i'm a third-generation military. my mom was a resident of military housing as were her six brothers and sisters. i was a resident as was my brother and i have full active duty members that are cousins sand we represent the army, nav, air force. i also was an educator and a community that wass underserved and the population lived in housing conditions that look a lot like this and as an educator and a a person that lived in housing like this i can say i'm worried for the children that are exposed to lead and mold and what i'm hearing is people are not using the word mold because it would create problems. your organizations are creating kind of the opportunity. would you be able to submit your policies on the remediation of amelioration so we understand what they are and what you do in terms of y the timeline and what you do to make sure people, you talked a lot about displacement. what happens when they are displaced and also for the record again with compensation to families have when their goods are destroyed having

instead, military families got squeezed. it was military spouses who stepped up. and that's a shame on you. it's a shame on the pentagon. and we've got to fix it. mr. picerne did i get that right? picerne? close enough? in february of 2019, earlier this year at a hearing you stated we hired a world-renowned specialist at no cost to the government to renew our mold and mildew procedures so that here, too we are living up to the gold standard and yet now you're saying it's going to take time to get back to the gold standard that residents received in the early years of our mhpi paprtnerships. why have you not been able to return to the gold standard that you promised to congress and to our service members? why has your position changed? >> our position has not changed. we endeavor to return to the gold standard. as i mentioned in my testimony, the gold standard really will be when a deployed soldier is able to call back, which is one of the tenants we founded our business on, will call back from forward deployment and talk to his or her family about what's happening

our military, quite frankly, was depleted.idate for president, i promised to reverse these crippling cuts, and to ensure our military remains unrivaled anywhere in the world. and right now, there is no one, there is no country, that comes even close. [applause] pres. trump: the law i am signing today provides $738 billion -- that is with a b -- $738 billion in defense spending for the 2020. that is on all-time record in the history of our country. that is the highest amount we have ever spent on our military, and that is after $700 billion in my first year and $716 billion last year. and it is all made right here in the usa very important. [applause] pres. trump: and i have to say that we make the finest equipment, the finest planes, the finest missiles, the finest ships. we make the finest equipment anywhere in the world. this brings our total investment in national defense since my inauguration to almost $2.5 trillion. and what is the good of a budget if you don't have the best military in the world? and we focus on the budg

i mean, we are going to be showing our military. and even though the white house did not roll tanks down pennsylvania avenue for president trump's inauguration, that kind of bizarre quote stuck with one reporter at the huffington post. she wanted to know if trump's inaugural committee had actually tried to use the president's inauguration as a chance to show-off the country's tanks and missile launchers, and what she found out was that, yes, that's exactly what they had done. according to e-mails she obtained the trump folks had been, quote, seriously considering adding military vehicles to the inaugural parade. quote, the conversation started as can you send us some pictures of military vehicles we could add to the parade. a defense department official later told his or her colleague, quote, i explained such support would be out of guidelines. i am extremely reluctant to produce an improvised list of military vehicles, also concern that we as a command need an opportunity to staff this request and to make deliberate decisions about

coming up we talk military spending the 2020 n.b.a. and yes space force base force but friends advocate and political consultant rory wiley topic and then bernie sanders he's adding an otherworldly element to the action to be watchable. same wrong but all wrong just don't call. me that he's yet to shape out his day become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. same hammer i can use to smash someone's head is the same hammer i can use to build them a home but that's a human choosing what to do with that that's me expressing my values for the tool and that's what we need to do with artificial intelligence as well. as it is is a stick for the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're the bad ones they're the litter bugs are trying this way industry shouldn't be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to

and with the military housing. we should be doing what we can in a responsible manner to allow refinancing with the expectation of the money freed up could be plowed back into houses. and we have been able to do so i hope you might explore as a committee thank you mister chair. >> thank you about housing for families so there are changes if we could make those that would have a big impact? is there legislation we could pass to force changes impact housing for families as well as partners. the bill of rights could be done right now they don't need to be legislatively mandated we have been looking at almost since its inception we have found problems throughout the pressure that you can exert that would be most impactful. >> is there legislation that you need right now that would change the housing quex. >> i don't want to say categorically that some of the things most helpful and not be legislatively mandated. >> that we could have a session asking them to change? right. >> i believe that's required because of the ex

it doesn't have to be military married to military. they can be two people that both have jobs, and how do you orchestrate all that? and so i would say it's at half. i think we do a good job of assessing. the hard part is keeping the women in. i haven't touched base on this. i know people are looking -- working hard on that. one of the things i would always get young ladies, -- talking to me, how do you do it? you have to have the hard conversation about whose career comes first. whenever you don't have pressure on you. because the second you have pressure, it becomes an emotional decision and not a rational decision. and have that constantly. have it every now and then. and then decide how long can you be a part? how far are you willing to live apart? what is it the long terms goals are? but do it rationally when there's no pressure. so now, david and i didn't do that. that was a lesson learned for me. all, thatk, first of has to be a family decision. it has to be something that is talked about. because sometimes maybe it's the woman'

on top of the considerable demands of military service, no military family should ever have to contend with chronic maintenance issues or concerns such as mold and pests in their homes. trust and confidence are the bedrock of effective command in the sailors and marines in our care must be confident the leadership will advocate tirelessly on their behalf. this is commanders business. the three of us are actively engaged on this issue and have been since the beginning. we're committed to empowering leaders throughout the chain of command to assess, monitor and remediate issues of concern. since the department of the navy last addressed this committee, we have diligently pursued three distinct lines of effort. one active and engaged leadership, two reinforcing the department of the navy's oversight of our partners, and three, improving partnerships of privatized housing owners to most importantly restore trust with those families that reside in those housing units. our written testimony provides more details on these efforts. so we'll close with this. while we have made steady progress,

history for many years when airplanes 1st started to be used to the military the u.s. army had division of. flight and then after world war 2 when it became clear that this was something that was going to take off no pun intended they made the air force as its own branch of the military but it was only after they had a demonstrated need and they had also built up the necessary infrastructure as part of an existing branch of the government so i think in the same way we could it be using the air force for example to look into this to do research to see if it's necessary be to use their existing infrastructure and see to lay the groundwork if it gets to that point and again where we are right now i personally don't see the need and i'm not sure that even going forward that we're going to be having lots of combat and space is. more like a really fancy kind of you know i want to put this in here not just for trump's campaign but for all look see i voted for space forces and that kind of thing i want to ask you if this is something that. always kind of i think people have to

instead, military families got squeezed. this military spouses stepped up. and that's a shame on you. it's a shame on the pentagon. and we've got to fix it. mr.. surnamed commented i get that ripest surname, close enough? in february of 2019, earlier this year, at a hearing you stated you hired a specialist at no cost to the government to review our mold procedures. we want to live up to the gold standard. yet today you're saying that it's quote it's going to take some time to get back to the gold standard quote of communication and service that they enjoyed at the early stages of our partnership. but why haven't you, this is a question. so why haven't you been able to return to this gold standard that you promise to congress and service members. >> our position is not change, we endeavor to return to the gold standard. as i mentioned in my testimony, the gold standard will really be when a deployed soldier is able to call back, which what weights put our business on. we want them to call back to talk to their families and talk about what's happening in thei

event like this, that happens on a military base, would be handled by the military.ion service, and they are normally handling these things on their own. they will call in the fbi i'm told, that often happens because the fbi can lend an immediate capability. a lot of shots apparently fired here, and it will take a lot of work to reconstruct what happened and the fbi has people that are trained to do that. and if there are leads elsewhere the fbi can help as well. my assumption and the way things work is the military will maintain control of the investigation. the fbi and the atf, if there is weapons tracing to be done will help. we're told a few officers will be sending people, but that is the key here because they're not on scene and they have no information on their own and we're depending on the military to find out what happened here. >> in two minutes we're going to get a update from the local hospital where we know five people were transferred. 11 people injured, the shooter officially pronounced dead along with one other person, we're going to get that stateme

for a not see military reason. this exhibition, just like double victory, is not about the service as a sara lee of african-americans on the battlefield. it is why they served. the reason they served is because they were citizens. they wanted to make sure they reaped all of the benefits. dr. carr: in this book when you start reading this book, what is in here that is not in the exhibit and vice versa? : what is not in the book are the live artifacts you can see up close. the book allows us to give more put meat on the bones of why there was a world war i. why the entire world went to war in a matter of six weeks. the differences between the 92nd and 93rd division and why the 93rd division and the 369 and the 370 and the 371st finger 72nd was so important. book.ve that in the we have a few additional vignettes. the big difference between the exhibition in the book is they both have a shelf life. the exhibition shelf life will end on 14 june. it, itok, if you buy will have a shelf life that will be on your library fo

military to win a fight. the funding bill takes a comprehensive approach to the security of the united states and our allies. it will unlock targeted resources for countering the creeping influence of authoritarian powers so that military engagement becomes less likely in the first place. i'm particularly proud that thanks to my own efforts, the legalization -- the legislation modernizes the reporting requirements of the hong kong policy act i sponsored way back in 1992. it expands our support for democracy in hong kong, including legal support to hong kong activists and increases countering russian influence. -- the counters russian influence fund. of course, our work goes beyond defense and foreign affairs. we're talking about full-year funding for the federal government's domestic work as well. for example, big wins for the president's agenda to bring more security to the southern border. this year's funding bills provide another $1.4 billion for the border wall system, plus more flexibility on location th

our military to military relationship in both regions remains strong and it is essential to continue efforts to maintain great power of peace in , and to continue our collective efforts. this week i met with my russian counterparts that you may recognize in switzerland and we discussed serious strategic .ssues to enhance our i conducted my first discussion as a chairman with my counterpart in china, generally and over the phone we renewed a relationship that was established why was chief of staff and he was the head of the ground forces. i look forward to meeting with my nader counterpart in our gathering over in europe or after the first of the year. and i am looking forward to signing a ceremony later today. before we look forward to 2020, i think it is important that we all take a moment and reflect on the contributions of our men and women around the world today in uniform, whether they are in the air are on the watch on the ground, it doesn't matter. they are all doing rate work. they represent the best of america, of our values, and that they and their families have our deepest

coming up we talk military spending the 2020 n.b.a. and yes space for space force but for those advocate a political consultant topic and then bernie sanders he's adding another worldly element to election to the watchers. this is a stick. in the stomach of the. the brand is sponsored the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're the bad ones they're the litterbugs they're throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has promised to reuse the plastic. stickle caps and 6. new plastic. assessment that it's fun to me to. be on the best that is the. fun now the mountains of least only grow higher. while my brother nobody really asked for it but we got it and that is space force yes on friday of last week the brand name in chief u.s. president donald trump put pen to paper and sign the massive democrat republican indorsed military spending bill that now gives the united states war department $738000000000.00 of your tax dollars and i'm ta

in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e.alone transferred $3000000000.00 to egypt while the saudis gave a $2000000000.00 central bank deposit $2000000000.00 in energy products and $1000000000.00 cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 i don't know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. saudi arabia support came with a political price. in 2017 l.c.c. agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and sun a few which sits between saudi arabia and egypt sinai peninsula to the saudis. the decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protests since 2030. but l.c.c. rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money from them with new allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the united states is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and it's not something they want to see she was able to say that there's a

operation where you can actually strike within the us military and us an important us military academyi would think that the organization involved would advertise this to the world to show its might and its reach but nobody has claimed this is france abilities so i think they're looking for any element that can prove it. because quite frankly it might be unorthodox to suggest it but this is a convenient. reason to commit motive to claim because in light of also of your previous discussion on the nature and purpose of nato this an accusation of terrorism would allow politicians and military establishment to continue to justify their presence in places like syria and iraq which is now being questioned on a number of levels internationally and domestically so. proving you're suggesting that i'm sure isis will come up sooner or later. that will make it necessary for or 'd at least give an ex additional excuse for the us to remain in the region. donald trump previously claimed that the us had terrorism badly was his quote i mean he's prone to. exaggerating situations this latest if this ind
