could take a look and say that is this kind of ship, we want you to put it at the bottom of the persian gulf. >> today, i can go to my meta glasses and say hey, what kind of tree is that and instantaneously it tells me what kind of tree it is. are we at a place? >> we are getting better, the f-35 does some of this stuff, but we still can't share from one service to another. we are working on it. there is the thing called joint all domain command and control, and we have done a test and this allows all the systems to talk to each other. so, we have got an initial tested capability. it seems viable, it seems like it will work. but now it is up to dod to try to get all these systems to be able to do this. because having that information with the war fighter immediately and being able to communicate securely, seamlessly is the thing that makes us a force multiplier. we are not there yet. >> how soon will be lieutenant kelly of today be able to look at, not have to wait for the ship to shoot at him, to know whether it is hostile, and not just happen to some generalized dia foundational military i

business storage, elaborate the 2nd key international forum in the persian gulf in december alone, which i think clearly shows that western attempts to isolate russia from this region have failed. meanwhile, the russian military stays at sappho was helping syria by bombing terrorist positions on high doubts. for his part, the syrian army has declared it continues count the terrorist operations of the regions where they earlier. we deployed the forces and meet the rapid militant advance and education as well as our brave army continues its highly active counter terrorist operations in the regions of hama, poms, and dara in the north, which have become a mass grave for hundreds of terrorists. our armed forces are also reinforcing their lines around damascus in the southern region to prevent any incidents that terrorists are trying to invoke, do not believe any rumors and trust your army, which has dedicated itself to ensure your security. on this exclusive footage shows government forces near northern hama, often the redeployment from the main regional city fighting has intensified in the

international forum in the persian gulf in december alone, which i think clearly shows that western attempts to isolate russia from this region have failed. a syrian ministry has announced and it's built a strong no line of defense. and the problem says, of raw on slide, is, comes as minutes and as a talk to minute treat check points in the south of the country. as well as exclusive footage shows government forces in the northern hama province off to the redeployment from the main regional city. fighting has intensified and neighboring homeless problems to the bus on the house monitoring account 10 minutes into balances on surround to images. question a patient has provided backups, striking and destroying terrorist holds must go, says that at least $200.00 to hodges and several on staffers have been destroyed over the past 24 hours and they will be on. so what is being led to by say hi, and talk to the electronic function fully known as i'll call you during syria. it is designated as a terrorist squared by countries including russia, to keep the united states the u. n. but that hasn't stopp

and canada oil and gas production overtook the whole of the persian gulf production. let me say that again. the combined canada and u.s. oil and gas production exceeded the combined persian oil and gas production. the center of global energy production shifted to north america. that's where we are at here today. what's really strange about this town. there are a lot of strange things about this town. most people don't know what i just said. many people in this town think china is the leader in energy. it's truly amazing. obviously people don't get the data points. people think saudi arabia is the dominant power in energy. the combined shift of the u.s. and canada is truly stunning. for -- so the strengths i just listed require a new take on how the u.s. engages with the world starting with canada. new energy diplomacy is needed based on this energy strength. not only has he was diplomacy not caught up with this leadership -- has this diplomacy not caught up with this leadership, -- many people are still more than the old time period that once again started 10 years ago

some facilitates uh, transit from restaurant and to see our yes through it wants to india and the persian gulf nations. the tragic route is what needs to be a viable alternative to the conventional source can altov that's been close to russia now as part of the western sanctions imposed on the country. let me tell you most. the most important topic was the completion of the north south corridor. both the president and the vice president stress this and we made some assessments in the meeting to complete this quarter in the best manner that the completion of this quarter will definitely increase the volumes of transitive goods. we will have a significant increase after the completion of the chord, or that would not only benefit iran and russia, but will also impact regional development. we didn't talk about sanctions in these meetings. you said it's apparent that these sections are unilateral and inhumane. in our responses and minimizing the impact of the sanctions on us, we have to look for solutions to lift these unilateral, inhumane sanctions. of course, we discussed the development of conta

there's a storage, elaborate of seconds he international forum in the persian gulf in december alone, which i think clearly shows that western attempts to isolate russia from this region have failed. meanwhile, the syrian army stays is read, deploying, and the southern provinces up the raw and us a wider as militants occupies the waves of territory. the fighters have reported, he sees the military type points in the region of this exclusive so, so it shows, governments forces, need to know the hollow off to the redeployment from the main regional city finding has intensified in the neighboring homes 12 instead, the army has managed to town to willis since as long as its own surrounding villages, russian aviation has provided backups, striking and destroying terrace, strongholds. moscow. he states that at least $200.00 to hi this on several of death . others have been destroyed over the past 24 hours and then the long slow is being led by the high a tardy out. some factions, formerly known as i'll call you the in syria, is designated as a terrorist, great by countries including russia,

there's a storage, elaborate of seconds he international forum in the persian gulf in december alone, which i think clearly shows that western attempts to isolate russia from this region have failed. the serial and he says that it is uh, re deployed in the southern areas of rock and slide the as medicines sees slaves of territory and those provinces fighters have reported me also taken minute treat check points and the reach and the well this exclusive foot to it just shows government full, says and then know the how my problem solved to the redeployment from the main national city. fighting has intensified in the neighboring homes area to there's all me has managed account to minutes and to phones is on the surrounding areas. brushing aviation has provided back up striking and destroying terrace from holds must go says that at least 200 to hodge us and separate on staff. those have been destroyed over the past 24 hours. and i don't see what is being led by the hyatt. i say the other, some the faction fully known as al qaeda in syria. it's designated as a terror squared by countries i

there's a storage, elaborate of seconds he international forum in the persian gulf in december alone, which i think clearly shows that western attempts to isolate russia from this region have failed. meanwhile, these 2 were, you know, i me say he's a swede employer in the, in the southern provinces of the raw. and so why the, as militants occupies waves of territory, them fine. so those have reported these, these, the military check points in the region. the, the, this exclusive 1st page says government forces need to know the and how to offset the re deployments from the main regional city. find thing has intensified in the neighboring homes province. the army has managed account minutes since, as long as he's on surrounding villages. russian aviation has provided by top splicing at the store entire strongholds, moscow. se, so that these $200.00 the hottest and several on that most have been destroyed over the past 24 hours alone. the on. so he's being led by the high it to where it was some sanction, formerly known as i'll call you the in syria is designated as a terrorist groups by

years with the support of his regular machines, nato, and oil and gas, ridge resumes, and the persian gulf. and a tell now they've always been speaking about how these freedom fighters and how the former syrian government that the how horrible they, they, they were. but now the ron is vindicated. everyone sees it. these people are not only genocidal. the people who've taken over syria, but they're proud of carrying out genocide. we're seeing footage coming out every day. just like these riley's outside and syria and i citizen, syria are just like this where the state, they're proud of their, of their terror. they take footage of themselves, killing people, the kids they take footage of themselves, bringing misery upon people. so for those who have been saying how great the ice isn't, ok there are. and how they are the legitimate opposition? i think uh they, they, they have to, they have 2 people across the world. and now seeing the reality of, of the argument that they've been making iran from day one was saying, what goes, what has the syrian government is, is far less valuable than the t

the old enough q 50 schools that express their interest as well as the the monica uses, all the persian gulf. we indicated our commitment in delaware readiness to help. so did turkey. under on eastern, on the go, our states know about the opportunities we have the are in contact with us, or if he's in damascus, it should a given that to mr. sure wrong that you said about all relations. i'm characterizing them as long term on strategic ones. so i believe that the new ceiling authorities will figure it out in what forms the us to know for a month. so would it be helpful for me to shift to the processes which are going on in syria for working this? so let me read to wait. we have close ties with the c o n people since says the soviet union ethic, when our state actively supported to the aspiration of the surrender, people to get rid of the french colonial is due for the years to come. we contributed greatly to re establish and economy industry, social fewer all this you in our republic. yep. thank you. this is generally speaking, we understand this from the each federal ship. that's the see whe

this has assured that our interests will be protected in the persian gulf region as we have done in the middle east and throughout the world. >> governor reagan, you have a minute to comment or rebut. governor reagan: i question the figure on the decline. i would call your attention that we were in a war that wound down during those eight years which of course made a difference in military spending because we were returning from war to peace. i would also like to point out that republican residents in those years were faced with a democratic majority in both houses of the congress. they found that their requests for the defense budget were often cut. gerald ford left a five-year projected plan for a military buildup to restore our defenses, and president carter's ministration reduce that by 38%. cut 60 ships out of the navy building program that had been proposed and stopped the v-one, delete the cruise missile, stopped the production line of the missile, delayed the trident submarine, and now he is planning a mobile military force that can be delivered to various spots in the world whi

streerz drones on the east coast is this possible satellite images showing iran massive hecare into persian gulfime spotted since leaving november 12, the most sophisticated group that surveilled america is china, i am giving drones are chinese they don't want to tell us the next question what are you doing about it their answer nothing your thoughts on drones? >> look i am a historian i haven't got a clue one of the weirdest things i have seen remember chinese sent a balloon the size of a school bus administration tried to hide it until spotted by some amateur photographer in montana, who knows what is going on? i do find the government incompetency this is, the government so kt i could have thousands of drones nobody would have a clue a commentary how much our government collapsed. >> for sure i won't go into what biden said earlier at democrat holiday party yesterday, said that, you know, any met predict aassessing ten you're are you better off today than four years ago he said absolutely in every fiber of my bone, true for him and hunter, just not true for anybody else. good point newt, grea

run, and a lot of bad guys killed off in hamas and hezbollah, and rebel forces in and around the persian gulf to season this and take advantage of this and his latest warning, ambassador, that there will be hell to pay if hamas doesn't release those hostages. how do you frame all of that? >> i think it's a really interesting moment and i'd agree with you, neil, some bad leaders have met a lot of sticky ends recently with probably more to come, but fundamentally, the sorts of movements like hamas and the events that give rise to them, they typically need a more political solution over time, but it is very interesting how all of these guys, iran's proxies, iran itself, even russia has told its people to leave syria. so i completely agree. we need to be ready to spot this opportunity and working together make something of it that collectively brings more peace and stability and security to the people of the middle east, including in israel and in gaza. neil: you know, ambassador, i remember when donald trump was running for president, again, that he was surprised that biden administration had li

as a major source of persian gulf oil, his regime grew to be a stronger u.s. interest. there were ominous signs that all is not well between him and his people. i remember coming to work and smelling the tear gas because there was some kind of rally or protest thing going on near the white house when the shah came. >> both the shah and i got tear gas and our wives did as well. there was a big demonstration against the shah by iranians who had come to the united states to get away from the shah's domineering dictatorship. >> that was the first time i said, these people are not going to leave that issue to them, they're going to bring it here. >> in just over a year the shah was overthrown in a violent revolution. in his place stepped a militant cleric, the ayatollah khamenei, and many americans were to get a taste for the first time of radical islam. when the shah exiled and sick with cancer begged to enter the u.s. for medical treatment, carter reluctantly agreed, but his compassion would carry a monumental price tag. the angry iranians breached the walls of the u.s. em

you get the vetoes and it's not until 19, 1991 with the persian first persian gulf war that a guy in america can take leadership. and then just about get the soviet union and chinese support that. so in many respects, the whole subject of issue of international organization in these big wars is fraught with how do you get a coalition? roosevelt tries to rectify that. and the korea in many respects is unique because of the particular political dynamics. 1952. and so i would say know one other point on 1919, i think know what happened at in versailles actually, a you know, a pretty significant influence on asia because wilsonian ism was influential in parts of asia including korea in know 1918 1919 because you know, a lot of people in asia believe that wilson was when he was talking about self-determining asian. he was talking about them. but he wasn't. but there were all of these delegations from various asian countries, went to visit and they were pretty much shunted aside. and that resulted a lot of disillusion and mistrust. you know, later on when sigmund becomes the president of s

on and shipped from treasure island and supported military activities in korea, vietnam and the persian gulfas listed for closure by the navy in 1993 and the city began a process in 1994 under the redevelopment agency, forming a citizens reuse committee to look at potentially plans for the island, island's future. after the base closed in 1997, the treasure island development authority was created to develop and implement a reuse plan. >> the navy has completed their environmental cleanup in that area and last week, the california department of public health issued a radiology unrestricted recommendation for that portion of side 12. it's a big milestone for the project. >> the treasure island development facility was setup to implement the master plan that was adopted by the board of supervisors in 2011. >> given the importance of housing in the city, both the affordable component and the market rate housing, we felt that it was important to review what the housing plan is at treasure island. >> the development facility and (indiscernible) that oversees the implementation of the master plan

a real disaster, such as in the 1980s when we shot down an iranian civilian airliner over the persian gulf. again, similar region, you know, basically on the other side of the arabian peninsula, that was an absolute disaster and should never have happened. and this could have been a much greater disaster than it than it is. >> yeah. i also want to talk to you about iran and what national security advisor jake sullivan has is saying about that. he spoke with cnn's fareed zakaria earlier, talking about what a weakened iran could mean, and if it could potentially go back to trying to get nuclear weapons. let's listen to this one of those things is if you're iran right now and you're looking around at the fact that your conventional capability has been reduced, your proxies have been reduced, your main client state has been eliminated. >> assad has fallen. it's no wonder there are voices saying, hey, maybe we need to go for a nuclear weapon right now. that is a real risk. it's a risk we are trying to be vigilant about now. it's a risk that i'm personally briefing the incoming team on. i was ju

geopolitical perspective, this really limits iran's options they can turn to some areas of the persian gulf little bit to iraq, but they no longer have this area in syria where they could not only test out their weapons systems, join forces with the syrians and with hezbollah but all of that has disappeared because of the tass, the hayat tahrir al-sham victory and and that of course, has made a huge difference from an iranian perspective. and it also impacts what russia is able to do in this area. and iran and russia are, of course allied with each other. but the russians, with two bases in northwestern syria, one an air base, the other a naval base, uh their control of those bases is now in question based on what has happened over the last 24 hours. >> and colonel, speaking of those bases, the u.s. does have a presence in syria. tell us about that we do have a full screen to show you where we have bases and troops, and it's also interesting to hear, you know, that you have president biden and president-elect trump on the same page when it comes to syria, because president biden has stated

are carrying out activities with the department of defense for which he received no money, the persian gulf. houthi missiles are delivered by ship and the navy can't board them so they call you. challenge us. give us the facts give us the truth give this the failure if we fail to budget it. that's our problem. i yield back. >> what a great finale. >> sir got it and support it. >> that brings us to an end of the spirit and concludes the hearing. we thank you for coming and presenting and answering questions. we just want to get ships built. that's all we want to do. if you ask is will get the money for you. thank you so much. meeting adjourned.

which is this in the run up to the persian gulf war? he wrote letters. >> i know about this to all of our allies and to arab states, asking them to abandon their cooperation and coalition with the united states of america. >> if it's not treasonous, it's borderline treasonous. and so i hear what you're saying about the humanitarianism. but when you're an ex-president and you have served in that office, i think you have a duty to the united states and only to the united states. and when he did that and other instances, to me, it showed that he cared more about his own legacy than he did about the country. and i think that is wrong. >> and i respect that. but i just want to remind you, a decent man, i think i think that's what it really comes down to. >> he stood on principle, whether you agree with it or not, whether the president agreed with it or not, whether the party agreed with it or not, he stood on principle and that's how he lived his life. he represented a political swing of the pendulum from the most corrupt administration we'v
