in a way the navy started a step ahead of the army at the outset of the civil war. the piece after the war, i don't know the answer to as to why the navy becomes a lily white institution after roosevelt. >> there was a quota before the war in relation to the navy, and it was not 11%, it was 4%. there were no commissioned officers in theo navy of color. there were people like robert smalls and others who were eventually taken in either navy reserve and others. in terms of the army itself, the accepted figures of commissioned officers in relation to that. a lot of them stayed in the army rather than stayed in the navy. plus you always had the merchant marine, which even more than the navy, was integrated and there were officers of color s in ter of that.ar plus you always have the fourth factor s which stanton gave in . people of color were state militias which that had to be overturned in addition to having recruitment in the united states. i think someone asked about numbers and the draft.k the draft was done for two reasons. it was done to encourage enlistme enlistm

we have the army, the navy. we're doing a tremendous amount of work in space. maybe we need a new force. we'll call it the space force. [ light laughter ] think of that. space force.

[ light laughter ] trump wants to create a space force. he said that it would join the other branches of the military, like the air force, army, navy, and his personal favorite, the paw patrol. [ laughter and applause ] later reporters asked trump who should lead this space force. and he said, "that's easy, buzz lightyear." [ laughter ] in the same speech, trump talked about going to mars. listen to what he said about it. >> very soon, we're going to mars. you wouldn't have been going to mars if my opponent won, that i can tell you.

purchase in the united states is a whole different topic of conversation in my opinion than having a army navy air force and marine corps there and coast guard that can defend this country so they're in my opinion there are two separate debates i can see how they they might come combine in a conversation on the a r fifteen in age limit and all of that. i was a superintendent of the fifteenth largest school system in the country i know bob runcie down in broward county and very well actually and we've been communicating i've been trying to support of the best. i can there for school security and safety you need the physical building needs to be impenetrable and that's one thing that the school systems have not been investing in that that individual should not have been able to walk into the school system as superintendent and white county i had to press a buzzer to get into my schools and then they would unlock the door even though they knew it was me they could see it was me but an analog part of it was i was sort of challenge them to see if they were going to you know. not not follow the rule

could work on and is that something i can shoot from an army vehicle and we have discussions about that. how does that impact the air force and navy. how can i strike enemy airfiel airfields. can you talk about how you see the problem the army is trying to solve with the new command. it was maybe a product that are appearing. never appearing. and this is well-documented. most importantly it is denied the tools and equipment that he or she needs to be effective on the battlefield so how do you fix that? >> i've read several that there are some core ones that begin with the requirements process to the lack of accountability. for some unaccountable to mean ththe chief of staff deliveringn those projects on time on schedule into key performance parameters building that accountability into it by establishingin the command in te field of hurt to the core principles prompts us the ability to deliver with a soldier needs when he or she needs it. >> you mentioned here the urgency and cultural change and these are things that have appeared in the posture statements today. for those that have been around the pentagon the goal of efficiency i

"your honor, my client has no way to defend himself other than the army, navy, air force, and the top-secret pentagon nano-hornets. meanwhile, the defendant is viciously armed with a photo of an old man's schwantz. i rest my case." ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) now, the white house has shown surprisingly disciplined silence about the trump-paid-off-a-porn-star thing, and they might be able to get the story to go away, as long as they never admit that the president is involved in any legal proceeding or any arbitration in any way with daniels. sarah? >> did the president approve of the payment that was made in october of 2016? by his longtime lawyer and adviser, michael cohen? >> this case is already been won in arbitration. i can share that the arbitration was won in the president's favor. >> stephen: oops-a-truthie! and trump was watching. now he's upset with sanders over her stormy daniels response. he's blaming sarah huckabee-sanders for the fallout from his affair with a porn star. happy international women's day!

. >> next a discussion with the secretary for the army, navy and air force that talk about defense strategy in the military future related to

residents there's no need to worry even though they are seeing military troops in the streets. 200 army, navyir force units deployed to help police on the assassination of a former spy. he and his daughter were poisoned by a dangerous nerve agent and now they are fighting for their lives in hospital. phil beck is in salisbury. phil, what are investigators looking for at the moment? >> reporter: the key question, where and how was the nerve agent deployed? you can see behind me, that's where the bench is when they were first found, suffering the powerful effects of the nerve agent where they rushed to help him. police are trying to work back from that moment to determine where and how they were exposed to this chemical weapon. the police are not giving a running commentary from moment-to-moment, day-to-day. in recent days, a lot of the forensic work has been taking place at his house. in addition to that, and interestingly, we saw a lot of work done, yesterday, at the local cemetery, specifically at the grave sights of sergey's wife and son. they are not disturbing the graves. they are not exh

navy officers of color. and there were some eventually taken into the knavenavy reserv others. in terms of the army itself, it figures 106,000 plus and the merchant marine, which is more than the navy, who was integrated and there were officers of color in terms of relation to that. so there are three separate groups, plus you had a fourth factor, which stanton dealt with that was the malitia act that literally banned before the war people of color being in state militias, which had to be overturned in relation to having african-american improvement, don't like the states. and in terms of somebody asking about numbers in the draft, the draft was done for two reasons. it was done to encourage enlistment, but black troops started to count toward state quotas. so that was another inducement for people of color, particularly from the north, to enlist after 1863. so a lot of different factors going on in relation to that. and i thought maybe i could clarify some of that. >> yeah, i think that's the reason that the ohio governor, the yaunion republican, union supporter, changed his mind about black enlis
