Than any other u. S. Leader at this point in their presidency. This is one of the first polls taken since mr. Trump fired his National Security adviser, mike flynn and right now the president is scrambling to replace him. So far at least one person has turned him down and were told one of the reasons why, perceived chaos at the white house. Cnn White House Correspondent athena jones is following the president. Whats the vibe in the room . Do people there seem more or less enthused compared to preelection . Its very difficult to hear you. Can you hear the warmup act going on right now. Behind me. As far as enthusiasm it doesnt appear to be any less than it was on the campaign trail. People began lining up outside of this event many hours ago. Our photo journalists arrived at 10 00 a. M. There were already 100 people in line. Some had been in line since 4 30 a. M. When we arrived, the line was several football fields long. This is what the president wants to see. The kind of thing that has energized him this is what energized him on the campaign trail. Being on a rally stage. Hes very much looking forward to coming here, speaking directly to the people. Directly to his supporters. And trying to get around the media filter. This is how the president sees it. He wants to be able to speak directly to his crowd. We expect him to arrive at any minute. The next few minutes. They took off a short while ago from palm beach, they should be arriving in the next 15 to 20 minutes. As this is going on, we know the search is on for a National Security adviser to replace mike flynn. Who is he considering, is there anyone standing out right now as the frontrunner if you can hear me okay . I can hear you. Hes going to be having meetings with the potential replacements, with his now former National Security adviser Michael Flynn tomorrow. We have a new name. One is the acting National Security adviser, keith kellogg. Also Lieutenant General h. R. Mcmaster is among the people the president is going to be meeting with. He will be speaking to a new name we just learned in the last hour or from the white house, that is Lieutenant General robert caslen, the superintendant of west point. But the person that has riz ton the top of the list according to sources close to the president is former u. N. , former ambassador to the u. N. , the united nations, john bolton. Bolton has the support of people like texas senator ted cruz. Who said he would be a strong, strong National Security adviser. Because he understands the threat from radical islamic terrorism. We also understand that bolton has the support of a lot of political staffers on the National Security council who see him as an outsider. Something they believe will appeal to the president. But also as someone who has indepth knowledge of washington and of the way the Foreign Policy process works. Were also told that bolton is close to both c. I. A. Director mike pompeo and to the Vice President , mike pence. Senior Administration Official telling us that pence is extremely powerful at this point. And so he may have some sway when it comes to who the president ultimately picks. But of course its going to come down to who the president is comfortable with these are among the names that he is considering, pamela. Athena jones, thank you so muchle well check back with you soon. After this rally sunday way. Lets talk it over with our cnn political commentators. Ryan lizza, for the new yorker, Alice Stewart, former Ted Cruz Communications lecter, and Mark Lamont Hill, b. E. T. Commentator and Moorehouse College professor. Less than a month into his presidency, brian, is this a sign that President Trump likes campaigning more than governing . The fact that he feels the need to go out there and be with this large crowd of supporters there in florida . I think theres probably an element of that. But i would also say its not really unusual for president s in the first couple of months to go out and do these type of events. I remember covering the Bush White House in 2001. Going with bush to south dakota and a number of red states that he had won in the early months and weeks of his administration. He did it for a very particular reason. He was going out and selling his tax cut proposal. He, so the white house staff was very well organized. They went out there and they were campaigning for a legislative agenda. Barack obama did something very similar in his first weeks for the similar package and later for obamacare. What you hit on is theres no legislative agenda to speak of right now by the Trump Administration. Theres no tax reform proposal thats being written. Theres no repeal of obamacare thats been written. It does have a little more of an element of theyve had a rough month, a disorganized white house so it does have an element, a cliche reset. Trying to amp him up a little bit. He does feed off of these crowds. It gives him a chance to talk directly to his voters, in a venue that hes very comfortable in. And alice, he continues to go after the media. This morning tweeting dont believe the mainstream Fake News Media the white house is running very well. I inherited a mess and am in the process of fixing it. Heres what senator john mccain just said on nbcs meet the press. You believe the press is the enemy . Any group of americans something the enemy of another group of americans . I was talking about the period as you know, of the new world order. A fundamental part of that new world order was a free press. I hate the press. I hate you, especially. But the fact is, we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. Its vital. If you want to preserve, im very serious now. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many timesed a very sarial press. And without it, im afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. Thats how dictators get started. Thats how dictators get started, with tweets like that . No, they get started by suppressing the free press. In other words, consolidation of power when you look at history. The first thing the dictators do is shut down the press. Im not saying that thats, that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. Im just say week need to learn the lessons of history. So alice, on the heels of what senator mccain said, does President Trump risk appearing as if he doesnt support freedom of the press. I love you and i love ryan lizza, i support what you do. Look, hes got a good point. In that the media is important. Theres a reason why they call the media the fourth estate. Its put there to be a check and balance on the government. It has an important function in a free democracy. And its important for elected officials to understand that. But you also have to look at keep in mind if you recall during the obama administration, when anita dunn was the communications director. Have a lot of respect for the entire team they ran a great operation. But during the time, during the obama administration, anita dunn referred to fox news as opinion journalists, disguised as news. So the fact that the media is unfair to the press or to media, is not anything new. In and the fact that the press may speak unfairly of an administration is nothing new. Donald trump just happens to feel that the entire press corps is not fair and is fake news. And thats his opinion. Getting in a war with the press, i dont think is a good idea. But it clearly is a way for him to distract from what hes had this week. Which is a lot of negative headlines about chaos in the white house, the white house in turmoil. Russian connections, on the campaign. And it was a good way to distract from those issues and it certainly energized his base without a doubt. And you know, alice, our Founding Fathers put checks and balances in place for a reason. What do you have to say to the argument from those who say look, if this is clearly an example of President Trump feeling threatened by the checks and balances, not only from the media. But when you look at the judiciary, the way hes gone after judges because they put a halt on his travel ban. What do you have to say to that argument . That this is broader than just he has beef with the media because he doesnt like the headlines. In my view, its not as though he feels threatened. He just doesnt like it. His way to fight back and get something he dislikes is to attack. And thats what he does. Thats with a he did when other candidates like ted cruz, my boss, was a threat to him. He pushed back. And any candidate became a threat to him, or intimidated him or maybe caused him to feel uneasy, he would push back. Thats just simply what he does. And thats what he feels with the press, its not as though he feels threatened by them, but he just doesnt like it. So he pushes back. To think that its going to change, is ridiculous. Its not going to change. Its who he is, how he operates, its worked for him throughout the campaign. He feels as though its going to continue to work throughout the administration. So everyone just needs to get used to it. I will not be surprised at all, Mark Lamont Hill. If he brings up the way he feels about the press at this rally. You see a large crowd there in melbourne, florida, at the airport hangar. What do you want to hear from President Trump during todays rally . Other than the fact that media is fake news . Not to say that you want to hear that. Trump rallies are very predictable. Theyre going to go very long. Theyre going to be largely off the cuff. Hes going to lash out against anyone who has offered a critique of him. Whether its the judicial branch, specific Media Outlets or supporters. Hell continue to double down on claims that have been disproven. Thats a donald trump raly. An articulation to the base that he is the same guy, that no one can change him. The fact that he won the presidency under this strategy has only emboldened him. Its clearly worked for him. But i think its a dangerous thing. I think this is partly, not part of not liking the media nature i have been. I think it is about him being threatened by the media. He wants to advance a policy. But he cant do that if a judge says its not legal. Hes feeling that these outside sources are stopping him. Donald trumps world view is that hes right all the time if someone disproves him, challenges him or underminus anything hes trying to do, theres something wrong with them. Theyre the wrong kind of person. For me its not just about an individual person with an axe to grind against the media. Its a very irresponsible, ultimately dangerous moment in history. Almost a proto fascist moment in history where he is laying seed beds in the mind of people that the media is broken. I dont think its a wild critique to say there are parts of fox news that are communications of the republican party. Theres a difference between critiquing a particular journalist or network and saying that media as such doesnt work. Nsa what donald trump has said. Hes saying dont trust the facts, dont trust the media, just trust me. Theres nothing scarier than that. Thank you so much, ryan, alice, mark for sharing your perspective. We have more to discuss. Were waiting for President Trumps rally in melbourne, florida, a live look here at the airport hangar. Where hell deliver his speech when it begins. And well bring it to you live.

Aside from holding this rally, mr. Trump is also scrambling to find a new National Security adviser after firing Michael Flynn. The white house says the president is meeting with these four men this weekend right here, cnns dan merika is at trumps rally. Were learning theres pressure on the president to name a new adviser. What can you tell us . As donald trump is making his way here right now, people in his white house and frankly him are, theyre dealing with the fact that he has no National Security adviser. This is a critical position and he knows its a critical position. Because of the fact that he assigned mike flynn to it so early on. Its kind of a black eye for the white house, frankly. They dont have, flynn had to step down. And their second pick, harderman said no. Hes considering four people. I think we have their names to put up. One of which is keith kellogg, acting as the current National Security adviser. Hes formerly the National Security chief of staff. And hes actually traveling with trump this weekend. Handling the duties of National Security adviser. Even though hes in the acting role. John bolton is a former u. N. Ambassador, being pushed not only by people like ted cruz, but also Vice President mike peps and others, the c. I. A. Director inside trumps administration. Thats why bolton has vaulted up as possibly the leading candidate because of that, those powerful forces behind him. Then theres h. R. Mcmaster, a career army officer and a military strategist. And lastly, a name we just learned about today, is robert caslen, the superintendant of west point. Now theres four names, trump will meet with all of them tomorrow. While hes at maralago. His private club in palm beach. But what the white house is trying to do is pick somebody to move past this story about Michael Flynn. And the uncertainty in his administration about how they would handle a crisis. If they had no National Security adviser. And the fact that he wanted, bob harward turned down the job as well. The search will continue and youll keep us up to date. Thank you so much in melbourne, florida, as we await the rally with President Trump. Lets bring back our panel, cnn commentators, ryan lizza, Alice Stewart and Mark Lamont Hill. Ryan what can President Trump say at this rally that will reassure america and its allies in your view . And its allies . Yes, and its allies . Well maybe hell talk a little bit about how hes closing in on actually having a National Security adviser. If you read any of the reports coming out of this conference in munich, an annual conference known as the Munich Security Conference and Vice President pence is over there a lot of senior american officials are over there. A lot of senators. The headlines from that conference is really one of the first gatherings where a lot of european leaders and american colleagues are there together. Its alarm, right . Its a fundamentally questioning whether or not the United States wants to play the same role in the world that it has played since the end of world war ii. Frankly europe is worrying whether we still have their back. Angela merkel, and the foreign minister talked about the new administration seems to want eq disturbing. Theres not a lot of words coming from donald trump about how europe is an indispensable ally. Theres words about how europe and russia are on equal par i dont know if today is the place for that kind of talk. Its a rally in flo fla among supporters. But thats what our traditional allies want to hear and theyre getting very mixed messages, on the one hand they hear from pence that we have an unbreakable bond with europe and nato is important. But the president s message has been very, very mixed. And as youre speaking there, were looking at a split screen on the ground in melbourne, florida, a bit of a dichotomy. On the one side proerks testers and on the other, Trump Supporters in the airport hangar. And mark, its clear the president has tremendous support among his base. But the latest gallup poll says he has an 84 Approval Rating among republicans, but just an 8 approval among democrats and an overall Approval Rating of 39 . Thats from pew. How does President Trump get more americans to support him, mark . I think at some form he has to articulate the agenda. The certainly clinton, certainly the karl roveled george w. Bush administration was constantly campaigning. But hes taken it to another level. Where hes coming out within 30 days, no the just speaking to large crowds which other president s have done. But doing so almost purely in a Campaign Moment or a policy or legislative moment. Thats disturbing to people. When you look at all the stumbles in the last month. Combined with the fact hes not articulating a clear agenda or set of steps, thats worries the American People. Thats why you see the numbers dropping quickly. Has to shift that and shift perception in the international community. Its one thing for mike pence to speak to nato. Its another thing for President Trump to articulate the same sense of solidarity and closeness. If it seems as if hes equally distant from all the powers, irrespective of our previous relationship. Then what happens is the foreign powers feel very uneasy. And when foreign powers feel uneasy. Angela merkel is pushing back quickly it makes American People who particularly those on the fence, very untrusting of Donald Trumps presidency. We need more than big words or speaking to the people who voted for him. We need him to speak to the people who didnt. Not to take his policy im not unrealistic. To articulate a policy that has concrete steps, now that were past the election. Alice, the president says his administration is running like a finetuned machine. But Time Magazine says the white house is quote in chaos, the latest cover story says some aides now refuse to communicate by email. Many have taken to using encrypted apps to get around the investigations from his order. To clamp down on leaks, others are skittish to even pick up the phone, assuming someone is always listening or monitoring calls what can the staff accomplish if theyre constantly looking over their shoulders . I think the palace intrigue stories are just that. Its a good story. Good conversation, good water cooler topic. But thats as far as it goes. Every new administration has its growing pains, every new administration goes through periods of time where theres some unrest and this is more than likely a little bit higher scale than what were used to. But its not unusual. And donald trump is clearly not going to focus on that. If he says its a welloiled machine and he is at the helm, then thats, thats what he is going to continue to believe. Hes clearly more focused on getting things done. And and he feels hes been successful with regard to following through on the Campaign Promises that he laid out with regard to building the wall. Which is going to be a fence. And executive order, we going to roll out a revised executive order on the travel ban next week. Repealing and replacing obamacare. He made plans to give some specifics on that. Rolling out in march. And i think what well hear today is more of what we heard in South Carolina yesterday. Following through on Campaign Promises and reassuring those people right there on the screen, his base, that he will make America Great again. America first. He will talk about strengthening our American Military and buy american, hire american. To follow up on ryans points about what hes saying and what he can say today, the next few days to our allies, its important to show that we will continue to build our military, its critical for him to get National Security team in place. Its also important for him to allow them to build their own team. That is so important for him to have their best team around them and their loyal soldiers with them. And mike pence is doing a good job of conveying the message, as ryan said, with regard to supporting our allies in europe. We will stand behind nato. But also another critical message that hes delivering today. Is its getting a lot of headlines is telling russia they will be held accountable. And thats important, there are allies know that were not going to be a door mat for russia. And if need be, we will take action. But i think that was an important message, also. That the Vice President delivered today. And ryan, the president as alice pointed to, he insists that his administration is operating well. And that he inherited a mess that the chaos is left behind from the obama administration. What do you make of those claims, ryan . Well, i mean if you can compare the world that he inherited to the world that the last president inherited, its a pretty big difference. In terms of new president s and messes not so bad. You know, four, 5 unemployment. Crime at historic lows. Its not considered the mess that obama inherited with the financial crisis, the war in iraq, the war in afghanistan. That was a mess. I think that theres a little bit of, that was a strategic, that was some Strategic Communications on trumps part. He wants, hes looking for, hes looking for ways to allocate blame for the very unsteady rollout of this early white house. So i dont think historically he has inherited anything nearly as bad as some, as some new president s. Theres a period of relative peace and prosperity. With some obvious Serious Problems that both candidates identified during the campaign. Were not in one of the, were thog like where we were in 2009, when barack obama became president for instance. Ryan, alice, mark, stay with us as we await, just minutes from President Trumps rally in melbourne, florida. Well bring it to you live when he takes the podium. Not just supporters greeting President Trump. Protests are out as well. Demonstrator right outside a hangar where President Trump will speak. Air force one landing in melbourne, florida.

Any moment now, President Trump will address a crowd of supporters in melbourne, florida. And what the white house is calling a Campaign Rally. Thousands of people are waiting to hear the president speak in an airport hangar after a tumultuous week in washington. Trump is searching for a new National Security adviser to replace Michael Flynn who resigned after misleading the Vice President about his preinauguration calls with the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. James comey also briefed the Senate Intelligence committee on the agencys investigation into russian interference in the u. S. Election and i want to bring back my panel, ryan lizza, Alice Stewart and Mark Lamont Hill. Lets listen to what Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said about russian interference in the election. Translator im not seen one fact breaking into a site, any site of the democratic party. Nor as as concerned. What do you make of those comments after the events of this week . Of course hes going to say that, hell deny it until we have evidence to prove otherwise. All we can say is that based on what were seeing and hearing from members of the Senate Intel Committee who came out of that meeting with james comey this week, we had senator marco rubio come out and pretty inequivocally say they have what they need to have further hearings on this. And all of them understandably were tightlipped about the information that was provided to them. Certainly classified information. But the fact that they are even contemplating and discussing further hearings is concerning. And it does lead you to believe that there was russian hacking and that it did influence possibly the outcome of the election. How you determine how it impacted the election, would be difficult if they can even do that. But i think the bigger concern with this is that unfortunately for the Trump Administration theres so many different roads that lead back to russia and thats a problem. We just had the flynn situation and now this and now concerns about campaign collusion, thats a concern. But with regard to comey and russian hacking, there is clearly a there there, which is why were going to see more investigation from the senate. And jeffrey, right now as we speak, theres a russian spy ship just off the coast of delaware. The russians also deployed a cruise miss until apparent violation of an 1987 inf treaty and Sergei Lavrov spoke about a postwest. Strong support for the transatlantic alliance. Jeffrey lord, is russia trying to test President Trump and how should President Trump respond to this . Jeffrey is not here. Im going to go to you, Mark Lamont Hill. What do you think about that . Well first i get confused with jeffrey lord all the time. Its like you guys are just alike. Everything you say and do and think its app important moment for donald trump and his administration, he ran with a level of proximity to the russian government. He wanted to reset to use the language again, the relationship with russia, it looked like he was going to be much closer. Weve seen the last three to four weeks is the relationship to russia and a posture towards russian which is far more consistent. This isnt that different than other Foreign Policy relationships that President Trump has offered. He was very close to benjamin netanyahu. Until he makes a different claim on settlements thats more traditionally aligned with u. S. Policy. Hes moved in a more traditional manner and its making russia somewhat uneasy. What President Trump has to do, i believe is shore up his relationship with russia without compromising the trust and investment of nato and without compromising the trust of the American People there are lots of reasons to have a fundamental distrust of trumps relationship to russia. We need some clarity, we need a light shined on that and some sort of answer from an outside investigative body. All right. Is that the first time were you ever mixed up with jeffrey lord. Mark lamont hill. As were you talking, air force one pulling up to the airport hangar in melbourne, florida. Make President Trump making his grand entrance for what his staff is calling a Campaign Rally. Less than a month of being in office, hes there with a large crowd awaiting his arrival. And as we wait for him to go down the stairs, i want to quickly ask you, ryan what do you make of marco rubios tweet yesterday after that fbi director comey briefing with the intelligence committee. He said im now very confident that the Senate Intel Committee i serve on will conduct a thorough bipartisan investigation of putin interference and influence. Interference and influence. What do you make of that tweet . Its very interesting. Because two things are going on. One, its rubio saying he wants the Intelligence Committee to do this investigation. Which is not what a lot of highprofile democrats and republicans want. People like john mccain and Lindsey Graham want a select committee. Something outside of the Current Committee structure. An independent committee to do that. Because frankly a lot of people are worried if its done by the Intelligence Committee, you know, it will be invisible. The Intelligence Committee is not as open and public for obvious reasons. And a select committee could have a stronger, wider mandate. So thats one thing. He wants it to be done in house on the Intelligence Committee. But on the other hand, he is making he obviously made a very strong case for what the Intelligence Community has said. Right when before barack obama left office. The Intelligence Community put out a unanimous report that the public version of the report was light on details. But they confirmed that russia instituted an influence campaign during the kpou 16 election. And it came from the highest levels of the russian government. As instructed his Intelligence Services to do this. So hes, hes fully on board with the fact that this actually happened, contrary to what mr. Lavrov said in his comments you played. For people who want a thorough investigation, thats encouraging. I think this is a serious enough issue, something along the lines of a 9 11 commission, an inindependent thorough body should do this i think its less likely that politics will get involved. But it is, its clear from that tweet that rubio is taking this very seriously. I want to follow up on one thing with regard to the russian ship off the coast, a comment that a comment that mark responded to. About the ship. My understanding is that the plans for the ship to come to these waters have been in the works for quite some time. Several months ago, before the president , any president was named. So this, idea for provoking the president could have been done for either one. Whether it was Hillary Clinton that won or donald trump. So it was clear that the russian government planned to try and intimidate or try to provoke however the new president was from the very beginning. Theyre just testing the water. But donald trump made it quite clear that hes paying attention to it. Keeping a close eye on it. Its one thing that clearly theyre both playing tit for tat. Mike pence was very clear today that russia is going to face the strong arm of the United States government, if need be. And as we await President Trump to go down there, those stairs at air force one and speak to that large crowd inside the airport hangar in melbourne, florida, alice, what do you think were going to hear from him . Weve seen this from past president s whr where they come out when they havent been in office that long to speak to crowds. Normally theres a specific reason with barack obama, it was to talk about the stimulus package and obamacare and other past president s have also had specific reasons. What do you make of this . I expect it to be similar to the message he drove home to supporters in South Carolina. That was geared more towards military technology, given it was at boeing. It will be an opportunity for him to rally the crowd show him as confident. I think the dynamics of this event are more important to him than the actual words. And the visuals of a confident, strong, engaged president are more important than the actual words that he says. His commitment to securing the border. His commitment to repealing and replacing obamacare in florida is a big issue for floridians and jobs, jobs, jobs. I worked for rick scott. If i had a dime for every time he said jobs, it was a big deal in florida. So his commitment to creating jobs and creating environment for businesses to go and build a workforce is big for people in florida. Ryan, what do you make of this, its been a rocky road the last few weeks when you look at what happen the to his travel ban. When you look at what happened to his National Security adviser, mike flynn and his resignation this past week and reports of chaos in the white house. How do you think all of that plays into this campaign event. In florida . I think hes going to use this similar to what he used the press conference is basically to push back the reports that his administration is off to a poor start. Thats one of the reasons he likes to have sort of unfiltered access to the air waves is to make his case of us not talking about all the problems that hes having. Several administrations now, this is on an order of magnitude worse than the first weeks of the obama administration, the Bush Administration or the Clinton Administration and the Clinton Administration probably had the roughest early opening. We dont have a functioning National Security council. The nsc formulates and coordinates all of american Foreign Policy. We dont have Anyone Running it, thats bad. We have a white house that has at least four people on the top layer, without any Single Person in charge. Historically that kind of white house structure has not produced good results. Theres a long academic history about what kind of white house staffing works. Having a strong chief of staff its obviously had an impact. The executive orders have been rolled out without being vetted by the proper agency which is left it open to that legal appeal on the immigration. So you know, this is a chance for him to make a contrary argument, i guess is what im trying to say. Here we see, first lady, Melania Trump and the president walking down the steps of air force one. To the airport hangar. This is sort of reminiscent of what we saw during the campaign. When he would go to these big rallies on his private jet, pull up there, walk down the steps to a big crowd. This time its air force one because hes president. Hes been in the white house for less than a month. But his aides say he wanted to come out and be a part of what theyre dubbing this Campaign Rally. And so as we await to hear what he has to say, theres a large crowd there. But theres also been protesters, demonstrators across the street from where President Trump is speaking. And we caught up with one of them earlier today. This is, we did this in the 60s, i felt compelled to come. Even though its a little frightening. Because this is not always an easy thing. But i dont want the world to think that that this gentleman represents how we feel about immigrants, about our environment. About our justice system. About people from abroad. Because im embarrassed and im afraid. Ive never been afraid. Its a bit of a dichotomy, in melbourne. Large crowd, thousands as weve been told inside the airport hangar. But obviously protesters like the woman you heard, trying to make their voices heard. And with President Trumps presidency, less than a month in, i want to just go to Mark Lamont Hill who has been watching this. Mark, what do you hope to hear from the president as we await his words shortly from now . I hope to at this moment hear some word of unification. And some word of explanation. And clarification. That is to say, its past the election. Youve won. There shouldnt be a 38 Approval Rating. Particularly when very little has happened. I need to you speak to the other 62 who are not approval of the job thats been done so far. I need some level of humility. To say weve hit a few rough patches, i would like to hear some concrete policy ideas that allow people to say hey, hes not just tweeting, hes not just responding, not just asailing the media. But actually tieing to move his agenda forward. I think thats with a we should expect. I think the rally is not about that think its about being somewhat of a security blanket and comfort zone. Hes had a lot of things that he couldnt control through the media. And his typical response is to lash out through twitter and other forms of media. And now hes saying hey, i want to go back to where it all started to where people like me, to where i was cheered and my ego was stroked, thats fine. But link it to a policy initiative. Like tech, like the stimulus plan, like obamacare, like a new tax plan. Lets do something that is linklink linked to it. Its tough to tell when hes about to talk. I have to say as we await him, as hes walking up to the podium now, giving his wife a kiss, Melania Trump. Lets listen in. Thank you. Thank you, let us pray. Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this days our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespasses against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the norry forever and ever amen. [ cheers and applause ] good afternoon, it is my honor and great pleasure to stand here before you. As the first lady of the United States. The america we envision is one that works for all americans and where all americans can work and succeed. A nation committed to a greater civility and unity between people from all sides of the political divide. I will always stay true to myself and be truthful to you. No matter what the opposition is saying about me. I will act in the best interests of all of you. Im committed to creating and supporting initiatives dear to my heart. Which will have impact on women, and children all around the world. My husband is creating a country of great safety. And prosperity. Ladies and gentlemen, im proud to introduce the president of the United States, donald trump. Thank you, everybody, thank you. I didnt know that melania was going to be saying the lords prayer, but i thought that was very beautiful, thank you, thank you. Its so great to be here in florida. My second home with you. This is a state i truly love. This is a state where we all had great victory together. Thank you. Its now been a month since my inauguration. And i am here to tell but our incredible progress in making America Great again. And im also here to great agai im also here to tell you about our plans for the future and theyre big and theyre bold and its what our country is all about, believe me. Im here because i want to be among my friends and among the people. This was a Great Movement, a Movement Like has never been seen before in our country our probably anywhere else. This was a truly Great Movement and i want to be here with you and i will always be with you. I promise you that. I want to be in a room filled with hafrd working american patriots who love their country, who salute their flag and who pray for a better future. I also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. The Dishonest Media which has published one falls story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have them, they make them up in many cases, they just dont want to report the truth and theyve been calling us wrong now for two years. They dont get it. By theyre starting to get it. I can tell you that. Theyve become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system. Thomas jefferson, andrew jackson, and Abraham Lincoln and many of our greatest president s fought with the media and called them out often times on their lies. When the media lies to people, i will never, ever let them get away with it. I will do whatever i can that they dont get away with it. They have their own agenda and their agenda is not your agenda. In fact, Thomas Jefferson said nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself, he said, becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle, that was june 14, my birthday, 1807, but despite all their lies, misrepresentations, and falls stories, they could not defeat us in the primaries, and they could not defeat us in the general election, and we will continue to expose them for what they are, and most importantly, we will continue to win, win, win. [ applause ] we are not going to let the fake news tell us what to do, how to live, or what to believe. We are free and independent people and we will make our own choices. [ applause ] we are here today to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I hear your demands, i hear your voices and i promise you i will deliver. I promise that. And by the way, youve seen what weve accomplished in a very short period of time. The white house is running so smoothly. So smoothly. And belief me, i and we inherited one big mess. That i can tell you, but i know that you want safe neighborhoods where the streets belong to families and communities, not gang members and drug dealers who are right now as i speak being thrown out of the country and they will not be let back in. We will have strong borders again. [ applause ] and i mean that. Youve seen it in television. Youve seen it on television. General kelly now secretary kelly, hes really doing the job. Youre seeing it. The gang members, bad, bad people. I said day one, and theyre going out. Or theyre being put in prison, but for the most part, get them the hell out of here. Bring them back to where they came from. [ applause ] the fact is, you want Great Schools for your children. You want good high paying jobs for yourselves and for your loved ones and for the future of your families. You want a Health Care System and by the way, we are going to be submitting in a couple of weeks a Great Health Care plan thats going to take the place of the disaster known as obamacare. [ applause ] it will be repealed and replaced. For those people. The people put into rooms where republicans are talking about the plan, and it wouldnt matter what they say, for those people just so you understand, our plan will be much Better Health care at a much lower coast. Okay. [ applause ] nothing to complain about. Obamacare remember, it is a disaster. You want low Cost American Energy also, which means lifting the restrictions on oil, on shell, on natural gas and on clean, very clean coal. Were going to put the miners back to work. The miners go back to work. You want us to enforce immigration laws and defend our borders. You want fair trade deals and a level playing field. We dont have a level playing field. Because you understand that when American Workers win, america as a country wins and wins big. And every country over the last long period of time has been taking advantage of the studenty of our politicians. Its not going to happen any longer. You want lower taxes. Less regulation. Millions of new jobs and more product stamped with those beautiful, beautiful words made in the usa. You want to make it years for companies to do business in america. And harder for companies tom leave. We dont Want Companies saying, everybody is fired. Were moving to another country. Were going to make the product. Sell it across the border and isnt that wonderful. Not going happen anymore. Were going to have strong borders and when they want to sell that product back across our border, theyre going to pay a 35 tax and you know what, theyre never going to leave. They will never, ever leave. And youve seen that because ive already displayed it for the last two months even before i got into office. Theyre not leaving. And if they do, theyre going to pay a big price for terminating the relationship with our workers. You want a government that serves the people not the donors and special interest. You want a government that keeps its promises. A great spirit of optimism is sweeping and you see it. Its sweeping all across the country. Look at whats happening to the stock market. Look at whats happening to the every poll when it comes to optimism in our country. Its sweeping across the country. And, in fact, every day for the last long period of days this stock market means, companies, have been hitting new highs. Theyre going to start highs. Its going to be a new day in america. Youre going to be proud again. Jobs are already starting to pour back in. Theyre coming back in like you havent seen in a long time. Ford, general motors, Fiat Chrysler are bringing in and bringing back thousands of jobs investing billions of dollars because of the new Business Climate that we are creating in our country. In arizona, intel, great company, Just Announced it will open a new plant that will create at least 10,000 brand new beautiful american jobs. I followed through on my promise to withdraw from the job killing disaster known as the transpacific partnership. Tpp, we have just terminated our relationship to it. Were going to have tremendous trade deals all over the world, but theyre going to be bilateral or as we would say, oneonone. None of these deals where we get caught in quick sand. Get mired in and we cant do anything about it. By the way, nafta and so many others. My administration has begun plans to crack down on foreign cheating and currency manipulation which is killing our companies and really, really hurting our workers. Were going to end it. Within a few days of taking the oath of office, ive
