“What is the protocol when one steps on a land mine, Admiral” “The usual procedure is to jump a hundred feet into the sky and spread yourself over a wide area, Senator”
It depends of the type of the land mine, senator. Mostly nothing, because a non-American is too light to set off a tank land mine, while a bouncing mine jumps and goes off only when you REMOVE your foot from it. Senator.

The most grueling part of these submersions comes when the crew is forced to spend 19½ minutes eating bowl after bowl of gruel and asking for more when each one is finished.
France designed a good submarine, the most capable diesel submarine ever designed. They just made it unnecessarily expensive and didn’t transfer as much technology to Australia (including construction in Australia) as requested. They were confident that because nobody else offered diesel submarines approaching this capability and Australia is still steadfastly opposed to nuclear power, Naval Group had a monopoly and could pull whatever shenanigans they wanted and Australia would have to accept them.

she made a mistake between 20 hours and 20 days. the core of her argument is valid. the type of sub the brass want to buy is not great, they are prepared to pay too much for too little from an unproven supplier.she stuttered and fumbled while he talked calmly. but in the core of her position there is nothing silly or stupid. i’m not saying she is right and he is wrong, but her concerns are valid.
@@johnnysecular She did not make that mistake, because right after she changed it into "3 days", which alludes that her previous statement is shorter, not longer. Whether the sub is up to par or not is not up to her to decide, as she does not have the required knowledge to understand and make a decision, much less when she showed nearly complete lack of basic understanding. Her concerns may meant well, but it is as helpful as an average joe's concern on Nasa's type of rockets, aka completely irrelevant.

My dad was in the U.S. Air Force when I was growing up. We spent 2 1/2 years in Australia, and the Australian military that we knew were all nothing short of professional, and we're glad Australia is on our side. That woman needed to stay in her lane.
It's not up to her to decide what should or shouldn't be classified. She can make further inquiries afterwards regarding whether it truly is classified or not.
If only he had answered, yes I do! you as a senator should know that classified information is not disclosed at a public meeting. The senator would do well to do a little bit more research on the subject she is asking questions about, before she asks, and lets be fair here, dumb uneducated questions.
Not even that funny. The J4 ones we bought from the UK have stayed underwater since 1927. Of course you can stay onboard for as long as your dive tank and decompression schedule allows.

Politicians never cease to amaze and entertain. I'm reminded of this exchange in the US, in 2010, between Rep. Hank Johnson and Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet during a House Armed Services Committee hearing regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island of Guam. Johnson expressed some concerns as follows: "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize". Willard paused and replied, "We don't anticipate that."
and the corruption of the clinton clan. glad he didn't get his way and have naval group fleece australia of another $20B for non-existant diesel submarines that cannot operate for 3 days underwater.
no, he must have raged in frustration, knowing idiots like this are who decide on his budget, have to ok the purchase of the equipment he needs, and ultimately get to decide on his very career and the lives of those he's commanding.
1mezion, no i think he pissed off, that a person with such a loose grip of reality, has oversight of him, like the bosses pot headed son being in charge, that’ll trigger you hard.
I was in awe watching this admiral display "the patience of Job." The Australian Navy must be very proud to have such a man, (i.e. mensch) as one of its leaders.
This is what I don't like about politicians and it seems to be pretty universal across many countries. They seem very out of touch with reality and uninformed on important topics. What bothers me is these are the very same people who make policies that we must follow...
Given Australia's procurement history, she is hesitant. But her staff did not find the right questions to ask. - Is the 'Suffren' build on time and on budget? - What do the American, the Dutch, the Swedes and the Brits have to say about the French Navy? Are they any good? - If a country can't get American toys, they buy Russian or German. Never French. Why do you think that is? - Why do you need such a big boat. Why a nuke, converted to use diesels? Why not a Swedish Gotland-class diesel-electric? - Nobody has ever used a pump-jet on anything bigger than a torpedo.That either means that the French are very smart and everybody else missed a trick. Or it is a stupid idea. Usually it is the latter. What have the French done to prove the concept?
@John J be practical, which country is willing to share their nuclear submarine tech with another country? Even if it's their closest allies..... Nuclear subs form the most deterrent aspect of nuclear traiact and no nation besides Russia is willing to sell their subs which cost around 4 billion per ship while maintaining sea worthy adds up. Australia didn't have the luxury of either buying or building their own subs.

I commend this sailor for his restraint. I'm too wondering who'd vote for this woman but I don't find it astonishing that someone did. I look at USA and see Trump. I look at UK and see Brexiters.

If you don't know already, that Senator is Pauline Hanson of Australia. She is the most racist, xenophobic politician to have ever run for office in this country. In the 1990's she went after 'the asians' and since 9/11 she has had her sights set on islam and 'banning the burqa'. She is a vile excuse for a human being.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

She owned a fish and chips shop and thanks to democracy. She in now get to a part of Senate investigation hearings. To quote Winston Churchill 'Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’
Simon Jones it’s a bit more complicated than that Simon. I don’t blame democracy because if she was in an authoritarian regime she would be right at home. I blame the fact that history in Australian schools is poorly delivered today. I don’t blame the teachers, just the curriculum. We’ve also pushed “easy” English instead of making mainstream senior English more accessible. I do think we have a problem with voting for the senate.
To put some context into this. Pauline Hanson wanted Australia to buy nuclear submarines back in 2017. And she couldn't understand why we were going to buy anything other than nuclear submarines, because they can stay under water for a long time. And the rear admiral even told her the nuclear submarines were out of the question. But she was confused about the propulsion system. In the end though Australia is to get the submarines that she wanted.
"To put some context into this." Yeah it's funny to read the comments in here trying to put shit on Hanson when it turns out that she was right and this deal was a terrible deal for Australia.

I don't have a problem with people not understanding how a specific type of submarine works, or why they are designed in such a way, but if your job (Which is an important one), is to scrutinise military procurement, then do your homework. I'm sure she has staff that could brief her on this, or that any member of the submarine service would be happy to spend an afternoon with her behind closed doors and away from cameras where she could ask any dump questions that she wanted. To ask stupid questions to a rear admiral in public and on camera makes her look a fool.

Anyone, especially a politician who seriously thinks a military submarine can only stay under water for 20 minutes, needs to go back to school, pre school.
Follow the yellow brick road
she made a mistake between 20 hours and 20 days. the core of her argument is valid. the type of sub the brass want to buy is not great, they are prepared to pay too much for too little from an unproven supplier.she stuttered and fumbled while he talked calmly. but in the core of her position there is nothing silly or stupid. i’m not saying she is right and he is wrong, but her concerns are valid.
…or perhaps go back to her fish ‘n chips shop :)
No, they need to quit and let an adult handle that position
@@johnnysecular She did not make that mistake, because right after she changed it into "3 days", which alludes that her previous statement is shorter, not longer. Whether the sub is up to par or not is not up to her to decide, as she does not have the required knowledge to understand and make a decision, much less when she showed nearly complete lack of basic understanding.
Her concerns may meant well, but it is as helpful as an average joe's concern on Nasa's type of rockets, aka completely irrelevant.
For those who arent aware, this woman is a running joke in Australian politics.
Although I am not too well acquainted with Australian politics, I kinda got that feeling from this video.

I believe in accuracy. Fact-check Our future President called black people super predators and said he didn’t want them to mix with his kids at school, saying it would be a “racial jungle.” Our future VP prosecuted black men with sentence enhancements under the crime bill our future President wrote, while she admitted committing the same offenses (smoking weed). Our future VP also said she believes our future Presidents accuser when she says our future President sexually assaulted her, yet she still is his VP. So who is the party of racists and sexists?
My dad was in the U.S. Air Force when I was growing up. We spent 2 1/2 years in Australia, and the Australian military that we knew were all nothing short of professional, and we're glad Australia is on our side. That woman needed to stay in her lane.

It she had just watched an episode of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" she'd been wanting to know if Admiral Nelson was coming to explain the "Flying Sub".
It may have been crazy edited out! Never know!
It probably wudve made sense to her given that it had "jets".

- Is the 'Suffren' build on time and on budget?
- What do the American, the Dutch, the Swedes and the Brits have to say about the French Navy? Are they any good?
- If a country can't get American toys, they buy Russian or German. Never French. Why do you think that is?
- Why do you need such a big boat. Why a nuke, converted to use diesels? Why not a Swedish Gotland-class diesel-electric?
- Nobody has ever used a pump-jet on anything bigger than a torpedo.That either means that the French are very smart and everybody else missed a trick. Or it is a stupid idea. Usually it is the latter. What have the French done to prove the concept?

Simon Jones it’s a bit more complicated than that Simon. I don’t blame democracy because if she was in an authoritarian regime she would be right at home. I blame the fact that history in Australian schools is poorly delivered today. I don’t blame the teachers, just the curriculum. We’ve also pushed “easy” English instead of making mainstream senior English more accessible. I do think we have a problem with voting for the senate.
Why do I get the impression that the senator has been held underwater for more than 20 min?
I think the Rear Admiral wanted to hold her under for that period of time
Jim Ham:
That is definitely a good one. Hahaha hahahaha. That is priceless.
Oh thats good!!!
Jim Ham bad case of the bends.
A golden feather for you brother. ha ha Good one.
She makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine.
Now that's funny !
Flexseal……..LOL.
Maybe that's why submarines in her mind only last for 20 minutes under water?
Wet Lettuce....I wonder if she was thinking about the toy submarine in her bath tub? She probably propels it with fart bubbles.
I wonder if FlexSeal could fix it...
To put some context into this.
Pauline Hanson wanted Australia to buy nuclear submarines back in 2017.
And she couldn't understand why we were going to buy anything other than nuclear submarines, because they can stay under water for a long time.
And the rear admiral even told her the nuclear submarines were out of the question.
But she was confused about the propulsion system.
In the end though Australia is to get the submarines that she wanted.
They gave him a medal for his submarine work and asked to leave. That’s a lesson in politics.
"To put some context into this."
Yeah it's funny to read the comments in here trying to put shit on Hanson when it turns out that she was right and this deal was a terrible deal for Australia.
@@gooble69We will shit shit on Hanson and she deserves it, times change and requirements change.
I’m surprised she didn’t ask about the color of the submarine and inquire whether or not it would be yellow or not and if they can all live it.
Lol, everyone knows that if you paint a red stripe down the sides it goes faster.
Jose Salazar: some research subs and commerciL mini subs ARE yellow!!!
And the band plays Sgt. Pepper
Best comment I've seen in a long time
And if she'd,
Like to be...
He’d be a hell of a poker player keeping a straight face like that
You can´t really show your dislike of politician while participating in public hearing. It could cost you everything, as politicians are the worst human breed, able to destroy you for single word or face they didn´t like.
He a high ranking military official, I'm sure he's quite used to explaining things to clueless civilians when it comes to things the military does.
I don’t know what you were seeing, but everything about him was dripping of contempt
The guy was getting intensely irritated by this womans stupidity body language when talking did not engage eye contact and body movement .......
He is probably within the acceptable limits of professional respect, but compared to American officers I have seen in similar situations he does indeed seem to be openly contemptuous.
I find her fascinating.
“There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.”
Oscar Wilde.
Lol we know nothing. Humans know absolute nothing.
I would only find her fascinating if she took the chrome test first and passed it . . .
People that know everything are obnoxious and rude
@@MrCcragg27 People who know everything would by definition know how to behave, and when to keep silent.
That guy is a Rear Admiral for a reason... He got that calm, intelligent posture to him... In internet lingo.. He good smart
And he made the wrong call. Australia went nuclear, and he looks like an idiot
“Please tell the world the classified performance details of this submarine.”
I was laughing soooo hard when the other girl is like “hey, dumb bitch, that is classified and you don’t make the rules on classified information”.
Given the subs are made by an outside company i doubt there's any point trying to hide that information
@@10babiscar That is irrelevant, the performance details are classified/secret. The company that manufactures them does not release that information.
That reminds me of the Gulf War when reporters kept asking General Schwarzkopf when the ground war was going to start. I could imagine the General sarcastically remarking that they will put all their military plans on the internet so even the enemy knows the plans.
@@russellbaston974 of course it's relevant, no country would sign a contract for the subs without knowing the capabilities, so the company will release that info to any potential buyer. hence it is public info
She probably cannot fathom why information like that would be classified. This shows that the wrong people are in certain positions.
Nice use of the word fathom.
@@trey8378 I just got the double entendre. 😂
Why should she trust him?
Have they not made an arrangement so that he can disclose to an intermediary and she can be allowed to decide privately on expenditure ?
let's face it ,
it is Pauline Hanson, the leader of the ignorance party .
@@myparceltape1169 Nobody said to not trust her. But I wouldn't be questioning the sous-chef on which ingredients he should use if I can't understand how a meal is prepared. But I bet there is someone else more qualified.
I’ve taken bowel movements smarter than this woman.
Bro, I burst out laughing. Funniest comment here 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Hope you don't mind but I am SO stealing that!

I am glad to see that it is not just America that suffers from having brain dead senators.
bullydog5150558 merimon while i know that your relieve that your senate is not alone in this ordeal, i dont think its something to be glad about, that our society is being ran by morons.

Yeh ikr our country is completely fucked. Even things like petrol are rediculously high, but still a necessity for an everyday aussie, and they couldnt give a fuck
I don't have a problem with people not understanding how a specific type of submarine works, or why they are designed in such a way, but if your job (Which is an important one), is to scrutinise military procurement, then do your homework. I'm sure she has staff that could brief her on this, or that any member of the submarine service would be happy to spend an afternoon with her behind closed doors and away from cameras where she could ask any dump questions that she wanted. To ask stupid questions to a rear admiral in public and on camera makes her look a fool.
As a generality if your job description is politician you’re both a crook and an idiot.
+1 and another thumbs up 👍
Admiral: The competitive design evaluation was a thorough process.
Senator: What sort of standards did you have?
Admiral: Well, the front’s not supposed to fall off.
Maybe if he said it that way, she’d understand. Probably not, though.
The front fell off!
Well, cardboard is out the question.
@@philipcooper8297 and cardboard derivatives
Only true Australians will understand this 👍🏼
@@w.h648 wait, I understand this. Does that make me Australian?
This guy is so tired of stupid senators using “sub”, and not even bothering to say submarine
That...matters?
No just found it funny, also why do i have 120 likes?
I usually say hoagie.
@@YenSnipest Well, yes and no. Technically, it doesn‘t matter. It’s just that when politicians use that kind of abbreviations, they often do so in a pathetic attempt to feign familiarity with the matter that couldn‘t more obviously be simply not there, which adds to the cringeworthiness of the situation and makes it yet a bit more tiring to keep professionally calm and respectful during those hearings.
a sub is just a silly sandwich
That Admiral was very gracious to the Senator
