of defense. in addition to this phenomenon, within the next few years, the services will begin precuring new weapons systems while modernizing and maintaining other systems. the department will spend $48 billion to procure the f-35 joint fight strike fighter, $10.6 billion to ohio class program, $13.9 billion for the long-range strike bomber and $27.7 billion for the virginia class marine program. each of these programs is critically important to our national defense, and we must ensure they are robustly funded, but if the b.c.a. caps remain in place, it is likely tough budget choices will need to be made. as a result, if we decide to stay within the stringent budget caps, we may be forced to fund these programs at the expense of other equally meritorious programs. we'll have a choice of not investing fully in these necessary strategic improvements or using legacy systems, which are so important to pay for them, tough choices. alternatively and what i think is more likely to happen, these program

for defense and defense alone. and, mr. president, many have argued that, well, that might be true but this is not the place to talk about those issues. i disagree because this is not a debate about which appropriation account we put the money in. it's a fundamental debate about how we intend to fund the workings of the got today and in the future, all parts of the government. because if we can use this technique for defense, frankly and honestly it relieves the pressure to take constraints off other agencies. and it sets the whole table, if you will, for our budget for every federal agency. so this is not a narrow issue of appropriations whether it's the committee on housing and urban development or it's the committee on interior and environment. this is a fundamental issue. the b.c.a. is a statute, not an appropriations bill per se. it came to us as an independent statute. and we, i think, have a responsibility to respond to the challenges it poses today to the defense budget, but to every other budget. and this is just n

on defense. because we are already in debt. so any time we spend more we borrow the extra money. it's a difficult time. but you are correct. that y teaches us conflicts just don't go away. they keep coming back. we don't know what it will be like and we need a strong national defense. i thank you for your real good advice. do you believe that with regard to the extremism we are seeing in the middle east that we as a nation and our allies in europe and nato and other places should seek to develop a strategy bipartisan in the united states worldwide to deal sophisticatedly with that threat over decades to come? and can we do that? >> senator, i think that we face a generation of conflict in the middle east. i think we have four at least four conflicts going on simultaneously. shia islam led by iran versus sunni islam led by saub, reformers saudi arabia, islamists versus secularists. and then the problem whether these artificially created countries, iraq, afghanistan, syria, comprised of historicica

the defense budget is over half of the discretionary budget system of unfortunately, the defense bill is about the budget and about the appropriations process. and as long as we have those budget caps locked in place, we will be at the ragged edge of what we can do to protect our national security. we shouldn't be there. we should lift the budget caps. this ndaa locks in those budget caps, uses the oco dodge which as i pointed out the senate isn't agreeing to the $38 billion isn't going to be there and even worse, what secretary carter has also said is that the oco funding perpetuates the five years of budget cuts and uncertainty of c.r.'s of government shutdown, of threatened government shutdowns, of not being able to plan. secretary carter has been very clear. he opposes this bill because the oco funding is not an adequate way to fund defense because it is one year money, it is a budget gimmick, it doesn't give them the ability to plan and do what they need to protect our country and take care of our troops. opposing this bill because of oco funding is enormously important to our tr

the defense authorization bill that we are considering changes the emphasis of the department of defense from the administration's operations which will help ensure our military personnel receive the training they need and are ready to meet any threats that arise. this bill also overhauls and does not apply to 85 percent of those who have served. the national defense authorization act replaces the system with a modern retirement system that would extend benefits to 75 percent of our service members. no time is a good time. the decision. it and thanks to the presence nuclear deal they iran will soon have access to increased funds and the ability to purchase more conventional problems. that's right, pres. obama is threatening to veto a bill and has agreed to a bill that gives a ran access to over $100 billion to fund terrorism any iranian revolutionary guard. that same deal waves the sanctions on leaders including the general who is responsible for the death of soldiers in iraq. improve military retirement benefits for soldiers at home. the president still gives has blind thomas more fundi

it's a defense policy bill.he other important thing it does is authorized pay increases -- authorize pay increases for the troops. both of these policy things are victims of this fight over what i would call a "misdirected" fight. to take the defense authorization bill, the policy bill hostage, is pretty hard-edged politics. in andf you want to call ask what this means, 202-748-8001 for republicans, 202-748-8000 for democrats, and 202-748-8002 for independence. active military can call 202-748-8003. senator mccain talked about this of what he thought this bill was not the best move. let's listen. mccain: it seems to me if the president vetoes this that he is placing a higher priority over his concern and opposition to the funding budgetary over the then he is defense of the country. -- if he cared about the defense of the nation, he would focus on the active appropriations bills. veto the appropriations bills because you don't like where the money is coming from. is that a reasonable argument? guest: no. there i

as secretary of defense, is that acceptable relations? where does this leave you if you sit down and talk to the russian military about a way ahead? is this not the bar? -- bizarre. ashton carter: you are right, this is not the kind of behavior we should expect professionally from russian military. that is one reason why i think it is a good thing to have an avenue of communication that is less unprofessional than a talk aboutere we can professional defense matters. this is something that will occur independent channels, it is important to see we can get russians in a position where they are coming to understand the contradiction in the position that they now half, and the possibility that a political transition and defeating extremism is something you have to pursue to succeed in syria, maybe they could make a constructive contribution, but they are not on the cap to do path to do that. >> what are your concerns? ashton carter: we are always concerned about the possibility , and avertent incidents lack of communication. that is why it is

the substance of the bill is precisely the issue and what it does for defense or does not do for defense. that is why using the o.c.o. funding is the exact wrong way to go. the other thing i will say is i am quite confident that we will get a bill. that's the interesting thing about this argument. as i pointed out the appropriators in the senate have already rejected the o.c.o. funding. this $38 billion that we have in here is gone, done, poof, not going to happen. we are going to have to have a further debate about that in the appropriations committee to actually fund any of the stuff that we are talking about in this bill. i am confident that we'll have that debate. i wish i could be more confident it will come out in a positive way. we need to lift the budget caps. we actually need to pass appropriations bills and not shut the government down. we'll see what happens on december 11, but when that happens, we can pass this bill. we are not going to not pass the ndaa. we just need to pass it the right way so it actually helps our country and actually funds the programs that we are talkin

where we stand in the defense debate. but just to remind, today i believe the congress will send the president the national defense authorization act. these two gentlemen and their colleagues of both parties and both houses of congress have been working on all year. that would in addition to funding the pentagon at the $612 billion level which is the level the president had requested, by the way, last winter, also takes some important steps forward on acquisition reform, on authorizing various steps in regard to syria, ukraine, other places, deal with the military pension question so far in our modern history the military has given a generous pension to those who did 20 years service but nothing to those who did 19 or less and, therefore, there's some changes in the bill that would address that. many other important bipartisan achievements, but, of course, we're at a juncture where high budget politics if you will are interfering with the likely prospects of this bill and the president has threatened to veto it and he'll

every well-known expert on defense budget. senator mccain position well known for his service to the nation both in u.s. navy and and represent the people of arizona in the u.s. congress. even when the key voices in the fight to strengthen american nationals good to eliminate wasteful government spending and reform government. congressman thornberry has served in the house permanent select committee on intelligence as those on the budget committee come resources committee of the select committee on homeland hod security and is widely known as an innovator and a strategic thinker in national security and the two have been working together to put together the national defense authorization act. in a moment i will turn to mike to frame the discussion but let me make two briefs point of contact. seems to me were clearly into a moment of intensifying geopolitical challenge in both asia and europe as well as confronting the collapse in the face with a huge implications of our interests and our values. the second is despite premature

yet we continue to cut defense spending. i wouldn't mind increases in some spending, particularly where intelligence and other aspects are concerned, the c.i.a., many other agencies of government. but this is really an unnecessary fight and i really wish that the president would reserve that fight if he feels that strongly about the overseas contingency operations to the appropriations process. mr. thornberry: the president submitted a budget for defense that the chairman of the joint chiefs said is the lower ragged edge of what is necessary for the defending the country. he asked for more base than was allowed in the budget control act and he asked for $50 billion in oco funding. $50 billion. when the house and senate come up with a budget resolution, we have to follow the law, we believe, on the budget control act so we have a lower base but make up the difference in oco so it's an extra $38 billion in oco but the total is exactly the same. the only question is, which category the funding is put in. all of that extra oco,

first, the defense brought up the original suspect, abbass esfehani.l recall he was the victim's former boyfriend, described as hot-tempered, who made a hasty return to iran in the days after the murder. esfehani's fingerprints were found on the banister leading up to the murder scene. >> i'm telling you straight out, the guy was cold about it. >> and the exchange student's former roommate remembered a strange reaction when esfehani discussed cheryl miller's death. >> i remember saying to him, you're acting as if nothing even happened. >> okay. >> it was really -- it was shocking to me that he could care less. >> what do you think really happened to cheryl miller? >> well, i think the most plausible theory, in my opinion, is that abbass esfehani was the one that committed the crime. they were lovers. they had just broken up a week before. she had called her parents -- this is in police records -- a very bad blowout. >> what do you think happened? >> well, miss miller was not only beautiful, but she was very bold. and mr. esfehani was from a country cul

in the department of defense. but we do watch how we use both of those to ensure we are prudent users. resiliency is realally what we e focused on. in march, you issu the army's sustainability strategy. talk to us about the core elements of that strategy. the elementnts of the strategy are to help people understand why energy security and sustainability is important. i am an engineer. we like talking about renewable energy and energy efficiency. we like to talk about what we are doing. but in order to o better inform our uniform service memembers, e neneed to talk about why it is important to them so ican form decisions that they make, so they can have assured access to energy when and where they need it for resiliency. incorporating at advanced technologies to give us the nd oflexibibility and adaptability we need to win in the complex world we are involved in. fox think of your job and they focus on the energy benefit. andolks think of your job th focus on the energy b of it, not to the water bit of it. why is w

china defense diplomacy have yielded some positive results. u.s. and pla navy vessels have successfully employed the code for unplanned encounters at sea during recent interactions. i would note that while the united states operates consistent with the u.n. convention on the law of the sea. we have seen momentum in promoting shared rules of the road. our efforts would be strengthened by senate ratification. mr. chairman, i would like to thank you and other members for your support on this issue. finally, we're working to strengthen regional security institution and encourage the development of an open and effective regional security architecture. it's an increasingly important partner and the department is enhancing its engagement. this including efforts such as our decision to host defense ministers for the 2014 u.s. defense forum as well as secretary carter's recent announcement to deploy a technical adviser. throughout its history, the u.s. has relied upon and advocated for freedom of the seas. this is essential. nowhere more so than in the asia

let's talk about this defense because they lost a bunch of players in the off-season but this defense sacked ryan tannehill five times. intercepted him twice. he was underture rells and how about stopping the run game? held them to 15 yards rushing. last week the dolphins had 248 yards rushing. the dolphins were never in this game. rich: the numbers brady put up in the last five games -- days. jim nantz, phil simms, we are eight week through the football season for these two teams and tom brady and the patriots have a two and a half game lead on the jets and a four-game lead on the dolphins. they're taking control of the a.f.c. east. jim: you're right, itch -- rich. they have a stranglehold on it at the moment and now 7-0. this is now the second time in patriot history they've won the first seven games in their history. of course 2007 was the other occasion. you started at the end of the game talking about some comparisons. who's going to beat them? the year they won the super bowl they lost four times in the regular season. you don't see four losses the rest of the year. phil: no, ie

it's the national defense authorization act. it has a history of being bipartisan. the speaker did an enrollment assignment, sending it to the president. never in the history did we have a president say he wanted to veto something of this nature on something that's not in the bill. we should never get to the point in this country where we play politics with our troops. this deals with the future. it deals with the security. it also deals with the payment of how we treat them. i know there's problems in washington, but it should never get that low. i hope the president reconsiders. mr. scalise: yesterday we sent president obama the national defense authorization agent. -- act. this bill was worked through the committee process. chairman thornberry and so many others worked in a very bipartisan way to put together a bill that not only makes sure that our troops are properly funded, increases their way, makes sure that guantanamo bay inmates are not sent to america and given american rights, does so many other things to protect america's safety abroad where there's inc

but it was a resilient defense that had been burned a bunch. notre dame was moving up and down the field, making big plays. had come very close. they do force the four turnovers in the second half. they did limit prosise on the ground. they got in the backfield a bunch, kirk. but boy, they were really test ed ed. a yard away from overtime. >> kirk: remember we were just kind of mar vechling and they got voweler inable in the passing game. kizer threw for over 300 yards tonight and it -- that aspect is what brent venables is probably going to work the hardest on to get his team ready to continue to trim to improve. >> chris: give you the at&t strong performance. just enough for clemson. you know what, when notre dame visits clemson, it's only happened twice, the last four decades. finish. joe montana just got it done, the last time the irish were here and deshone kizer came very close to a comeback that would have joined the long list, notre dame just a yard short there. something they can build on, even though it's a loss. >> kirk: i think you'

and the clemson defense rises up. to hold off a furious notre dame rally. >> kirk: interesting call by relying on the feet and the legs of kizer -- this is all about the defensive line of clemson. watch dodd and watch watkins work here. and then, you have the safeties come in and help out. but a great job up front. i mean, kevin dodd, 98, would not -- look at the extension wisher. he just throws him back into the -- into the quarterback. boulware's involved. you saw blanks get in there. >> chris: you saukelly's disappoint. watson's relief. the decision by kelly to go for two early in the fourth quarter. they got that first touchdown. it will be questioned now, the way things eventually worked out. >> kirk: no doubt about that. and you go to the last second here with seven seconds left. you had an unsportsmanlike penalty here on clemson, so, notre dame is going to be onsides kick. and if they -- you know, it's a slippery field, it's wet. if you kick this and you somehow recover it, at least it gives you a chance at eit

defense. but it shows you with the spread offenses we have today and all the skilled players and these two tremendously accurate quarterbacks, they can rack up points on anybody. let's go to jerry punch. doc. >> jerry: coach, 625 yards total offense. deshaun watson, six touchdowns. how would you describe the play of that sensational quarterback? >> that's what great quarterbacks do, man. they pick you up. tonight was -- hadn't been a part of many of them like this tonight. i'm proud of the team. made enough mistakes to lose the game. give nc state a ton of credit. man, what a great performance by them. they fought us every inch of the way. never quit. we got up 20. they kept fighting. we made a lot of mistakes. at the end of the day we made a bunch of plays too. i am proud of number 4. a lot of heart by our team. you saw that tonight. and you know, if you're going to be a great team you have to find a lot of different ways to win. we did that tonight. so hard-fought game. on the road. back-to-

national defense authorization bill. the bill provides our troops with the resources they need to keep america safe. it meets the funding levels the president requested, yet the president has vowed to veto it. why? because he wants to stop and spend more money on his domestic agenda. it's time to put our troops first. time to stop playing political games. iranian terrorists soon are going to have access to billions of dollars as a result of the president's nuclear deal. this is no time to block funding for our troops with the critical mission that they have ahead. >> good morning, all. quickly give you a little snap shot of what we have this week. i know we have a lot going on, a lot of other issues you probably want to talk about. there are a couple bills i wapt to highlight. first one of the bills the speaker has fought his entire career for. many of you have children. it is no longer what you become but the opportunity your children have. there's one unique thing about america that every generation has improved on the

difficult defense and jurors do not like that defense, drake law professor... bob rigg... says an intoxication defense is extremely rare and hard to prove. in his nearly 40 years of practicing law...rigg says he has used the intoxication defense only a handful of times... but a judge only ruled in favor of it twice. he believes the reasoning is due to jurors not being able to relate to and understand the substance abuse severity level. 541216 - the level of intoxication has to be extreme, very severe. its not a situation where youve have one to many cocktails while partying , this isnt a situation where you may have ingested more of prescription medication than you should have, its too a point where you cant mentally function depending on the verdict, the intoxication defense could lessen a an arraignment is set for a teenager accused in the death of his grandmother. 17-year-old noah laprei is charged with first degree murder. police say he beat his grandmother...rachel pray...to death on saturday night. pray was the teen's legal guardian and the pair lived tog

defensively they're the best team in the country.obviously didn't trust cardale jones down the stretch to throw it. they knew what they had in elliott. what a nice job for indiana. let's go to jerry punch. >> jerry: urban meyer walked over to the indiana sideline. you were patting their players on the back. never ness conference. what you were thinking with indiana inside the 10? >> we have a good pass rushers. i thought maybe bosa, adolphus, that's one of our best, is pass rushing. >> jerry: first-half offense had trouble moving, early in second half, and you move almost at will. what was the difference? >> we have ezekiel. we're 5-0. 1-0 in the big ten. >> jerry: passing gamer cardale struggling with accuracy and touch. how do you fix it? >> keep working and keep grinding, and we'll get better. >> jerry: coach, congratulations. >> mike: urban meyer is so good, such a brilliant coach, great teams play poorly and still win, they did it on the road against a team that's undefeated. >> ed: undefeated teams go into college playoffs. >>

and the clemson defense rises up. to hold off a furious notre dame rally. >> kirk: interesting call by brian kelly. relying on the feet and the legs of kizer -- this is all about the defensive line of clemson. watch dodd and watch watkins work here. and then, you have the safeties come in and help out. but a great job up front. i mean, kevin dodd, 98, would not -- look at the extension there against a tight end, wisher. he just throws him back into the -- into the quarterback. boulware's involved. you saw blanks get in there. >> chris: you saukelly's disappoint. watson's relief. the decision by kelly to go for two early in the fourth quarter. they got that first touchdown. it will be questioned now, the way things eventually worked out. >> kirk: no doubt about that. and you go to the last second here with seven seconds left. you had an unsportsmanlike penalty here on clemson, so, notre dame is going to be kicking from midfield for this onsides kick. and if they -- you know, it's a slippery field, it's wet. if you kick

so the process we move forward met the defense department's request and president's request for defense but has not met nondefense increases, all of which on defense and nondefense are barred. captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2008 captioning performed by vitac really tried to work with us more than anyone else has. 1961, 51% of the budget. now it is 15%. that is a problem. it is the lowest percentage since world war ii, but that is not the problem we are addressing today. what we are talking about is the tooth and the tail. hagel suckedtary to shrink the headquarters and major combat command staff. secretary carter indicated a target 20% reduction of the staff during his time as to be secretary and in august of this year, the deputy defense costtary ward said reductions at major headquarters ordering reparations for a 25% cut and appropriations from 2017 to 2020. there is a lot of language in their that says this is what we need to do. to think about something that has not been brought up yet. the observation that i have made a long time ago. that is the problem you hav

i don't support sequestration across the board, defense and non-defense. we are moving forward on defense and dealing with the increase in local funding to offset the cuts and not really looking at the n non-defense appropriations and in totality the entire budget. i supported the ndaa. i think the first vote coming from the house, i was one of 41 democrats that voted in support of the bill. today's vote is going to be very interesting but i am going to vote for it. i think it is too important an issue for our country and also for my home state of hawaii. having said that, i think the president and the democratic leadership on the house and senate, has a very compelling argument in regards to the fact we are moving this forward without a budget deal, and the question remains what is going to happen on non-defense. the non-defense includes the veterans affairs department as well. i would hope we have a budget deal long-term. i am a little disappointed truthfully we passed a short term cr but that last night was better than a shutdown so i vetted for that. i
