in 2006 alabama passed its chemical endangerment of a child wrong. the architects of the law intended for it to protect children from homes where drugs were being made. but prosecutors and judges effectively turned it into a fetal personhood law. individual prosecutors thought i'm going to use that law as a mechanism for responding to pregnant women who use drugs. the state supreme court a ballot bama whose chief justice is deeply anti-abortion ruled that the law could apply to the unborn in the womb and once that law was upheld hundreds of women have since then been arrested based on the fact that they used any amount of any controlled substance and including ones that their physicians have legitimately appropriately prescribed to them. katie spent 8 days in jail her family says the case cost them more than $10000.00. other than her have an epilepsy she had a healthy pregnancy she had never been arrested she had never been in trouble. i think that we're the lucky ones. because we was able to get katie's case dismissed with a lot of work and a lot of

- >> alabama. >> alabama, so he won that state by double digits. that's what he was going to get. this is a sick desire for his need to be adored and it's just sad. when sophia was talking about the whistle-blower these republicans should be ashamed of themselves this. is not about corruption and this is not about corruption in ukraine. we already know that the president's intent was corrupt. why? because the congress passed this military aid in september of last year. they go through and investigative process mandated by statute to make sure the ukraine is in fact living up to their anti-corruption mantra which they've been trying to do. the pentagon determined after that investigation that, yes, ukraine was worthy of having this military aid released in may. so this nonsense about that it was all about worrying about corruption is bs because we -- our government already did its due diligence to make sure ukraine was worthy of getting that military aid. the president held it up because he wanted dirt on biden. >> but the bottom line here, i think

the former new york mayor has filed paperwork to get on alabama's democratic primary ballot. however, bloomberg's advisor tells cnn that the candidate does not plan on running in the first four early contests. lynn sweet and david swerdlick are back with me. so, lynn, you first. what do you make of this timing of bloomberg's decision to at least file for the paperwork in alabama, but then his office saying he's not competing in the early state primaries? >> well, some of this is just -- has to do with the timing of the state of alabama where you have to file your papers now in order to get on the ballot. so bloomberg had to show his hand in order to give himself options down the road. and what this means by skipping the first four primary and caucus states is that a big gamble has become even bigger because this will let bloomberg pursue perhaps a narrow path to being the nominee, but it puts him out of the main battle and out of the main discussion with the other nominees, where he could maybe use the experience of finding his place. he is a big-city mayor, and i would think

we're going to alabama. we're going to watch the alabama game versus lsu, two great teams. i think it's going to be very interesting. and on monday, we have a very big parade in new york, so that will be good. have a good time. strongest economy we've ever had, number one. thank you. >> reporter: so, i asked the president if hunter biden should testify. he did not respond to that question as he walked away from us and waited for the first lady to emerge from the white house, and they headed off. so, the president just giving us some of his top-of-mind thoughts but not taking questions today. alex? >> kelly o'donnell, thank you so much, from the white house. joining me now, karine jean-pier jean-pierre, msnbc contributor, betsy swan from "the daily beast" and sondland -- the president said the country's never been so united. was he talking about this country? because i don't know, i'm curious, karine, what was your reaction to that when he said that? >> well, he's -- i don't know what country, maybe planet two. i have no idea. he certainly was not talking about this one. he

that tremor is coming from alabama. the big shock from the 2020 field. former new york city mayor, michael bloomberg, preparing a white house bid. bloomberg will file paperwork to get on alabama's ballot, ahead of the state's filing deadline. the billionaire businessman has been making calls to connected democrats over the last few days, including guess where -- iowa. a strategist that's worked with bloomberg said one major factor in his thinking is this week's election in virginia. funding from his gun safety group helped democrats win control of the legislature. six weeks ago, bloomberg ruled out a run. >> the truth of the matter is, if you look at the layout of who is going to vote and where the country is, i would be unlikely to get elected. but in the private sector, i can make a difference. >> bloomberg rejected a run earlier because that path to victory seemed narrow with joe biden in the same lane. but biden has been struggling in the crowded democratic field, as former adviser david axelrod treated, this is a thunderclap. and not exactly a vote

the private school samford university in birmingham alabama. her parents worked hard to pay tuition she qualified for no federal financial assistance. her dad worked 80 hours a week at a chicken plant so that she could go to college. she graduated samford in 2017 and her experiences drove her to become immigration activists. she worked at the alabama coalition for immigrant justice after the president trump repealed daca and 2017 fernanda came to washington for four day hunger fest with other recipients on the r. last year fernanda was admitted to the loyola university in chicago school of law. but this mspring her mother wa pulled over in georgia for driving with a broken tail light, her mother is now in deportation proceedings. it's tough enough to go to school without federal financial help, it's tough enough to work your way through it, it's tough enough not to know how the supreme court is going to rule tomorrow or the day after and whether it will change your fate, it's tough enough to know that any knock on the door could mean deportatio

of course, the big news coming out of alabama, willie, will tell you this, is the alabama/lsu game this weekend and whether tua is going to be able to play. that's the big news. >> yes. >> but there's some other news, lesser news. former attorney general jeff sessions has officially entered the alabama senate race and the first task on his agenda appeared to be making amends with donald trump. that's right, the guy who unmercifully mocked him, called him stupid, made fun of him being from alabama. well, now president trump can't vote, of course, in alabama, but sessions announced his run for his former senate seat with a campaign ad that clearly targeted an audience of one. >> jeff sessions here, i approve this ad. when i left president trump's cabinet, did i write a tell-all book? no. did i go on cnn and attack the president? nope. have i said a crossword about our president? not one time. and i'll tell you why. first, that would be dishonorable. i was there to serve his agenda, not mine. second, the president's doing a great job for america and alabama. and he has my strong support. >

but this is hardball politics alabama-style. and the fact is defiance is a single trait that alabama -- white alabamians treasure most in a candidate. fighting trump will remind that sessions is a little reminiscent of george wallace. but it's important for people who understand politics back in conventional rules to understand that alabama voters have what kyle whitmier, a local columnist called sustained cognitive dissonance when it comes to political races. so they will vote for trump at 62% or better as they did previously, and they will send jeff sessions back to the -- at least give him the nomination for the senate without feeling any conflict at all. and i think the real danger for trump, he's going to carry this state anyway. but if he keeps calling jeff sessions a jerk and an idiot and a dumb southerner and mocking his accent, that will hurt trump and it won't hurt sessions at all. >> robert, i think all the time will trump straighten out and fly right the last three months of the general election next year and act lik

in 1938, again during the jim crow era in alabama, dr. carver was the featured speaker at the first peanut festival in alabama. peanuts became more and more popular and by 1990 they became one of the top six crops in the united states, all in large part due to the work of dr. carver at tuskegee university. it is not an overstatement to say that dr. carver, tuskegee university, and the peanut helped save the economy of the south. and this, my friends, is just one example of the extraordinary contributions that hbcus have made to our country over the years and continue to make today. but as we've talked about for some time, including with my friend senator cardin earlier today, those contributions are threatened because of the expiration of federal funding that occurred at the end of september. i've been pushing for the passage of my bill, the future act, which would renew funding for hbcus and other minority serving institutions that expired at the end of september. we need to continue to invest in these institutions and ensure that they h

custody and extradited to the u.s. >> so he'll be there till he comes to alabama. that sounded good to me. >> the fact is, hanging over his head is his extradition. so it's a cloud that you can imagine he worries about. >> so 14 years later, aruba has become a lot less significant to me in how it really held me captive in all of my hurt and pain. >> alta vista was a church that kind of served as a place of peace and hope and serenity in all the chaos that was going on at the time. >> i visited every morning and every night. it was my place to recenter and to try to regroup and to refocus. >> it was the place that beth told us that she came to peace that natalee was in heaven. >> it was when i got to about the sixth cross, that's when i knew natalee was gone. i knew that natalee was with god, and he cared for her through whatever ordeal she encountered that night. every time i looked out at the ocean, i couldn't handle it. it just disturbed me greatly, because it made me feel as if i was never going to get an answer as to what happened to natalee. but i feel like i

alabama just passed a constitutional amendment, a million alabama voters voted in favor of posting the ten commandments in every public place. roy moore is branded as the ten commandments judge. there is a silent christian majority in alabama that's going to come out and support roy moore regardless. so i think we are going to have an interesting republican primary. i think it's going to be roy moore could leave the ticket and jeff sessions will be on it. >> so then to that point, how would you rate doug jones' chances in that race and how do you rate his performance so far? >> i think doug is doing what, you know, what is necessary to do if you're going to try to win in a republican state in alabama. so, he is positioning himself more toward the middle. and i think it's going to be a rematch between roy moore and doug jones. so everybody buckle up. it's going to be a great race, a great time to watch alabama television. >> thank you so much, governor. susan, you wanted to weigh in on this conversation? i see you shaking your head. >> the governor is right. if it's roy moore against do

i'm just a regular human being from alabama and i'm going to make it clear that i got a degree in alabama. a little town outside of selma, alabama. i am standing on the same stage now, as donald trump. the [applause] the president of the united states of america. [usa!] right behind us, the stars & stripes, the american flag. i think god today that we are one nation. what it stands for is south dade air conditioning. it [laughter] it is a community-based air-conditioning repair company out of homestead, florida and originated back in 1985. we became known and then i found a reason to increase, to become a war fighter, so back in 2009, we went on and created a lot of jobs and then crated opportunity for other people and then the recession hit. it got everybody, but i i found myself $750,000 in debt over one million something. there is a reason that god do what he do. he brought me back to alabama were my sick mother was there. when i got there, i met a football player, an auburn football player -- an auburn football player -- an auburn football player. reed macmillion, a fullback. we did s

. >> jessica: it's alabama. unless you are running against an accused pedophile, it's hard to get a democrat in. he still member of the democratic party. to your point, harris, but what if they pull each other apart? we need to have as high and african-american turnout as possible. black women delivered doug jones that win. against reward. but i'm not sure the numbers really bake out that we can do this, if there is a traditional republican running against doug jones. >> guy: republicans delivered in that victory. people who couldn't vote for roy moore. anyone who is not roy moore is going to win that race. >> jessica: weirder things have happened, like donald trump as president. >> guy: sarah. >> melissa: on that note, our own tucker carlson will have exclusive interview with doug jones tonight. be sure to watch tonight from 8:00 p.m. eastern. the one and then switch over to fox business at 9:00! pt watch kennedy immediately at 9:00 right after that! coming up on "outnumbered," microsoft cofounder bill gates ta

president trump goes to alabama for the game of the century. alabama versus lsu. democrats preparing to make their public case for impeachment starting next week. the president saying there is no one we would rather run against michael bloomberg. the new york city mayor announces it's too late to focus on iowa and new hampshire. they are not happy. late entry highlighting growing anxiety among some democrats. the slate of candidates won't be unable to unseat president trump in 2020. >> ♪ >> shannon: welcome to fox news @ night. i am shannon bream in washington. president trump's visit to a college football match up causing a stir on camps. trace gallagher has the story. >> we tick tock closer to kick off in the huge alabama and lsu game. the university of alabama student government is retracting a warning it issued with president trump set to attend tomorrow's game. the student government association told students disruptive behavior could result in students losing their game tickets for the rest of the year. that generated major social media push back. in respo

later today he's running for his old senate seat in alabama. it was exactly one year ago he fired him as a.g. calling him weak and saying he didn't have a clue. sessions is looking to unseat democrat doug jones. >>> now to the americans caught in the middle of the mexican drug wars. funerals begin today for nine members of the same family killed during an ambush. officials say it may be a case of mistaken identity, but this morning the victims' relatives say they believe their family was targeted. this morning, members of the mexican military are standing guard protecting the american compound and family left just before they were massacred. nine members of the family killed in the attack including six children. officials believe drug traffickers attacked the family as they were traveling to a wedding, possibly confusing them with a rival gang. >> so much more awful than we -- any of us could have imagined. >> reporter: kendra miller was the bride-to-be in that wedding. she and other family members say they're now convinced the family was inten

jeff zeleny is live in alabama. jeff, what are you hearing about the timing here and has he chatted with his former boss about the campaign? >> reporter: as far as we know, jeff has not advised the white house or talked to president trump at all, which is not surprising. the two men are not exactly on speaking terms. the timing of this is certainly interesting. this is jeff sessions' choice to make that announcement later today, we're told. he's going to jump into that republican primary. his fate is somewhat in the president's hands. he was just signing the paperwork to be on the ballot here, and the vice president was asked if he planned to jump in or campaign for his long-time friend jeff sessions. he said, we will let the people of alabama decide this race. that is pretty much an open question if president trump will let the people of alabama decide this race, or if he will put his hand on the scale and try to support another republican nominee. we are told by republicans close to the white house that president

it is convincing other people in alabama, particularly black and brown people in alabama, of blackthere are a lot -- people do tend to live close to where they were formally enslaved. there were a lot of black people in sec country, right? the wafer to the bristles of the world is organizedck voters and registered and we have to look at candidates who will do that as opposed to candidates who will spend dollars and blood and treasure trying to convince bruce. among the field of democratic candidates, you listed several. he was your favorite? as it stands now? bumperi have many stickers in my house. i tend to like the progressive policies. i tend to like the people who can build multiracial, multiethnic coalitions. i tend to like competency. to be's generally going hard for me to vote command because i think that one of the things that we have seen over the last few years is it seems women's time to lead. they are activated. they are organized. they are running in so many different fields, they are winning in so many different areas of our country like -- i am most likely going to vote f

senator from alabama. maybe one or two people drop out. jeff sessions wouldn't do this if his poll numbers weren't good. >> this is -- a lot of republicans shermichael were worried about, don't want it to be nationalized, while many conservative groups were pushing sessions to get in, a lot of republicans just as soon he stay out. even with reports that sessions is willing to look past the insults and say nice things about trump would democrats love to see his or their worst nightmare? >> no, it should be their worst nightmare. if you look at doug jones he's arguably the most vulnerable senator up for re-election in 2020, i think if republicans are smart, in spite of what we should expect from this president, they should support jeff sessions and go all-in for him because it's an easy seat for republicans to pick up. if jeff sessions does announce he will immediately become the frontrunner. i do expect that you will see a lot of donors within the state and also donors across the country pumping in money to assure his election. >> so let me

it's important it's nothing to do with alabama. it's just that you have to file to be on the ballot. and the filing deadline is less than three hours from now. the 77-year-old former mayor said in an op-ed earlier this year that he would not run for president. he wrote, i believe i would defeat donald trump in a general election but i'm clear-eyed about the difficulty of winning the democratic nomination in such a crowded field. so why is he apparently changing his mind? bloomberg aide howard wolfson said in a quote we now need to finish the job and ensure that trump is defeated. but mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well-positioned to do that. he went on to say based on his record of accomplishment, leadership, and his ability to bring people together to drive change, mike would be able to take the fight to trump and win. some democratic presidential candidates welcome bloomberg to the race, including former vice president joe biden. >> i welcome him in the race. michael's a solid guy. i ha
