States do make mistakes, he would cut the majority 251 dominic , on the eve of todays vote, moore and jones took shots at each other and competing rallies. The difference is between my opponent and me are vast. It is time that we put our decency, our state before political party. He thinks i am a bigot, he thinks because i favor traditional marriage or god that that is the wrong position. The people of alabama do not agree. I think it is time that we say no more to putting people down, no more to treating people as secondclass citizens. No more to discriminating against those that are the least fortunate among us. It is time, folks, that we say no more. Sandra lai from montgomery, alabama, a lot happening at this moment, jonathan. Will be a long day. It is a long day, but both candidates have cast their ballots. You are referencing that new video of moore arriving at the polling site on horseback, a tradition at election time. He did this in alabama and the northern part of the state in birmingham. Doug jones cast his ballot, but he arrived on foot. This is an important time in alabamas history. We feel very confident of where we are and how this will turn out. More importantly, we feel so good about what we have done and what we said to the people of alabama and the people of the United States. Roy moore held a drain the swamp rally in southern alabama where he was joined by louie gohmert, sheriff david clark, and steve bannon. It is an upanddown vote tomorrow. Right . Between the trump miracle in the notification project. Doug jones did some counter programming to answer roy moores rally, he brought in Charles Barkley. Listen, i love alabama, but at some point we have to grow out. We are not a bunch of damn idiots. Theyre actually thinking about voting for this guy. Sandra signing a bill today, clearing the way for a massive increase, lets listen. Demonstrating our unwavering commitment to our men and women in uniform. The greatest fighting force in the history of the world, we are making it a lot better than even that. Before we begin, i want to address the terrorist attack that took place yesterday in new york city, and to praise the first responders, local police, and federal Law Enforcement for their quick action. They did an incredible job. There has not been to terrorist attacks in new york city carried out by foreign nationals. Here on green cards the first attacker came through the visa lottery, and the second through chain migration, we will end both of them. The lottery system and chain migration. We will end them. Fast. Congress must get involved immediately, and they are involved immediately, and i can tell you we have tremendous support. They will be ended. These attacks underscored the dangers we face from around the globe, the National Defense authorization act did not come at a more opportune or important time. This legislation represents a momentous step towards rebuilding our military and securing the future for our children. I applaud the work of the members of both parties who came together to pass the National Defense authorization act. It passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, something that sounds very nice to my ears. I especially want to think thornberry, who is here with his tireless efforts. Fantastic job. In recent years, our military has undergone a series of deep budget cuts that has impacted our readiness, capabilities and substantial burdens placed on our war fighters. Great war fighters they are. History teaches us that when you weaken your defenses, you invite aggression. The best way to prevent conflict of any kind is to be prepared and really be prepared. Only when the good are strong will piece prevail. Today with the signing of this defense bill, we accelerate the process of fully restoring americas military might. I also want to thank senator john mccain for the work he has done on this bill. He has fought very, very hard to make it just the way he wants it and we all want it. This will enhance our readiness, expand our modernized forces and our forces members with the tools they need to fight in win. We will fight and win back, but with this, we will not have to fight, because people will not be wanting to fight with us. It authorizes funding for our continued campaign to obliterate isis, as you know, we won in syria. We won in iraq. They spread to other areas and we are getting them as fast as they spread. Weve had more success with isis in the past eight months then the entire Previous Administration has had during its entire term. It approves Missile Defense capabilities as we continue our campaign to create maximum pressure on the bile dictatorship in north korea. We are working very diligently on that. Building up, very bad situation, the situation that shouldve been handled long before by other administrations. It upgrades our ground come back to vehicles, allows for the purchase of new joint Strike Fighter aircraft and pave the way for new beautiful virginia class submarines, the finest in the world. Finally, the defense bill authorizes investments in our militarys greatest weapon of all, its warriors. The nda increases the size of the American Armed forces for the first time in seven years. It provides our military members with the largest pay increase in eight years. Now Congress Must finish the job by eliminating the defense sequester and passing a clean appropriations bill. I think that is going to happen. We need our military. Its got to be perfecto. A grave global threats, i urge has to stop their shutdown threats and city clean funding in a clean funding bill to my desk that fully funds protecting our country should always be up by a person issue, todays legislation. We must Work Across Party Lines to give our heroic troops the resources and support that they have earned. A thousand times over. Together, we will send a clear message to our allies and affirm warning to our enemies. We are proud, determine, and ready. When we are completed and it will not be that long, we will be stronger than ever before. By a lot. Thank you to all of our friends in congress, and we do appreciate the bipartisan support, and we appreciate your hard work on this historic defense authorization. Thank you most of all to our brave warriors for standing to watch over our country, our families, and our freedom. Brandnew, beautiful equipment are on its way, the best youve ever had by far. We make the best in the world, and youre going to have it. And god bless you, god bless our military, and god bless america, thank you very much. I will not be showing all of this, everybody. It has a lot of pages. That is a lot of pages. [applause] speed to the president signing the National Defense authorization act, a bill that authorizes a major hike in military spending, and exceeds the 54 billion defensee requested by trump for 2018. Marie harf on the couch, what is all this mean . What did the president just signed and what happens from here . Marie he signs and attention, but we do not know the number till we get a budget to the appreciation project, in the coming days and weeks. This is what they had talked about, and this will be a point of contention going forward, nobody wants to cut defense spending, but we have to have a way to pay for it. So far, we have not seen details about that. This will continue to play out over the next coming weeks. Sandra we have a major election happening. And Juan Williams is on the couch. Turnout is going to be key, and not a decisive indication where this race is going. Juan i think there has been lots of turmoil in the last few days, a fox news poll that had dug jones up by 10, but there are other polls that have beaten up. Looks like it is quite fluid. I think the key point here, and we saw this over the weekend in terms of the robocalls from President Trump, president obama, joe biden, and that Charles Barkley the auburn basketball and also in the mba, who gets their folks to the polls is going to be the winner. Who gets their people out. I think this is almost more of a conversation among republicans than republicans versus democrats. You have republicans, especially people like senator shelby who say, i cannot vote for moore. The senior senator from alabama, and a Business Establishment in the state say, it would not be good for business to attract manufacturing if we put someone like moore in office. Harris a question, sandra, the reports on the ground for Election Officials is looking more like a president ial election day. In terms of just how much they have seen early on with the intensity and people coming out to the polls. They still have several hours. We do not know how it will shake out. Its impossible to know who that benefits. The issue is, its not just a special election, but people i attempted to it. Marie normally have very low turnout with all the intense coverage and unique situation of the race, i think youll see much more turnout. There arent enough registered democrats to win just on a turnout game appeared doug jones is going to need republicans to either stay home or crossover. We have seen it. People like senator shelby. The other republicans who have come out and said, i could not do it and vote for ron moore. That will be the interesting deciding factor, and you are right. We do not know who turnout will help. This could go pretty well into the night if i had to guess. Its before it is interesting that shelby said he did not vote for us doug jones. Marie thats a great point. Kennedy we have that duopoly cartel system. To failing parties that no longer serve voters, who give up choices that are too many people unfortunately in alabama, the lesser of two evils. That is the choice they feel they are forced to make, and i think it is fantastic that Richard Shelby wrote in a candidate that he believed in. Vote your conscience. Thats okay. Be a little unorthodox, think outside the ballot box for a second. Harris one thing that is working for roy moore with his messaging, irrespective of the allegations in the Sexual Misconduct allegations are his christian values among those being talked to as they come out of voting. You cap to exit polling, but reporters are asking them time and time again you hear, pointing to those who voted for him, pointing to his christian values the fact of the stuff, i will not even say what one woman said, on the ground, all politics are local. Will that play at chemic do not know. Marie what does it doug jones victory mean . Juan this is not good either way. He has not made that clear. What is clear is that he would caucus with the democrats. He would be under pressure and expected to help a democratic agenda. It is you, democratics i have been apart from much of trumps effort with tax reform. Sandra and roy mort will walk a party line, and the second he gets to exercise that vocal independence, if he is elected today, he will show it. Especially to mitch mcconnell. Juan thats the key point. Harris the last tweet talked about roy moore and how he votes it will be much more in line with the party. Sandra a busy day. Police charging the alleged terrorist who detonated a homemade bomb inside the city subway system in new york city, we will tell you why he reportedly said he did it. Plus, more about how he got into the country. And why the white house proposals would have kept him out, and with the administration is doing now. Yesterdays new york event show in its darkest terms, the failure of our immigration system are also a National Security issue. The president is exactly right. Call attention to these issues. Thats how i thought it had to be. But then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. When certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible. Honey, i am way too whendecadent for you. Aid, i came up with o, thats good comfort soups like broccoli cheddar. With a twist of butternut squash. O. Mmm. Thats good harris moments ago, authorities terrorism charges against the suspect in in a ste terror attack on the new york city subway tuesday system during the rush are. The Bangladeshi National was inspired by the ices. They rated, Rick Leventhal is on the story. Were learning more about the complaints by the Attorneys Office late this morning. Authorities say that akayed ullah admitted building the pipe bomb and intentionally detonating it. He said he did it according to authorities for the islamic state. The complaint said he built the pipe bomb in his brooklyn apartment. Law enforcements sake, he gathered at least some of the material from jobsites where he worked as an electrician. The bomb was filled with explosive material and middle schools and use Christmas Tree lights, wires, and a 9volt battery for detonation, and ullah used zip ties to attach it to his body. The complaint said his radicalization began three years ago in 2014 when he saw pro isis and learn how to build bombs online. He posted on his facebook account yesterday, a message to the president which i hope you can hear over the sirens behind me, the message read, trump you failed to protect your nation. Authorities say you acted alone and was not on the radar of the fbi or the nypd. You people who are consumers of the propaganda and you see these pots unfold and theyre not confiding in anyone and thats what were looking looking at. The conspiracy is within the confines of their own mind. And that is a very hard place to get to. Ullah has five federal charges, support to a terrorist organization, use of weapons of mass destruction, bombing a place of public use, destruction of property by means of explosion, and use of a destructive device during a crime of violence. The investigation into ullahs background continues and so does the heightened security here in new york city. Harris we heard every word, they were hanging on, to quote the suspect, you failed to protect our nation. That what he said . That is what he said. He posted that on facebook. According to authorities yesterday morning on his way here to the Port Authority to set off the pipe bomb. Harris actually, we are very protected yesterday, talking about police and the quick action. Rick leventhal, thank you very much. And china short time ago as well. Jeff sessions and the new secretary of the Homeland Security calling for reform of the u. S. Immigration system after the white house said the presence immigration proposals would have kept the accused newark city terrorist and others out of the country. In just the last two months, we have seen it to terrorist attacks in new york city. Tear down by men who were here as a result of failed immigration policy. The diversity lottery, which makes no sense and its never made no sense, and chain migration. The administration is planning to modify the immigration system to end misguided and outdated visa systems. Instead we need to focus on a meritbased system as the present recommended. Harris you saw class back from the president when he spoke, because he brought this issue. He said, there has been to attackers recently. One came into this country through the visa lottery, and the other yesterday kaman what is called chain migration part he said, we are going to get rid of both of these. Juan it is interesting to me, because we all want to protect our country and do everything we can. In this instance, looks like the president s politicizing it by saying, somehow, immigrants are to blame specifically about chain migration. It is not clear harris ht happened what it is, because there is a chain in which the young men came in. He was able to do that because he was under 21. Juan is not a result of chain migration. That shows how he got here. Everybody gets here somehow. I am saying he was radicalized while here in the United States by internet material. Sandra i dont know if we know that. Law enforcement said that. Kennedy you radicalized here but was making several trips back and forth between the United States theres no way to really know that. That was the statement that they put out. The point is, guys like this are going back and forth. He had a newborn baby back in bangladesh. Harris he was he was under 21. Kennedy its easy to look back and say that, with the gang built which was flawed, and i do not think no bill is perfect. The sort of blanket amnesty. It would have gotten rid of the diversity visas and chain migration. Harris is the president right about the stomach thats the bottom line. Kennedy he has the tightest support and they did have bipartisan support in the gang of eight days. This is very difficult then the travel ban or building a wall. I know people want to lump into the same conversation, but heat you can extract that out, or more people in favor of that kind of immigration policy. Harris thats a great example, the gang of eight. Were people on both sides of the aisle can agree how far away if we move from that . Marie its a different planet. The senate has changed. And on this issue, i think republicans feel like they want to run to the right, because he won a pair chain migration in theory isnt a bad one. Keeping families together. Harris harris do not tat breaking up a nuclear family. Its how far that change should go. Should go can we keep these programs and vet better . Or should be say, get rid of them can make spirit republicans that. Juan let me ask you this. If they were chain migrations for countries part of the travel ban, it was not necessarily the travel ban, but if you had countries where you hinted that, would you be in favor . Harris you have to get to those capitol hill, because as a compromise. Juan if it is pro
