after action review that looked at the way the defense department performed in the evacuation and withdrawalrom afghanistan. at this report has been classified. we have not seen that report. nevertheless, what was striking is the fact the state department criticized president biden as well as president trump. but the white house report that we were told it fed into lacked any of that criticism of president biden and basically blamed the chaos of the withdrawal in 2021 on failures of the trump administration host: -- administration. host: why was the biden administration at fault and why was the trump administration fault guest: -- fault? guest: it was president trump who entered into the withdrawal deal with the taliban in return for very little else. it was supposed to lead to peace talks between the taliban and the then western-backed government it's happened. president trump had been trying to withdraw troops all along until the end of his administration into their work successive troop drawdowns which, in the end, left only about 2000 troops on the ground in kabul mostly. where they were

i rise today to ensure that the department of defense is focused on its core mission rather than pursuing the political agenda of climate change to the detriment to the national security of the united states. in 2021, department of defense spokesman john kirby refused to say that china is a bigger national security threat to the united states than climate change. he called them, quote, equally important, and said it doesn't do any good to make a relative, quote-unquote, assessment of national security issues. secretary of defense lloyd austin has said, climate change is an exist ential threat to our national security. john kerry will travel to china to discuss climate change, not china's aggression toward taiwan, not its expansion in the pacific, not the suppression of its people, not that they build two new coal-fired power plants each week while we undermine our national security to pursue the climate fetish agenda of the other side of the aisle. president biden's executive orders have served as the skat list for massive reforms at the department of defense that compromise national secu

the department of defense can provide assistance to entertainment projects. pursuant to these ndaa provisions, the department is now prohibited from assisting with entertainment projects that censor the content of the project in a material manner to advance the national interest of the people's republic of china. it is my hope that this new policy will ensure that taxpayer dollars are never involved in anti-american messaging efforts as well as send a clear signal to the ccp that we will no longer turn a blind eye to its propaganda efforts. this is just one example of the many provisions in this year's ndaa that stand up to china and advance our national security. i encourage my senate colleagues to vote yes on the ndaa so that we can deliver a strong package that keeps china in line. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. the ndaa. thanks to the work of many, yesterday we adopted to elect important amendments to the ndaa, adding to the senates work on out competing the chinese government. boat and limits passed overwhelmingly with 91 votes each. if no

defense. this is the funding for the department of defense. this is the funding for the good men and women who serve in our military. the department of defense website makes its mission clear. it says that its mission is to deter war and protect our nation's national security. with the department of defense mission being very clear and stating what the mission is, no money funding and fueling the ukraine war belongs in our defense authorization act because this is for our nation, not for another nation, not for ukraine. ukraine is not the 51st state. . sending money to fund a war in a foreign country does not deter war. it continues it. it causes it. it enables it. and it allows it. sending money to fund a war in a foreign country against a nuclear armed nation does not protect our national security. it endangers our national security. it endangers every single american, it endangers the entire world. we do not want world war iii. i rise today to encourage all of my colleagues to consider that they can pass another funding bill to fund money go

this is a complete interagency effort from here at the department of defense to the state departmentg to pull all levels of government to bring private king home. at the end of the date that is our main priority. of course it is concerning but it is not surprising. we do not have a military relationship with the dprk. we have the united nations command that also serves as our liaison with the dprk. we do not know how private king is doing and that is our main concern. we know his family must be under incredible amount of stress missing him, wanting him returned home. we are going to keep working to bring him home safely. unfortunately we have not heard from the north koreans on this issue. >> russia hit food export facilities for a fourth straight day. this comes after russia allowed this international deal to create a safe passage for transporting green to expire. with the department of defense support a nato or you and mission to escort these ships? or without raise the risk of a direct -- would that raise the risk of direct confrontation with russia? >> our priority right now is m

the secretary of defense has been confident, how can i say, the defense department, everywhere and calling other secretaries defense around the world. i just want you to know it's real and here we held a first as you all know a council but you and i talked about this before hand about the commitments, security commitments we were going to make and it becomes official, until it becomes official. i think that's important, and i want to tell you when i got here and i started to sell that idea to other heads of state there was no reluctance. everybody just said okay, sign on. so it's real. you've done an enormous job and have a lot more to do. i just think we are going to make sure to get what you need. i look forward to the day that we are having the meeting celebrating your official membership in nato. thank you for what you're doing. the bad news for you is we are not going anywhere. you're stuck with us. thank you. >> thank you very much, mr. president.

in the department of defense.he will assure that women will be treated differently, unequally, and unfairly. because, unlike anyone else who needs a medical procedure, they will have to pay for their own travel out of, let's just say, alabama or other states that have banned abortion, to be able to access an abortion. unlike everybody else, unlike everybody else, they will have to take unpaid leave while they're trying to undergo that medical procedure. or a medical procedure that could lead to an abortion. i don't think most people in this country that are pro-life would think that women should be treated differently in that respect. discriminated against. i think they would take the view that if you are serving in the united states armed forces, and you are serving in a state that has banned abortion, and you are pregnant, and you have decided, you have made a judgment on your own or with your family or with your doctor, that the right answer for you and for your family is to go to another state and have an abor

the secretary of defense has been a constant, how can i say it, refrain, the defense department and calling other secretaries of defense around the world to say, let's get some help. so i just want you to know, it's real. and, you know, here we held the first, as you all know, nato ukraine council. we've talked about this beforehand, about the commitments, the security commitments we were going to make while it becomes official. until it becomes official. and i think that's important. and i want to tell you, when i got here, mr. president, and i started to sell that idea to other heads of state, there was no reluctance. there was no -- oh, i don't want to. everybody just said, ok. sign on. so it's real. you've done an enormous job, you have a lot more to do, i know. and i just think that, you know, we're going to make sure you get what you need. i look forward to the day when we're having the meeting, celebrating your official, official membership in nato. so thank you, what you're doing. and the bad news for you is, we're not going anywhere. [laughter] you're stuck with us. thank you. pres

working to empower parents, our education system is using critical race theory outside of the department of defense, but in this case inside the department of defense, to turn schools into a propaganda machine dedicated to raising students up, that judge one another by race and hate our country's founding principles. teaching kids to hate the country they live in. to view their fellow citizens as enemies because of the color of their skin is wrong. it's anti-american. and it is societal suicide. critical race theory is an anti-american ideology that seeks to pick winners and losers based on skin color. we are seeing a large-scale effort to impose this tyranny over the minds of man and our children through taxpayer-funded indoctrination of this ideology. i believe we must preserve the foundational american truth that people are valuable regardless of their skin color and prevent critical race theory from being used to diivey us up by race further. i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from virginia rise? >> mr. speaker, i rise to claim the time and yield

now you have to decide what exactly the defense department will be interested in.ed platforms. there should be many and massively. at the time, before the war, how did we project such a view on the robotized competition ? the mosquito doctrine, that is, it is a small robot, there are many of them and there should be thousands of them, and they should also be like itrons in the sky from a drone to the earth, they should also have functions , that is, reconnaissance and sabotage eh and eh now, as if this is the present time we in the main, of course, we cooperate with by bacterial organizations that er can finance certain of our developments er it is clear that work with natural defense requires er efforts er so to speak handing over some bureaucratic m-m prefixes but this is what the volunteers are doing now - it is of course great work on the part of volunteers in order to help us play eh our developments eh directly starting from land drones, sea drones, there are underwater ones, but i am still trying to enter the zone of state participation and the role of the m

so, what i finally did is i took the recommendation of the defense department to, not permanently, but allow for this transition period where we have more 155 weapons with these shells for ukrainians, to provide them with something that has a very low great, very low, about 1.50, which is the least likely . it is not been used in areas, they are trying to get through the trenches and stop the tanks from rolling . so, it was not an easy decision, and it's not, we are not signatories of that agreement, but it took me a wild to be convinced to do it. the main thing is they either have the weapons to stop the russians now from stopping the ukrainian offensive through these areas. or they don't, and i think they needed it . >> you can see all of the interview with president biden this sunday on gps at 10:00 am eastern on cnn. let's bring in kylie atwood at the state department. kylie, why is the u.s. is sending these cluster bombs, which as we have noted, arbon band. why are they sending them to ukraine? >> well, listen. we heard from the national security advisor jake sullivan earlier who

bilateral ties, including close cooperation through the defense departments, the post-war period, our interaction has been strengthened by the income of warships official visits of high-ranking representatives of the defense departments. exchanges of delegations at the working level training of personnel all this contributed to maintaining peace and stability on the korean peninsula, then sergei shoigu met with the leader of north korea kim jong-un and handed him a gift from vladimir putin, the head of the dprk personally showed the russian minister of defense an exhibition of weapons of the korean army, where strike drones and intercontinental ballistic missiles were displayed, the solemn and cordial welcome given to russian guests alarmed western media headlines drew attention to the fact that the solidarity demonstration was taking place against the backdrop of growing tensions in the while russia and north korea are united by an open desire to oppose us policy. another unpleasant news for washington is the presence of at the celebrations, a representative of the party delegation f

but the department of defense invented it. this has been the history of other institutions. i want to make sure we stay at the most innovative department of defense. and to that point secretary austin i commend you for starting the strategic capabilities fund. which is going to be investing in cutting and technology that could be disruptive. i guess i am puzzled and maybe you can help in general millie give us some guidance on how we solve this issue of getting funding to the strategic capabilities fund. and how we get more of the funding went into the purchase of advanced technology. not just the funding of the companies but the acquisition. we've got almost a trillion dollars at a defense we are chock a few billion dollars in seems hard to get that funding. the challenge with china and others as you know is asymmetrical. they're not going to compete with us conventionally. it seems very prudent we take asymmetrical bets. i have one question and it is how do we get more of the acquisition into emerging technologies and asymmetrical approaches and what can congress do to help

if we want to fix it, the department of defense has to play as well ch. >> i understand that.his case. >> every senator, every senator has. >> if you were in the executive branch, why would the pentagon feel the necessity to start negotiating your independent agency policy with the senator just to breakthrough? >> yeah. in this particular case it's a sensitive policy. >> no question. not denying that. >> so each senator has to decide for themselves where they play that card. but, every single senator has the ability to decline to participate in a unanimous consent approach to a whole bunch of nominations at one time. senator tubberville has that opportunity. every other member has the same opportunity. but remember, this is a two-way street. the department of defense can at any point step back and stay, you disagrees with one of the policies we now imposed. let's work our way through this. i saw the interview in part last night. i understand that senator tubberville made it very clear that he's prepared to negotiate but he had no contact with the department. i've talked to a c

defense authorization act. otherwise known as the ndaa. the ndaa primarily authorizes the spending levels for our military and the department of defense, but it also serves as the legislative vehicle for how our military ought to operate. that's why i was proud to submit numerous amendments to this year's ndaa to ensure our military is focused on fighting our enemies, and deterring our adversaries. and that congress is well informed of the department of defense's goals and initiatives to ensure -- initiatives to to-ensure and push back on wokeness of the military by president biden. one of my amendments would require all members of congress receive a briefing on the joint multiyear plan to fulfill defensive requirements for taiwan. the underlying bill only makes this briefing available to appropriate congressional committees. but my amendment would make this briefing available to all members because i think it's important that all of the people's representatives are included in this important process. i also filed two additional amendments, one to require a briefing and the other to require a report on the people's republic of china's acti

in this regard, it is no coincidence that research organizations of the us department of defense are interested in studying the main species of mosquitoes and ticks that carry and economically significant infections of the western nina dengue fever. we have already noted that such studies are carried out in specialized organizations, both in the united states and in white laboratories located abroad, are studying more than 100 species of mosquitoes and ticks. for the mass production of vectors , dual-use production capacity can be used. in particular, the biotech company aksitech funded by the bill and myland gates american military specialists successfully master the methods of adaptation and cultivation of vectors collected in their natural habitats developed by methods allows laboratory conditions to obtain mosquitoes and ticks infected with arbaviruses. i would like to draw your attention to the fact that these research activities are accompanied by a worsening of the epidemic situation and the expansion of the carrier material. in this case, we are talking about the formation of

it would require the department of defense to establish a new risk assessment for toxic exposure for service members who are assigned to work near toxic burn pits. this amendment would also require the department of defense to establish an outreach program to inform service members about the harms associated with working near toxic exposures. these three amendments all aim to save lives and help prevent exposure to toxic burn pits. they do this by requesting the collection of data in the hopes of catching associated illnesses and conditions faster, educating our service members on the harms associated with them, and forging a path forward to end their use. i fought for years to bring attention to this issue and devastating toll on our nation's service members and their families. time and time again, i have come before this body to tell the stories of those whose lives were devastated and forever changed by burn pits. i've told the story of jennifer, an air force veteran from cathedral city in my district. she was an otherwise healthy mother of two who lost her battle with pancreatic c

the defense department doesn't like these weapons, but they all recognize that the alternative that is no artillery round for the ukrainians and so on. acceptable is unacceptable, morally, militarily, politically, it makes no, it makes no sense to have the premiums run out of weapons and not be able to defend themselves against the russians that are in bathing their country. so the nature of the nato members, they don't like it. we don't like it however they recognize and they, they buy their statements. they recognize that as an individual decision by the american sheriffs. exactly right. the president may use the waiver that's in the law. he doesn't like it, he's present bite and said he doesn't like this of this decision. but again, if the, if the decision, if the alternative is to let the russians overrun the ukraine, is he's not gonna let that happen. okay, and we've got a, we've got about a minute left. is there anything you want to say about that the use of depleted uranium? i know we're talking about cluster munitions, but the, the, the use of depleted uranium in that region of

until congress passes a law to overturn 40 years of legal precedents the department of defense has the responsibility to manage the health, welfare and readiness of the force. within the legal authorities available to it. the department's legal experts also outlined in detail the long existing statutory authorities that allow the department to provide travel and leave benefits. and that's all they are, travel and leave policies. policies i would note that have been on the books in various fashions for decades. senator ernst the -- recognize publicly after the briefing the policy is legal. i will note my respect for senator ernst. and like most of her college she states at the end of the briefing and listen to everything the department had to stay informed her opinion accordingly. senator ernst and i have very different views on this issue but we share a common respect for military women and men and an understanding of how congress should treat them. our colleague from alabama however has taken a disrespectful approach but the nominations he is blocking have no objections raised against

here >> yet charles, the national defense authorization act is the department of defense policy bill,policy. bill it has passed congress every year. and historically, republicans and democrats alike in congress, and in the white house, have agreed on keeping america, strong keeping our troops funded, and ensuring that we have the greatest fighters in the country, armed and ready to protect u.s. interests. what you are seeing in today's republican party though, no longer reflects that. the abandonment of president biden's support of ukraine, which was one of the hotly debated issues in the house -- that we are just going to see lands and territories to vladimir putin, and ignore the territorial challenge we face from an adversary. and then, adding these policy riders. you know, republicans in the house of past policy writers that largely will prevent joe biden from signing this into action. and in the senate, you have just a senator from alabama, saying we're not going to appoint a leadership now, of our leadership forces. this is a reflection of -- having crushed the traditional natio
