I'm in they're meant 27:31.340 --> 27:35.560 to bolster arc ordination and the security of south korean to 27:35.560 --> 27:39.320 demonstrate our ability to the to work together and courtney together. 27:39.890 --> 27:43.650 On the set these it happened in the past and or schedule for 27:43.650 --> 27:44.320 this time right now. 27:45.130 --> 27:48.210 The difference between this year's exercise and past years. 27:49.130 --> 27:53.330 I'm here concession with what we've done in the past eight um 27:53.390 --> 27:56.830 are not to that particular reaction if you will to the most recent 27:57.280 --> 28:02.300 that north korean activities but they again demonstrate our ability 28:02.300 --> 28:06.050 to work directly with the south Koreans the defense of south korea. 28:06.520 --> 28:10.410 I think it is torture to moments time um again there a tangible 28:10.410 --> 28:13.370 demonstration of the strength of our line star ability to work 28:13.370 --> 28:15.510 together for building courtney together. 28:16.020 --> 28:20.830 Um and It should send a message to other step to that we stand 28:20.830 --> 28:25.360 by our south korean allies and we do it a and um we practice. 28:25.390 --> 28:28.480 It's not just words we actually actively work together with south 28:28.480 --> 28:29.900 Koreans to make that happen. 28:30.580 --> 28:33.020 Come from the more forces are involved this year. 28:34.400 --> 28:39.340 Um and now sure to compare sinews to 80 years past but to their to. 28:40.060 --> 28:43.010 Several thousand us forces involved in these exercises and I 28:43.010 --> 28:45.990 think that's consistent where we can asset on ending the decade 28:45.990 --> 28:48.980 can't difference. But again this is a new election miserable 28:48.980 --> 28:52.800 exercises at a copper previously um. But again it does project 28:52.800 --> 28:56.570 a moment time. I'm the shade once again show our resolve to stand 28:56.570 --> 28:57.720 by our south pre-nups. 28:58.900 --> 29:03.890 Yes. Our number to try and get the right in the room. 29:04.790 --> 29:08.380 I get my head of the things right that this is it has come to. 29:08.910 --> 29:14.400 It as to a. Sign about the lack of cost guarantee told the chinese 29:14.400 --> 29:18.470 made that lasted about uh. Oh just a few moments ago youth it 29:18.470 --> 29:21.840 says there's no ahma than that I just so that's the you and no 29:21.870 --> 29:24.020 coming home at the rate that change of you. 29:25.250 --> 29:30.670 Uh no an here. Yes me backed budget numbers are in the chinese 29:30.670 --> 29:31.590 bunch numbers we have. 29:32.180 --> 29:37.970 Um. I think in the past. I'm express star but concerns about 29:37.970 --> 29:41.200 some aspects of the chinese military in what they're spending 29:41.200 --> 29:44.400 at funny on were concerned about the nutters ration odyssey were 29:44.400 --> 29:45.570 singing the south china sea. 29:46.090 --> 29:49.360 So but in terms of this specific dollar amounts a. 29:50.360 --> 29:53.260 We have our own budget to worry about here. I'm at this brazen 29:53.260 --> 29:56.850 moment show with regard to that question before in terms of the 29:56.850 --> 29:58.180 dollar mounts things like that. 29:58.730 --> 30:01.100 As you said duration a tremendous amount of transparency some 30:01.100 --> 30:04.610 usually so much but we can say about that that budget um but 30:04.610 --> 30:09.540 we have concerns about again china's activities and and uh it's 30:09.540 --> 30:10.750 actions um. 30:11.580 --> 30:14.080 As much as we do about the budget itself. Maybe more. So. 30:17.090 --> 30:21.150 Or I started back to back to all that is right in this um some 30:21.150 --> 30:21.800 as in a question. 30:22.760 --> 30:25.950 The haters in these are the greens are movie part of the goes 30:25.950 --> 30:28.880 is pretty humble for a secure in Puerto Rico. 30:29.560 --> 30:33.810 He's done is just to beat the Seeing that that may be due abuse 30:33.810 --> 30:35.420 going from post four. 30:36.030 --> 30:37.390 Uh are controlled is she. 30:38.050 --> 30:38.670 Weaves a uh. 30:39.180 --> 30:40.000 I'm already. 30:40.690 --> 30:43.740 And has been asked by the why asked offer support to health and 30:43.740 --> 30:47.330 human services which is taking that the lead obviously in this 30:47.330 --> 30:51.410 country um specifically we've had research in in into zico in 30:51.410 --> 30:54.090 the past the roof of I'm willing to share and of course. 30:54.920 --> 30:58.310 Li ever the we can with regard to us service members who could 30:58.310 --> 31:01.510 be in areas that have been exposed to the C virus making. 31:01.510 --> 31:03.670 Sure that they've got all the protective measures in place. 31:03.700 --> 31:06.380 The me to trying to protect themselves. 31:07.040 --> 31:09.960 Um but to be on that again. That's some of the best by the white 31:09.960 --> 31:10.540 house to do. 31:11.130 --> 31:13.650 Rapid are those in april precepts for us to take at this point 31:13.650 --> 31:15.070 but not none exchange for them or. 31:16.580 --> 31:19.430 Boom maybe reengage Billy goat breeders who. 31:20.000 --> 31:22.600 Up bankroll due date for us as an pressure. 31:23.110 --> 31:26.180 I'm of nothing that I'm aware of that at this particular moment 31:26.180 --> 31:28.290 time but a Asif that changes collection. 31:29.070 --> 31:30.240 Yeah second year next year. 31:31.430 --> 31:34.700 The crunch the heart of this moment to moment. What does that 31:34.700 --> 31:37.470 the that when sing quote that was to be joked during the trap 31:37.470 --> 31:38.910 of becoming come and and she. 31:40.590 --> 31:44.250 Um I think you for the secretary say that to the one place you 31:44.250 --> 31:48.370 won't hear the to palm of defense a in nice election years talking 31:48.370 --> 31:52.610 about a presidential politics and I think I'll take my cue from Maya. 31:52.640 --> 31:57.040 My basij and not discuss the presidential race from this podium county. 31:57.800 --> 32:01.110 Are having trouble that great from the No. 32:02.150 --> 32:05.140 Right will day that this services have compiled their annual 32:05.290 --> 32:09.340 wish lists its wish lists of if we get all the way to world this 32:09.340 --> 32:10.630 is what we'd like to buy. 32:11.150 --> 32:14.080 The marines have sent there's a few other services are some goes up. 32:14.710 --> 32:18.900 As a secretary actually repute down the sea of the few it will 32:18.900 --> 32:20.020 he he had his own. 32:20.530 --> 32:24.050 List of whatnot to four and going up to the deal for his own 32:24.100 --> 32:25.650 fuel that is reaction. 32:26.340 --> 32:30.250 Um tiny I and actually not on except my your fused able to see 32:30.280 --> 32:33.150 each and every one of those lists. I know that these work list 32:33.150 --> 32:36.790 ever provided. I think before the reason shared with the uh the 32:36.790 --> 32:40.660 secretary um. I think that's the point to be made here is that 32:40.830 --> 32:44.890 the sector's presented a budget within the confines of the a 32:44.890 --> 32:48.150 budget agreement. It is a budget that he feels can carry out 32:48.570 --> 32:52.040 a necessary the pride already PS and need to vista partly in 32:52.040 --> 32:55.200 preserving the national security of the United States within 32:55.580 --> 32:59.480 the confines of that budget working very carefully on the shape 32:59.480 --> 33:02.370 of that budgets as we couldn't alter the sounds. I think these 33:02.370 --> 33:06.300 detail up to in new multiple locations already including up on 33:06.300 --> 33:09.840 capitol hill. Why he's made a decision see ask why. Yeah to make 33:09.840 --> 33:12.110 certain tough choices with regard to investments. 33:12.620 --> 33:16.630 And uh so I think the sector's going to be speaking their capital 33:16.630 --> 33:19.960 elam members of congress about the budget we presented in defending 33:19.960 --> 33:23.870 the budget. We presented as opposed to a wish list of things 33:23.870 --> 33:27.440 that to um that we can't afford it does particular moment in time. 33:27.440 --> 33:30.800 He said to make difficult choices working with the services and 33:30.800 --> 33:34.120 I think he feels copped under the budget piece but for represent 33:34.120 --> 33:37.950 said best balance of those difficult decisions that go on some 33:37.950 --> 33:41.540 of these and even the are forced cut five to 30 question their 33:41.540 --> 33:44.440 17 budget but I'm there were Schlitz they put him back on that. 33:45.070 --> 33:48.820 And that's partly to choice. So that again today that the document 33:48.820 --> 33:52.510 that is most relevant is the budget plan of depression that this 33:52.510 --> 33:55.910 sector a submitted a to cap love that will be the document that 33:55.910 --> 33:59.680 drives our discussions with an members of congress and again 34:00.010 --> 34:03.120 congress has a say and mrs Wallace's the conversation at the 34:03.120 --> 34:05.000 sectors looking for daddy with lawmakers. 34:05.510 --> 34:06.930 Okay. But tivo..
