we need to rely on outside entities to be able to propagate the message alongside with the department of defense. what i mean by that, the use of influencers. we have people that have wide castanets with big followings that have some connecting tissue with the department of defense. those are the experiences we need to start talking about. need to communicate with the film industry, tv industry to give us a little bit more leeway to be able to highlight the good of surfing in the military. lastly, a lot of our own private organizations that are looking to help us when it comes to any particular issue whether it is wounded warriors, financial stability and so on to actually speak on the positive of why they are doing what they do as an organization to make sure we maintained the legality of required to fight a determined enemy. those are just a few examples of what we need to do with the recruiting effort to move the ball forward. lt. gen. wright: did you have a follow-up question? if not we will go to susanna. >> you can go ahead to the next question. lt. gen. wright: susanna? and please unmute

that is fundamentally something the department of defense will always do. we may gripe ingrown and say that someone else's job, but at the end of the day, the department of defense is there for the u.s. public, and it will support the public. this was an opportunity to say, given the responsibility from a war fighting perspective, abroad, and in partnership with our allies in a war fighting scenario, what is it that we need for them to be prepared for to be able to detect early on what is in the environment to be able to continue their mission and that was a singular focus that we had throughout the bpr review. like i like to bring it back to second to the formation of the bpr. and the council. if you could expand a little bit on how the council was put together, who is on it, and why. the perception is that the dod as an incredible skill and just about any area you want to mention in the biological world, and medication. and in epidemiology. you name it, they got it. if you and the deity to do something, they have the capability but everyone has a day job.

and the state show we do a, a strong and coordinated efforts with the white house and the department of defense in terms of uh, in terms of sustainable planning of the military supports. packages of military supports and financial support, but there's nothing that could signal to us that basically these by parts of sport or ukraine will be undermined by any of the elements of dart boards. but we have to say, i mean, just last week, for example, president biden said that he believed and use that word, believed the us would have the funding to support ukraine as long as the tech's saying that he believes that it doesn't sound as confident as to us used to be as well. uh, he made the statement and uh, just today we have uh the announcement from the uh, from the us about the zation of another package from the military support that, of course, its not looking the way as the f. uh ukraine. uh you find out officials are sitting here waiting for for the last time. this was a daily job which has been done at chords nation with that with the white house and department of defense. so we have a very clear

minister of defense in the conditions of war yes, he is mastering shmygal, said that it is about $ 48.7 billion allocated for the defense of ukraine. the lion's share of these funds. this is the department in the conditions of war, all public venues are closed, it is impossible to see who is participating, who is buying? who brings? who takes away, who pays? at what price is it bought. you can proceed in general the scale of corruption, which, uh, exactly directly from the department of defense. why should this be done now, because , of course, one can argue about whether there will be elections or not, but the political situation itself suggests that something must change in the near future and the regime. here zelensky is under a big big question. therefore, after the dismissal of reznikov, it will still take some six months to sweep everything that they have done there with a broom, because it concerns. these are not only corrupt officials who are sitting in ukraine, but this primarily concerns those corrupt officials who are involved primarily americans who are involved in laundering this very money through the department of defense. including on the territory of ukraine it would be

some of them will be released from confidentiality and the documents and documents of the us department of defense , the us state department, some recent ones, let's look at the issue from their point of view and from our side, there was a small amount, and now let 's fully examine the people present at the scene of the war commanders and the documents. in addition to, for example, some american documents it creates a deeper and more accurate meaning for the audience. we tried to look at the issue from a different perspective, why this happened at all, that is , there is an interview with one of the american field commanders of the iran-iraq war operation, who comes and says , "why the mother of sodium?" this means, what equations were created in the war that i should intervene in this way and give these chemical weapons, how was it that i was informed that we brought it up to be precise, the story was arrested, the reality of this history of the revolution and there are documents in many places, unfortunately, we it reaches them and for example with you many of these parts from we used documents

secretary austen and they have followed up on this promise to provide the full resources of the department of defense. those resources have to be requested through our local emergency managers and they're doing that, but i think it's fair to say there's nothing the local government has asked of the department of defense that the department of defense has not said yes to. so they are fully engaged in a joint command structure and i've been very, very impressed. the navy called me and end o pay com is fully engaged through the hawaii management agency. >> senator, we thank you and again, our condolences, our sympathy is with you and everyone in the hawaii community for what your state has endured. best wishes. >> thank you very much, andrea. appreciate it. >> thanks for being with us. and presidential immunity. donald trump's former chief of staff floating a strategy for why he says he should not be charged in the trump georgia case. will the former president follow suit? that's next when "andrea mitchell reports" is back in just 60 seconds on msnbc. k in just 60 seconds on msnbc (christina) with veriz

of defense grandshops immediately wrote on social networks that britain will continue to support ukraine grandshops before this appointment he was in charge of various ministries, but how will he cope with the department of defense grandshops do not get used to coming to 10 old street for his new appointment already his fifth position in the government in the past 12 months, now he is the minister of defense and he faces difficult challenges: the war in ukraine, defense spending from the budget and much more is shaps' visit to ukraine. last week, when he was still the minister of energy after his appointment, he promised that support for ukraine in its war against russian aggression would continue. however, soon he will face questions about what this means in practice in the ministry of defense. who is leaving the parliament and decided to resign from the government, however, in his resignation letter ben wallace warned, i am sincerely convinced that in the next 10 years the swing will become more dangerous and unstable, according to wallace, even after many years of persistent he added that we cannot return to the times when defense spending depended on the whims of the government and were often cut

>> any specifics to what caused this and what was related to it, i will refer you to the department of defense for any specific questions. yesterday, the present extended his condolences to the families of the marines lost their lives in this horrific crash as well as his prayers to those who suffered injuries. any additional information on the specifics of the crash or what caused the crash, i would have to refer you to the department of defense. >> it seems we are seeing too many of these aviation incidents. does the president feel there needs to be some sort of reevaluation or reconsideration of training or focus on maintenance? >> when it comes to our military, we will always be concerned and he will want to make sure they have everything they need and they are safe. anything related to this, i don't want to get ahead of what the department of defense might be looking into and might be causing it. they would have to answer it more specifically on the question. >> question on the house speaker, he talks about the federal response to the deadly wildfires on maui. what do you make of that and

i have since had a conversation with someone who is involved in the department of defense who insistsformation on this. so while it seemed kind of an off beat things for congress to fro can you say on it's high time we did. there has been a lot of speculation on this going to be for dozens of years. think i it demands more questioning. not to mention the star witness who he jews saw a second ago kept saying he could not reveal things because he was in a more confidential setting forces more confidential setting. congressman garcia i'm going to play another soundbite from the whistleblower the u.s. is concealing this multi decade program. take a listen. >> i was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi decade uap crash retrieval program to which i was denied access to those additional read-ons when i requested it. >> are you aware of any individuals who are participating in reverse engineering programs for non-extraterrestrial crafts? >> personally, yes. >> bret: okay. the defense department spokesperson says to date all to date ano, ma'amly resolution office has not dis

whether it was world war ii, social security, the highway system, the department of defense. reagan came in and it was a revolution that went to trump. it was more of a suspicion of the federal government, not to waste, balance the budget. and now we are in a time of neo-civil war. the age of reagan is over. they are morphing with biden people. you have a new world order going on with donald trump and how he has consumed so much of the oxygen of our country. we do not know where we are at. this divide, al gore and george w bush down the middle. the florida recount, hillary clinton won the popular vote but trump came president. we have not been able to get out of that feud. i think the republicans are winning in the sense that they were able to get recent supreme court justices in. that has fueled an unraveling of the programs, roe v. wade, clean air and clean water act. we are now in an aero where americans think less government is more. libertarianism is going on right now. on the other hand, if biden wins, we may be living in the age of biden. trump is eating all of the medi

and this is going to be official department of defense response from the u. s. that almost saying a bigger military is required to confront the climate price isn't. of course it's a feedback loop, isn't it? when is the, what do you mean? yes, absolutely. yeah, yeah, it's the military and our military leaders in the us are very quick to admit that the claimant crisis is a national security crisis. and of course, it's a global security crisis and a planetary security crate this. so it's even more than their acknowledging. but when they say that the national security crisis, they mean something different than how we might think about it. what they mean is that it's a crisis for their military, they mean, but there are no military base as naval bases. that may be victim to the rise level and that they need to accommodate for that. they mean that they need to prepare militarily for migration crises. that will arise because of climate change or that they need to prepare for a military response to climate prices that might come about from things like water scarcity or,

now it's been sold to the uk department of defense information from the battlefield. naturally, the machine makes a much faster decision. naturally, the machine is able to hold a lot more factors. the question is how much the machine can now give orders down the field. again, this has to do with the grid. this is related to how these orders will be perceived and so on and so forth. but if we can. into a person into operators, how will a fighter be called in these conditions, uh, sew in a system that gives him ideal data and gives him orders and this allows him to survive. of course he agrees. whether it will be sewn into the helmet or directly into the optic nerve, it's still a question there, well, a question of several years. but if we see that it works, then it will be used. well, we always, humanity always first comes up with technology and thinks about how to apply it in war, and then you can make a tester out of it, as far as i remember , next year the pentagon requested $ 3.2 billion for the development of artificial intelligence for military purposes. and if y

and again, department of defense military leads had a heart attack of military. we can't have all these middle school kids getting off a bus learning that it's really sad, you know? and so the mall was transformed. the korean war memorial was built, the world war two memorial was built a women's memorial was built, a bunch of other memorials were built on mall in response to that. so that's the sort second memorial boom in the united states. and that's the story. and it's also it's interesting. it's the story about reshaping militarism after vietnam, making war great again is really what that is trying to do. so in a follow up to that, with the memorials that are more generalized, the memorials that are built to a specific person, do you think that it is harder? like is there more cultural significance placed on the honorable you know, the honorable dead, the weight of honorable dead, who people use to hold these up is it harder to confront it when it is a general statue like silence. sam is it harder to fight that weight that is the respect towards all of these

stories that i anticipate we will see coming out of our recently-formed partnership -- or i should say growing our partnership with the defense department, our relationship with the office of capital. not only will be working on sbi opportunities together but now we are going to be alighting on investment programs, the sbic program, to create opportunities for private -- private funds to work with sba and get capital from it and provide support to the departments to help them get access to subject matter experts on these technologies that are critical to our national security to support american investment in technology such as trusted ai, for example, but also quantum computing, you know, future g, hypersonic, renewable energy. and these are not just things that the department of defense is seeking to procure. it is the technology that we want to build here in the u.s. to have jobs created in the u.s. to support the innovation here in the u.s. so again, we are leading change, not responding to change -- now responding to change, and we have leaders across the public and private sector that are informing how we use these technologies so

anything related to this, i don't want to get ahead of what the department of defense might be lookingnt to get ahead of them so they would have to answer more specifically on those questions. >> additional question on the house speaker. also would investigate the response to the deadly fires on maui, and does the -- >> appreciate the question, a couple things. since the onset of the unprecedented tragedy that we saw in maui, the president launched a whole of government approach. you heard me say it, him say it and the fema director, they lost so much, they lost historical land, they lost their community, and also as soon as the governor in hawaii, josh green, he has said this himself, requested a major disaster declaration, the president signed it and you have heard from the governor, and the two senators who have lifted up and said how quickly the president responded and the federal government responded, refer you to their own words. a week ago today, the president, first lady, they met with survivors, emergency responders and state and local federal officials. they saw firsthand the

it's a broad partnership with lots of stakeholders but that way, they can have activity into the federal government and defense departmento understand ways that we are thinking about advancing these technologies and objectives in these cases. beyond that, many of these companies in addition to taking equity funding from venture capital funds, often take venture debt. we have seen that market experience some major challenges since the collapse of silicon valley bank and other primary venture lenders over this past spring and summer. what is exciting is that the administrator noticed some interesting patterns with ppp. what did we hear from industry? on both sides of the aisle. what we heard is that it was wonderful that these emergency funds were able to get out to many small businesses, but we were leaving behind the innovation economy of small businesses and startups because of a long-standing regulation related to affiliation and control. that considered a small business if you have taken on equity funding from private funds, you are not eligible to get funding. you have to have bootstrapped the business and able to se

navy -- you heard me say that at the top -- the department of defense. and fema has staged more than 50,000 meals, 75,000 liters of water, and thousands of cots and blankets. and we're going to continue to be available to them. we're going to continue to do a whole-of-government response in hawaii -- in maui, specifically to make sure that they have everything that they need. and, look, you're going to continue, certainly, to hear from us on this issue. >> i just really quickly want to follow up on seung min. what's the level of concern inside the white house about a potential work stoppage at u.s. auto plants, given the, you know, tense nature of that negotiation? sec. jean-pierre: so, look, i'm not going to get into hypotheticals from here. what i can say is the president believes in collective bargaining. that's what he continues to encourage. that's what the statement basically lays out. and we saw -- we saw how that worked well -- right? with the teamsters and ups. they were able to come to the table and come to a mutual beneficial agreement of both

of $850 billion in total u.s. national defense budgeting, $100 billion is the intelligence budget within the defense department, hidden in plain sight. because it is now public and unclassified. every other detail about the intelligence budget is classified. about $100 billion of that is about defense spending. much of it is to put up satellites and maintain technical capability. the navy budget includes the marine corps. the department of the air force includes the space force, which is tiny but still expensive given the satellites. the army used to be our biggest budget service when it was bigger and very active in iraq and afghanistan. it has now become the smallest of the big three departments and a lot of activities have been shared across the defense space and represent almost $150 billion worth of spending. finally, if you are wondering, how do we spend, this is the breakdown on the -- title. we spent about three to $30 billion on operations and maintenance. the reason the 23 number is higher is that it included a lot of ukraine money. 3:30 is closer to what it was next year. there has been a valuation acquirin

they include dot, veterans administration, department of interior, department of defense. rtment of education. all the rest are all federal agencies. a long with a mayor, a governor, the national association of tribal historic preservation officers and the o national conference of state preservation officers. >> what are some of the controversial cases that have come before the advisory council prior to today? >> the dakota access pipeline is one that came up recently and as you may recall, involved a pipeline going across a waterway that was of significance to native american tribes. that was a core permit. there was a lot of litigation. one of the things that they pride themselves on is encouraging consultation of native american tribes. that is a big issue these days. that has gone several ways. the courts have approved it. the courts have re-examined the permitting. that was one of the controversial areas. a number of cases however that demonstrate the productive work of the advisory council and would love to focus on those, too. they are very diverse. you have a park i
