that is that china and russia have invested in their military. now, this is a shocker. -- this is a shocker when you talk to people because they don't expect it. i learned many years ago -- at least i believed that we had the best of everything. this is ever since world war ii. it was true for a long period of time. but they have increased their military spending in china during the period of time between 2009 and 2018 by 83%. that's remarkable. russia has grown its budget by 35%. now, during that same period of time from 2010 to 2015, for that five-year period during the obama administration, we reduced our military by 25%. think about that. china increased theirs by 83%. we reduced ours by 25% during that same time period. and don't forget, these countries willfully mislead on many things including the actual size of their defense budget. russia is almost three times larger than most people think it is. they look at it and think well, ours is larger than theirs. it's just we don't get accurate information, and we know what -- the threats that a

the tweets even saying respect the military, perhaps failing to understand that it was his own military suggesting this. what we have seen in the last two weeks here is top leadership on several levels moving ahead of the white house, not waiting for the president to make up his mind about whether he's going to speak to the nation about racial equality. all of the joint chiefs of staff have now issued messages to their troops. the marine corps and the navy are banning any confederate symbols from their bases. they are issuing statements about racial equality. the new incoming chief of staff of the air force, a very passionate statement about this, command sergeant major of the army talking about his struggles growing up bi-racial. you are seeing them move out smartly and move ahead, and they are very savvy. they are not partisan, but they have very fine-tuned political antenna about the nation. they know where the national conversation is, and when they issued these messages to their own troops. they know they are speaking to the nation even if the white house is not. >> admiral kirby.

well, so we again have a lot of military leaders, retired military leaders, saying the proper things. the us military should stay out of partisan politics, the american military should not be deployed on domestic soil, for partisan critical purposes. those are great things to say, however many of those same men have been involved in partisan politics. james mattis was the secretary of defence under donald trump. retired marine corp general john kelly was the white house chief of staff — retired marine corp general. so they have sort of violated their own edit, if you will, and i'm afraid, as we move forward, i certainly applaud the idea that the us military should stay out of domestic politics and i certainly think that someone should stand up to donald trump in terms of his aggressive use of the military, both in response to coronavirus as a kind of photo op, and then now in response to civil unrest in american society but, if i am going to take the general seriously and really listen to what they are saying, what they are saying is, don't listen to us, and in an ironic way, they a

you have so many rank in file military personnel saying, whoa, we're not a military state. i promise you i'm con vevinced they'll escort him from the white house in a great dispatch. >> it's a surreal state of the 2020 election. we start with "washington post" columnist eugene robinson and eli stokel and nick kampesari. nick, this has been sort of whispered about, muttered about. with military leaders coming out and basically describing donald trump's conduct over the last ten days as being against what we stand for as a country, un-democratic, joe biden saying out loud that donald trump might not accept the results of the 2020 election. wow. >> well, it's important to say, nicolle, it's not up to donald trump to accept the results. he can't have a tantrum and not get out of the white house if he loses. what's happening with biden is he's decided he can't fight this battle of propaganda with one hand tied behind his back. the president is out there spreading conspiracy theories about the outcome, about voting and mail-in ballots. it's an insurance policy for the president.

and saudi military actions in yemen and said u.a.e. has really burned a lot of bridges certainly with the democratic party and now clearly with its gamesmanship with syria and huffed are it's turning a lot of heads so it's built off a lot of public support here in washington but at this stage it seems like it's squandered it is well you a does need to be concerned about what's coming next not only from the trumpet ministration but even from a potential biden administration when it comes to its engagement in the region certainly on syria as a cornerstone issue a political process which has eluded 'd the united states in the international community is what's needed to end it and you know he is not part of that then they'll be on the outside as it looks like they're being lined up for being in the near term. libya's internationally recognized government is rejecting arab league calls for peace talks saying the push is coming from allies the warlord having to have to our government's forces advance on the city of sirte egypt is warning of

a patriotic service reflected at the highest ranks of military. i suspect those that are reading in the ranks like general brown all outstanding african-american generals that i've had the pleasure of serving with like vincent brooks for the centcom commander to have insightful views on these matters. the military is something a very passionate about not because it protects the nation but for decades it has provided americans of all colors and creeds with the opportunity to rise upnd individually and a collective force for good in our society to enable members of the mid-to-late military to achieve their full potential and have a promising future after service isom completed. there is some kind of obstacle to stifle opportunity at the militaryanks of the we need to know why and addressing it all together i just came from a full day of marking up the end daa we will look at this issue we had a great discussion in the markup today. we need the military like the rest of the country to be a place to breathe freely. this is one of the ways i will take

it's his own hand-picked chairman and top military adviser. does he have to take the same position as he did with esper and express his displeasure and what general milley said, did the white house know about this? we don't know. i've asked for a comment and have not heard back. as soon as i do, i will definitely let you know. >> i want to come back to get your thoughts what we expect the president to say. eugene, let me follow up quickly on this. it has triggered a debate in this country about the use of the national guard and the president's statements about all the protests, he almost kind of touts and celebrates the fact that those states and those cities that have used the national guard put down these protests he referred to as antifa and an mpbists. general milley suggesting they were peaceful protests and making the distinction about the use of the military in this situation. >> well, that protest that was put down by, violently with the methods that i've seen used by the pinochet government in chile, but not seen used by our governmen

you put the military out there. the military is for military reasons. the national guard, yes, they did wonders in the 60's for removing people like george wallace and letting young black kids go to school. and people going to college. that is what they were used for. what's going not -- going on now is a necessity. it has gone on way too long. host: we ask you this question. doesn't matter who the law enforcement is? state, or is local, federal troops as long as the law as being enforced? caller: no, it needs to be local. number 45 wants that to put on a show. it's not helping, it's hurting. look what has happened. he has been in office for three and a half years and he has done nothing but stoke racism. for all of you callers sank the president is wonderful, yes, he has killed the administration. he has killed the republican party and you are all going down. thank you. let's go to kevin from windsor, connecticut. caller: good morning. we don't need no military. but we need is a real president who was not hiding in a bunker. know, he is stoking the fir

military. he brought the black sailor with him and insisted he participate alongside all the whites in the festivities that took place. he was also amazingly a defender of a persecuted lgbt manager. so here he is. pioneer of civil rights. high near of defending homosexuals. before being recalled to take over the intelligence group. but they had both been directors of central intelligence, but there was no cia at that point. there was only a very small central intelligence group. so he was the first dci that commanded the cia a, created in september of 1947 under the national security act. from sours, to rear admiral, to walter beetle smith, they wanted the shock of creating a national intelligence service in the face of highly skilled, organized soviet adversary. and in an atmosphere of domestic international crises. some i detail in the book as a specific kind of crises. here we have the inventors of a high five as i understand. here we have harry truman swearing in several members of the cia,

here is one big reason they've invested in the military. this is a shock when you talk to people because they don't expect it. i've learned many years ago we have the beshad the best of eve. ever since world war ii. between 2009 and 2018 is increased by 83%. it's remarkable how russia has grownw, by 35%. during the same pure code of time for that five year period we've reduced our military by 25%. now think about that. china increased theirs by 83%. if we reduce hours by 25% during the same time, and don't forget these countries willfully misdeed on many things including the actual size of the defense budget. erussia is three times larger than most people think it is. they look at it and think we don't have accurate information and we know the threats that are out there. because of these investments, china and russia have grown not justca the size of their milita, but that capability as well. last october, china. the hypersonic weapon i remember so well because it was live on tv. we thought it. i saw it on television. state-of-the-art both

turkey has launched another military offensive against armed kurdish separatists in northern iraq. deployed troops to the 100000 in the region near the border to fight the p.k. k. warplanes have also targeted the group's positions around 3000 fighters are believed to be in northern iraq turkey the u.s. and the e.u. all lists the p.k. k. as a terrorist group. a correspondence in turkey and iraq a monitoring developments faultiness in baghdad but 1st let's go to city of course yahoo who is in istanbul for a sit in so this is the 2nd to cross border operation within a week. well the a fact of the turkish mother of 3 has on an awful peroration is to the region especially since the 2018 in the military intensified operation and the reason is not only the presence in northern iraq but the link between the syrian kurdish functional group. in syria basically the idea of the sofa ration by the turkish military it is actually to cut the logistics line between the p.k. k. and the y. p.g. in syria when we look at the route one will look at the areas that have been subject to turkish military o

in terms of some of the things he says, his treatment and words about military people and military heroes like john mccain that i admire a lot that are really troublesome. >> is this the case where character trumps policy for you? >> well, i think that will be up to the voters of the country. >> secretary gates, i'm going to leave it there. i'm glad you brought up north korea. if i had more time i was going to ask you about an interesting comment from your book about north korea and about whether it's time for us to accept them as a nuclear power, among the many interesting things you write about, i encourage folks to pick it up. secretary gates, thanks for coming on and sharing your perspectives, sir. >> thank you, chuck. >>> coming up, a surge in coronavirus cases in half of the state. what can we expect the summer to bring? i'll talk to two infectious disease experts when we come back. this is hal. this is hal's heart. it's been broken. and put back together. this is also hal's heart. and his relief, knowing he's covered by blue cross blue shield. and this is our promise, with over 80

that would have been an escalation and also the holding of military exercises near the border area so we've believe that those are the various plans which are now being scaled back but it's does go against the flow of the way that relations have been moving we have almost expected relations to get worse so we because we are in this tit for tat propaganda war between north and south at the moment we have the release of balloons by defective groups the latest of which was only a day or so ago which always in rages north korea and we have the threatened release by north korea of its own balloons drifting south carrying up to it says 12000000 leaflets now that still seems to be on the cards there's been no plans announced by north korea from this statement that they're going to not carry through on this threat but you would have thought that maybe now given this latest announcement that maybe they won't carry through with that rob you mentioned earlier that it was interesting that kim jong un himself has got to get involved in this because up to this point it's been his sister kim jong un

military, active duty military to the d.c. area and then on friday we had these astonishing jobs numbers. so from a political point of view, did that erase all the bad news from earlier in the week? >> it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. i think the president is a lot more comfortable talking about economic data being the cheerleader for a thriving economy than he is dealing with the kind of cultural civil war that i think we see playing out across the country in so many different terrible ways. the president's response to this i think, he seemed like his old self again. we shouldn't expect that this is going to be the way things go for the next several months. the president's hopes for the fall really depend on having a sustained period of growth, having that kind of rocket ship that he's talking about. and i think it's far too early to say whether that's going to happen given the damage these lockdowns have done to the fundamentals of our economy. chris: marie, joe biden had a tough time on friday, trying to

and so i think for any active duty military person to see that display yesterday of active duty military in lafayette square really rattles old ghosts and the dna of this nation. i'll conclude on this point, andrea, by simply saying as we look at this, we have the capacity to create civil order. we have a million police officers in this country. we have 500,000 members of the national guard. that is certainly more than sufficient to deal with any foreseeable circumstance going forward. there's no reason to be talking about tanks on the streets. lastly to see that helicopter used in the way we used them in combat in afghanistan really hurts my heart. >> well, i just wanted to check this "time" magazine piece that you have written, and one of the things you've said is the idea of boots on the ground and dominating the battle space in our american cities is an aj ama to the majority of americans. and the battle space quote comes directly from the secretary of defense in a call with governors. he tried to explain today he was using this as a term of art because he was referring and praising

military strength -- to mistake military resources for military strength. in other words, you could have point 5000 have 25,000 soldiers, but perhaps they were not well developed, trained, maintained and in fighting form. the idea that simple numbers meant something by way of power, upton is trying to challenge. he will also argue in the second snippet that all of our wars have been prolonged for want of judicious preparation ,in other words, the u.s. revolution, the civil war, had taken far longer than they ought to because the u.s. was not prepared for those conflicts. he would make a case that the cause is obvious to the soldier and should no less obvious to the statesman. if you are in uniform you should receive these things, but if you are a civilian, perhaps you should not. why had the u.s. not cared? he argued the legacy of fear of standing armies -- since the days of the british colonies, there had been, as we discussed, a fear of a large military establishment. a traditional source of insecurity and tyranny. this was an english-speaking peoples's c

the 7th largest army in the world well with lots of military equipment the n.y.p.d. certainly does seem like an army of iraq obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and national outrage about the militarization of police who. are. now back. however trump has route 5 the program now many are asking the question why does the department of defense have so much excess gear that it needs to unload anyway the u.s. has been involved in so many words that they become occupations and the military is as developed techniques were operating as an occupying army and they've brought these home they brought the war home after they made by these things and the military you know uses some of them they become surplus or if they don't buy of them all you know the military orders a certain number and then they'd back out of buying some of it a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and basically congress passed a law saying that these things are to be given to police departments so we have the ridiculous situation where smal

again, that was not a military decision to clear the park. the national guard was there in support of law enforcement. with regard to your second question, i would say this much, i will not comment because i have asked that an inquiry be made. i want to understand what happened, who was involved, what words were they given are not given, was there a safety issue involved? there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. i spoke with secretary mccarthy last night about it, and we will get the facts, and we will go from there. >> thank you. you served in the d.c. national guard. question,up on nick's where you surprise a medical helicopter from the d.c. national guard to intimidate people peacefully assembling? secondly, you asked the secretary of the army to look into this. was a helicopter under the authority of the department of justice? is that why there is this military if the helicopter was used in an aggressive form? the request along enforcement? you made a statement that was to intimidate protesters. i got a report back that they

as much as the president admires the military there are questions how top military brass feels about him. >> there is clear disagreement according to republican-controlled senate armed services committee, the defense secretary, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the secretary of the army on one side and the president of the united states on the other over renaming ten bases honoring confederate generals. it's not the only domestic political issue facing the army. >> my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of military involvement into mastic politics. ever commissioned uniformed officer it was a mistake. >> reporter: general mark millie's first comments on his walk to st. john's church with donald trump isn't the only thing dividing them in the commander-in-chief, he says he's open to renaming fort benning, home of the infantry, fort bragg, home of the airborne special forces and the list goes on. general david petraeus wrote a country where bragg, or robert e lee serves as inspiration acknowledging the fact as imperative but donald trump said by
