companies, the large defense funds, which are significant. given those capitalization requirements and given that the intimacy we need to have with our customers, i think is pretty well-balanced at the moment. by the way, when you think about competition, you have a monopoly buyer with enormous purchasing power, so while we may be a duopoly or for some people and monopoly, we are up against a very powerful customer, so there's a lot of shaving that happens in our contractual discussions with customers. >> sometimes people say the defense budget is so high. is that a fair criticism, that cost overruns are high? >> if you think about the complexity of modern weapons systems, it is not unusual for some to have early on some cost overruns, but it is incumbent upon us as a defense industry that once we understand the technology and how to build it and build it effectively, continue to take costs out as we go down our learning curve, and that is an important part of the value equation we have with our customers, driving costs out. david: today, wha

part of our homeland defense design for integrating defense as well. they have to be part of it. >> we will come back to the details. you mentioned integrated deterrence for the second time. secretary austen has talked about that as an overarching concept. integration means bringing things together into a whole. what does it mean to you? what does being brought together if it wasn't integrated before? >> integrated deterrence would involve operations, activities, investments that we do today that are oftentimes done with a regional focus. not a created -- integrated across a global problem set. integrated deterrence within the military dimension is bringing all that together, to include not only utilizing the operations and activities but also security cooperation. to have an effect. where secretary austen is and where we are going as well would be, all levers of influence across the nation are crucial. whether that be the diplomatic piece of that, the information piece, the economic piece. all those have a potential impact on overarching deterrence. w

the chinese defense budget has grown by 450% since 2001. they added, they added $200 billion in the last decade while we cut $400 billion. so, we're behind in some of the areas and we're falling behind in some of the other areas and as a result, i'm more deterrence it will fail. maybe today or five years or ten years and when it does, the cost will be much higher than any investment we could be making today to prevent that. we're not making hard choices. we're making bad choices and short sided choices. the administration tells us that the pentagon budget is cut because of fiscal realities, but they're spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on everything else under the sun. we all agree that even the administration agrees that a strong military improves all other tools of national power, i just can't understand this short cited underfunding of our troops. we make sacred compact with our service members. we tell them we'll take care of them and their families and we do that very well. we also tell them that we'll give them the tools that are

defense technology and forces. i will add it -- what we actually viewed in a demonstrated pattern of how china engages with countries across the world, we warned and discussed with our partners in the middle east, that chinese engagement written categories will violate their sovereignty, which they prioritize. china was silent at the security council and signing onto any statement. this is not a country that will support our partners in their legitimate security and defense concerns and needs. we remind them of that. >> i hope my partners recognize that silence. this is a voluntary agreement, but one that we perceive to be very important to our global security interests. prior to the trump administration, we interpreted that agreement from serving technology aside from our closest partners. the biden administration has not reversed the reinterpretation of that treaty. as he said at the outset, pursuing the sale of reaper drones to the uae. do you expect other members to issue their own reinterpretations? i we conce

we need to limit the number of defenses that you're going to have or capital. and eventually treaty ends up just one site to be, protect my site. if it gets assistance, the work which i've never done on the credibly. and then you saw people side having weakness and treaties that reduce the number of movie whereas in the world. so a long came george w bush and his crew, and they pulled the treaty and then you saw rush say, well then there were going to have the new types of weapons we do because we can't expose ourselves. if your system ever did work, that means you can strike us 1st and with no capacity like that because you know the defense. so a, we think it encourages the 1st like, but be in the is the only thing we can do depends we have many, many, whether you have so then you then are still hesitant to come after us. so we spent a very destabilizing factor and you wouldn't want missile defense anyway, even if it didn't work because of those reasons. but the more credible part of this is we spent $400000000.00 trying to develop a system since i was that ha

the defense minister i've got, i've got to start is on injured. in fact, he wasn't at the scene at the time we're told from 2 different sources. and he, in the last that has treated from his personal account saying, don't worry, everything is fine. this is a veteran commander. he's been acting defense minister only for a short period of time. he was previously the chief of staff of the army, but before the governments and i've got to stand before the gun government and the cause i government and the period when international forces with here he was also a come all day was a come on the with i would show masoud fighting the taliban and before that fighting the soviet union. and all of this coming at a time of extreme tension in afghanistan because there's been fighting across the country, but particularly in law, chicago, the capital of how minds province the army there. as on the verge of munching a major operation, what's going on? yes, it's been the most intense day yet in alaska and local residents said there's been a lot of fighting in previou

and the only defense we would have to overwhelming. so lots of data to upgrade and increase the number of weapons that we have. so that is a little bit of a race on that. it's not just the united states is seeking to modernize as they stable to increase the numbers in style weapons. what is all of the other nice states? and then at least the weather's doing some follow up later on that. and i know we like to blame it on russia or china. we have to do it. we've been doing it for a long time. and they are now doing the to, and it was respect, russia, they want us back when the united states pulled out of the abm treaty by george w bush. that it was the lead to them having an i was ration, doing new types of weapons and was just to give them powerful weapons. jacob convene intellectually, some of the best writers in think here is that i know when it comes to thinking about the broad dimensions of national security. and i'm interested in where current thinking is and where your thinking is on america's nuclear arsenal. it's aging parts of

david: sometimes people say the defense budget is so high. is that a fair criticism, that cost overruns are high? phebe: if you think about the complexity of modern weapons systems, it is not unusual for some to have early on some cost overruns, but it is incumbent upon us as a defense industry that once we understand the technology and how to build it and build it effectively, continue to take costs out as we go down our learning curve, and that is an important part of the value equation we have with our customers, driving costs out. david: today, what are the biggest challenges for general dynamics and what are the biggest opportunities? phebe: i think in any business, the challenges are solving complex problems that come to you. the problems that come to me and my senior leadership team for resolving tend to be highly complex and meddlesome. so your ability to solve those , let's problems are an important element i think at the value that we had to the company. opportunities, you always want to make sure you have a creative enough mind and

defense companies to do well? phebe: i think defense spending historically has been driven by the threat or perception of threat, and it is not a particularly safe world at the moment. that's number one. number two, president biden has been a lifelong supporter of national security. so this budget he submitted to capitol hill was a nominal increase. importantly, all of our programs work fully supported because of their criticality to the war fight. david: most of the large aerospace defense companies have moved to washington. do you see the pentagon leaders from time to time? do you see the secretaries of army or air force or navy? what do you do in terms of interacting with them? phebe: i think it is important we know our customer, both from the uniform and military side. we tend to try to know them as well, and then with each change in administration we try to get to know the primary decision-maker and get inside the decision space, help them think about what we can provide. i spend time with all of them, all of

our whole defense was, he didn't do it. so if we can point to unknown individuals that were trying to gain access to the building, that would definitely have been used. >> remember, tally smith said she didn't know about the map on the video during the trial but finally learned about him from mcvay afterwards. but then, she did nothing. >> she didn't go to the judge. didn't go to the attorney general. >> and she didn't go to the defense either. >> she wrote a letter to bruce mcvay saying how could you do this to me. >> i get live with the worry that someone on the defense side will find it at some point and we will wind up in trouble over it and the entire case will be tainted because of it. you wrote that? >> i did write that. >> in defense of her actions tally smith testified she subsequently calmed down and never sent that letter. and besides, she said, the video with the random dude, was much ado about nothing. >> it doesn't constitute any evidence that someone got in that building. >> would it have changed anything abo

the secret defense? they were going to agree with the prosecution on one point, that when jean called 911 to report her husband dead, the murder was days old. >> that call is 100% fake, there's no question about it. >> not only was the mom lying to 911 about when the murder occurred. no, argued the defense, she was lying about something much bigger, who the true killer was. the defense attorney saved his surprise for a closing argument. >> it was an unusual moment, because certainly, i knew there were many friends and supporters of jean tan in the courtroom, and i was going to basically suggest to these jurors that she had pulled the trigger. >> jean tan, the mom, the wife, the true killer. the defense said the shotgun was in her hand. she pulled the trigger. she solved her own problem, not her son. that was the story the defense saved for the 11th hour. >> not an easy thing to do in a packed courtro >> the prosecutor seemed caught off guard. >> he addressed charlie directly. he said something to the eff
