WEBVTT 00:11.440 --> 07:49.338 0:00:11.100,0:00:16.260 I KNOW WHAT A WORLD WITHOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT A VERY NICE 0:00:16.270,0:00:22.000 WORLD, BECAUSE A WORLD WITHOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS THE WORLD BEFORE 1945 AND IF 0:00:22.000,0:00:26.559 YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THE SIX YEARS PRIOR TO AUGUST OF 1945 WHEN THE FIRST NUCLEAR 0:00:26.559,0:00:31.210 WEAPON WAS EMPLOYED AND WE'VE BEEN IN THE NUCLEAR AGE EVER SINCE BUT IF YOU LOOK 0:00:31.210,0:00:36.360 AT THE WORLD THE SIX YEARS PRIOR TO AUGUST OF 1945 IN THOSE SIX YEARS 0:00:36.360,0:00:40.780 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60 AND 80 MILLION PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THAT SIX YEAR 0:00:40.780,0:00:46.240 PERIOD IF YOU DO THE MATH THAT'S SOMEWHERE OVER 30,000 PEOPLE A DAY WERE 0:00:46.240,0:00:50.440 BEING KILLED DURING THE SIX YEARS OF WORLD WAR II THAT'S A WORLD I DON'T 0:00:50.440,0:00:52.560 WANT TO LIVE IN 0:00:53.960,0:00:57.460 NUCLEAR WEAPONS HAVE HELPED KEEP THAT MAJOR POWER CONFLICT 0:00:57.460,0:01:02.920 DOWN AND HAVE HELPED ELIMINATE THAT MAJOR POWER CATASTROPHE THAT WON WORLD 0:01:02.920,0:01:09.100 WAR II THAT'S WHAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROVIDE, THAT STRATEGIC DETERRENT TO PREVENT 0:01:09.100,0:01:13.090 MAJOR POWER CONFLICT IT DOESN'T ELIMINATE CONFLICT, CONFLICT WILL ALWAYS 0:01:13.090,0:01:17.170 EXIST SOMETIMES IT WILL GET TO BE VIOLENT BUT IT HAS KEPT DOWN THE MAJOR 0:01:17.170,0:01:20.240 POWER CONFLICT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 0:01:21.620,0:01:26.620 MODERNIZATION IS CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE OF OUR DETERRENT CAPABILITY SADLY WE'VE 0:01:26.620,0:01:31.810 DELAYED THE MODERNIZATION OF THOSE PROGRAMS REALLY TOO LONG BUT WE'VE PUT A PROCESS 0:01:31.810,0:01:35.700 IN PLACE THAT IS VERY BUREAUCRATIC AND VERY SLOW AND VERY DELIBERATE IT 0:01:35.710,0:01:42.360 PREVENTS BIG MISTAKES BUT IT ALSO PUTS HUGE SCHEDULE INTO PROGRAMS AND WHEN YOU 0:01:42.370,0:01:47.140 HAVE ADVERSARIES THAT ARE GOING FAST YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE TO GO 0:01:47.140,0:01:50.230 THROUGH THAT VERY DELIBERATE PROCESS BECAUSE IF IT TAKES YOU 25 YEARS TO 0:01:50.230,0:01:53.560 BUILD A CAPABILITY WHICH IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO BUILD A NUMBER SPACE 0:01:53.560,0:01:57.550 CAPABILITIES A NUMBER OF MISSILE CAPABILITIES IF IT TAKES YOU 25 YEARS AND THE 0:01:57.550,0:02:02.740 ADVERSARY CAN DO IT IN 10 YEARS IN 50 YEARS YOU'VE HAD TWO CYCLES AND THEY'VE 0:02:02.740,0:02:07.900 HAD FIVE THEY’RE THREE CYCLES AHEAD OF YOU WE CANNOT BE BEHIND OUR ADVERSARIES ANYMORE 0:02:07.900,0:02:12.040 WE HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY AND WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE RISK WE HAVE TO TAKE 0:02:12.040,0:02:17.110 APPROPRIATE RISK NOT CRAZY RISK BUT APPROPRIATE RISK AND GIVE THE AUTHORITY 0:02:17.110,0:02:21.010 AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PEOPLE THAT CAN MOVE FAST AND THEN AMERICAN INDUSTRY 0:02:21.010,0:02:23.820 WILL MOVE FAST JUST LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS DONE 0:02:26.340,0:02:31.080 ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES IS GENERAL SCHREIBER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SPACE 0:02:31.080,0:02:35.849 PROGRAM AS HE'S BUILDING THE CORONA SATELLITE PROGRAM THE FIRST SPY 0:02:35.849,0:02:40.560 SATELLITE IT DIDN'T WORK UNTIL THE 13TH ATTEMPT 12 FAILURES IN A ROW AND THEN 0:02:40.560,0:02:45.180 FINALLY WORKS THE 13TH TIME HE HAD THINGS BLOW UP SOMETIMES WHEN THE 0:02:45.180,0:02:47.849 SATELLITE MADE IT TO SPACE THEN IT DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK TO EARTH 0:02:47.849,0:02:51.930 SPLASHED IN THE OCEAN MULTIPLE TIMES THINGS BROKE ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT EACH 0:02:51.930,0:02:56.400 TIME HE DID THAT THEY LEARNED AND THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN THEY 0:02:56.400,0:02:59.190 LEARNED FROM THE MISTAKES THEY MADE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO TURN 0:02:59.190,0:03:04.170 IT FAST AND THEY WERE ABLE TO TEST ON A VERY RAPID SEQUENCE IN TODAY'S DAY AND 0:03:04.170,0:03:07.530 AGE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE HEADLINES OF THE PAPER IF YOU HAD ANY PROGRAM THAT FAILED 0:03:07.530,0:03:11.310 12 TIMES IN A ROW IT WOULD JUST BE A DEATH KNELL THE PROGRAM WOULDN'T BE 0:03:11.310,0:03:16.349 ALLOWED TO EXCEED BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW YOU GO FAST YOU GO FAST IN THIS 0:03:16.349,0:03:19.700 BUSINESS WHICH IS A VERY DIFFICULT BUSINESS BY PUSHING THE ENVELOPE 0:03:19.700,0:03:24.840 LEARNING INSTRUMENTING THE TEST SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS AND WHAT 0:03:24.840,0:03:28.519 GOES WRONG AND THEN GO FAST 0:03:31.470,0:03:36.260 SO THE THREE PRIORITIES FOR THIS COMMAND ARE I THINK PRETTY SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD 0:03:36.260,0:03:40.620 PRIORITY ONE ABOVE ALL ELSE WE WILL PROVIDE A STRATEGIC DETERRENT 0:03:40.620,0:03:45.450 PRIORITY TWO IF DETERRENCE FAILS WE WILL PROVIDE A DECISIVE RESPONSE AND PRIORITY 0:03:45.450,0:03:50.010 THREE WE'LL DO IT WITH A COMBAT-READY FORCE WHENEVER I SAY THOSE PRIORITIES 0:03:50.010,0:03:53.450 WHAT PEOPLE HEAR WHEN I SAY THAT IS THEY THINK ABOUT OUR NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES 0:03:53.450,0:03:57.000 THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE YOUR HEAD WENT THAT'S WHERE MOST PEOPLE HEAD GO WHEN I 0:03:57.000,0:04:00.600 SAY WE WILL PROVIDE A STRATEGIC DETERRENCE IF DETERRENCE FAILS WE’LL 0:04:00.600,0:04:04.440 PROVIDE A DECISIVE RESPONSE WE'LL DO WITH A COMBAT-READY FORCE EVERYBODY GOES 0:04:04.440,0:04:08.790 TO THE NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES BUT IT ACTUALLY APPLIES TO EVERY ELEMENT OF 0:04:08.790,0:04:13.410 THIS COMMAND NUCLEAR SPACE CYBER MISSILE DEFENSE 0:04:13.410,0:04:17.700 GLOBAL STRIKE ELECTRONIC WARFARE INTELLIGENCE TARGETING ANALYSIS ALL OF 0:04:17.700,0:04:24.450 THOSE CAPABILITIES WE BRING TO BEAR ON THE FIGHT TODAY WE NEED TO IN THE FUTURE 0:04:24.450,0:04:27.480 AND THAT'S THE VISION FOR THIS COMMAND WE NEED TO MOVE WHERE ALL OF THOSE 0:04:27.480,0:04:31.080 CAPABILITIES ARE INTEGRATED TO PROVIDE A SINGLE DETERRENT EFFECT A SINGLE 0:04:31.080,0:04:35.040 DECISIVE RESPONSE IF WERE THREATENED ALL THOSE CAPABILITIES TOGETHER WILL BE MUCH MORE 0:04:35.040,0:04:38.520 POWERFUL THAN EACH OF THEM SEPARATELY AND THAT APPLIES TO THE NUCLEAR 0:04:38.520,0:04:40.800 CAPABILITIES AS WELL 0:04:44.360,0:04:47.659 FROM AN INSURANCE PERSPECTIVE ASSURANCE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE 0:04:47.659,0:04:54.500 DO FOR OUR ALLIES WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR ALLIES LIKE THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA OR 0:04:54.500,0:04:57.979 JAPAN WE HAVE CAPABILITIES HERE THAT PROVIDE 0:04:57.979,0:05:02.569 AN EXTENDED DETERRENT FOR THOSE TWO ALLIES IN A NUMBER OF OTHER ALLIES 0:05:02.569,0:05:06.740 AROUND THE WORLD IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALWAYS ASSURE THEM THAT WE WILL BE THERE 0:05:06.740,0:05:10.219 WITH THE CAPABILITIES THAT WE HAVE IF THEY'RE EVER ATTACKED WITH NUCLEAR 0:05:10.219,0:05:14.300 CAPABILITIES THAT'S WHAT EXTENDED DETERRENCE MEANS AND SO WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY 0:05:14.300,0:05:17.599 TO ASSURE OUR ALLIES THROUGH DEMONSTRATIONS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP 0:05:17.599,0:05:23.479 THROUGH EXERCISES THAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE IF THERE'S A CHALLENGE THAT THEY 0:05:23.479,0:05:27.740 FACE AND THERE IS A CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW WITH NORTH KOREA AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT 0:05:27.740,0:05:31.380 FOR THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA AND FOR JAPAN THAT THEY KNOW 0:05:31.380,0:05:35.000 THAT WE WILL BE THERE AND WE WILL BE 0:05:37.600,0:05:40.420 THE GREATEST GIFT TO COMMANDERS GIVEN IS THE SONS AND 0:05:40.430,0:05:46.759 DAUGHTERS OF OUR NATION AND THEY COME TO WORK EVERY DAY SO IF YOU GO ON BOARD A 0:05:46.759,0:05:51.110 NUCLEAR SUBMARINE WHETHER IT'S THE TENNESSEE OR THE ALABAMA WHATEVER 0:05:51.110,0:05:55.879 ELEMENT OF OUR FORCE AND YOU GO UNDERWAY ON THAT SUBMARINE YOU'LL HAVE 0:05:55.880,0:06:02.280 SOME NUMBER OVER 100 SAILORS THAT ARE UNDERWATER FOR MONTHS AT A TIME 0:06:02.280,0:06:10.540 UNDER THE WATER SILENT SERVICE ALWAYS READY ALWAYS CAPABLE AND THEY ARE SO BRIGHT 0:06:10.550,0:06:15.500 SO ENERGIZED SO MOTIVATED THEY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED 0:06:15.500,0:06:20.210 TO DO EVERY DAY WHEN THEY COME TO WORK THEY ARE READY IF YOU GO TO THE MISSILE 0:06:20.210,0:06:26.090 FIELDS OF MONTANA NORTH DAKOTA COLORADO ANYWHERE YOU GO YOU GO INTO A LAUNCH 0:06:26.090,0:06:32.990 CONTROL CENTER YOU'LL FIND TWO YOUNG AIR FORCE OFFICERS SITTING ALERT 24 HOURS 0:06:32.990,0:06:37.610 READY AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE TO RESPOND AND THEY ARE HIGHLY MOTIVATED THEY 0:06:37.610,0:06:42.350 UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE DOING THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB THEIR COUNTRY HAS TO GIVE 0:06:42.350,0:06:48.800 AND THEY'RE DOING THAT AND THEY'RE READY IT'S JUST IT IS THE GREATEST FEELING IN 0:06:48.800,0:06:53.510 THE WORLD THAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT BEING A COMMANDER WITHOUT A DOUBT THE 0:06:53.510,0:06:58.280 BEST PART OF BEING A COMMANDER IS ACTUALLY SEEING THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN 0:06:58.280,0:07:02.630 WHO DO THIS MISSION EVERY DAY THE SOLDIERS SAILORS AND AIRMEN AND MARINES 0:07:02.630,0:07:08.120 WHO SIGN UP TO DO SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT JOBS THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS AND 0:07:08.120,0:07:12.380 MAN THEY DO IT THEY LOVE IT AND THEY'RE GOOD AT IT
