the former acting secretary of defense shanahan prompted a memo governing the committee's access to certain documents, including executive orders. the memo stated the trump administration would determine which material should be provided to congress based on whether the quest contains sufficient information to demonstrate a relationship to a legislative function. i think we make that determination, not the department of defense. tensions often exist between the executive and legislative branches, regardless of political party. as duly elected officials, this committee understands what information is necessary to conduct congressional oversight. we are judicious in the number of requests we make to the department, we rigidly control and protect the sensitivity of information provided to us for oversight instances. second, the department must keep congress informed of major developments. for example, on may 5, the president's national security advisor announced the u.s. was to carry a strike root and bomber task force. in response to a number of troubling escalations involving iran. the secre

former acting secretary of defense shanahan recently promulgated a memo governing the committee's access to certain documents regarding executive orders. the memo stated that the trump administration would determine which materials should be provided to congress based on whether the request contained sufficient information to demonstrate a relationship to a legislative function. i think we make that determination, not the department of defense. tensions often exist between the executive and legislative branches, regardless of political parties. however, as duly elected officials this committee understands what information is necessary. we are judicious in the number of requests we make to the department and rigidly control and protect the sensitivity of the information provided to us. for oversight purposes. second, the department must keep congress fully and currently informed of major military developments. for example, on may 5th, the president's national security adviser announced that the u.s. was deploying a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to centcom. in response to a

the then deputy defense secretary patrick shanahan admitted we never expected to pass. donald trump says he's a savvy businessman, yet his attitude towards the pentagon is that of an parent, we love and need our military and gave them everything and more he tweeted. far from bringing defense spending into a system, he's simply open the piggy bank while at the same time trying to slash spending on almost every other government agency. the much deeper danger, however, is spotlighted by jessica tuck m. she points out we think about defense budgets in a fundamentally erroneous way tieing it to gdp but the budget should be related to the threats the country faces, not the size of the economy. if a country's gdp grows by 30% she writes, it has no reason to spend 30% more to the military to the contrary unless threats worsen, you expect over time defense spending is a percentage of a growing economy should decline. the united states faces a world influx to be sure but surely not a more dangerous world enduring the cold wore. it now spends more than the next ten countries in th

and patrick shanahan took over. since january, we have seen how that changed in recent days. we have mark esper taking over. it does come at an interesting time in leadership. it is interesting to think of what mattis would do if he had been at d.o.d. >> he slow rolled it. >> i do think this will play differently in large swaths of the country where a lot of his supporters and a lot of other americans maybe will look at us and say, what are they talking about? he just wants this -- he wants to celebrates america and the might of america. and i think we in this town focus on the 2.5 million which is a tiny amount of money and focus on other things. i think it will play differently. >> that is such an important point. you are talking rightly and what is precedent and maybe the intent of the founders with regard to how we celebrate these things. but there are a lot of people who are saying, right on, mr. president. >> absolutely. >> you are doing exactly what we should be doing, which is celebrating and showing the world america's military might. you have a great piece on cnn.co

defense secretary mark esper and the secretary of the army before trump picked him after patrick shanahan's resignation. the top officer, general joe dunford will be in attendance. it's notable that none of the four service chiefs will be attending, a spokesman said the four top officers for the army, navy, air force and marines couldn't attend because of previous commitments. but there will be a massive show of force in the air that prompted the skies to be clear. some are complaining about the cost of this massive display. the pentagon will not december close. the b-2 stealth bomber alone here cost over 120,000 a flight hour and will be flown in pr missouri. the two tanks will be brought to the mall and be on display tomorrow, trace. >> trace: the blue angels are there, it's worth watching. thanks, lucas. ever catch the wrong bus or train? not really a big deal, right? it's a much bigger problem when it comes to a plane. how a teenager almost ended up in a country that he wasn't planning to visit and the response from the airline. first a final good-bye to luis alvarez. limu's right. libe

. >> i want to raise a topic that i raised with then acting secretary shanahan about dod expenditures at trump branded properties. in response to my question to him, the department provided a list of expenditures by civilian and uniform department of defense personnel at trump properties between january 20th, 2017 and june 14th, 2017. the total is about $147,000. during just those six months, the pentagon spent over $36,000 at the trump national golf club in palm beach, over $35,000 at the trump hotel, las vegas, over $16,000 at the trump hotel, trump ocean club panama, among many other lodging and restaurant expenses at trump properties. i know you're not a lawyer, but you no doubt understand the emoluments clause for bids the president receiving money from these type of expenditures by government personnel that enrich him as owner of those properties. i would like commitment from you that you will provide all additional information about official expenditures at these properties from 2017 to the present. and that you will commit to providing additional information about the purpose

there was the acting defense secretary guy, patrick shanahan. they were almost secretaries like andy puzder all the press secretaries and communications directors he's gone through and the other senior white house staff and various scandals and blowouts. today when alex acosta became the -- what is it, 11th, 12th, 13th trump cabinet official to resign in disgrace or scandal or extravagant vulgar melodramatic conflict with the president? he was following a well trod path just his job, remember alex acosta only got the job in the first place after trump's first pick for the job, that guy, was derailed by the emergence of the videotape of his wife in a disguise on the oprah show talking about being battered by her husband. i mean, the worst thing that ever happened involving any non-imprisoned cabinet or would be cabinet official in any presidency would rank by 12th or 13th in terms of potency in the trump cabinet. the scandal that took alex acosta's job is one that is not over his role in securing a lenient non-prosecution agreement for the wealth

the then deputy defense secretary, patrick shanahan, admitted we never expected to pass. donald trump says he's a savvy businessman, yet his attitude towards the pentagon is that of an in dull gentlemen parent. we love and need our military and give them everything and more he tweeted proudly last year. far from bringing defense spending into some rational system, he has simply opened the piggy bank, while at the same time trying to slash spending on almost every other government agency. the much deeper danger, however, is shot lighted by jessica matthews in a sub esh essay in the review. she points out we think about defense budgets in a fundmentry erroneous way, tying it to gdp. but the defense budget should be related to the threats the country faces, not the size of its economy. if a country's gdp grows by 30%, it has no reason to spend 30% more on its military. to the contrary, unless threats worsen, you would expect that over time defense spending of a growing economy should decline. the united states faces a world in flux to be sure. but surely not a more dangerous

candidly in the last year or two, we've seen more guidelines in the last couple of weeks, secretary shanahanout a memo reminding people that the military is apolitical. fourth of july is not typically a military holiday where you see military leaders spread throughout the country involved in these kind of activities. since the parade, the first of the planning, when we first hurts mention of the parade there has been concern from military leaders here at the pentagon that this could become a political rally that would be awkward for the military leaders there and the military involved. defense officials we've spoken with this week that they're assured that president trump, his speech is less than 20 minutes. he will speak about four minutes about each service. there's some belief that he wants the joint chiefs -- for the most part it will be vice chiefs who will be here. that he wants each individual representative at some point to come up and stand with them when they're reviewing their aircraft. when he's talking about them or whatever. but there is some concern that in fact that could loo

you will probably remember that patrick shanahan was president trump's original pick. mr. old, says that his top priority is the welfare of the men and women in the military and the department of defense. those comments ongoing right now. there will be a 21-gun salute as well. again, the new defense secretary, mark esper, making his comments right now at the pentagon. we'll keep an eye on that. >>> also this morning, new face media giant has agreed to pay a record $5 billion fine for privacy violations. it is the largest ftc fine ever levied against a tech company. on top of that facebook must also create an independent privacy oversight board. ceo mark zuckerberg will be required to provide quarterly reports and what the company is doing to protect our data, along with other oversight steps, but the settlement is creating bipartisan criticisms. they say they do not go enough for holding the company accountable. let's talk about it with cyber security analyst, alex stamos, who is also a former facebook officer. derrick thomas, staff writer with the atlantic, always enjoy y

we saw how difficult it was for the military and also for then acting secretary patrick shanahan with the issue with the uss mccain came up. >> and a fascinating contrast with the democrats out on the trail doing the usual fourth of july thing which we have all done. running behind the candidate along a parade route where it is all about interacting on a one-on-one level with americans. and i think that it is problematic for trump in the sense that these are the optics especially with we're going to have a protest float flying overhead, the baby trump float, these are the kinds of optics that remind people of what they don't like about him. that need for sort of self-glorification and to look like a big world power when everyone knows we are a huge world power. so i think it is an interesting thing to contrast to watch. >> but you're point, alice, we don't know, he might actually be very restrained and be very modest and it might be a lovely celebration and not my country tis of me. >> true. and that would be reason for celebration right there. if that is the way it is. i'm going to b

then acting patrick shanahan quit in june. courtney kube following the developments from the pentagon. and jeffrey mccaffrey. there are those so frustrated it has taken so long to get a defense secretary in place. how do you see this confirmation process going for esper? >> people think he will slide through this confirmation. it's possible he will get voted, confirmed and sworn in this week. then they can start working on the other more than a dozen open slots for political appointees, including esper's number two. that he wants the deputy secretary of defense. we could see a nominee on that as early as next week. so far this hearing has not had a whole lot of fireworks. we expect mark esper who is the army secretary as he is awaiting confirmation, we expect him to get questions on things like tensions with iran. we expect him to get questions on personnel issues like the ongoing back and forth about whether transgender individuals can openly serve in the military. and we did have -- we have one interesting back and forth wit

his own election and what he's done for the country, we saw how even acting secretary of defense shanahannded some soldiers who were wearing maga hats going back to what chris was saying, this is not the protocol, they are not supposed to be political, those who serve in the military. so this is something -- he did it in front of the boy scouts as well so something he's done repetitively over the past two years. >> history suggests, quickly, whatever his plan is, if there is one, there is a speech written on the teleprompter, he gets up in front of a big crowd and what is the first thing -- look at this crowd. the biggest crowd. and all of the media. academy awards. so even if the plan, and that is what is coming out of the white house, it is not a political speech, when you ask yourself if you've seen donald trump give a speech that didn't have -- if not politics in it, the celebration of self. >> it is interesting, brian lizza, that the republican national committee have received vip tickets to attend this event, the president's re-election campaign has received special tickets. the dem

brutal injury-free took a hit while scrambling how days though both rob lowe and head coach kyle shanahanng a greater emphasis on win. and when not to run. >>when we never just look to scramble, here's why got to throw in quarterback and looks on the field has got lot of people but you never tell a guy not to scramble because other options that they're getting it. so no one's open in on sack and you know i loved what i saw today because no one was open the seas parted and he turn it into a draw and as with those and exciting play. >>and now to the raiders who also rocks at the full set of equipment this morning in napa we heard from several of the new faces on the defensive side of the ball, including brandon marshall played 6 seasons in denver, one a super bowl. now the veteran trying to turn around a union that only generated in nfl low 13 sacks last year. >>announced his will to the expectations only to the super bowl. so said those standards expectations. we not just win the division not just make the playoffs. now we want to also need to for the and i guess on where they live. >>49 e

as you know since i've been in the senate acting defense shanahan and dunford set up a task force very quickly to add additional improvements to the judicial process while retaining the role of the commander with 17 out of 18 provisions for my bill in the ndaa but there's more than needs to be done to stop this from happening so can i get your commitment you will continue to work with me on this? love to hear your perspective on the prevention side and the impact of readiness and the importance of the role of the commander. >> thank you senator thank you for your efforts as a leader it is unconscionable and it is fratricide soldier on soldier and blue on blue situation pick what has incredible effects it is a cancer within the organization we have to crush it. personally i think the solution lies with the commanders and further empowerment of commanders into the training to make sure they understand good order and discipline so i think the empowerment of the commanders to hold them accountable on this readiness piece it is devastating that there is sexual assault that could bring that

katie shanahan went to meet her. this is hollie dodd.is going all the way! i went to meet hollie and her dad to find out more about rugby league's rising star. i'd never even touched a rugby ball before, until year 7 and then people, my pe staff, were telling me to get down to rugby and i just fitted in straightaway, really. i haven't always been in rugby league. i used to be a ballroom dancer when i was younger but then, around about five years ago, i started watching and playing rugby and i've been watching finals and things ever since. what a contrast between sports. i just can't believe where we're at today, compared to where we were when we were going out buying dance dresses, dance shoes and stuff like that. now we have about 50 rugby balls in our garage at home. from tango to tackles and sparkles to studs, hollie's castleford coach thinks she is one in a million. she's undoubtedly the best 16—year—old i've seen. i have been involved in this sport a very long time, and for me she is an absolute silent assassin. she's classy, she's

states dissent is patriotic >>> sworn in as acting secretary last month, taking over for patrick shanahanwho abruptly resigned amidst ethic questions. >>> taiwan preparing for the first typhoon of the season there, expected to hit the island tonight airlines canceled domestic flights and authorities have issued warnings about flooding that's the cnbc news update at this hour. see you next hour, hopefully god willing, producinger willin >> yes, you will. >>> i apologize, cobbler's kids go barefoot. should have explained that and made a tortured relationship but let's move on. once bitten, twice shy people are cautious after they had been burned on something the relationship of the volatility index, implied volatility and realized volatility, which means the actual movement of the markets what you see here in orange is that the market has gotten a lot more calm, right you've seen the step-down in day-to-day movement. you haven't had a 1% move in quite some time. yet the volatility index, based on trader's pricing of defensive options, that's not gone down as much we're bleeding down to 13 t

know, when general mattis was there they did a good job of managing up, when it's acting director shanahanas there, i don't think there will be a lot of managing up. >> general mccaffrey, lastly to you i'll ask you to do an exercise in empathy there and what do you think he was thinking and not having a secretary of defense and how much does that matter? not having that civilian pushback perhaps against an event like this one? >> well, you know, traditionally the secretary of state, treasury and defense are all grand men or women of the republic. they're older, their gravity as, and we've lost that, and much of the government's significant spots are acting as low-level people and i think that makes the armed forces a giant enterprise, uncomfortable. there are only two civilians that give instructions to the armed forces, not the jcs. it's the president as commander in chief and the secretary of defense, and by the way, mike esper is about to be knocked out of the box also. they'll have to go to another acting senator if the senate doesn't confirm him. it's a very uncomfortable situation. h

last month patrick shanahan withdrew his name from consideration to be defense secretary.gone, so has john kelly, sean spicer, jeff sessions, am rosa, the list goes on and on. hans nichols, let me turn to you, he covers the white house here for us at nbc news, learning more about what led to the departure of acosta yesterday. walk us through what we know so far. there was the press conference that took place at the labor department earlier. consensus seemed to be that that had bought him some time. >> the consensus seems to be it was a passing grade, he spoke on wednesday trying to explain what he did in the 200le plea agreement. what surprised me about this departure, is that listed the speed with which it happened. because we woke up yesterday morning, alex acosta, no hint that he would be coming out with the president, when the president walked out on to the south lawn he had acosta with him. my first thought this is a show of support. this means that the president is doubling down. i asked the first question of the president, how he thought acosta did. he praised him.

as you know, since i've been in the senate, acting secretary of defense shanahan and chairman dunford set up a task force swiftly working with me to add additional improvements to the investigation and judicial process while retaining the role of the commander and we got 17 of 18 provisions from my bill in the ndaa. that was a good start. there's more that needs to be done to stop this from happening. can i get your commitment in your new role you will continue to work with me on this? would love to hear your perspective on what we need to be doing on the prevention side to stop this from happening, the impact on readiness and the important of the role of the commander? >> thanks, senator. and i personally want to thank you for your efforts as a leader in this particular area. sexual assault is a crime and it is frattry side, soldier on soldier, blue on blue sort of situation and has incredible second and third order effects. it's cancer within an organization and we have to crush it. i personally think the solution lies with the commanders and the further empowerment of commanders an

dr mark shanahan is a lecturer in politics and international relations at the university of reading and in a few months anyway and this is after being in the foreign office since 1976, so he has a long and distinguished career and our government should make sure that a private conversation doesn‘t lead him to having to ascend his service. ido him to having to ascend his service. i do think the fallout is going to be from this? we have had the sound and fury, we have had the tweets from donald trump, i guess that was predictable. what would the longer term impact be? longer term, probably very little. this will be a storm in a tiny teacup. essentially the relationship between the uk and the us is multilateral, it happens at many levels stop the prime relationship that diplomats have are with the department of the state, so rather than the white house all the time stop trump will find something else to vent his fury against, probably very quickly, and the diplomatic cycle will go and largely unchanged. what we must make sure it is all our diplomats have the freedom to speak truth to power
