so the department of defense's consolidated audit is a gigantic undertaking. the department spends about a billion dollars a year on the effort. the department of defense oig is in charge of ensuring that the 23 consolidated financial statements can come together. i think over the last two years, it's been conducted, there has been incredible growth in the ability to identify the universe of transactions and also identify performance areas that could be improved, including the financial services and audit component improvements, the i.t. systems and the data compliance measures. i think that there is absolutely room for improvement on how that audit can be conducted, but the d.o.d./oig has been doing an incredible job managing the public accountants, their staff as well and working with the other components and service members to get that job done. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. bremer, i appreciated the exchange you had with senator reed about the importance of responding to the socom comprehensive review wh

look at the records that were released by the department of defense according to their numbers they say that there were 20500 instances of unwanted sexual contact tax in 28 scene reports increased 38 percent from 2016 to 20 teens and that one out of every 16 military women reported being assaulted in that year and we also have to remember those are just the people who actually reported it because we have far too many cases of women and men who are terrified of reporting it and speaking out so the numbers are likely much larger. number 20000 is a ridiculous luling is that we do have to think about the it might be double that of the people who just don't report because they know that like i said earlier either nothing's going to happen or they're reporting directly to somebody who may have been the person who does them in the 1st place i have to ask what's next. in the future of fort hood because this isn't the only scandal with valving murder and things like that that have hit fort hood now in the last year or a while now her family is calling for a congressional investigation into her d

caller: i was an auditor with the department of defense for 25 years, and this problem continued. one of the biggest reasons for that is that the money goes from congress down to a department like the department of the army and it splits it out, but the army does not spend all of the money down to the subordinates. it gives back a percentage. each level keeps a little bit set back. when it comes the end of the year they have all of these reserves for emergencies that have to be spent. wishowest level has their list and they have not been able to fund those lists. they are ranked by priority. they are justn raining money down the tree, and picking offart their wish list. the best way to solve this is to list so review the wish there's nothing on there that you do not really need. times, i a lot of think the third number was furniture. that has and office not been replaced for 50 years, that is way down on the list. come time at the end of the year when the reserves are being held or disbursed --obligated, rather, they need to buy those. that is their chance to buy that. you always s

i think the exchange is largely, primarily a result of the fact of that the defense department and thevy themselves have stood up and publicly acknowledged that this phenomenon is real. that this is happening. that our navy pilots are encountering these vehicles. and so that imparts a credibility that simply did not exist prior to that time. >> i was quoting eric davis. i know you're familiar with this work when i read that "the new york times" paragraph a moment ago. do you believe that there are objects in our possession, broadly defined, our possession, that are from something other than this earth? >> what i will say about that is i think that assertion should be taken seriously. i'm aware of -- i know eric very well. i understand his arguments. i was present in his briefings on the hill. and he tried to provide leads for them to follow to enable them to potentially confirm this. it is an issue that should be taken seriously. in fact, curiously, president trump himself on father's day, indicated on air, while being filmed that he did have classified information about new mexico, wh

what truman did, he assured the department of defense that they were not in charge of nuclear weaponsad the nuclear commission, and they were always the ones in charge of nuclear weapons. this is a big surprise to people. the military base could not get their hands on the nuclear weapons. when they would test the nuclear weapons, that was overseen by the atomic energy commission, not the military. >> the test site was established in 1951. there was no statewide testing after world war ii. trinitye, there was the site in new mexico, but all of the tests after the war were done in the pacific, which was a big logistical nightmare. thousands to millions of dollars to move scientists and equipment to the pacific. they really needed something closer and stateside. it was rather controversial, actually to establish a test , site in the united states. it was not until the cold war started heating up and the war with korea started that the president conceded to establishing a test site within the united states. they looked at different areas around the country, and this was a very attractive

we were founded to try to provide more advanced capabilities to the national defense enterprise so certainly the department of defense, and u.s. allies and partners overseas. thesecus is taking emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and ,rying to build solutions capabilities addressing the problems that military operators and national security professionals have. not to kind of meet the requirements laid out 10 years ago, but to try to solve the problems in a and different ways. a lot of the work that we focus on, and this is a broad statement about the nature of these technologies, going back to what we were talking about earlier, what we are really , bringing new technologies into the force, is fundamentally enhance human understanding and decision-making, the nature of action we can take. i think there is a lot of confusion around what these technologies can and cannot do, misunderstanding and concern thet building skynet or terminator. there are at it, certain things these technologies are going to be good at doing now. there are a lot of things that they are not doing now and they should n

there is a reason why the defense department banned tiktok you look at the dangers from these social media app they surveil, trap and monitor people there >> this comes after trump announced further restrictions on huawei. >> oracle is now in the race to buy u.s. portion of tiktok working to challenge microsoft's office after trump gave bytedance 90 days to divest u.s. operations tiktok already had until september 15 to have its u.s. operations snapped up by microsoft or face a ban in the u.s. this newest order has further pressure to sell and has given a hard deadline to do so the u.s. is also tightening the screws on another chinese company that is huawei further limiting the company now access to semiconductor chips. the commerce department had already imposed restrictions which were made on the software without a license. this goes further and adding 38 affiliates to the government black list saying that they tried to evade earlier restrictions by working with third parties. this is said to be aimed at circumventing huawei and is also aimed at trying to close loopholes that huawe

when i was at the pentagon as the general counsel of the department of defense evaluating the legalityterterrorism operations, if everyone around the table and nodded their head, good to go, i would say, wait a minute, come on. this is a very serious operation we are contemplating. we need more discussion. is anyone here willing to be the? ? skeptic -- willing to be the skeptic? , a president only hears what people think he wants to hear and not what he needs to hear and that is a dangerous environment. david: leaders also have the urgentge often of driving on the important. it is coming across your desk every day and it needs the answer -- need an answer, -- when it comes to national homeland security, what about existential questions, the ones we cannot afford to get wrong? first, any major -- what we cannot afford to get wrong, any risk of an attack, any attack that is of high consequence. some are higher probability is, some are less, but you have to keep your eye on all of it. this is the reason why i keep talking about climate change and global warming. it is not always at the to

the jews were clamoring for support from the administration but the state department and the defense departmentere saying no way and african americans were demanding support from truman to southern, very powerful senators and governors say no civil rights in the world war these were unsolvable situations that i don't think any president could have handled but truman happened to be in the white house and he took the brunt of the blame. >> george michael i think was in charge of the state department and he would be influential and he was against the supporting israel for a lot of political reasons and there were a lot of rational reasons for going against what we now consider the gut instinct that you would do civil rights and of course you would support israel and that is the way it felt later on but certainly not the framework or the context in which he made his decisions. >> think about the israel situation itself. after world war ii 6 million jews died in the camps in the camps were being liberated at the end of the world war wide truman was president so it was the darkest secret coming to th

the state department and defense department were saying no way, were going to have a war with the soviets and we have this relationship with all these nations so that was the first year we imported more oil than we produced ourselves so these arab nations were not going to sell oil and we were going to need it becausethere was going to be a war and another issue he face with regards to this was just the economics of it all . because people were sure that the only way you are going to support israel and israel is going to be found is if we sent troops to help this country be formed and otherwise they wouldn't survive a warwith the arabs . so that put us in a very difficult situation and he finally decides with it, i'm going to support this 90 percent of it at least you and you know, he makes his decision and the buck stops here. that's the way it was going to be it became an issue during the election so it's located but we can talk about it. >> what we move forward to the election which the book is all aboutand that the process of it . we have a video, right -mark. >> this is the democrati

. $52.00 bombers flying over the black sea the defense department said 2 russian fighter jets crossed the bombers path just 30 meters ahead of it is that the plane was on a routine mission over international waters when the incident occurred. germany's president has condemned the far right activists who tried to storm the german parliament building on saturday evening that happened alongside a demonstration that drew nearly 40000 people to the capital to protest germany's coronavirus restrictions that protest was broken up by police but a small group of demonstrators led to reconvene outside that i stock lawmakers from across the political spectrum have called that actions a disgrace. several 100 demonstrators broke through barricades in front of germany's parliament their ice time they so outnumbered the police officers that they were able to shove through demonstrators seem to be largely from the far right place and many black white and red children rushed flacks sr gen and politicians said they were shocked to join interior minister say move the rice talk building is the seat of ou

the fact that most of them originated in the white house not the state department, not the defense departmentb: there's a ton of pushback from democrats to this speech. listen to a little bit of it. >> the fact that a sitting secretary of state would give a speech like this is flat-out disgraceful. >> the secretary himself cautioned employees at the state department that they should not be engaged in any partisan activity because they work for the state department. todd: are these criticisms justified? >> i bank that is an important question to ask. there is something called the hatch act and the secretary let the state employees now, they can't be involved in presidential political campaigns and i think leadership starts at the top. it will be helpful for mike pompeo to explain to the state department employees in the nation why he felt he could use his personal capacity to make an important speech at a convention. it explains why this is outside of this, the rules that he embraces for his employees would be helpful and also would support the president because leadership is about being consi

it was a heavy lift and you had to find a way to reallocate funds from the defense department and elsewhere. but you have two candidates now that support amnesty. kamala harris supports sanctuary cities. the sanctuary state of california. wants to eliminate i.c.e. your reaction to the very different positions that you have on this very key issue and an issue that has defined your first campaign and is a big issue still today. >> president trump: so the wall as well under construction. we have 281 miles up. 281 miles, one of the reasons the border numbers are so good because wherever it's built, nobody comes through. you can't get through it unless you're a climber of mount everest. that's about it. you have to be of that talent. we have 281 miles. the rest is being built by the end of the year it'll be mostly finished. we may add another 50 miles. it was unplanned for in certain areas that are little bit tough. will make that determination. the wall is built. you don't hear about that anymore. that was the biggest topic. as soon as i won, the democrats stop talking about it when they stoppe

he made the statement after the rebuilding of the defense department and the strategy but president trumpetting out of the iranian deal, resetting our relations in the middle east, getting rid of isis, rebuilding relations with israel that had been not good under the obama administration, president obama and vice president biden's appeasement of a lot of bad actors around the world, senator cotton added we are safer today as a result of the actions of the last four years of the trump administration. i share that view. host: representative dingell, the president very critical of joe biden, constant reference tonight and over the last few nights to is 47 years and public service. is that going to be one of the narratives we will hear from the republicans aimed at your party's nominee? >> i think that probably is. things wee of the will hear all fall. i am not sure that is one of the issues that will get attention. there are other issues we do need to take very seriously. i am getting tired of democrats being portrayed as supporting a number of things like writing and looting, which we are n
