what is needed is not only a reform of the defense department but several other agencies as well. including the state department formple. untill we realize is general just point out the chinese and the russians are clearly engaged with us inc asymmetric ways, we might not have a kinetic contest with them. although it is possible that we might. we are in a contest and all other aspects of culture and society. we are showing ourselves to be slow in making decisions and slow in understanding the national debt is part of our difficulties. the last balanced budget occurred during the clinton administration. ever since then we've been going in the wrong direction in termst of how we spend our dollars and what we get for it. i think the book is very timely and a very useful reference to understanding the magnitude of the problem. the 1997 we tried to, and we did write a plan for the pentagon secretaries been able to take this on as the -- one of the primary missions may be because there is so much else going on but it captures their attention. the problem has only gotten worse and it's very incumbent upon our public, are

hope of a new approach for the united states, a new generation so it's natural for me to look at getting drunk in public service for all the reasons i just described. the defenseent then and now had a particular compelling program that was called presidential management intern, now a fellows program. dod was well known to have one of the best programs and i hope that's still true today. people view it that way today, you had opportunity to move around and try different things, especially two-year trainingg programs to be able to civil service and be used really well no matter what level you were, for reputation was few could be brought in and just do great work and that's how i in and as a career years, it found even though i was young and female and did not come myself with the operational background, i have not served in theal military, there's a lot to overcome, i will whitewash that but if you could demonstrate your merit so you could do good work on the changes work, they need to work so you could do really interesting things and that's what brought me to you and cap me here for so long. >> so it wasn't easy being a civilian -- >> no. >> could you describ

government special inspector general blasted both the state and defense departments for withholding informationso this is both -- not both, biden, trump and obama about warning signs that could have predicted what took place. have you found the pentagon and state department, generally speaking, transparent, cooperative, when you've had hearings or participated in hearings? >> i applaud the ig, the watchdog's efforts here and they have been withholding information. they haven't been transparent with congress. not just in the last summer as you and i have talked a lot about but also for the last, shoot -- >> 20 years? >> maybe 20 years, right? and we need a candid assessment of that just like with the evacuation. it's important. i've asked my chairman and ranking member to hold a full investigation on this. we've had some hearings. but i hired a former cnn reporter to do our investigation into what happened last summer. how did it get so wrong, as you said on air? how did this whole thing get so wrong where we left so many americans behind, so many of our afghan partners behind that are certainly

to think it was an alliance within an alliance for the 1st time since the very creation of nature, 2 of its members, states have signed their own defense, marked the greek parliament yesterday ratified a deal with france for the 1st time and explicit an unequivocal military assistance calls is provided in the case of a 3rd party attack on one of the 2 states. we all know who's threatening whom were the cause for war in the eastern mediterranean. so they exist in nature obligations of greece and france already made them military allies in the event of an attack originating from outside the blank, but with greece and turkey. currently at loggerheads of a territory in the eastern mediterranean, athens has sought additional support. but speaking earlier this week, native trees outline his opposition to such deals. what i don't believe in his efforts to try to do something outside the native framework or compete with or duplicate nato because nato remains the cornerstone in the bedrock for european security. and also actually for north american security, while the new park stays the fast between member states, it's not the only defense deal

important for the department of defense but in a broader context we need to have either a reallocation of some of the resources or additional resources that goes to the department of education. for the statesnd the communities to the nonprofit organizations that are out there that are trying to elevate this atissue and to root out this cae as well as again we talk about a whole of government we need to have a whole of country approach as well because most so many things can start at that local allevel. our families and communities and schools so when we are talking about resources we need to be thinking about that as well. those folks will end up in the military but if we've already educated them and got them in a position to where they are not going to be susceptible, we have achieved a monumental goal at that point and have gone a long way to diminish the role of extremism in the military. >> if i may add one other important area if you look at january 6th insurrection it's alarming. i see different numbers anywhere from 16% to 20% of those at the prior military experience. studies have shown the attraction of these organizations as it gives veterans who now have left the military, the s

khan for strengthening pakistan's defenses, for ensuring pakistan became a nuclear state in the late90s. you have to understand how important pakistan's own understanding of itself comes from being a nuclear state. because of neighboring india, its much-reviled neighbor, was heading toward becoming a nuclear state late in the '90s. 1998, pakistan became a nuclear state, and that was because, according to many pakistanis, according to the efforts of dr. a.q. khan. he his a complicated legacy internationally because back in 2009, 2004, the u.s. state department had accused him of heading a vast proliferation network, assisting north korea, libya, as well as iran, for getting nuclear assistance. this had marred pakistan's reputation as being not a very reliable nuclear country. however, you know, with the fact that he had been under house arrest, then even after being taken out of house arrest, he was under surveillance by pakistani security agencies for his own security as well as fears he might share pakistan's nuclear secrets. and he's expected to get a state funeral today in pakista

that is whether the united states let's forget the department of defense for a minute but the united states is in a tranny of decline. in our history the world history empires have risen and fallen for two reasons. one, they rise because they have a good system. they have their economy is balanced. and they are able to pay for what they want to achieve. economically. but they fall for two reasons. one is external conquest and the other is internal collapse. that's one of the things that people who are watching the united states closely fear might be happening in our own country. so the fact that general penn or his book the ever shrinking fighting force is out there is a reminder that within the construct of our entire fabric of our society the defense department plays an important role but in this day and age it's not the only role so one of the things that concerns me is our inability to not only make our case of sounding the alarm as you will to our public and our members of congress and our leadership but to actually formulate a strategic vision for where we want to be in the futu

republicans are going to try to have the states to new seats for themselves. but they have to play defense as well. 95% of texas population gained was non- white in the past decade on a net basis. what that means is republicans have a lot of seats particularly in the suburbs that are becoming more competitive. at the 23 seats republicans currently hold, nine of them are districts where president biden got more than 47% of the vote in 2020. republicans first priority is to be sure those districts episode democrats cannot win them in 2022 or down the line in the next decade. in order to do that, they may have to draw a new democratic district in the city of austin. currently, austin is split effectively at six different ways. republicans are going to attempt to make their own incumbents safer. one easy way to do that would be by drawing that new democratic district. but we are also seeing republicans have gained strength in the rio grande valley. we solve big swings toward dalton between 2016 at 2020 and counties along the mexico border. and republicans may try to make some of those seats an

state solution. there is no conceivable reason why anyone in this chamber, on either side of the aisle, should stand in the way of u.s. support for this lifesaving defense to be fully ready for the next attack. i strongly urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join the house of representatives in passing this funding on a broadly bipartisan effort. so therefore, madam president, i ask unanimous consent that at a time to be determined by the majority leader, following consultation with the republican leader, the senate proceed to the consideration of calendar number 140, h.r. 5323, that there be up to two hours for debate, that upon the use or yielding back of time, the bill be considered read a third time and the senate vote on passage of the bill without intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. paul: madam chairwoman, madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: reserving the right to object, i join the chairman of the foreign relations committee in being supportive iron dome, but i think it should be paid for. i think the american taxpayer dollars that pay for it should come

well, so the analysis is especially important not just for people in government or the benefits of the state department and the department of defense and so forth in the administration but also to the media, for example. they translated documents and procurement contracts and they were the ones that broke the story on the internment camps so there is a role for this kind of trance analysis that the media does. >> i appreciate you highlighting this issue as well and becoming more and more important and talked about as we talk about what is happening in china. the other thing that's been on the agenda is the olympics in this decision of what to do with a full boycott, a diplomatic boycott, letting u.s. athletes compete. but when you thought about the olympics what do you think about the united states and how it should approach that issue in china for next year? >> i chair the subcommittee on international development and so i convened a meeting with the u.s. olympic committee and the and notional committee too long ago maybe five weeks ago and asked them some of these questions about the upcoming olympics and specifically being mindf

for these applicants to get that status and then to leave afghanistan? secretary kahl: so the state department is in the lead for the s.i.v. issue. to the degree they need assistance from the department of defense to verify employment, we set up a project called project rabbit to streamline the data and make sure we can make that process as efficient as possible. senator hirono: thank you, mr. chairman. chairman reed: thank you, senator hirono. senator fischer, please. senator fischer: last month generals milley and mckenzie both testified on the challenges of conducting over-the-horizon counterterrorism strikes against targets in afghanistan. unlike other places in the world, where we conduct over-the-horizon c.t. operations, afghanistan is land locked. we have no reliable partners on the ground, and we don't have any agreements with neighboring countries. secretary kahl, in the months since secretary austin, general milley, and general mckenzie testified, have we secured any basing agreements or arrangements with any country bordering afghanistan? secretary kahl: we have not secured firm basing arrangements. we have had extensive conversations. senator fischer: since president biden made the

trade for groups there conducting ransomware attack's from russia and groups that are allegedly conducting ransomware attack's from the united states. can you confirm for me, i know you're defensive in nature, and are not law enforcement, can you confirm in one yes or no, the united states of america has the ability to go after any criminal actors for conducting ransomware attack's here or abroad? >> that christian will get into the authority invested in federal law enforcement, i am not able to answer. >> have you seen the russians do anything to try to claim down on ransomware actors emanating from their soil? >> generally, we strongly encourage all countries to take urgent action against ransomware actors operating within their country, the trend we have seen over the past year suggest that such action across the board as not being taken. >> i understand it is not your jurisdiction, i want to make the point that a trade between vladimir putin and joe biden makes zero cents. we actually go after our criminals. we would take action if we had a ransomware group were threatening other countries, attacking russia or a european ally or china. we would go after them, unlike the russi

the, and i'm so disgusted with the united kingdom already for action. russia test, the military might solve it state of the art s 400 or defense system in the country . so far east with our corresponding getting in on the action ah or wherever you're counting the program from today. welcome to moscow on to the news, our and r t. my name is you know, neil 18 months into the panoramic and the u. s. continues to be the global covered hotspot. it's currently averaging. as you can see there above 70000 new cases, every day, doubts about the issue of vaccine mandates, front and center with protest. continuing against them, critics have labeled the measures on fer and extreme. let's take it to new york, that's where hundreds of 1st responders and city workers gather in front of the residents of the cities mirror to demonstrate against mandatory vaccination. it comes after bill diblasio earlier ordered all public workers to have at least one shot of a job by 5 pm local time. today, those who fail to show proof of their vaccination will be putting on paid leave, starting from next week. firefighters say they haven't been given enough t

defensive measures for the most part, restricting activities , potentially, but our big takeaway from this project is we do need to play off defense, but the most important thing is for the united states to be playing offense. we will not win by defending areas where we're already good. we need to get even better and so, while so much of the report and so much of the our discussion will be on the defensive side, we can't lose sight of what really is critical and that is competing and kind of augmenting our offensive capabilities. so i hope everyone will take a look both at the february report and the report that's issued today. there's much more details contained there-in. but as i mentioned, the deliverable here really is the framework and then we tested the framework in three sectors and that's where i like to pull in our experts here. the three sectors that we chose to look at were artificial intelligence, and specifically research collaboration in ai. we looked at biotechnology and specifically data sharing, sharing of human genomic data in biotechnology, and then the third issue was on the capital market side and looking at cross-border portfolio flows. to apply the framework, we

states and turkey for some time. the 1st issue that really has been a problem for the to has been over the issue of defense and security in the united states. not too happy that turkey recent years purchased a missile defense surface to air missile defense system from russia. the reason they're upset about that is that russia is sort of what the nato group has been sort of working to counter. and so given the fact that turkey is a nato ally, this is a bit of a problem, not just for the u. s, but for some of its members and so they discussed that and degree that they would work cooperatively moving forward to try to resolve some of their differences. but those differences continue. the latest one seems to be of some tension over the fact that there is a jailed philanthropist and business man who's been in there jails in turkey for a number of years 2017 to be exact. and the problem is, is that he's never been charged. so well, we know from the senior diplomat that spoke to reporters, that wasn't a case that was raised specifically. but instead the u. s. president underscored the united states firm commitment to human ri

steve yates worked for the national security agency under the united states department of defense andrity advisor to vice president dick cheney. speaking to me from tampa florida, he said china under president xi had changed its military posture in the south china sea. yeah, i do think that china has become more vocal, more open and aggressive under xi jinping as party secretary. obviously for many, many decades, china has built up it military capability, as is its right to do. but there is really only one major revisionist power in asia when it comes to freedom of navigation by sea, by land or by air, and it's china. so, these freedom of navigation exercises by other powers make it clear that this is not china versus the united states, this is pro—freedom of navigation and maintaining the status quo. taiwan's defence minister has said that relations are at their worst in a0 years and he also warned of a possible full—scale invasion by 2025. do you think that's actually likely? well, unfortunately we don't get to know what the truth is about with the chinese leaders will do. we only k
