Who is Deputy Editor and Senior Pentagon correspondent for defense news here with us to talk about the efforts to pass the Defense Authorization bill. Aaron, the bill sets programs and policies for the pentagon. How important is it for pentagon operations and for the funding that those programs require . So the national Defense Authorization act, essentially, its the defense policy bill. This is seen on the hill and its one of the mustpass bills and this is how much well pay members of the military and this is how many plane, how many ships and how many guns were going to buy and this is how we want to invest and it can include policy, and regarding some movements in some cases and overseas exercises and things like that. It is very much the bill that sets the next year of the military and in some cases the next five years of the military planning. It is seen in the pent fwon as something they need to get done every year and it is done as a point of pride they get done every year and i
Us to deal with. And i love the way you two talked about whats happening and whats going to happen. Well, i mean, shes setting the tone for the administration. We have actually heard a lot from the new president in the past eight days. He has spoken publicly a lot. But we are hearing even more from jen psaki in the briefing room, and shes setting this tone of normalcy, accountability, Expository Work that tells us what the administration thinks the problem is, what they are doing to work on it, who is in charge of that work. And that person will be answering questions about it, as will jen psaki on behalf of the entire administration. Its just basic accountability, which is basic small deed democracy, which is just something we were used to before. We lost it for four years, and now it just feels so radical to get back to it. I hope it never i hope we never take it for granted again. I think we have, for this year, a series of rachel and jen conversations coming up at 9 00 p. M. Interm
Dont bet against progress thats the lesson for todays stock market where the gross name came roaring back the nasdaq surged 3. 85 . I know what you are thinking. It feels like the whole republic fringes. Well, excuse me. We are having one of the greatest rallies i have ever seen despite all the worries, the woes about the market tanking if Election Night was in indecisive indecisive like it or not, the people spoke. Whether biden or trump ends up on top, it looks like buy den right now. The democrats will have the house and the republicans will have the senate. At least two years of boring do nothing government even with the pandemic and the high unemployment and of course just kind of anger, americans seemed satisfy with the status q quo. They certainly dont want higher taxes. Something that would have been on the agenda if the socalled blue wave has washed in. Thats a big deal. I know based on the polling, i was worried what may happen to stock with a blue wave just stocks. I am sure
Alphabetical order, the incumbent conor lamb in Congress Since 2018. And the challenger, republican Shaun Parnell refired army ranger running for the first time. Weve posted the rules of the debates online and we flipped a coin to determine who goes first for Opening Statements. Congressman lamb, you won the toss, you have two minutes. Thank you, and good evening. At town Hall Meetings and your front doors i had a chance to ask thousands of you about what you want to see in your representatives. People have told me how divided we are, tired of the chaos, tired of the shutdowns, tired of feeling like nothing gets done. People want members of congress to stop attacking each other, and start dealing with the real problems we face and thats exactly how ive done this job. 80 of the votes ive cost have been bipartisan, and wrote and cowrote three bipartisan bills signed into law. I know how to work with others to get things done and right now we need that approach more than ever. This pandem
