we have contracts in place to get other suppliers in place and go through the nsa certification for that because we are a firm believer the only way the model works is if we have multiple performers, multiple competition , and bring the entire market base up, and even if we do that at the tier one prime level, but we are strapped because there is one component that there's only one provider of, that is an area we see as risky, so that is where we invest. otherwise we do not really invest in technology. >> you look like you have thoughts on that. >> yes, and he talked about the space architecture. another example of how critical components were delayed and when they were, instead of september of this year, it will be probably april of next year, a critical capability that we need that is impeded by perturbations in the supply chain. the question is -- how do you find that sweet spot, send the proper demand signal, get industry to make the proper investment? how do you find that sweet spot as fda goes down the road and develops these new programs, that is that learning curve for us to get

as you know, i believe, for instance, the nsa, we have the best code breakers and code makers in the world but if china gets quantum computing before we do it because is a real problem. we need to stay ahead of the technology curve and part of that is, when we talk about technology as a tool and target, we have to disrupt. the cia has to play a very important role disrupting our adversaries' technologies in terms of trying to get ahead of us. you mentioned semiconductors. we all know the issue that relates to taiwan, that 95% of advanced semiconductors are there and we are trying to address those supply chain issues. but we can do things and the cia must do things to disrupt how our adversaries are dealing with their supply chain issues and i regard to that. that is just one example. >> thank you for the information of the senators. we will hold a committee vote on mr. radcliffe's nomination as soon as possible, most likely monday afternoon. any member who wishes to submit questions for the record after today's hearing, do so by the close of business tomorrow. mr. radcliffe, i expect

while the sensitive user data that we are talking about and that were of concern in the nsa negotiations were not the type of technical data that she's ta about, the nsa did allow certain types of old non-sensitive data to go back and forth but that wasn't anybody'srn and it's the same page 20. our brief they cut off the note issues and without raising those concerns b t clear that's a concern sweep that into the band to put an ad nonsensitive technical data into the band too. we will deal with th so i better than simply being forced to shut down so that is most definitely a less rictive alternative that would address data se. we talked about the under inclusiveness in the two large commercend you might have seen team during the super bowl that was heavily advertised.

michael waltz, incoming nsa, was saying a but things on some of the networks.d earlier today they'll enforce the ban. the incoming president's been all over truth social today. he says he'll sign an executive order tomorrow that will post on the ban. i don't know if he can do that. the other thing he said is you can split ownership. 50% owned by the u.s. and perhaps 50% owned by a conglomeration of chinese and singapore -- >> that is the easiest way out of this. the president-elect is correct. the question is getting the chinese to the table. they were hoping that the supreme court would give them the ultimate, no pun intended, trump card. the supreme court did the not go their way. they decided that they had to give credence to these national security views that the government had put before them. they did not view this as a free speech issue. and so now the chinese have got to make a decision. the chinese voluntarily went dark. you know, the biden administration wasn't saying they were going to enforce if it. but that comes, you know, from tiktok's perspectiv

if approved, gabbard would oversee 18 federal agencies, including the cia, the fbi and the nsa, and would be one of president trump's top advisors helping curate the intelligence that is presented to him on a daily basis. gabbard served in the army national guard, but she does not have any experience working in a top national security or intelligence position. she also did not serve on a congressional intelligence committee during her eight years in congress, and there are long running concerns about her ties to authoritarians like the recently ousted syrian dictator bashar al assad and russia's vladimir putin. it's worth noting that the white house promising consequences for republicans who don't support nominees like tulsi gabbard is not happening in a vacuum. it's happening today. at the end of the week, marked by the enactment of the kind of retribution that trump promised on the campaign trail in a day one executive order, trump revoked the security clearances of 50 former intelligence officials. in what legal experts tell nbc news is an unprecedented move, which underscores both the
