when you talk about the -- the pentagon memorial is going to be there as long as the pentagon will be there. but with changes is the discussions you have with visitors and you need to be -- i think what's that we're trying to do with the visitor education center, to be -- to continue to be evolved and meat the feeds of different groups. it's asking the hard questions or talking about 9/11 and what happened and what it looks like 20 years later, 30 years later, 50 years later. i have think we need to be prepared to continue to evolve and have discussions and serve the needs of the generations that are growing up after 9/11. so i think that's going to be an important part of education center and the programs that will continue to evolve. i don't know what they are going to look luke because you don't know what the needs are going to be 10, 15 years from now. you bits important to be adaptable, i guess, and be able to develop the new programs that support the needs of future visitors. the memorial will be there, but it's how we look back at it differently that it will change and evolve.

number one, the pentagon should do a real audit. number 2, we should give no more money to the pentagon. if they need funding to destroy a country or a staff and a, an african print, they'll just have to sell something on the bay, like the missing portion of those approved film. number 3, the pentagon should be abolished and replaced with the dairy queen. you might think, i'm kidding, but which do you think would do more harm in this world? a trillion dollars of killing devices, or a trillion dollars of cookies and cream sundays, with hamburger? grumbles on top. seriously, if you haven't a dairy queen's cookies and beef, blueberry swarm a frosty and you're missing out company from washington, d. c. the ability to be redacted tonight. i welcome. i'm li camp now is break. some news. it goes without saying that the current administration and the last one have done an awful job at both controlling the pandemic and making sure people don't suffer because of it. they could have saved the lives of 850000 americans. but beyond that, they co

this is a defensive measure the pentagon says. there is no intention of any kind of combat or offensive operations by u.s. or nato forces. it is, of course, nato defensive alliance. the idea is some european allies think baltics, poland, romania. these are some of the countries very nervous about russian moves and like to be shored up to get that nato commitment on that territory. what kind of capability could the u.s. bring to the table? combat brigades, essentially a ground force intelligence surveillance reconnaissance, medical, logistics. that sort of thing. helicopters, being able to move people around. possibly even doing more exercises and training with local forces on the ground. what we are waiting for is an announcement from the pentagon on what specific units might be getting these preparation orders, they are trying to notify families, troops and units and once those notifications are complete, the pentagon said it will tell the american public. kate? >> barbara, thank you so much for that. really appreciate it. >>> th

so what's the pentagon saying about this? >> reporter: what's note worthy is the number of lodges in a short period of time. they were monitoring the launches and in touch with allies such as south korea and japan to consult about an assessment of the launches as well as perhaps how to respond. it was two launches essentially overnight. the pentagon says these were ballistic missiles as well as a launch earlier this week and a launch last week. so four separate missiles launched in the span of about a week and a half to two weeks, and it comes in the face of additional u.s. sanctions against north korea and russia, as well as a defiant north korean foreign ministry is saying this is part of their advancement of their national military program which they see as a very high priority. still, the pentagon has made it clear that diplomacy remains the first option from the united states, even if north korea is not engaging on that right now. here's pentagon press secretary john kirby. >> there are lots of levers of power that the u

i came to washington 27 years ago every secretary has devoted himself to reforming the pentagon. i am all for it. it is not going to change the basic issue. we need to do a whole lot of different things but in my opinion we are going to continue accepting the risk to the homeland and unless we get realistic about the topline. beyond that, i love the emphasis on innovation and modernization. i did a chapter, we did a report a couple of years ago on the advanced weapons programs. i think it is tremendous that ws are doing that. if i had to choose i guess i would continue that, but we also need airframes and we need them now. >> secretary, you wanted to jump in? >> i want to respond to the comments about this. i spent a good deal of my career trying to make programs execute efficiently and i will give you an analogy. the thing we tend to get criticized the most for in the government is overrun development programs. the average development program overruns by 25%. in the commercial world, programs overrun all the time also it's just not visible because people are telling you about th

pentagon wasn't thinking geo strategically at all. it was thinking, as i just expressed it in terms of its cash cow, i was just talking about in the past couple of weeks, it was only august. you didn't believe biden was gonna withdraw troops. and of course, some people say that may well have been advisors to have a chaotic withdrawal to show presidents. this is what happens when you overrule those kinds of defense company pro. yes, you said no, no, you think it's true? well, the military is already started. the stabbed in the back theory. there there shibboleth now is. oh, it was not a military, it's 8, it was political uptake. they clearly failed president biden. when he did do what i said he wouldn't do. i thought the strategic necessity of staying somewhere near pakistan's nuclear weapons and with ard power and somewhere near the base road initiative and in a place that has a border which are small border but a border on a flank we never would be next to were it not for afghanistan, but that strategy, that strategic appraisal didn'

reporter: your pentagon counterpart said yesterday the u.s. is ready to send more capabilities to the eastern flank countries independently of nato if they need it, he said. these countries have been pretty open about their desire for increased u.s. presence. does this mean that basically it is a done deal? when might we expect the decision? second, if i may -- the belarusian dictator felt necessary recently to stress he will not allow any occupation of belarus presumably by the russian forces that are coming. this has planted concern that this is in fact what might happen, and there have been concerns about that. are you concerned about such a scenario with russian forces basically occupying belarus? mr. price: to start with your first question, i know my pentagon counterpart and predecessor has spoken to this in recent days. spoken to the number of service members at a heightened state of readiness and contextualize the fact of this order will ensure that they are a heightened preparedness to deploy and provide support should they be called

despite pentagon press secretary warning could happen at any time. congress is preparing the mother of sanctions if russia attacks. >> you have a choice, diplomacy. or conflict. >> there's absolutely no pressure, there'll be a strong move to invoke the sanctions. >> todd: a vote on the sanctions could come this week. is vladimir putin will respond to the proposals from the us and n.a.t.o. when he considers it necessary. americans need to pay attention to how joe biden handles the situation with russia, listen. >> this is a disastrous domestic situation. facing a grave foreign policy situation. and there's very little prudence involved. and that is a big, big problem. while we are holding over the voting rights act, nothing to do with voting rights and the rest of the marxist agenda area, none of it anything to do with the strengthening the united states military, national security and ultimately self preservation, none of it. if we had a real media in this country you'd under what is a taking place overseas. >>. anita: to the supreme court where repu

and a new tone from the pentagon. given the type of forces arrayed the ground maneuver forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together. if that was unleashed on ukraine, it would be significant, very significant and it would result in a significant amount of casualties. and you can imagine what that might look like in dense urban areas, along roads and so on and so forth. it would be horrified. it would be terrible, but the administration wants to send the message. diplomacy can still work. there's no reason that the situation has to devolve into conflict. he can choose to deescalate, he can order his troops, oil, pick and choose dialogue and diplomacy. if not the u. s. as the result will be catastrophic, not just for ukraine, but for russia as well. technical haine, al jazeera, washington and ukraine itself, the president of urging the us not to escalate tension with russia flawed him. as an in sky says, talk of an imminent russian invasion may be exaggerated. we do not see

ah, the pentagon says a full scale invasion of ukraine by russia would be her rick. but there's still time to avoid war through diplomacy. the u. s. military's top 2 officials had been addressing weeks of rising tensions and eastern europe after russia deployed more than a 100000 troops on its border with ukraine. particle hate reports. another sign of how serious the u. s. thinks the threat rush opposes to ukraine. you, as president announced he's moving us forces to the region. where have you decided how soon you would be moving you extra eastern europe will review us through europe in the nato countries in the near term. not a lot, he's likely talking about the 8500 troops that were put on stand by to deploy most headed to bolster nato's quick reaction force. but he's also said he has no intention of sending us troops to ukraine. and a new tone from the pentagon, with more than 100000 russian troops on ukraine's border. the top military leader say russia has enough force to take over ukraine. given the type of forces arrayed the ground maneuver forces, the artille

every secretary for 27 years has devoted himself to reforming the pentagon. i am all for it. it is not going to change the basic issue. we need to do a lot of different things, but in my opinion, we will continue accepting risks to the homeland of vital national interests unless we get realistic about the top line. beyond that, i love the emphasis on innovation and modernization. we did a report a couple of years ago on china's advanced weapons programs. it is tremendous. if i had to choose, i would continue that, but we need other things, and we need those now. >> general? >> i want to respond to chairman smith comments. i spent a good deal of my career trying to make programs execute efficiently. i will give you an analogy. the thing we tend to get criticized the most for in this industry and government's overruns in our development programs. our average program overruns by 25%. in the commercial world, programs are overrun all the time also. it is not visible because people aren't telling you about that, but it is visible when the government does it. i would love to have g
