And the entire room was amazed by what they heard. Ringing out from the trembling boys a violin was a tune they all recognized. This young cuban boy was playing the starspangled banner. [applause] luiz played the American National anthem all the way through, and when he finished, the room was dead silent. When we say that america stands as a symbol to the world, a symbol of freedom, and a symbol of hope, that is what luiz meant, and that is what luiz played that day. It was a big day, it was a great day, and that is what we will all remain. That was a very important moment, just like this is now in cuba. A very important moment. [applause] america will always stand for liberty, and america will always pray and cheer for the freedom of the cuban people. Now that little boy, whose story i just told you, the one who played that violin so beautifully so many years ago, is here with us today in our very, very packed and extremely warm up port authority. Of course, he is no longer a little boy, but a worldrenowned violinist and conductor, one of the greatest. And today he will once again play his violin and fill the hearts of all who love and cherish cuba, the United States, and freedom. I would like now to invite luiz to the stage. Luiz. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] President Trump thank you, luiz. So when were you more nervous, today or then . He says honestly i think today. Thank you, luiz, that was beautiful. So i want to thank miami, i want to thank little havana, have not, we love it, would you live anywhere else . You wouldnt move to palm beach . No. Little havana. And i want to thank all of you, our great friends here today. Youve been amazing, loyal, beautiful people. And thank you. Dont remind me. Actually i was telling mike so it was two days to a big day which turned out to be tomorrow, that was the day i came down with melania on the escalator at trump tower, thats tomorrow. So its exactly tomorrow, two years since we announced. And it worked out okay. It worked out okay. Its a great honor, believe me, its a great honor, right . [cheers and applause] President Trump thank you. I thank you very much. I just want to end by saying may god bless everyone searching for freedom, may god bless cuba. May god bless the United States of america. And god bless you all. Thank you. Now im going to sign. Thank you. President trump, wrapping up a major feat in miami, rolling back president obamas policy on cuba relations. Hello everyone, im melissa francis. Obama signed an executive order in 2014 to open u. S. Trade and travel to the country, now mr. Trump is taking steps to reverse some of those policies. President trump we will not be silent in the face of communist oppression any longer. You have seen the truth. You have spoken the truth, and the truth has now called us, this group, called us to action. Melissa kevin is live in miami with more on this one. Kevin. Ive got to tell you, it was a dramatic speech, you heard the resident say emphatically he was going to do away with the obama era cuba policy, if you look inside for details, you can tell it is actually more of a modification then a complete redo, but the passion was no less evident as you see the president over my shoulder, actually now signing what he is considering a better policy for the cuba policy. Keep this in mind, it is one thing to really reach out and hope that the u. S. And citizens here can reach out to the people of cuba, but it is Something Else to actually put into action. He saw that with president obama, President Trump thinks that he has a better solution, and he said as much not very long ago. President trump therefore, effective immediately, i am canceling the last administrations completely one sided deal with cuba. As the president pointed out quite aptly, it is rather warm in here and certainly passionate. I want to share something. I saw probably as many as 25 or 30 people that had to be at least in their 80s, maybe even 90s, come into this auditorium. This is an amazing moment for them because this represents a lot more than simply policy from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. This represents a major strategic change in the way that our country reaches out to the people, both cubanamericans here, but most certainly the people of cuba themselves. Back to you. Melissa all right, thank you so much for that. A joining me now for more on all of this is dr. Rebecca, independent research and National Security and military analyst. And we have former republican florida senator , Housing Urban Development secretary, thank you both for joining us. Dr. Grant, i will start with yo you. They call it a rollback it, but there are some things that are going to stay in place. The u. S. Embassy will remain in havana, you can still buy cigars and rum, what do you make of this . Exactly. So some are saying that the embassies are staying open, but melissa, what i heard here is this is a real strategic thing, National Security has been a big part of this, dont forget cuba flaunts its friendship with north korea. The president , the cubans have been caught shipping arms, they will recognize the south, so there is a big National Security deal here. President trump just does not want to continue to support the dictatorship in any way whatsoever. Melissa yeah. Senator martinez, the talk is that this is about not putting money into the hands of the oppressive government, that there is going to be regulations on transactions, cuban intelligence and security services, tightening of individual travel, but also restrictions on commerce with the cuban government. Does that make sense . Well, look, i think that we have a complete rewrite which would not have been the right thing to do, keeping the diplomacy open, invite the cubans to the table to negotiat negotiate, would have been a deal on some level of compromis compromise, unlike a unilateral sort of agreement to that we reach with them before by the United States giving and on every issue. So i think it strikes a fair balance, i think its important that we maintain some of the business links that have been developed, that we particularly focus them and those opportunities that arise with people as opposed to the oppressive regime, which is benefiting under the current situation. So i think a good balance has been struck, i think its going to open up some opportunities, but by the way, for too long, we hear about the people of miami are profiting, when you see the story about the violinist, this is about a lot more than you know some company 50 years ago. Who cares about that . Thats important, but the real important thing is human freedom and the people of cuba to have the dignity to live in a place that serves their human rights. Melissa the argument against what president obama did is the distance of relief that were then thrown back in jail as soon as president obama left the country. They also say that once you do business with whoever is in charge and cuba, whether it is military, once they start to get that money and you take it away, it provides more of an incentive now to renormalize relations, maybe we have a better position now, what do you think . Well i think the intent of this change in status is to get the smaller businesses. Rubio, the president talk about that, so we really want to get back to that principle of human freedom. We want to help those Small Businesses and not necessarily just funnel everything into the others. You know, the control of the container shipping port against the russian oil port, its a mess, so we really need to look at that, i think that is a fair balance that they are trying to strike. We all want to see human freedom go forward. Melissa senator martinez, people make the argument that you want to outsource democracy, want to give them a taste of american goods, what it is like to be free so that the people are more empowered and they want to overthrow the oppressive regime that all of these years have tried to isolate them, what you say against that . Well, i think that the fact is that giving people the opportunity to have a better life, i dont think its about an overthrow because the regime that they have in place is not going to be overthrown by demonstrators, but in terms of human rights, it is encouraging the cuban government to understand that their current regime and Current System simply does not work. Countless numbers of american businesses who have tried to go to cuba to do business, but they find the environment to be unwelcoming. There is no system of organized concentration, there is no way of employing humans directly, you have to employ them to the human government, they have two currencies, it does not invite investment, the dollars can gravitate to many different places, they are seeking an environment that is welcoming, not one has varied difficult place. Melissa it will certainly be interesting to see what happens here. Thanks to both of you. Thank you. Thank you. Melissa rex tillers and despite overwhelming support and they sent senate, what is the secretarys objection . Well, melissa, the secretary have it hit a low point, has told two congressional committees this week that he wants maximum flexibility in dealing with russia. The bill that passed in the senate this week would hamper the trumps administrations sanctions russia. Tillers tillerson argues against that because he has engaged in discussions with russia. I think what we would like is the flexibility to turn that heat up when we sense that our efforts with russia whether it be in syria, we have engagements that they have asked for us to engage with them on ukraines, so we have some channels that are open where we are starting to talk to, and i think what i wouldnt want to deal is closely channels off. One congressional aid said that the intent here was to essentially establish guardrail guardrails, the trumpet administration would maintain a robust regime and a robust posture against the putin regime in russia, that is something that has gone bipartisan support. Soon thank you so much for that. So it is the end of the road for two escaped inmates, how the brave actions of two home owners helped police put the collar on them after an intense manhunt. Ends the war in afghanistan now in its 16th year, with no end in sight. A new details on the pentagons plan for that countrys future and why they are not staying they are sending troops right now.

Melissa the fbi is now digging into the background of an illinois man who opened fire at a congressional baseball practice in virginia, wounding five people including House Majority whip, steve scalise. We are live in washington, and catherine, what is the latest in the investigation into the shooter . Well, melissa, we are hearing from the suspects wife for the first time, holding an impromptu News Conference outside the family home in belleville illinois, he came to washington to work on tax policy, and asking for privacy. I cant believe he did this. I cant believe it. I just want us all to go away and leave my neighbors and peace. They dont deserve this. I dont deserve this, my daughters dont deserve all thi this. After he opened fire on republican lawmakers at a congressional baseball practice in virginia, the fbi posted this flyer, asking for information, and they also did a review of his social media that showed us as we been widely reporting that James Hodgkinson was upset about tax policy and railing against republicans, the fbi has now confirmed that they are wrapped up the trace on the weapons that were found at the scene, and there is no evidence to suggest that 9millimeter handgun or rifle were purchased illegally, melissa. Melissa so we know about the rantings on facebook and the like it, is not conclusive on motive . Are they still looking into more specific modus . One of the developments is that after they searched his van, agents recovered a phone, a computer, as well as a camera, and agents are hopeful that Digital Forensic trail will reveal whether the shooting was premeditated or opportunistic. Obviously, we are looking to gleam what we can from the conscious regarding his electrical devices that he owned. Law enforcement has been led to believe that the shooter has been living in alexandria, virginia, area, since march of this year. Investigators remain unseen in alexandria, virginia, where the baseball diamond and that immediate area are a crime scene. Agents are working on the ballistics evidence, and investigating the trajectory of the shots to reconstruct what exactly happened when the shots were fired. Law enforcement is saying to us that the investigation is progressing, they have been looking at the evidence gathered so far, and everything suggest so far at least so far that he did act alone, melissa. Melissa catherine, thank you. A possible development in ground war in afghanistan, the white house is now pushing back on a report that says that the pentagon may be planning to send thousands more troops, so the Associated Press reporting that about 4,000, no final number has been reached, they could add to the 8400 troops already in the field there, that is done from a high of 100,000 back in 2010. That war now going on 16 years. Generating about 2400 u. S. Casualties, earlier this week, secretary said that the decision by the obama meant administration to cut troops was misguided, sailing to crystal, reacting to this earlier. It may work it, it may not work. What weve got to decide at a National Level concluding what is our objective . How much resolve do we have to prosecute that over the long term . Because this isnt an 18 month or three year effort going forward. Its going to be longer than that. Melissa joining us now is republican congressman, lets start with a report that we were seeing out of ap that we are now pushing back on. What do you make of that backandforth . Welcome of white house hasnt they are going to send to afghanistan, but i think what the general said was true. We have to decide what our mission is and what our goal is, do we want to win, or do we want to back off and come home . But lets not have what we had with barack obama where you have this middle ground where you are having and have found, either we are going to send troops, send money, send resources, or we are going to pack up and bring our guys home, but melissa, what i appreciate from Donald Trumps he said he was going to crush ices. He was going to help us eradicate the threat of radical islamic threat, if youre going to do that, you have to engage, and you have to listen to your people on the ground. The general feels a little bad that he will take the device and listen to him whereas barack obama was making choices that war is not listening to others. Melissa but if you drill on what you are talking about there, there are a lot of different terrace and a lot of Different Countries right now, there are so many different fronts for this war that continue to expand, is this one of the most important frontiers where we should be spending so much time in lives and Everything Else . We cant forget that it was in afghanistan where the plan for 9 11 was hatched, where bin laden was given sanctuary,. Thank you for the correction. Thats where he was from, we look at isis and the attack so they have had not only in the u. S. But across europe, so we have two very hot spots that we have to keep our fingers on, so i do think it is worth it, and i do think there is a significant rest of the American People if we just walk away, i am proud that President Trump is listening to his commanders and actually engaging to keep us safe. Melissa do you think it is realistic to think that if we engaged in a big way, the way that the present has talked about, if we really double and triple down on what we are doing that the timeline i guess it would be short enough that americans would feel like it is worth it . Because what people are afraid of is getting entrenched in a war that has gone on and on and on, we are talking about 16 years already invested. I will tell you what from my own constituents, 16 years as a long time, the number of men and women that we have lost in the amount of that we have spent, but i do think that we saw under the bush administration, they were making Good Progress in afghanistan, and a lot of that progress was rolled back in the last eight years, i do think again if you have a good strategy and good commanders, and a president who will listen to them and a congress that will fund them and give them the resources, i do think that this is a conflict that we can prevail at. It goes right to the heart of who we are as american citizens. Melissa sean duffy, thank you. So a tweet from the president causing some confusion.
