After Obama Left US Town With Poisonous Water For 3 Years, Look What Trump Did In A Few

Months When Barack Obama was sworn into office, he

promised America that he would bring her back from the depths of hell, and put us back on

the map.

He persuaded A LOT of people that he was the guy for the job.

The commander and chief of the greatest country on earth is supposed to make sure that ALL

Americans are taken care of, and protected before, and after any major event.

That's not what Obama did for the residents of Flint, Michigan.

Luckily, America elected a man that would do just that.

No, it wasn't Barack Obama.

President Trump is one of the only Presidents to keep the promises he made on the campaign

trail.

Flint, Michigan is a suburb North West of Detriot.

The population of Flint is around 100,000 people.

The city of Flint has had its ups and downs like almost every city, but the biggest effect

on Flint has been the Auto Industry.

Buick provided thousands of jobs for people as well as GM in Detriot.

With the Buick lot going under, and GM helping bring down the greater Detriot economy, the

people of Flint felt it couldn't get any worse.

But it Did.

The residents of Flint woke up to the startling news that the water they were drinking was

contaminated with high levels of lead.

This was caused in 2014 when the drinking water source for the city was changed to the

Flint River.

The reason?

Poor city management of money.

Like most every liberal leaning towns, the Democratic leadership failed to pay the bills

and was forced to switch.

Scientific studies proved that the water was in fact contaminated with lead and was present

in the current water supply.

A federal state of emergency was declared in January of 2016.

Everyone in the city of Flint was told to use bottles of water that had been brought

in instead of drinking anything from the faucets.

Barack Obama promised he would tackle Flint, and hold the people who caused this disaster

accountable.

Lik always, Obama was just pandering for political points.

He was going to leave the issue to the next President who he thought was going to be Hillary

Clinton.

Hillary Clinton traveled to Flint during her campaign and talked about how much she cared

for the people of Flint, and how she was going to make sure she took care of the people there

if she were to become President.

It's almost as if she told them…

vote for me and you will get free stuff, or vote for him, and he will let you all d*e.Under

authority granted the agency by the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation

Act of 2016, the EPA issued a $100 million grant to the beleaguered city of Flint, Michigan,

to help in the effort at replacing the city's badly corroded and lead-tainted system of

water pipes.Some progressive critics of President Donald Trump have pointed to his proposed

budget cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency as proof that he is a terrible president

who doesn't care about ensuring that Americans have clean air and water.

However, the recent report from The Daily Caller about Trump's EPA grant just did

throw that narrative into a tailspin.

"The people of Flint and all Americans deserve a more responsive federal government," said

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt in an agency news release.

"EPA will especially focus on helping Michigan improve Flint's water infrastructure as

part of our larger goal of improving America's water infrastructure.""We are excited

and very grateful to receive these much-needed funds," Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said.

"The City of Flint being awarded a grant of this magnitude in such a critical time

of need will be a huge benefit."

"As we prepare to start the next phase of the FAST Start pipe replacement program, these

funds will give us what we need to reach our goal of replacing 6,000 pipes this year and

make other needed infrastructure improvements," she added.

"We look forward to the continued support of the EPA and the federal government."

As part of the deal, the state of Michigan matched 20 percent of the grant, pitching

in $20 million.

Hillary Clinton wouldn't have done anything to help the people of Flint.

How do we know this?

There isn't ONE TIME that Hillary Clinton has traveled back to Flint to check on the

people she promised so much to.

Never once has any of HER people gone back to help try and make a difference with the

Clinton Foundation.

Afterall, they're there to help people in need right?

Wrong.

The Clinton Foundation was purposely created to keep the Clinton's wealthy.

The people of Flint are happy to know that someone is finally taking action in their

city.

President Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise once again and making sure the people of Flint

have safe water to drink and use in their everyday lives.

The Democrats have done nothing for Michigan, and will never do anything.

The state was once a hotbed for new ideas and a booming economy.

After 60 years of Democrat rule, the city of Detroit is crumbling, and the state is

in disrepair.

This might be why President Trump won the state of Michigan in 2016.

Brennan Has EPIC Twitter Meltdown After Trump Orders Investigation of DOJ and FBI - Duration: 2:34.

Brennan Has EPIC Twitter Meltdown After Trump Orders Investigation of DOJ and FBI.

Obama's former CIA Director John Brennan is in meltdown mode, after President Trump

has directed the DOJ to investigate Obama's DOJ, and the FBI after it's been revealed

that the FBI placed a mole into the Trump campaign to SPY.

President Trump sent out this tweet on Sunday.

hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether

or not the FBI DOJ infiltrated, or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes,

and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

Donald J. Trump,

Brennan quickly took to Twitter, where he issued a goofy "warning" to Speaker Ryan

and Senate Majority Leader McConnell.

Senator McConnell & Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you

will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy.

You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable

Mr. Trump's self-serving actions.

John O. Brennan,

As if that was not bad enough, Brennan then sent out a "troll" tweet that made little

sense, unless of course, he was referring to himself and the entire Obama Deep State:

"Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error."

Marcus Tullius Cicero, John O. Brennan,

Clearly, Brennan is rattled, which explains why he's on Twitter, throwing "social

media tantrums."

You'll also recall that Brennan, a well-documented LIAR, was busted giving false statements in

his recollection of Hillary's involvement, in the debunked Trump-Russia dossier during

his testimony before Congress.

Brennan was also the guy who briefed Obama DAILY on false "facts" from the Trump-Russia

dossier, and stands accused of creating the entire phony Russia "set up" that we're

dealing with today.

On Sunday, the DOJ complied, in part, with President Trump's request for a probe by

instructing the IG to look into possible political motivation regarding, the FBI so-called "investigation"

into Russian collusion or interference in 2016 election.

BREAKING: President Trump FINALLY SAID IT!!! THIS IS BIG! - Duration: 2:52.

BREAKING: President Trump FINALLY SAID IT!!!

THIS IS BIG!

President Donald J. Trump announced his decision to demand an official investigation of former

President Barack Obama's administration on Sunday for infiltrating or surveilling

his presidential campaign for political reasons, Breitbart reports.

"I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look

into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political

Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!"

~ President Trump

The Justice Department quickly responded, saying Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz

would expand an ongoing internal review to determine "whether there was any impropriety

or political motivation" in the counterintelligence investigation that began during the 2016 presidential

race.

"If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate

purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action," Deputy Atty.

Gen. Rod Rosenstein

President Trump has called out the Democrats that are drooling to impeach him, as nothing

more than a "witch hunt" and saying, now it is simply out of control.

"Things are really getting ridiculous, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team are nothing

more than 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats.

STOP!!

They have found no collusion with Russia, No obstruction.

Republicans and real Americans should start getting tough on this Scam."

~ President Trump

The main problem is that those he is demanding to investigate Obama and the corruption, are

part of the ones that helped organize and carry out the corruption.

We all know that if Obama is exposed, that means Hillary is exposed as well and that

is a danger all in it's own, simply because anyone who has ever had the evidence against

her, has ended up no longer breathing.

We know she is guilty of treason and murder, but for some reason she walks free and continues

her hate and propaganda to disarm the nation.

As RWT Reported: "Every day that we fail to act on gun violence,

we are failing our children.

This should be a day for soul searching across America – and that soul searching should

be matched with legislating to begin dealing with this national shame."

~ Hillary "Butcher of Benghazi" Clinton

My advice, if the Trump administration is going to finally hammer down, then they need

to go fast and go hard, get them all or we will see them slither out of it.

Here's Who Is About To Be Booted From Trump's Cabinet - Duration: 12:17.

Here's Who Is About To Be Booted From Trump's Cabinet

After just one year in office, Donald Trump has already fired numerous members of his

administration.

Now, the latest people to be on his chopping block have been revealed.

The Los Angeles Times reported that one person who may be in danger is Trump's Secretary

of Education Betsy DeVos, who has been met with protests and ridicule since she was appointed.

She was particularly mocked for a recent "60 Minutes" interview in which she gave vague

answers on school choice, sexual assault on college campuses and other issues.

Steve Schmidt, a longtime Republican strategist, described the interview as "bad."

"She humiliated herself and the administration," he said.

"That's what Trump hates most — humiliation.

But, for now, she remains."

Another person who could be in danger is Trump's chief of staff John Kelly.

Insiders say Trump has turned on Kelly and that the president has complained the management

structure in the West Wing doesn't suit the freewheeling style he employed as a businessman.

Kelly also recently made negative headlines when he acknowledged he mishandled accusations

of domestic abuse that were made by ex-wives of Rob Porter, who resigned in February from

his job as White House staff secretary.

Trump's Secretary of Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin is also on the chopping block, as

he has been making the news for all the wrong reasons.

Back in August, he took a military jet from New York to Washington, saying he needed a

secure phone line in a trip that cost $25,000.

He also received criticism for flying on a government plane to Kentucky, where he viewed

the solar eclipse with his wife.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been on the chopping block ever since Trump slammed

him for recusing himself from the Russia inquiry last year.

"So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking

into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?" Trump tweeted last summer.

Schmidt said that at some point, the humiliation "may just be too much to overcome" and

that Sessions "might leave on his own … you would think that might have happened months

ago."

Who do you think the next person to be fired from Trump's White House will be?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Bruno Mars again that's good sorry and many songs I get enough of him

hey it's paisley returns to New York City Tuesday I thought this morning I

should have brought y'all a gift we honestly we hit the ground running we

did not have time to shop so I do apologize I should be 14 they sell that

I went to the Royal Wedding and all I got was that stupid t-shirt in front of

our building right I don't think you have to get us presents now that we're

grownups I think you could actually go on a trip you have to come back you

don't like it right because I did find some time to shop for Haven anyway great

job and good coverage thank you glad to have you back in the meantime on this

Tuesday we start with a Baltimore a massive manhunt intensifying this

morning for a cop killer Baltimore Police are sending out search dogs now

for they're looking for the suspects after a veteran female cop is killed

responding to a call all right top I roll live in studio with the

developments in Baltimore Todd Steve Ainsley and Brian good morning right now

as the Sun rises the search for several suspects intensifies right now they are

wanted in connection with the death of that officer and is expected to ramp up

the intensity there in the next few hours no suspects considered armed and

dangerous meantime schools in the area opening on time after students were

locked in their buildings well into the evening during day one of the manhunt

according to the Baltimore County police chief the female officer was responding

to a possible burglary when witnesses reported hearing a pop then watching her

get run over by a Jeep an autopsy and review of unreleased body cam video will

help determine how she died this marks the 26th officer killed on the job this

year we're seeing something in this country today that we've never seen

before we're seeing police officers assaulted the number of officers who

have died in the line of duty is up this year this is a bad time in the

States for law enforcement and the attacks that are occurring the death of

that officer set off a manhunt for the suspects early yesterday afternoon that

as you can see stretched into the evening hours as police searched the

densely populated suburban neighborhoods in that area police said they recovered

a jeep that was involved but would not confirm whether it had been stolen or

how many people were inside it that unidentified officer would have marked

just four years on the force in July Steve Ainsley Brian a terrible story all

right Todd thank you very much all right it's four minutes after the

top er can you imagine this after the president united states sent out that

tweet 36 hours ago where he said you know I'm gonna demand an investigation

into whether or not the Department of Justice and the FBI had a spy inside my

campaign can you imagine if he actually sat down with the head of the FBI and

the guy who was running the collusion investigation well that happened

yesterday yes right four o'clock can you imagine and the president went along

with rod Rosen Singh's idea that they would have the inspector general look

into any irregularity I love to that general Kelly is going to be in charge

of making sure this stuff comes forward he's not someone who people to say well

he's just a politician or he's somebody working on the campaign almost to his

detriment he's got he's a lawn order guy in charge person who's gonna say no no

you didn't give me all the documents I need these or I don't need that or you

cannot tell me that that's highly classified and that we can't see that

because I have the highest classification and that can come folk I

just can't believe he didn't request it before that I think he finally got to

the point where he said enough is enough if no one else is gonna request this

then I'm gonna have to do it I didn't want to be the one but I'm going to but

if you're spied on wouldn't you want to know why you were spied on wouldn't you

know who didn't want to know who did it and why they did it

well the vice president sat down with Martha last night and he commented on it

listen with their revelations that our campaign may have been the subject of

surveillance by the FBI the president I think is grateful that the Department of

Justice is going to have the Inspector General look into

and determine and ensure there was no surveillance done for political purposes

would be very troubling to millions of Americans that that took place but we're

very confident that as the Inspector General has been doing their work

looking at the conduct of the FBI during that period that by adding their focus

to this that we'll get to the bottom of it because the American people have a

right to know what's right yeah what prompted that one informative come

forward what makes you think there's just one and that come forward but to be

exposed by speaking with Clovis Papadopoulos and quarter-page to prove

to see with their Russian connections right just be one yeah Nina salute

saying they're not anymore yeah could there be more and the other question I

think is pretty clear as out Durst what says in today's New York Times for the

first time he's seeing a strategy with the Trump team instead of sitting back

and wondering when this is going to end Rudi's say in September first if you

wanted an interview you have Senator Lindsey Graham saying you know let's

have a second counsel and then you have the vice president yesterday saying with

the president saying right and while John Kelly the chief of staff is

apparently going to be the referee between the Department of Justice who

Republicans are suggesting are stonewalling the Republicans are also

saying we need the information about that confidential informant but it was

very clear yesterday the FBI and the DOJ are not going to give up that

information because if they tell infra details regarding that guy they're gonna

have to reveal around other informants as well and that is bad for the system

so they're not going to do that well of course there's criticism from the left

if they don't like this president anything he does so they're all up in

arms they're freaking out saying he shouldn't have done this listen to Psalm

on top we call it a SOT montage a montage of all these different sounds on

tape that's why we call it a SOT sounds on tape of different Democrats from the

Obama administration going on all the sunday shows or all the shows yesterday

and talking about this I think that's actually very disturbing assault on the

independence the Department of Justice and I think when the president this

president any president tries to use the department justice is kind of a private

investigator E body that's not good for the country I think what we're saying

here the president has just taken his all-out

assault on the rule of law to a new level and this time he is ordering up an

investigation of the investigators who are examining his own campaign you know

that's really shocking what was shocking about it it's not

shocking that Sally Yates and James clapper would go out on television

because keep in mind they were part of the Department of Justice and the CIA

and I don't want they want the information out exactly see why a rush

limbaugh says the original mission of people in the former administration has

failed it's clear that the original objective failed the original objective

was to get rid of Trump they're so powerful they can write whatever script

they want and sell it to the drive-by media have it run by convincing people

that his election was fraudulent because the Russians hated Hillary and wanted

him to win because he's dufus it all starts with the Russians supposedly

hacking a DNC server when that didn't work plan B was to ramp it up and to

flood the zone in four different stories every day from anonymous sources deep

inside the intelligence communities or whatever furthering the idea that there

was collusion by Russia with Trump that didn't work so mark Penn said yesterday

former Clinton operative pollster or best-selling author he's outraged right

to comment he'll say what's going on here with this investigation it's got to

stop it's bad for the country as he believed it was in 98 and there's

another trend the same as 98 the president's numbers are going up and so

is Noah tricking the generic poll between Democrats and Republicans with

the people out there prefer and then you know who realizes that Nancy Pelosi and

Chuck Schumer so they're trying to come up with something besides Donald Trump's

terrible and the Russians through the election what's interesting though is

they were all about that Russia Russia Russia thing they started investigating

that and now we pull back the layers of the onion and it looks like they were

the ones doing something wrong and they're getting caught sure so going

into the midterm what sort of potent message will the

Democrats draw on it better be good something good it is really good in fact

Ainsley it is something that is won elections in the past the Democrats are

now embracing this message not kidding drain the swamp watch president Trump

has embraced the most egregious establishment Republican norms and

appointed the most conflict of interest ridden cabinet in my lifetime the swamp

has never been more foul or more fetid than under this president instead of

delivering on its promise to drain the swamp presidents Trump has become the

swamp we want Republicans and their corrupt big donor driven agenda to get

out of the way it has given the American people a raw deal well the Democrats

internal polling have shown that people want to weed out corruption in DC and

rather than just talk about how Donald Trump is a bad guy Republicans stink

they're gonna say it's time to drain the swamp I'm glad it's original alright go

Clapper Flies Into PANIC MODE Over Trump's Latest Att*ck on The Deep State - Duration: 2:22.

Clapper Flies Into PANIC MODE Over Trump's Latest Attack on The Deep State

James Clapper is mirroring John Brennan by having an absolute MELTDOWN over President

Trump's latest move against The Deep State.

Clapper is now desperately trying to defend the spying tactics the FBI used against Trump's

campaign and is calling his calls for an investigation into the FBI/DOJ "disturbing."From The

Daily Caller

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Monday that the FBI having an

informant seek to gather information on the Trump campaign is a "legitimate activity."

He said it is "disturbing" that President Trump would call for an investigation into

the Department of Justice.Clapper, currently a CNN security analyst, said he is not OK

with Trump ordering an investigation into the DOJ, saying, "that's actually a very

disturbing assault on the independence of the Department of Justice."

"When this president or any president tries to use the Department of Justice as a private

investigatory body, that's not good for the country."

Clapper said he is concerned about "politicizing what is a legitimate activity, and an important

one, on the part of the FBI.

They use informants and have strict rules and protocols under this."

"But the big thing here is, this is not about spying on his campaign.

It's about what the Russians are doing.

Were they attempting to infiltrate the campaign?

And that was the concern and that in my belief is what the focus of this whole activity was

about."Cuomo asked why the bureau did not come to the campaign openly, instead of monitoring

it in secret.

"This is one of many techniques you can use" to determine whether there being foreign

interference in the election, Clapper replied.

"In fact, we ought to think of it as part of the effort of the FBI to keep the nation

safe and secure and protect our voting process," he said later.

Robert Mueller Is About To Make A Fatal Mistake By Targeting This Trump Advisor - Duration: 10:18.

Robert Mueller Is About To Make A Fatal Mistake By Targeting This Trump Advisor

Anti-Trump zealot Robert Mueller is about cross a bright red line.

The special counsel has set his sights on this Trump advisor.

But Mueller is about to make a fatal mistake.

Trump advisor Roger Stone is at the center of Robert Mueller's witch hunt.

The media and Democrats have used misleading stories and out of context tweets to claim

– without providing any evidence – that Stone colluded with the Russians during the

2016 campaign.

Stone has strongly denied these allegations, but special counsel Robert Mueller is desperate

for a scalp to justify his witch hunt.

Stone appeared on Meet the Press and declared that he expected Mueller to fabricate a crime

and indict him.

Stone's protégé Sam Nunberg appeared on MSNBC and echoed the same sentiment.

Nunberg predicted Mueller would indict Stone on a financial crime.

The Daily Caller reports:

FORMER DONALD TRUMP ADVISER SAM NUNBERG PREDICTED SUNDAY ON MSNBC THAT LONG-TIME TRUMP ALLY

ROGER STONE WOULD PROBABLY FACE AN INDICTMENT FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER'S INVESTIGATIVE

TEAM.

"HE WILL GET INDICTED ON SOME STUPID FINANCIAL THING."

NUNBERG, WHO HAS REFERRED TO STONE AS A MENTOR AND EVEN A FATHER FIGURE, TOLD MSNBC'S ALEX

WITT THAT HE CALLED STONE JUST BEFORE HIS OWN GRAND JURY APPEARANCE TO WANT HIM THAT

HIS NAME WAS ALREADY INVOLVED.

"MY LAST PHONE CONVERSATION WITH ROGER WAS THE SATURDAY BEFORE MY FRIDAY GRAND JURY APPEARANCE

WHERE I EXPLAINED TO ROGER THAT I HAD RECEIVED A SUBPOENA AND HIS NAME IS ONE THAT I WOULD

HAVE TO HAND OVER ALL COMMUNICATIONS," HE SAID.

CLAIMING THAT MUELLER'S TEAM WAS TREATING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ASSOCIATES

LIKE MEMBERS OF THE MAFIA, NUNBERG COMPLAINED THAT GANGSTER-TURNED-FBI-INFORMANT WHITEY

BULGER RECEIVED BETTER TREATMENT FROM MUELLER.

NUNBERG WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE DOES EXPECT STONE TO BE INDICTED, LIKELY ON A FINANCIAL

MATTER.

"HE WILL GET INDICTED ON SOME STUPID FINANCIAL THING.

HE WILL EVENTUALLY, I BELIEVE, BEAT IT BECAUSE THAT IS ANDREW WEISSMANN'S TRACK RECORD."

But Mueller indicting Stone for a crime unrelated to the 2016 election or Russian collusion

would be a fatal mistake.

The American people won't put up with Mueller using the election as the pretext to jail

individuals simply because they support Donald Trump.

Stone said on Meet the Press that Mueller was out to silence him.

And that is true.

Mueller wants to send a message on behalf of the swamp that if you support Donald Trump

– or if you want to support the campaign of a populist outsider like Donald Trump – you

risk being thrown in jail for opposing the establishment.

Indicting Stone could lead to a collapse in support for the Mueller investigation and

strengthen Donald Trump's political position.

We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this story.

Five: "Trump demands PROBE of CAMPAIGN SPY" - Duration: 12:48.

president Trump just wrapping up a meeting with FBI director Chris Rea

Deputy Attorney General rod Rosenstein and Director of National Intelligence

dan coates at the White House this comes as the president is demanding answers

over a series of reports that an FBI informant was in contact with Associates

of his campaign Trump tweeting that the DOJ needs to investigate if his campaign

was quote infiltrated or surveilled and if the Obama administration was involved

the DOJ is responding by asking its Inspector General to look into these

allegations vice president Mike Pence is reacting to the latest developments in a

sit-down with martha maccallum the president I think is grateful that the

Department of Justice is going to have the Inspector General look into it and

determine and ensure that there was no surveillance done for political purposes

against our campaign I think it would be very troubling to millions of Americans

that that took place House Committee Chairman Devin Nunez is saying if this

is true it is a major scandal if they ran a spy ring or an informant ring and

they were paying people within the Trump campaign if any of that is true

that is an absolute redline you can't do this to political campaigns I mean this

was done I mean according to them this was done in in the spring

I mean before the counterintelligence investigation was even open if that's

true we need to know about it meanwhile former DOJ officials Sally

Yates is losing it over president Trump's requests I think what we're

seeing here is the president has just taken his all-out assault on the rule of

law to a new level and this time he is ordering up an investigation of the

investigators who are examining his own campaign you know that's really shocking

all right so you'd expect people from the Obama administration to say things

like that director former CIA director John Brennan also lashed out on Twitter

but if this information is correct Kimberly how devastating would it be for

our intelligence agencies I it's quite disconcerting isn't it when

you think about that if there was actually an active spy operation within

a campaign you would hope that if they thought that there was something that

was at risk you know with respect to Russian intelligence that they would in

fact go to Canada Trump at the time or some official within the campaign and

say listen we have some information and belief that perhaps your campaign could

have an issue and someone could try to get involved or try to get intelligence

from you etc but that didn't happen so it sort of just really belies the the

truth accuracy of it and then you saw the New York Times sort of preempt put

this out there in advance of the IG report which is expected to be quite

damning right so they put this out they say well this is why we were doing it

really looking out for you we're looking to protect you but it just doesn't ring

true does it because it just seems why wouldn't you be transparent and tell

them instead of sort of trying to catch or entrap or do something like that what

the FBI's job is not to spy on you know campaigns or place somebody within an

organization like that it's just simply completely out of bounds right Comey

said he was suspicious in the spring of 2016

decided not to inform the campaign in the spring that that Russians might be

up to something and then they looked at Papadopoulos I think in July or August

Gregg and they didn't even interview him until January they waited six months why

not if Papadopoulos had heard something why not just ask him straight up what's

going on well first the more that they keep trying to find collusion the more

they find Democrats and this this this scandal or the pseudo scandal whatever

it turns out to be it's actually easier to explain to the American public than

all of the other collusion stuff they sent an informant in to trap Trump is

easier to explain I love the media explanation for this we

were only Swede only sent this informant in there to protect Donald Trump we were

spying on you as a favor that's I saying I'm stalking you as a favor I stole your

car so no one else would steal your car it's actually the plot of national

treasure when Nicholas Cage stole the Declaration of Independence

so being what's his name Sean beans gang wouldn't take it I get that as a movie

but here it's a bit absurd so why did this happen why did why did Brennan if

it was and why did they do this setup why do

they set the trap I believe that they thought that they were doing God's work

that they were energized by the frantic alarmist media about Trump of which I

include myself in it because I was every bit as like worried about Trump as

anybody during the campaign so I have to say that I'm part of that alarmist media

I think if you watch the news and you're a part of the news and you were part of

the government you convinced yourself that a Perret if Trump became president

the country was in peril and therefore doing something like this which was

illegal is actually patriotic that's what struck

himself Texas yes I need to save the country you have a trunk but they now

they're wrong I've admit I was wrong so they got admit

they're wrong they might have to go to jail yeah you're making more money than

usual so Donald Trump has asked the DOJ to do this flipping the script

essentially what will this do to the Moller investigation does this hasten

the end of it does this elongate it how do you see it going

I saw Chris Christie doing an interview today where he said that he's given

President Trump a lot of advice and that he said that there he tells them there

are ways to shorten this investigation and ways to make it longer and it's so

far President Trump has taken every step to make it longer so I don't know I

don't know if when Rudy Giuliani said this weekend that Muller told me it'll

be wrapped up by September first Michael I don't even know if I would say that

because do you want to hang out this whole summer and I I am willing to

believe that the Obama team mm-hmm had done this right that they were like

politically act nota vated but all of these things of if it's true if it's

true if it's from reminds me of they wiretap me at Trump Tower which turns

out not to have been the case I guess we don't know I mean unless maybe in the

whole investigation we find out that somebody on the campaign did have a

wiretap or something like MIT had an apartment at Trump Tower yeah well then

maybe they shouldn't hire man aboard I think they probably

I'm one that is willing to wait for the evidence and I think if the Inspector

General who everyone seems to admire at least so far until they say something

that he doesn't like okay that everyone thinks that he's doing a pretty good job

we're waiting for the report that he has on Hillary Clinton's emails it should

come out any day now maybe like it by today and within the hour

I do think that the Hillary Clinton team has a right to be somewhat mad that they

their position is you mean to tell me that the FBI was willing to go out on

the record with the director to say that I was being and that I was being

investigated by Hillary Clinton and meanwhile they played down New York

Times inquiries about the Trump team being under investigation for a Russian

collusion yeah I don't think they thought Trump was gonna win well I don't

who the FBI Hillary I didn't know at that point I think Hillary should be

upset that the government didn't send the spy into her campaign to protect her

protect her from herself exactly the email issue according to the

media Greg it was not a spy it was just an informant right Wang that's true just

an informant okay what and also I mean just this set the record straight

because Donald Trump president Crump said embedded there was nobody embedded

in the campaign this guy is a professor or something we're in Britain and what

he did was he came into contact with three officials three of whom had

already previously been implicated in terms of connections to Russia we heard

it was four officials well okay I'll go with three I'll go with Carter page I'll

go with George papadopolis right and who's the other the other two of linen

metaphor no no there was another one okay either way embedded and you talk to

for campaign people Sam a lot Clovis no Sam Clovis that's the other one thank

you no so but the point is nobody was embedded and so what you have is a

legitimate investigation to the idea that Russia is interfering in an

American election and they don't launch by the way a criminal investigation they

do a counterintelligence investigation and so all they're doing is trying to

find out what's going on now the thing that concerns me and I and I pick up on

this run I think this is what Sally Yates was talking about is you know what

we rely on our intelligence people and people who are sources and if you

start outing them this comes from Christopher remember Trump's guy at FBI

you do that you put the American people he put the American public at great risk

if we can't protect our agents yet they made it pretty clear who he was in a

number of ways by the way if they really did care if they really did care they

would have been fair about this and they would have they would have dealt with it

both campaigns you could they could win now they're saying now like oh the

Russians were more interested in Trump but that's convenient sure now that

everybody finds out that you've been putting everybody from the demócratas in

Senate committee has said Russia favored wanted Donald Trump to win we learned

this weekend the Saudis the Israelis also were saying yeah we we have an

interest in helping you out mr. Trump said with Hillary because they probably

here's a fact one a week after the DNC server was allegedly hacked by the

Russians they open up a counterintelligence investigation to see

about Russian hacking but Kimberly they never seized the server they never

looked at the server Randa investigation on the server determined whether or not

it was indeed hacked didn't you think wouldn't you think that would be the

first thing they did think because they're looking into Russian actual

evidence there so how about turn over the physical tangible evidence so they

can do a proper forensic examination and see if they can delete any retrieve file

you know retrieve any deleted files etc so it just really just shows the

hypocrisy and how disingenuous because when they have evidence of actual

malfeasance and things going on they don't do anything about it but then they

try and conjure up like evil spirits an idea of collusion and then say just look

it out for your buddy and they put someone in your campaign so they're

changing the story saying no no no we're just trying to protect you but no wait

it was an informant but it's not a spy but it's I mean it's verbal you know

gymnastics I'm gonna see through it none of this none of this changes anything so

why don't why I don't think one I don't think it changes

bitte so we still are dealing with the idea that Russians tried to interfere in

campaign we're still waiting to find out what Muller has and what we have is the

president and his aides throwing this up and everybody says well now the

president says this maybe he didn't maybe they threw this up this was a leak

from no no nope on the Intelligence Committee in the New York Times in the

Washington Post get out ahead of this because this is all coming up I'll tell

you why I hereby order my own Justice Department sure now the Justice

Department's a political tool it was not political rock Obama because under the

Obama administration ap reporters and Fox News reporters were

looked into Congress was surveilled war leaders were surveil and while the

sudden an opposing campaign is surveilled and everyone's saying oh you

know what was that about much to my chagrin because I mean I

didn't like it but you know what they were after leaks leaks from the White

House and the admission this is exactly what Trump complains

about it leaks and so they crack down on reporters and wait long I don't think is

legitimate that's what everything was said about this has been wrong they said

McCabe doesn't leave my home he doesn't leak

no one was surveilled Hillary didn't pay for the dossier there was no spying

there was no one in the campaign everything turned out to be wrong just

you know what it is we are at the last call at the collision occlusion Bar and

Grill and the media and Democrats are trying to figure out what to do next

all right the shots everybody the gun control debate heats up after Friday's

school shooting in Texas details up next

Creepy Lawyer, Avenatti's, Connection to UK Spies & Anti Trump Coup Just Got Exposed - Duration: 10:28.

Creepy Lawyer, Avenatti's, Connection to UK Spies & Anti-Trump Coup Just Got Exposed

We are finding out more and more every day about the salacious scandals that took place

during the Obama administration.

We have now been presented with information which may show a connection between porn star

Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and anti-Trump FBI spies in the United Kingdom.

WikiLeaks' Julian Assange posted multiple tweets back in March of this year.

The tweets were directly related to a spy who was involved in "Obamagate."

That spy is Joseph Mifsud.

One of Assange's tweet explained that "Mifsud worked in Riyadh for a 'think tank' run

by the former head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Turki al Faisal.

(BBC)" Mifsud is one of three people who is linked

directly to British (and/or) United States Intelligence.

It seems that George Papadopoulos was targeted by these individuals.

Papadopoulos was a lower level campaign member for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The others who were involved are Alexander Downer and Stefan Halper.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Mifsud and Papadopoulos obtained positions at an organization named the Centre for International

Energy and Natural Resources Law & Security.

Papadopoulos was a 'nobody' and the Centre sketchy at best.

Mifsud vanished in early November 2017, shortly after Papadopoulos was in the news and indicted.

His whereabouts are still unknown.

Although the common story is that Mifsud is a Russian Agent, many ties seem to lead [him]

back to UK Intelligence.

Julian Assange's Twitter Threadnotes the connection between Mifsud and UK Intelligence.

The creepy lawyer of Trump accuser and porn star Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, has

been found to have ties to a Saudi Prince by the name of Turki al Faisal.

It seems that the lawyer and the son of the prince had raced cars together.

On top of that, there's another huge bomb here.

The Saudi Prince was a huge donor of the Clinton Foundation.

It's important to remember that accepting money from foreign political campaigns in

our country is illegal.

BOOM! Devin Nunes: If FBI Paid to Spy on Trump - Duration: 11:08.

BOOM!

Devin Nunes: If FBI Paid to Spy on Trump "It's Absolute Red Line!

It's Over With!…

No Honest American Will Stand for This!"

(

Rep. Devin Nunes (D-CA) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the latest

developments in the Deep State interference in the 2016 US elections.

It has been widely reported that the Obama administration had a spy working inside the

Trump campaign.

As previously reported internet sleuths have determined who the FBI spy was inside the

Trump campaign.

Jeff Carlson at theMarketswork on Thursday put together a piece where he places an individual

by the name of Stefan Halper as a potential FBI spy into the Trump campaign.

(Note that some believe that Obama may have had more than one spy on the Trump campaign).

It was a lucrative business for Stefan Halper.

Stefan Halper was paid a total of $411,575 in 2016 and 2017 for work with the US government

that included his work spying on the Trump campaign.

Devin Nunes told Maria Bartiromo if this is true, "It's over!"

Rep. Devin Nunes: If any of that is true, if they ran a spy ring or an informant ring

and they were paying people within the Trump campaign, if any of that is true that is an

absolute red line.

There's not and honest person in this country who could believe that taxpayer dollars going

to fund this ring and operate like this what is said in The New York Times that has quite

a bit of detail on it, if any of that is true it's a red line in this country.

You can't do this to political campaigns.

According to them this was done in the spring before the counter-intelligence was even open.

If that's true, we need to know about it…

If they paid someone it's an absolute red line and this is over with!"

Moon Jae-in visits DC to save Trump-Kim summit - Duration: 1:46.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is more popular than ever at home, and he has diplomacy

with North Korea to thank.

Now he just needs to make sure it survives contact with President Donald Trump's negotiating

tactics.

"We cannot let that country have nukes.

We just can't do it," Trump told the press recently.

Trump is scheduled to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un next month, and he's not

backing down on his insistence that North Korea should completely dismantle its nuclear

program in exchange for sanctions relief.

But North Korea has strongly rejected that plan — so much so that Trump is reportedly

rethinking attending the summit after all, according to The New York Times.

Now Moon is visiting the White House, and his top priority is to convince Trump that

diplomacy is still worth pursuing with the North, even if he doesn't get what he wants

right away.

Moon helped lay the groundwork for the summit by emphasizing the North's willingness to

eventually denuclearize.

He also credited Trump for a lot of the diplomatic progress on the peninsula, even suggesting

Trump should win the Nobel prize.

Now that tensions are flaring up again, Moon is on the hook to convince the U.S. that North

Korea really does want to reach a diplomatic agreement.

Relations between the U.S. and South Korea could sour if Trump feels like Moon overpromised

on what Kim was willing to give up.

But Moon's faced political risks throughout the process.

His approval rating in South Korea dropped several times during the 2018 Winter Olympics

due to concessions he made orchestrating North Korea's participation.

And it's worth remembering that less than a year ago, Moon had to worry about North

Korean missile tests and U.S. plans for a pre-emptive strike.

Trading those fears for diplomatic headaches still probably seems like a good deal to South

Korea.

good morning everyone and thank you mr. vice president for

administering the oath let me begin by thanking president Trump for joining us

today and for offering those kind words mr. president it means a great deal to

me and to the agency that you made time to come out to Langley for this ceremony

you have placed enormous trust and CIA throughout your presidency and the men

and women of CIA do not take that for granted so thank you mr. president for

your confidence in me and your steadfast support of our mission and our people I

am truly honored to have this opportunity to lead the best workforce

in government it has been nearly 50 years since an Operations Officer rose

up through the ranks to become the director and after the experience of the

last two months I think I know why that is I look out in the crowd today and I

see a strong representation of the CIA's past present and possibly even the

future I am looking at two young ladies special guests who join us today CIA has

been more than a career it has been for me like many of you a calling in this

building and around the world today there are officers carrying out a vital

mission sometimes a great personal risk I want each of you to know that I took

on the position of Director because I want to represent you as well as lead

you my years at CIA have rewarded me in ways that I could never have imagined

and I will continue to give it and you my all there are countless role models

and mentors who paved the way for me to stand here today as the director I want

the current CIA leadership team to be role models and mentors for our next

generation of officers who will walk the streets of far-flung capitols and work

the late nights here at headquarters and abroad for me being director is about

doing right by all of you so that you have the tools and support needed to

carry out our sacred mission every CIA officer has taken the same oath that I

just did to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies and

today I recommit that I will do every in my power to justify the faith that

President Trump and the American people have placed in us and to make sure that

CIA continues to provide the intelligence needed to keep our country

safe I would be remiss if I did not also note the tremendous pride I take in

being the first woman to serve as director I would not be standing before

you today if not for the remarkable courage and dedication displayed by

generations of OSS and agency women in roles both large and small who challenge

stereotypes broke down barriers and open doors for the rest of us I am deeply

indebted to them and I'm extremely proud to follow in their footsteps and to

carry on their extraordinary legacy I stand on the shoulders of heroines who

never sought public acclaim but served as inspirations to the generations that

came after them I also want to express a special thank you and welcome to Eliza

and Zoey who have joined us today the notes from these two young ladies ages 6

& 7 sent to me sat on my desk these last two

months and motivated me daily in their own words and pictures they express

their excitement about the opportunity my nomination represented and to Eliza

and Zoey I would simply say we did it

lastly and allow me just a moment to talk about the future of this agency a

little over a year ago secretary Pompeo first spoke to me about becoming the

deputy director at that time he said CIA is the world's pre-eminent intelligence

service and I want to make sure we position it to stay that way Mike was

right we are the best and our challenge is to always be the best we cannot rest

on our laurels we must learn from the past but we cannot dwell in the past we

must constantly learn adjust improve and strive to be better we demanded of

ourselves and America deserves nothing less that includes boosting our foreign

language proficiency strengthening our partnerships overseas and here at home

and deploying more of our officers to the foreign field we are a foreign

intelligence service and our workforce and our priorities need to reflect that

we also need greater focus and effort on the strategic threats our nation faces

as well as the persistent threat from global terrorism as always the key to

our success against these challenges will be empowering the incredible talent

that resides within CIA the men and women who serve here are a national

treasure from the operations officers who collect our intelligence to the

analysts who contextualize and evaluate it for senior policymakers to the

support officers who enable every aspect of our mission to the scientists

engineers and cyber specialists who give us a decisive edge over our adversaries

the only way to confront these threats is to forge ahead with determination and

with the same expeditionary spirit that has defined our agency since its

founding more than 70 years ago I am profoundly honored to lead you in that

fight and to work alongside each one of you as we advance our vital mission so

mr. president thank you again for giving me the opportunity to serve

to represent the men and women of CIA and to carry out the critical work of

helping protect our country our people and our way of life thank you very much

you

this calendar year we continue to break barriers the x-37 launched a week and a

half ago right before a hurricane irma hit it was launch number 15 for us this

year that means we have launched more than Russia and we have launched more

than China in addition to that we have also landed seven thousand nine

first-stage boosters we have demonstrated that we can launch every

vertical launch system in the u.s. inventory and now flying autonomous

flight safety systems we've taken our capability to launch quickly from 72

hours last year to now I can shoot twice in 24 hours we provide everything the

warfighter needs in space thank you very much

my name is Jennifer grant I'm the commander for the fiftieth Space Wing at

Schriever Air Force Base and it's a pleasure to be here today at Schriever

we have six thousand eight hundred and eighty people assigned here to the wing

and we've been focused primarily on providing global combat effects the

video you just witnessed is what we do in part at Schriever but just like we've

been talking about breaking down barriers that's what we're doing at

Schriever as well and at the fiftieth we're now focused on evolving space and

cyber space war fighting superiority through integrated and innovative

operations and that affects our global positioning system our communication and

space space situational awareness and we also have at Schriever in the fiftieth

the third third space that experimental squadron doing some of our or on-orbit

testing for new systems and our communication squadron which is at the

forefront of the Air Force's cyber space cyber squadron initiative our space

mission force has been the leader in space and with the shift and change in

landscape for space and cyberspace operations from the assumption that we

could operate in a benign environment to an acknowledgment that space and

cyberspace are contested congested and can be degraded we've been at the

forefront of the space mission force development as it relates to and

supports the space superiority initiatives this construct and ensures a

more consistent presentation of forces as you've heard to the combatant

commanders although we've referred to this in large part at our wing as being

deployed in place we have a four month deployment phase on console and four

month dwell time during which period we are focused on developing our tactics

and procedures and doing some advanced academic training we began this

construct on the 1st of February in 2016 and we're eighteen months in and ready

to begin the next rotation on the 1st of October we really are beginning to break

down that barrier of reconstituting our forces and being prepared for a degraded

contested environment in space thank you

I'll choose this mic good afternoon I'm Colonel David Miller or the commander of

the 460 is faithing Panthers our mission set is to provide ballistic missile

warning and infrared surveillance for this nation in our allies so on behalf

of the men and women of the 460 is spacing I'd like to say you're welcome I

think the best way to to introduce the wings mission sets is perhaps to

introduce one of the airmen I brought with me today senior Airman Jacquelyn

kid is standing up or she's going to be standing up shortly there she is right

there he's one of our senior Airmen who's actually the youngest mission crew

chief we're going to have on our crew force and one of the most talented

operators and war fighters that we have thank you for coming you guys over a big

round of applause

because on that operations floor 24 hours a day seven days a week

there is no backup team that's gonna do the missile warning mission for America

it's her and the war fighters that she does the job with on a day-in and

day-out basis that are going to get it done and when you consider their global

responsibilities that they have when you consider that when we started this

business there were two principal adversary or threat countries that we

were concerned about with about four different missile types and that today

were approached in 20 different nations with ballistic missile capability and

dozens of different missile types and those can change on a day to day basis

you get a sense of just how important the responsibility is and these are men

and women who are in their early twenties there's so much more capable

than I was when I was an operator and they deserve the gratitude of the nation

because they just don't get a break there's no stand down because of an

oxygen problem there's no stand down because of any other work that needs to

be done that mission must get done 24 hours a day seven days a week and I

think that's one of the differences that you see sometimes that doesn't get

talked about enough is that while we have backup systems and redundancy it's

going to be the same team of experts they're going to take care of this

mission for American our lives I think the most visible manifestation of what

has changed is what goes on on a day to day basis in that operations floor and

what senior Airman kit does now that we didn't do when I was a crew member there

I'm not gonna say how many years ago it was more than a week ago in the in they

get in shift now and what you will see is a thorough discussion of the threats

on-orbit terrestrial based in cyber that would face and contend with the

capability set that we provide what you begin to see is robust mission planning

and execution based off the range of possible courses of action an adversary

might choose what you see is rehearsal of ways we're going to respond so that

plans and TTP's become habits and that it is not something that you're thinking

of as the moment occurs and what you are beginning to see more and more of is

more more integration between the wings we

Wing Commanders in particular to my right and my left and I think that that

is going to be what allows us to be successful in the future it is a journey

that we are on to ensure that we are prepared for a war fighting domain it is

not something that's going to happen tomorrow but I can tell you that with

the people that we have like senior Airman Jacqueline Kidd and the other

members that I brought from the 460 is basically I have no doubt that they will

be there to provide this capability that simply is unmatched for any other

potential adversary or otherwise and continue to do it on the 24/7 basis

because the American people and our allies expect it thank you good afternoon

I'm Colonel Todd Moore commander of the 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force

Base in Colorado Springs as the commander of an air force wing whose

primary mission sets include ground-based missile warning missile

defense and space situational awareness our mission is to execute combined

global capabilities to defend the homeland and to enable space combat

operations we assert this space superiority through disciplined bold and

creative Airmen I am proud of those Airmen they are relentless in

accomplishing the mission and they understand that space is essential to

our way of life and our way of war and it's worth defending our capability to

watch space for adversarial missile launches has been in effect for several

decades with an increasing amount of nations developing ICBM capability

missile warning is an increasingly important rapid detect and dissemination

information for important for dissemination to our nation's leaders

our missile defense mission is a growing effort that pairs Army and Navy missile

tracking and shoot-down capability with our missile with our missile warning

network the 21st Space Wing is a part of a global Space Surveillance Network

designed to detect track and report man-made objects orbiting Earth for

potential threats or hostile action nine of our operational units conduct Space

Surveillance maintaining awareness of all near-earth and deep space cataloged

objects they collect collect roughly 400,000 observation

per day and track 23,000 objects the 18th space control squadron averages 10

collision warning notifications per day and based on this data just last year

satellite owners and operators reported maneuvering their satellites to avoid

collisions approximately a hundred times as we transition into a new era of space

operations we need to move away from simply tracking objects in space for

catalog maintenance as if we're observing a benign environment we need

to change the way we're thinking about space and acquire trained and employee

capabilities that treat space as a contested domain we need to purposefully

observe an Orient to understand what adversaries may be doing so that we can

enable operations that achieve joint warfighting objectives and one of those

top priorities is to deter a conflict in space the United States remains

committed to the free use and access of space for peaceful purposes by all

nations but the reality is we can't always assume that all nations will

pursue only peaceful purposes if we fail to make these changes in the way we

acquire train and employ space capabilities or even more importantly

the way we think about space we may be judged harshly by history I look forward

to your questions either now here on the panel or at any point during the rest of

the conference thank you ok good afternoon Colonel Mike huff commander of

the 30th Space Wing at at Vandenberg Air Force Base California the one of to

launch wings in Air Force Space Command but also one of to launch wings in the

air force mission set where we provide indispensible launch landing and range

capability for our nation launch in the form of placing satellites into a polar

orbit we are strategically where we sit out in California where strategically

placed to do that we also support Global Strike in the operational test and

evaluation in the Minuteman 3 system and and missile defense agency in also the

teeny of the ground-based interceptor four-lane landing capability we are the

backup location or emergency landing location for x-37 operational test

vehicle as well as in the forty-fifth is way ahead of us here so I have to give

them the kudos but we're also going to be SpaceX is going to be landing for the

first time hopefully here in January on terra firma out there at Vandenberg Air

Force Base they've already done the drone ship things so we're looking

forward to supporting them in that and then for the range capability we provide

the telemetry the optics the communication for all those players to

launch and that's not insignificant Vandenberg is the third largest air

force base in our in our air force and with over a hundred thousand acres and

so we have a very very large range that that I've got wonderful Airmen that

support and take care of and again provide that capability to the nation

thank you

all right there's no shortage of questions it's great to be the moderator

so for the Wing Commanders notice there's no questions here for general

Raymond for the Wing Commanders what should a

young cadet know about the space sector before they potentially join Space

Command upon commissioning sir it's a pretty easy it's exciting to be in the

space enterprise right now it used the future whether it's war fighting in

space preparing to war fight in space we've moved from a relatively benign

environment to a rapidly more and more contested in environment and if we are

not prepared to fight in that domain that fight will come to us and so the

opportunities are endless whether it's flying a satellite doing missile warning

or if you're like me and you're a little boy at heart and you can't drive a truck

for a living launching rockets is about the next best thing

launching rocket is fun sir I I would also I would also recommend to a cadet

who is interested in exploring and and eventually becoming part of our space

enterprise here to take advantage of all of the educational opportunities that

you have at your fingertips while you are in that type of an environment to

learn both in the classroom academics but also to to exercise your critical

thinking skills because we are always looking for folks who are able to think

outside the box earlier today you heard general Goldfein talk about hey we're in

an era right now where we need people who are going to be versed to solve

problems who don't just think outside the box but we're thinking about

throwing away the box and so for our young folks who are in school and who

have an opportunity in a very safe and you know creative exploratory type of

environment to really don't be don't be limited by the types of problem sets or

the questions that you can ask and and to be able to do that in particular

where you have some some practical application in that regard - that's okay

I think the only thing that from my perspective is why don't you just come

see us we have a number of programs particularly speak for myself

I partner with both the ROTC detachment at Colorado State University as well as

the ROTC detachment at cu-boulder and we host those cadets in particular but

certainly the Air Force Academy cadets when they come up as well during their

summer break and I think that is the best exposure that you can get to

operations and there are arranged you also get an appreciation for the range

of skill sets and jobs that must be performed in order to ensure that we're

successful so whether you as a cadet choose to do Space Operations or not you

choose to be you know if you come to Buckley to get a look at the cyber

mission defense team you choose to get a look at one of the defenders I brought

one of them with me here today there's a bunch of people who gotta do their part

in order to make these missions work and when you are dealing with critical

infrastructure it's the extent that we have at each one of these bases we

really do fight from our bases and it really is a team effort

so I would encourage you to come out and visit oh I'm sure all of us will stick

around afterward and take the opportunity we'll set something up and

we can we do this on a regular basis because just like our forefathers in the

Air Corps set about educating the American people on the importance of air

power it's our responsibility to do the same for space power first thing I would

say is climbing into is some kind of advanced orbital mechanics would be a

first a great step we need to move from we are evolving to go from two

dimensions plus time air powers three dimensions plus x space operations

really is five dimensions plus time when you consider about how we operate in

space that would be my first the second would be if you're looking at industry

look at distributed architectures and how those operations are in place and

what are the opportunities to to model those and

then the last thing would be to take a look at how industry does systems

integration and working off the delivery of certain products because ultimately

we are trying to I think trying to follow a similar model so we can get

operations online quickly yeah and just to kind of put a cap on this and really

to echo what general Monteith is saying this really is an exciting time to be in

the space business in particular of launch you know you've seen what SpaceX

is doing and other commercial providers that are coming on board are looking at

doing the same you know same type of things again but what that forces us to

do is to be innovative on our part we don't want to be the ones from the space

on the Air Force side of the house to the ones to say no or that we can't do

that we try to keep up with them so and again it's forcing us to relook how we

do business and finally that you've heard what you've seen here up on the

stage is that space is a very diverse mission set so we have launch satellite

command and control you've got a ground-based missile warning space-based

missile warning space control again so I think there's a little something out

there for everybody thank you there's several questions

concerning intelligence so I'm going to wrap wrap them all into one the space

mission force construct is preparing our space operators to be war fighters but

how are we preparing our intelligence analysts within the Air Force to be

better utilized to provide our space crews with actionable Intel Rock once

you start with that and then over to the rest if you'd like to jump in yes sir

I think I think the best way to capture this is within the Intel within the

operational crew we have a number of intelligence professionals who in my day

or was two of them and they were exclusively focused on making sure that

we understood what those threat indications is inw were for the Pacific

specific missiles that we were concerned about as you saw in Desert Storm we were

really focusing on integration and used to defense support program satellites in

order to detect they did a great job because we did not miss a single Scud

that was launched in Desert Storm well now thanks to

brother Dennis both would who's in the audience I think today and the space and

missile system center team we've advanced the new space-based infrared

system and have really taken a quantum leap in capability set our adversaries

have noticed this so their change in the RIT for the Intel analysts that we have

on the operations crew is now to reconcile the challenge that we have

from the counter space threats and those will be as I alluded to earlier specific

indicators and warning of on orbit threats terrestrial based threats and

their cycles that they're on as well as the cyber threats some of this they can

accommodate within their nominal crew force allocation in other words the

number of people that we have dedicated to it some event the boss has helped us

surge capability in particular a focus on counter space intelligence to

supplement that and as we ramp up the SMF over the next year or two to ensure

that we have a robust capability said the last piece is a partnership with Air

Combat Command general Raymond has stood up the OPI our battlespace awareness

Center it at Buckley Air Force Base and particularly in our Mission Control

station and with the commitment of the a two team as well as the commitment of

ACC have allocated over 50 intelligence professionals to help us get after

exploiting this capability called infrared surveillance for all we can I

can't go into too much about it but we don't do space 4 space sake we're not

just gonna fight counter space fights if we have to enforce to for those sake the

purpose of it is is to maintain the warfighting commitment that we made to

provide infrared surveillance and warning so I think what you've seen at

least at Buckley I can say this is a doubling down from the intelligence

professionals both the capability to exploit infrared data as well as the

capability to on-ramp counter space indications in warning and specific

threat TTP modeling for what we would have to contend with if there was a

threat on orbit or on from terrestrial sensors or from cyber

so one of the concepts with SMS SMF is advanced training or 80 in discussions

with in the 21st base wing 80 means slightly something just a little bit

different it means advanced thinking um we need to

think entirely differently about this domain and it may be that our current

Intel professionals don't have all the right answers but it really is incumbent

I would argue on our CEOs to really begin thinking critically and asking

good questions and being curious and getting after it in that regard so that

the intelligence community can go back and start picking at those questions now

the challenges those questions have to come first and so it's a little bit of a

chicken versus the egg but it's got to start somewhere

the second aspect also is as we grow as we grow Intel specialists for space and

space domain and contesta space domain I am hopeful that the NS DC also plays a

relatively large role as we try to bring different elements of the space

enterprise together so that we can gain access to special data as well that we

haven't had access to in the past thank you just add a few things from the

perspective of the 50th in terms of how we've begun to incorporate our Intel

community within our mission sets and primarily we've been pretty fortunate to

have a cadre of Intel folks at the wing embedded with our different mission

space operation squadrons as well who have very creatively crafted a

threatened book is what it's called and catalogued what we know today about some

of the things that we are having to contest in combat in space and some of

the systems that are out there and so we found that by embedding our Intel

personnel asking some of those right questions and that advanced thinking

piece of that in terms of what is on the horizon what types of areas should we be

concerned about that becomes part of the fabric of how we execute this thing

we've called the space mission force and our advanced training and dwell time but

we're also looking at the cyber threats in addition to that as well and so it's

it's really at the tip of the spear I think and and the beginning of what will

soon see is the development for our intelligence personnel and the questions

that were asking and setting some of those requirements so that we're better

equipped for what we need to do all right

there's that several questions on the innovation so let me pose this the panel

how do you encourage innovation and implement ideas from CEOs NCOs and

airmen that are in your wing for us I take the lead my leadership and I've got

three basic tenets number one is it if it's within your authority go fast

number two be bold number three I trust you

there are no bad ideas there are just ideas that need a little bit more work

but if we don't allow them to bring those forward and try they'll never

bring them forward and so go fast be bold I trust you

go make a difference yes sir I would I would echo that at our wing as well and

just the emphasis being on yes the speed and the deliberation but definitely in

trying to knock down barriers that would hinder any of that type of advanced

thinking or innovation in terms of the problem-solving to make sure that our

folks are are not just able to go fast but equipped and and not tripping over

anything that serves as a barrier also to do a big THANK YOU to general Raymond

he implemented something within the magic on here along the shark tank

scenario where if you've got a great idea you don't need to bring it up

through through your chain you don't have to it actually skips skips me and

he gets to briefed directly so I know I think it was just last week and we had I

think it was two or three folks from the wing who who got to brief him directly

on just great ideas that they had so I mean certainly we encourage it and then

you know don't snuff it out there's several questions concerning

partnerships with communicate with commercial space and so each each one

has a different flavor of that Wayne maybe in Mike you could talk a little

bit about partnerships with commercial launch companies like SpaceX and then

and then we'll go from there so so for us to be successful it's

absolutely critically important that we do partner with our commercial providers

and I'll tell you it's it's hard particularly in the beginning Colonel

grant talked about throwing out the box that's exactly what we've done with

SpaceX in my mind they are a disruptive technology they do things completely

different than the way we do it and they have forced us and I do mean force they

have forced us to get better infinitely better at what we do we are adopting

commercial business practices we are becoming more efficient more effective

more affordable working with them we have been able to reduce our day of

launch footprint by over 60% reduce the cost of a single launch for them by over

50% and based on that autonomous flight safety system that they've developed

with us they will help us get to 48 launches a year SpaceX does not launch

on schedule SpaceX launches on readiness if they are ready to launch tomorrow

they want to launch tomorrow and as Colonel Huff mentioned we should not be

the barrier between them and a successful launch campaign they do

things differently and it's good

absolutely right they do force us to get better and what's what's also

encouraging too is that they're they're not the only ones but what we see coming

down the pike or other companies that are looking to do the same thing so I

the forty-fifth has been out in front on this and we're catching up there at the

30th but again we don't want to be the ones to impede that process and so we

have great communication with them we listen to their needs and and and I wish

I controlled everything about launch but there's some things that we have to work

through within the wing within other government agencies we have a pretty

strict environmental process to get things off the ground and to do new

things out there but it's incumbent upon the wing so not only work with not only

work with those industry partners out there like space us but also to work

internally within the government to quicken our process okay Jen maybe we

can take this one do you see a portion of

it's related you see a portion of space operations such as tt NC our

communications being provided by a service from a commercial company or a

commercial provider allowing military to focus their money time and energy on

defending space sir I think that's a good question I think right now we're at

the inflection point of trying to find ways to be a bit more efficient in some

of the more routine operations that we conduct on the ops floor and really the

emphasis with our space mission force if we've mentioned and alluded to is the

fact that we really want our space operators to be developed in terms of

their critical thinking in terms of thinking innovatively and so there are a

variety of different ways to get at taking and and outsourcing some of those

more routine functions that might be one of them another one is increasing the

level of automation that we have I think both of those are currently on the table

in terms of what we're exploring and what we're looking to do but at the end

of the day we really want to emphasize the skill set in our officers to to

think through what we should be doing in a contested environment space there's

several questions related to crew rest in how do we take care of our folks in a

kind of a deployed in place environment so in regards to the chief of staff's

recent announcement regarding Wing Commanders authority to manage crew rest

what is your opinion about the necessity of crew rest to perform space operations

I'm gonna turn this to Colonel Miller a part of the space mission force is

really allowing us to focus more on this more effectively on this deployed and

placed mission and they've just done some really innovative work with a sleep

expert to help their crews work this schedule so Rach can you walk through

that yes sir so absolutely crew rest is important

what we found through the work of our Medical Group particular lieutenant

colonel reading Nicholas and the work that she did is not probably dissimilar

to findings that we saw on the RPA community but a little bit different in

terms of the demands that go for operation

previously for example we would be on 12-hour shifts rotations buried what

days on and days off for but typically a foreign for ISM but you might see four

days on in four days off so what we did was after feedback from the commanders

in particular through the crews was look to get to an eight-hour shift rotation

and try to compare from a evidence based standpoint the performance of our

operators from a 12-hour shift sleepiness as an indicator delayed

reaction times and so on to what we see in an eight-hour shift and as you can

imagine we have the data that shows that people on an eight-hour shift perform

better and I don't mean they just perform better and that they feel more

awake reaction times are better their cognitive warriors so their response and

planning efforts are more crisp their ability to collaborate and coordinate is

more sustained and timely er they did a just an outstanding job and I think that

that information has already been passed to the other wings as I said before

there's no other there's no other wing that's gonna pick up the 50th missions

of the for 60th missions there's no other f-16 unit that's gonna back us up

if we can't do it so those operators have to be ready and to transition to an

eight-hour crew shift was something that was easy to decide to do particularly

once you saw the evidence sustaining it is a challenge I will tell you but just

as you would expect the captains who were charged with figuring it out came

up with an innovative structure for Manning their flights those flights are

actually bigger than some squadrons in some cases to get the captain or

lieutenant who's in charge of that flight the flexibility to man as he or

she sees fit to minimum crew requirements but we have seen great

results in performance and actually have attributed to deficiencies and through

the debrief process have dropped precipitously as well so not only is the

evidence there that your your operators or your war fighters will do a better

job with better rests it is contributed directly to operational results and I

think that's good do the good work of our med group in particular thanks we

just got the hook but let me wrap it up with one final question and

then now what I have them here the rest of the week and so for everybody else

that answered a asked a question yeah we didn't answer the majority of them

please feel free to come up and ask me in person if you really want to ask this

question I'm sorry we ran out of time the question goat is when do you expect

a major conflict in space look what I'll tell you is who knows and nobody would

know that it's unknowable but what I want to stress to this audience is that

we don't want that conflict we're all about deterring that conflict and being

prepared for that kind of like one of the things that our chief says and he

said it repeatedly I've heard him it's it's spot-on he said the only thing that

I'm a hundred percent sure of is we have between now and then to be ready and to

get ready and that's what we're focused on getting ready so we can deter this

conflict we do not want that to happen in my opinion nobody wins that fight and

that's why we come to work every day I really appreciate you being here I

appreciate the robust questions I'm sorry we didn't get the majority of them

please feel free to hit me at any time throughout the week and thanks for this

opportunity to share what we're doing an Air Force Base can you wait
