austin: thanks. on the first question, in terms of whether or not we need to adjust our strategy, i will just say, you've heard me say this a number of times, our commitment to defending the r.o.k. remains ironclad. we condemn the dprk's irresponsible and reckless activities as we said before these kinds of activities are destabilizing to the region. so we call on them to cease that type of activity and to begin to engage in dialogue. on the issue of whether the ukrainians can take the remaining territory on the west side of the river in kherson, i believe they have the capability to do that most importantly, the ukrainians believe they have the capability to do that. we have seen them engage in methodical but effective effort to take back their sovereign territory. you'll see them continue to press until they secure the territory on the west side of the river. so to answer your question, i think they have the capability. >> the question was regarding the redeployment of tactical needs for the u.s..

lloyd austin the third is a graduate of west point.e picked up a couple of masters degrees along his way to becoming a four-star general, served as army vice chief of staff. one of the duties that i performed early on in the secretary of defense was to swear him in as the new commanding officer of central command, which is about as difficult as a position in our armed forces as there has been the last 20 years. because that commander and responsibility for wars in iraq and afghanistan as well as all of the middle east. he performed every job that he's ever been called upon to take with incredible decency, honesty, and professionalism. each office, each command that he had, he left those commands stronger than when he took them over. so it is a great privilege to introduce someone you all know a lot about, the 28th secretary of defense, secretary-general lloyd james austin the third. thank you.

let's start with lbj who is right here in boston -- austin. mark: i with the director of the presidential library from 2009 to 2017 and now, the presidency or the lbj foundation. i've written several books including one that we will talk about today, "indomitable will: lbj in the presidency." but one of the reasons i wanted to be the director of the library now 13 years ago was the fact that lbj is one of our most consequential presidents and so many respects. i think he is known for -- predominantly, but there is so much more to his legacy. and while vietnam is a vitally important part of that legacy, the laws of the great society are just as important if not more so including very importantly the strides that he made on civil rights throughout the course of his presidency which fundamentally changed our nation and allowed us our most important ideal, that all men are created people, that egalitarianism that defines we are as americans. it is lbj who brings that to fruition and i didn't think that he was recognized for those accomplishments,

how much time did robert spend down here in austin? guest: a great deal of time in the reading room. that's something the american people should realize, what a valuable resource presidential libraries are so historians like me and to others who simply want to know more about their history. if you go into the great hall of the l.b.j. library, you ascend a great giant marble stair kase, and it takes you into the great hall, where the presidential seal is etched in transfer teen marble, and you can look up at four, a series of windows across four floors, and you can see through the windows the archives. many of the boxes containing the archives of the johnson presidency. they're a beautiful, brilliant red, and they have gold presidential seals on them. and it's meant to nod toward the transparency with which we treat our presidential records. that's why what we're talking about with the issue with donald trump is so vitally important. those presidential records don't belong to a president. er? used by the president, but under the provisi

secretary of defense lloyd austin.d today that there is no reason to doubt that this preliminary polish assessment that this was a ukrainian air defense missile that fell into poland. the polish president said that this unfortunately looked like an accident. u.s. experts are on the ground working with their polish counterparts to determine exactly what happened. secretary austin today held a press conference alongside the top u.s. general mark million. the first question they got was what to make of president zelenskyy of ukraine's comments that this was in fact not a ukrainian missile. now, secretary austin try not to disagree with president zelenskyy. saying there is an investigation going on. he wants to see the end of it. and allow it to proceed before he comes to a conclusion. take a listen to a bit more of what he had to say. >> we want to get ahead of, you know, what the investigation. but, you know, our information supports what president duda said earlier in his preliminary assessment. that this was most likel

this follows lloyd austin's commitment to defending the nato partner. they're clearly walk ago fine line, because this may have been an air defense missile as opposed to a russian strike. but where does this end up in end in terms of u.s. support for poland. >> defense secretary austin, as you point out, was very careful in his words. he barely talked about the missile in poland, basically condemning it a couple hours before he headed into the ukraine contact group, where a group of 50 countries looks to see what can be provided by ukraine, and crucially air defense systems. he condemned it and quickly moved on, not going as far as other u.s. officials and certainly not as far as poland. he did make clear where the u.s. stands. the u.s. will work with poland, investigate with poland and defend as the president has said, every inch of nato territory, making it clear that work and cooperation will continue with poland and others looking into this, and within the framework this happened, ukraine trying to defend itself against a barrage of 100 or so missil

lloyd austin is urging china to destabilize actions towards taiwan.t and the chairman of the study of war general jack keane, i did not call the minister lloyd austin's counterpart because i don't know that you can call him his counterpart, is he a counterpart or are the most important people in beijing. >> the most important people are the seven on the special select committee, they are the people that run china, president xi jinping is the director of that committee, what is good number one austin but on the table china's intimidation of taiwan and the south china sea at large and made the point, it is china that is destabilizing the situation out there and that's what needs to be sent to these folks. we also have to have a healthy dose of skepticism here, we welcome the talk certainly, they were broken off because of a pelosi visit. it's going to be a counterpart talk after the biden president xi jinping summit, good thing. but let's be realistic also, we did so much talking with putin prior to ukraine, counterpart talks, president putin and also p

i think secretary austin is making a last ditch effort to might back against ukraine fatigue. the truth is, europeans are tired of pouring money into this, tired of sending equipment to a black hole. he will have a tough time making

austin and general milley saying that there would be no let-up. the u.s. and all of its allies had resolve and determination to provide aid to ukraine as long as it takes. and he had some really colorful remarks by general milley where he was saying, russia's military is hurting badly and they've failed at every moment, every objective. they're now really on the back foot. >> there were, ambassador, many very intense and tense moments yesterday. many of the world leaders were at the g20 in bali. they were immediately in conversation. we know nato immediately was activated. they have been in conversation. a lot of the talk today at this press conference was about whether or not this could lead to a political solution, whether or not this was an off-ramp. when you have these concerns that, okay, this time, it was potentially a missile defense system, but there could be another missile that goes awry. there could be more destruction. at the beginning of this war, there were concerns, as you well know, that perhaps could an errant missile hit a nuclear power p

so austin would implement and if you need, then you can still get out of the below sort option you do. you really was focused on the if the me to be like, ah, was by you lots of korea now little on the little birth subpoena foam bristol panini. i'm not pulling up a student. you're going to take the federal ministers. i'm not sure what machine. yeah. we do for just regular voice after i was done, i'm not sure how to do don't volunteer unit commander of me. i know because i've been defending his territory since spring 2014. he's personally witness. dozens of crimes carried out by the ukrainian military from the us. and i'll be in touch with you for some work in austin, and that's more there's a story on the when i 1st was going to talk to me, it's nicole and you minute. and yet the course or any other thoughts, i do apologize. she was, you know, it's not just because you will do i do do the bustle this new city wide with the new speed for those of the one to be on. it was the order at the will. so when you were even open i to point out i said i will never reach it doesn't go to somebody

is how he explains it we listen to the secretary of defense of the united states of america lloyd austindirect speech here are four reasons why putin's war of choice in ukraine concerns us all firstly it is a direct threat to security in europe secondly russian aggression is a clear challenge for our european allies, thirdly, russian brutality is a direct attack on our common values ​​and the rule of law, and finally, the russian invasion is aimed at the international order that is based on the rules that ensure safety for all of us , i did not listen to this speech today, but i read the text version, a really serious, strong speech by the secretary of defense of the united states of america in support of ukraine, for which i personally and i think you also thank him. estonia allocated another batch of aid to ukraine, this time humanitarian this was reported by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, urmas reisalu, according to published information, tallinn will transfer 27 public transport buses to kyiv, in addition, 13 will also be transported to ukraine. generators purchased with

austin said.arrival of sullivan and burst, well, this is this movement and the us security council, and here is austin and the state department, they have a very clear position, and this clear position of the usa consolidates the allies. i am sure that after such statements, even senator ryzh, who told halifax that he will fight for ukraine to receive the f-16 despite the opposition of the white house and what will happen in the near future will depend to a greater extent on us, on the ukrainians, on the armed forces, on their success, on the consolidation of ukrainian society, on the fact that we do not start bringing back the old times to ukraine already at such a time. you see what is happening, some people well, i don't care what's described, well , i personally see these people, they are people from traitors to collaborators, they are put in key positions, they are returned to kherson, they want to be returned to some uh, well, the positions of advisers, they are slowly being pulled back , ch

emhoff, secretary austin intimates from the cabinet, most of all, veterans, your families, caregiversors. good morning, everybody. thank you for joining our country's annual veterans day celebration. today is a day to honor veterans , remember all that they have done for our nation. for each of us to reflect on those heroes still missing in action. heroes whom we have met, we loved, longed for and hope to see come home, and soon. and recognize that when veteran serve, their families, their caregivers, survivors sacrifice right alongside them. veterans day is something more. a call to action for each of us to serve best, every bit as well as they have served us. on veterans day, indeed, every day, because as president biden has said and reminded us again this morning, veterans are the very backbone of this country. they put profit and self-interest aside. they put their lives on the line so that the highest ideals of this nation, our core values might continue. and the thing is, veterans do not only keep those ideals alive by serving our country in uniform and funding nation's wars. th

i think secretary austin is making a last ditch effort to might back against ukraine fatigue. the truth is, europeans are tired of pouring money into this, tired of sending equipment to a black hole. he will have a tough time making any inroads. one of the big reasons is that general milley, our chairman of the chiefs decided to leak his personal advice to the president in "the new york times." he said the ukrainians have probably accomplished all that they reasonably can and now is the time that they really need to start negotiating. he says that ukraine has no power no, electricity, no energy, no fuel. increasingly not enough food apartment not enough water. that i have taken horrendous casualties, over 100,000 dead and hundreds of thousands of wounded. they're in bad shape. the second message is start me ga -- negotiating because the russians are starting a winter offensive. on one hand, let's send money to this losing proposition. people are tired of it. on the other hand, the joint chairman chiefs says the game is almost up. let's negotiate. >> yeah, it's outrageous, doug

ukraine but the leadership of our country is not interested in the world secretary of defense lloyd austin is scheduled to meet with fifty other ministers where he will announce retired us army colonel douglas mcgregor is in touch with us at the next round of financial assistance to ukraine and will comment on this matter. you are absolutely right. i think the minister of defense. usting makes last tea attempt to stop growth, indifference towards ukraine the truth is that europeans are tired of pouring money into it. tired of sending weapons to nowhere. so here he will have to sweat one of the main reasons is that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general milli in the article. yes , the new york times released a personal piece of advice given to the president. he said that the ukrainians had exhausted. the possibilities they have now is time for them to start negotiating between the lines of statements or they can regarded as a hint on the outskirts, a difficult situation for ukrainians. there is no electricity , no energy, no fuel, often there is not enough food and water. not to

in this regard, pentagon chief austin urged ukrainians to move forward.his mean, what is this thesis that they prepared them and the ukrainians are doing in perfect order, what is meant. is it true? but it’s obvious which country he is a fan of. it’s understandable that he naturally supports the side he stands for, so this is his subjective opinion, which he doesn’t hesitate to broadcast to you, probably encourages his, so to speak, partners in ukrainian, but for the sake of objectivity, it must be said that after certain circumstances, ukraine formed a reserve, which they most likely use and use. well, most likely in the melitopol direction. that is, they are really now preparing for a forty-scale offensive. and we should also take retaliatory steps so that, well, if you don't pre-empt them for action, well, at least be ready for these actions. then you need now. mobilize as much as possible to demonstrate that the gentleman pronounce this tirade is not quite right or not at all right alexander sergeevich from the russian federation what are your plans f
