every resource at your disposal, ask for help from operations, the dod, help with terms of monitoring and just the transporting to these drugs and misunderstand by air across the border on small strips. why are you not accessing the resources that are available to you. >> to continue that operation. >> you are changing your view on that and asking help. >> from my perspective i agree with you that we need help. >> do you need additional resources beyond operation phalanx? >> yes. it is important for this committee to hear because i don't know if it is 2% that you are able to stop but it is a small number, new detection, monitoring capabilities but it is not working, to stop the flow of the poison. the cure is going to be on the demand side. we got to do a better job. >> i agree. it goes threat-based operation focused approach as well. we need to increase counter network strategy. we need to work through domestic partners and continue to work with international partners in canada and mexico and fight the enemy and stop it before it touches the border. those are things we are doing but

couple parallels here, and you can go back to the pick of robert mcnamara, when he went over to run the dod. and eyesisenhower wanted to hir people that he didn't know, people that were running huge corporations and didn't need the job and instead were doing it in part for public service. and it seems trump in this process has gone a long way from initially want to go hand out this possession as a patronage job to rudies, and checks off the boxes that ike was looking for in his cabinet secretaries. >> exactly, and the thing that struck me the most about this is the bet on tillerson is basically the bet that trump asked the country to make on him, which is i have been in pursuit of private profit and my own business interest all these years, and now i will go and work for you and i have been successful in the private sector and hoping to translate that success to the public sector, and to some extent, i don't know this, but my sense would be that trump to some extent sees himself and motivations in the mirror when he looks at tillerson. >> how are you concerned about the big red flag people

boom open to the armed forces, the dod and their families. navy federal credit union. >>> welcome to "the volkswagen golf alltrack postgame report." >> despite a furious late rally by the giants, the eagles hold on and win their first nfc east game of the year. in so doing, the dallas cowboys win the nfc east in 2016 and clinch the one seed. interestingly enough, they can return the favor to the giants, night football" and beat detroit, that would clinch a spot for the giants in the 2016 playoffs. heather cox, right now, with malcolm jenkins. >> malcolm jenkins with two interceptions, including a pick six tonight. how motivated was this team not to allow the giants to clinch on your home turf? >> very. we've been in a slide. and things haven't been going our way. we wanted to show up, compete, stay together. we knew we were getting healthy. got some guys back. felt condent coming back in front of this home crowd. took everything we had to beat the giants team. a really good team. a big team win. >> and tonight, the first time -- >> that's wha

in which the way that dod thinks about its existing conventional forces.ur president-elect has made it his motto, peace through he has clearly been thinking about this along the lines of building and increasing both spending and production levels in terms of conventional weaponry, ships for example. 350 ship navy. if you wear if i think president-elect trump in how to think about third offset strategy in relationship to existing conventional forces, what would you say to him? >> i think the third offset technologies that we have been discussing like unmanned vehicles, artificial intelligence and so forth, can actually extend the life of existing systems. fourth-generation aircraft like f-15s and f-16s, if accompanied by swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles for example that are can to operate autonomously extend the life of these platforms so that the evolution of military capabilities and the application of military power in support of a particular strategy can survive with a mix of using,g systems evolved for want of a better term, third offset technology a

most often when you have a problem like this, it's systemwide, whether it's dod. i know the fraud made a piece of that but that's a very interesting statistic. so i'll get more when we come back on my time, but thank you. >> thank you, mr. chair. and i'll be quick and yield my time. i also thank congressman heck. he's been invaluable. we are talking about trust. and when i signed when i was 18 years old, i don't know that i was a whole lot smarter than congressman denham when he was 17, probably a lot smarter. but it is kind of a contract that you're going down there and you're trusting and you're believing that what the recruiter is saying it is the truth, so i think it is a trust issue we're trying to build back. but general kadavy, you talked about the gims system a little bit. i'm going to give you a little time to tell us how that's going to build back some of the trust that we can have in how the recruiting process is going to go and how we can be assured that awful these problems, if not, are going to be caught before they become a problem. >> so, congressm

can you please provide the committee with more details about how cpp is currently engaging with the dod to help the retiring or transitioning service members? >> yes, ma'am. as a former, current, i guess i always consider myself a united states marine, this a great program. our human resources, they would be able to give you more details, but i can tell you they actually won an award this year, for their interaction with the military counterparts, and we are seeing extreme positive benefits. they're increasing their recruitment events across the country at military installations and abroad. a couple of the things they're looking at in detail, which is the right thing, you know, a couple of avenues of reciprocity. physical fitness. if you have somebody from the military, do we need to have them go through that again, when they're already physically fit and taken a test within a certain time period. a polygraph, if they recently passed a polygraph, do we need to put them through another one. the division is looking at to increase that. >> could i just make a point. right now, it takes 18

not criticizing the good work done by lockheed martin, but from a dod perspective, was that the right approach. if you have an aircraft that has a cost per hour flight of $40,000, and we're going to potentially be rolling that out to people in $10,000 trucks, that's not a cost-imposing strategy on the part of our enemy. that's a cost-imposing strategy. other people might question it. i agree bca is irresponsible. we need to think about what is an actual portfolio investment strategy across this range of things and what are the ways to buy down risk depending how you count it. since early 1990s, tax payer funds with zero capability, look at future come bast systems, cost overruns. i don't think we're starving for dollars but i don't think we have the right approach. how do we have a more diverse mix so we don't get into mono cultures where we're putting in platforms that assume efficiencies over 50, 60 year life cycles. we don't know what's going to happen next year. we are continually surprised in the strategic environment, and we need to have a portfolio that allows you to respond to

i don't and what it is about you i just dod wh not like this guyg he's the worst. those thing the besb thing you can do is live yourvey life and try to be good tond tre people. pe >> this is like a film making m question i'm curious how the hot scenes work when you're ridingwu on the truck. tru because it's fascinating you'rer delivery the lines but like is l there an element of like i don'd want to fall off? >> there's definitely an element of i don't want to fall off. he had me ready to be latched od to the thing because he knew i n just had a hip replacement andca so and and so forth.orth he said if you have to, man,, we'll chain you to the thing and we'll cut. cut but i went through my rehab andh because he's so wanted to helpp me, it made me want to be able to do it.. but it was joy to be -- youou don't feel right if you don't d' it. >> i was sitting across froms f denzel he said that.d i was like, eh, eh it took me ae second to realize he's so right. we base everything in our livesv on likes. >> in out business, it wases like -- i mean just in general.. >> ju
