the maritime interdiction is down a little bit. we are picking up haitians and there are a lot of different things happening with gps and things. we will constantly be looking to right size that. you turn up in one area and you have to do it with a fiscally constrained timeline. >> russia and china are asserting serenity over international waters such as the sea of -- i don't know -- thank you. and the south china sea. if they are allowed to get away with that, in those places, will they be allowed to be emboldened to do the same in the arctic? >> you heard me mention one of the things we do -- it is a little bit humorous to say we are the world's best coast guard but we are recognized as a model for the world's coast guard. one of the things we support is free and open communications on the seas and seeing lines of communication. we advocate for free and open and a pacific region and when we see the chinese coast guard as the aggressive arm of the chinese government, that is troubling. that is not the model that we embrace. territ

coast guard advanced interdiction team. these agnostic to what tv picks there are all equally capable high and response capabilities. at the same time we work extremely well with our virginia department of homeland security partners. 22 agency strong, strong, 15 have years. i am seeing, on the plank on wh department of homeland security like most of my flag collects everything was trying to really see that see the attraction, starting see that interplay of the components working together, unlike before. that's exciting because i really think that's the place we want to fund the coast guard with her own department. and the next slide if i could, this is a context which i recently rolled out the coast guard strategic plan. it's not the combatants cheaply. it's a coast guards for the next four years nursing leadership team authors are listed set a got a brain around what we saw the environment to look like and how we go to press the single because states coast guard. i'm biased but i may say the world's best coast guard into t

is working in a proactive way with those pain management techniques with some law enforcement interdiction that will be a significant increase i was at a remarkable treatment program that the sheriff that was tired of the opioid death he said after do something about it so he started a novel treatment program based on the recovery home model that you are familiar with but those that were in this program why did i have to get arrested to get a program like this? and that is through challenging and a question like that. >> where it is the biggest risk quick. >> i think the biggest risk right now is administration sabotage. >> so what they are doing right now using bad experimental pilot that component of obama care with prescription drugs that is a sharp idea with shrinking enrollment periods to reduce assistance and getting rid of the individual mandates and trump said i could not kill this by vote don't worry i do it anyway he bragged about that and that was on fox but when you counter that with the voters in idaho in nebraska on the referendum with the republican houses in virginia expand

coalition country partners and we have a high end team of a dozen or so what we call advanced interdiction team. so the commander has to do the high end response operation, the s.e.a.l.s, expeditionary marines, coast guard. he's agnostic so what team he picks, they are all equally capable high end response capabilities. at the same time, we work extremely well with our burgeoning department of homeland security partners. we are 22 agencies strong, 15 1/2 years. i'm a plank owner with the department of homeland security like most of my flag colleagues. i think we are starting to really see that traction, starting to see that interplay of the m could opponecomponents together like never before. that's exciting to me. i really think that's the place we want to find the coast guard, with our own department. then next, this is the context which i recently rolled out the coast guard strategic plans. it's the coast guard strategic plan for the next four years. our senior leadership team, officer enlisted, sat down and really got our brain around what we saw the environment to look like and how we

to interdict these shipments? mr. mcaleenan: thank you. i thank senator portman, senator klobuchar, has been beneficial. our relationship with the postal service has deepened. i worked with megan brennan and the postmaster general. they're committed to advance electronic data coming from china and other countries in the effort to counter fentanyl shipments. we've mad great progress. i mentioned some of those quickly in response to senator durbin's questions. our targeting based on that advanced electronic data has increased features at j.f.k., international mail facility. we've been able to working with i.c.e., h. simplet, as well as the u.s. postal inspection service, to follow those procedures through to the u.s., everywhere from manhattan to washington state to take down not just the individual shipment which can be a 25 gram vial but also the entire network that's producing the drugs. senator klobuchar: ok. very good. i have a northern border question about an area in minnesota that's kind of off the beaten track to try to do their bes

some law enforcement and interdiction with the fentanyl problem. a significant increase in treatment availability. i was a remarkable treatment program in the chesterfield county jail. the sheriff was tired of of related deaths. he was not trained and had the money but had to do something about it. he started a novel treatment program based on a recovery model. , the 70ent and visited men on one side and 60 men, they said, why did i have to get arrested to get a program like this? there's something kind of sad, true, challenging in a question like that. what is the biggest risk to the affordable care act? >> i think the biggest risk right now is administration sabotage. >> what form would that take? >> it is taking place. zarant to give secretary a credit. what they are doing right now, using obamacare and the program, goodilot on him. we will test it to see if it works. things like shrinking enrollment, reducing navigators. getting rid of the individual mandate. trump at a rally's said i could not kill this by vote, but don't worry. i'm killing it

where that ship writer, we approached the flag state of china and interdicted that ship. turned it over for prosecution. so we have normal relationships on fronts here with china. the behaviors in the south china sea, i can't tell you their coast guard's actions or anything we support. when i us lock at the russians up in alaska, our district commander up there works with the russians pragmatically on the violences. cooperate where you can. we do that. china being up in the arctic here every year since 2016, 9 of the last 10 or 12 years it's interesting. it's interesting to see what their interests are up there. they declared themselves a state that's building a heavy ice breaker. i i think we have to watch those behaviors. >> how do you see them -- this might be an example of what i'm about to ask you. how do you see the government or maybe coast guards pushing the limits of our agreements in those territorial waters? >> in terms of i mentioned potentially coast guard national security operating in the region, i think once we send a ship in response of what we call a req

with the interdict act, with the s.t.o.p. act, we appreciate very much the support of congress on this mission. we've had additional investments in our ability to detect fentanyl, in our ability to test for it. we have asked for additional nonintrusive inspection. >> $44 million. this president's asking for $5 billion for a wall which a ladder or a tunnel can overcome. and yet we have deadly fentanyl coming in for the worst drug epidemic in our history. where is the passion for this? i think that would be something that would be the first request of your agency when it comes to protecting america. >> i can promise you the passion and commitment here and with my men and women in the field is absolute for our counternarcotics mission. >> the budget request doesn't reflect that passion whatsoever. it's all about the law. >> senator, we did provide technical assistance to the appropriations committees and the house and the senate on increasing the amount of nonintrusive inspection to include the drive through systems that we talk

cbp is intended to be security interdiction a very short term custody before transfer. start that dhs level. >> and working with the office to make the hiring process more. rapid with the agents on the border so appreciate the work of your office on that. i'm going to go vote then senator feinstein will call. >> there is a new story a few months ago that was very troubling t life expectancy in the united states. it is going down. the reason is the drug epidemic to take tens of thousands of lives in cities and small towns and one of the drivers this was the cause of two thirds two thirds of opioid deaths but the source of the most illicit fentanyl and that is part of your responsibility also shipped from china to mexico at illegal ports of entry. and they should be focused and i want to ask you this wire refocusing on building a 5 billion-dollar wall when your resources and technology by your own admission is not up to the task to stop the flow of fentanyl into the united states quick. >> i will give you a couple of things to point to. the portal technology and how good

the ability to detect and interdict the border crossings has never been higher. we are putting initial investments in the border wall system to good use and have already built critical sections in the key border areas where it's made an immediate impact. we turned around at the hiring and ended the last fiscal year with almost 500 more officers and agents and we maintained the most capable marine operations in the world and are accelerating the development and deployment of cutting-edge technology in the workforce and have extended our shared a zonef securities to enhance international partnerships and capacity building throughout the hemisphere and beyond. that is not to say we do not face challenges in the border security mission. clearly the increased smuggling of other synthetic opioids along with growing rates of methamphetamine that are devastating communities across the united states remains a critical focus and at the border we face changing trends in illegal crossings that impact security, exploits the walls and challenge resources and personnel. it took

the reports showed large amounts of cash continue to be interdicted among major corridors where it is typically concealed and hidden in the vehicle compartment among legitimate cargo. again there would be strong bipartisan support in congress for more resources for outbound inspections if only the administration put as much priority on this effort as they do on a wall. there is more congress can do in 2013 when the democrats controlled the senate we passed bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. do you know how much was included in the border security funding? $40 billion in over 60 senators voted for it. no lack of will when it comes to border security. security. but republican leaders of the house refused even consider the bill. earlier this year we tried again after we got the report from mr.

we need to do a better job of interdicting these flows, the cash and the narcotics. that is a thing we should be focused on. host: congressman keith rothfus. announcer: "washington journal" continues. california democratic irishman john garamendi joining us come on a day that congress is set to vote on a two-week funding extension that we keep the government open through december 21. you have been through these funding fights before. where does this end? guest: it will end in a positive way. there is no appetite i can feel in congress for a government shutdown. it would take i think a president who simply refuses to other than his $5 billion for a wall. that being the case, we will see what happens. there is no appetite for it. guest: is there any appetite on the democratic side of the aisle to meet the president halfway? guest: there is always a deal to be done. the deal in your mind? guest: about $1.6 billion, which is what is being offered. and it is for better security. goingor by mexico is not to happen. certainly mexico is not going to pay for it. what is a wal

customs and border protection records of apprehensions and interdictions at our southern border are literally, mr. president, staggering. staggering. members, a 50% increase over last year. nearly 7000 individuals with criminal histories including weapons trafficking and violent offenses. double the levels of fentanyl along with other illicit substances. the report card is clear america's borders are in crisis. these facts i have stated are not partisan facts. they aren't ideological. they are just fact. they don't describe the republican party's version of events or the presidents. or the version of events. they describe reality. think that securing our homeland and controlling our borders and protecting the american people would be a bipartisan priority. uncontroversial. common sense, bipartisan priorities. a core duty of any nation's government. here is the interesting thing. recently that seems to be the case. back in 2006 democrats were perfectly happy to support hundreds of miles of physical barriers along the border. 26 democrats voted for the bill including then senator obama and my f

front and with the paradigm we have to have awareness who was crossing the border and the ability to interdict and apprehend granted many were not trying to evade arrest they are giving themselves a soon as they cross the border but to know how to respond effectively no matter what. what is different that they were built to house single adults exclusively male many of whom were criminals. so now we have those facilities encountering a population 60 percent families and children. that has to adjust either in terms of statutory structure to invite that or the resources we have. that is a fundamental change we have to see. the other aspect to highlight there is a legitimate concern how we process asylum-seekers at lawful points of entry. right now our ability to do that is overwhelmed by a huge number of people who don't actually have legitimate asylum claims. how do we balance that to get the right structure that allows us to focus on those people that are actually worthy of protection? that is another challenge our system is not structured for to have huge arrivals turned over to ice and then w

a small number of patrol vessels but, within the force itself, there is not a huge capability to interdictf, for more resources — if i was commanding this situation — to other agencies such as the coast guard, the police, potentially even defence. the government says deployments are under constant review, but it's concerned that increasing patrols could encourage more migrants to try to reach the uk from france. 23 migrants reached kent on thursday. that's in addition to a0 on christmas day. in total, at least 209 have arrived in small boats since november. the mild weather is one of the potential reasons for the surge in arrivals. another possible reason is brexit, with people smugglers understood to be telling migrants that borders will become more difficult to cross when britain leaves the eu. well, really, what we need to do is to stop people making these journeys in the first place. so, more patrol boats is part of the answer, but it's also having the resources on the ground we need, working in partnership with the french to identify the gangs, to stop them making the crossings in the

within the force itself, there is not a huge capability to interdict on the enlist channel.g at myself for more resources, if i was commander in this situation, to other agencies such as the coast guard, the police, potentially defence. also, ithink guard, the police, potentially defence. also, i think we need to work very closely with our collea g u es work very closely with our colleagues in france, the french law enforcement agencies, to try to stop the problem at source. as the national crime agency has said, some are opportunistic, others are organised and that requires an international response. i hope that we will be working very closely on the other side of the channel as well to stop this. watch should the policy be? —— what should the policy be? we were hearing concerns that if there are more boats that bring these migrants assure, where they can claim asylum, it would encourage others to follow suit. you clearly have people at risk in these small votes, that cannot be left in the enlist channel. but it is very difficult to return them to france? yes, it is. you ar

we have to use our brains in terms of interdicting those who supply drugs to our country. u nose in prison because of this, many of them languish for decades in prison for a drug offense that doesn't involve violence or firearms. these are people who deserve a second chance, if they're willing to work for it. we put those two kons accepts together. the brand new approach to dealing with narcotics in this country and a new approach, when it came to dealing with prisoners 0 in our country. it's a breakthrough. the fact we have 87 votes. tim scott, thank you for joining us on the republican side. you're a valuable ally. we're not finished. it's entitled the first step. what is the second step? the second step is to learn from this experience and to find a way to reduce incarceration while still reducing the crime rate in america. states are proving to us this can happen. now it's time for us at the federal level to do just the same. >> i remembered glenn bias and watching him play for the university of maryland and thinking at the time this is someone we'll see playing basket

it's too early to tell if and how a lot of cooperation on poppy eradication interdiction operation inhe fight against cartels will continue under amlo. regarding the central american mac migration crisis, we're trying to address the american crisis at the border and are considering requiring asylum-seekers to stay mexico as they get processed through the use court system in the last 24 hours mexico has publicized a plan to create a marshall plan that would extend about $3 billion over the next five years in order to consummate the assistance to the u.s. and other countries are granting to the northern triangle and great looking for to hearing more details about what that would consist up to do with the root causes of the migration. the two countries must work together to protect our country from drugs arms, human trafficking, corruption could when anyone mexico in the us share interest is with regard to fighting corruption and money laundering that empower these cartels. the national plan includes a proposed prevent and combat money-laundering associate with crime and corruption. it e

it is really important week interdict the traffickers. not just taking intelligence that indicates people are notjust taking a small inflata ble are notjust taking a small inflatable across the entire 30 mile straight of the incas channel, predict we not in winter. there's a level of leaf beer being dropped off, just a mile of two of the coast and the dead of night so for patrol craft to pick up that particular issue, i think is worthwhile because you can then capture people who are behind this trafficking. how many would like to see in operation on the channel? have you got a number mind? i think it is clear that one is simply not enough. we need to ask questions. what are the two patrol craft doing in the mediterranean, would be be better placed in the interest channel? i have also agreed to meet the immigration minister to talk about whether we are getting the balance right and how the corporation is working between the united kingdom and the french authorities which is the most important thing to put a stop to this. the best thing to

how will it interdict illegal crossings on the border?we know that we have an insufficient ports of entry, we also know that the coast guard interdict 10 times the amount of drugs as does the border patrol on the mexican border. let's spend the money wisely. after all, it is a large amount of money. $5 billion, taxpayer money or it is borrowed one way or the other. and we need, i need, before i approve anything i want to know where it will be spent, for what purpose and what the benefit of it will be. leland: will quickly congress men will have about 30 seconds left. this is a different perspective than many in your party who said that there will be no wall. the president has to give up his idea of a wall if he is going to have a deal to reopen the government. nancy pelosi is taken a much harder line. have you heard that perhaps, once she become speaker in the new congress, more democrats would be willing to make a compromise that you just made? are you you an outlier in your party? >> well, i do not know if i am an outlier or not but i d

before care then we will have better outcomes but also one more economical approach to services and interdiction. >> and that is where together for good tries to think outside the box what is best for children in the context to be empowered to do well because it just changes the game of the ability so in our work the goal is the relationships that has been phenomenal drug and alcohol treatment twice so she voluntarily asks for help and they provide that hosting experience during treatment during that time where the child is committed and growing of professional supervision in that case and case management working with drug treatment and staff and over time trust is built to move forward once child protection is no longer in the case is closed and then it just takes longer yes it is a beautiful thing we are doing but that being said that cost to society. >> if i can just add, one of the things of the foster care system that likely outcome for a child is to be reunified with their parents and that reunification tends to happen within 11 months some happen within two months. these children are the

able to disregard the pope, to be able to say, "no, i don't care if you put my entire country under interdictunicated, "this makes no difference to me." essentially he stripped away the authority of the papacy and originally, at least, kept almost everything else, simply establishing a new church with a different head, and that authority was what he was most interested in, who was at the head of it. >> narrator: in the face of spiritual revolutionaries and power-hungry monarchs, the once-almighty pope sees the power of the office dwindle for the first time in nearly 800 years. by the milling of the 16th century, it looks as if the reign of the roman catholic church is finally coming to an end. your home improvement "to-do list" still isn't "to-done". but hey, at least you still have time to get the ford vehicle you've always wanted. just get to the final days of our holiday sales event. see you sometime between now and january 2nd. so you can end your year on a high note. ford. built for the holidays. it's time to get our best offers of the season. i've always been amazed and still going for

how will you use it to interdict -- >> you would be willing to go to $5 billion, if it's for border security and not the wall or not just the wall? >> it's not just the wall, it's what is going to be done with the $5 billion the president is demanding. if that money is to be spent wisely, you mentioned technology, we know that's a more valuable and better use than putting up a fence you can crawl under or go over, we know we need to fund the coast guard and we know we need better security at the ports of entry to check the various contraband we know is passing through those areas. these are things we do and border patrol agencies. one more thing this country desperately needs is a sense of humanity and understand we're housing thousands upon thousands of kids in crummy jails separated from their parents. this is wrong. we're here two days before christmas in a time we ought to be caring about each other. this nation is totally doing inhumane horrible things to children across our and various detention facilities. you want to spend some money, let's spend some money on processing so those chi

if you're concerned about drugs, you better furnished the coast guard, because the coast guard interdicts ten times the amount of drugs as do the border patrol agents on the mexican border. so this needs a comprehensive thing. i'm not going to give the president a billion or 2 billion or $5 billion slush fund until he tells us precisely where and how that money is going to be used. >> but in the most immediate, we're now three days into a shutdown. what is going to change, come thursday, when we all get back to town, something has to give. you've been through many a shutdown before. what's going to give this time? >> for me, mr. president, tell me where the plans are. you wouldn't put up a casino without construction plans. do you expect us to put up $5 billion without construction plans as to where the wall will be, what this spiked fence will be or whether it's just a cyclone fence? we need to know. we wouldn't give the military money for a garage unless they told us exactly how they would spend it. and we shouldn't let the president do that either. beyond that, we do need a comprehensi

the advent of voluntary regimes like what happened under bush 43, to interdict ships at sea that were suspected of carrying the farias stuff, no parliament would agree to that requirement but when you have a voluntary let's do it whenever we can, it became a competition that could do better and it was much better than treaty oriented would have worked. and take it where we can get it. >> >> i'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about peacekeeping forces, specifically of haiti and other stuff and the role of multilateralism, international institutions, improving the presence of these peacekeeping forces, making them iterative responsive and impunity. >> let me take one or two more questions because we are almost out of time. the woman in the second row here. just wait for the microphone please. >> you are doing an amazing job. i am from the molly republic of west africa and i know the big issue in malley right now, the united nations and international community as a whole have been working to bring back peace and security in the region. i wanted your perspective on how you think w

over the past year, customs and border protections' records of apprehensions and interdictions at our southern border are literally, mr. president, staggering, staggering. 800 known gang members, a 50% increase over last year. nearly 7,000 individuals with criminal histories including weapons trafficking and violent offenses. more than double, more than double the levels of fentanyl along with other illicit substances. so the report card is quite clear, america's borders are in crisis. these facts i've stated are not partisan facts. they aren't ideological. they're just facts, just facts. they don't describe the republican party's version of events or the president's version of events. they describe reality. so one would think that securing our homeland, controlling our borders and protecting the american people would be bipartisan priorities, uncontroversial, common sense, bipartisan priorities, a core duty of any nation's government. and here's the interesting thing, until very, very recently, mr. president, that seemed to be the case. back in 2006, democrats were perfectly happy to

we need a physical barrier that forces people to go to places we can interdict them and catch them. that is why this is so critical. shannon: democrats have voted for more than $5 billion for border security, a lot of people say it is a rounding error for the federal government. why the dig in over $5 billion? >> that $5 billion is dedicated for the purpose of a wall. let's talk about the right numbers, hash it out. i am a former small businessman. we shouldn't be shutting down the government, we should be negotiating, we should be talking right now. if donald trump is listening i hope he is reaching out to folks and talking to them about how we get past this shutdown now. >> the leaders are working in the white house to come up with something, the senate said they won't vote on anything, they don't know the president already agreed to, that is the deal they have reached. but compromisewise what to the two sides do to get to a solution? sounds like the white house is backing off of $5 billion but what would you agree to? >> senator schumer put forward a number the other day. just 3

air try to f the germans to take out as many planes on the don't typically we would call it more interdiction. they are trying to hit rail lines, supply depots, things like that, and it's pretty effective and it's one of the reasons why the offensive works it does. many planes on the ground as they can and that's pretty successful but then they are doing what they at the time talk about is strategic bombing. we at least they are trying to it's part of about sammy hill all day. >> but he's kindly watched me with all the other speakers so going to and we're going to go to our last question you, sir.y, thank >> do chopper pilots have the same culture? pilots, this is very interesting. and it's something i try to get of my longer works is how do the different types of flyers have different cultures? not looked athave rotary wing guys very closely so them t speak directly to but i can say that different types of pilots have very different cultures. very pilots have a different subculture than the ighter guys do, than the missile-eers do. there are psychological studies and after world war ii where

i asked him for that and suggested that they link the number of border crossings that would be interdictedain investments in wall and/or fence and/or whatever in different areas along the valley. i spent a lot of time in the valley. the valley and the whole rio grand border and the land border with arizona and new mexico is very complicated area. each area has much different characteristics. >> leland: by way of saying would it be better to figure out what to do in each one of those different areas you talk about and then how much it is going to cost and then go to congress with that or do the 5 billion upfront. >> i think it would give us a lot stronger position vis-a-vis the democrats to bombard the american people with real facts like that and make them realize the investment that they are paying for. >> leland: congressman francis reasony of florida. we will talk to you again soon, sir. >> thanks, leland. >> leland: all the best. happy new year. we'll be right back. after months of wearing only a tiger costume, we're finally going on the trip i've been promising. because with expedia,

we don't -- today we could call it more interdiction. they're trying to hit rail lines, supply depots, things like that. it's pretty effective and one of the reasons why the san miguel offensive works as well as it does. at least it's part of that. i could talk about san miguel all day. >> but he has watched me with all the other speakers, so he's got going to. we're going to go to our last question of the day. thank you, sir. >> do chopper pilots have the same culture? >> chopper pilots. this is very interesting. it's something i try to get at in some of my longer lectures. how do the different types of flyers have different cultures. i have not looked at rotary wing guys closely. i can't speak directly to them. i can say that different types of pilots have different cultures. bomber pilots have a different sub culture than the fighter guys do than the missileers do. there are studies done after world war ii. they found that almost all of this was true and some of it is self-selecting and some was a result of combat. but fighter pilots

it's too early to tell if and how the bilateral cooperation on the interdiction operations in fight against cartels will continue. regarding the central american crisis, the u.s. and mexico are trying to address the humanitarian crisis of the border and are considering asylum seekers to stay in mexico as they get processed through the court system. in the last 24 hours they've publicized the plan to create a marshall plan that would extend about $3 billion over the next five years to complement the assistance to the un and other countries granting to the northern triangle that we are looking forward to hearing more details about what that would consist of two deal with the causes of migration. they must work together to protect the countries from the drug arms money laundering and corruption. one area they share interests with regard to fighting corruption and money laundering that empower these cartels. the plan includes a proposal to combat money laundering associated with crime and corruption and estimates 20 to $30 billion a year to be recovered. on this front they should emphasize the

we don't typically we would call it more interdiction. they are trying to hit rail lines, supply depots, things like that, and it's pretty effective and it's one of the reasons why the offensive works as well as it does. at least it's part of that, i can talk about sammy hill all day. >> but he's kindly watched me with all the other speakers so he's not going to and we're going to go to our last question of the day, thank you, sir. >> do chopper pilots have the same culture? >> chopper pilots, this is very interesting. and it's something i try to get at in some of my longer works is how do the different types of flyers have different cultures? i personally have not looked at rotary wing guys very closely so i can't speak directly to them , but i can say that different types of pilots have very different cultures. bomber pilots have a very different subculture than the fighter guys do, than the missileers do. in fact, there are psychological studies during and after world war ii where the air force hired psychologists to come in and look a

could you talk about the whole issue of the same time the government is attempting to interdict and detain all of these migrants, there are resources available to even be able to communicate with those who are coming over is severely lacking. >> right. that is a legitimate challenge, to be able to deal effectively with language diversity. what we have seen a lot in our research, especially about the process of asylum-seekers, the border patrol purports to conduct very important interviews, like these health ,creenings or asylum screenings in spanish with people who do not speak that language will stop essentially, there is the regard for being able to communicate effectively with asylum-seekers. that is completely of a piece with what we understand is accepted practice in the agency, and it is usually problematic. amy: forget spanish for a minute. apparently, he was forced to sign on the border something verifying her health in english. >> correct. yeah. right. which is even that much farther afield from what is true communication. testimony that you mentioned that he did not comply with t

you know, there are things that can be done where there's additional funding for drug interdictions,0,000 americans this past year to drug overdoses. much of it is coming across the border from mexico. we know that southern command and northern command, i've served on the armed services committee, are desperately short of funds to stop the drugs coming in. and so maybe there could be an additional plus to work on stopping those drugs from coming in, on working at the border crossings where those drugs are coming in. but there won't be funding for the wall. >> very interesting. so you are serving in your last few days of congress right now. so is missouri senator claire mccaskill, who, like you, was defeated in november. she sat down with cnn's manu raju to talk about republicans you serve with and what they really think about the president. take a listen. >> now, they'll tell you, if it's just the two of you, you know, the guy is nuts. you know, he doesn't have a grasp of the issues, he doesn't -- he's making brash decisions, he's not listening to the people who know the subject matt

i think it's important to make sure we interdict the traffickers.t of intelligence that indicates that people aren'tjust taking a small inflatable across the entire 30 mile straight of the english channel, particularly not in winter. there is a level of belief that they're being dropped offjust a mile or two off the coast in dead of night. so patrol craft to pick up that particular issue i think is worthwhile because you can then catch the people who are behind this trafficking. so how many patrol craft would you like to see in operation along the channel, and have you got a number in mind? it's fairly clear that one is simply not enough in my opinion they need to ask, what are the patrol craft doing in the mediterranean? would they be better placed in the english channel? i'm hopefully going to meet the immigration minister to talk to her about whether we are getting the balance right and how the co—operation is working between the united kingdom and the french authorities, which is the most important thing. the best way to stop people making these

but but they are doing a strategic bombing and we would call it more in interdiction. they are trying to hit rail lines, supplied depots and things like that. and it's pretty effective and is one of the reasons why it works as well as it does. at least it's part of that. i can talk about sammy hill all day. >> i watched with all of the other speakers, and we are going to go to our last question of the day, thank you, sir. >> do chopper pilots have the same culture? >> this is very interesting. and it's something i try to get at and some of my longer works is how'd do different types of pilots have different cultures? i have not looked at rotary rings guy very closely so i can't speak directly to them. but i can say that different types of pilots have different cultures. bomber pilots have a very different subculture than the fighter guys do. then the missile ears do. and in fact there are psychological studies in during and after world war to win air force hired psychologist to look at fighter pilots versus bomber pilots and they found that almost all of this was true.
