12:02 pm
congresswoman. thank you, martha. thank you for being here. [applause] thank you very much. thank you all for fighting for our military and for fighting for our vets. nobody has made more progress on anything than what we've done with our vets. we have choice now. we have so many other things approved for our vets and moving along well. i think almost as important as choice is accountability. now when we find somebody not treating our vets properly, you know what we say, right? you're out. get out. you're fired. get out. they couldn't do that. now they can do it. [applause] now they have to treat our vets properly. our vets are our great people. they get treated properly. so you have choice and accountability and nobody thought that that would ever get approved. they've been trying for my decades. finally, i want to thank a special group of patriots at
12:03 pm
ft. drum. all of the amazing spouses and family members whose love and support make your service possible, whether you like it or not, they make it possible. please, thank you. thank you very much. [applause] they know. they know, right? look at them. smiling. they know. last year we secured a historic $700 billion to rebuild our military. now the national defense authorization act paves the way for another -- listen to this now. so we've been trying to get money. they never gave us money for the military for years and years. it was depleted. we got $700 billion. next year already approved, we have $716 billion to give you the finest planes and ships and
12:04 pm
tanks and missiles anywhere on earth. nobody makes them like we do. very, very far distance in this case. jobs are important in all cases. in this case, the military might is more important than even jobs. but all of this equipment is made right here in the u.s.a. and it's the best equipment on earth. nobody makes it like we do. you have $700 billion. now $716 billion. congratulations. [applause] american is a peaceful nation. if conflict is forced upon us, we will fight and we will win. right, general? right? right? [applause] better believe it, generals. they're the guys. we're powered by the unstoppable force of the united states army.
12:05 pm
very special. for the new authorization, we will increase the size and strength of our military by adding thousands of new recruits to active duty, reserve and national guard units, including 4,000 new active duty soldiers. and we will replace aging tanks, aging planes and ships with the most advanced and lethal technology ever developed, and hopefully we'll be so strong that we'll never have to use it. if we ever did, nobody has a chance. it all includes 135 brand new beautiful m-1 abrams tanks, 60 bradley fighting vehicles and over 3,000 joint life tactical vehicles for the army armored brigade combat team.
12:06 pm
new blackhawk and apache helicopters, fine nest the world, for the army national guard, 77 f-35 joint strike fighters. you know, stealth. i talked to a couple great pilots. i said how are they? they said they're hard to beat. you can't see them. always hard to beat the enemy when you can't see it. the greatest in the world. full funding for the b-21 raider bomber program, 13 new battle force ships and support ships including a fourth four-class aircraft carrier and three additional lateral combat ships. funding to modernize our nuclear arsenal. so important. we're doing a major upgrade of our missile defense. we're spending a tremendous amount of money on our nuclear arsenal. nobody will have close.
12:07 pm
we will hopefully never ever have to use it. but nobody will be close. more than $11 billion for the military construction, including family housing. we're proudly giving our troops the biggest pay increase in a decade. i know you don't want it because you're very patriotic. you'll say pay the money, we'll pay down debt. nobody not want it? raise your hand. what's going on here? are these real patriots? i don't know, general. the biggest increase in a decade. a strong military also requires a strong economy and our economy is setting records like never before. we have the greatest economy we've ever had. i think that's going to help us a lot, in a lot of ways. also helps us a lot in funding, doing all of the things we're doing for our great military.
12:08 pm
we created almost four million new jobs since the election. a number that the media in the back would never have said would be possible, if during the campaign. [applause] i'm so proud of myself. i didn't call them the fake news media. i didn't call them. i said to myself, i will not today in front of our great armed forces call them fake news. we know the truth but we won't see it today. they wouldn't have believe it possible, four million new jobs. nobody would have thought that possible on the campaign trail. if we were campaigning, mike, if i would have said that, if i would have said two million new jobs, people would have laughed us off the stage. we have four million new jobs. something i'm very proud of, the african american-hispanic
12:09 pm
american and asian american. the unemployment rates for all three have reached the lowest levels in the history of our country. unemployment for african american, hispanic, asians. the lowest level in the history of our country. [applause] women's unemployment, i'm sorry, is not doing as well. it's only the lowest level in 65 years. so we're not doing as well. [applause] but we'll do better. i think within about three weeks when the new numbers comes out, you'll probably be lowest in history also. the veterans unemployment rate recently reached their lowest level in 20 years. a big one. [applause]
12:10 pm
and we are creating manufacturing jobs again. remember, during the campaign they said you can't create manufacturing jobs. i said really? we're not going to make things anymore? we're going to have other countries make things and we're going to buy them and they have the jobs and we're not? doesn't work that way. we're doing manufacturing jobs at the fastest pace in many, many decades. no longer are we apologizing for america. instead, we're now standing up for america. it's called "america first" if that's okay with you. [cheers & applause] we're standing up for our military and we're standing up for our great american flag. we're standing for our flag. [applause] the armed forces have endured
12:11 pm
continuous combat for the past 17 years, yet since the 1990s, the number of soldiers on active duty was cut by more than a 1/3. our bases and vital equipment were allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. i saw some of them, total disrepair. those days are over. every day the army is fighting for us. now we are fighting for you. 100%. [applause] no one better understands how stretched our military has become than the soldiers of the tenth mountain division. is that right, general? you were the first conventional combat force to deploy after 9-11. since then, no division in the army has been deplored more times to iraq and afghanistan than you. you sent over 9,000 courageous
12:12 pm
soldiers to 26 different countries all around the world in the past year alone. the second brigade combat team just returned from a rotation at the joint readiness training center. later this year, they will once again bravely answer our nation's call and deploy to afghanistan. through it all, you have proven to the world, to our country, to your families that ft. drum soldiers aren't just tough. you're mountain tough. that's what you are. [applause] i said to you, general, what is the difference? he said, sir, trust me, there's a difference. i said i trust you. right? i said don't go into it. i trust you. one of those soldiers is
12:13 pm
specialist braden cook who is with us today. where is braden? braden, good location. very good. [applause] last october, his team came under heavy fire while cleaning and clearing. clearing out taliban strong holds in various locations in afghanistan. an afghan soldier fighting alongside u.s. troops was badly wounded when an explosive detonated nearby. specialist cook braved hail of bullets and mortar rounds all over. they said it was all over. it was heavy fire. saving the life of that wounded soldier and earning a bronze star for valor for his courageous action. braden, i want to thank you. brave young man. thank you. please stand up again, braden. [applause]
12:14 pm
we're also inspired by the devotion to duty shown by family members that served their nation here at home. ashley shepherd is one of those family members. she's been married through sergeant first class ian shepherd for more than 14 years. ashley supports military families in every way you can imagine. she's served as a family readiness group leader, co-leader, treasurer and assistant treasurer for three companies. she works hard. she raises money for scholarships, organizes charity events for gold star families and feeds homeless veterans. ashley, i want to thank you. where is ashley? i had a feeling that was you.
12:15 pm
stand up, ashley. [applause] thank your husband, too. thank you. america is eternally grateful for every soldier, service member and family member here at ft. drum. we're forever in the debt of every american who has ever served our nation in uniform. from the snows of valley forge to the jungles of vietnam and the mountains of afghanistan, it's just incredible what you do. a few days ago, vice president pence flew to hawaii to greet the remains of our nation's greatest heros. our fallen warriors that gave their lives many years ago in korea. now these american heros with finally starting to come home. they will be laid to rest on american soil.
12:16 pm
we believe in no american left behind. [applause] and we believe our war fighters deserve the tools, the equipment and resources they have earned with their blood, sweat and tears. if a few moments, in honor of that sacred obligation, i will put my signature on the national defense authorization act. this authorization will give america's war fighters the firepower they need to win any conflict quickly and decisively. thanks to the leadership of representative stefanik, we're making an unprecedented commitment to developing our artificial intelligence capabilities in order to maintain america's military
12:17 pm
supremacy, we must always be on the cutting edge. that is why we are all so proudly reasserting america's lega leadership in space. our competitors have begun weaponizing space. developing new technologies to disrupt vital communications, blind satellites and just -- look at what they're doing, they have given me run-downs. i've seen things that you don't want to see what they're doing and how advance they are. we'll be catching them very shortly. they want to jam transmissions which threaten our battlefield operations and so many other things. we will be so far ahead of them in a very short time, your head will spin. china even launched a new military division to oversee its war fighting programs in space. just like the air, the land, the
12:18 pm
sea, space has become a war-fighting domain. it's not enough to merely have an american presence in space. we must have american dominance in space. that is why just a few days ago the vice president outlined my administration's plan to create a sixth branch of the united states military called the united states space force. [applause] got to get it, joe. right, joe? we will ensure that the next great chapter in history is written by the heros of the united states military. america will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger because we are backed by the strength and power
12:19 pm
of the american soldier. speaking to his troops, general george patton, a great one, once said, where's "we have the finest equipment on earth and the best men in the world." if it were today, he would be saying the best men and women in the world. things do change. that was quite a statement many years ago. continuing his remarks, patton then declared "i don't want to get any messages saying i'm holding my position". we're not holding a damn thing. we're advancing constantly. that was patton. nearly 75 years later, patton's words still ring true. america has the best equipment anywhere in the world. we have the best spirit, the best soldiers ever to set foot on any battled field anywhere at any time. we're the most powerful. we're the best funded. we're the biggest.
12:20 pm
we're the strongest. we're the smartest. we are still not holding a damn thing because america is on the move once again. we're not backing down. our country is respected again. i don't know if you see it, but america is respected again. it's a big difference and a big difference in the air. you take a look around. there's a big, beautiful difference. we're advancing forward with our confidence renewed, our might restored and the unwavering conviction that our destiny is our victory. america's future is safe, sound and brighter than ever. because each of you is mountain tough, mountain proud and mountain strong and always will be climbing to glory. you will be climbing to glory. thank you again for the incredible men and women of
12:21 pm
ft. drum. special, special great people. god bless our troops, god bless the united states of america. i'd now like to invite a few of our fantastic soldiers from the tenth mountain division to join me on stage to sign the national defense authorization act. it's been an honor to be with you today. thank you very much. thank you. [cheers & applause] [applause]
12:22 pm
[cheers & applause] thank you very much, everybody. a great honor. thank you. >> shepard: president trump just wrapping up a speech to the good folks, men and women at ft. drum upstate in new york and signing
12:23 pm
the defense authorization bill bearing john mccain's name. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. tell us about the bill, jennifer. >> shepard, what is interesting, we've had several years of budget cuts, budget caps. this defense bill does more than any other bill to reverse that. the president very proudly stated that he wants more planes, more ships. he's going to reverse the readiness problem that after 17 years of constant war has plagued the military. this is the earliest a president has signed the annual defense authorization bill into law since 1977. puts the trump administration on track to appropriate a defense budget without a continuing resolution for the first time in a decade. that is a huge relief to pentagon planners who say the budget process until now has led to huge amounts of waste here in the pentagon. the $716 billion defense bill
12:24 pm
authorizes billions to rebuild military equipment, it will address the readiness issues, includes a pay raise. 2.6% for troops. the largest in nine years. a new aircraft carrier, 13 new battleships, two virginia class submarines, 250 million for expanding the submarine industrial base, 77 f-35 fifth generation joint strike fighters, funding to develop low yield nuclear weapons. according to the chairman of the house armed services committee, the increased funding sends a strong message to russia and china confounding trump critics that say he's not doing enough to stop russian aggression, shep. >> shepard: jennifer, if you could, tell us how it pushes back against russia. >> all of that equipment is being procured not to fight terrorists as most of the wars have been fought, focusing on
12:25 pm
counter terrorism but to get back to great power competition with an eye to russian and china in particular. here's some examples. the bill requires the president to designate a national security council employee to coordinate the interagency fight against maligned foreign influence operations including election interference. that is a direct response to russian interference in the last election. it includes $6.3 billion to re-assure u.s. partners and allies and increase the u.s. military presence in europe. it bars military to military cooperation with russia, even if the president were to order the u.s. military to cooperate with the russian military in syria. it bars that. it ties the hands of the president in recognizing russia's annexation of crimea. there's literally dozens of provisions that target russian aggression specifically. it's spelled out in a way that i have not seen before, shepard.
12:26 pm
>> shepard: jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thanks so much. we were waiting to see whether the president might say anything about some of the other headlines of the day. he did not. we'll get into them now. starting with agent peter strzok, fired from his job at the fbi. peter strzok is the agent that sent anti-trump text messages and others during the 2016 presidential election to his then lover and former fbi lawyer, lisa page. peter strzok worked on hillary clinton's e-mail investigation and later the special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. once word of the text messages got out, mueller immediately removed him from his team. president trump has repeatedly slammed peter strzok on twitter pointing to the agent as a reason not to trust what he calls "the rigged witch hunt investigation." during a congressional hearing last month, peter strzok argued there was no evidence of any bias in his professional actions. the chief intelligence
12:27 pm
correspondent catherine herridge live. what is the response from the strzok team? >> we got a statement earlier from strzok's attorney. he confirmed details about his client's termination. he said strzok was fired friday afternoon by the deputy director of the fbi and the attorney alleged that the deputy director overruled the recommendation of the fbi's internal ethics panel that had recommended a 60-day suspension and further demotion of agent strzok. part of the statement reads "the decision to fire special agent strzok is not only a departure from practice, but assurances that the fbi intended to follow this process. this decision should be deeply troubling to all americans." it's important to note that at the access security forum in
12:28 pm
july, the fbi director said he felt the bureau got into trouble under director comey because they were not following procedures and processes to the letter. let's listen. >> there's a pending personnel matter. as i said, i want to make sure we're following our process, doing things by the book. our inspector general report has referred a number of individuals to our disciplinary process. i think it's very, very important that we let that process without delay work itself through and get the results as opposed to responding to hugh and cry. >> we heard from one analyst today that suggested. so this is their analysis, that the fbi fired peter strzok because more information may come to light that suggested there will be further action in his case. the deputy director andrew mccabe was fired for lying to federal agents about his media
12:29 pm
contacts in 2016 and that could lead to a criminal prosecution. they must have turned up the fountain, shep, just for our hit. >> shepard: very nice of them. regarding this, what is the reaction across the district? >> okay. the fbi has declined to comment on strzok's termination. that's standard. they do not comment on personnel matters. as you would expect, the president took to twitter within an hour after this information was confirmed. agent strzok was said to be fired because of the hillary clinton investigation and a total fraud on the american public and should be properly redone. the president is making this connection between strzok on the e-mail case and strzok on the russia case saying they ought to relook at the work he dried back in 2015 and 2016, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge,

>> shepard: the prosecution is about to rest. the special counsel's lawyers are expected to wrap up their arguments against the president's former campaign chairman, paul manafort. that is expected to happen today. a short time ago, robert mueller's team called one of their last witnesses to the stand. that witness, a vice president at a bank, where the feds say paul manafort got $16 million in loans. he is accused of running a multimillion dollar scheme to
12:36 pm
evade taxes. we have not gotten a lot on witnesses and evidence but we'll let you know. a former reality show contestant that worked in the white house said she secretly recorded a reality show host that is now the president. that is the state of things this monday afternoon. president trump's former adviser, omarosa playing a recording of a private phone call on national television this morning. she says it's a conversation between the president and her and that it shows the president claimed that he didn't know his chief of staff, john kelly, had fired her. >> omarosa, what is going on? i saw on the news that you're thinking about leaving. what happened? >> general kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave. >> no, nobody told me about it. nobody -- they run a big operation. i didn't know it. i didn't know that. >> yeah. >> dammit. i don't love you leaving at all. >> that from nbc this morning.
12:37 pm
omarosa also said that president trump has no clue what is going on in the white house. she already released another recording of john kelly firing her. she says she secretly recorded that in the white house situation room, a room where digital devices are not allowed and supposed to be among the secure places on the planet. she's promoting a new build built as a tell-all calling him a con and a racist that is mentally declined. the president fired back in a statement and said "wacky omarosa that got fired three times on "the apprentice" now got fired for the last time. she begged me for a job, tears in her eyes. i said okay. people in the white house hated her. she was vicious but not smart. i would rarely see her, but heard really bad things. nasty to people and would
12:38 pm
constantly miss meetings and work. when generally kelly came on board he said she was a loser and nothing but problems. i told him to try to work it out because she said great things about me until she got fired." now real questions do remain. for instance, those of security when it comes to the situation room. what a scorned former friend might do next. trace gallagher with more on this. he's live with us this afternoon. trace? >> shep, this could be the tip of the iceberg. omarosa said she had multiple tapes at the white house and she did it for her own protection and decided if she will release them publicly. so far, she's pulled very few punches. she claims without citing any evidence that she heard a tape of trump using the n word of nbc's "the apprentice". most experts say they violate
12:39 pm
national security violation and would never be granted a security clearance. legal experts are torn on whether she broke the law. as for omarosa, she said she's not worried about the fall out. watch. >> there's a lot of very corrupt things happening in the white house and i am going to blow the whistle on a lot of this. >> are you concerned at all about any legal consequences for taping -- >> no. >> he doesn't know what is happening in his white house. general kelly, john kelly, is running this white house and donald trump has no clue what is going on. his being puppeted. it's very dangerous for this nation. >> in response to that today show interview, the president tweeted while it's not presidential to take on low lives like omarosa and while i would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and i know the fake news media will be working overtime to make even wacky omarosa look legitimate as possible. sorry. the president says omarosa signed a nondisclosure
12:40 pm
agreement. omarosa said she never signed it. shep? >> shepard: thanks, trace. remember last year president trump invited harley-davidson executives to the white house? the president talked up their work, predicted the company would grow in the united states. >> thank you, harley-davidson for building things in america. i think you'll even expand. i know your business is now doing very well. >> shepard: as cavuto might say, that was then, this is now. the president tweeted now many harley-davidson owners would boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. a really bad move. the u.s. will soon have a level playing field or better. back in march, president trump announced plans to hit european countries with steel and aluminum tariffs. e.u. leaders retaliated. harley-davidson reported that
12:41 pm
the company would lose about $100 million each year. so they announced plans to move production out of the united states. return to john bussey for the "wall street journal." he's also a fox news contributor and happens to work in madrid for an extended period. so harley, there's problems. >> yeah. this is the law of unintended consequences. this isn't what the president wanted to have happen. on the other hand, he's facing similar problems from harley from other parts of american industry that has been hurt by the tariffs. agriculture farmers and agriculture businesses hurt by tariffs that china put on their goods as a result of the tariffs on chinese products from the steel companies, aluminum companies, particularly in the u.s., some of whom get their products, components for their products or supplies from canada and they're seeing prices go up.
12:42 pm
so the president is contending with a lot of input from business that session the tariffs are having unintended consequences, harley-davidson is the latest, some of this may have been intended anyway. they may have started building motorcycles abroad. they've been doing so for years in brazil. some of this may have been in the works. they're given good cover to shift even more broad by a result of the tariffs. >> shepard: many are aware that the second largest military in all of nato behind the united states is turkey. there's big problems with turkey with its government, with the way it's treating its people, with its money especially and tariffs as well. john, what are we seeing here? do we know yet as relates to turkey? >> yeah, it looks like so far that this is a circumstance that is primarily a turkish one.
12:43 pm
it's not for all emerging markets. there's concern what is happening in turkey. the value of the lira dropping significantly because the country has a lot of debt. that's denominated in foreign currencies. when the cost of servicing the debt goes up, the currency plummeted as a result, this happened over seas in earlier years. 1994, the peso. 98, the russian financial crisis and in years subsequent to that. turkey so far seems to be its own problem because it has a disproportionate amount of dealt abroad and political turmoil in turkey. you never just know. you never know what the knock-on effects will be. banks in spain have been damaged by this because they have loans out to turkey. u.s. consumers have to watch what operations are in turkey and in the u.s. and whether or not their stock prices are hurt
12:44 pm
as well. >> shepard: the "wall street journal" has been covering the decline in the situation in turkey. for thousands of turkish citizens that are locked up for political reasons, this may appear to be a crisis raging out of control. >> yeah, that and the u.s. has made it sort of one of their own political initiatives. there's an american there that was locked up in the course of this political tumult in turkey. the president wants him out of jail. as a result of a lot of things including drop in the value of the lira, he will significantly increase the tariffs that have been put on turkish steel and aluminum. turkey says this is economic warfare. the biggest significance of this is what are nations going to think when the u.s. does use tariffs for political purposes? what are countries going to say about doing business in the united states or doing business with the united states if it
12:45 pm
can't rely on fair market rule of law to govern that business? >> shepard: john bussey from wall stre"wall street journal." thank you. how did an airline worker steal a plane before crashing it in washington state? okay we need to get
