have several options to fully protect our forces in afghanistan and throughout the region. in centcom, the uss ronald reagan carrier strike group is on station. a package of long-range bombers and troop formations are postured to quickly respond if necessary. we will always protect our nation. we maintain an agile counterterrorism capability that is effective now to detect and address any terrorism threat to the united states. in addition to our mission in afghanistan, we continue to defend this country from other threats. we are monitoring north korea, russia, iran, watching china while maintaining strategic deterrence. the department of we are making sure there is no and keep a watchful eye on haiti and cuba. we do all those things serving at home, as well. and i want to recognize the great efforts of our national guard and active duty soldiers fighting wildfires in pacific northwest. as of tuesday morning, california and nevada national guard c-130

john tyranny, where are you on the subject of putting missile defense on the table? in negotiations, you look at missile defense, a stabilizing, and a responsibility to protect americans, or do you look at as a d, stabilizing investment? i'll try to make the st. steven study to do 1st of all we, we initiated that we circulating the signatures on or whatever. so our position is very clear that we think that the abandonment of the a b m 3 and the ballistic missile treaty was a severe mistake. it came about because russian united states and realized that as long as somebody attended that they had missile defense of the other side would have no choice. but to their mind to increase the number of weapons they had to leave. the overwhelmed that purported the fence and became global john reagan and succeeding presence of both parties. all realize what that's ludicrous, we need to limit the number of defense that you can have or capital. and eventually treaty ends up just one site to be, protect my site if it gets assistance, the work which on the credibly. and then the saw

more defense cooperation, and has maritime secured security training. and although lastly, the read it, this actually comes as a surprise to many majority of the people who are here in the philippines filipinos to fight the defense establishment has always been pro america in terms of their leaning and of always race concerns behind closed doors about the abrogation of the visiting forces agreement, which is critical as many believe in deterring the expansion of china in reclamation, in areas in the chinese, the particularly in the spread this group of islands, which the philippines have control of several areas. thank you so much for that. update from an along bringing some breaking news out of hong kong and we're hearing the 1st person to be tried under hong kong. national security law has now been sentenced to a total of 9 years in prison. tony on kit was convicted on tuesday on charges of inciting secession and terrorism. he was arrested last year for writing a motor by into a group of police officers, as you can see in that video right there. while

complicate their access towards ah, the political turmoil into the president ordered the sacking of the defense and justice ministers just hours after imposing a freeze on parliament and security for his store manager, there is offices in tunis overall stop out of the building. ah, hello. hello rob. and you want to know if they were like my headquarters hearing coming up in the next 30 minutes left on the g. mccarthy skills i majority to become prime minister designate, offering hope to a country struggling under economic crisis. also the human cost of the ask and conflict view and says the record number of women and children are dying in the fighting. they call the student those who are trying to learn knowledge. they killed in a book into the program, tennessee was facing its biggest political crisis since the 2011 revolution that introduced democracy to his president and now sacks the minister of defense of the acting minister of justice. after dismissing the prime minister, what earlier he prose parliament for 30 days, as soon as his biggest political crisis since the revolution of 2011 tha

you know, they've been quite defensive through the let go 3 cents about 2 quite defensively minded midfield of the wing back to give them real threat out why didn't yaki mala in particular has been one of the stars of the tournament. for me, he got another assist last night for denmark's 2nd. go and look them up. got mentioned that the moment is great, incalculable. in football, it can depart at any moment. but while you've got it, it's so powerful and it can change game. so denmark will be hoping not sticks around for a little bit longer. i'm sure they will just a couple of matches left until the final who is going to make it through finance sunday, putting me on the spot. i think england, that professionalism that i mentioned from england, i think that should see them through against them or they should be able to hold the danish juggernaut. but the game is hard to call italy and spain to very good seems quite evenly matched a lot. depends only have been playing, they have been playing fantastic. they, they have the quality, they have the mentality, they have everything you need, and spai

the defense secretary for both presidents george w. bush and gerald ford, his critics say he presided over systemic torture, massacres of civilians, illegal wars. >> donald rumsfeld washe most influential dense secretary we have had in the last half-century. he left a powerful legacy. unfortunately, almost all of his legacy was negative. amy: we will look at his legacy with retired colonel andrew bacevich, whose son was killed in iraq. he is author of the new book "after the apocalypse: america's role in a world transformed." we will also speak with him about the u.s. airstrikes in syria and iraq targeting and running ba militia and the eminent pullout of almost all u.s. troops from afghanistan. into ethiopia where a cease-fire has been declared amidst the worst famine in a decade. >> the consequences and impact of the immediate cease-fire remain unclear. the humanitarian colleagues tell us there has been a breakdown in telecommunications, internet services in tigray as of today so the impact to the current situation on the humanitaria

additionally, we will maintain the capability of self-defense. we possess the military means and have several options at our disposal to protect our force in afghanistan and throughout the region. if needed, the uss ronald reagan is on station. a package of long-range bombers, additional fighter-bombers, and troop formations are postured to quickly respond if necessary and directed. further, we will always protect our nation. we maintain an agile, counterterrorism capability that is effective now to detect and address any terrorism threat to the united states. in addition to our mission in afghanistan, we continue to defend this country from all kinds of other threats. we are monitoring russia, north korea, iran, we maintain strategic deterrence for china. the department of defense ensures no terrorists launch attacks on syria or africa. we keep an eye on haiti and cuba and we do this while we serve here at home as well. i want to recognize the great efforts of our reserve component, our national guard, and active-duty soldiers fighting wildfires

and the only defense we would have to overwhelming. so lots of data to upgrade and increase the number of others that we have. so there's a little bit of a race on that. it's not just united states as seeking to modernize, is able to increase the numbers and style weapons. what is all of the other nice states, and then the weather's doing some upgrade on that. and i know we'd like to blame it on russia or china in doing this. we have to do it. we've been doing it for a long time. and they are now doing this too. and it was the russian, they want us back when the united states pulled out of the abm treaty by george w bush. that it was a lead to them having an i was ration, doing new types, weapons, and was just to get them powerful weapons. jacob convene intellectually, some of the best writers in think here is that i know when it comes to thinking about the broad dimensions of national security. and i'm interested in where current thinking is and where your thinking is on america's nuclear arsenal. it's aging parts of it. there are the

defense budget. why has the president done less than that in this budget when we had a bipartisan commission say that we need 3% to 5% real growth in defense spending every year while every other other than homeland, every other non-defense ariane creased by up to 16%? >> congressman, i think you have to look at the historical spending on a lot of the non-defense programs compared to defense. also, i appreciate the growth. there's an assumption that we don't have to look at outdated technology as defense reprioritizes measures on the other side of the ledger so we think there are efficiencies to be had in defense to also to the tune of over $700 billion still be the world power with regard to our military might. >> and on that note, how much of that $700 -- how much of the defense budget of the $753 billion, how much of that is actually spent on climate change, green fuels, things that don't build tapings, train people to drive tanks, won't build airplanes, don't refuel airplanes? they are not operat

these pictures were released by the defense ministry ahead of celebrations. next month to month, 30 years of independence. several politicians showed up to parliament with high heels and encouraged the defense minister to wear them to the parade. ah, this is not to say that these are the top stories the year on his warning, e c o p. s. government and rebels into good i to respect a cease fire or wisc spiraling further into crisis. more than $2000000.00 people are said to be on the verge of starvation because of fighting, which is lasted 8 months after. so i has the latest from addis ababa was the grand forces have been saying, and they've been showing pictures of men who.

and these are the ministries of 480 of, as we call them, defense, justice and interior. thus were the powers of the executive are concentrated mostly, and this move should be one of several moves that alex, but the ice remains as paul for those he is now with the military on his side and labor unions on his fight, obviously. and with people in the streets also supporting his decisions. if, if this situation continues, if, if he's able to push all his decisions without major problems, probably he's going to be in charge is going to be able to do what he wants. indeed, i mean, yeah. so yeah, just within the last hour, obviously we heard news that the president was speaking to the unions with this announcements about defense and justice ministers and certainly the defense portfolio and wondering what sort of conversation he's been having with military leaders as well. that's right. i mean, well, still in the realm of speculations about what he said to the labor unions, what they said to him, how much support they offered. usually they spot him. and i mean, to talk about the

defense, and i do that for the national security council, as well. and i will speak also for this one time on the part -- on behalf of the joint chiefs. the same applies to them. we've always adhered to providing best professional military advice, bar none. it was candid, honest in every single occasion. we did that all the time, every time. the other thing that i think is important to note here is that i, the other members of the joint chiefs, and all of us in uniform, we take an oath, an oath to a document, an oath to the constitution of the united states, and not one time did we violate that. at the entire time, from time of commissioning to today, i can say with certainty that every one of us maintained our oath of allegiance to that document, the constitution, everything that's contained within it. and we also maintaine the tradition of civilian control of the military. we did that without fail, and we also maintained the tradition of an apolitical military. we did that then, we do that now, and we will do that forever, all the time, bob. >> i'd

he led the department of defense on january 6. when the capitol building came under siege, the capitol police were badly outnumbered. the world looked to the department of defense to protect our government from the attack. yet dod did not authorize the deployment of d.c. national guard troops until nearly four hours after local officials first pled for help. even though we were under full-scale assault, dod hesitated until vice president pence, not president trump, gave the order to "clear the capitol." dod's explanations of its own actions have failed to address critical questions. why did military leader's place unusual restrictions on commanders on the ground? mr. miller says he first learned the mob had entered the capitol between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. so why did the defense department wait until after 5:00 p.m. before sending the national guard to the capital. today's hearing at the end of our investigation, this committee with other committees will seek a full accounting of this attack. the inspector of the capitol, this o

reporter: in 1975, gerald ford made him defense secretary. the youngest ever. ronald reagan sent into the middle east. >> i am submitting the name to be secretary of defense. reporter: george w. bush reappointed him. within months, america came under attack. rumsfeld was in his pentagon office on september 11 wh an airliner hit the building. he helped move the injured and then planned a way to strike back. rumsfeld believed the iraq war would be over in months. the fierce insurrection that followed thousands of lives when no weapons were found, rumsfeld struggled to explain why. >> there are things we know that we know. there are no unknowns, there are things we now know we don't know. there are also unknown unknowns, things we do not know we don't know. reporter: he was prepared to push boundaries. but when these photographs appear, there was a backlash. >> these events occurred on my watch and i take full responsibility. reporter: the scandal damaged him and with his iraq strategy in question, he resigned. donald rumsfeld reshaped the u.s. military and works

>> the job of the defense of defenses to keep america safe from our enemies but we can't do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks. >> biden's state department is staffed by big thinkers who downplay china's brutal crackdown on human rights as they decry our own track record in the us. the even invited the un to come in and grade their antiracism efforts. this is completely insane but again they are a bunch of self loving idiots, they are happiest when america is on her knees begging for approval and cooperation from europe and others. our intelligence agencies also risk running into the same credibility buzz saw. remember obama's director of national intelligence jim clapper claimed they were not monitoring domestic communications and we found out they were. >> when i too to see if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question, does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. it does not. not wittingly. >> and now you think of it as a pretext biden's white house is using a backdoor to get into your text mes

do they have the right to self-defense? and seeing how in each of those, has been usedgainst black blood people and that the status, the legal status of black folk has not altered that significantly. so whether enslaved, whether free black, whether denizen -- which was that halfway limbo land between enslaved and citizen -- whether newly emancipated freed people, whether jim crow black or whether post-civil rights african american, the right to bear arms, the right to a well-regulated militia, d the right to self-defense are in fact fractured. that citizenship is fractured. it is hobbleby this intense anti-blackness, is fear of black people, this sense of black people as a danger to white americasociety. nermeen: so professor anderson, could yotalk about tt, in particular, the role of black militias, which you talk about in the book, their role in the early 19th century, to what use they we deployed, and then how it is that whites stripped black militias of their official standing? >> yes. and so in louisiana, when it was s

so, "insanity defense" means doing the same thing and expecting a different result. my point is we have been doing the same thing and have not made the country safer. host: you were very honest at the end of the book. you did not come up with the title, did you? guest: no, we all have to credit our children -- i was going to call the book "the war on terror," but my journalist daughter, said that is boring, please call it "insanity defense," and she was right. i'm glad i listened to her. host: let's take a deep dive. you write "consider the track record of the last 30 years, blowing off multiple terrorism warnings and then creating a homeland security apparatus neglected and misused by successive presidents and congresses." you go into great detail on the formation of the department first led by governor tom ridge at the time and how it asked you -- it has changed over the last four presidents. guest: well, three presidents. it was formed after 9/11, it missed the clinton presidency, but i do make the point it is four presidents that have not had a comprehensive secu

if it wasn't self defense, because it was self defense, the key fact as he was reacting to an attack and self defense, people can defend themselves as well as respond to defend the lives, the family's life, other people's lives, colleagues and so on. when produced a law in parliament guaranteeing the right to self defense also for those defending themselves at home, we assume that no one should be unfairly tried sentence. in cases of self defense thrust 3 more, some bearing in italy throughout their exact rules and gets him a license. oh, if you have special commission from the security commission in relative, ron, many incidents involving weapons, the wide controls are needed and they exist already very straight through some don licenses. and it's certainly not a problem. and they delayed the problems for us or not owning farms, self defense, but in the entry of illegal immigrants often come here to also commit serious crime . your defense has to be proportional to the office you to see if i for you, you can't shoot me back, but it has to be a real, an actual credit for you or other

that's a condemnation of corporate america not a defense of raytheon and especially not a defense for a defense contractor like raytheon that depends on tax dollars. >> raytheon the second largest defense company with over 16 billion in annual revenue making weapons of war including missile interceptors like this one. defense secretary lloyd austin as well as former president trump's defense chief mark esper works there cotton fired another broadside last month accusing the defense secretary allowing critical race theory to be part of the service academies asking him directly if he thought the military was racist. >> the military like any organization, will have its challenges but i do not believe it is a fundamentally racist organization. >> senator cotton also wants to investigate whether raytheon violated any federal civil rights law while pursuing its diversity training. bret? >> bret: lucas tomlinson at the pentagon. lucas, thanks. up next, the panel on the u.s. invitation to the u.n. to investigate racism in america. plus, we will talk about inflation and the free britney moveme

alongside with commentary from the president and the secretary of defense. you know, that's a very positive amount of boss testifity. we won't be done when legislation is done in this case. we have a lot to do to make sure that leadership at every level of the department is putting forward the time and resources invested in the future of this prevention and climate and culture and accountability and victim care framework. we would expect the same thing would have to happen i think if we wanted to move on a fast timeline elsewhere, we would need that same leadership. i would say one thing that i said before, buff i feel it bears repeating. the problem has to be well-defined as well, and here in sexual assault and sexual harassment, the problem is very well-defined. we've spent is many years, as you've pointed out, with many studies on it, and we have a lot of data so that helps jump start everything and the better and more clearly we can define the problem. that we're solving, that will propel and give us added momentum to moving foofrld. >> my next question

first i want to say i speak for myself and not for the defense department. you are absolutely right, that it's going to be difficult for both the american people, as well as our service members to maintain trust in this institution, the united states military, that has traditionally garnered a lot of trust from both our service members and the american people, if we continue to push political ideology that was intended to be divisive, and when i say that, i'm speaking about critical race theory. right now, our military service members who have been trained to be a political, they shoulder an unfair burden at the moment, and that is, it is difficult to remain apolitical in an environment that is becoming hyper politicized. and people are very principled, who have joined our armed forces. they carry great deal about this country, and when their principles are under attack, they want to speak up, but when you speak up and you are labeled politically partisan for it, you face a very terrible dilemma that shouldn't exist in our armed forces. >> laura: congressman

and fall back to another defensive position. very skillfully done. saving american lives and un lives and punishing the enemy. he got people off the roads. if troops were on the road, they're easy targets for the enemy. you get them off the road and lastly, he began night fights. night fighting. americans are not really that keen on night fighting and ridgeway forced them to do it and proved to be really successful. ridgeway really left a mark, a positive mark and he was able to restore the 38th parallel technically as you can see from the truce line while we are below the 38th parallel on the western part, much -- most of korea we are above the 38th parallel and what we did was we occupied position that is were really strong defensively. but they made it clear not to try and conquer north korea. now, mcarthur meanwhile was grumbling all along. one of the most interesting things to realize is that mcour for had not been in the united states in 12 years. he was completely detached from his homeland and as a result of that, he rea

it's the department of defense, the department of commerce. and i think that by continuing the national space council, the biden administration has made it clear that leadership in the space continues to be a priority. and they already have a number of initiatives going forward. the program to land the first woman on the moon of the mars exploration was perseverance and ingenuity. watching those videos and seeing not just the attention in the senate but across america really was inspiring and i think that is the endless frontier act innovation competition act is going to help foster that excitement in a lot of places. we will also have two missions to explore venous and the gateway for future deep space exploration. let me finish and say the success also requires that stem workforce i mentioned earlier not just colorado but across the country. we see a lot of muscle that hasn't been used and i think engaging young people in space will take adversity across the country. it's what inspires so many people to go into space and i think that they ha

he and others will discuss defense technology at an event hosted by the emerging technology institute. live coverage here on c-span2. .. >> chapters, 30ndi chapters. 20 women in defense chapters, our 27 divisions, 1,600 corporate companies that are members spread across some 3,500 facilities across our nation, as well as our considerable expertise in promoting constructive dialog between government and the private sector to create and support the emerging technologies institute. as an independent affiliate of ndia, will promote the technological advances most essential to our country's economic and competitor needs and success and these same tech followings will be fundamental to any future conflict, both from a deterrence, as well as a war-fighting standpoint. just like ndi's leaders saw the need over 100 years ago when ndi was founded to change the direction of the role of the private sector and the government, we, the leaders of ndi today see a compelling need again to shift that direction. i want to personally thank the vice-chairman of the joints chiefs of staff hyten for undersc

if the low tier air and defense system works, but the navy operates a sure missile defense system. why doesn't the army take over the to shore which is what the pacom commander asked for in guam instead of a new multi-billion dollar radar? >> we are going to take the best way to look at air-missile defense. we have a capability and im dome capability where the army is going right now is on integrated command system that will take advantage of convergence using multiple sensors to multiple different shooters and that's where we're going as far as that process. the aegis right now, we don't have people-- not just taking over, we have to train cohort of-- >> my point is there's duplicity, duplicating, and when you talk about jointness, it seems there's excess redundancy and go to things that are significantly overlapping. i'm sorry, but my time is-- thank you. >> before we go to the next person, a few programming notes, we're going to stop at 2:00 and there are votes between here and there, and again, as i did last time, i'm going to try to keep going, so we can maximize the time and

for the ministry of defense. and later on, the minister on her face in earlier indeed is a sense in your heart that gives the soviets. so they took up, she had a provision of on that to see different envision of suffering of our people, to see the countries which we helped to achieve. peace like tajikistan upon the sun was instrumental and to in achieving that settlement between, between 2 sites in project or start and to see them develop, developed and to see the opportunities which are that for the people of afghanistan and for the region. and we cannot utilize it because of the continuation of the what it is disappointed. one day more as one missed one more missed opportunity. but it takes what sites it cannot happen with the goodwill in intention of one site. that's what i was going to come towards because it takes 2 parties to reach. so you say that you've presented the options military military solution is not viable, it will not be in peace. but the situation on the ground is the developer not making advan

and that's face to face meeting of us secretary of defense, lloyd austin with philip in president d good that they're due late thursday night, has proven to be a critical pivot or a boost that's long been needed to finally convince president barry there to fully restored the visiting forces agreement that's been, you know, left hanging in the balance for over a year since he unilaterally abrogated last year. we can all remember that there they abrogate the de visiting force agreement, which allows for the rotation of us troops in the country. after a long time, ally and former police chief was denied a u. s visa by the u as because of his involvement into the drug wars the today at the press conference earlier today by secretary austin and his counterparts, secretary they'll be, learns on that. they talked about this as a welcome development, hoping also in expecting that that would mean a return of activities that have been scaled down since a president's rodrigo to decided went to office in 2016, to move away from long standing partner, the u. s. and close, closer pivot or closer relat

>> the defense's biggest point was very simple. there was no physical evidence, none, linking nick hillary to the crime. >> there was no hair. there were no fibers. there was no fingerprints linking nick to this crime. >> and there was testimony from investigators about those unknown fingerprints that were found around that pushed-out window screen. >> you have to ask yourself whose print was on that window. whose print was on the window that that perpetrator climbed out of to escape the building? again, it wasn't nick hillary's. >> in an unusual move, the defense called to the stand mark murray, the lead cop on the case, getting him to admit his nearly five-year investigation had failed to turn up any physical evidence against nick in any place. >> brought him forward and said, you searched his house twice. what did you find? nothing. you searched his car. what did you find? nothing. you searched his office two times. what did you find? nothing. >> which made it clear, the defense argued, that police had tunnel vision, starting wi
