clark: the dod has done this -- yes, so over time that the dod has done this with different sensor technologies as we replace and recapitalize the new generation of radars that's coming into dod right now, they are more spectrally efficient. sen. wicker: to supplement your answer on that, can you briefly talk about mr. baylis's reference to live interference notices? mr. clark: yeah, so the idea would be can you in real time be able to get a notification -- instead of normally what happens when you try to deconflict spectrum is you just detect the other user out there and then you have to respond to that. you'd want to augment that with a notification that comes from that other user to automatically tell you i'm going to use the spectrum now and here's the level and power and the frequency i'm going to be at, and then the systems can coordinate between themselves. so instead of simply responding to what they see in the environment, they're communicating with each other to coordinate their use of the spectrum in real time. sen. wicker: do you subscribe to his point of view in that regard? mr. cl

and so how are these experiences in dod and in afghanistan helping to try to build this force and then seeing the policies on the other side? how is it influence? how you looking at ukraine? right. i mean, we're training ukrainians in germany. and holland, belsen and groff and fair and things like that. no, not in ukraine. we're supplying them, obviously. and i know you've supported the the aid for for ukraine, but you've also said we can't have a this can't be a blank check forever. right. so what's the path here, do you think, for us policy in supporting the ukrainians? well, you know, i'll point out, and i don't mean this to sound as partizan as it probably will, but but it's just a fact that the obama administration did not provide lethal aid. president trump did. and it was green berets that were working with the ukrainian arms after the first invasion in 2014, all the way up until 2020 to and and thankfully, they did have those javelins and at least a few stingers and the green berets, they were training them and actually applauded national guard right before the invasion. i writ

saci is 850 billion of the dod and then an unspecified amount for the intelligence community. i'm working with mitch mcconnell, who until recently was the majority leader. senator mcconnell and i have significant political and policy differences, but in the last year it was very clear to me just how passionate he is about the defense of ukraine and i'm eager to work with him and with our valued european partners and allies in making sure that we sustain our investment. i'm interested in three things -- the cycle time for innovation, if there is anything we've seen in terms of technology and warfare in the ukrainian war, it's that the ukrainians have successfully pushed back against a much larger and a notionally at least pre-war, far more sophisticated military with remarkable innovation, and i think our sclerotic acquisition and our research and development testing and evaluation system could learn a lot from that. so innovation and cycle time. second, is making sure that the money we're spending, which is massive and is about to get significantly larger, is being spent wisel

the other thing, i freshly graduated from the dod information school. learning communications and crisis management. luckily, i have a great brief with the previous secretary, kim, she is in the audience today. she set up a cybersecurity team. she told me i had to deal with misinformation and disinformation but the office did not have the resources. going into my ministration, one thing i had to do was update the crisis plan due to the existing threats, try to bring in some element to combat disinformation and have a better way of getting the word out, and having a crisis plan. if you don't have a crisis plan, you need to get one. make sure you have communications. when you have a crisis, it is not just notifying the governor, the ag, law enforcement. also notifying the committee chairs that oversee your office and the ranking members. we do that all the time. that's part of the plan. if it is election season, we will notify both party chair's. talk to both chairs at the same time. don't talk to them separately. bad things can happen if you do that. als

democrat administration from saying, you know what, i've decided that i'm going to just eliminate some dod or i'm going to eliminate customs and border patrol. so i think it ultimately needs to be legislated. and we're about a week away, march 14th from a government shutdown. and when that happens, republicans need democrat votes. and democrats are going to say, we're going to refund all these programs. dodge alleges there's $65 billion in cuts. they're going to fully fund all those programs. so what's president trump going to do roughly ten days from now? is he going to veto that when he's basically already signaled he wants a cr to fund government through the end of the year? that would basically fund all these programs that doge has alleged. it's cut. >> so, mark, you know, when you see what happens to different town halls where members of congress and senators are indeed facing some criticism, do you think that that is something that will continue and that will actually have an impact? >> yeah, i do, i think the reality is that i remember being a hill staffer in roughly 2009, 2010, and

uh, and then, you know, the big changes that he's going to do at, uh, at dod, uh, with our new secretary of defense. and how are we going to be spending our money much more wisely, uh, efficiently and quicker, so that we can get our defenses up to where they should be? because we do have a a pacing threat in, uh, in communist china. >> all right. congressman carlos gimenez, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> the $64,000 question, how can democrats effectively counter president trump? tuesday night presents a new opportunity. >> for. >> when it comes to rooting out corruption. >> do the. >> fbi's ends. >> justify the means? >> it was humiliating. it's an embarrassment. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper next sunday at nine on cnn. >> had it with your old. >> phone. >> ready to be done with it. we've got you the verizon trade in any phone, any condition for the new iphone? get iphone 16 pro with apple intelligence on us on any plan. now with emoji, and get ipad and apple watch series ten. all three on us. that's up to $2,000 in value only on verizon. >> li

and the reason this stood out to me, because it kind of dripped in these headlines saying, oh, dod hegseth is saying, you have to respond. last week, they were told not to respond, and the department chief's trump appointees were silent on the issue, almost seeming like they were taking him on quietly, hoping this would go away. but now they're not. now they're in line. it's formal. you have to respond to this email. what does that tell you about musk's influence over everybody else in the trump cabinet? >> well, it wasn't at the white house last night. i mean, you saw him going in. he has obviously the closest relationship to the president. so, you know, that's that cabinet meeting was like it was it was like stalin s, you know, in the way it was conducted. we all like him, don't we? we all like him. i mean, that's not a way to conduct a a really critical assessment of how to reform the federal government, which is critical for our country at the very heart. there's a single truth that we do need to figure out a way to bring down our deficits. and doing it this way is comical. it's a circ

we talked also about some of the problemsre nasa has, dod also hs weather submarine or someone else. if we could aggregate some of those problems industry can have more confidence that can invest and solve some of the problems. >> some of the issues that effectively it's a finite amount of these activities. they are trying to do something new there companies trying to build things it on the commercial application. higher capacityu workforce building ships, building complex sophisticated satellites on the cap x requirements there. one or two or three customers if something changes and whatnot that company is going to be in a world of hurt. it's really interesting to think about. i think nasa subproblems are not that dissimilar from a larger weapons programs. how do we aggregate those problems and needs the industry can then go and address and have more confidence. hopefully it's on scale for the whole government that each of the stakeholders gets more value from. >> own to your perspective on the hill. what are you hearing? how was the issue talked about? moon to, mars. i like that, t

interested in cyber operations against russia, which also includes cyber espionage, which is a way for the dod to get a real sense of what of russia's designs are with respect to ukraine and much else. i mean, need i remind people that the largest cyber attack in history in human history was waged by russian military intelligence using a piece of malware called not petya. it cost the united states and other global traders billions of dollars. it affected everything from pennsylvania hospitals, which lost their medical records for a time. i mean, this is not a country that that you want to turn a blind eye to or lower your guard on. and yet, donald trump seems incredibly interested in doing just that. >> so if we're talking about a new thing entirely here, because it's clear donald trump is not a reliable ally for ukraine or for europe, does europe have the ability to go it alone? the standard answer has been no, at least not yet. not now. but is that how russia sees europe? is that how russia sees an alliance with germany? you know, uk and france or poland standing up to russia, if they're the

there is just too much here because you also noted that dod has major problems as well -- major problems as well. so i introduced, once again, the audit the pentagon act which aims to increase transparency and accountability in the defense budget and imposing financial consequences because have they ever had a clean bill of health on an audit? >> not for the overall department. there are some components and i am very pleased, last two years, the marine corps has got an unmodified, clean opinion. the other services, not so much yet. i noted that secretary hegseth has made this a priority. i'm going to be communicating with him, meeting with him to say if you want to do this, here are the things i need to be done in order to achieve an unmodified opinion from the whole apartment. >> i'm sorry we are out of time. i would like to hear your remedies but i have to yield back. >> thank you. >> i will now recognize miss stansberry for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. thank you for your soon-to-be retirement. thank you for your service to our country. i wanted to just take a couple of min
