it's called the space force. think of that. te a brand-new american military service at such a momentous -- that's such a momentous statement. it's a big moment and we're all here for it. space, going to be a lot of things happening in space. of course, space is the world's newest war-fighting domain. amid grave threats to our national security, american superiority in space is absolutely vital. >> pete said it. it's been mocked for it but it's interesting because china is big in space and this is -- it's looking down the road at some of the threats. >> i keep thinking to myself, what an exciting time to be here right now. it's been over 70 years since the creation of a new element of a new force and i think we should call them space soldiers. >> space soldiers. >> i think so. >> how about super troopers? whatever you call them, they'll have a cool name. satellites, communications, global positioning systems, all the things we use on the modern battlefield are predicated on space. if you don't control that and someone else is we

right: space force's headquarters will be in... existing office space! ( cheers and applause ) now, the reason house democrats gave trump his space force is because the bill that established space force also contains their futuristic dream project: paid parental leave for federal workers. that is great. hell, yeah, that is really get. i'm not surprised trump agreed to that. ( as trump ) "makes sense. when things get parental, i always leave." but trump's not just getting cool space toys this holiday season. he's also doing some giving. this week, we learned "he paid $2 million to eight charities." that's a generous gift that came straight from the heart of the new york court system. because trump only gave a dime because he was ordered by a judge who found the president had illegally used funds from his supposed charity, the donald j. trump foundation. this is an exciting modern twis >> audience: booo! >> yi agree. this is an exciting modern twist on the ending to "a christmas carol."

and yes space force base force but friends advocate and political consultant rory wiley topic and then bernie sanders he's adding an otherworldly element to the action to be watchable. same wrong but all wrong just don't call. me that he's yet to shape out his day become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. same hammer i can use to smash someone's head is the same hammer i can use to build them a home but that's a human choosing what to do with that that's me expressing my values for the tool and that's what we need to do with artificial intelligence as well. as it is is a stick for the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're the bad ones they're the litter bugs are trying this way industry shouldn't be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. and may look at suitable sets for some new place to. stay at a special projects fund

of space forces the 1st new military service in the u.s. in 7 decades it will be made up of about $16000.00 air force and civilian personnel and initial funding is around $40000000.00 but that figure is expected to grow to several 1000000000 in the future its mission is to protect u.s. assets such as satellites used for communication and surveillance but sara flounders from the antiwar international action center says it's more about washington weapon i think space. here is really a star wars on steroids you could say that's being proposed by. president trump in this new legislation he part of the largest u.s. military budget and when you look at trump statements it's not only to place weapons in space in his to domineer. this is a direct threat and so dangerous act there is an escalation and deliberate intentional escalation of threats against china a new enemy has created a new threat when you could compare the militarization of space in the 800 u.s. bases around the world no one country house auction going to the aircraft carriers or glow

space force is a delibere act threat to peace and security.est singles where we have and what nasa's may be doing is the right thing. and donald trump is taking a very proactivedo messenger here. >> absolutely, nasa is not necessarily the space force, we do science. he is what we need to, we need to make sure that space is secure and we are building an economy in space that's going to produce a trillions of dollars and already a $400 billion economy for the united states of america.ar it's growing rapidly, and just like -- if you look at president teddy roosevelt, he created the great white fleet. he created the most powerful navy ever to protect the comments on the sea. -- commerce on the seas. president trump is doing the same thing. this is the expert for the united states of america and it must be protected. >> jason: administrator, i really appreciate it. i would thank you by the way for your military service and you come from your military of the rich heritage and the people that used to represent congress, and we are proud of you servin

the full plan for space force is being developed.s the first chief of space operations for space force. he will carry out his duties under the authority and direction of the secretary of the air force. the creation of the space force is not only historic but vital as officials fear china and russia continued to pose a threat to american satellite in space technology. >>> grave threats to our national security american superiority in space is absolutely vital. we are leading but we are not leading by another. very shortly we will be leading by a lot.>> reporter: the first year it is expected to employ only 200 people. the number is expected to grow significantly. the pentagon is still deciding where it will be hit quarter. speculation it will be based in either in huntsville alabama or colorado springs. the operation will become essential in the defense community.>>> will be moving more importance into the space domain. more missions for our space satellites. we have to protect him. we have to design new satellites that can hide or ja

space boars at the signings. depends mark. we are at the dawn of a new era for nation's armed forces space has become so important to our way of life our economy and our national security that we must be prepared as a nation to protect it from hostile actions. i wonder if the guy who was starship troopers not one too many times and always chewed at the end not really getting it probably was earlier i was joined by veterans advocate and political consultant laurie riley topping and i asked her what in the bill jumps out to her now that it has been signed into existence. well i think it's important to note that the legislation is almost 3500 pages long and even though we've had some time to digest it as you just said the members who voted on it only had 19 hours from the time that it was finalized to the time that they voted on it so i'm not sure that our congressional members know entirely everything that they're voting on there some of the things that jumped out as you noted is the funding of the space force i think that that remains a questionable concepts to have a successful branch of the military that's one of the main thi

setting up a new sixth branch of the military, army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, and now space force. the order goes into effect when the president signed the $738 billion defense authorization bill tonight. >> maybe we need a new force, a space force. >> started up as a way to fire up the rallies, president trump's refrain became a punchline for late-night comics. it's about to become a reality. >> so i'll be able to tell my kids some day and everybody else, see that space force, that was my baby. >> its headquarters won't be announced until next year with huntsville, alabama and colorado springses vying for the honor and increased federal funding, $2 billion over the next five years, and 16,000 personnel, mostly pulled from the air force, which already has an air force space command in colorado. critics say the expanding bureaucracy is redundant. president ronald reagan first set up space command in 1985. it was ended in 2002 when the focus shifted to the war on terror. the new military branch will focus on protecting the more than 900 u.s. satellites needed to communicate, 31 of w

it's called the space force.portantly, we are supporting you, the heroes who defend our families, secure our nation, and protect our freedom. the 2020 national defense act is about making sure that our war fighters have the tools and resources, and equipment you need to fight and to win, all the time to win. we are making our military stronger and more powerful than ever before. we are joined today by secretary of defense mark esper, their service secretaries general mark milley. thank you very much, general. fantastic job you're doing. members of the joint chief of staff. many distinguished military leaders and representatives. mac thornberry, joe wilson, mike rogers, michael turner, michael mccaul, robert whitman, french hill, matt gaetz, greg pence, and michael waltz. and i want to give a special shout out to a ver rich allemand senator jim and off we worked so hard this. thank you. thank you all. i want to extend a special thanks to commander of the air force, district of washington, major general ricky rupp.

military to be called space force, part of the air force like the marine corps is part of the navy. ina and russia are endangering military satellites in space. we know the importance of space as a war fighting realm, but talk to us why it's important to have a separate organization created, why the air force doesn't have the resources or commitment to get it done. rep. thornberry: i think the place to start is the importance of space for our daily lives as americans. one of the examples i use is every time you fill up your car to pay at the pump, the pump connects to a satellite to verify your credit card before it will let you put gas into the car. every transaction on the new york stock exchange is timed to the gps satellites. you go through example after example of how our economy and our daily life is dependent upon space. as you point out, adversaries such as russia and china have made incredible progress, partly because they know we are dependent upon space, they want to have the means to deny us the use of space. that's what makes space now a war fighting domain. a lot of fol

and yes space force base force bedrooms advocate and political consultant laurie wiley topic and then bernie sanders he's adding another worldly element to election platform state to the watchable. what politicians do you shouldn't. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more so more want to be rich. and should like to be close as you like them before 3 of them or can't be that good . i'm interested always in the waters of my knowledge. there should. be others seem to like the look in the room light of them so little in. my limited role more than i was for this to die in prison by the explosion love my life. take a stick grab some media attention i mean it's a shooting in a 16 year olds to 16 birthday party south side and the police just held a lot of pressure chill close to kids. for years. just don't it's like i couldn't believe those around. me out so far that are all for the shorter one basically are with is that all of the issues because i will stay right next to. me for this because you guys keep in mind for the delia's 1617 i

its own russian space force.hina undertook major institutional changes to bring about the force which is responsible for china's efforts in space, cyberspace, and electronic warfare. so bringing the two together, very combined effect on future warfare. so i think say number of different countries that have done this ought to be -- and i don't think it should be a surprise to anybody that the u.s. is going to do this. and secondly, the other important aspect is is that this is more about bringing together, a lot more integration of different functions to bring about the different agencies. the space force is really not a fighting force as of now. we're not seeing a specialized special agencies as combat forces. they are more in terms of bringing about better coordination, better integration. but we need to clearly take stems to avoid the trend towards it, so we do not end up actually having a combat situation in outer space. >> you describe it in logical terms. but there is as we saw in the last space race, that p

united states newly formed space forces causing concern in china that it sees the new military unit as a direct threat to. move all of the relevant u.s. actions are a serious violation of the international consensus on the peaceful use of outer space undermined global strategic balance instability and pose a direct threat to our to space peace and security we are deeply concerned about it and resolutely opposed to it the outerspace security did the u.s. seeks is the security for itself only a. lot of things happening in space. great space is the world's newest we're fighting the space tourist will help us deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground of the space forces the 1st new military service in the united states in 7 decades it will be made up of about $16000.00 forces and civilian personnel and initial funding is expected to be around $40000000.00 but that figure is expected to grow to several 1000000000 in the future its mission is to protect u.s. assets such as satellites used for communication and surveillance but sara flounders from the antiwar international action

so initially, the space force is going to be dependent somewhat on the air force, in terms of personnelg, training, etc. and that's a good thing because that will keep the costs down, and i think as we go grow the space force, we'll see the numbers of people in it, it will not be manpower intensive like the army and the marine corps. it will be very equipment and technology intensive, as it is currently is now. but i think people are going to be excited to be a part of this. it is going to capture their imagination to be a member of the united states space force. i think they will be proud to be associated with it, just as members are proud to be associated with the other services, but the fact that it's new and kind of a new shiny object i think is going to draw quite a bit of attention from young people in america -- molly: that's what i imagine as well, just thinking back to my childhood. you know, space has always been a peace-building frontier, over the course of many years. we will see if there's some element in there where we're still cooperating with some of these nations. i do

military to be called space force, part of the air force like the marine corps is part of the navy. china and russia are endangering military satellites in space. we know the importance of space as a war fighting realm, but talk to us why it's important to have a separate organization created, why the air force

military to be called space force, part of the air force like the marine corps is part of the navy.

what do we know about this space force? >> reporter: that's right, president trump this week signing a massive defensive spending bill that authorized the creation of the space force, something that the white house is touting as a historic step. it's the first new branch of service created since 1947. take a listen to what cnn military analyst said about the future of combat in outer space. >> what they call a domain of warfare, that means an area in which we're going to be moving troops, we're going to engage the enemy in space, the chinese and the russians have developed anti-satellite capabilities. we have to watch out for what they and other rivals are going to be doing in space. >> reporter: air force officials say as many as 15,000 personnel from the air force could be reassigned to the space force, so this is something that president trump has loved talking about, this massive spending bill authorizing pentagon funding through the next year, created space force. >> sarah westwood for us there in west palm beach. than

forces. i want to thank the president for the leadership of this historic initiative. which will pastor us to effectively defend our national interest in space. the last time we developed a new branch of the military it was over 70 years ago when we separated the air corps from the army in 1947, creating the united states air force. back then we saw how power had air power had expanded during world war ii and we recognize the need for a single service to focus on the air domain. similarly, reliance on space based capability has grown, and today it has evolved into a domain of its own. maintaining american dominance is now the mission of the space force. the president will announce the official establishment later today when he signs this and we will provide additional details on the implementation and timeline. ndaa also authorizes a 3% increase in pay through our service members, the largest in a decade. this is a well-deserved pay raise for the men and women of the military who continue to make sacrifices for the nation. it will also help to recruit the country's best talent. additionally, there are a number of important provisions directe

so the space force is the 1st new military service in the u.s. in 7 decades it could be made up our own $16000.00 air force and civilian personnel initial funding 040000000 dollars well that figure is expected to grow to several 1000000000 in the future its mission is to protect u.s. assets such as satellites use of a communication surveillance on the face of the only way but sort of flow this will be antiwar international action center claims it's more about washington weaponize ing space here isn't really a star wars on steroids you could say that's being proposed by. president trump in this new legislation the part of the margin of u.s. military budget and when you look at trance state ments it's not only to place weapons in space in is to dominate. this is a direct threat and so dangerous act there is an escalation a deliberate intentional as culmination of a threat against china a new enemy has created a new threat when you could compare the nations in the 800 us bases around the world no one country has such an end to the aircraft carriers o

shannon: the space force story is big news for the white house, the president announcing a 6 the branch of the military, the first in 70 years but this includes more spending so let's listen. >> with my signature today, you will witness the birth of the space force. this bill authorizes nearly 100 new at 35s. i honor my commitment, paid parental leave. we are giving every soldier, sailor, airman, coast guardsman and marine a well-earned payraise. shannon: its head quarters won't be announced until next year but $2 million allocated for five years and $6000 in personnel mostly from the air force, the air force space command in colorado. critics say the bureaucracy is just expanding. donald trump signing $1.4 trillion government funding bill before midnight's deadline. a day before house democrats impeach the president. include spending on border securities and obamacare funding and it will lead $500 billion to deficits over the next decade. a major christian publication says the president has to go. will evangelical support waiver? ! for a limited time, get a 4-course meal starting at $1

now we have the space force. this is a win for the president. one of his top military priorities.s biggest applause lines at rallies across the country. he is quick to point to it and 2020 as an example of promises made and promises kept. >> shannon: kristin fisher, thank you. hours away from the house impeachment vote. it's go time for the democratic lawmakers who represent districts president trump won back in 2016. are they following in-line with party leadership or something else? correspondent garrett tenney truck in the lawmakers. good evening. >> for a lot of lawmakers this is the vote will be most remembered for and four to 31 democrats represent districts, president trump won, it's politically risky vote which could ultimately be one of the last bears >> ahead of the votes, all eyes have been on the democrats from districts president trump won, but since sunday more than two dozen of those lawmakers have announced they will vote to impeach the p. among those are some of the most vulnerable democrats including kendra horn who won her seat by a point last year. she flipped
