Comes to the nuclear threat. one area im particularly focused on as chairman of the homeland security committee, thats the cyber security threat. i think we also need to be prepared for attacks against the united states and our allies by russia in the cyber domain. that could also be very problematic for critical infrastructure. we have to treat this crisis with incredible seriousness. the stakes are high. when you have a country like russia with a significant both nuclear and cyber capabilities...

Many regular men and women coming off the streets. they need weapons, things like a rifle. ive been hearing more and more from u.s. officials about the need to arm these individuals to fight. 20 million rounds of ammunition. thats important. no battle ever has been enough ammunition in a conflict. then, of course, the drones you mentioned extremely important. we had an exclusive report last night that the u.s. is considering sending switchblade drones. the president didnt specify what drones, bu...
