instead of a triad, we only have two systems.if we cut -- >> you make an assumption i don't make. that sh we'is we are always goi have these levels of funding. there's room to have the discussion about what the nation needs and wants. when you look at defense spending, particularly spending on strategic weapon!vyky however, right now we spend about 5% of our department of defense budget on strategic systems. with that bow wave it goes up -- i think it's about seven or eight percent. even within the department of defense budget, it will drive hard choices. but it does not appear to me to be unaffordable. from the perspective of the nation, from the perspective of what the strategic deter rents mean and what risk are we willing to take, that is not an area i'm willing to say that we ought to be taking risk in. >> brian bradley. you mentioned that you were frankly concerned that the nuclear funds could cut into other areas of the larger defense budget. have any areas -- have any current plans been identified as possibilities of scal

it will always benefit you as part of my triad. customers, employees, shareholders. when we first invested, jack said, you do not come first. you are third. i want to take care of my customers first, employees second, and then you will be taken care of if i do my job right. it has always been the same story. obviously, we have done great and investors today will do great. would you like to see ali baba do next? it has been a 15 year journey, but what happens after this? >> three major efforts going on right now. continued attrition in china. as i said in another interview, china's consumption per gdp is 1/10 of the u.s.. in the last 15 years, the chinese people have moved 15 million people into the middle class. these consumers are just now learning how to consume. if you go to china, they are still trying to figure out what to buy, what to wear, and they look to the west or a lot of these influence. it is a huge potential for the chinese to consume more. they may not consume as much as the u.s., but more. so there is still growth in china for alibaba. the second pie

and the triad is domain, technical, process. you need to understand what you're working in, you need to understand and be conversant. i'm not looking for experts, right? if i look for experts i would have five people in d.c. who can handle all three of these. you need to be conversant and you need to be understanding the process and there are many, you need to understand the process by which that technology is applied to the domain. if we can do that, we can start to remedy the acquisitions hole that we fill. and that acquisitions hole is represented today by the fact that our security is done at the tail end. if you look at your engineering teams, you'll have people who think about security and say they think about security but more often than not we push that to the information assurance folks, again, at the tail end of the acquisition, at the last five minutes before it goes live instead of requiring that security to be built in by our developers, by our systems engineers and to have that security demanded by our program mana

our nation must also rebuild the nuclear triad. that said, i'm glad the president has brought a new focus to the efforts against isil. he needs to take this responsibility head on. this congress, the next congress and the next administration have serious work ahead as we consider this multiyear commitment and what it will take to defeat isil. one more point: given the urgency of this situation, i have to say it's a little disconcerting to see the democratic-led senate focusing on things like reducing free speech protections for the american people. at a time when the rest of the country is worried about the threat of isil, at a time when millions wonder how they're ever going to find a job in this awful economy, at a time when we find out rushing regulations have gotten so out of control that they now cost the american economy more than $2 trillion a year, this is what they choose to make their top legislative priority this week. taking an eraser to the first amendment? and now they plan to devote almost all the remaining time betw

i'm probably spent now in the billions of dollars hardening our military apparat apparatus, nuclear triadour nuclear defense mechanisms, our missile defense so that we can survive in a dmp laden environment and yet our civilian grid is unprotected and our military depends upon that grid for 99% of its electricity needs without which it cannot really effect its mission. so it's sort of a conundrum. on the one hand we are spending money that we don't need to spend hardening our commercial and critical defense assets or we are being completely derelict when it comes to wear civilian grid which is vitally important to not only our military capability but our way of life and life itself. >> host: and an economic impact as well. >> guest: the economic impact is almost immeasurable but i think the big issue that we need to look at is what would our society look like if we lost our grid for months or years and if you look at it carefully and fully think through it, it becomes almost an thinkable scenario. >> host: the threat is an electronic, electromagnetic pulse attack, edm psu have said. expla
