let me start out by saying, i don't disagree with ruth's premise here. i mean, it does seem like surrogates are fair game when you send them out on the campaign trail, including their personal conduct, their moral failings, and whatever business or political activity they have. the issue here, though, is that donald trump is the candidate and hillary clinton is the candidate. and trump is the primary purveyor of the sexism and hillary clinton, you know, i don't know what she could have done differently to prevent bill's moral failings, and i'm not sure we should expect her to publicly condemn him, as much as, you know, more than she has already. so that being said, there is also a vulnerability that drutr brings on to himself when he goes after this. there's been research done by some prominent republican operatives, looking into this. they looked at how leaning republican women, independent women, and leaning democratic women voters react to attacks on bill clinton's conduct with respect to the monica lewinsky affair. and they all seem to feel very sympa

urd dod because what it does the actual funding is a hopeful sign to return to more problem-solving ruth ia tenure in this position of dod. and want to start at where their resources have been since then 11 the total resources with the defense resources that doubled with this deal we are getting back to where we were in nominal dollars. and throughout my talk so if you see references it is not the cap of the budget deal and then to put our share of the budget deal. ended is an approximation is so that is a good estimate. and with high intensity operations but up from where we have been. to talk with the budget deal going for word what we have been net to at dod it is the thing is we have been trying to achieve. with that challenge that we face today with that dimension of national-security to cover major portions of the globe geographically talking about europe and away we were not before as well as of broad range of conflict from cyberto high end to the counter insurgency your counterterrorism. but to be on the demand side. but the caps that were never meant to be in the first place so we

i love ruth bader ginsburg also but the arabia they could not confirm someone just like me so i will stay here until i die? does that make sense? >> be fair. [laughter] john paul stevens was a decade older than her when he retired. i thank you told me he still plays tennis. >> she is doing pushups. the delay she is as sound as she ever was is a high-stakes decision that is too late to reverse. retiring during the democratic administration is a political decision but she is stubborn and believes in doing what is right and is committed to herself she does have a life outside of her job but would she do? she goes out to dinner every night and travels all over the world passionately committed to the work of the court is still brings that saved fierceness she ever did. is interesting that the internet sensation that she tapped into the u.k. and spell truth without ruth and ruth bader ginsburg and rap videos and halloween costumes tattoos, which she does not like. that all happened as everybody told her it was time to go. the young women saw an old woman pushed off the stage at we do need

look, i love love ruth bader ginsburg to but the idea that a well they cannot confirm someone just like me so i'm going to stay here until i die. does that make any sense? >> let's be fair though, john paul stevens was a decade older and he was fired. he did not have cancer but i think he is still playing tennis. >> he still is at 95. >> she still doing 20 push-ups at age 82. mentally she is sound as she ever has been. it is a decision decision that is too late to reverse. i think we should see this in the contacts, retiring retiring during a democratic administration is a political does discussion. she is stubborn and believes what is doing right. she is committed to her job. i think she's unable to imagine a life outside of her job. what was to do? she she do? she already goes to the theater almost every night. she already travels all over the world. she is passionately committed to the work of the court. i think she's still bringing with it the same passion she has already done. >> one more thing, i think it's interesting that the internet sensation and the passion on the internet th

>> ruth, i got a lot of respect for you now. >> or could it still make him rich?there's still gold here. >> this is by far the hottest result that i've ever worked with. >> holy christmas.

>> i think ruth is right on target here. this is -- bill clinton did things, abuse of power while in office, that would have gotten a corporate head fired by his board, okay, but the american people didn't fire him. the question here is i think he has an upside and downside and the question is how much the american people have discounted from his past. this is not a revelation of anything new. he's going to be saying a lot of things that republicans like because they say it in their own heads, okay, and he says it in public. which i think gets him a lot of traction in the republican party. the attacks themselves i think may well be discounted by the american people already. >> you talk about his upside and downside. that was on display in 2008. i want to play a clip from 2008 which offended a lot of voters and get your reaction on the other side. >> it is wrong that senator obama got to go through 15 debates, trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war every year. give me a break. this whole thing is

look, i love ruth bader ginsburg to but the idea that they cannot confirm someone just like me so i'm going to stay here until i die? does that make any sense. >> let's be fair though. john paul stevens was about a decade older when he got fired. granted he had cancer but i think he's still playing tennis. >> he still is that 95. >> she is doing 20 push-ups at age 82. i think mentally she is astounded she ever was. i grew through, it was very high-stakes decision. one high-stakes decision. one that is too late to reverse. i think we should see this and they contacts, retiring during a democratic administration is a politically savvy move. but she is stubborn and believes in doing what is right. she is committed to her job. i think she's unable to imagine a life outside of her job, what would she do question archie already goes to the theater almost every night. she already travels all over the world. she is passionately committed to the work of the court and i think she is still bringing with it the same fierceness that shares always did. i think it's interesting that the internet sen

ruth -- route into britain. >> that's the conventional story. i think it's a little more complicated than that. for one thing the germans, german air force was not built to be a strategic weapon. it was built to be to support infantry, when they were given strategic pass, they weren't equipped for that. they were not well equipped. they also -- even though they had one plane, the me109, which was probably superior than the spit fire, they-does it had such short fuel, it had very -- it had short flight, it could spend 10-15 minutes over britain because it's fuel capacity was very low. so there were other factors in there, and also the germans really never appreciated how far advanced that chain host home system was and how well they used it and even more than that, doubting who was the air chief who oversaw the battle of brit tian, he created the first command center in the world. the germans had nothing like that. they knew how to use -- they knew how to process the information, bring it together and act on it instantly. i mean, that was an extraordinary defeat. >> hi, john, i had a question fo
