our committee structure you have a committee that senate armed services committee and senate armed services and appropriations committee, the need for them to come together have more coherence. there's also a challenge there and, you will probably talk about that you talked about a lot though. very frankly the erosion of state department authorities especially after 911. they need to rethink as administration of executive branch how do you integrate your efforts? finally how to integrate the efforts between congress and the administration? that is hard work because it is legislation. legislation is sometimes difficult to get through. the final other points and i think this can be done but still requires legislation. all of these trouble spots we are talking about our trouble in their own ways. you've got to be close to the ground to have the empathy and the deep analysis to get back to washington state what is the central problem here? but so much of what goes out to our nbcc teams is the stove pipe extreme line end up with the ambassadors who don't have a lot of flexibility in order to hav

well spring i'll republican senator joni ernst member of the senate armed services committee.much for giving us a little bit of your sunday afternoon. we really appreciate it. you had a chance to get a little clip of president biden in the interview talks about reform. which has been elusive we can say that is also touting 1500 troops that will essentially be tasked with administrative tasks to free a border patrol agency also notes the additional asylum judges which are part of the effort to move things along. what do you make of these measures being undertaken right now? >> your absolute right, molly. it is a little too late. i do support allowing those 1500 active-duty troops to go to the border. but that does not solve the problem it is not a permanent solution. we absolutely need a border patrol agents. we need more k-9 units at our ports of entry to search for fentanyl. we need enter agency task force to combat the fentanyl and illicit drug trafficking that is coming into the united states. do you need to reform the immigration system. but how can we do that with assuran

our committee structure as a senate armed services committee and the foreign relations committee and the appropriations committee. the need for them to come together and have a more coherent administration site. it is also a challenge there where you will probably talk about that and we talk about it a lot. but frankly, the erosion of the state department authorities, especially after 9/11, and the need to rethink as an administration or an executive branch. how do you integrate your efforts, and finally, how do you integrate the efforts between congress and the administration. that is hard work because it is legislation. legislation is sometimes difficult to get through. finally, i think this can be done, but it requires legislation. all of these trouble spots we are talking about our troubled in their own way. you have to be close to the ground in order to have the empathy and the deep analysis to get back to washington and ask what the central problem is. but with our embassies, what goes out is stovepipe and streetlight -- streamlined, and they don't have a lot of flexibility. th

and general mcmaster, in a statement before the senate armed services committee and a hearing march,anies on the stock exchange and my information was 2020 about a thousand companies listed on the stock exchange january 9 of this year yet i think one of the reasons is we said every two years. i would like to see that go down to one year. our asset managers, you have the largest asset managers in the world that probably a bunch of us in this room may have our retirement funds with of them makes the statement this is the best place to invest in the next 20 years is china. this is very concerning because all of you this evening have made a statement that we've got to stop investing. we have to decouple our investments so that we can slow down the rate of growth and compete with us and here we have one of the largest asset management in the world but says that's where we need to put our money. how would you suggested that we detour them. that's where my colleague was going a minute ago. how do you suggest we detour them from saying that and investing in china? mr. mcmaster were mr. potti

the senate armed services committee, we need a vote to that these people can move to their next posts and do their jobs. in a moment i'll be asking the senate to confirm calendar number 199. if confirmed, this nominee would be deputy commander for air force materiel command which employs nearly 86,000 military and civilian airmen and manages a $71.3 billion budget. she is also a momma. she calls her kids the three musketeers and says they are the center of her universe. these holds are the hardest on military families who are trying to figure out how to sign up for new schools, trying to establish their lives in their next deployment. this nominee has already moved 17 times during her career. and she is now held by the senator from alabama, cannot move to her next deployment, cannot establish herself and three musketeers, get them settled in school, get her family in the place where they will be so that she can do her job for the american people. we need people with decades of logistics management experience, and we need to treat them with some respect. mr. president, i renew my reque

senate subcommittee on strategic forces. >> called to order the meeting of the strategic forces subcommittee of the senate committee of armed services. our hearing today is on the subject of the space force. i want to thank general salzman for being with us today before this committee and the purpose of the hearing is to understand your vision and priorities for the space force as its second chief of space operations. while the budget for the department of defense and space force has just been released, we plan to have a space budget hearing which includes the space force later in may after we have had time to understand in detail the president budget request. there are many complicated topics such as missile warning and launch that will take time to understand and are not right for this hearing today, but we will take up in may. instead the hearing will focus on you, general. this is your opportunity to explain to the subcommittee and the public how you will train and equip the space force as the department of defense separate military service and be a presenter of forces to the combatant commanders in order to accomplish their mis

i quoted john kerry before when he went before the senate arms service committee. he asked, who is going to be the last soldier to die for vietnam? i forget the exact words. but we know, these mass shootings are going to continue in schools, tragically, david, until, some point, republicans or else voters are going to continue this backlash on abortion and guns. >> it'll start with voters. republicans have too much at stake in this sick gun culture that has developed. it is going to take a popular rebellion. people are just going to have to say, i can't stand it anymore. i can't live like this. i can't get up worrying my child will go to school and face this kind of violence. you know, if i go to -- if my wife goes for a medical appointment -- to take the facts of the most recent case. some person who has a mental issue will walk in with a gun and start shooting. i can't live like that. >> no. >> no. >> people say, i can't do it, then maybe you have the political movement and power that will frighten republican. it'll take fear to get them off of this. >> it needs

we've heard from senator shaheen, from senator warren, others on the armed services committee arguingeral and flag officers, hundreds of general and flag officers who cannot be promoted, and it's affecting national security. donna. >> well, the threat to national security is a real one. when you can't have the military promotions allowing service members to transition from one duty station to the next duty station, that is really impacting our national security, and so tuberville is an outlier here. i mean, look, he has held up issues regarding the military around transgender rights, around abortion and other gynecological care, and then of course these statements on identifying with white nationalists. and i think this is one of the faults, you know, david and i both come from the house, but the fact that one senator can be -- stand in the by of our national security interests is unconscionable, and so, you know, look, i'm in favor of the senate of mitch mcconnell who's also already expressed his concern about military readiness with tuberville's hold, and you know, the senate has to

senators voicing support for house speaker kevin mccarthy's debt limit deal that was yesterday, joining me right now man eric schmitt a member armed services joint economic commerce science transportation committeesee you, you are voicing support for this bill, but will chuck schumer bring it to the floor for a vote? >> we will see showing no indication doing that all he is doing standing up there you know, howling at the wind using fiery rhetoric he doesn't have a plan joe biden completely absent president united states completely absent needs to get to the table obvious very serious issue, this day janet yellen identified whether he political motivated or not coming up in a few weeks, so this is, obviously, very serious issue, the president needs to show leadership and start negotiating with speaker mccarthy. >> seem like the house is only one, doing anything, about this, kevin mccarthy has been pushing to meet with this president, to talk about spending limits, and look what you have in the senate. a senate budget hearing on the house gop debt ceiling bill calling it the default on america act. blackmail brinksmanship billionaire backroom deals how does chuck schumer come up with the new name

with that, we bring in senator to the compton, a member of the armed services committee.ave you with us. what struck you in there today going through that hearing? quite a lot that stood out to me. i'm curious what landed with you. >> martha, one thing that the hearing brought home today is how much more aggressive russia has gotten not just in ukraine but against the united states. you and your viewers remember when russia's jet intercepted one of our drones over the black sea and forced it down. the head of the air force command in the middle east has said that they've become extremely aggressive with their aircraft in syria like they're spoiling for a fight. our commander in europe said he's never seen so much sub activity in the atlantic. the reason for this, every time they become more aggressive, joe biden gets more timid and hesitant. in the black sea, we're no longer flying in the international airspace once we were flying. all that does is teach vladimir putin that if he pushes the envelope, joe biden will back up further. that is dangerous in europe and the midd

senators about how this affects women in the military? >> so i'm not only a veteran and obviously a woman and a mother, but i also serve on the armed services committeewithin the armed services committee the military personnel subcommittee. it's in my direct line of responsibility to think about these issues. and i have joined those senators and -- i'm sorry, folks who supported making sure that women have access to travel and have access to the ability to take the time off that they need to be able to seek health care that they can't find in the places that they are stationed. when you serve in the military, you serve, and you don't choose where you get to go. so it's really important that we support these women and their choices to make sure that they can travel to places where they can avail themselves of the health care that they deserve. >> how does this affect military readiness? how will this affect it if these blocks continue? >> sure. it's multidimensional. it affects the live and service of the person we're talking about. it affects the willingness of people to be able to continue to serve. we have an all-volunteer was, as you might recall.

the republican and democrat leader of the armed services committee in the senate and in the house work together. every year for 50 years, we have passed without fail the ndaa, the national defense pact and they will do it again this year. they're working on it now. that is the good news, that you will have the leaders of the two parties the house and the senate. and i think appropriations by the way ladies, for the first time in history, the top women -- the top members of the proportions committees, democrat and republican, house and senate, are all women. and they're good. [applause] i think they are going to get this job done. i was talking to susan collins recently and i said how are you going to get this done? she said in june we are going to take the pills one by one. that's the way you do it. you just start taking them up and you stick with it until you get them done. i think they may get the appropriations bills done this year instead of one of these huge on the best bills or continued resolutions just continuing at the current level which is right dangerous. so there is good n

that view, echoed, apparently, by senator tommy tuberville, and alabama republican, who sits on the armed services committeeview. they complain about paragon efforts to keep extremists out of the military. >> we are losing in the military so fast, our readiness in terms of recruitment. and why? i can tell you why. because the democrats are attacking our military, saying we need to get out the weight extremists, the white nationalist, the people that don't believe in our agenda, as joe biden's agenda. there are destroying it. >> you mentioned the biden administration trying to prevent white nationalists from being in the military. do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military? >> well, they call them that. i call them americans. >> i call them americans. the office tends to do a bit of cleanup, trying to clarify is being skeptical of the notion that there is white nationalists in the military, not that they should be in the military. even though, as you heard the senator deliberately say that. an opinion columnist for the new york times, his most recent column, fantastically titled, a g

senator. >> mister secretary, welcome to the committee. one of the issues, i serve on both armed services in this committee is the transition. it seems to me, even that we have made great progress, we are still not there. what i would like to get from you is some thoughts about how we can make this a warmer handoff, if you will. the data suggest that that transition, that 2 to 3-year transition after the reactive duties a moment of danger. so i wondered if you had thoughts on how we might be able to make this a more effective process in order to protect our veterans. >> i think your instinct is exactly correct. in my view, a talked about this -- we are looking at this a lot. i worry sometimes that we think the answer is to overload the transition. the cat program. >> handing a veteran a 300-page form is not the answer. >> right. as you know i'm not of that but i have -- found jobs, leaving the white house, i had to sign a lot of different things. i was not gonna go to any extra thing that i didn't want to go to. so, we think very strongly is we need to set our programming and our opportun
