. -- nuclear defense. then we have sean gainey. so if you're counting, each of them have had three hats each. brigadier general gainey's previous job was also very closely related to our business today. he just left as commander of the 94th aamdc which is, of course, very close to the point y end of this business as well. why don't we start off with some intro remarks from each of those, and then we'll have a conversation after that. >> thanks for hosting us. this is always a great event, great forum not only for the people who are here, get an opportunity to continue the conversation even after the discussion we have here. so just a few months ago i, you know, i read an article -- i think it was back in june -- during my normal morning reading in the early bird, and this was an article that was eau quoting the naval chief of operations at the naval war college, and he was discussing the challenge and the strain that doing the bmd mission was having on the navy. and certainly, what i'm not trying to do her

former german defense minister. is standing for election to the supervisory board even though he's still a member of parliament and on its defense committee where he helps make decisions about homes deals. young is indeed elected to nine matal supervisory board he'll be promoting the company's controversial deals with turkey. but he won't retire from parliament until the autumn which critics denounce as a conflict of interest more. malignant it is on the courts aren't going to go in the hague i young's not good that. you didn't reply to our inquiry as leave government ministers a sub. to a cooling off period after leaving office when there's any hint of a potential conflict of interest but that doesn't apply to ordinary members of parliament. my discovery. at the end of the annual meeting a happy gives her report she asked the supervisory board how many combat training centers was so and where and the extent of the bomb despairs involvement. the fact that the fun part of what they said the trade secrets prevented th

for the country's defense industry. like his predecessor as president emmanuel mccool visited the fan. c.e.o. of dust so evie ation showed him the fire fighter jet. fighter jet was developed almost entirely by france france had withdrawn from a multinational european project the euro fight a typhoon in one nine hundred eighty five. just to c.e.o. top he is also president of the french aerospace industry lobbying group she fasts . it was a. it was a lot of the support of the president of the republic is important because in france the president is the head of the armed forces the for him to go to those he determines what the future needs will be. bodies will be out he decides on the missions and he observes how the material or military technology operates in conflict zones it's important to show him the products made by the manufacturers so that we can respond to his needs to sit. he always home to one of the few french institutions it's taken a critical look at the government's lobbying on behalf of the defense industry

defense programs. during his reelection campaign, he cannot opposed to the space force on the grounds of it was too expensive. so i think we will see increased scrutiny of that proposal in congress as well. host: plenty more to talk about down the road. todd harrison is the defense budget director >> c-span washington journal live every day with news and policy issues that impact you. coming up this morning, the family research council's and blackwell onken what president trump could face as democrats take over the house. discussing henderson felony voting rights and criminal justice reform. and a "christian science monitor" reporter on crime rates in america. live at 7:00 eastern this morning. join the discussion. >> next, military officials discuss air and missile defense operations at the center for strategic and international studies. >> thanks for coming out. for the next 90 minutes or so we will have, for the next two and a half hours, i will say real quick we will not have any problems, but in c

er defensive gun gary's original study says saying i have a gun is a defensive gun use. i've got a gun, do not yell at me. only one half of those people that had defensive gun use even pointed the gun at the offender. 47% said there was no threat or attack for their use. excuse me, if there is no threat or attack, how is it a defensive gun use? 52% of the offenders were unarmed. according to the survey only 18% , of the offenders had guns. something is wrong. there are arguments over whether these defensive gun uses are effective. some studies say you are just as likely to get injured with or without a gun. some say you are just as likely to get injured with a baseball bat. obviously the numbers do not add , up. what does add up is we have significant cost and defensive uses are questionable. i think we can find a way to say let's reduce the bad things from happening without taking the good things away. thank you. [applause] >> gary, you may go to the podium for your rebuttal. mr. kleck: first of all, we need to make clear that the term prohibition covers a lot of ground

split with short range air defense, to rapidly show the defense capability. at the same time we have baked in requirements and the perfect example, we can't allow that to be the problem and we talked about this, there is tension right now because at some point, maybe to the services this is still a joint problem. >> you covered it very well. you can never neglect a threat out there and have to constantly find ways even if it is perceived as strength or dominance to be able to react especially when you start getting multi-domain forces in certain locations where you may not have that superiority. we have to tailor our systems and task force to provide capability against any threat and the counter air threat continues to grow and with the advance threat. >> it may come back to some of that but let me just say global integration in the title of this event, the chairman sees himself as global integrator and with that perspective you talk about how the joint staff has or is currently supporting that particular mission, the vision, the day-to-day requirements, how

those are defensive purposes. if we have background checks and restrictions on weapons, the shooter was stopped when she changed the magazine clip. if he had a smaller magazine clip, he might not have killed that little girl. the sandy hook kids, some of them got away. those sorts of things to make a difference. i think as a country, we should look at commonsense restrictions that make it harder for dangerous people to get guns. the stresses risks and responsibilities. that will not take away the chance for anybody to have good, defensive gun uses. >> we're going to the q&a section. at any time, you can ask questions of each other. do either of you want to ask a question? number one, as to the brady campaign's attitude toward washington's handgun ban, they wrote a brief. whether say nothing of or not the brady campaign thought this was an effective way of controlling violence? did a brief advocate that this policy? a good >> they don't discuss the policy implications of it. we indicated that we thought that the se

the commission on national defense strategy is a polite, but scathing critique of the national defense strategy, in particular calling into account the fact that there is no operational concept for deterring or defeating russia or china in a war, which basically says this is not a good idea, in the absence of civilian control of the military, which you may agree with or not agree. my concern is if you take that report seriously, and the expansion and growth of the services, you need to budget closer to $800 billion a year than $700 billion a year. i would argue and predict we are heading toward a hollow force. if you look at the readiness of the forces, it is in great decline. training accidents are higher than deaths in combat. so i agree with jim in terms of prioritization, but the department of defense has always been bad in doing that. so how do we discipline the department and the process, because if we are looking toward something we need a smaller ready force. but getting there is going to be increasingly difficult, especially in terms of the blended retirement plan that is now

at the heart of it is our defense and national security issues. thank you for what you are doing in that regard. thank you. >> sorry about the time but glad you got your questions and. >> thank you to the chair and multiple chairs and multiple ranking members and to the panel. i am not eager to engage in hyperbole but i do think a potential cyber attack is something we should all be concerned about. as much as it would be abrasive enough to cause all of the elements of which we would be concerned. whether it deals with the issue of war and peace or it if -- if it is domestic or if it impacts the nation's electric grid or water and sewerage, normal functions and transportation. it is an amazing reach we have and i think this hearing is extremely important. i do think it is important to raise the question regarding the creation of the cyber defense and to start off with my first question which i think has been asked but i would like to hear how effective the collaboration is with the cyber responsibilities of dhs and those that dod we have dhs and d

ok, defensive gun use. only one half of those people that had a defensive gun use , even pointed the gun at the offender. 47% said there was no threat or attack for their use. if there is no threat or attack, how is it defensive? and you are not pointing a gun, how is it defensive gun use? 52% of the offenders were unarmed. only 18% of the offenders had guns. according to the survey. something is wrong. there are arguments over whether defensive gun uses are effective. some studies say you are just as likely to get injured with or without a gun. some people say you are just as likely to get injured with a baseball bat. the numbers do not add up. what does add up is significant cost and defensive uses are questionable. we can find a way to say let's reduce the bad things from happening without taking the good things away. thank you. [applause] >> gary, you may go to the podium for your rebuttal. i recommend that. mr. kleck: first of all, we need to make clear that the term prohibition covers a lot of ground.

defensive gun use. in other words i've got a gun. don't yell at me. okay. defensive gun use. only one half of those -- only one of those people that had a defensive gun use even pointed the gun at the offender. 47% percent there was no threat or attack for their defensive gun use. excuse me, if there is no threat and no attack, how is it a defensive gun use this and you are not pointing your gun, 52% of the offenders, 52% of the bad guys were unarmed. and only 18, according to the survey, only 18% of the offenders had guns. something is wrong here. a lot of arguments over whether these defensive gun uses are effective, just as likely to get injured with a gun, without a gun, some likely are saying you are as likely to get injured with a baseball bat. obviously the numbers don't add up. what does add up we have significant costs and the defensive uses are questionable. i think we can find a way basically to say, let's reduce the bad things from happening without taking the good things away. thank you. >>

collective defense. the idea that the risks we face and a dense inter-connected technological environment are shared is the only model and way forward. threats and risk does not conform to our divisions. neither should we. we believe it our responsibility to make this a reality. we look forward to national understanding of national threat and risk and coordination across the national government and private sector to detect and respond to cyber threats wherever they occur. we serve as an operations integrator focused on organization specific and cross-sector risk-management support to enhance the resiliency of our nation's critical infrastructure. our national cyber security and communications center, provides a broad range of cape annuals to capabilities to assist private sector entities across all sectors of critical infrastructure, including energy, finance, communications, emergency services, and health care. it is best to think of it as a point of fusion for cyber security threat detection, response,

of defense industrial resources. previous speakers in the series include the acquisition executives of the army, navy, air force, and the special operations command, also the sector the air force, now former secretary of the air force and karen secretary of the army had been speakers in this series. it shall suffice to say this series is a further expression of what general brent scowcroft had in mind for us. to be an institution which creatively cultivates a transatlantic constituency for strategic thinking about and practical solutions for the problems of international security throughout the globe. today's discussion, i claim, about implementing the defense industrial policy leads directly to that mission, and i want to thank again the entire panel for adding their names to the series ' distinguished posture of alumni. thank you. now, let's welcome eric chewning. eric is a deputy assistant secretary of defense for industrial policy in which capacity he served as the principal author of the report to the president

understand defense and social policy is important to start with the national defense strategy. as many of you are aware, the nds with its focus on great power competition clearly laid out three priority areas, increasing the validity of the -- the legality -- the leth ality of the joint force, strengthening alliances and building new partnerships, and reforming how the dod does business. defense industrial policy plays a critical role in all three. because defense industrial policy is a strategic effort to generate and convert economic power to fulfill military war fighting requirements now and in the future. it is how we generate and allocate resources to modernize the force. it is the means for strengthening our industrial base and industrial base cooperation with our allies and partners, and it's a process that can be made more efficient through reform. now, our war fighters have a broad set of requirements. the dod buys everything from cell phones to nuclear weapons, healthcare services to spacecraft. the nds in particular highlighted key capabilities for force modernizatio

he is on the defense science board. and you will see from his bio, that he was on the stanford a tennis team. some people know that he was on the stanford tennis team at the same time as john mcenroe, but many people do not know that they were teammates in intramural basketball, three-they. that was during the same time that john mcenroe was heading for number one in the world, i have no idea why he subjected his body to the punishment, but maybe it is because jim miller could protect him and get the rebounds after john mcenroe missed his shots. but is a little bit of biographical perspective on jim miller. and finally frank rose, now a senior fellow at brookings. he was recently in the state department for president obama as the assistant secretary for, arms control verification and compliance. and do not forget the last part, edgese frank has a hard come even though he is a nice arms controller at one level, he is a tough am a strategic thinker at another. and so he will, with contemplating changes in our new so defen

critical to our defense and our asperity. there is a belief in some quarters that those kinds of technologies -- and our prosperity -- there is a need for more traditional weapons, maybe the navy can mop all some ships and the air force -- mothball some ships -- and they don't need so many trigger pullers on the front line. is that the case? are things like cyber and artificial intelligence sufficient to replace good old- fashioned trigger pullers and airplanes and jets? >> not in my view, senator cotton. i think first of all any of these technologies have great promise, but it will take a bit of time for civil to develop the technologies. then as admiral roth had said, to figure out how we will use them operationally, before you can -- as admiral roughead said -- in the medium-term having a strong, robust conventional deterrent to dissuade potential adversaries for taking actions that are inimical to our strategic situation. >> thank you. in the time remaining i want to turn to a final question. on page 69 of the report on r

the national defense -- the whole system is towards national defense. somebody have reached the decision that, well, we're done with missile defense. we're dune with jiamdo? >> thank you. i think you're asking the same question a lot of us have. the only possible think i can think where the person got the idea was that the prefer director of jiamdo, his time was getting short and he he warned to accomplish a couple of things before he left. on his job, in that tour as director of jiamdo, grossly perspective entered this is all that is left to do in the air missile defense and global enterprise. i can't explain it nye way because you just on the tv and see that everything is not done in integrated air missile defense. there's cruise missile from yemen, north korea, there's china. so, issue in else. >> have to look at the context of the time. you're talking over 20 year period now. if you look at when i was at jiamdo and you were -- that was 10-12 years difference. i go back do my comment before -- one step further. how did the -- when we left desert stor

defense industrial base. this is a report that was a whole of government effort led by the department of defense, eric chewning and alan lord's able team, those are the people i would signal out as doing yeoman's work inside there, led by pat shanahan. i mean, great public servants here getting the job done. they were the perspiration for this. the inspiration for this, and i'm stealing eric's line because i first heard him use it, was a presidential executive order that came out of discussions my deputy alex gray had with the presidential team back during the transition thinking about how if we're going to strengthen our manufacturing base and think about national defense, one of the best ways to do it is kind of figure out what our needs were and what our vulnerabilities, more importantly, were in that defense industrial base. this effort just like so many things that this president is doing is historic in a couple of ways. i mean, one, it's the first assessment ever done of the defense industrial base, tha

the national defense strategy. we know when we sent our troops into the brigade and combat teams, only 30 more than could be deployed in the offer army brigade. the kwimtd in maintaining the equipment and modernizing the equipment that our troops were using the commission advises we have a need for extraordinary urgency in addressing the crisis of national defense and i agree. i'm going to interrupt the ranking member. i've been informed right now zsh a -- and they have a way of disappearing. i asked the committee to consider a list of 1592 pending military nominations. all of these nominations have been before the committee. the requested length of time. is there a motion to favor the report that listed 1592 pending a nomination? >> moved. all in favor say aye. motion carries. the national self-defense authorization act to provide an independent evaluation of the national defense strategy. congress required the commission assess assumptions, missions, structure, and strategic and military risks associated with the

the best defense is not weapons. the best defense is not necessarily the military. but they aren't needed. this is pretty good optics having these guys sit here. i have two minutes and i can speak for another 10 hours and i know the part of this is understanding. i don't know how many times i have been in this part of the world listing to someone in a leadership position for my country talk loudly and down at the people of the region. if you want cooperation, you speak with them as equal. otherwise, they will shut down and don't be surprised if they do. i have seen it so many times. also, stating something like the following and i know a lot of americans like to do this because we are the greatest country on earth. stated that in front of people you are trying to make an agreement with, and however true that might be in your mind, that would do nothing but in that agreement. really, how you deal with a person in this part of the world depends on where you are. how to deal with an egyptian general is completely different from dealing with a jordanian general. is some

instruments to further our defense corps. does.resident economic security, national security. andrew: so, with the things like you are talking about, these materials that we might feel the need to start production in the united states, something we no longer produce here are we want to see produced here in greater abundance and maybe a project would support that. some trade policy to ensure that production wasn't immediately obliterated by normal global competition or less than normal global competition. if there a way in which that transitions at some point and we reach competitiveness and that point? how to achieve that objective? there is some skepticism and some folks that even if we were to start a nasa tungsten production in the united states, would it still be competitive in 10 years time or when we continually have to support that? dr. navarro: it's a great question. it cuts to the heart of the matter. it also cuts to the heart of the matter of the trump culture. we do things from a business perspective and try to fig

the secret defense?ere going to agree with the prosecution on one point, that when jean called 911 to report her husband dead, the murder was days old. >> that call is 100% fake, there's no question about it. >> not only was the mom lying to 911 about when the murder occurred, no, argued the defense, she was lying about something much bigger, who the true killer was. the defense attorney saved his surprise for closing arguments. >> it was an unusual moment, because certainly, i knew there were many friends and supporters of jean tan in the courtroom, and i was going to basically suggest to these jurors that she had pulled the trigger. >> jean tan, the mom, the wife, the true killer. the defense said the shotgun was in her hand. she pulled the trigger. she solved her own problem, not her son. that was the story the defense saved for the 11th hour. >> not an easy thing to do in a packed courtroom. >> according to the defense, it was jean tan who had the motive, the motive to get rid of her bully husband, g

if you think about the old days, someone in defense, standard defense expert, would never think about tax cuts or deregulation as a way to further our defense goals. this president does. >> so, the things you're talking about, some of these materials that we might feel the need to start production in the united states and something we no longer produce or we want to see produced and maybe a dpa project would support that or trade policy to ensure that production was not immediately obliterated by normal global competition are less than normal mobile competition. is there a way in which that transitions at some point that we reach competitiveness and how do you achieve the objective , because my experience is there is some scott to schism, that even if we were to start a massive production in the united states, what is still be competitive in 10 years or would we continually have to support that? >> it's a great question, it cuts to the heart of the matter and it also cuts to the heart of the trump culture. we do things from a business perspective, try to figure out what is the best an

if we are able to sell defense systems what does that do? it makes the region where the partner is more stable. most important to me, going through the vietnam era with afghanistan is fewer american boots on the ground. at the same time from the economic security point of view that is more jobs right here. good jobs and good wages. i will give you an example of the f-16 this is why we need that policy. this president, donald j. trump has a different attitude could consummate a sale that led to the new facility with greenville south carolina that isn't the big factories but when you reactivate that supply chain to mobilize 400 suppliers in 41 states, that's what it's all about to get back that supply chain. so this policy is one of the purest expressions of economic security is national security and also what we will talk about now which is the defense industrial base. that is the cover of the report this was an expression of the first president since eisenhower to think strategically this is the first, the first whole government assessment o

our mandate is is to advise the secretary of defense on the investigation, prosecution and defense of allegations of assault and other sexual misconduct involving members of the armed forces. today's meet iing is being trib. the complete transcript will be posted on the website. we will begin the meeting with testimony from a marine core civilian defense, pert who will speak about the effects of sexual assault investigations on accused surface members in cases where no charges are preferred. this will be followed by testimony from a panel of civilian investigators from boston, baltimore and albuquerque. after a break for lunch, the committee will resume with a presentation from the case review working group on its review of 166 investigative case files and the working groups initial findings and recommendations. . this will be followed by the deliberations. and a brief iing from the staffn three recommendations from the judicial proceedings panel that has asked to examine for its march 2019 report. the committee will receive a briefing on a provision from 2019. it tasks to report on v

if we had an undersecretary of defense within the department of defense at the same time that we establish a department of the space force, could you give me a sense of how you see those two entities interacting with one another? >> yes, sir. that's a great question. i think the first thing, if i were to think about a department of space, and u.s. space command, i have heard some areas where it sounded a little confusing to me as to whether u.s. space command would be a functional kpatant kmnd that also hayes service capabilities like so comis moving to which makes you think why do i need a service. i would first delineate is this a gottant command that fights on behalf of the country and the service is steined to organize train equipment and provide forces for that? i think you undermine the need for a at the present time if the you try to create a combatant command with service like authorities. it is confusing. as a cyber guy, i would have loved to have have a single focused osd oversight office where i got focused oversight with expertise on everything we did. i think an asd space coul

defense secretary. he most recently served as senior vice president of supply chain and operations at boeing where he spent over three decades. he holds multiple advanced degrees from m.i.t. at boeing he specialized in developing large weapons systems and bringing them to market. as a deputy defense secretary, he is the d.o.d.'s coo, overseeing the organization and operations. we're pleased to have him here today. secretary shanahan, over to you. >> good morning. if it's okay, i'm going to have short remarks so we can spend our time doing q&a. does that sound good? all right, good. john, thank you for having me here this morning. i do have a couple of just kind of wave tops i'd like to hit. i think the assignment i was given was make sure we are able to write lots of good stories. so that's my intent. joe, why did you say we had to leave early? might have to, yeah. no. no. we've got all the time this morning. i do appreciate having this opportunity to spend time with you this morning. i'm hoping in the

ken, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and global security, principal cyber advisor at dod. and lieutenant general, director of command and control communications and computers, cyber and chief information officer at joint chiefs of staff. we look forward to your testimony. and before i turn to my friend and ranking member from rhode island for his opening remarks i want to take a moment to thank him for his hard work and dedication over the past two years of the congress, it's a highlight of my time in congress and look forward to working with you in the feature in a bipartisan and collaborative approach. >> thank you, chairman stefanik and thank you and jimmy for convening the joint hearing on such an important topic and likewise, i want to say what a pleasure it's been working with you the last few years as you chaired the subcommittee and have been collaborative and bipartisan and look forward to that, also. so the challenges of cyber space effect all aspects of our national and homeland security and i'm glad that these two subcommittees, both of which i sit, are

of the national defense strategy. congress requires that the commission ss structure, and strategic and military risk associated with the strategy . after exhaustive review, the report was released earlier this month. today's hearing is an opportunity to hear directly from the commission on what they learned. i would like to highlight a handful of the findings. first, the commission echoes the nds in finding that the u.s. technological edge has eroded, peerompared to its near adversaries. as the commission notes, maintaining or reestablishing america's competitive edge is not simply a matter of generating resources and capabilities, it is a matter of using those resources and capabilities creatively and focusing them on the right things. the commission makes a series of recommendations. i hope our witnesses will discuss them with us this morning. in addition, one of the main lines of effort of the nds is building a more lethal force. that possesses decisive advantages for any likely conflict, while remaining proficien

the german ministry of defense responded to our inquiry in writing. it said the commissioning of private service providers takes place outside the area of core military capabilities i.e. particularly in the area of logistical and technical support for this reason it does not fall under the scope of the constitutionally established parliamentary oversight. the bundeswehr defines its core military mission in afghanistan as reconnaissance surveillance security evacuation and the training of local security forces. in the case of laundry and fuel services it's easy to distinguish between civilian and military duties but what about when the contractor is a weapons manufacturer. house muff i.v. command is a german base defense company that specializes in ahmed vehicles it's also operate to repair facility in mazar e sharif. has been on what we're going to do and they have contracts with various companies there are hardly any military service staff here anymore present on my nose duties of all been handed over to private industry. i was barred from security r

could expect defense shares to go forward i know g.e. does do some defense work as well so perhaps that will rescue in oh the company for a bit but of course with the money they make they'll just buy back more shares and hollow out the company and and. in no obviously you don't really have to compete if you're connected to the government if you're a defense contractor you don't really have to innovate so i don't know if it will rescue g.e. in the long term certainly in the short term you could have a boom thanks to the democrats now willing to dispense money to go fight some more general electric is a scam going that claims to be a utility coin but in fact it's an unregulated plutocracy and yet if it probably will rebound on the death play and does pay hefty dividends and some hedge fund activist has fun while we still call green mailers back in the eighty's will come in and build a big position and it'll be the story and they'll make some money but remember at the end of those profits are dead babies actually g.e. shares are down over f

missile-defense. starting with nuclear modernization, believe it or not, during the obama administration, there was a certain amount of bipartisan consensus on the need to modernize our strategic we're delivery vehicles and infrastructure. despite the fact that many on the republican party had accused the obama administration is not paying enough attention to nuclear issues, obama was able to do with the bush administration was not able to do, create a bipartisan consensus in favor of modernization. that was also attached to arms control. i would argue that the new start training in 2010 was very very critical in building that bipartisan support for the modernization. had we not had the new start treaty, i think it would've been difficult to bring aboard many congressional democrats and jim played a big role in the negotiations on the new start treaty and i commend him for his work. however, that consensus is beginning to fray for a few reasons. one is the potential price tag of the modernization prog

had been written by the defense by dr. well, the reason she said that in jail, she was fearful of the presence of emily harris who was right there in the same room. when we pointed out to dr. west that emily harris by the jail records was nowhere in that room, his answer was "well, i find that interesting too. that shows what a powerful presence she was. patty thought she was there." no matter which way the evidence was going, he was going to go and find that she was being coercively persuaded. this is not beyond understanding at all. like many 19-year-olds, she's open to new and different experiences. the sense of adventure, wanting to do something significant, totally different. not skiing in switzerland. this is not skiing in switzerland. >> the stockholm syndrome is probably the term most familiar to the public in connection with brainwashing cases. >> there is this idea of stockholm syndrome, which came from a bank robbery in stockholm, sweden. over time, the people who were held hostage begin to identify with their c

caller: i was on your defense news website yesterday. i was writing a letter to my senator, pat toomey. sequestration did not happen by magic. they had this committee in 2011. they did not take the deadline seriously. they were supposed to come up with budget cuts. instead they went home for thanksgiving. i hope my senator responsible because they just gave up and sequestration came in. they knew it would hurt military readiness. now we are just supposed to forget who was on that supercommittee and how they abandoned their responsibilities. why don't we hold these people accountable? guest: thank you for reading defense news. we appreciate that. it is a really good point. when this committee can together the idea was we will set it up so it is so awful we will never let it happen. we all know it is so bad. -- everyonel agree will agree. and then it happened. people seemed surprised by that on the hill. absolutely. the effects wend are feeling now in the military you will continue to feel for some time. it was a self-inflicted point by co

we are spending this year $700 billion on defense. the only priority is i hear from you and from this report is more. and that can't be an answer. >> i agree, there is no amount of money we can spend that gets us out of the conundrum we are facing with russia and china. and the report goes to great length to say in addition to sufficient resources, we need new operational concept and that may capabilities in the long run save us money, but i don't think are a magic bullet. peace, ivil military don't think there is new legislation that is needed. i think there's plenty of authority and title x for civilians to do their job. think what is really important is for the shots to be filled in for people to be there occupying it. i think we have at least one, maybe two assistant secretary positions that are making right now, and those jobs just need to be filled a need to be filled in a timely manner. we need some longevity in those positions so that people can amass the experience that allows them to deal as equals with their military peers.
