. >> secretary mavis, would you agree with that? >> yes it would be better to be in base. >> secretary james would you agree with that? >> yes. >> does anyone have an idea how much worse our national security would be? >> the worst is if we don't get this fixed through some mechanism. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary mavis i was happily surprised to see you devote so much time to power and energy initiatives in your written testimony. your comment about fuel being used as a weapon particularly struck out to me, i felt that there's a strategic imperative to energy use in the department of defense. in 2003 and 2007, dod put out numbers that said 80% of all supply trucks on the road in iraq and afghanistan -- over 3,000 americans troops and contractors were killed in fuel supply convoys. every time we talk about energy initiatives, what gets lost in a conversation are the national security implications of what you and other services are trying to do. it's not just about going green or trying to achieve some larger en

secretary mavis, i want to, again, acknowledge the fact that your testimony on page 16 points out that during your tenure, the ship building trajectory is on a upward angle contrary to some of the noise that is out there and also we want to make sure to note that you're doing this with every public forum. compared to 2009, we have turned the direction in terms of military ship building under your leadership. it will have a benefit for decades to come. the question of the day is sequestration and budget controlled caps is a better way to make sure people understand this. and if you could just briefly talk about if the department is left with the bca caps, what does that mean in terms of trying to grow the size of the fleet? >> thank you, congressman. if we go back to bca, the sequester, however you want to phrase it, i have said that i'm going do protect ship building as much as humanly possible. my phrase i used that apparently nobody outside mississippi understand understands me we will protect ship building until the last dog dies. if we do that something else is going to break. beca

when laumpb mavis would get in on the three-point fun.ises to the state title, 53-31 the final. the question is could the boys make it a d 2 sweep? la mira da hopes not. la mira da down two. jasmine murphy does it all. takes it the length of the court. ties the game at 13. the final five seconds, sebastian for the tie. oh, yes. still tied with five seconds left in overtime. and midi again with the ball. to monroe. called for the travel. la mirada pulled this out in double overtime 71-70. march madness continuing today, as well. wisconsin knocked off arizona just a short while ago. kentucky and notre dame a team of lot of folks picked to upset the wildcats in the tourney. back in ohio the wildcats clinging to a two-point lead. >> kate are you sure all those folks from midi are in high school? >> they're looking older and older by the minute. i tell you. >> they looked great. >> we'll be right back. >> one last check with rob. >> breezy evening. still warm inland with temperatures out towards livermore in the mid-70s right now. another day

my first question is for secretary mccue, secretary mavis, and secretary james. one of my priorities is knowing that should we engage in current or future military conflicts our service members go into the fight with confidence that our country will take care of then when they return home. in 2007, the commission recommended the establishment of recovery care coordinators. at both d.o.d. and the v.a. to care for wounded warriors. if, god forbid service members should become injured or ill serving our country i want to make sure they will do everything in our power to get them the care they need when they get home. so i would like to learn what are your service branchs doing to ensure from active service to the v.a. for our most wounded, injured, and ill service members. and what can we do to make sure we identify every member that qualifies for the federal recovery care. and i have one more question following this one, i appreciate your answers. >>> if i may start, it is a critically important question, and one that i try to at least elude to in my opening commen

and that is just a fact of life if we're going to have an ohio class replacement and if secretary mavis and admiral greenert said it is the highest priority, it is something we have to do, and we have to find room in the budget and there will be tradeoffs there that will not get alleviated by calling it this or that. >> and i firmly believe that the triad, all three legs which is long range bomber and the ohio submarine are necessary to make our deterrence credible and survivable. and because it is an unfortunate happenstance of time, the triad are requiring modernance over the next decade, this is our strategic responsibility and we'll have to find a way to do it. >> no quarrel with your argument, but when you look at the legs it is a funny looking stool because one of them is a lot longer than the other, if you look at them. and as long as i have a few seconds left, admiral, the first time i met you when in iraq when you were in charge of training the iraqi forces and you are passionate about training them. and we had a troop leave out of hartford, and the expectation was that the res

we had an initial, early report in fact there mavis a computer coded message, via the transponder of distress call, but that turns out to not be the case. it appears there was literally radio silence from this plane all the way down until it hit the mountain. that would therefore suggest to some investigators and some pilots that the crew simply was either so busy dealing with whatever emergency was on their hands that they couldn't talk on the microphone, or they were incapacitated, maybe due to hypoxia or a smoke event? if it was hypoxia, if they had a decompression event and they realized it at 38,000 feet, the normal course of action is don your oxygen masks immediately, telling the people in the badge, your passengers to get the masks on, and you drop down to 10,000 feet and level off, because people can breathe the air at 10,000 feet. why did that not happen? why did they continue to descend? was it because, if they realized they had an emergency, they were already hypoxic? in other words, not able to think clearly. hypoxia sets in very quickly, at first you don't make rational

and that is just a fact of life if we're going to have an ohio class replacement and if secretary mavis and admiral greenert said it is the highest priority, it is something we have to do and we have to find room in the budget and there will be tradeoffs there that will not get aleveleviated by calling it this or that. >> and i firmly believe that the triad, all three legs which is long range bomber and the ohio submarine are necessary to make our deterrence credible and survivable. and because it is an unfortunate happenstance of time, the triad are requiring modernance over the next decade, this is our strategic responsibility and we'll have to find a way to do it. >> no quarrel with your argument, but when you look at the legs it is a funny looking stool because one of them is a lot longer than the other, if you look at them. and as long as i have a few seconds left admiral the first time i met you when in iraq when you were in charge of training the iraqi forces and you are passionate about training them. and we had a troop leave out of hartford, and the expectation was that the res

you mavie to hang on to it for a few more days. >> wintry mix somewhere. >> yeah, it's not going to bet we do have that s word the snow word in that seven day forecast. believe it or not on the day that spring arrives. so wild weather buckle up get ready as we take a look at those weather headlines tomorrow temperatures will actually top out in the low 60s. but then a blustery front will move through and that will mean colder conditions by the middle of the week feeling more like winter. the windshield factor will be an issue and, yes spring rain and snow as we move toward friday. but look at ultimate doppler right now. it's dry and quiet. we're looking at some rainfall far north and west. you have to head all the way to the up of michigan this is the front that will be moving through during the day tomorrow to bring a few spotty showers mainly north and west. but look at the temperatures by 10:00 o'clock tonight. upper 40s in philadelphia. so not as cold tonight as it was this morning when you woke up. by 6:00 a.m. we're looking at some of that green showing up toward the pocono mount

we'll check it out with doctor jerry >> ask the vet, doctor jerry give inch, mace mavis paw's 2900 grayse and your questions. >> a lot of people say my pets are inside, they don't need rabies, or other vaccines. you say that's rad i can us? >> i think it is very intense and sometimes people call me up and i get a phonecall saying i just found my cat in the house caring a dead bat around in its mouth. so we do know that bats can carry rabies. i know the incidents is very low but not zero. so for peace of minds i would never keep a pet in the households that wasn't vaccinated against rabies. for dogs, cats, a lot of the upper respiratory disease also trans miserable airborne. so these are things that they can get even if they don't even go out to go to the bathroom. they get it just sitting in housement. >> some of what,. >> kennel cough rhino trachea -- there is whole slew of what we would call cold virus that is these pets can get that are airborne. >> catwalks by the open window outside that somebody's scat not vaccinated it can walk into your house and your cat could get it even though

secretary mavis you and i have been friends for a long time. remarkable testimony actually. very profound statement that you had which of course you have to abridge during your oral remarks. you mentioned what thomas paine said about the cause of america in great measure the cause of all mankind. i almost want to substitute the word cost their. it seems that it falls on the united states of america. you also correctly say for seven decades the united states navy and marine corps have been the primary protector of this international system. we are doing it for everybody else. there's a sound basis in this proposition that prosperity is directly linked to the united states navy. thank you to our military into her navy. we have kept the sea lanes open you say. we have kept freedom of navigation anybody engaged in peaceful and legitimate trade. as the president said we have been anchor global security. this is for you but also for our friends internationally listening to this. we are going to have to insist on more of a contribution from our international partners. we keep the l

again to the strategic aspects of this as secretary mavis said this is a matter of esb environment but it's also saving dollars and i would be happy to provide you additional information on how we have done that back home. >> i would appreciate that. thank you mr. chairman. >> mr. nguyan. >> thank you mr. chairman i appreciate this panel being here today. it's always good to see all of you. appreciate your service but this question is directed to secretary james. it's in reference to the champ system. come restricted air force to develop the champ system on a cruise missile on the fy14 and added $10 million to the fy16 on the misappropriations to build the system. the capability of cocom has asked for, as this committee for and right now it is a cost-effective way and you talk about affordability obviously and we are looking to save money in areas where we can but it's very cost-effective for us than then very expensive for adversaries to try to defeat. america is leading the world in technology at the moment but nations are catching up at a time when we really don't need that and we c

my understanding is opening statements are just provided by the service secretaries, so secretary mavis. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ranking member sanchez and members of the committee thank you so much for this opportunity to discuss the department of the navy. with the chief naval operations john greenert and joe dunford, i have the privilege of representing the sailors and the marines and those that support them. and though greenert could not be here due to a death in his family but i'm joined by admiral michelle howard. uniquely, the navy and marine corp provide presence around the globe, around the clock. the nation's first line of defense. presence means we respond faster, we remain on station longer, we carry everything we need with us and we do whatever missions are assigned by our nation's leaders without needing anyone else's permission. we've always known america's success depends on exceptional navy and marine corp. article one of our constitution which you coated, mr. chairman and enshrined in this committee room authorizes congress to raise an army when needed but directs

host: mavis in fort lauderdale. we are on open owns. what are your thoughts?aller: i am calling in reference to benjamin netanyahu's picking. it is amazing to me that republicans can be so happy with what happened yesterday. when you look at netanyahu, he was the same guy who came to congress in 2002. where did that lead us? the iraq war. he wants american kids to fight the war. there is nobody from israel right now fighting against isis. if anybody needs to go it is the americans. the republicans a show to such industries and divided this country. i feel so inclined to think about the israeli will, it is beginning to bring separation. it does not matter about the government. the government is the people. host: kathryn in baltimore. democratic caller. what are your thoughts? caller: i would hope america would understand that we only the president because he is supposed to represent all the. -- all the people. it is better for us to work together than be separated. we must take into consideration all of the will. no one loves israel more than america does. i am

mavis staples. >> thank you so much. >> bye. >>> oh okay. fantastic.at more. and douglas, actually i think we are going to be talking with you again. much more straight ahead. again, the president, marine one, making his way, along with the first family to selma, alabama. we'll have much, much more of our live coverage right after this. doug. you've been staring at that for awhile, huh? listen, td ameritrade has former floor traders to help walk you through that complex trade. so you'll be confident enough to do what you want. i'll pull up their number. blammo. let's get those guys on the horn. oooo looks like it is time to upgrade your phone, douglass. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse? when it comes to

and as secretary mavis just very accurately noted that for all services, especially the army, the research and develop so critical to develop the weapons, systems, protection programs, that has been cut since 2012 by a third, overall, we're fencing off s & t because we feel that's the core of tomorrow's technology. our ability to look into the future and ensure that over ten years that generally takes to develop some of these next generation platforms we have it available. and with this funding level, we will not. the army will not have a major developmental major modernization program until the next decade. so sequestration only makes that worse. >> congressman we have wrote the blueprint for how to build the world's largest air force. we have other countries who have seen it. and the capability gap is clearly closing, no question about that. and the trick over time is how you manage that gap. i use a nascar analogy a lot when i talk to airman. if the car trailing you has been behind a couple of laps but consistently slowing, eventually they will get to a point although they are still beh
