our navy remains most powerful in the world. however, the navy is not alone in responsibility. as sales james mattis stated in august. quote, it creates unpredicibility and makes us rigid and we cannot deal with new and revealing threats and we know our enemies are not standing still, end of quote. passing another temporary measure com pounds the negative impacts for our military and some of those impacts are highlighted by the manning, training and certification gaps necessitated by increased operational demand. speaker paul ryan and chairman mack dornberry have been clear and have been promoting the critical need of the robust appropriations bill. i believe the primary responsibility of the national government is to provide for the national security of its citizens and that is true of our sailors, soldiers and marines and therefore, it is our responsibility to better understand the readiness observation and have the review and comprehensive review are informing and assisting the department of the nafty in correcting any deficiencies and shortfalls. this week the navy announce

we have agreements with the navy to guard against or to protect our interests in the event that the navy either is unable to or elects not to pursue the work sufficient to secure a free release from california department of public health. and under the edcoma, we're not required to take any land from the navy that does not have free release. so essentially, failure to achieve that would be a reopener of the conveyance agreement with the navy. secondarily, the edcoma contains provisions that if they're not able to accrue free release of site 12 since a portion of the residential area is intended to be constructed in a portion of site 12, that we could actually reconfigure the program to relocate housing that would otherwise have been located within site 12 to the area on the east side of the island that's currently proposed to be sports fields. that would trigger -- there would be some additional supplemental environmental work. under the edcoma, is navy would be required to compensate tida for those costs. however, that would be a significant impact to the city. so what our interests are

offshore, our navy has trained south vietnamese navy patrols which guard internal waterways to.hese patrols hauled suspicious vessels for search and interrogation. distinction between friend and communist of is one of the most of the problems of guerrilla war. overhead, the u.s. air force trained south vietnamese pilots to supply isolated outpost in a land where roads are all too few. in tattoo operations, the experience and support of our air force trained savvy in his pilots give competence and wings to government troops. air commandos like their counterparts in the army and navy are trained for special missions, they also act as instructors and advisors. teamwork and on the spot training cover dedication from the men in the field to the top commander, general paul d harkins. >> the u.s. secretary to our vietnamese allies is a vest and confidence of one. it involves political, economic, psychological and military measures. all of the armed forces of the u.s. play a part. >> on the side of the world, less than 90 miles from florida, lucas and other communist challenge, when the

navy. join us as we learn more about it in the history of the navy in newport. >> here at the center of american maritime history in newport, rhode island, it is one of the deepest natural in closed ports in the world. for that reason the united states navy chose it as one of its key anchorages during the prime of american naval seapower in the early 20th century. arguably the origins of the naval war college began. the germans were ahead of the game, literally, in techniques of wargaming. during the wars of german unification, they came up with an idea called the general staff. the general staff was an organization that enabled all the different principalities to fall in line with their regiments under this centralized organization called the general staff. there was a guy named emory upton, a greater general. he said look at what the germans did with that general staff. he went over to germany and studied the german methods. he brought them back. upton basically made the argument what we

navy. particularly the navy officer corps. and i wonder what the naval academy and rotc and ocs for that matter are doing about that. that's the first fundamental, the moral fiber, ethical fiber of the u.s. navy has been called into question. and then go on to bob work this morning, and bob's discussion about how we have bias in favor of presence rather than capability. the fundamental question, why did we do that? and then, the most recent panel this morning, gerry roncolato and others, apparently some of our sailors don't know how to operate ship control console. their officers at the deck don't understand the rules of the road. there are c.o.s who don't enforce their night orders. it's pretty fundamental. i think it calls into question how did we get into this situation in which the very fundamentals of our navy are called into question. i would love to hear an answer. >> well, robby, i tried to address that in my remarks. so i'll submit those for the record. if you will. so it's a combination. there are systemic issues tha

the navy today. officials have decided to retest the hunter's point shipyard in san francisco for radiation. that's because the contractor it hired to get rid of contamination at the super fund site may have faked the clean-up. >> we've been breaking news on the scandal for four years now. liz wagner joins us with the new developments involving this land. slated for park, shops and even homes, liz. >> the navy confirms nearly half the clean-up is in question. we've already exposed allegations after fraud by former workers and uncovered an incertainly report showing the company at the center of the scandal cheated on part of the clean-up. navy officials just finished reviewing all of the clean-up record and now admitting it's worse than they thought. >> i think the extent is greater than we anticipated definitely. navy official derek robinson is in charge of the clean-up at the shipyard. he says the year long review found nearly half of the radiation data showed inconsistencies, and that a good portio

both for the army and the navy . so there are various individuals who were politicians or in the continental congress or army or navy who believed that academies were really important institutions to establish or military effectiveness during the revolution. so i would say probably the most notable proponents would be henry knox with george washington's chief of artillery in the continental army. he was in favor of establishing a military academy to draw up a plan for that. on the navy side it would be john paul jones was considered a father of the american navy, a great naval hero coming out of the revolutionary war. owns himself advocated establishing naval academies on american shipyards during the revolutionary war to educate the officers of the navy. on the politician side, john adams was very much an early advocate of academies for both the army and the navy so the idea goesback to the country's founding . >> military academy built in america was the united states military academy in west point. west point was

the navy still doesn't talk about it. the crew has never spoken to the media.i was in communication with a couple of them and they're just like it's not worth it to us. >> does the fbi or the cia review the book before it was published. >> know. >> did they ever asked to. >> they would love to well, the only thing they tried to do, in a couple cases retired cia officers are supposed to always get their interviews approved, especially if it's on a sensitive subject so there are a few cases where they had called public affairs at langley and asked if they had permission to talk to me because they knew i had met with langley and i had at least their quasi- herbal, and in thoseas cases what they were always told was you need to write out what you're going to tell him, send it to us, will run after the clearance and tell you if it's okay. will that would take years basically so they would call me back and say hey, i have to do this thing and i would say you don't know what i can ask you so how would you write out your answers. eventually all those people said screw

it's undertaken a massive investment in its navy, and is ambitiously advancing its territorial claims to the disputed spratly and senkaku islands chains in the south and east china seas. is this maritime expansion an effort to project power and deny access to what were once international waters, or a reasonable assertion of china's expanding capabilities? china, next on great decisions. (upbeat music) great decisions is produced by the foreign policy association in association with thomson reuters. funding for great decisions is provided by pricewaterhousecoopers llp. (rhythmic ethnic music) it's an undertaking as massive as china itself. beijing is boldly extending claims to the south china sea. it's doing so through an enormous land reclamation project, dredging the sea floor to build islands. - it's very difficult for any foreign policy analyst to get to the core of what drives current chinese behavior. i think number one is this, the chinese have long held a view that this is part of their sovereign territory in territorial seas, goes back not just decades but centuries. - let me

in the navy, david is a navy command, i'll explain a little bit of the history. in the command on becoming the commanding officer, you have a change of command ceremony. that morning my wife michelle and our two daughters ages seven and four unitas journal with this and written note. here daddy, we want you to write stories about camp david and the president in this journal. someday our children will read them. 19 years ago i thought okay, maybe i'll write something and i did. i had it from president clinton to president bush, what happened that weekend. never thought i'd do anything with it. this is the day they had me that journal, by the historic holly. first rule about speaking in public is know your audience. who's been to camp david? it's fascinating. fascinating that you've been there and some of you i know in the navy, maybe on the stories, thermal there's almost invariably somebody who knows someone who served there so fact check me as we go. they give me this book and the journal and i keep notes. and when i seriously got interested in writing a book a

i spent a lot of time at crane navy lab in indiana. i've been struck by how integrated they are in not only innovating new capabilities to meet navy requirements but testing and evaluating and verifying systems developed for the navy by private industry throughout the acquisition process. i'd love to get your view of defense labs as a vital player in the acquisition system. >> yes, senator. i think, you know, in coming to the navy, i'm really impressed with their warfare centers and their labs and how well they're tied. i think having an organic capability, especially as we've got this rise of commercial technology and commercial products, that organic capability to take them, test them quickly, perhaps integrate them in a different way than would be done commercially is a critical piece for us. back from my so com days, navy dahlgren does all the software for our gun ships. that's all written organically. that gave us great flexibility in special operations command to change as requirements on the battlefield game. so i think it's an

so the group the cajun navy gets the credit. especially with hurricane harvey. and after katrina and i love the name the cajun navy. because they have attention. if you need help get on. so those thousands of people coming from texas. so then they find and then they emerge from the bottom up. but that was just a communication tool. with those management efforts. >> is this an example of new technology to supplement so in prior disasters or hurricanes to have this technology available so people could have that instant communication because only the organization have that traditional walkie-talkie type of device now everybody communicates with everybody else. >> there is some overlap how do these public agencies to have the rule of law work better with a huge number of volunteers? but disaster recovery with a hand out radios that cost thousands or protocols for who can use them if you have a radio you are special. and so that command structure created around that. so another example like puerto rico. now everybody has a radio. and to take advantage of the infrastr

navy. join us as we learn more about it in the history of the navy in newport as we speak to the history professor david conan. here at the center of american maritime history in newport, rhode island, it is one of the deepest, natural and enclosed ports in the world. for that reason the u.s. navy chose it as one of its key anchorages. the origins of the naval war germany.eigin in the germans were ahead of the game for techniques of wargaming. thehe great unification, of germans came up with an idea called the general staff. it was an organization that allowed all the other principalities to fall in line under the regiments centralized organization called the general staff. there was a guy named emory upton, who was a brigadier general, that said, look with the germans did with the general staff. they studied the german methods. the argument that what we need to do is create a federally regulated army. that idea ran against some of the traditional thoughts of how the militant -- american mi

and then of course it's what's the appeal a navy the chinese navy and also chinese freighters do when they come across any of these united states naval vessels what happens if one of the chinese freighters is intercepted for example whether the chinese navy then has to try to interject to try to stop one of these interventions so lots of questions lots of uncertainty how all of this might play out from the u.s. point of view of course and its allies they are merely putting in place the kind of enforcement that they believe chinese officials and chinese authorities here should have been enforcing but the suspicion is that chinese officials may have been turning a blind eye and rob china is the biggest trading partner with north korea but how strictly then are the u.n. sanctions being enforced by beijing because there are suspicions of sanctions violations. that's absolutely right i mean china is a hugely important of korea some ninety percent of the trade is with china a lot of it comes across the friendship bridge here at dandong china says it is fully implementing all of the sanction

>> and the na navy has asked tht question, was it a fleet program or does it extend throughout the navy. the tap admirals have been taking this ea seriously, lookig at everything, the way they train the sailors and the systems they use. they need to put command focus back on the operations angive them the training time, the personnel and the resources to make our navy safe and make it the top operating vehicle it should be. charles: thank you for your expertise. now the man of the hour is next, lou dobbs. lou: good evening, i'm david in for lou dobbs. congress is barreling toward the possible government shutdown. lawmakers have until friday to pass a spending bill but some democrats will not support the deal unless it gives amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. we'll have a full report. >>> also tonight, the trump administration going straight te on daca. attorney general jeff sessions says it defies law and common sense that a single district court in san francisco can block the administration from ending the obama era program. so the justice department is asking the supreme court

the last nine crs have cost the navy, in the neighborhood of $4 billion. that's not opportunity lost. that's putting $4 billion in a trashcan, putting lighter fluid on it and burning it. that's exactly, this is the symbiotic relationship we have to have with the industrial base. that's a tough environment to work in when we think we can turn a switch on and off to build a ship or to fund a project. the whipsaw effect let alone what happened to the pentagon delivery schedule and cost of dollars, it trickles down to our supply chain and our suppliers. in a magnified manner. >> if i might expand on that. the returns of the defense industry very good. this is a great business. it's not a question of not investing in a because of their current returns. it's a question of if i invested it is a going to drive more revenue in the future and with sequestration you don't get there. with oco funding requirement you don't get there. that's the hesitancy to invest. you said mike is in the middle between customer and investor and that's not exactly true because we are o

we see what's happening with germany's latest navy effort and we know that america, our navy has beenetched very thin. >> first of all, nato and the united states in particular are still the most competent war force to go to sea and to deploy in our lifetime and maybe in history. that said, russia and china in particular are closing the gap. and in particular when you look at the united states navy, for example, 340 years ago we had about 600 ships on an average day we had 100 dea employed. today we have 280 ships and on an average day we have 100 deployed. while the number of ships have gone into half, the number of ships deployed remains the same. we're stretched thin. at the same time the russians and the chinese are developing hyper sonic weapons. they're increasing their nuclear capabilities. it's something to watch closely. when you talk about technology and building new ship classes in particular, that's nothing new. the class destroyer was very complicated. had trouble with that when we first built it. imagine taking a large building, turning it on its side and dipping it in s

the navy secretary said that because of c.r.'s, the navy has put $4 billion in the trash can, poured lighter fluid on it, and burnt it. that's the navy secretary because of what you have done. this is no way to conduct the nation's business. republicans know it, democrats know it, the american people know that this party is not capable of governing. so where do we go from here? i believe many of my republican colleagues sincerely want to get a deal. i know their hearts are in the right place. i know they lament the fact that we now accept brinkmanship where bipartisanship used to be. in the past, there was always discussions on these issues. everyone knew in the senate you needed both parties to work together. none of that happened here today. now, all this problem is because republican leadership can't get to yes because president trump refuses to. mr. president, president trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. the way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, it's almost

navy. >> more the former than the latter. we need to shift that. our primary job is to find is to provide the requirements to the industrial base of what the problem is. and see you guys go back and do your r&d and come back with a solution. roche is a perfect example of how her changing it. we need to be out there looking around saying here are atypical or nonstandard developments out there in the marketplace that we are not see normally through our traditional supply base. we have to be doing both it is a communications layer, of give-and-take. >> it's an 18 month organization. as we talk about capital one of the challenges is how do we adequately fund and invest in commercial technology that may not meet the quarterly earnings impact. the real challenges that our adversaries are not waiting. they recognize this. i'll share some stats. if you look at all venture deals in the united states in 2015, 12% had an investor from china. that's up from 6% in 2010. if you look at certain technology such as robotics 17% of the funding was from china. see yo

navy and its allies and the chinese navy and chinese merchant vessels around the korean peninsula as far as china's position is concerned it is implementing fully the u.n. sanctions but here at places like dandong one of the most important links with north korea of course ninety percent of north korea's trade goes through china it is still very busy with the kinds of commodities and foods and goods that china is allowed to trade with north korea but we are seeing evidence as far as the chinese authorities are concerned of clamping down on some of those activities and businesses that provide north korea money such as its north korean restaurants or companies that are trading in north korea but the suspicion is always that individuals and companies are simply changing their names or changing management structures as a way of getting around the sanctions hong kong's high court has sentenced the pro-democracy activist josh along for a second time for his role in the protests and twenty fourteen he's been given a three month jail term his lawyers have asked the court not to rest until the

as it can be.e the secretary of the navy had similar words. about transportation. it is about education. it is about all of our meetings of the american people. the republicans do not want to invest in a domestic agenda. they are using the kids as an excuse. they are using children of chip as an excuse. using the children of the dreamers as an excuse. not to address the fiscal discussion that we must have. let me just say this. we do not want a shutdown. and we have made that clear all along the way. now, if we are going to have negotiations while our government runs, the question is, who are we open to serve? are we open to serve the veterans? i don't know how many of my colleagues have the 80 hospitals v.a.r districts -- hospitals in our districts. i have two. these people have made significant sacrifices. not funding the programs they need to fill out their goals. let's address these issues, the children. the children of the health insurance program. the fact of the matter is, they thesefusing to fund hospitals. where these children have to go to get their care.

this isn't the first time tetratech misled the navy. officials caught tetratech mishandling soil samples and falsifying data in separate locations. this came to light through a public records request filed by the group green action. green action filed another petition today citing new revelations of potential fraud. now this report is a draft report and the navy says it doesn't comment on draft documents. but officials have promised to sit down with us later this month to explain the full results of its investigation. tetra tech did not respond to our requests for comment, but of course we'll stay on top of this story. >>> well, she planned the escape for two years. the disturbing details we're learning about the teenager who set her 12 siblings free. >>> a 4-year-old girl has been killed and her younger sister on life support, a bay area family ripped apart by a man allegedly on the run from police. >>> right now we're watching a rain soaked commute around em y emeryvil emeryville. how much of this will carry through friday and the wee

navy recruiting poster from the war. it really is one of the most interesting images to me because it shows the various allies of the united states and their navy, and how they really want the americans to join in with them. the poster is called "all together." we see a japanese sailor, french sailor, american sailor, the british sailor, russian, and italian. very different in that it did represent all of the allies that americans were fighting in the war with. during world war i, the japanese were analyzed with the united states -- were allies with the united states, new zealand, great britain, and france. one of their great efforts during the war was their navy. they acted as escort for the new zealand and australian forces to go fight in the middle east and on the western front. they were the escort service for them. that is part of the history of world war i that a lot of people don't know about. even a lot of japanese visitors come here to the museum, it is always interesting for them to see that part of the history

special forces and navy seals. they also decide to do this ra raid, go out and haul down bad guys in the middle of the night. it's a move away from their more traditional role of working with local populations. it will come under fire in the community for taking them away from it. so we think of as counter insurgency is mainly done by conventional forces. over time there's better collaboration between special operations and other forces. initially there are running around doing things by themselves thinking it would when the war than the commander said to go in and clean up the mess. over time they learn to work together. and what they day could be mutually reinforcing. you had a division of labor was special operators would go in and do the killing of the leadership targets while conventional targets to do more population security. it's true that combination that you suppress. there we move our military center of gravity to afghanistan. special operations continuing to do the targeted missions but they also decide
