that's what they are call it what you will they are effective according to the gao after the outdated fencing was replaced by this particular steel structur structure, the border patrol reported a significant drop of violent encounters and border patrol is just giving us the facts. during the years leading up to the construction 376 assaults on border agents were recorded at the- station in the two years after the fence went up the number of assaults fell at 71376 down a third one - - 71 that is the decline of 81 percent. with a wall or fence or whatever you choose to call it. we have seen big success in other sectors as well the trump administration and for other sectors where physical barriers were recently built or upgraded illegal traffic was stopped by 90 percent. 90 percent. so madam president, it is a fact physical barriers are effective as democratic senators understand well when there is a different occupant in the white house and indeed you say they are an essential ingredient in the balanceas security but that was then and this is now. so why is the tale of two completely d

gao looked at its last summer and said they could find no matrix as to what they would do if they had this money so while i have voted historically for protecting the border, democrats historically have supported it, but we have tried technology, tried to add additional employees on the system so that we could work with them that. -- work with that. we identified assets that could be moved and various points along the border that would be helpful for protecting the border. what the president has tried to nationalehow create a crisis in a situation where the statistics don't bear it out. >> so the president, particularly the white house, vice president pence says the president is willing to accept the restrictions in the senate bill right now and last year's senate appropriations law saying only existing fence types, what was built at the end of the bush administration and obama administration, they would use those fence types rather than a concrete wall. given that, why is that not good enough to go forward in building as long as he is no longer talking about the concrete wall? he is

in october, a gao report found a, quote, nearly all of our new weapons systems under development are vulnerable to cyber attack. now, earlier this year, we successfully included language in the ndaa requiring cybecyber nul cyber vulnerability assessments which hopefully will correct this problem, and the pentagon has recently taken steps to make cybersecurity a greater priority within the dod, but frankly, we face serious workforce challenges as well in recruiting and retaining top cyber professionals in the government when they have such attractive offers in the private sector. now, this is a good segue to my fourth recommendation. realigning some of our defense spending priorities. the united states military budget, and i'm proud to say i'm as pro-defense as anyone, recently was passed at $716 billion. remarkable thing is, when you look at russia, its budget military wise is about $70 billion. the truth is, the united states is spending most of its money on conventional weapons and personnel. by contrast, russia devotes a much greater portion of that much smaller budget to cyber an

>> well, the first thing, and the gao does emphasize this, we don't actually really know at a national level because the federal government has never collected data on this in any systematic way. in fact, colleges and universities are also not required to collect data on this. so what we really know comes from surveys that we've done. one college at a time across the country. and myself and my team as well as other researchers around the country have amassed a large number of colleges over time in most states where we have done these surveys and the results seem to suggest that around 40 to maybe even 50% of the nation's college students are enduring food insecurity while they're in school. >> our general definition of who is a college student in america seems to be completely different, at least our perception of it versus what the reality is. >> there is a big disjuncture. we continue to think of college students as young people from reasonably wealthy families who value education and have sent their children off to college with savings in the bank, sent them to live in residence hal
