Partners and how their actions decisions, capabilities might play in our assistance of their defense or how it may limit our ability, depending on what choices they have to make. Nato, for instance has a very detailed bmd plan for the intercept of missiles for nato territory and europe. What are other elements that the Nato Alliance can bring to bear fence an antagonist. They are a military alliance after all. They are not the eu. What sort of connections and relations with the eu, the economic deciders of europe need to be engendered in order to come up with an effective response. In the interleaving of these capabilities do they fall under the nato command structure or some other entity. The eu council of governments, unclear. Earlier we were talking about exchanging information. Frank mentioned that. How do you coordinate this with owe allies and partners. Some of us can be very sensitive. But some of it needs to be planned and thought of ahead of time. Do we need to extend the conc
Your time and considering on my diatribe here and wanted to share some reflections from somebody who worked both within the World Health Organization on Communicable Diseases at the United Nations on the biological and tox sick Weapons Convention and looking at addressing multiple nontraditional ways of mitigating the effects of naturally occurring deliberate or accidental diseases as well as somebody whos been looking at this from the private sector so thank you. We thank you very much. We start with the department of health in chicago you have quite an Operations Center out there, i visited many times years ago, and its very sophisticated, its its own Fusion Center. And that community and there are a few others, very few like that in the country. Our Public Health community, 24 7 in that center. Yes, sir, we are. And that is because we have utilized our Grant Funding to be creative in our standing, we have a Public Health person who was embedded 100 in our office of Emergency Managem
Technology exploration now is to look at ways to bring electrooptical sensors into this architecture beyond that opir sensor, that Missile Warning sensor that kicks these things off. And were going to do that by capitalizing on the work thats being done in industry today. Both on sensors, as well as on building Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that fly at very high at attitudes. A High Altitude platform is also key to one of the other investments we want to make. So if we go back just a few years here, we made a big bet on airborne layser in the light 90s and early 2000s. And that system that we built, although it was very effective in doing that one particular job we had for it, which is proving that you could shoot down a rocket at the speed of light using light a tremendous accomplishment. Although, it proved impractical from an operational standpoint, you can imagine have a fleet of 737s flying at 33,000 feet with a laser system in them. There is a lot of challenges in that. What we know n
Any capability, maybe not designed to catch every single thing that they could lob at us. But long enough to buy our leaders some time to be able to make an assessment and have options, if you will. The nation would have options. So i continue to believe that were on the right path. Thats part of a larger continuum of capabilities. And i dont think we ever want to give up on the idea that we have some capability in the Missile Defense tool kit. All right. I think well take one more question right here. Wait for the mike. Yeah. Im anna wilderman. For the first and only time in history, i attended the 35th reunion of the graduates of the Philippines Science High School 1970, and this is, i call it learning trips, okay . And this is what i learned because theyre assessing, because im an american, okay. And this is a reminder to me by the general, joint chiefs and economic minister, remind the americans that to us zerobased budget is zero, nothing. We dont have anything to spend at the end
It involves panty hose, all sorts of things, including even secret elevators. We will talk about that. Plus a physical attack on the wealthy. One affluent town in california has been hit hard. Speaking of wealth, the wealthiest neighborhood in the u. S. Not by zip code or by county. We will go street by street. Tyler is out today. Simon is at the nyse and we will get downtown in just a second. First, that big news on housing. Diana olick is in the house and she has been talking to the biggest name in the business, ivy zelman. The noted analyst famous for calling the top and bottom of the latest housing cycle, last spring she said here on cnbc that we were in housing nirvana. By fall she revised her outlooks down. Today she explained why. I think nirvana took a pause, during that time house prices home prices were surging and we had very attractive affordability and a few months after i was on, we had rates spike about 100 plus basis points and we saw a pause. The consumer was rationall
