And more violence in chicago where at least 51 people were shot just over the weekend. Lets bring in byron york. Teresa . Trace s chief Political Correspondent for the washington examiner. Always good to see you, thanks for joining us this morning. You saw the pictures and images, wwe had violence over the weeked in at least a dozen cities. They say byron that there a lot of them are really in solidarity with the protesters in portland, but then you have Congress Members like Louie Gohmert saying, the real goal he believes in this situation is for these protests keep on going and eventually tried to push the president out of office. What are your thoughts on that . While the situation certainly escalated over the weekend and you had seen before that a number of democrats, commentators in the press, say that these wer
Turning onto h street, but you can see the white house lot across Lafayette Square park. That area where you see that largest gathering of people that weve seen on this procession, harris, black lives matter, its really 16th street heading across Lafayette Square to the white house. It has become something larger than just a street. People may contribute to that site, and they want to bring their kids. Some of summer camp groups. There are yo. Some have concern, should to be about yoga . It should be about this movement for racial justice. But i just want to signify that it has become almost like the way we think of charge. A gathering, a communal experience. For so Many Americans go to black lives matter plaza, and thats why mayor bowser washington, d. C. , had invited congas men lewis to come while he was still alive. They took him up onto the rooftops so he could look and see the whole encompassing view of black lives matter written on the ground, and how many people come almost wor
Training and readiness. Lets take an air base. At an airbase, the air bases are open. They have guards at the gate. They have people in the tower. They have people in the fire truck. The lights are on. Were spending the money for all that. Where can you stop spending money quickly . Painting the buildings. Mow the lawn less often. That kind of thing. Importantly, you stop training. When you stop training, you have stopped readiness. We are protecting those in as we know are going to afghanistan and would be in a fight tonight on the Korean Peninsula if god forbid we ever had a wart on the Korean Peninsula. Were trying to protect the units most likely to find themselves in combat. For the others, we cannot afford to train them. That is risky because if something happens, those units will not be fully ready. Then we get to the civilian personnel part of a week ago, furloughs began for many of our civilians.

New initiatives you have put in place with him are what he described to congress recently as 40 new cyber team is working under cyber command, which is the military side of his job. He said 27 of them more for defense. 13 were for office. He said 27 of them were for defense. 13 were for office. This comes before we even have a general discussion about whether you want the department of defense in the business of cyber office. Cybers about what these teams are supposed to do, what their mission is, how much all of this costs, whether it is expensive or inexpensive compared to the other things you are doing, and how you get the conversation going on offense of cyber. Very important. I divide the mission of cyber of in the department of defense into three pieces. The first and most important piece for us is to defend our own networks, the integrity of our own networks, because everything we do depends upon the use of Information Systems, including ones connected to the internet. 10 years
To stop. No matter what you do, they just keep on coming after you, hungry and ready to tear you apart. You can never just sit back and relax, because after these zombies, the ones right in front of you, there are thousands more right behind them and a thousand more behind them, and theyll all want a piece of you. Maybe you have a plan for the zombie apocalypse. The cdc certainly does. No, really, thats a real post from the federal governments zombie preparedness campaign, but what about if the government defaults on its debts . The way some are talking about it, it sure sounds like an apocalyp apocalypse. In order to admit default would be, and im quoting here, insane, catastrophic, chaos, these are the more polite words.
