let's take a look at the u.s. navy. for weeks the top brass have painted a dire picture of a weakened fleet that could struggle to respond to crises around the world. warnings of canceled ship deployments, delayed repairs to aging vessels, less money for new ships and planes, furloughs and maybe even layoffs of civilian employees all coming as a result. joining us now to talk about this the secretary of the navy and former mississippi governor ray mavis. secretary mavis thanks nor being with us. there are a lot of naval personnel and their families watching right now wondering what is going to happen on friday. what do you say about them and their paychecks, first of all? >> well, what i say is that this doesn't need to happen. sequestration is a bad idea, it's been a bad idea, and the affect that it could have on naval readiness, as secretary of the navy i've got to worry about that, the affect it can have on workers both in our federal shipyard like here in norfolk and in the private shipyards. the workers around nor

the army will cut 80,000 troops and the navy's active ships will be reduced 10 percent. that is short of the global requirements . some of our enemies are doubling their military might. is it just a matter of the time that we are not the most powerful military force in the world. joining us now. four star general jack king. talk about what these cuts are going to meet to the military if they go through. >> they are extremely significant . remember these cuts were designed to be so horrific that we would not take them and now we are on the pres pice of doing that very thing and they come on the heels . this is it what the viewers have to understand. the cut took place of 487 billion dollars of the defense department over the 10 years . stow this would be 500 billion dollar cut inspection to that . that bringings the navy and army back to preworld war ii in termless -- terms of number of ships and sold yerse. adverse impacts are prepare tod do something of consequence in the world. it is it drathematic . serious in the terms of the risk facing our count reap. >> would it m

in the end they concluded that chinese navy did use weapons radar. they can prove the radar came from a chinese ship but they cannot prove without a doubt where the destroyer was when the radar locked on happened or even when it happened. it's possible to damp with this kind of data that's why chinese officials say japanese got it wrong. what can we take from the outcome of this instance is that chinese leaders will likely prohibit the military from using weapons radar from now on. but they cannot stop all of aggressive behavior towards japan. communist party leader is the head of military but chinese commanders have a lot of authority and can act on their own. japanese defense forces need to be cautious and continue to carefully monitor the movement of chinese forces in this region. >>> security analysts and former navy captain. >>> and as japanese officials are at odds with china over an incident at sea they criticized russia for something they said happened in the air. defense analysts say russian military planes entered japanese airspace but, aga

then he got out of the navy. so he was an accomplished pilot when he came to nasa. i think if anybody should have been first on the moon, it was neil armstrong because he had the skill and the humility to carry that load. >> we talked last night at dinner. when you were flying at the lunar module down, commander is on one side and the other guy is on the other side. it makes it easier for one person to get out first. talked-about -- talk about that. >> who's gonna be first out? the lunar module pilot is on the right side as the face forward. the commander is on the left side. and you are standing. it takes a couple hours to get to take up -- to get suited up. and we get suited up and de- pressurizing the module. the guy on the left has to get out first and you reach down and unlocked the door. it swings to the right tree so the guy on the right is trapped behind the door -- it swings to the right so the guy on the right is trapped behind the door. >> there was some discussion about that. >> buzz said maybe we should swap places and nice to be out first but that cann

this is the scariest one i've ever seen. he is a trained, military guy, lieutenant in the navy. he is a trained police officer and he's holding off, literally, thousands of cops who are searching for him. so very, very dangerous, very scary situation. >> and i'm hoping that he turns himself in and there is no more violence. but if he were to be caught, what possible defense could he have? >> the thing i'm concerned about as far as lieutenant dorner is -- i call him lieutenant because he was a military man. he is facing the death penalty if he does not voluntarily surrender. obviously, he is familiar with the concept of suicide by cop, which is you fight the police with weapons. they're going to shoot you. that's what's going to happen to him at some point in time when he's found. so the death penalty is a certainty with him if he does not voluntarily surrender. on the other hand, if he contacts a lawyer, if he contacts a member of the media -- i was reading his manifesto, which is 13 or 14 pages. he's a guy who really follows the news. he comments about every major issue you cou

in the navy there are 985 separate line items. each of these will be cut. each are not of equal value to the taxpayer. in some places we'll actually have to cut long-term contracts which means we'll have to pay more for ships and planes. we're going to cut back on nih plans, meat inspectors so meat will go up. the senate will actually have a plan, half cuts half revenues but what the house will do, who knows. >> we'll get to the senate plan in a minute but the president is clearly trying to fan out and talk to the american people about this. but why is there no negotiation right now between the president and republican leadership? whose fault is that? >> well, charlie, i don't know. i've got to take the speaker and the republican senate leader at their word. they said no 1th hour deals this time. they didn't want to deal with the white house. i don't get it. now, we should have been able to deal with this actually earlier and i'm part of the so-called bipartisan gang of six that said let's do entitlement reform more revenues. >> senator, why does it always

authorities trying to figure out what happened at the gun range and why. former navy s.e.a.l. chris kyle, who claimed a record 150 kills in iraq, died at the hands of another vet authorities say, allegedly using a semi automatic handgun. what police don't know is why. >> i don't know that we'll ever know. he is the only one that knows that. he has not made any comments to law enforcement as to why he did. >> chad littlefield and the suspect, eddie ray ralph, drove to the gun range together in a pickup truck. less than two hours later, kyle and littlefield were dead. ralph had fled to his sister's house and told her what happened. she called police and ralph was eventually caught. ralph is an iraq war veteran, left the marines in 2010. kyle who wrote the best-selling autobiography "american sniper," talked about duty to those he served with in an interview with ktvt last year. >> the guys i couldn't save, that keeps me up at night. every shot, i felt extremely justified. >> reporter: kyle became a fierce advocate for vets, starting a foundation to help those suffering from ptsd
