that foments so so and so just want to put that out there so 1st of all there has always been a space force it was a branch they don't call it that though it was a branch of the air force it was called u.s. space command so this is been going on so for now to say this is trump's space force is like that's not the it's not proper reckoning of the historical timeline not only that because it preexisted within the air force it's at least for now mostly an accounting shift of activities that $15000000000.00 was already being spent on the space. efforts within the air force now it's in the open clear so so want to make that clear something that you could have known but if you're deep in that deep in the in the in the liberal trenches you're not looking far enough out to see all that's what's actually happening here another one on the dance defense innovation board and that i know and you know yeah that's right so what not only that the 947. 2 years after 2nd world war what happens here in the united states we decided you know something the u.s. army air force maybe they should split out the air

intelligence element to join the intelligence community was the intelligence area of the j2 of the space force -- >> right. >> talk a little bit more, though, about this space competition that's underway now in relationship to these adversaries. >> so space is the new and highest frontier, if you will, in the great power competition. and this is where china and russia are essentially working together, where the -- the enemy of my enemy is my friend. and they realized that this is an area where the united states currently doesn't really have a near peer adversary. and china and russia, they are working together, if you will, they both really recognize that what they have to do is be in a position to disrupt and influence the united states' space capabilities. so what do i mean by that is what people don't really appreciate, david, is how, for instance, satellite technology influences every aspect of american life, everything from transportation to telecommunications to finance to agriculture. and so what you see are the russians and the chinese developing ways to interfere with our satellite ca
