11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: with the National Republican Hispanic Assembly on the ground at

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: North Carolina State Europe Headquarters. Trump got fifty percent of

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: the Latino vote in North Carolina twenty twenty four. We're

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: here at the North Carolina State Republican Headquarters and we

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: have Sandy Moyer with us. She is the state chair

00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you for having me on.

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: David.

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Welcome, You're very welcome. The Hispanic community North Carolina. A

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of dynamics going on in the twenty sixteen election,

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: a lot went for Trump. In twenty twenty, more went

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: for Trump. Right in twenty twenty four, fifty of Hispanics

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: voted for Trump in the presidential race, which you wouldn't expect.

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: Can you talk about some of those dynamics that took

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: place here, Well.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Hispanic community being the second largest

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: voting block in the nation, sixty five to six nine

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: million strong, and so it is a demographic that we

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: have to make sure that we're trying to capture because

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: it's it's they're power player and right now in elections now,

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: Trump was able to capture the sentiment, especially with a

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: lot of Hispanic men because a lot of them are

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: disenfranchised by the Democrat Party, especially when they were pushing

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: a lot of that Wook agenda.

36
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: Sure, a lot of traditional conservative Catholic.

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Voting, a lot of the traditional values, I mean speaking

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: on the transgender issue, which was an issue, the parental rights,

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: which you know, Hispanics are very family oriented and really

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: want to the autonomy of the home. So a lot

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: of the men, you know, very zealous about those type

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: of traditions and values. You know, they gravitated towards Trump's message.

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: It wasn't just the economic faction of it, it was

44
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: also the social component and so and they were also

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: they agreed with about illegal immorration in stopping the flow

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: of the lego immage that we're coming in. So a

47
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: lot of folks were voting to make sure that they

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: were securing the border.

49
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: Do you see that same level of support. Do you

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: think it's still at fifty percent for say the Republican

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: agenda or the Trump agenda. Can they retain those type

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: of numbers heading into the midterms? You think it's slipping

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: a little.

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: To be honest, I see the numbers slipping a little bit.

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: And why why do you think that is?

56
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: I think the Democrats have a little bit of control

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: the narrative. I think we need to be better a messaging.

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: Messaging.

59
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Messaging is a big thing. I think Trump is doing

60
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: amazing things. The problem is it's not getting as much

61
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: airtime as Ice is getting.

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, so let's talk about that a little bit.

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, I was in the neighborhoods in Minnesota and wherever,

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and they good was shot and you know, not everybody's

65
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: a paid agitator. They're very liberal over there, and I

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: spoke to residents in the community in the neighborhood and

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: we engaged in civil dialogue. But they don't know the issues,

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: and they think that Ice is going around just picking

69
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: anyone off the street. And the Trump administration in the

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: last week or two has really started hammering home on

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: who exactly they're picking up.

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: Is that important?

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: I think, David. I think a lot of the folks

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: that contributed to the bestaging the poor messaging with some

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: of the influencers as well. Right, So a lot of

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: these folks are paid, you know, in these channels, and

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: they're going to put what sells, which is anger rage,

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: and so they were constantly highlighting these topics when there

79
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: were other things going on, so they kind of hurt

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: the message. Then you had the Democrats, who had no message,

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: capitalized on the fact that these folks were only pushing

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: that issue. And so you have Nibcone who's Democrat control.

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: You have a lot of nonprofits in North Carolina their

84
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Democrat control. And you have a lot of the churches

85
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: who weren't actually they didn't know the issues.

86
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: They're very liberal, very liberal.

87
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: So you had a lot of the folks even promoting

88
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: that fear. I've heard people use terminology to refer to

89
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: that to as gestapo.

90
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: So Hispanics go to church, yes, and then when they

91
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: go to the church, whether it's Catholic or Methodist, mostly Catholic,

92
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: I'm assuming right, they have this liberation theology kind of

93
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Marxist agenda, but they also have this pro immigration, illegal

94
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: immigration agenda, funding it up through NGOs, up the Darien

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Gap into the US in many years, Catholic charities.

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: In the Vatican. Right, So how do we change that?

97
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: And here's the thing in the Hispanic community that is

98
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: a little bit of a recent development when it comes

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: to progressive movement getting into the churches. How do we

100
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: change that? I think we have to talk about, you know,

101
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: like we talked about for the cost of human Life.

102
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, we're seeing a shift in

103
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: our Hispanic community where even though they're conservative in values,

104
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: they're not voting conservative. And some of that is also

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: attribute to the schools. So you have a lot of

106
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: these the schools are contributing to this, the churches are

107
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: contributing to this. Folks are not educating themselves on the

108
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: h fighte that like.

109
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: In Minneapolis they let all the kids out of school

110
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: today right to go protest. They had students protesting, eight

111
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: year olds walking out of school. They're indoctrinating these kids

112
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: to hate Trump, to hate Ice, right, So how do

113
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: you count that?

114
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: I think the pastors need to step up to the

115
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: plate and do what they're called to do. If you're

116
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: a pastor, you are tasked with preaching the truth, and

117
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: the truth means all of it. And we already know

118
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: in our countries, and I say this all the time

119
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: when I speak to Hispanics, in our countries, we have

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: immigration laws and they're strict, okay, and so in our countries,

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: some of these is they would not be allowed.

122
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: So I wanted to get into the breakdown in North

123
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: Carolina of the Hispanic vote mostly Mexican, right.

124
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: From the Hispanic.

125
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, about fifty two to fifty four percent in North

126
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Carolina or Mexican, and then you have probably maybe sixteen

127
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: to twenty percent are Central American, and then lewer than that,

128
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: you have the Caribbeans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban.

129
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: So that differs from other states like Florida.

130
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: You have cube number one humans and the number one

131
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: demographic in Florida, so it's a little bit different messaging.

132
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: So Obviously in Florida, you're going to make sure that

133
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: you have a really anti communist messaging because that's what Cubans,

134
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: you know, they've just fled Cuba, and so that works.

135
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: The Republican Party actually invested twenty years to be able

136
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: to turn that voting block around here in North Carolina,

137
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: it's going to be a little bit different. It's going

138
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: to be maybe talking about protecting small businesses, opportunities for

139
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: work the economy.

140
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Are construction workers and small business own absolutely maybe percent

141
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: construction workers, about fifty two percent our entrepreneur's own restaurants.

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: A lot of them are in the hospitality business. So yeah,

143
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: they're hard working people. Some of the best tenants who

144
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: have our Hispanics, they pay their bills on time, they

145
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: train their children to make sure it's a value education.

146
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: So all these things are plus is in the community

147
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: but for and that's something that the Republican Party also promotes.

148
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: So how do are we able to translate that message

149
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: to make sure that we're promoting that within that that

150
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: we have to have give them more airtime, like maybe

151
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: have the General Sembly members talk about some of the

152
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: bills that they've passing them. But actually very beneficial to

153
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: the Hispanic community because you're talking about parental Bill of Rights. Yeah, yeah,

154
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: you're talking about.

155
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't like the woll agenda.

156
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: You talk about they went for Trump. I feel.

158
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, school choice, and we have a great state auditor,

159
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: by the way, who's making sure. Hey, a lot of

160
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: people aren't know where their tax dollars are going.

161
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of angry white people brainwashing, you know,

162
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: through the schools and stuff. And you know, these kids

163
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: are being taught to hate, you know, and uh, you know,

164
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: between that and the critical race theory and stuff going on,

165
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's got to be fixed somehow. I wanted

166
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: to talk about. And that segues into our members of

167
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: the Hispanic community even here, being radicalized by the left

168
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: more than like you were saying, you've seen it more

169
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: in the Hispanic community, and.

170
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: There's yes, you're exactly right, there's more of an intentional

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: effort to radicalize his Spandic community. And they're using ICE

172
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: to be their segue into the churches, through the nonprofits

173
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: opulously and through some of the pastors. We had several

174
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: anti ICE trainings in Charlotte. The majority of the people

175
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: that were doing those trainings were unfortunately that white demographic,

176
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: and I just want to say, like, those people do

177
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: not speak for all Hispanics, and I do resent the

178
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: fact that they think that they do. A lot of

179
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: us believe in flying law and.

180
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: Ice wasn't really going in the schools.

181
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 2: No, they weren't doing any of it. It was a lot yes, yes,

182
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: and the people that were targeting were actually they had

183
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: criminal records. That's why I say the messaging has to

184
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: be very clear. Make sure that you're putting the list

185
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: of folks like you were saying, and make sure that

186
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: people so people are knowing, so you're countering. We had

187
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: a Hispanic that was actually doing that. He was actually

188
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: taking some of those videos and pulling them full context

189
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: because people were taking them out of context and trying

190
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: to kind of dissuade the lies that were being promoted

191
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: in the community. So we have to do better some

192
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: of these Hispanic pastures, why, some of them have realized

193
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: what's happening and they're picking up that mantle.

194
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: The human costs, Right, there were like three hundred thousand

195
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: children missing on the BIS. Yes, there were only a

196
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: few hundred missing. It comes first term. They've got that

197
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: number down significantly. Again, the borders closed, ventanal deaths are down,

198
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: drug deaths overdoses. Nationwide crime is down twenty to forty percent,

199
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of our major cities, I think some

200
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: of that has contributed to the closed border and the deportations.

201
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: How does the Hispanic community in North Carolina feel that,

202
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: Do they feel that Trump is making a difference in

203
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: making things better or are they against the ice tactics?

204
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: They are hyper fixed right now, to be honest with you,

205
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: they are hyper fixed on ice. And no matter how

206
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: much there's a group that is hyperfix on ice, because

207
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: again the Democrats have capitalized on a message and have

208
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: gone full force with them. This is why I tell

209
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: people all the time, if we can take that message

210
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: and say hey, we want you to come to the

211
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 2: country legally because we care about you. We don't want

212
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: you crossing the Daarian border that is very treacherous. There

213
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: are people dying. Eighty percent of the women that cross that.

214
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: Border are rate So they're not getting the right information.

215
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: Or that it's what it is. They're not getting the

216
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: right information, and that's what we're trying to do. The

217
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: Republican National spending cost something here. North Carolina is trying

218
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: to make sure that we're in those communities and giving

219
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: the right information. And by the way, we partner with

220
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: the NCGP. The NCW GUP has been a huge supporter

221
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: of us to be able to go out there and

222
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: do that. We view ourselves as the arm of the

223
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: NCGOP to.

224
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: So, how many Republican Hispanics are there in North Carolina?

225
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: And the biggest block are unaffiliated, which is forty percent

226
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: of the vote. He is only thirty percent Republican. Yes,

227
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: thirty percent Democrat and Republicans outnumber them a little, but

228
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: there's thirty nine percent unaffiliated.

229
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: Hispanics go that way right.

230
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: Hispanic Hispanic Republicans are a very small percentage. They're about

231
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: sixteen to eighteen percent. Okay, the unaffiliated is the largest

232
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: WATH but when you break it down, eighty percent of

233
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: that unaffiliate group leans conservative.

234
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 4: Wow. All right, I'm going to ask you one more question.

235
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: If you were in charge where the borders are, if

236
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: you are, you know, in.

237
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Charge of addressing this problem, you know, going forward, what

238
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: would be your planned do you?

239
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: Would you do something different than what's going on now?

240
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: I think unfortunately what's happening right now, and it took

241
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: people of time. I know the administration is trying to stop.

242
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: The bleeding, and you're against amnesty.

243
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm against a blanket amnesty absolutely, because a lot of

244
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: folks came here the right way and waited for five

245
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: to ten years to be able to get there.

246
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: It's just billions.

247
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: Yes, it would be wrong to reward people for illegal behavior,

248
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: but is there a conversation to be had about the

249
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: ethics of our current immigration system. Yeah, I think those

250
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: people have legal stific.

251
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: Was open to DACA to get the border wall funding.

252
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: All just open to those and again, those folks have

253
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: legal status. It's just kind of in the year they

254
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 2: have to renew every two years. There's something that could

255
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: be done with that group, I'm sure, but I am.

256
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: I am against a blanket amnesty for sure.

257
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I want to thank you so much for joining us everybody.

258
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: Sandy Moyer, she's the North Carolina state chair of the

259
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Republican Hispanic National Assembly. I'm very gratefully you joined us

260
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: and I got to have you on the show right

261
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: as this stuff progresses.

262
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: I appreciate you having me on.

263
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: All right, thank you for meeting us here in North Carolina.

264
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: We'll do it again.

265
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, thank you.

266
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: We'll be back with more breaking Point right after the

267
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 4: welcome back to Breaking Point.

268
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I had fun on the ground here in Space Comm

269
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six with the one and only Billy Howell

270
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: Carefree Lago in the Ghetter Chat Oh.

271
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: Having a fantastic time with David Zeer. Yeah. And an

272
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: electric vehicle made.

273
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: For the MONE not just any this is the lunar

274
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: roving vehicle that's going to be used in the next

275
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: moon landing Artemis mission.

276
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: Right, Billy, Absolutely.

277
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: I think with this joystick it might be something we

278
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: could drive around the convention center a little bit. You

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: think it's all wheel drive, be wow, that is very cool.

280
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: We're here at Space Comm, Orlando, Florida. We obviously here.

281
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: Ali he's the director of the Space NBA program at UCF,

282
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: the University of Central Florida. Right, Florida's hotspot right now

283
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: for space.

284
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: Well, Central Florida in particular is the place for space

285
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 6: at University of Central Florida. We were found in nineteen

286
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 6: sixty three to support the POLO program. We still maintain

287
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 6: the technical excellence with which we were created. Programs across

288
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 6: engineering Science. We've got a professor, one of our scheme

289
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 6: prisfessors just over here as well. But space is not

290
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 6: just technology and government contracts anymore.

291
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: It's also commercial.

292
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 6: It's Elon Musk, it's Jeff Bezos, it's makeup, it's printing

293
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 6: organs on orbit. And to help with that, we have

294
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 6: created the first accredited Space MBA. It's a Master's in

295
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 6: Business Administrations focused on the space economy. I'm the program director,

296
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: but really the heart and soul of its Greg Autry,

297
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 6: who's the original space scholar, two time Trump nominee as well.

298
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Interesting, how is enrollment as our kids signing up? Do

299
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: we have enough STEMS students in America?

300
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 6: So we can always have more STEM students, particularly given

301
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 6: that the adversary is in the field and is moving

302
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: and we have to maintain our technical excellence that has

303
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 6: driven superiority in hegemony since you know, World War two.

304
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, so much going on in the space frontier.

305
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: And again not just military applications, which emerging threats, I

306
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,359
Speaker 1: mean the stuff they're talking about direct energy weapons EMPs,

307
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: maybe WMDs in space, but the commercial applications are so vast.

308
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: And so broad. Right now, right, there's a need for

309
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: this field.

310
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 6: So when you think about what's happening in space commercially,

311
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 6: it's not just a new sector, it's not just a

312
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,119
Speaker 6: new application.

313
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 4: It's like Columbus discovering the new world.

314
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: What all business models, what all opportunities were created by

315
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 6: that access? Right SpaceX Blue Origin. They've created that access

316
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 6: for us by driving down the cost of launch. Now

317
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 6: we need entrepreneurs, we need innovators to take advantage of that.

318
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 6: And that's really why you we're not just focused on

319
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 6: the technology of space, but we're also leading the world

320
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 6: in the business of space.

321
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Where can our view as find you and where can

322
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: they get their kids to come visit you?

323
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: When get involved?

324
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 6: Well, definitely UCF dot edu is the website business dot

325
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 6: UCF dot edu is for the School of Business. Or

326
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: you can just google Space nba UCF and it'll pop

327
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 6: right up.

328
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: All right. The Director of Space nba UCF Azza here Ali,

329
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: thank you for your time.

330
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, sir, go nice charge on so

331
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: many exciting companies on the ground at space com here

332
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: and we have Nicole with us from the.

333
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: Mojave Air and Spaceport at Rutan Field. What is that

334
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: so Mojave Air.

335
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 7: And Spaceport is a spaceport license for horizontal launch. We

336
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 7: also specialize in general aviation. There are many many things

337
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 7: happening in Mojave, hypersonics, SuperSonics. We have access to our

338
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 7: twenty five AT eight complex, which gives us restricted airspace

339
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 7: that we work really closely with Edward's Air Force space

340
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 7: with That gives us access to that supersonic sure.

341
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: So private industry also can come to you and use

342
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: it as testing facilities.

343
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah. We typically have companies like Honeywell that will

344
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 7: come out El three Harris occasionally, and of course our

345
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 7: mission partners that are located in Mohabi test with us,

346
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 7: as we.

347
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: Partner with the military at all we do.

348
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 7: When they do need testing. The military does come and

349
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 7: train a lot at Mahabi, typically in the Boneyard area,

350
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 7: but they do come out to Mohami.

351
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: So spaceports are popping up all over the place. I

352
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: was with somebody yesterday they were doing one in Uruguay,

353
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Australia other places. Is that because this industry is exploding,

354
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Space is the new frontier.

355
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 7: It is a lot of what we're noticing is that

356
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 7: vertical launches very much now. Everybody's doing it. Everybody is trying,

357
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 7: and there's not enough on the Cape or even in

358
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 7: Vandenberg or any of the other U Space Force spaces

359
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 7: that are typically allowing launches. There's not enough space and

360
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 7: time for them. So we're hoping in Mohave that we

361
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 7: can go vertical in the next couple of years to

362
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 7: help kind of alleviate that.

363
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I know you can't talk about a lot of you projects,

364
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: but what can you share any of the successes of Mahave.

365
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 7: I can Last year we had Boom supersonic. Actually during

366
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 7: the conference last year, they went supersonic and hit Mock

367
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 7: I believe it was one point two. So we were

368
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 7: really excited for them. We were really excited.

369
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: About the quiet aircraft. That is the quiet that's really neat.

370
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: That's right, So you can go over civilian populations with

371
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 4: supersonic jets without breaking windows.

372
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, we were really excited for them, and.

373
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: That was at the Mojave Spaceport. It was that's very exciting.

374
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 7: They were able to go into that R twenty five

375
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 7: O eight corridor and accomplish that SuperSonics being so well,

376
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 7: that's really interesting.

377
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: Nicole, And do you have a website or anything people

378
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: can follow.

379
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 8: We do.

380
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 7: It's www dot Mojave Airport dot com.

381
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 4: Excellent. Thank you so much for your time and good

382
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: luck at the expo. Thanks so much, right, thanks.

383
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Nicole down here in Orlando, Florida for space come and

384
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: we have NASA reps here, Austin and Gabriella.

385
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: How are you today? Good? How are you good? Good?

386
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: I'm exciting time right now in NASA. Right what ARTEMI

387
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: is coming off? But what else you got going on?

388
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 4: I mean Artimists two is the main push.

389
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: Right now, we're headed towards wet dress rehearsal and then

390
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: after that will determine a good launch date.

391
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: What does that means, wet dress rehearsal You probably have

392
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: a better exce.

393
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, wet dress rehearsal is when they fill the

394
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 9: rocket up completely with all of the payload that it needs,

395
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 9: the fuel, everything, and then test everything, make sure everything

396
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 9: is good to go for launch, and then if that

397
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 9: goes well, we'll know our launch date soon. Right now,

398
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 9: the agency is targeting no earlier than February.

399
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: Six, right, that's when there's a window for that to happen.

400
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: And right here right on Space Coast in Florida, that's great, yes, correct.

401
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Wow, So tell us about now you're you're a private contractor.

402
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: We're doing work with NASA.

403
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 9: We work for the Clicks contract where we work special

404
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 9: hand in hand with NASA with our civil servants, and

405
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 9: our mission is to support NASA and the agency and

406
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 9: everything we can do.

407
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: Why is it so important to go back to the Moon.

408
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: Gabrielle, So long term we want to get humans on Mars,

409
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: and specifically we're aiming for Americans to be on Mars.

410
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: So Moon is we want to re establish humans on

411
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: a planetary body close to us before we can.

412
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: Get to that next time, the Chinese is going to

413
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: beat us back to the Moon.

414
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 9: We don't know, but we are going to launch the

415
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 9: Moon soon.

416
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: So they're collecting water samples there right. Maybe I'm not

417
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 4: entirely sure.

418
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 9: They're going to end up doing a lot of things.

419
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 9: Artemists two, we will be launching four astronauts around the Moon.

420
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 9: It'll be a ten day mission and then they will

421
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 9: come back. Artemis three, We are actually going to be

422
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 9: launching out landing astronauts on the Moon for the first time.

423
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 4: It's very exciting.

424
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: You know, we got to the Moon the first time

425
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: without all the advanced computers at AI at slide rules

426
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: and engineers and so do you feel like that in

427
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: the US the space industry is back on trap.

428
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: A lot of exciting things. Yeah, we're super excited.

429
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 9: Regardless of how the space industry is looking, Artemis is

430
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 9: very exciting for humanity. We want to get back on

431
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 9: the Moon as soon as possible, and that is the belief.

432
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us, Austin Gabriella. We're

00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean I had a three hundred board modem in

471
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. It was really slow, but you guys are

472
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: into some really high tech stuff. How do you get

473
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: all this knowledge?

474
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 13: So we have our amazing mentors. My lead mentors are

475
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 13: Philip and Jesse.

476
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: What are your you? How did you get interested?

477
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 14: So?

478
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 8: I actually.

479
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 12: It was maker Fair out here in Orlando. I went

480
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 12: there one time and I saw these big old robots

481
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 12: and I got really interested and I helped start eighty

482
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 12: through twenty four Miko Robotics.

483
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: Did you ever win anything? Everic? I?

484
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 11: Well, I didn't personally win anything?

485
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: Did your team? My team?

486
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 11: Yes, we want to impact for one wonderful.

487
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: Now what's the difference between this and say battle Bots

488
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: because that was like my favorite show back in the day.

489
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 4: What do these robots do? What kind of tasks and

490
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: they perform well?

491
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 10: First, is all about co opotition. Co op petition is

492
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 10: about helping out other teams, and it's not.

493
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: Just about yourself.

494
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 10: Because if you're in a match and you hit a

495
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 10: robot and something goes off on them, the next match

496
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 10: you might be paid with them. So it's good to

497
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 10: help out other teams.

498
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: Wow, guys, yeah, in my world they call that.

499
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: Don't burn your bridges any guys, you have robots at home, like,

500
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: do your laundry or anything like that.

501
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: No, yeah, not yet, not yet. Maybe in the future though,

502
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: when you build one, I will buy one. I'll be

503
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 4: the first in line.

504
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Great young men here down in Orlando, Florida at Space

505
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: Space Congress from the first robotics Competition.

506
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: Where can people follow you?

507
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,400

Speaker 10: It is eight fifty seven dot com.

512
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: All right, that's awesome. Thank you guys. We'll be right.

513
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: Back with more Breaking Point on Real America's Voice Nade.

514
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Breaking Point. I'm David Zeer.

515
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: I was on the ground of Fort Bragg, North Carolina

516
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: last week with the commanding officers of the eighteenth Airborne

517
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: and cooperation with private industry and academia to get weapons

518
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: systems to our war fighters.

519
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 4: Quickly check it out, Hi, General David Zeer, Real America's

520
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 4: Voice News.

521
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: How did the President's Executive Order on Defense Acquisitions which

522
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: got codified in the NDAA come into play? Didn't have

523
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: anything to do in concert with the Joint Center here.

524
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 15: Actually, krig Joe Schneier, Persiska, and I believe This is

525
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 15: alignes certainly of the spirit of what was put in

526
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 15: the California.

527
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: It seems like there's a unison between the Pentagon, the

528
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: White House, Stephen Congress House, I'm Services Committee, and getting

529
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: rapid capabilities UH at speed and scale delivered to the

530
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: war fighters right.

531
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 15: Absolutely as putting the right skill sets in the right

532
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 15: room at the edge, as opposed to developing capability to

533
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 15: innovate in the Pentagon or somewhere else.

534
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 16: We're doing it in the field or putting the right

535
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 16: people there, getting the right feedback.

536
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: From the right solders and right meters.

537
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 17: We are really barring out into reality and we can

538
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 17: make things happen, get solders items to test, and then

539
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 17: the dry up is a great place for those items

540
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 17: to kind of join industry and become programmer record.

541
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: What is this drone here? What's the innovation here?

542
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: So this is an r Q twenty eight Scudio drone.

543
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 4: This is the box that actually comes in. So our

544
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: parent troopers.

545
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 17: Lit to jumping in r Q twenty and had no

546
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 17: will way, So we designed a drum face and it is.

547
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 4: We make put the eight house.

548
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 17: We got group from the KAYDAKX sewing up the power

549
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 17: we printed the squishy insert.

550
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, these are amazing. It replace this case. It

551
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: all fits in here.

552
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: Is that what the innovation you're still jumping in like

553
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: batteries and controllers.

554
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: So this isn't the immediate fight on the drops. So

555
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 4: this could go and be launched anywhere and then this

556
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 4: comes in.

557
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 17: So high days light on the line echelon what airlines

558
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 17: are coming here does give you in a truck spady

559
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 17: to bell with your resupplying the badge or whatever else

560
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 17: were there. This is your immediate four suit to buyer

561
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 17: on the cow and to module. So his case is

562
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 17: de Carket Earth Industry with high speed gears Henry Plumbing.

563
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 4: Right now the insury is airpaint. So as if filmy

564
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: gets outdated and.

565
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 17: Pages, do you keep the case we build your Anne

566
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 17: audience or for whatever pick came to have.

567
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 4: This is no longer just a drune tat him to

568
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 4: our modules there him days, So.

569
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 17: We are designing inserts for nods and nivided your es

570
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 17: prayers anything that fits with him.

571
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: His front weekend both does this fit in with the

572
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: army rapid capabilities?

573
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 17: Is this can go on a ruts out where if

574
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 17: you jump out with player, So we pay you send

575
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 17: a parasuber into combat self sustained for forty years, and

576
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 17: tell you do hours on the job.

577
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: That with what's in here. In fact, we're any unit

578
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: jumping and do our final test with it. Yeah.

579
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 17: They were the only unit to have airy concert the

580
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 17: first well because they were able to jump.

581
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: Into interesting on location at Fort Bragg, are nation's largest

582
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: military installation.

583
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 14: Uh.

584
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: And we have with us now the director of the

585
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: Joint Innovation out Post, Colonel Tom Monaghan. How are you

586
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: so great, Dave? Great to meet you, Thank you for

587
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: joining us. Thank you great ceremony today. Lieutenant General James Gavin,

588
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: youngest leader of the Airborne right, Yeah, thirty seven years.

589
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 16: Old, thirty seven thirty eight when he's a division commander.

590
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 16: That's a that's a record.

591
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 4: And he jumped with the troops, jump with the troops

592
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 4: for combat jumps. I think that's a record.

593
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 16: That's it's still unbroken today for combat jumps as a

594
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 16: general officer.

595
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: So this is exciting because I've been covering the Naval

596
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: Rapid Capabilities Office and I know, you know, Trump's Defense

597
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Acquisition Exascutive Order and things have you know, Really it

598
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: feels like there's a lot of impetus to get real

599
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: time solutions for an ever changing threat and battlefield.

600
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 16: One hundred percent. So speed is also a requirement. That's

601
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 16: one thing that we're kind of practically applying here. We're

602
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 16: getting rid of the old calcified processes that are stove

603
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 16: piped and very direct and they take time to go

604
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 16: through all these little wickets, and we're putting the warfighter

605
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 16: with the acquisition professional, with the funding agency, with the

606
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 16: test facility, industry, academia all.

607
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 5: Under one roof to crunch on one specific.

608
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 16: Problem at a time, and we move on and move

609
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 16: on and move on and iterate.

610
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: In concert with private sector and academia. Correct. Right, You've

611
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: got multiple eyes looking at a problem to.

612
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 16: Solve, multiple smart brains, individuals, groups, all big thing tanks

613
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 16: working on.

614
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: So is the Dragon's Layer competition. Correct.

615
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I was watching the troops were showing me a drone

616
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 1: case that was developed so the paratroopers could jump and

617
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: get on the battlefield with the drone and get up

618
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: for area reconnaissance immediately.

619
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: Correct.

620
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 16: So the beauty about that drone case scenario is from

621
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 16: the acquisition perspective, the requirement was to deliver a drone,

622
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 16: but no one ever thought about how the drone would

623
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 16: be delivered with the warfighter, so that wasn't part of

624
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 16: the requirement. So soldiers get a drone and there's no

625
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 16: way to employ that drone on the battlefield. So soldiers

626
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 16: derived the problem set.

627
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: They came up with a couple.

628
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 5: Solutions, They developed a case, then we sent it over

629
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 5: to industry.

630
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 16: Industry made it, and that whole process took to a

631
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 16: couple of months. And now they're jumping with that drone case.

632
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 16: They're protecting the equipment and they're employing that device in

633
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 16: the field to save lives. Right, these guys are first

634
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 16: on the ground. They may get the initiative over the enemy.

635
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: They could, yeah, they could.

636
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, this this place is amazing, and I'm

637
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: really glad to see that there's a priority for America,

638
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, to you know, to remain vigilant and develop

639
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: these systems that speed and scale right.

640
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 16: Correct correct speed and scale time is a requirement, and

641
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 16: that's what we're doing here.

642
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: Excellent, everybody, The director of the Joint Innovation Outpost here

643
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Fort Bragg, North Carolina, thank you, Colonel Tom Monahan, thank

644
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: you so much.

645
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

646
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 5: Thanks for being here.

647
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: We're at our nation's largest military base, Fort Bragg and Fayetteville,

648
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and we are at the Lieutenant General James

649
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: Gavin Joint Innovation Outpost with Congressman Richard Hudson from the

650
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: ninth District.

651
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: How are you, sir?

652
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: Doing great?

653
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 18: And it's an exciting day for North Carolina, exciting day

654
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 18: for the Army.

655
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina is like the epicenter of the economics and

656
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, critical seeds, House races, Senate race.

657
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: But your district goes all the way from Greensboro all

658
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: the way down to Fayetteville.

659
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: Right, that's right, it's central part of the state.

660
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: So we watched Trump sign the Defense Acquisition Executive Order

661
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: codified by the NDAA. House Armed Services Committee was behind

662
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: and backing. I think this all the way and we

663
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: spent time with the Department of War. It seems like

664
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army and the

665
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: branches are in unison in getting systems delivered to.

666
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 4: Our war fighters. Well.

667
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 18: Absolutely, and it starts with our commander in chief. Our

668
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 18: commander in chief is a guy who says, let's stop

669
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 18: doing things the way we've always done them. And let's

670
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 18: question how we're doing things and let's do them the

671
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 18: right way. And that's exactly what we need. What this

672
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 18: Joint Output Innovative Outposts means is that Ford Bragg is.

673
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 8: Now the face of innovation for the Army.

674
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 18: We're going to bring together people from academia, folks from

675
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 18: the private sector, along with our war fighters to solve problems,

676
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 18: to make sure that our war fighters have the innovation,

677
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 18: they have all the best tools that were never in

678
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 18: a fair fight.

679
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it means everything, right.

680
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: We're in changing times, logistics, cyber warfare, on manned you know, systems,

681
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: everythings are changing, are really fast out there.

682
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 18: Well in conditions on the battlefield change hourly now and

683
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 18: you've got to be able to respond. And this allows

684
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 18: us to be nimble. You know, you have a problem

685
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 18: that a soldier has in the field, can bring it

686
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 18: here and work again with academics, with private sector and

687
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 18: coming together. That census makes everybody better and it'll make

688
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 18: it quicker. And the idea is, let's get those innovations

689
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 18: back to the battlefield quickly.

690
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: I think the Army Rapid Capabilities off started in twenty sixteen.

691
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: I think the FCE maybe an three or six. The

692
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Naval Rapid Capabilities Office under John fal And has doing

693
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: amazing things in partnership with private industry, just launched in October,

694
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: I believe. So these these things are critical, But tell

695
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: us about the delivering the systems that's speed and scale

696
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: with private.

697
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 4: Industry in North Carolina.

698
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: What kind of companies are involved here and what kind

699
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: of institutions are involved?

700
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 8: Well, it's exciting. You know.

701
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 18: One that I mentioned der must beach is Hendrick Motorsports,

702
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 18: known for their involvement.

703
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 8: In NASCAR, or Rick Enter Great American.

704
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 18: He has now working with GM Defense to build a

705
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 18: new vehicle for our military. So we had the Humbie,

706
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 18: you know, the Humby's got his problems. Parts are hard

707
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 18: to get it's guid mobility issues. We've got a better

708
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 18: vehicle that's cheaper that you can get the parts off

709
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 18: the internet, and and so our war fighters have a

710
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 18: better capability, and the taxpayers get a deal because it's cheaper. Yeah,

711
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 18: and so that's that's just one example where a North

712
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 18: Carolina company is delivering by working with the war fighters

713
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 18: to figure out what they need.

714
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: North Carolina, a very special Spevco built these six mobile

715
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: museums we covered the two fifty Freedom launch up at

716
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: the Revolution Academy. These mobile museums to educate our kids

717
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: about the founding fathers around the country and another North

718
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Carolina company. You guys have a great economy here.

719
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 18: We do, and it's well, it's because we've had conservative

720
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 18: leadership and we've you know, not only have we cut

721
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 18: taxes year every year, but our folks in the General

722
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 18: Assembly understand that you've got to get rid of the

723
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 18: regulations too that are unnecessary to free up business, to

724
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 18: create a climate for businesses to thrive. That's why we're

725
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 18: one of the best places to do business in the country.

726
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 4: You guys got to pick up that Don Davis seat

727
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: to go red.

728
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 18: Absolutely, you know, we Republicans is going to hold the House.

729
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 18: I'm chairman of the campaign committee, and we've recruited great

730
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 18: candidates around the country.

731
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: I sat down Michael Wattley last night and he seems

732
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: really motivated. He's everywhere. And how about the residents of

733
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Western Carolina. How are they doing? Are they getting relief?

734
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 18: They're still suffering? I mean, these things take a lot

735
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 18: of time. We had a meeting with the governor just

736
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 18: last week in Washington with our delegation. We're doing everything

737
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 18: we can to try to get federal funds loose. You know,

738
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 18: it's the scale of the problem. I mean, forty five

739
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 18: thousand homes lost. I think they've built several hundred now

740
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 18: at this point back. But it's gonna take a long time,

741
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 18: but we're working hard on it.

742
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 4: Well, we're very excited to be here.

743
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: Lieutenant General James Gavin served in World War two Airborne.

744
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: Was the youngest leader ever commanding general at thirty seven

745
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: years old.

746
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 18: Yeah, he was the youngest division commander in the Army

747
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 18: and we took over the a second Airborne. He's the

748
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 18: only general officer to have four combat jumps, which is amazing.

749
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 18: They call him Jumping Jim Up.

750
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,240
Speaker 4: He liked to jump with the true.

751
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 18: He believed the leader ought to leave from the front,

752
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 18: and he was an incredible leader.

753
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 8: But what a lot of people don't know.

754
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 18: Is General Gavin was a leader on research and development.

755
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: He believes helicopters.

756
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 18: He pushed helicopters to move troops, which ended up being

757
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 18: a critical innovation in Vietnam era. He pushed the development

758
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 18: of missile technology. I mean, he's got quite a legacy.

759
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 4: Well, this is all timely.

760
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: We face emerging threats, real time threats around the world.

761
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: It looks like the President, the Department of War, Congress

762
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: in sync on this issue.

763
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 4: Right we are.

764
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 18: And again it's Donald Trump's vision, Donald Trump's leadership. He's

765
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 18: someone who questions everything you know. Let's not keep doing

766
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 18: it the same way. Let's look at a different way

767
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 18: to better equip our soldiers and take.

768
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 8: Care of them and their families.

769
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: Excellent, everybody, The ninth Congressional District Congressman Richard Hudson from

776
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: America's Voice News. I'm at Space Comm twenty twenty six,

777
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: where I sat down with the Commanding General of US

778

Speaker 4: Threats to our assets in space.

780
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: WMDs in space can take down our stuff in lower orbit,

781
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: direct energy weapons that are terrestrial based, maybe from China,

782
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: that can knock down our equipment, cyber attacks, hunter killer satellites.

783
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: We sat down for a candid discussion on the threats

784
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: that we're facing going forward, and the cooperation according to

785
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: Trump's Defense Acquisition Executive Order to cooperate with private industry

786
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: and academia to get weapons systems out there quickly to

787
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: our warfighters. We are here at Space comm in Orlando, Florida,

788
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: and we are sitting down with the Commander of US Space,

789
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: General Stephen Whiting.

790
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: How are you today, sir?

791
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 5: And well, David, thank you for the opportunity to talk today.

792
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I'm very honored that you took the time.

793
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: I know you're busy. You've got to get back to

794
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Rocket City, right, you got to go back to Huntsville.

795
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: I am headed to Huntsville.

796
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 14: You know, the presidents directed that our headquarters moved there,

797
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 14: and so we're spending a lot of time there making

798
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 14: that move a reality and excited for the opportunity that's there.

799
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 4: A lot going on there.

800
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: You'll be undergoing construction and building new facilities.

801
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 4: That's right.

802
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 14: You know, it's an extraordinary moment when the President stands

803
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 14: in the Oval Office and directs where your headquarters is

804
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 14: going to go. And so now we have to make

805
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 14: that a reality as fast as possible, and the real

806
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 14: opportunity for US at US Space Command is to design

807
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 14: and build a purpose built headquarters that will be exactly

808
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 14: what we need to execute our critical war fighting mission.

809
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 5: So it's an important opportunity.

810
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was important for our audience to get

811
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: to know a little bit more about Space Command directly

812
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: under the Secretary of War, and I am part of

813
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: the New Media in the Pentagon and focusing on Rapid

814
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: Capabilities Naval Rapid Capabilities Office. I was at Fork Bragg

815
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: last Friday for the Army cooperation with private industry and

816
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: academia to get stuff delivered at speed and scale. So

817
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about US, the US Space

818
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: Command and your role with private industry, the private sector,

819
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: and do you work with academia to develop systems.

820
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you for that question. You know, it's an

821
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 5: interesting time in.

822
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 14: The space business because historically, if you go back to

823
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 14: the fifties, sixties, even the seventies and eighties, governments led

824
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 14: the innovation in space. But really over the last ten

825
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 14: to twenty years, it's now private industry that is really

826
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 14: driving the innovation in space, and that's a real opportunity

827
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 14: for US, and fortunately in the United States it's American

828
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 14: commercial space companies that are really at the leading edge

829
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 14: of that, and that's a massive advantage for our nation.

830
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 14: So at US Space Command, we want to be very

831
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 14: well partnered with those companies to take advantage of the

832
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 14: new capabilities that they're developing so rapidly to execute our

833
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 14: critical missions. And then we leverage that with a partnership

834
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 14: with a number dozens of academic institutions because there were

835
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 14: getting great new ideas and also helping to train the

836
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 14: next generation of our workforce and other space organization's workforces.

837
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 5: So that's an important partnership.

838
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: For US in real time threats emerging threats around the

839
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: world and especially in space today, between direct energy laser

840
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: weapons that are terrestrial based to ASATs, anti satellite missile technology,

841
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: munitions that may be able to be deployed from satellites

842
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: or structures in space, right maybe robot arms to do damage.

843
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: How real is this threat right now? And how quickly

844
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: has this evolved?

845
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's really developed incredibly fast over the last ten years.

846
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: Now.

847
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 14: There have been threats to space systems going back decades,

848
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 14: but in that last year we've seen rapid advancement. And

849
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 14: you know, the American public may not think a lot

850
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 14: about space threats, it's you know, they can see aircraft,

851
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 14: they can see ships if they're in a you know,

852
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 14: port town, but they don't necessarily see the satellites even

853
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 14: though they're getting benefit from them. But other companies, apart

854
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 14: of me, other countries have seen how space enables are

855
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 14: an entire defense system, and they have built capabilities to

856
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 14: try to deny us.

857
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 5: And you articulated some of those.

858
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 14: It's everything from cyber attack to jamming, to direct energy weapons,

859
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 14: to directed direct anti satellite rockets that rockets that can

860
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 14: launch and hit satellites, to other satellites that we call

861
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 14: co orbital asat weapons that can attack satellites. All of

862
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 14: that is real and present today.

863
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: I was told that low orbit satellites may be in

864
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: jeopardy with these direct energy weapons. Is that a real threat?

865
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: And do you have to go deeper into space with

866
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: our equipment?

867
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 14: You know, I think each orbital regime, and you mentioned

868
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 14: lower th orbit, there's a medium Earth orbit, there's a

869
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 14: geosynchronous orbit. Each of those have their own unique threats.

870
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 14: So yes, while threats have proliferated, like directed energy against

871
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 14: lower orbit, the fact that we now have larger constellations

872
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 14: that we can leverage makes them more resilient. And then

873
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 14: there's other technologies that commercial companies and the government can

874
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 14: bring to bear that helps to mitigate that risk.

875
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 5: But it's something we have to watch very carefully.

876
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: There are reports that the Russians may have a WMD

877
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: deployable in space.

878
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 14: We've seen those reports over the last two years or

879
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 14: so of potentially putting a nuclear weapon on orbit, and

880
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 14: that has been something that was outlawed by the Outer

881
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 14: Space Treaty, and so we were very concerned about that. Yes,

882
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 14: there's international law aspect, but we're concerned about it because

883
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 14: of how irresponsible such an action would be.

884
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 5: It would hold at risk every.

885
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 14: Country satellite systems, the United States, China, Europe, Japan, even

886
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 14: Russia's own satellite systems. So, you know, our goals to

887
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 14: make sure we see that that.

888
00:41:58,880 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 5: Does not happen.

889
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: About out the e MP threat, there were talk years

890
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: ago that North Korea may have an e MP space

891
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: based type weapon.

892
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 4: Is that a real threat as well?

893
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 14: I think EMP is a threat, and typically we think

894
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 14: of that in terms of an intercontinental ballistic missile, and

895
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 14: you know, we don't want any of those kind of threats,

896
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 14: whether they're armed with nuclear weapons, EMP weapons or even

897
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 14: conventional weapons. And we've seen a proliferation of those ballistic

898
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 14: missile threats over the last several years. And that's why

899
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 14: US Space Command we have satellites and large radars that

900
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 14: maintain warning. So any launch of a ballistic missile anywhere

901
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 14: on the planet, we instantly are tracking that and providing

902
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 14: that warning up to the Secretary of War and the

903
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 14: President as well as our fielded forces.

904
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to ask you, So the whole game

905
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: is about initiative with mutually assured destruction. Right, We propershing

906
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: missiles in Europe in the eighties pretty much ended the

907
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: Cold War and away along with the SDI spending we

908
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: were doing. It gave us the initiative to hit Moscow, say,

909
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: or Russia before they could hit us. Right, if the

910
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: Russians have a device or something that could be launch

911
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: it would it be something that's launched from space directly

912
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: into the United States versus And is that something with

913
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: the Golden Dome we've come in.

914
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 14: Well, the reports that we've seen of the potential Russian

915
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 14: nuclear weapon would be it's a satellite with a nuclear

916
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 14: weapon that would be detonated in space to destroy their satellites,

917
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 14: so it would not come back to affect the population directly.

918
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 14: But imagine if we lost all of Lower Earth orbit,

919
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 14: or we lost our GPS satellites, that would have massive

920
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 14: impacts on the average American through the economy, through aviation,

921
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 14: through emergency services.

922
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 5: And so that's why we have a US.

923
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 14: Space Command has helped to defend the space systems that

924
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 14: our country is so dependent on.

925
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 4: I just have a few more questions for you.

926
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: Europe they're developing a Space Command as well. And do

927
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: we have allies and our countries aligning like the bricks

928
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: or the axis powers or is a breaking up into.

929
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 4: Groups.

930
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 14: Well, we have a number of partnerships in space. In fact,

931
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 14: at US Space Command, we maintain what we call a

932
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 14: named Operation in space and it involves six other countries

933
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 14: and so in Europe that's Britain, France, and Germany, but

934
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 14: it also includes Canada, Australia and New Zealand and we

935
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 14: as seven nations have agreed that we will operate together

936
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 14: in space each and every day. That's an American led operation.

937
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 14: I have the privilege to be the commander of that

938
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 14: and we have executed on orbit maneuvers together. We share

939
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 14: intelligence information and we maintain constant vigilance together in space.

940
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

941
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: Can you address participation of Space Command in the Mendoro

942
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: events in Venezuela as well as the Iran bombing.

943
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 14: Well, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs shortly after that

944
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 14: operation was part of a press conference with the Secretary

945
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 14: of War and the President where he talked about that

946
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 14: US Space Command and US Cyber Command provided all domain

947
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 14: effects that were incredibly integrated in planning and then in

948
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 14: execution to help open the way for those forces that

949
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 14: went in incredibly professional forces as well as provide overwatch.

950
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 5: And what that really represents.

951
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 14: David, is that in today's world, it takes all of

952
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 14: our capabilities across the Joint Force, Air, Land, Sea, Special Forces,

953
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 14: Cyber and Space all working together. And we were proud

954
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 14: of our role in that and very very proud to

955
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 14: see how that operation unfolded so successfully.

956
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: So my last.

957
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: Question is this sort of similar to SOCOM where you

958
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: have Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines involved with Space Command

959
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: and you can reach across the different branches to accomplish

960
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: a mission.

961
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 5: Yes, we are a joint command.

962
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 14: Now I have to start by talking about the US

963
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 14: Space Force I'm a Space Force officer, and we get

964
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 14: the lion's share of our capability from the Space Force,

965
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 14: and they're an incredibly portant port and partner.

966
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 5: But the Army, the Navy, the.

967
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 14: Air Force, and the Marines also give me forces and

968
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 14: people and all of that together we use to defend

969
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 14: American interest in space. And it really does take all

970
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 14: of us and the expertises of all the services to

971
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 14: achieve this outcome. And so, you know, very privileged to

972
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 14: get to work with members from all of those branches,

973
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 14: and I see their strengths each and every year.

974
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: Communications, signal, intelligence, satellite imagery, stuff like that. Is that

975
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: the where the Space Command comes in with operations.

976
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 14: You know, our operations are about supporting the rest of

977
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 14: the Joint Force you named communications, GPS, missile warning capabilities

978
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 14: again to detect those missile launches. Whether we also do

979
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 14: operations to protect and defend those satellites against the threats

980
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 14: we were talking about a moment ago.

981
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 5: Really, all the.

982
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 14: Things that the rest of the Joint Force has to

983
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 14: do on the air, at sea, or on land, we

984
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 14: have to do those same things in space. And it

985
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 14: does all start with intelligence.

986
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: One more thing, what is the role of Space Command

987
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: in the Golden Dome.

988
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, we say a US Space comand one of our

989
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,959
Speaker 14: moral responsibilities is to help defend the nation against space

990
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 14: enabled attack.

991
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 5: And you know, President Trump's.

992
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 14: Far, you know, far reaching and visionary declaration of the

993
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 14: Golden Dome is about taking care and being able to

994
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 14: defeat the threats that are now space enabled. And so

995
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 14: he talked about in the Executive Order there would be

996
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 14: space based interceptor, space based warning, and so we would

997
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 14: expect a US Space Command that we would provide those

998
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 14: capabilities to the rest of the Joint force and then

999
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 14: be tightly partnered with the missile defenses that Golden Dome envisions.

1000
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we have the commander of a US Space Command,

1001
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: General Stephen Whiting. I want to thank you so much
