WHAT'S FASCINATING AND
ENJOYABLE FOR ALL OF US TO
GETTING QUITE THE RECEPTION IF
YOU WELL AT WEALTH AT FORT
DRUM.
THANK YOU.
I DO WANT TO BRING IN RIGHT
NOW.
THE DIAMOND STRATEGY CEO AND
PRESIDENT AND THE FORMER
GUYS, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU
BOTH HERE.
I WANTED TO START WITH YOU ON
WE WERE WONDERING IF HE WAS
YES IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
TAKE THAT THE DEFENSE.
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT IS A TOUGH ONE BASIN IT
WOULD BE A GOOD GESTURE.
IN PARTICULAR WITH THE FUNDING
AND THE PAY RAISE.
FAMILY HOUSING.
BUT A LOT OF THE AIRCRAFT IN
PARTICULAR HAD BEEN SHOWN TO
BE IN DISREPAIR.
THE PRESIDENT REALLY PRESIDENT
REALLY SAYS IT'S TIME TO FIX
THESE ISSUES.
THE BAD DAYS OF THE BUDGET
CONTROL ACT.
IN 2010 WE ACTUALLY SPENT MORE
THAN WERE SPENDING LAST YEAR
TOOK CONTROL OF THE CONGRESS
AND PUT A CAP ON ALL
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING.
TRUMP AND HIS FIRST TWO YEARS
HAS GOTTEN IT LIFTED AGAIN.
THE ARTIFICIAL CAP MADE IT A
LOT OF THINGS THAT SHOULD'VE
BEEN FIXED OR NOT FIXED ALL
THE NEW EQUIPMENT WAS THE
BIGGEST TAKE AWAY IN YOUR
MIND.
$716BILLION.
I THINK CONGRESS AND THE
PRESIDENT AND THE
ADMINISTRATION KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT THEY WANTED TO GO AFTER.
IT WAS PRIMARILYCOMBAT
EQUIPMENT AND FORCES.
I SEE THIS AS A MAKEUP OR THE
LAST EIGHT YEARS THAT LARRY
ALLUDED TO.
AND IT'S A GREAT STEP BUT WE
ARE NOT THERE YET.
WE DID NOT MAKE A DENT AND
LOGISTICAL SUPPORT WHICH I
WOULD SUSPECT TO BE WHERE WE
HAVE SOME PLATFORMS THAT HAVE
DETERIORATED LONG BEHIND THEIR
LIFESPAN.
>> CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC
FOR US.
AIRCRAFT THAT CARRIES C-130S
ESPECIALLY C-130.
WE PROBABLY HAVE THE FIRST ONE
THAT I WROTE ON.
I WOULD SAY SOME OF THE THE
GROUND THINGS THAT CARRY OUR
TANKS.
A LOT OF THOSE ARE WAY BEYOND
WHAT THEIR DEPRECIATE ALL LIFE
WITH US.
I WANT TO ASK ABOUT SOMETHING
ELSE IN HERE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ACTUAL
COMPANIES AGAIN, THAT IS A
COMMITTEE FOR FOREIGN
INVESTMENT IN THE U.S.
FOR THE CHINESE OR THE
RUSSIANS.
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT PART
OF THE BILL AND THE FACT THAT
FUNDING IS GOING IN THAT
DIRECTION.
I DO GET THE RECOGNITION AND
THE THAT YOU GLOBAL ECONOMY IS
VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHO OWNS
THE COMPANY.
SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN
IN THEIR HE STOPPED TO MERGERS
USING THIS ONE ABOUT
TO BUY IT.
WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE
MONEY FROM.
THE THING WAS ACTUALLY STARTED
LOT MORE IMPETUS IN THE LAST
I REALLY HOPE THAT WE DO SEE
MORE FUNDING COMING DOWN FOR
THE MILITARY.
THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU
HOPEFULLY WE ARE NOT GOING TO
