(cheers and applause) so nice to see you, thank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> jon: the book is called "gabby, a story of courage and hope." i have to tell you, i'm reading the book and the temptation is, you know, you're an astronaut who marries a congresswoman. the temptation is to skip the rough parts, the tragedy, and read it as a fairy tale. because it is in some respects a remarkable love story between two extraordinary people. >> well, thank you. but we tried to include all the parts so... you know, i think gabby's happy with how it came out and it's... you know, we're happy with the book. >> jon: is it therapeutic to write this after having gone through what you guys went through over the past year? >> it is. it's sometimes hard, though. you know, we... especially on the

he worked with the united states navy, did he not? >> he did. he already had given up pacifism for a period of time, realizing hitler was unstoppable and had to be met with by force of arms. >> alice, what about his oddogy, he wore no socks a lot, correct? >> this may be due to the fact he had sweaty feet, which is one of the reasons he was excluded from the swiss army. >> but then he would need socks. >> you can argue the exact opposite of that. he may have found they were heat producers. we'll have to live with that mystery. >> i suppose. >> is this true, it is said that husband of his time, he had no time to buy a new suit. he had no time to have his haircut. he was not willing to expand that kind of time? >> i think he didn't think it was important enough. >> he was completely uninterested in material things. that follows also from what you read as part of the things he believed in. materialism, the questions of dress were -- he made fun of it in berlin when he was in high society. he made fun of the need to strut around like a peacock. so t

i was yesterday at a land use meeting where the navy gave a presentation, the united states navy gave a presentation where they are talking about a very, very contaminated area that they desire to tap. that means to put a 2 inch plastic and put some dirt over it. this is for your information. some of view are old enough to know about midway village by geneva. i see one person nodding. hopefully this information can be given to the commissioners. they went ahead and cap them arianna and are having a lot of issues with that, with people getting cancer. the reason why i am relating what i am relating is because the hunters point area -- put that infrastructure that taps into our other main system when they chop off 35 feet -- today, i get reports about high incidence and i will be making it a point to send you some of the things so you can inform the other commissioners. i am connecting the dots. you heard a general report, but we need to inform our young people what is happening in that community. they are the ones who are going to live there in the future. when you reach a certain age,

i served from the united states navy and the united states army. it was a perfect fit. >> so what kind of jobs are we talking about when you take off the helmet and put on the hard hat? >> anywhere from project management down to carpentry, plumbing, pipefitting, whatever it may be, whatever you can think of this construction. >> some of those careers you talked about welding, pipefitting, do you have to have the training the experience before you can take advantage of this? >> it can certainly be helpful. also we work with the 15 building construction trades and they have over 80 principle crafts. you said middle class income. what kind of money are where he talking about. >>> what is even an hour if a pipefitter and a plum officer. >> it -- and a plumber? >> we want to connect them to careers. not $10 an hour. not $12 an hour. we want to connect them to something with health benefits, if they have the gi bill they can use that. >> people are watching this family members are overseas or on a base somewhere, coming back home. how do they take advan

then i had this third option from the united states navy. now, the navy said to me, they said, if you join the navy we will pay you $13,302.60 per month. they said and they said, and we promise you that in your first few months in the navy we promise you that in your first few months in the navy you will have zero minutes per day of privacy. and they said, the deal is the minute you sign up on the dotted line you're going to os a years of service, at least four years' active duty in four years in the reserves. they said in return for that will we will do is give you one end of the one chance at a basic underwater demolition seal training. if you make it through that turning you will be under way to being a kid navy s.e.a.l.s. if you fail that turning, over 80 percent of the kansas to, you are still going toe was the years, and we will tell you where and how to serve. now, it is not a very interesting recruiting pitch. but i remember actually i went to an event. this really fancy universities have mentioned. as i walk ten, i remember looking

i'm a commissioned officer in the united states navy, or i was, you go out and tell me to kill some guyhat, that's an unlawful order. in our armed forces you are obligated not to carry out unlawful orders. be that as it may, this mission goes out to get mr. bin laden, it's time lined going just as clockwork on a special operation. they get there, helicopter does not encounter trouble on insertion, it lands on the roof, it deposits its guys, they jump on to the balcony, they're in the building, surging down the hallway, bin laden's son comes up the stairs, he's neutralized, door pops open, there's osama, slams the door, they call geronimo, they burst in the door, they got him. we're talking 90 seconds, we're talking 120 seconds, these guys operate. you hit them so hard so fast. now this is making sense to me. time distance motion. why would you land outside the compound to fight your way in? >> but even more interesting, why would you portray that you landed outside the compound to fight your way in if you didn't? >> well, i think what happened -- and i had to deconflict a lot of stories

i have two boys in the united states navy. and all they want to do is go on to fight and protect and defend the great treatments we share in this country. this country has values. we have a name brand in the world. i've lived overseas four times. i've been an ambassador for my country three times. i've lived overseas and done business. we diminish our standing in the world and the values that we project which include liberty, democracy, human rights, and open markets when we torture. we should not torture. waterboarding is torture. we dilute ourselves down like a whole lot of other countries and we lose that ability to project values that a lot of people in corners of this world are still relying on the united states to stand up for. >> pelley: and that is time. thank you, sir ( applause ) governor romney-- governor romney, recently, president obama ordered the death of an american citizen who was suspected of terrorist activity overseas. is it appropriate for the american president, on the president's say-so alone, to order t

after high school in ohio houston, david volunteered and enlisted in the united states navy. he spent two tures of duty in korea. and after leaving the navy in 1953 he joined the united states army. in 1962 mcnerney was one of the first 500 soldiers stoned vietnam. during thinks third tour of duty in vietnam he was stationed near the cambodian border and in march of 1967 he and his company were sent to recover a missing reconnaissance team. coming under heavy vietnamese attack, mcnerney was wounded by a grenade and its commander was killed. nonetheless mcnerney continued to fight, calling in close artillery fire. he destroyed an enemy mg, pulled wounded to safety and he secured a landing zone for medical hospitals. and he refused to be evacuated himself. his actions stopped the enemy advance and saved his own men's lives. his valor earned him -- earned first sergeant mcnerney the congressional medal of honor and was presented to him by president johnson. then mcnerney volunteered yet again for a fourth tour of duty in vietnam. after serving in the army and the navy, mcnerney r

they considered a draft for the first time in the history of the united states navy. 50% of the enlisteesad bad teeth. december 7 changed everything. the navy actually the recruitment offices nationwide had to go on 24/7 they he had such an outpouring of people wanting to sign up and that was true for the army and marine corps and coast guard. >> shannon: and we were struggling with unemployment issues as well. how did the war and what happened at pearl harbor change that. >> what happened is president roosevelt instituted to help the british fight nazi germany by lending them battleships and guns and arm aments helped some what to bring america out of war because we were engaged in production which we hadn't been engaged in during the 1930s. we were producing things that were being consumed. that helped slowly lift america out of the great depression. it wasn't until december 7 that we become an arsenal of democracy where detroit is turning out airplanes instead of cars and nash which is the precursor to american motors turning out airplane propellers instead of cars and household applia

four sixty-five billion we have done for your men and women in the united states navy and what would mean if we put additional cuts out? anything you want to put in your opening remarks we want to hear from. >> thank you, chairman forms and chairman mckeon, ranking member bordallo and distinguished members of the subcommittee. my first opportunity to testify before the committee and my honor to represent men and women of the navy, active reserve and civilian who do stand watch around the globe to date. my appreciation for congressional support of them and their families. in an era of declining budgets we are mindful of the lessons of the past. we assess force readiness. taken in some or in part low personal quality, aging equipment, degradation in material readiness and reduce training will inevitably lead to declining readiness of force. we remain committed to maintaining our navy as the world's preeminent maritime force. to do so we must sustain a proper balance among the elements of current readiness and to the long term--those long-term threats to our national security. those ele

now, senator mccain just addressed that issue, and, you know, we've got a great united states navy. it's not the intention of the united states navy to function in a way of sailing ships around the world and having terrorists brought to ships for detention. a state-of-the-art facility like guantanamo is off the table but holding someone on a ship never intended to be a floating prison and prohibiting from long-term detention by the geneva conventions is somehow a humane replacement for guantanamo. and that simply does not make sense. the intent behind the detainee provisions in this bill is very simple: we must be able to hold detainees for as long as it takes to get significant foreign intelligence information without them lawyering up as the christmas day bomber did so famously after only 50 minutes of interrogation. and, again, to my friend from illinois who talked about the fact that once this young man's parents got involved that after his miranda rights had been given to him, he gave us an awful lot of intelligence, and that is true in his case. but, mr. president, i doubt very
