Prepare for future conflict and russia, china, and other nation states improve their ew capabilities. U. S. Forces depend on vast networks for intelligence, strikes, navigation and logistics, and leaders realize that any smart enemy will attack these systems in any conflict to handicap american forces. Among the changes to bert protect forces has been to merge cyber and ew operations which are intimately intertwined. Joining us are the four men who head the ew efforts for their respective servic...

Can you comment on that . I would be happy to. Its been our experience whenever federal money has come the date has stepped up to issues and made additional money available as well. In kentucky we have been able to do a lot of the Major Projects through that whole mechanism. But the one thing i would say about 45 on average the money that states have to work to build projects is federal funding and of that 45 it constitutes more of the larger projects that we actually build and so its a critical...

At stake for republicans voting in favor of it. The bill is essentially a clean suspension of the debt ceiling for about 13 months. What they are basically voting is if you are someone who in a republican primary contest, there are already arguments being made that republicans essentially voted in favor of giving a blank check for more government borrowing for a little more than the next year. It is the kind of thing that wont play well in republican primaries. Something thes republicans general...

It is about 2500 marines. It is associated with amphibious shipping. That is what you mostly see on the news, marines operating off of the ships. We have two of those on the water at all times. One in the pacific and one generally in the european, african, and Central Command regions. Very capable force. Runs the gamut from working Security Cooperation issues up to having the capability of executing Forcible Entry or having a play inside a major theater operation. The last one on the left is the...

Compensation. When we lost on the floor of the house, i was sure it would be turned around. Two factors. First of all, bill knows this, when a measure is coming up, the people who are for it tend to take for granted that it will happen, and the people who are against it scream and yell. You hear disproportionally from the antis. We heard from all the people who thought it was terrible. After the vote, people started hearing from other people who thought that not doing it was terrible. And of cou...

Behind me and that did not happen. You did not negotiate. We could get a photo of you afterward. Ok. Well, lets go to a committee now, not a subcommittee. The two gentlemen to my right and left have had ample opportunity to sit in the stuffed chairs behind me. Barney frank cocreated the legislation known as dodd frank. To my right is the honorable bill thomas, who served in congress until 2007. He was the chair of the house ways and means committee. And for purposes here today, he was the vicech...

To do what is inherit a government function. Its almost like a hit brick wall every i time talk about this. Why is it it has to be a contract function. Why cant we use the best trained military in the world to protect our most valued assets in our most dangerous places . I mean, i think the reality just speaking with regards to my old agency we are deployed in so many areas you cant expect the military to pop up there and provide that kind of protection. They have to get security on side and get...

Kelly. So you can spend your evening watching that. I will be on at 9 30. You dont want to be involved. When you get caught for being a you know what. Set your dvr so you never miss an episode of the five. Special report is next. Political war over irans potential for nuclear war. Republicans pursue sanctions. President obama promises a veto and now another world leader is involved. This is special report. Welcome to washington. Im bret baier. The senate wants a say in the president s negotiatio...

Not to. I believe, mr. Speaker, it is also our duty to take part. This International Operation is about protecting our people, too, and protecting the streets of britain should not be a task that we are prepared to entirely subcontract to other air forces of other countries, so it is right for us to act. In Great Britain just like the United States much of the concern revolves around this war escalating to the point of requiring ground groopz troopz. Lets listen to some of that debate which took...
