there are questions of how to reform the pentagon. they want to reform the dod bureaucracy while senator mccain on the senate arms service has other plans. they have ideas on how many more troops there should be in the military. the senate comes in lower than the house. shipsny and what kind of to put on contract. those are standard things that come in every year that they had out. -- -- out. the congressman mentioned the board that controls foreign investment and foreign takeovers in the united states. event --f that is to to guard against access to sensitive technology by 10 -- by countries like china. point of be a big contention with the trump administration. >> i think that is a pretty conference of list of some of the more consequential issues. the funny thing is, sometimes the inconsequential issues are tangential to defense that come up the works. gum up the works. for couple appears we watched as protection or the stage grass have caught disagreement and delayed the resolution of the conference. andthere are energy ranching in

there's been a great deal of confusion here at the pentagon. the military is awaiting guidance from the white house. bret baier had an exclusive with president trump on board air force one on the way back from singapore. >> is the military drawing down in south korea? you hinted at that. is there this tit for tat? >> no, it's not going down at all. it was never discussed. we have 32,000 soldiers in north korea. i would like to get him home but it's notice on the table right now. at the appropriate time it will be. >> the president has brought up in the past few days the cost of these large scale training exercises, especially the flight of b-52 and b-1 bombers based in guam. >> where do the bombers come from? guam. nearby. i said oh, great. nearby? what is nearby? 6 1/2 hours. 6 1/2 hours? that's a long time for these big massive planes to be flying to south korea to practice and drop bombs and go back to guam. iw a lot about airplanes. it's expensive. >> in the mid 90s, the u.s. military dpend training exercises with south korea during previous

they would never say war games here at the pentagon. 're always referring to them as military exercises. and the question here at the pentagon, really the urgent question is what counts as what the president is calling war games. to be forward deployed in korea means you're constantly training. down there at camp humphries, i was there a couple of months ago, they have a giant rail spur that goes to the back of the base. wh they have at? because they want to take tanks out all the time to go up to the ranges. they don't like to drive the tanks on the roads because they rip up the roads. there is constant training in south korea. so what qualifies as what the president says war games and wh here at the pentagon is required for not just lethality but readiness to make sure you don't have the aviation or sea mishaps that we've seen so many deaths in the last several months. >> evelyn, nobody likes paying for insurance. i don't. over the years it's massively expensive. i can't touch it, i can't feel it, it feels like it goes nowhere, but it'

they simply are, according to the pentagon, the landlord for all of this. hhs and these contractors that they've been using will come on to the military bases and run these facilities. but what it does mean is the pentagon now, u.s. troops, very much in the middle of the optics. the political optics of this whole situation. if it comes to pass that there are 20,000 children on u.s. military bases, that is something that is going to put the pentagon right in the middle of all of this. we do expect that defense secretary james mattis will agree because just yesterday he told reporters here that he would meet any request from hhs on this immigration issue. and we also know that now about 20 or defense department attorneys have been earmarked to go over to the justice department and handle immigration cases. so, regardless of the niceties of the law, the optics are the military is getting right into the middle of this whether they like it or not. brooke? >> i just want to underscore what you have just reported because we have been talking about so far in this c

the test too. soon to get five points for spelling your name right pentagon. i mean. every. if we graded our military the same way we read a fifth grader he'd be the kid the teacher like takes pity on and has empty the trash can for extra credit and and he's still accidentally lights the bulletin board on fire somehow just by emptying the trash but that seventy thousand bombs dropped by bush who is child's play obama dropped a hundred thousand bombs in seven countries he out bombed bush by thirty thousand bombs and two countries but despite all of that donald trump's administration is top in everyone blown out of the water he has basically taken the gloves off the military so they're now just dropping bombs every time they think about maybe dropping bombs. journalist david de graw which is where i've got a lot of this information he's also found that the pentagon's numbers show that during the pentagon's own numbers show during george w. bush's eight years he averaged twenty four bombs dropped per day which is eight thousand seven hundred and fifty per year over the course of

big decision out of the pentagon. ials prepping to stop military operations with south korea just as the president promised and those plans could come as early as today. we are also watching today the potential flipping of the fixer. nbc news confirming michael cohen expected to split with his lawyers. what it could mean for any cooperation with fellow prosecutors. the white house watching that. a major new report dropping today about fired fbi director james comey and the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. that report finally ready to go public. a lot going on. let's start with big news out of the pentagon. multiple sources confirming preparations are underway to cancel long standing u.s. military drills with south korea. these changes, one of the promises president trump made to kim jong-un, a decision that prompted a lot of concern, a lot of confusion and new questions about america's commitment to long-time allies. also right now on capitol hill the senate is holding a hearing on the nomination of harry harris t

bryan: that was actually from a report the pentagon put together. which looked at this issue of advanced technology and how to protect it, how to prevent the potential enemies from gaining access to it. and the pentagon concluded, i think in 2016, that basically the u.s. government did not have a comprehensive strategy for dealing particularly with china. because there are so many ways that china is trying to gain access to american technology and know how. and that turned the crown -- that term the crown jewels coined by the pentagon was without a more comprehensive strategy on how to police this, we are facing the real potential that china is going to gobble up a lot of the stuff that we see as our most advanced technology. cory: i think it is funny you've seen chuck schumer pick up on it and he uses the term "family jewels" when he goes on the senate floor and rails against trump for focusing on tariffs and not this but the term is quite apt and a lot of people do use it. peter: and senator schumer and cornyn figure heavily in your article as does

the pentagon has been asked and this has been confirmed by a spokesman by the department of health and human services which has jurisdiction and responsibility for caring for the separated children to find room for twenty thousand unaccompanied minors on military bases now this is something that was done during the obama administration in one thousand nine hundred fifty excuse me twenty fourteen and fifteen when there was a surge of mostly teenage young males coming up from central america they were unaccompanied by parents it wasn't as though they were being taken from their parents but they were housed on military base but this would be ten times the number of kids who are already been separated from their parents or are in custody so it looks like a major escalation again what message that sends this request to house kids on military bases it certainly is muddies the waters and. leaves everyone with a great deal of uncertainty about exactly what the policy is all right pop analysts live for us and capitol hill in washington d.c. thank you bob let's cross over now to gabrielle is on

that has gone unaccounted for at the pentagon but i didn't get into the number of bombs that ridiculous amount of money buys you according to consortium news president bush's military dropped seventy thousand bombs on five countries but of that outrageous number it was really just fifty seven of those bombs that really upset the international community because there were fifty seven strikes in pakistan somalia and yemen countries the u.s. was not at war with and didn't even have ongoing conflicts within and the world was kind of horrified there was a lot of talk that went something like this wait a second we're bombing in country outside of war zone is it possible that's a slippery slope ending in us just bombing all the time nancy whichever president follows bush will be a normal adult person with a functional brain stem of some sort and will therefore stop this madness. we're. where we were we were like a little bit waking up in. under president obama there were five hundred sixty three strikes largely by drones that targeted pakistan somalia and yemen despite the fact that bombing ou

senate just voted to hand the pentagon a hefty seven hundred sixteen billion dollars fittingly titled the john mccain national defense authorization act of twenty nineteen after the ailing arizona senator who never met an interventionist war he didn't like the bill boosts military spending by over eighty billion authorizes another twenty one point six billion for nucular weapons programs because you know that's just what we need here in the united states is even more nuclear weapons the senate floor was awash in the glow of john mccain while passing the bill by a vote of eighty five to ten fellow eighty something year old senator senator jim inhofe he exclaimed make no mistake he may not be here today but this is his bill his priorities his policy objectives are in this bill so i guess i guess we can thank john mccain and his legacy according to the senator jim there for they are hard working hard earned tax dollars being spent on yet another round of death and destruction coming soon to a poor foreign country near you instead of say i don't know better health care here at home colleg

is going to save by not having these joint military drills and apparently the pentagon didn't know you know i we're trying to get official coming right now from the korea command but this is something secretary of defense jim met as has insisted that the two are not linked this is extraordinary to have a u.s. president use the terms for these military exercises that we hear from the north koreans they are the ones they call these war games they call them provocative the u.s. has always insisted that there's nothing provocative about these exercise the pentagon has always said that the training will continue and that it's going to be separate from this nuclear issue so i think it is remarkable not just that he used those words but that as the commander in chief he is ordering the halt to these exercises and it appears right now that the leadership in south korea had no idea. to experts here in washington and they are very concerned that that along with everything that happened in canada with the g seven that that is really going to call into question the credibility of the american gove
