dod buys a lot of stuff from defense contractors.o protect the military and taxpayers, it's long been law the defense contractors must give dod contracting officers certified cost and pricing data to help verify that a price that's being charged is fair and reasonable. one of the big exceptions to this though is that for " commercial goods and services. based on the principles that the market will make sure it's fair price if you could buy it on amazon that's a fair price you don't have to go into all the background.i get that. and i'm all for commercial buying but the fact is, this is turned into a massive loophole where big defense contractors withhold data even though there is no market and dod effectively the only customer, doesn't have this information so that these giant companies can price gouge the military. so i want to give you an example. for years the army was buying helicopter engines from honeywell. honeywell successfully lobbying congress so the engines would be treated as commercial and honeywell would have to turn ov

that does not mean that the dod is not working with us but in order to maintain our independence, we have our own blackhawk certified pilot in the working group for helicopters. regarding salvage at this point, the navy supervisor of salvage is conducting salvage operations at the current time. barges are on route from virginia beach and we anticipate them to be on scene early tomorrow morning. after their arrival, they will be secured and located and then significant salvage operations will continue. they are ongoing right now. this will be the main lifting. it's being done in conjunction with the d.c. medical examiner's office in order to make sure simultaneously that any additional victims are recovered and immediately turned over to them for identification and returned to their families. the supervisor of salvage is conducting a job remapping right now that will help and postaccident analysis of how the machine actually reacted to the incident. it will also help us with understanding some of the crash and airworthiness and human factors. we have two distinct debris fields. one th

npd, dcf d and on the federal side the coast guard, army, air force, fbi, secret service, customs, dod, american medical response, and the u.s. department of labor. all of those have been amazing partners and they are one of the reasons why this investigation continues to progress the way we wanted. we did briefings last night and today there are over 100 family members now in the area receiving briefings and receiving assistance. they have been briefed by the medical examiner, the fire chief, the ntsb chairman and myself, along with the family assistance unit. in regard to ntsb staff, all staff are now on scene that had been requested, and i want to point out one specific staff member because we are doing a joint ntsb and dod investigation. the ntsb has a certified pilot on our staff based out of alaska. once we realized the dynamics and intricacies, we brought that member and. they are on scene now providing direct technical assistance to ntsb. it does not mean that dod is not working and helping us, but we have our own blackhawk certified pilot in the working group for helicopters.

, what do we need dod to come back with? how do we need to work together? what setting do we expect that to happen in? i have used this band and i want to get to the bottom of where we need to go process wise? mr. lewis: i think there's been a messenger -- mr. gillen: i think there's been a misunderstanding as to what our goal is. 350 megahertz is almost as much spectrum as they have available. no one thinks all the radar should go away. too much of this conversation is , oh, we need $200 billion to do something no one is asking them to do. we need to get to a place where we have engineer to engineer. we think segmentation makes sense when you look at what's happening globally. look at the top 150 and within that what are the systems? there's a missile-defense facility in alaska. there's no need to move that. there's the airborne system out there that will get replaced in 2032. so let's talk about what's available in 2032. there's other systems using channel five. can it work on channel three? other systems, can we use small

do some cooperative work with the dod and the va.also bring in into account the state associations as well. >> i want to emphasize that last point. the national defense authorization act. getting to the senate and the house to communicate veterans transition status to the state veterans facility so this person can be greeted at the airport, for example. that is a kind of handoff that i think we want. do you agree. it is how you are perceived. i viewed the service part of the va is the most important part. there sometimes you have to tell people know. you have to tell them we cannot do something benefit or something else, but there is always time to make that veteran feel like they are cared for. i believe that the transition time, as you said, that warm hug is a thing that we need to actually look at. >> it is a time of heightened risk of suicide for example. let me move on. having some discussions. i think this points out one of the fundamental flaws in the federal government peer kermit process particularly in national security are

what do we need dod to come back with? what settings are we expecting that to happen i am familiar with this band and of using a professional career i want to get to the bottom of where we need to go process wise. >> absolutely. i think there's been a misunderstanding to everybody what her goal is to think at the lower at three gigahertz spectrum is 358 megahertz that's almost as much spectrum as 5g has available for. no one thanks all the radar should go away but that's a bad idea to much of this conversation is we you $200 million in 20 years to do something that no one is asking them to do. ultimately we need to get to a place we think segmentation makes the most sense about what round what's happening globally we look at the top 150 in the top 150 what systems? there's a missile defense facility in alaska. no one should move that. there is no need to move that. there's airborne system out there that's going to get replaced by whetstone 2032 let's talk about what's available in 2032 with their other systems channel five

you see, targeting the dod would be bad for his business. and the bigger point i'm making here is that musk is using his unchecked powers to attack agencies that americans and people around the world need, and in my estimation, he's doing so to feed an illusion that he and trump are unstoppable. dismantling usaid doesn't just cut foreign aid, it actually hurts american farmers who rely on the agency to buy their produce. dismantling the department of education strips access to critical resources to kids in this country, kids with disabilities, and to funding to rural districts who need help. the very districts that handed trump the presidency and who he claims he cares about. kicking us off this saturday night is california congressman john garamendi, a member of the house armed services committee. congressman, it's great to have you back on the show. i know this attack on usaid is very personal to you. you and your wife both worked in ethiopia with the peace corps, and you've spent your entire career working with the agency. you've also pro

the dod has called the housing of these migrants a temporary arrangement until they can be taken backtheir home countries or somewhere else. rich: cb cotton life for us, thank you for her morn immigration was from a senior fellow at the center for renewing america. kent, thank you for joining us this afternoon pretty hurt cb's report you can house up to 30,000 migrants at guantanamo bay. you think that's enough capacity for what the president's trying to do here? >> no. and honestly, it's a great facility to use it. of course you've got to ship people there so there are expenses with using it that do not exist in other places apart on the other hand is another example we don't talk about cuba much. but, 3 of the top countries for not taking back adjudicated repatriate a bowl, or deportees, cuba is 1 of the top 3. you can take them and walk them through the gate. that is like returning mexicans right across the border. that is easy to do from guantÁnamo. of course the secretary was talking about it to house a more dangerous criminal illegal aliens it's also useful for that purpose. and

when i went from dod to v.a. i was given a cd-rom. i had to wait 90 days to go talk to v.a., at which point i went and saw a physician assistant whose job determine whether or not i was still an amputee. it was a waste of his time, it was a waste of my time. he wanted to be taking care of veterans yet he had to go through this rigmarole. to this day they lack good transferring of information from the dod to the v.a.. it is also compounded when you go to community care. i do think that we need to do much more to allow veterans to make their own decisions. stu golic, i appreciated your attention to this issue, about veterans being able to make the decisions. in your opinion how should the v.a. be ensuring that veterans are getting the information they need to make appropriate decisions about their care, including the choice to receive direct care at v.a.? because v.a. needs to be a medical center home. i think you should go to v.a., that is your medical center home, and they look at you and say, ok, you are an iraq veteran, we are going

2022 invasion of ukraine and despite the unanimous assessment of the trump administration of trump's dod and ic rejected the conclusion that syrian dictator bashar al-assad used chemical weapons against his own people. i don't know if her intent in making the statement was on those dictators, or how it was perceived. in either case it calls into question her judgment. if she has the ability to build the trust relationships not only our ic work force, but even more importantly, to give our allies confidence they can share their most sensitive intelligence with us. make no mistake about it, if our allies stopped sharing that intelligence, we will be less safe. to offer just one example, last summer intelligence sharing between the united states and austria saved countless lives by disrupting a terrorist attack at a taylor swift concert. underscoring the importance of these relationships. ms. gabbard has been publicly outspoken in praise and defense of edward snowden. someone who betrayed the trust and jeopardized the security of our nation. the vast majority of the information he stole and

but a lot of republicans are like you can't touch the dod. is that the right mindset?> that's right. so the pentagon actually has never passed an audit and also we just saw the other day zelenskyy doesn't know where $100 billion is of aid we have given. we need a lot of audits to do in a lot of different agencies. >> laura: congresswoman, thanks for what you have already uncovered and keep at it. and breaking tonight, president trump revokes joe biden's national security clearance he wrote on truth social this is no need for joe biden to keep receiving access to classified information. therefore, we are immediately revoking it and stopping his daily intel briefings. he set this precedent in 2021 when he instructed the intel community to stop me from accessing details on national security. joining me now mike davis, former law clerk to justice neil gorsuch and president of the article iii project. mike, a lot of people don't realize that these briefings do continue. i'm not sure why they ever continued. i think all of it is stupid. but, in this case, is it justified giv

modernization is an incredibly important part of what we're doing at dod.nuclear triad, for example. russia's got a massive nuclear arsenal, china is racing to build theirs quickly, hundreds of nuclear weapons year by year. we need to update our nuclear triad on land, on sea and in air. that also includes the iron dome, golden dome, whatever you want to call it, we have embraced the executive order of president trump. we're going to insure it's included in reconciliation money in the fy-26, all our budgets going forward to invest in the ability, maria, get this novel if idea, to defend our homeland. that's why we're focusingen on our southern border and the invasion there, the the 100% operational control, and then our skies. as president trump is, he's a visionary just like ronald reagan with sdi back against the soviets. our skies will be deterred from rogue actors or enemies. and that helps us project power in a meaningful way as well while protecting the american people. maria: and people better understand the threat of china, secretary, and i know ther

dod train and equip program. again under president obama, is widely known, looked at, and studied that resulted in over half $1 billion being used to train who they called moderate rebels but were actually fighters working with and aligned with al qaeda's affiliate on the ground in syria. all to move forward with the regime change and not acknowledging what was obviously at the time and impartially has born true which was a regime change war in syria, much like in iraq, toppling of qaddafi and mubarak, would likely result in the rise of islamist extremists like al qaeda taking power. i shed no tears for the fall of the assad regime, but today we have an islamist extremist who is now in charge of syria, as i said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9/11 attack, who ruled over idlib with an islamist extremist governance, and has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like christians in syria. why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me. sen. kelly: it shouldn't be. i ap

defense secretary pete hegseth said doge is more than welcome of the dod. >> we need to know when we spend dollars we need to know where they're going and why. that simple accounting that is not existed at the defense department. every doubt we can find it is not being spent wisely is when we can put toward more fires but will welcome doge at the deity will partner with them it's long overdue. the defense department has a huge a budget buddies be responsible. >> this has been fascinating. guy, we will start with you. this initial talker there's been talk president trump is talking about going after the department of education truly thanks they are. this of you really want to save money go to the military-industrial complex. and now, the president they are light come on over, check us out particular books. >> i think the national defense is literally something that is required for the federal government. what's more important than a court existential function of government. but, that being said i think everyone understands that not every dollar is placed correctly or wisely within the

identity months dead at dod. forward, dod components and military departments will not use official resources to include man hours to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness month, including black history month, which is it? >> that's the ultimate question, right? the administration is issuing that they are going to recognize and celebrate black history month month. and at the same time, some of these agencies are saying, no, we're not. and i think the confusion here is due to donald trump's policies, specifically his push to end diversity, equity and inclusion policies. and so we're seeing with how many changes donald trump and this administration is trying to make, it's prompting confusion among the agencies of how to exactly follow those initiatives and and play them out. so in this case, we're seeing a really big difference coming from the white house versus the agency itself. >> shelby talcott, thank you very much. enjoy this saturday. >> all right. >> still to come, new developments in phi

they have billions of dollars of contracts with, um, with the dod.you know, we're we, um, and i'm sorry, i should i, i don't actually know the exact amount, but certainly large contracts with the dod, and they've had them for many years. um, and so i think the reality here is that, you know, we're looking at people who have a vested interest within their own companies of getting contracts with the government, of making money through deals with the government, and now have access to sensitive government data. and, you know, not that, you know, we know exactly what they're looking at because there hasn't been a lot of transparency. but that opens questions about whether or not they're able to see sensitive data from their competitors for similar contracts, whether or not they're able to see sensitive information around individuals or companies that they might consider, um, threats to their business. >> all right, victoria elliott, thank you so much. coming up, a big change to how medical research is funded. that's next. >> i told you i don't need these

now, of course, one of the worries and we talked about this this morning is particularly with the dod, is that musk is a federal contractor. so he gets to decide ey and who doesn't. but he also, you know, his companies received billions of dollars in government money. yeah. it's all interesting to see. it is indeed. thank you. we want to move you forward this midday here. so i want to give you a live look. this is over at levi's stadi out there. you can see there. so look, i can rest assured, excitement certainly building because you know what next? super bowl officially in the hands of the bay area. yeah. this time next year, nbc bay area's bob redell joins us live outside of the stadium this midday. we're also getting a sense of how much money this big game could bring to the area. reporter. we are. good morning to you, laura marcus. super bowl 60, which will be hosted here next year at levi's stadidium. it projected o have more than double the economic impact of super bowl 50, which was the last super bowl to be hosted here. we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. i'll

if we're seeing what it means for other government agencies, what could it mean for dod? >> yeah, i mean, the slash and burn approach has just been remarkable. and, you know, on the foreign aid side, we've seen them basically put a halt to everything as they start to comb through things. and we appear to have lost. >> we still have audio. so that's the good news. but we are going to get in a quick break here. as we look at this video of. usaid, the letters there having been the logo plastered over the letters, having been brought down and the lights are back. that's how it works. >> they flip the switch back on. >> if they go back out, we're going to go to break. but here we are. and i do want to now talk about a very important part of this press conference, which was the piece of the fbi agents that we heard our kaitlan collins talking about, mike clark, who's the president of the society of former agents of fbi, is with us. he's a retired supervisory special agent. mike, what did you think you heard the president there saying when caitlin asked, will you fire all of the
