00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: so much going on. I have a packed show for

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: you today. First, we're going to hear from Anne Hambley

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: from First Service Solutions and we're going to talk about

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the commercial real estate markets around the country. It's really

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: important to know what's going on there, brick and mortar,

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: industrial office space, the future work environments, the economy. Then

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: I got el Todd Wood from CDM Press. This guy

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: is great. He was an MH fifty three c night pilot,

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: used to take seals around and special ops around for

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: many years serving our country. And he's in the new

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Pentagon Press Corps. I was down on the ground in

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: the Pentagon last week with Hegseth and a lot of

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: undersecretaries and the press secretaries. Really crazy stuff going on

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: right now. I was with the Navy Secretary yesterday at

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: the Washington Navy Yards in the iconic Capital Turnaround, which

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: was the trolley barn for the cars that went to

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Washington Navy Yards from Georgetown back in the eighteen

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: nineties and it's in the Washington Navy Yards, which are

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: very historic. Helped defend us against the War of eighteen

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: twelve against the British on the Anacostia River, and it's

25
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: the longest running federal facility in the United States. And

26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I was there with the Secretary of the Navy and

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Benny Harmony from Real America's Voice, and we talked about

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: nur CEO, the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office, and I've got

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: great interviews with the staff. We're going to be building

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: ships faster, providing weapons systems faster. America has their act together,

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: at least under Trump. The House Armed Services maybe pushing

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: the NDAA which will help codify Trump's executive order, and

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the Pentagon is on board with this to get weapons

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: systems out to protect America. I want to get to

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: our first guest though, An Handley from First Service Solutions.

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, and how are you fine?

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for including me.

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great to have you here. And I'm a

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: commercial broker for almost four decades. It's hard to believe,

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: and we pay attention to what's going on and try

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: to gauge the markets, and it's a predictor for the future,

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: right for the economy and habits. Tell us about what

43
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: you do.

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I have been also for four decades in

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: commercial real estate. I ran a lot of the servicing

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: shops on the finance side for a long time, and

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: then twenty years ago created my firm for service Solutions,

48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: and we work with owners of commercial properties and we

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: help them with whatever they might need as far as

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: resolution on their debt. So when we talk about the

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: different property types, I'll be able to give you some examples,

52
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: but we help them just figure out what needs to

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: be done and maybe where necessary, get relief on their debt.

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Right, and you have a lot of concerns for the

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: marketplace because rates are high even if they come down.

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: You're saying there's about five trillion in debt out there

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: and half of it might not be soluble. Tell us

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: about that.

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: Well, half of it is maturing. So when you have

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: a loan, when you get a commercial real estate loan,

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: the typical kind of most average term is about ten years.

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: So if you think about it, when you get a

63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: loan in twenty month, let's just think about it. If

64
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: you got a loan today in twenty twenty five, the

65
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: lender has to make sure that they know what you're

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: going to do to pay their loan off in twenty

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: thirty five. Well, that's what's happened now is we got

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: a lot of loans maturing that were created, you know,

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: ten years ago, when we all had to go to

70
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: the office every day, as an example, and now we don't.

71
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: We got hybrid work arrangements. So there are about half

72
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: of the debt that I've truly and matures this year,

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: next year in the following year, and a good chunk

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: of that is not going to be refinanceable. So something

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: has to be done.

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Are you saying that we may be looking at a

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: lot of foreclosures.

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: Yes, we are going to be looking at a lot

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: of foreclosures. We're also looking at a lot of just

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: I think it's just changing of hands, right. So if

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: I got my loan ten years ago and I already

82
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: got my money out of it, and I'm now ten

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: years down the road, I might just decide to get

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: rid of it. That doesn't mean that I'm going to

85
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: necessarily get it foreclosed on. I might sell it to

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: someone I might have someone else come in and buy it.

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's going to be a lot of change

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: and issues and foreclosures happening, absolutely sure.

89
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: And it's compounded by a couple of the problems. Right,

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Brick and mortar retail is like hissedoi, right, and the

91
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: malls are being converted into Amazon warehouses, medical facilities, like

92
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: here in long On we have a six hundred thousand

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: square foot mall half if it's already gone medical almost.

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: And then you've got the problem of the workplace environment

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: post COVID remote home, you know, attendance. Tell us about

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: those problems and what those markets face.

97
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what you brought up is perfect retail. So

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: I always use the story of you know, when my mom,

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: and I'm using this just generational. My mom when she

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: needed to buy a new call, black skirt, you know,

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: a black shirt, new tie, like you have a nice

102
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: tie on there, she would go to the mall, walk

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 2: around the mall, look for what she wanted, and then

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: go home. Well, my generation, we did a little of both.

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: We do on we go to the mall maybe, and

106
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: then COVID hit. Now we realize, man, you can do

107
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: everything online. And yet and my kids are grandkids. They

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: would never think to go to a mall to buy

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: what they're going to buy. They're going to just go online. Right,

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: So malls are just not relevant as much.

111
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Right.

112
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: Office same It's not quite as drastic, but there are people.

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean, twenty years ago, we all had to go

114
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: to the office every single day, five days a week,

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: eight to five, you know whatever, and now you don't

116
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: have to. So as these office buildings are maturing, you

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: have to think about what are you going to do

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: with them all? Just like the mall, Like you said,

119
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: malls are being converted to other things. That's because we

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: don't need as many malls, if any malls. Same thing

121
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: with office. They're being converted to multifamily, to just other

122
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: things because we don't need as much office space. So

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: what do you do with all that?

124
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: Right?

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: So industrial is a little more stable, I would say

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: so when the Trump's first term, he brought back about

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: nine thousand manufacturer distribution operations back to the United States.

128
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: Now the economy is going to get traction in my opinion,

129
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: next year, maybe not fast enough, as people continue to

130
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: suffer from the last you know, four or five years

131
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: in COVID and the policies. But do you see with

132
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: all the reinvestment, the nineteen trillion dollars or so that

133
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: Trump's bringing back, do you think the warehouse, industrial and

134
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: manufacturing markets will prosper at least?

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

136
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: I do, And I guess the question there is, I mean,

137
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: I think for the next you can foresee that maybe

138
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: in the next for the next ten years, you know, again,

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: using that just as a standard sort of term, we're

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: probably going to always need places to store stuff so

141
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: that you can ship it. Right, So, I think industrial

142
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: is probably the darling of commercial real estate right now. Now,

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: if you go out twenty or thirty years, you know,

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: there's always a question. I'm not proposing that industrial is

145
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: not a great property type, but the key thing that

146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: we always have to ask ourselves now, in this modern

147
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: era of where we live now, will things look like

148
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: twenty thirty years from now? Will we need storage? Will

149
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: will they just fly from a drone somewhere? I don't

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: know the answer, but these are the things that I

151
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: think everyone commercial real estate is trying to figure out

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: right now.

153
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: You know.

154
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we have plans on Long Island. I worked

155
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety on an affordable housing analysis to take

156
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: because we had a recession here the piece dividend. A

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: lot of properties was sitting dormant. We used to be

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: big plane manufacturers for military Harry Aircraft, and we were

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: going to convert industrial space into affordable housing. I don't

160
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: believe in affordable housing. I'm a builder too. If the

161
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: taxes will lower, you wouldn't need affordable housing and subsidies

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: from the government to buy a home. So we're getting abused.

163
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: We have about two minutes left. I'm going to give

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: you the floor. Tell us about your outlook for business,

165
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: and tell us about where people can follow you and

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: get involved. You know, if they have a property, can

167
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: you help them right?

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Sure?

169
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

170
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: If you have a commercial real estate property and you

171
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: are facing well it can be a maturity or not

172
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: a maturity, but you're facing any kind of problem and

173
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out what to do with it.

174
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: That's what I do. So I will give you do

175
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: free consultation all the time. I will give you my

176
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: thoughts based on what I'm seeing done in the market today,

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: what I think lenders are doing, and help you figure

178
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: out a plan to go forward. There's also, as we

179
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: talked about, with all the change. Maybe the foreclosures, the handbacks,

180
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: if you call them, call them that. In commercial real estate,

181
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: it presents a lot of opportunities. So for people that

182
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: have money that are sitting wanting to invest in the properties,

183
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: this is a great time to do that too. Think

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: of an office building. Okay, so it's maybe it's worth

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: a fourth of the debt fifth of the debt today. Well,

186
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: if you can buy it for the right price and

187
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: you want to hold it for a period of time,

188
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: it's a great investment. So call me if you need

189
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: if you want to invest, if you have a problem

190
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: with your property. My website actually it's not on there,

199
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't buy this in a store.

200
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: I bought this tie online.

201
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: So that's my point.

206
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, David, same to you. I'm always available if

207
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: you if you ever want to talk to me.

208
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Thank Thank you so much. Anne. Yeah, everybody, we got

209
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: to follow what's going on here. You know, the economy

210
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: is changing. I'm worried about, you know, AI getting rid

211
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: of entry level jobs. Kids out of college still can't

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: find high paying jobs. Used to make twenty thirty thousand

213
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: more and that was thirty years ago coming out of college,

214
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: So it's it's tougher. But I think the economy is

215
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: in a rebound. Next year maybe take off like a

216
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: rocket ship, hopefully. But thank you for watching Breaking Point.

217
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. I've got super stuff ahead. Don't

218
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: go anywhere.

219
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: As countries have walked away in the past few years

220
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: from the US dollar, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa

221
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: diversify into gold, into birch gold. And for over five

Speaker 1: Welcome back to breaking Point. It's such an exciting couple

241
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: of weeks. On the ground is New Media at the

242
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Pentagon and then yesterday with the Secretary of the Navy

243
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: at the incredible Washington Navy Yard's oldest federal facility, operating

244
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: in America. These guys and men and the men and

245
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: women of uniform are just the best their prime. And

246
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the civilian personnel at the Pentagon also amazing. And the

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: attitude is so great down there. Everybody's in a good

248
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: mood pretty much, you know, on board with Trump's defense

249
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: acquisition speed up and the rapid capability offices to try

250
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: to get weapons systems, defense systems to the marketplace. But

251
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: I want to bring in my next guest here. And

252
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: I caught up with them again at the Pentagon this

253
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: past week as part of the New media week. El

254
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Toddwood from CDM dot Press. Todd, how are you, sir, Great.

255
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: To be on your show, Thanks a lot. Date. We

256
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: have to quit meeting like this man. It's been I know, can't.

257
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: You can't look the other way for a second. There's

258
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: so many things going on right, so many stories, and

259
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: you've been all over it. Tell us a little bit

260
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: about yourself, you know, and your time as a pilot.

261
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: Sure. I went to the US Air Force Academy. I

262
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: went into special operations. I flew IMAH fifty three j payblows.

263
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: It was long range in search and extraction for Tier

264
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: one customers sell Team six and Delta primarily, and so

265
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 3: I did that. Then I went to Wall Street for

266
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: almost twenty years and then started a journalism career. When

267
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 3: I left the Street in twenty eleven, went to work

268
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 3: for the Washington Times, and just realized I needed to

269
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: start something on my own because I kind of had

270
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: a vision and we wanted to be kind of the

271
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: without the spin. So cdum dot Press was born in

272
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: nineteen and now we're thirteen digital sites in growing. So

273
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: we're glad to be with you at the Pentagon.

274
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. You know, I've been hearing rumblings

275
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: the Legacy Media MSM, probably mad at their decision. Maybe

276
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: the lawyers got them fired up too soon. They wouldn't

277
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: sign this agreement. All they had to do was where

278
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: their credentials. Stop hiding them, Stop ambushing people in the

279
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: hallway without being escorted at the Pentagon, stop leaking stories. Right,

280
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: And you know we had a successful day or two together,

281
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: with three days together last week there.

282
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: Right.

283
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: We asked tough questions, right, we.

284
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: Sure did, and we asked the questions that you know,

285
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: I don't think they were asking. Maybe they you know,

286
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: we're not in the in their agenda like you know,

287
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: some of the acts issues getting service members back in

288
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: or you know, questions about what actually is going on

289
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: in Venezuela or or or other areas where the mainstream

290
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: legacy press just didn't want to go. And so I

291
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: think it's really positive that we had a really great

292
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: group of people asking some really informative questions you may

293
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: not have heard before.

294
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. So you know, we're

295
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: trying to bring you the truth as well to the

296
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: audience of Real America's Voice news here, and we're really

297
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: in touch with the audience. So it's important. And you

298
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: you've been working on this incredible story, and it's disturbing

299
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: because you've got you know, the Christians living alongside Shiites

300
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: in Lebanon for a long time, about thirty percent Marinite

301
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Christians at one point. But now you've got Sunny control

302
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: of Assyria instead of the Shia, and now the Sounis

303
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: are coming into Lebanon. Tell us about what's going on.

304
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, I never knew I love it On's history

305
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: till I went over there about a year ago for

306
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: the first time. I had spent a lot of time

307
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: in the Middle East, but never there and I didn't

308
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: realize that it was really the only Christian country in

309
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: the Middle East, and it used to be seventy plus

310
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: percent Christian in the early seventies. And then a series

311
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: of things, I think orchestrated things happened. A half million

312
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: Palestinians come in, which created the Civil War, which the

313
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: Christians lost because they were supported the Palacinians were supported

314
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: by other Block countries, and the US really didn't step up.

315
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: You had assad invasion of Syria, which caused a lot

316
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: of damaged over fifteen years. Then you had the port explosion,

317
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: you had a Color Revolution which destroyed their financial system.

318
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: And now you have two million plus Syrian refugees Sunni

319
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: refugees that are in Lebanon and they won't go back,

320
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: and they're being paid to stay by the UN by

321
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of NGOs out of Europe. And it's really

322
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: disturbing because it's changing the demographic and economic balance away

323
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: from the Christian sector to the Sunni religion and the ethnicity.

324
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: And it's backed by Turkey and other groups, the Gulf States,

325
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: and the Trump administration is pushing it, and it's really

326
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: disturbing the Christians there.

327
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was in touch with Bridget Gabriel many

328
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: times over the last twelve years, and you know, she's

329
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: always told me about our childhood living in a bunker

330
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: as Lebanese Christian with Muslim threats there. But now they've

331
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: got this dynamic where sixty five thousand Northern Israelis have

332
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: been displaced. They're just starting to come back in twenty

333
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: five hundred along the border. You've got tensions again. You've

334
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: got Israel bombing again because they're finding weapons caches and

335
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: stuff like that, or suspected re arming of Hesbolah, a

336
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: lot of dynamics. But Turkey wants to restore like this

337
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: modern day Ottoman Empire, right, So they got their hands

338
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: in with the HTS who took over Syria. Right, They've

339
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: got their hands all over the place and their fingerprints

340
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: on this, don't they.

341
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: They sure do. And I think you've hit on the

342
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: nail on the head with the Ottoman Empire. They're re

343
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: establishing this power structure. And you know, I want to say,

344
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Israel has its own security concerns obviously in

345
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: the region, as does Turkey, But why are we why

346
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: are we listening to everybody but the question Christians, that's

347
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: my point. I mean they are being ignored on purpose,

348
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: and it's it's really hurting them. And this is where

349
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ walked. This is the basket of Christianity where

350
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 3: it started.

351
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: And you want the Trump administration to address that, right

352
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: I do.

353
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: And I don't want military action. I want the bully pulpit, right,

354
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: I just want to say, we're going to make sure

355
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: this ethnic group is protected. We're a Christian country. Last

356
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: time I checked, seventy percent still, you know, and yeah, go.

357
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: Ahead, yeah, no, I'm looking back in history. You know

358
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: the Bosnia Harsgovinians and Serbia. Melossovich, you know, a bad guy, right,

359
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: I killed a lot of people, but you know, we

360
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: were fighting, we were taking the side of the Muslims

361
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: to a degree in Yugoslavia or in the Civil War,

362
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: and and I'm not saying people shouldn't have been protected

363
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: on the ground, but we bombed a lot of Christians.

364
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: Right. Well, if you look, if you look back over

365
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: American policy, it always the consequence is always the destruction

366
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: of Christian communities. Unfortunately, you look at what's gone on

367
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: in Syria where we put Galani in charge, who as

368
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: an al Qaeda member who is not. The first thing

369
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: you did was go down south and or as militias

370
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: did and kill a few thousand Christians and about ten

371
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: thousand Alloies. You had what happened in Iraq, the Christian

372
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: community just you know, destroyed. I mean, yeah, so it's

373
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: happened over it. You look at Armenia, same thing happened

374
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: with favoring Turkey and Azerbaijan over the Christian community in Armenia.

375
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: This is a pattern. And once you see the pattern,

376
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: you really can't unsee it.

377
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Is that the godless nation building state department versus.

378
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: It might have something to do with it.

379
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, so we don't want to go too

380
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,239
Speaker 1: far down the rabbit hole. I don't want to get

381
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: off topic here, but you're on the front lines, you're

382
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: exposed ca option in Ukraine and other areas. Tell us

383
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: what else you got going on?

384
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: Well, we you know, we've been really early on a

385
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: lot of stories like Ukraine. I mean, we still have

386
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: an intel team on the ground and that story is

387
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: still ongoing, and it's one of our focuses, talk about Christianity,

388
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: the destruction of the Christian Church in Ukraine, Ukrainian Orthodox Church,

389
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 3: and it's always well it's Russia, Russia, Russia. Well, these

390
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: people have no connection to Russia, just a historical canonical connection,

391
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: and it is absurd what's going on in Ukraine. They're

392
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 3: putting priests in jail, they're beating priests, they are poisoning

393
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: some of the officials, and they're burning churches, stealing churches.

394
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: There was a video the other day where they attacked

395
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: a monastery with chainsaws and then beat all the priests inside.

396
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: I mean, this is an attack on the Christian church

397
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: in Ukraine. So we're all over Eastern Europe and the

398
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 3: Middle East. You know, we've got seven papers in the

399
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 3: US election. Fraud still is rampant in Georgia and Florida.

400
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: We've been all over that kind of these things that

401
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: we keep pushing and focusing on, and we're kind of

402
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: the as someone retired general told me, you know, CDM

403
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 3: is the guy with the knife in his mouth that

404
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: goes in first, and that's kind of us. And then, uh,

405
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: you know, we get the stories really early because we

406
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: have people on the ground all over the world literally

407
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: calling us all night long. That's why it looks so

408
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: tired today.

409
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: I've been Wow, yeah, and I'm following you on X,

410
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: where can people follow you?

411
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: CDM dot Press is the best place put us in

412
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: your scan like any other you know, news organization. I'm

413
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: on Real L tide Wood on X and CDM Underscore

414
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: Press on AX of the two best places.

415
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was really impressed. I felt like with

416
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: the DEI stuff being addressed by Trump and heg Seth

417
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: and others, there's kind of been a fog lifted at

418
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: the Pentagon. Maybe I felt that the undersecretaries and the

419
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: people that we interviewed were very positive about like the

420
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: timeline getting it done in Trump time, and the impetus

421
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: for these rapid capabilities because these and these rapid capabilities

422
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: office have existed for a long time in the Air

423
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Force and the army, But were they really doing it?

424
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: I feel like they may really be doing it now

425
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: getting the weapons systems out.

426
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: What do you think, Well, I think that's true. I

427
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: think if you go, I think there's been like a

428
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: twenty thirty year period where that has not been the case.

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: It used to be. You know, when I was flying

430
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: and soft, I mean we would just you know, I

431
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 3: remember one example, we had problems with people, you know,

432
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: taking rounds in the back of the helicopter. So we found, okay,

433
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: how can we do this Instead of going through a

434
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: laborious process to armor up the machine down under where

435
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 3: the crew was, we just found armored blankets and we

436
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: strapped into the side of the helicopter and then walked

437
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: on and it was fantastic. Fix. That kind of thing

438
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 3: has to happen, and that's what I hope comes back,

439
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: that innovative spirit because we've really been bogged down with

440
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: the administrative you know, bureaucratic stuff, and with drone warfare

441
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: changing so rapidly in Ukraine and elsewhere, we really got

442
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: to learn and adopt these technologies.

443
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: Yes, and the private partnership because the government moves at

444
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: a snales pace, right, So bringing in private industry fifty

445
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: to fifty partners on a lot of these defense acquisition programs,

446
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty encouraging, cutting out red tape and going right

447
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: to the top for decision making, I think. But I

448
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: want to thank you so much, Todd. I'll have you back,

449

Speaker 1: And when I come back, we've got interviews from the

460
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: Naval Rapid Capabilities Office kickoff day with private industry at

461
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: the Washington Navy Yards. Don't go anywhere, We'll be right back.

462
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: I was on the ground this week in Washington, d C.

463
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: At the Navy Yards with the Secretary of the Navy,

464
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: John Fhalen and the amazing people who work in the Navy.

465
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Navy has the most complicated

466
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: tasks ahead of it, rapid changes in threats. You know,

467
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: we had a missile come near us in the Red

468
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: Sea to Harry S. Truman from the hoo Thies. Earlier

469
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: in the year, or I think maybe December or January,

470
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: we had a diesel submarine take out an aircraft carrier

471
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: in a virtual exercise. I think recently, you know, we've

472
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of different threats, and then of course

473
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: China ship building two and a half one. I think

474
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: to the United States, although we have superior technology and

475
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: nuclear aircraft carriers and the likes, still a lot of

476
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: emerging threats out there. And what Trump did, so the

477
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Air Force, I think, started the Rapid Capabilities Office in

478
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: three of the Army in twenty sixteen, the Navy started

479
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: one on the new Navy secretary appointed the new Navy Secretary,

480
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: John Fale, and he's incredible. He made his money by

481
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: handling I think Michael Dell's investments and very close I

482
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: think to the Trump administration, but an incredible Navy secretary

483
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: really showing innovation. Started the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office just

484
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: a few months ago in August or September, and they've

485
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: got this incredible team with Vice Admiral Seiko Oconno, the

486
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: director of the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office, and great people

487
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: here right and their naval research and R and D

488
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: and acquisitions. I've got two super interviews that I did

489
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: on the ground with many people working on these programs here.

490
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: But Trump's executive order to modernize defense acquisitions and spiring

491
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: innovation in the defense industrial base is going to be

492
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: codified when Congress votes on the NDAA and really important

493
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: stuff so we remain competitive in all theaters, in all

494
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: domains across the world. As we go into the future,

495
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: we're going to be turning around ships. We have to

496
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: cancel the Constellation free to program. The literal combat class

497
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: ships were controversial. So we're going to be updating and

498
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: we're going to be spitting out defense systems, weapons systems,

499
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: and shipbuilding at a rapid pace going forward. And everybody

500
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: that I've interviewed on the Pentagon last week with Hegseth

501
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: and other undersecretaries, they all are in a great move

502
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: down there, and they are on board getting it done

503
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: in Trump time. As Peter Navarro said, it's really something

504
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: to watch, you know. So don't believe the legacy media

505
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: that everything's in turmoil and the Pentagon is. It's not.

506
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: These guys are in a uniform mission. Check out these

507
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: great interviews I did with the people from the Naval

508
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: Rapid Capabilities Office partnership with private industry. A big day

509
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: here for the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office here at the

510
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Navy Yard, and we have the senior advisor to

511
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Patrick George, how are you.

512
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 6: I'm wonderful, great to be here.

513
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: It's great to be invited to this event. I think

514
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: it's important that the people know the imminent threats we

515
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: face out there staying relevant. You know, somebody said on

516
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: stage today that you know, twenty to thirty years ago,

517
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: we were always dominant. And it's like Mike Tyson, sometimes

518
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: you got to get back you know, if you you.

519
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 5: Know, keep your put your guard down, or you don't

520
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 5: emphasize on real time solutions, you have to get back there.

521
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: And it feels like that's what you guys are doing here.

522
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: We're trying.

523
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 7: You can't be complacent and so we've been able to

524
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 7: rest a lot on our dominance, both technology and hardware,

525
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 7: and so we need to really push the envelope. And

526
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: that's what the don Department of Navies RCO is focused on,

527
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 7: is how do we rapidly deploy technology that the Navy

528
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 7: needs now, that the warfighter needs now, not ten years

529
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 7: from today, but.

530
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: With act like you're at war.

531
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 6: Act like you're at war.

532
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and say Navy Secretary John Fall, it seems like

533
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: he's really taken the initiative. It's part of hegcess initiative

534
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: to do this stuff in real time. It's Trump's, it's

535
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: the House Armed Services Committee pushing the NDAA, and it

536
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: seems like you're roll on the same page.

537
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: Right.

538
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 6: It feels that everything is getting aligned.

539
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 7: For the first time in a long time, we have

540
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 7: not just the political will, we have members that have

541
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 7: left their civilian sector jobs to come and serve in

542
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 7: this administration.

543
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 6: Me included I left.

544
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 7: I'm an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and I put all on

545
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 7: that hold to be.

546
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 6: A part of this movement because the country needs it.

547
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 6: We need to be moving forward faster.

548
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 7: And you're a US marine for twenty years twenty years

549
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 7: in the Marine Corps plus entrepreneur NBC.

550
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay, can you tell us about some of the private

551
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: partners that attended today? And I understand you were the

552
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: brainchild or a part of the original team for the

553
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: AI shipbuilding.

554
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: So team effort for sure.

555
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 7: On ship O West with Palent you're a very exciting

556
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 7: announcement that you just heard from the CEO Alex Carp

557
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 7: and the Secretary of the Navy and how we're going

558
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 7: to try to bring AI to our shipbuilding and both

559
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: public and private shipyards and our suppliers so that it's

560
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 7: all integrated. Big step forward, first time in history that

561
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 7: both the public and private shipyards have been connected. Tonight

562
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 7: today was about bringing venture capitalists, private equity investors, and

563
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 7: industry to the room to say, hey, we are open

564
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 7: for business.

565
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 6: We are doing deals differently.

566
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: And we need you.

567
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 6: We're not trying to rebuild everything in house.

568
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 7: We want to buy commercial and we need you to

569
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 7: bring us your best and brightest ideas and we need.

570
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 6: To field them as quickly as possible.

571
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 7: So new contracting, new program management, new rules so that

572
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 7: we can push further and faster.

573
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: So there was a time in American issue and we

574
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: were putting out ships every forty days or so. Right,

575
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: what will this do? Because I know, you know, issues

576
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: like the constellation for the literal combat ships and other

577
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: what you guys have to replace those, don't you?

578
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 7: We do, and so they definitely so the littoral combat

579
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 7: ship is still playing a role in our fleet, the frigate,

580
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 7: as you know, the Secretary canceled that program. We are

581
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 7: working towards what the new classes of ships are going

582
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 7: to look like, but at the same time, we need

583
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 7: to increased throughput on our most critical exquisite systems, the Columbia,

584
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: the Virginia. That is a huge part of our deterrence

585
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 7: as a Navy, and we need to make sure that

586
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 7: we are reducing the cycle time to get those into

587
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 7: the water faster.

588
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: And last question, you're trying to incentivize the private sector

589
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: investment in doing this because sometimes you're like fifty to

590
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: fifty partners with the private sectors.

591
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 6: Correct, So we want to share that risk with you.

592
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 7: So what we want to see is you come to

593
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 7: the Navy with private capital and you say, look, we

594
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 7: will take up we will bet on ourselves as the entrepreneur.

595
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: We're going to put private capital up front first.

596
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 7: And as we hit milestones with the Navy, the Navy's

597
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 7: money gets released. We're protecting taxpayer dollars, rewarding our winners,

598
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 7: and if you are underperforming, we're going to cut that

599
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 7: contract and we're going to relocate capital to the companies

600
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 7: that are performing.

601
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's great. I really learned so much today.

602
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: And we have the Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary

603
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: of the Navy, Patrick George, with us, and godspeed, Thank

604
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: you so much, thank you for having me appreciate it.

605
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: We are here with Andrew Magliachetti. You're the director of

606
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: Small Business Operations directly for Navy Secretary John Feelin.

607
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 8: Correct, that's correct.

608
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, an amazing day here at the Capital Turnaround.

609
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: This place was the terminus for the Georgetown trolley I

610
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: believe in the late eighteen hundred.

611
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 8: I mean, this venue is incredible.

612
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing historic. The Navy Yards protected us from the

613
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: War of eighteen twelve right on the Anacostia River here.

614
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 1: But today is about the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office, new

615
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: venture launched by Navy Secretary John Falen Right.

616
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 8: That's correct, Yes, So this is our official kickoff today.

617
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: That's great. That's great. So this is about public private

618
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: partnerships incentivizing private investment so things can get built in

619
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: real time. Is there a sea change? No pun intended

620
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: in the mindset, it seems like everybody that I've been

621
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: around in the Pentagon here, the House on Services Committee,

622
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: the President's Office is kind of in unison on achieving

623
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: a mission for real time development.

624
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 9: Well, I think you hit the nail on the head.

625
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 9: The Rapid Capabilities Office is about identifying, onboarding and operationalizing

626
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 9: technologies for our war fighters. As quickly as possible. However,

627
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 9: as part of doing that, we're also trying to change

628
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 9: the way we do business.

629
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 8: I come from a venture capital.

630
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 9: Background, and Navy historically has had a reputation of being

631
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 9: one of one of the most challenging services to do

632
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 9: business with, and in particular for the early stage companies

633
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 9: that are developing the most important technologies.

634
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 8: For our fighting services.

635
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 9: So part of the Rapid Capabilities Office is bringing a

636
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 9: new perspective where we are being better partners with private

637
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 9: sector capital and with the founders that are creating these

638
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 9: amazing technologies, but at the same time holding them accountable

639
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 9: for performance and making deals that make sense for our

640
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 9: warfighters and the Americans and.

641
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: Helping them cut out some of the red tape to

642
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: get it done.

643
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 9: Absolutely, absolutely right, so really important.

644
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: Right, we have real time threats around the globe. We

645
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: have to be dominant in every domain, right, and it's

646
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: changing ever so fast.

647
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 8: Right, You're exactly right.

648
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 9: And also the Navy has one of the most has

649
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 9: the most complicated mission set of any of our armed services.

650
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 8: Sure, sure so, I know.

651
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: I think the Air Force started the Rapid Capabilities Office

652
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: in three the Army in twenty sixteen, and it seems

653
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: like in the short amount of time that the able

654
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Rapid Capabilities offices in existence just a few months, you

655
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: guys have hit the.

656
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 9: Ground running an amazing amount of progress in a very

657
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 9: short period of time. Hasn't been formally announced yet, but

658
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 9: we've sort of identified our first three transactions that will

659
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 9: be announced over time to other major announcements coming down

660
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 9: the pipe in.

661
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: Concert with private companies. That's right, Okay, how do you

662
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: find those companies and how do they reach out to

663
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: get involved? And someone scouting out the technology and.

664
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 8: Well, you could look at it in two ways.

665
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 9: We have sort of inbound inquiries that we encourage where

666
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 9: we define our challenges and ask companies to specifically respond

667
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 9: with detailed information about the capabilities they have that will

668
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 9: address those challenges. And at the same time, we will

669
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 9: reach out proactively to try to find the companies that

670
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 9: meet those capability requirements.

671
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: I have one last question for you, what about the

672
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: RFP process, requests for qualifications, requests for proposals. I know

673
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: sometimes I deal with government in New York unfortunately, but

674
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: it takes a long time sometimes, So how do you

675
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: abridge that or get it down to a quick process?

676
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 9: Sure, the superpower of the RCO is that we cut

677
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 9: that red tape and that we make things happen quickly.

678
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 9: The people that are making the decisions are three stars

679
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 9: and above. Make those decisions quickly, cut the red tape,

680
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 9: get things out the door as quick as we can.

681
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I want to thank you so much

682
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: for joining us, everybody. Andrew Magleachetti, the director of Small

683
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: Business and you're a Trump appointee.

684
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 8: Right, that's right, Yes, crowd, to serve the president.

685
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: We say, get it done in Trump time. I feel

686
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: like that's the attitude maybe in today's military.

687
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 9: One hundred percent is we've got amazing political political appointees

688
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 9: across the services working very hard to put the president's

689
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 9: policies into action.

690
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we learned a lot today and we

691
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: want to educate our audience on what the government's doing.

692
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you joining us. Thank you.

693
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 8: Pleasure to me too.

694
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: We'll be back with more breaking point right after the.

695
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You're watching Break Important in Real America's Voice News.

696
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: I was with the Navy Secretary in the Washington Navy

697
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: Yards this week for the new Rapid Capability Office kickoff

698
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: down there, and he said that they want to remove

699
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: barriers and deliver solutions at the pace Navy warfighting demands,

700
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: because this stuff's really important. And I've got super interviews

701
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: here about ship build os. It's an AI generated platform

702
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: and partnership with private industry Palunteer Systems, along with the

703
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: Assistant Navy Secretary for Research and Development and Acquisitions Jason

704
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: Potter and former Congressman Mike Gallagher. And then I've got

705
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: Admiral Saiko O'Connor, director of the new Office for Rapid Capabilities.

706
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: Don't miss this and thank you for watching today at

707
00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: the Washington Navy Yards for the Naval Rapid Capability Office

708
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: kickoff under the leadership of Navy Secretary John Fhalen. An

709
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: amazing day here and we have two great gentlemen with

710
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: us performing the duties of the Assistant Secretary of Navy Research,

711
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: Development and Acquisition, Jason Potter, and we have former Congressman

712
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: Mike Gallagher and the head of War for Palanteer Technologies.

713
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: How are you, sir?

714
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 8: Doing great?

715
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 10: It's a great Navy day and.

716
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: It's great to see you.

717
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: Mike.

718
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: Guy covered Wisconsin a lot during the campaign, so Joe.

719
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 11: Pack great state and did the best in the Union

720
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 11: love Green Bay, Green Bay, Titletown say, it's what we

721
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 11: call it.

722
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: Really really super. So can you tell us a little

723
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: bit about what your role is and what makes today

724
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: so special because it sounds like, you know, you have

725
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: real time threats, you have to develop stuff quicker in

726
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: partnership with private sector that can happen.

727
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 10: Right, absolutely, So today is all about the launch of

728
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 10: the Department of the Navy Rabbit Capabilities Office. Secretary Secretary

729
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 10: Falan was here leaders from private industry, capital market leaders

730
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 10: just to help the Navy speed up the delivery of

731
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 10: capabilities to the warfighters that need them.

732
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 6: We had a great roll out with.

733
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 10: Mike Gallagher and Palenteer of the ship os Ai system

734
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 10: that's going to help revolutionize how we build chips. It's

735
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 10: just a lot of energy here as we turn the corner.

736
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: So we need ships, we need ship building. We used

737
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: to build ships every forty two days and a time passed, right,

738
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: and we had the Constellation Freighter program where we're only

739
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: going to build two of the seven I believe propose

740
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: and the LCS as I guess, going to continue in

741
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: some way. So why is it so important to partner

742
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: with a company like Palenteer and ship Os.

743
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 11: Well, palenter we're commercial software company, so we have a

744
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 11: defense technology business and a commercial business, which allows us

745
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 11: to do at least two things. One invest our own

746
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 11: money into research and development. Billions of dollars we've invested

747
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 11: into a cutting edge AI enabled software platform, and then

748
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 11: give that platform to America's warfighters.

749
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 6: And that is a unique advantage we have.

750
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 11: Right now, we talk about how do we compete, how

751
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 11: do we beat China. We have to leverage our best

752
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 11: strengths well Geopolitically, one of the advantages we have is

753
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 11: are enduring undersea advantage, our submarines and their capability. Economically,

754
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 11: one of the advantage we have is that we are

755
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 11: the world leader when it comes to software. What Shippos

756
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 11: represents is the marriage of these two things, and I

757
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 11: think the manifestation of the Secretary's vision as a private

758
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 11: sector guy bringing the best of industry to bear on

759
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 11: really hard problems. There's probably no more complex manufacturing problem

760
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 11: in the world than how we build nuclear summer.

761
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: I think the Navy has the toughest job with that.

762
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: And Secretary Feelan was talking about how we're going to

763
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: go from the desktop or PowerPoint basically to prototypes. Quicker,

764
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: tell us about the role from research and development and

765
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: acquisitions part you play.

766
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 10: Sure, Yeah, So we are the Navy's acquisition arm. We

767
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 10: put you know, over one hundred billion dollars on contract

768
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 10: every year, and we're breaking down bureaucratic processes where we're

769
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 10: just not getting these capabilities out fast enough, and we

770
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 10: have to go faster. We have to change how we

771
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 10: do business. Example here the ship os and just this year,

772
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 10: you know, twenty twenty five, we went from proving this

773
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 10: works at one shipyard, seven suppliers, we're now going to

774
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 10: five shipyards, one hundred suppliers. We're ready to scale up.

775
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 10: That's the kind of thing we're doing across the board.

776
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 10: When we see a winner, we double down, we scale up.

777
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 10: If something's not working, we recognize we need to shift

778
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 10: and move quicker.

779
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: So you're looking for speed and scale right, and the

780
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: private sector moves faster traditionally than government. How does palenteer

781
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: work with the government so they get up to speed

782
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: as well and be able to keep up with the pace.

783
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 11: Well pounder pioneer what we call the four deployed engineer

784
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 11: model or basically world class software engineers, you know, the

785
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 11: genius twenty five year.

786
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 8: Olds that I work with every single day.

787
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 11: We preposition them co look at them with the war fighter,

788
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 11: so they understand the war fighters day to day.

789
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 6: And here it's important.

790
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 11: It's not like the Navy is paying, you know, for

791
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 11: the shipyard just to press a button and download software

792
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 11: and somehow it magically works.

793
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 6: That's not the way it works.

794
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 11: We need to understand the decisions that not only the

795
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 11: CEO of a shipbuilding company understands, but the every single worker.

796
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 6: In the yard every day.

797
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 11: How do we make their lives easier? How do we

798
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 11: give them a tool where they can be more productive,

799
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 11: have greater impact. That's what our technology is all about.

800
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: So I recall, you know, I think it was December

801
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: of January and the Red Sea, you know, the Harry S. Truman,

802
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: how to missile come in proximity to the Truman. There's

803
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: new threats out there and it changes quickly. Right, How

804
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: tough is that task to keep up with the latest

805
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: and greatest threats in a man of time.

806
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're at it, you know, twenty four hours a day,

807
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 10: seven days a week. As the Secretary said, we're on

808
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 10: a war footing. This is putting acquisition of war footing

809
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 10: to support our warfare. And you know the ships in

810
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 10: the Red Sea. What used to take weeks or months

811
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 10: to get software upgrades to you know, adapt to a

812
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 10: threat is now taking us hours or days. We have

813
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 10: agile software on our ships. You know, we are at

814
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 10: this to make sure there's no threat you know that

815
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 10: we can't defeat. And it's it's the proof is in

816
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 10: the pudding and the x you know the performance of

817
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 10: our destroyers and the Red Sea defending the Truman and

818
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 10: commercial ships and everything else. And so we're taking that

819
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 10: model what we're seeing in Ukraine as well, and recognizing

820
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 10: we have got to speed up, you know, how we

821
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 10: get capability of the field, and we're doing it. And

822
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 10: so it's the r c O today is a formal

823
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 10: instantiation of how serious we are about it. And we're

824
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 10: putting our best acquisition professionals on it, working directly for

825
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 10: the Secretary and you know ship os again, it's just

826
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 10: another tangible example of how we're using AI and.

827
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: Too great great and uh, I have one more question

828
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: for sure, So have you've seen a shift versus say

829
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: the previous administration like Peter Novarre used to say, got

830
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: it done in Trump time. Yeah, I feel like that's

831
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: the common thread in everyone that I talked to here

832
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: between Hegseeth, the Secretary of War, the people on the

833
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: ground that I've interviewed under secretaries, there's a different mood.

834
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 8: Right, one hundred percent.

835
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 11: We have a once an adjacent generation opportunity to fix

836
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 11: American shipbuilding. And starting from the President on down, I

837
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 11: mean the president through multiple executive orders. I mean even

838
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 11: a theme of his first term was shipbuilding is essential,

839
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 11: revitalizing both commercial and navy shipbuilding. And now what mister

840
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 11: Potter just said about Secretary of Phalen's vision. You know,

841
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 11: for eight years I was on the Cpier sub Committee Congress.

842
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 11: I was waiting for someone to grasp this essential point,

843
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 11: which is to say, in order to prevent a war,

844
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 11: in order to preserve the peace, you need to put

845
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 11: the defense industrial base in general, and the naval industrial

846
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 11: base in particular on a war footing. That sort of

847
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 11: emergency mentality, that focus on near term deterrence, putting water.

848
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 11: That's what's going to make the difference.

849
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I want to thank you so much.

850
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: I wish you guys I met Christmas, and happy holidays,

851
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: and keep doing what you're doing. We need to be protected.

852
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: So thank you so much, Thank you, sir, Thank you.

853
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: An incredible day on the ground here at the Washington

854
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: Navy Yards, the capital. Turnaround and we're joined by the

855
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: new Director of the Rapid Capability Office for the US Navy.

856
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: How are you, Vice Admiral Seiko O'Connor.

857
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a fantastic day.

858
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 11: We just launched.

859
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 12: We're open for business.

860
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. You were appointed by the Civilian Secretary

861
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: of the Navy, John Fhalan recently in September.

862
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 12: I was in August.

863
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Okay, great, so it's really fascinating. So I know, the

864
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Air Force had a similar office for some time, the

865
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: Army in twenty sixteen. Now the Navy is doing that

866
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: and you have modern threats, right, you have a lot

867
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: of moving parts in the world. Why is it important

868
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: to do this in real time? And you're partnering with

869
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: private industry, right.

870
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 12: We are, So you know, look, I think we saw

871
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 12: what's happening in the Red Sea, we saw what's happening

872
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 12: in the Black Sea. And what we're seeing is that

873
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 12: the character of warfare is changing faster than the acquisition

874
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 12: system can move. And so the Secretary is closing the

875
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 12: gap by creating this rabid Capability office. And you know

876
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 12: you kind of felt it in the room. You know,

877
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 12: this isn't just an office, you know, stand up. This

878
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 12: is a culture shift. This is us really embedding ourselves

879
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 12: within the entire acquisition structure to get at speed, at

880
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 12: velocity for the entire Navy.

881
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and really important and partnering with private sector, which

882
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: tends to move faster than government, and it's part of

883
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Trump's defense defense acquisition. Congress may approve the National Defense

884
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: Authorization Act, which is including and codifying that those defense

885
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: acquisition programs which will speed everything up. Tell us about

886
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: some of the private partners that you're working with.

887
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 12: So right now we are just starting this up. We

888
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 12: just obviously announced a ship OS Award with Pallunteer and

889
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 12: that's really to you know, transform our.

890
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: Shipyards AI shipbuilding, AI.

891
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 12: Shipbuilding, that's right, and so we're really excited about that.

892
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 12: But there's a lot that we're working on. We're starting

893
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 12: with what are the urgent operational problems, hard problems. Yes,

894
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 12: we're going to combine that with tech and industry, large.

895
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 2: Small, you know, you name it.

896
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 12: We want the their best ideas and then rapidly get

897
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 12: that capability into the hands of our sailors and marines

898
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 12: so that we can you know, iterate on that and

899
00:46:58,840 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 12: and be lethal.

900
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: I noticed that across the board, being at the Pentagon,

901
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: working with the Trump administration and reporting, there seems to

902
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: be a lot of unity in the mission to do

903
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: it in real time, to get things done. A lot

904
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: of you guys are in sync.

905
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 12: Right, yeah, we're absolutely in sync. I mean, this is

906
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 12: this is the entire department. Look, I've been doing acquisition

907
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 12: for a while and I think we're seeing real movement

908
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 12: at scale at velocity here.

909
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I want to thank you so much

910
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: for joining us today, and we have Vice Admiral Asko

00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: to maintain dominance in the world. Right, we do.
