national security has been heard today, it's very multifaceted, economic security is national security. and china's coming for our lunch in more than one way. i wanted to ask just a few questions and i won't -- i'll try not to ask questions that have already been asked but it's possible i might. but dr. baylis, when we talk about spectrum management and enhancing the ability of commercial and defense users to sort of co-exist in those share bands, what role and how far have we come and how far do we have to go for that to be really effective with a.i.? as these advancements proceed? dr. baylis: so it's interesting, a.i. can be used in multiple levels in the new spectrum sharing or the new adaptive and reconfigure paradigm. one level is to assess or predict the spectrum that's going to be available for our use and having this technology in the d.o.d. hands is very useful. the second is inside the devices themselves, to be able to optimize their performance. to make sure a radar transmitter can reconfigure its circuitry. we can use a.i. to help us reconfigure the circuits quickly and tak

beijing's national security law amounts to a state mandated espionage and south com has highlighted several security risks and posture statements to this very congress. radar and g.p.s. jamming, physical blockades. given the global reach of transnational criminal associations, there's emerging evidence chinese operated and owned ports could be catalyzers, with the t.r.c. routes and illicit markets given the p.r.c. alliance as a key operating principal. not all chinese ports are the same. china has hundreds of thousands of state owned enterprises and the ones that collaborate with the p.r.a. are mostly well known and many are in fact blacklisted our government. those s.o.e.'s should be the subject of extra focus and scrutiny. mr. chairman, in my remaining time i'd like to move some policy relations. first, i think we need to create a methodology for a spectrum of concern regarding chinese owned and operated ports. four criteria would be basic starting points for me. first, the location of the port, both in terms of the proximity to the u.s. homeland and its position vis-a-vis key maritime tr

explain the national security aspect of this? >> without the chips and semiconductors, nothing runs today. you cannot buy a car without them. you cannot get a radio or television. you cannot get anything. we thought it was very important businesswise and in terms of national security to have this large percentage of the chips and semiconductors and other things they make. not a product that you can really copy. it takes years and years. it is total genius. something the size of the point of a pen, they put information that is not even believable. >> honda announced they are coming to indiana. pres. trump: honda is coming. i told you about apple. they will start to build massively here. we have many companies that have already announced. it will be great. it is looking very strong. i don't think this country has ever seen anything like this. the terrorists -- tariffs will start earlier. reciprocal tariffs start on april 2. i wanted to make it april 1 but i did not want to make it april fools' day. that costs a lot of money. we are

our nation's data and security is at risk. before i urge my colleagues to support this bill and i will, i walked to the chamber moments ago and i saw a tweet or a post on x from south carolina attorney generalal january wilson said he is protecting south carolinians from sexual predators. protecting citizens has been my top priority, particularly my constituents whom i represent. i recently gave a speech on this floor where i detailed, i was very detailed about horrific abuses when you talk about vulnerabilities. i know about being vulnerable. when you talk about cybersecurity, i sit awake in my bed wondering if anyone has seen videos of me or any of the women or the tapes i outlined in my speech and my attorney general since i came alford my attorney general alan wilson and i'm sure they are going to though what you have did and what you have not done on vulnerabilities of my own constituents in south carolina because you have done nothing but attack me, a member of congress who did my duty to protect her constituents. i will

they're hurting real people and damaging our national security.ok at this chart, you look at all spending and the government. you want to look at four and eight of course usaid is a part of. it is less than 1% of our total budget. usaid spends around $40 billion per year. around $40 billion per year is the entire federal budget. meanwhile other parts of the budget including for example the defense department spent almost 16% of all federal spending in fiscal year 2025 about half of other discretionary spending in this chart. now, the department of defense is the only agency to never pass anse audit. usaid actually passes audits all the time. and yet, we are tracking the one agency that's able to pass an audit or would leave untouched the agency of course that cannot even pass an audit. the department of defense failed to account for 63% of its assets. trillions of dollars worth of equipment have not been properly document is not just their failure to pass an audit. i went to quickly ask about key programs o over budget and behid schedule. this of

also a matter of national security for us.will be able to diversify and have tremendous president in other places, and i want to thank taiwan semiconductor for doing the announcement. i would like to ask mr. wei to say a few words. and howard and david. but maybe you should go first because right now he is the most important man in the room. sorry, fellas. >> thank you. great honor, mr. president. i have to pull out my piece of paper. mr. president, secretary, and i do not know your title. okay. first, i want to say thank you to mr. president, to give me this opportunity to announce in the u.s. tsmc is the world's largest chip manufacturer. founded in 1987. it is now at the forefront of semiconductor technology, supporting ai advancement at the industry court. in fact, in order to -- at the time, in 2020, we have to think president trump's vision and his support. so tsmc started the journey of establishing advanced chip manufacturing in arizona. and now makes me proud to say that we appreciate it has become reality. 3,000 empl

there's also been some, i assume unintended impact on the intelligence community and national security staff, the speed and forcefulness with which this is being done. i think we'll inevitably have secondary consequences. i'm most focused on the humanitarian consequences of people being cut off from medicine and care and food, but we're going to see lots of other ripple effects. >> i am as a defense reporter politico, contractually obligated to ask you about your sacd chairmanship. i know you're new to the job, and i was wondering if you could say a little bit in a, you know, just kind of level set top priorities coming in. >> so sfops is 62.5, roughly billion a year. 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 allie

you hear from the national security advisor from the president, united states, from his entire nationality team, kremlin talking points. for the last week, the white house has been pretending as if ukraine started this war. that's essentially saying that poland invaded germany at the beginning of world war ii. there are still facts in this world. and the fact is this vladimir putin is a brutal dictator. russia started this war, and the entire pretext for that meeting yesterday was an attempt to rewrite history in order to sign a deal with putin that hands putin ukraine. that is disastrous for u.s. national security. that means that china will be on the march. putin may not stop. america may be at war with a nuclear power. and for what? for what? it appears as if america is trying to align itself with dictators. that donald trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition america into a kleptocratic oligarchy where elon musk and donald trump rule and steal from the american people. if we were allied wit

view is that reindustrializing america is imperative not only for economic reasons, but for national security. economists must accept that we are a nation with an economy, not merely an economy with a nation. to reindustrialize, policy must focus on making the united states the best place on earth to do business. anyone considering creating jobs, opening a factory, or innovating should think that america is the obvious place to do it. how can we accomplish that? my view is there are five critical steps. first, slash regulations that make it difficult, expensive, and slow to build and hire. if it takes many years and great cost to attain the permits necessary to open a factory, firms will look abroad. further, every regulation is a compliance burden that inflights the cost of doing business. if only big businesses can afford compliance costs, we'll be left with only big businesses, which entails less competition and dynamism and higher prices. second, we need to continue reforming and cutting taxes that workers and proprietors keep more of the money they earn. third, use tariffs directed by di

his team includes marco rubio and national security advisor mike waltz. they are absolutely competent peoples in every sense of the word they speak based on the fact that they don't command us. and we don't command them or quotes. it's just the 2 serious countries sat down to talk about what was wrong with them and what a predecessor had done in 4 years. destroying all channels of contact without exception, imposing a number of sanctions, followed by the expulsion of american companies, incurring losses of hundreds of billions of dollars of the just following biden's term. there are now people who want to lead with common sense. they say directly that they want to end all wars, they want peace, you who demands a continuation of the gravy train with the war. europe, french president, my crohn is running around with some ideas just like british p. m. cure storm or just they say that so many thousands of peacekeepers are being trained and they will provide them with air cover. that is arrogance. first of all, no one is asking us president donald trump unders

it's got to start going after national security. it's got to start going after those criminals.it's got to start identifying those visa overstays who are marching up and down fifth avenue, swearing to hamas and hezbollah. this needs be prioritized. and if a a community or a city or state does not want to work with federal agencies like ice to prioritize this, then those communities in those locations should expect to see a larger federal presence. that is what we're going to see very likely under the trump administration. unfortunately, for many of these locations, immigration is a federal responsibility that has been the last four years as states like texas have had to step up, take their own border security into their own hands. while being sued by the government who's taken action. it would be comical if it wasn't so dangerous to the country. in closing, i'll say very simply. it's time to regain control of the country and our security. the american people have spoken. immigration and border security as. we called it became the top in this election because of how it touches to

there will be no stopping them. >> brian, going. >> in addition to this you talk about national security and that's one thing a lot of americans -- explained the nationals could aspect of this. >> without the chips and semiconductors nothing runs today. you can't buy a car without them. you can't get a radio, television, nothing comes you can get anything. with autos are important obviously businesswise but we thought even in terms of national security to have this large percentage of the chips semiconductors and other things that they make. the most important product. and not a product that you can really copy. it takes years and years. on the needle of the pen is total genius. i mean they can put things, i mean something the size of india, the point of a pen they put information that is just not even believable. so if you if you would see this it's just really something. yes. >> honda announced -- because of the tariffs. once again -- [inaudible] >> pond is coming at a chilly about apple and they will be starting to build massively here, 500 billion. we have many other companies, going

these were sort of cor us national security views or precepts. but the trump administration and trump personally don't seem that concerned with the violation to view in charter with a violation of international law with a violation of international norms, or even with the daily russian work crimes that are being perpetrated here in ukraine that are intentional and strategic, these aren't mistakes, these are accidents, these are the, the actions of lower level commit and there's a road units. these are coming from the kremlin. and so i think you're correct to know that this is a departure from decades of us, national security and foreign policy. mira, europe, most european countries have a very different outlook because they're much closer geographically. of course, the ukraine, they border ukraine. in fact, donald trump likes to say, hey, it's europe's from a lot more than it is america's problem. because we have an ocean between us and russia. of course, europe doesn't. what is the, what is the overriding interest for europe going forward? the p

so as we say here in ag committee, food security is national security. and when we are depleted of sugar, of citrus, of other vegetables in our area, what that means is that we're going to be dependent on foreign countries to feed americans. we don't want that. we want american farmers to feed americans. and this is why the topic of agriculture, economic loss, water loss for us as per thwart treaty is so, so important. i can share with you that i'm proud to have secured language at the end of last year, in the last congress, granting the secretary of agriculture the authority to provide grants for economic relief to agriculture producers in south texas that are affected by this issue. so my farmers in deep south texas have compounding problems. they have economic pressures, they have burdensome regulation that is weighing down on them. and they have the 1944 water treaty where they're not receiving the water that they need. while this disaster assistance through the appropriations language that we put in to the 2025 appropriations is going to help, so mu

we have been in a national security crisis every since, honestly, before he even ran. we know that he had our national secrets stored at mar a lago. people felt like that wasn't really a big deal. they wanted to compare it to what was going on with joe biden. we know that he was showing this to people that maybe weren't supposed to see our national security secrets. we know that he is consistently engaged in questionable deals as it relates to our emoluments clause when he was in the first go round. next thing you know, his son in law was getting a lot of money from the saudis as soon as they walked out. and so right now and not to mention he has decided that his doj will not prosecute cases that engage in any type of foreign nefariousness when it comes to getting money. so, unfortunately, we have someone that is occupying the white house, and as far as i'm concerned, he is an enemy to the united states. he swore an oath just like the rest of us. but right now, when you are literally putting us at risk. all because of what? because you want to convince your followers th

of deterrence, but also a rediscovery of the old postwar argument that economic security is national security. >> here. rep. stefanik: because, mr. speaker, the demands we now have to make of britain must come alongside a new foundation of security for working people. the tough choices that we made last week, they are not done. we must use the process of getting to 3% of our national income spent on defense to fundamentally rebuild british industry. use our investment in military spending to create new jobs and apprenticeships in every part of the country. >> here. p.m. starmer: that is why, last night, i announced a deal that perfectly civilize is the new era. a partnership with ukraine that allows them to use 1.6 billion pounds of u.k. export finance to buy 5000 air defense missiles manufactured in belfast. mr. speaker, that means u.k. jobs, u.k. skills come u.k. finance pulling together for our national interest, putting ukraine in the strongest possible position for peace and protecting innocent civilians from the terror of russian drones. mr. speaker, my efforts continued on thursday, wh

with me now to discuss cnn senior national security analyst juliette kayyem. juliette, good to see you this, uh, sunday morning. um, this is an expected byproduct of these mass firings. i imagine. >> yes. >> outside of any of the politics of what's going on in this country, if you are an adversary for an intelligence agency, and you hear a country that you want information from is quickly, um, uh, getting rid of lots of its intelligence agencies in a way that many of them will perceive as unfair, unjust, uh, desperate. uh, you would you would reach out to them. so there's no specific proof that this has happened yet. but the the fact that that russia and china are making it clear that this is what they hope for should not be a surprise to us. intelligence agencies tend to be, uh, less, uh, dramatic, let's say, than than what has been going on in the last couple of weeks in terms of government, uh, employees and what they experience. and we're seeing the same kind of, you know, mass firings, uh, layoffs and disruptions within the intelligence community that we

this will create hundreds of billions of trump says this is about national security emigrants and drugs coming into easily across us borders and correcting trade and balances with other countries. critics say it is a shakedown and accusing us presidents of misusing emergency powers to please his political backs. federalist warrant that retaliation will target that base. they're going to look for the places that are the biggest pitch points for the president's party as republican party. and so they're looking at, you know, actually how they can hit in states that are more republican dominated. and that is sadly that this is how trade wars work. truck returned to office demanding loyalty, seeking retribution, releasing jail supporters and telling allies they have to pay for us protection. it is an approach that has left both friends and foes on set and wondering what comes next. same bus for avi ultra 0. a. tony chains live outside the world's largest wholesale market in china is a huge city. tony who has a place like you're going to be impacted by us terrace, potentially very badly, and

and the national security of eastern europe.ump would be hard pressed to find ukraine on a map. he has rarely traveled. he doesn't have great interest in foreign policy, and he considers most of our global relationships to be shakedowns that the united states is paying for more than it's getting, which also isn't the case. >> let that settle in. but yeah. tim o'brien. so trump announced his plan to replace the foreign investors visa program with the trump gold card. it is a $5 million payment to give wealthy foreigners a fast track to permanent residency and a path to citizenship. so let's listen to trump doing the math. >> if we sell 10 million, which is possible, 10 million highly productive people coming in or people that were going to make productive, they'll be young, but they're talented, like a talented athlete. that's $50 trillion. that means our debt is totally paid off, and we have $15 trillion above that. >> okay. how realistic is trump's goal of selling 10 million gold cards at 5 million bucks a piece? and do you thi

his entire national security team. kremlin talking points. >> pretty strong words there from senator chris murphy, who joined me on state of the union yesterday. president trump's fondness for vladimir putin, bad blood with zelenskyy. it all goes back years. in 2019, trump was impeached after pressuring zelenskyy to investigate the bidens. during a call about providing military aid, alexander vindman was the national security council's top ukraine expert. he was on the line for that phone call and ultimately testified before congress. you see it there. he is now the author of a new book, the folly of realism how the west deceived itself about russia and betrayed ukraine. and joins me now with the latest. wow, this could not be more timely. this book coming out. alex, thank you for being here. uh, i just want to start with you where we started the program, which is another escalation by president trump when it comes to zelenskyy. this statement on his social media, this is the worst statement that could have been made b

so it appears that there are different approaches, perhaps because it relates to certain national security or foreign policy issues that these agencies are taking. but still, it raises a lot of questions for these employees about whether they need to answer or what exactly the repercussions might be if they don't. >> right. all right. arlette saenz, thanks so much for that reporting. and joining us now, senior political analyst ron brownstein. ron, good to see you. we just heard from arlette saenz reporting there about how employees are being asked again to talk about and report on their activities at work. um, what do you how do you see this? i mean, this is going to be apparently what they're going to have to do now going forward. how do you see this going over in federal employees reacting? >> well, look. >> i mean, i. >> think as you as you heard. >> there. mean, there. >> are a lot of issues here. >> i mean, one. >> are the. >> security implications of. >> having in one. place the names of so many federal employees. >> and their managers. >> i mean, there have been national security e

. >> but the national. security adviser was on television this morning and. >> suggested there's basically three. >> things they. >> need to see. >> from zelensky. >> to start repairing this relationship. the first. >> is the. >> gratitude that they feel like was missing. >> from that oval. >> office. >> meeting where. >> you heard jd. vance ask him about saying thank you. >> the second. >> is a willingness. >> to sign the minerals deal. >> that. >> was on the table on that day. >> zelensky has. >> said he's. >> still willing. >> to do so. >> the third is an. >> apology from zelensky for his. >> behavior in the oval office. zelensky has said in subsequent interviews that he doesn't. >> think he. >> needs to. >> apologize, that. >> he's. >> not sure. >> he did. >> anything wrong. >> to the degree. >> that all politics. >> is personal. with donald trump. >> it may. >> take zelensky. >> being willing. >> to swallow his pride on. >> that third. >> point to. >> repair the personal. part of this relationship. >> and move.

well, alexi more, i be a, there's an associate professor of national security and strategic studies that cut and university he explained the outcome of the ukraine war. now hinges on what that suspension of us minute your aid will look like. or if it's a reference to the ongoing for these are not the nation's military equipment, it won't be as critical as, for example, so spanish on all information on an intelligent sharon billy that would make a huge difference with regards to ukraine. situational awareness and will provide the russians an advantage on the battlefield with regards to the former. busy files of your nations and weaponry, while the ukrainians have a little bit of bad to go without and your supplies for, for a few months. so again, it was very much the band whether this mode is symbolic, just to put political pressure on, on the landscape. what from bringing in wants to the your brain? yes. in terms of providing them with disadvantages on the battlefield and by their force in them in so peace negotiations in terms of the best force to europe is pretty much exposed because t

that's not in our national security interest. to me, this is a national security issue.that donald trump is appeasing vladimir putin? >> it appears that way. i can't get into his motives. i don't know his motives. some think he's doing this for negotiating and maybe get a better deal. i don't know. all i know is what he says and he says that russia is not the invader, that's ukraine's fault, that's just wrong. >> reporter: is there danger in this? >> yep, there is. i fear what this means, we've had -- we came out of world war ii, you know, the dominant power, the indispensable country for freedom. we had nato. and i worry that this framework is going to collapse. >> reporter: when the united states sided with russia and north korea at the united nations, what message did that send? >> well, the first message it sent to me was shame. >> reporter: senator angus king is an independent from maine, serving on the armed services and intelligence committees. >> i always try to think of, you know, what's the argument on both sides? i cannot think of a rational argument for pulli

he's an associate professor of national security and such egypt studies, that cutting university joins us live from us in australia, alexi. so donald trump says he's posing old us, been to trade for ukraine as a solution to ending the war. how much pressure then does this stuff put on ukraine to agree to a peace deal? because so that is because that's not the end of the war. some time away, it was very much sit down on. what does donald trump mean by boys in milledgeville, e, do you bring? if it's, if it's a reference to the ongoing provision all nations military way, but it wouldn't be it as critical as for example, so spanish all information intelligence, sharon billy that would make a huge difference with regards to your brain. situational awareness and we'll provide the russians and advantage on the battlefield with regards to the former. busy files of nations and weaponry, while the ukrainians have a little bit of bad to go without and your supplies for, for a few months. so again, it was very much the band whether this mode is symbolic, just a political pressure on, on the landsc

it's a matter o f economic security and national security and he'll be able to diversify and have hissence in another place and in a very safe place. i want to thank taiwan semiconductor for doing the announcement and i'd like to ask you to say a few words and david also. he's the most important man in the room right now. >> thank you, great honor. >> i'm having to pull out my piece of paper. mr. president, sec tear and sorry i don't know your title. okay. first i want to say thank you to mr. president to give me this opportunity to announce our project in the u.s.. tsmc is the largest manufacturing company funded by dr. which i think in 1987. it's now at the forefront of semiconductor technology supporting ai in industry. in fact i'd like to walk back the time for president trump's vision and support. so tsmc start the journey of establishing the chip manufacturing in arizona. now i'm proud to say the vision is a reality. in arizona, we have 3,000 employees and we're producing the most chips made on u.s. soil. with the success of our first batch so we are now very happy to announce w

i worked in the national security apparatus of the department of homeland security and i worked on manyases where that had happened. >> is there any other country in the world that you know operates like this? other countries around the world this would never happen anywhere else, by the way. >> can you name a country that has behaved like this and what has been the outcome of this type of behavior? a sustainable model given the number of people that have been in this country especially over the last four years. >> it is not a sustainable model a number of the latin american countries and most of them get away with it after they were attempting to attract migrants in order to build their industries and build the number of people living in those countries. this is something that is clearly nonexistent. >> they throw that in our face and they say we have to have open borders in order to be nice to people. i just want to tell the left, a bunch of neighbors right here in our country that are americans. your neighbors are the homeless veterans that you drive by to work. our neighbors are the

we don't want to jeopardize national security. we want to make sure thousand positions are being made before folks terminated. not indiscriminately, and clearly, you could meet the objective of fraud, waste and abuse in a thoughtful manner and not indiscriminate but need to be transparent about that in order to have trust in the process. i look forward to working with you if confirmed. sen. peters: senator johnson? senator johnson: mr. edgar, mr. bishop, were both aware of the fact that i've been talking quite a bit about returning to some pre-pandemic level of spending. mr. edgar, you've obviously experienced the ca -- private sector experience. what drives me nuts around here is coming from the private sector, nobody seems to use a budget the way families use a budget and the way businesses use a budget. i use the analogy of i don't think any family they have a serious illness has to borrow $50,000 to pay for medical bills , that family member gets well, they continue to borrow $50,000 to spend at that level. that is exactly wha

what does that mean for america's national security?ublicans in congress who talk about how scared they are to stand up and do the right thing, because they know that a right wing mob has been unleashed? >> yeah, i think this was certainly the effect, probably the intention of these pardons in that, you know, historically in america, we haven't had to deal with state aligned militias since the ku klux klan. that is now changing. we have approximately 1600 people who have been pardoned for potentially violent actions of the capitol in the name of this president, and they have now been placed functionally above the law. so, you know, political violence is something that we haven't really had to experience in america for a generation or two that's coming to an end. >> mr. ballou, y'all wouldn't believe, but this is one of his first television appearances. thank you so much for your insight. we hope you will come back for adin ballou. appreciate your time. quick programing note folks on tuesday. be sure to tune in to msnbc for our special c

a number of other kind of privacy and national security, food security, all of those things.tory authorities on these things are somewhat split. mergers or antitrust proceeds at doj. pesticides is ftc.es usda doesn't really have at the trust authority overseas but we do theth federal seed act which does disclosure. that disclosure is based on delivery or movement in interstate commerce of a bag of seed. that was nice 100 yesterday but todayt people buy the seats online before moves into interstate commerce. you don't get disclosure of the kind of writing you are buying when you go on the internet. you can't get the disclosure until it lands at your farm of what's in the bag of seats. it would try to as a farmer to try to buy different kinds of seeds you don't just want potential crop failure, you might not know you are buying the same variety from multiple different sellers under different brands. there's a whole bunch of things that can be done, and we also need to be investing in new seed research and the same type of thing goes on in the bird genetics and other parts of us

>> it's very complex because defense is a very kind of it's a national security issue.o to treat those companies and price those companies based on the news flow we currently have on defense spending, etcetera, is increasingly more difficult. i'm not a defense expert, you could say on defense stocks, but what i would say is in the us, for example, for a lot of defense stocks, the revenue is actually or the roe is determined by the government. so you have to be a bit careful about how to price those type of stocks. so i cannot say if they overshot or not. i mean, we clearly see positive momentum behind defense spending. but the problem is always when you have such a big regime shift. now with regards to defense and defense spending, these companies might change how they make money and how they get integrated into the kind of fabric of, of national security. so i would say, listen, i understand why they rally a lot. there will be a lot more spending on defense, and it's going to be a multi-year process. so you get predictability of cash flows, potentially predictability o

rediscovery of the old post—war argument long held on these benches that economic security is national security mr speaker, the demands we now have to make of britain must come alongside a new foundation of security for working people. the tough choices that we made last week, they are not done. we must use the process of getting to 3% of our national income spent on defence to fundamentally spending to create newjobs and apprenticeships in every part of the country. and that's why last night, i announced a deal that perfectly symbolises the new era, a partnership with ukraine that allows them to use £1.6 billion of uk export finance to buy 5,000 air defence missiles manufactured in belfast. mr speaker, that means ukjobs, uk skills, uk finance pulling together for our national interests, putting ukraine in the strongest possible position for peace and protecting innocent civilians from the terror of russian drones. mr speaker, my efforts continued on thursday, people may enjoy the simplicity of taking a side, this week in securing the peace we all want to see in ukraine. kemi badenoch, responde
