the secretary's maritime initiative at its core is intended to restore the confidence of maritime power in the nation for several reasons. the first reason, of course, is that our ability to build naval combatants and the numbers we need in the time frame we need and for the cost that the american taxpayer can afford requires a broader industrial base -- maritime industrial base to make that happen. as over the last 30 to 40 years as our maritime capacity has almost entirely disappeared, and china's has risen and we have traded places with them as far as global shipbuilding and the amount of flagships that we have, the cost and be difficulty in building naval combatants has gone in the opposite direction. so at its core the navy will benefit from a revival of a broader maritime industry in the nation and will simultaneously deliver the seals that we need. it's pretty apparent over the last 30, 40 years we've outsourced the transport of our economy. 99.6% of our imports and exports that go by sea, over 90% of our economy does go by sea are carried on non-u.s. flagships. the it's imperati

this cycle further destabilizes the domestic maritime industry. why did the coast guard -- >> sir, we are looking to get ahead of the curve. right now, we have the money we need based upon the progress we make. however, to your point, we have seen a lot of progress meet in just a short period because mississippi shipyard has been involved, engaged, and bringing in the right people to make this thing not just an idea but a way forward. we are looking forward to doing that. i think we will be requesting additional money for our ship, but i think that will come as we finalize arrangements and negotiate the final cost. >> very good. going back to the activity by our adversaries, i was encouraged on the very first page of your testimony you addressed the increased presence of the psc in russia including unilateral and combined military and coast guard activities we are seeing now in the u.s. arctic. can you please expand how the coast guard's arctic strategy and implementation addresses these concerns? >> congressman, first off, the increased presence

russia maritime boundary line and within the u.s. through this we protect our sovereign interests and we ensure that behaviors are keeping with international laws and norms. as this type of activity increases, our coast guard will ensure the international rules -based orders maintained in the sovereignty of the u.s. is protected. i personally traveled to alaska in early october. connecting with coast guard operational units. they are alarmed about russia and chinese activities in their backyard. growing risks to the maritime environment and the accidental threat that they view from climate change. coast guard units in the region perform exceptionally under some of the most austere operating conditions on planet earth. covering greater than the lower 48 combined. our units are facing readiness challenges that threaten our ability to continue to meet the growing demand for our services across the arctic. we are experiencing historic shortfalls in maintenance funding and shrinking military industrial space that impacts material readines

the, the south china sea is a crucial maritime trade route. there an oil and gas reserves below the c bad and rich fishing grounds and important food and income source for many people living around here. china refers to it as the self see, which is the basis for the english name use internationally. but for vietnam it's the e. c. and the philippines calls the waters close to the shores, the west philippine sea. so even the name of these waters is in dispute. of the, in recent years, china has managed to expand its dominance by occupying these features in the south china sea. let's zoom in on one example. missed you 3. it also have different names in the philippines, china and vietnam. but we will stick with the international names. actually, the philippines have special rights here under international law. that's because states are entitled to explored natural resources, like fisheries and oil within 200 nautical miles of their coastline. it's called their exclusive economic zone that china has its own interpretation. in the mid ninety's erect

president trump is trying to make us a maritime nation again.vely in the last year. what we need to do to make the u.s. navy great again. when you look at commercial shipping, for example, look at what has happened in the red sea with the houthis at least 25% of the trade that used to transit there has to be diverted to other ways. so it's putting pressure on places like the panama canal. so the only way for us to truly be a great nation to restore a maritime credibility both in commercial shipping and with the u.s. navy. so i think the president, the president-elect is highlighting something incredibly important and fundamental to our national security in both the artic and the maritime space at large. >> bret: yeah, and china is very active in panama. let me turn to capitol hill. >> exactly. >> bret: raised concerns about johnson. republicans had spoken to the president-elect in the weeks before the shutdown showdown airing grievances and raising reservations about johnson's handling of layer isous issues and his management of the house g.o.p.
