at the white house and what it means here at home. >>reporter: the president laid out his national security strategy for the future. but i'll tell you before he got to that he took a significant amount of time to look back at his first year in office and what he feels are the accomplishments of that first year. and to do it all he start ed with election 2016. take a listen. when the american people speak all of us should listen and just over one year ago you spoke loud and you spoke clear. on november 8, 2016 you voted to make america great again. (applause) the president then went onto highlight his decision to leave the transposition partnership, leave the paris correspond, decertify the iran nuclear deal, impose tougher sanctions upon north korea, among other things and then only then did he get to looking at the future presenting this national security strategy as laid out by the administration. secure the bored he ers rgs the president's first point was to focus on security borders by building a wall, increasing support for ice agents. the president then spoke about the need for economic prosperity. through cutting taxes, reducing regulations, supporting infrastructure. president trump highlighted the idea that we can only obtain piece through strength. in order to do so he says we must modernize our military and finally he spoke about advancing america's influence around the world championing america's values without apology. i spoke with michael oh hand lon a senior fellow at brooking's institute to speak about the president's accomplishments before getting to what he wanted to take a look at for the future. >> the speech sounded like donald trump the candidate and of course he began with attacking all that was wrong with america in his eyes and he saw this as a necessary con last to set up the ideas in his national security strategy. the substance of the report is to me pretty good. but again in the speech by the time he got to any of that we were already 15 minutes in to what was largely a campaign speech against his american domestic opponents. so given the world in which we now live where a campaign is never far away perhaps i shouldn't be surprised but i was still a little bit struck and a little bit disappointed. however you feel about the president's decision to outne in the way he did it was undoubtedly planned. he used the tell prompter today and clearly stuck to the script. reporting live at the white house, ronica cleary, fox5 local news. >> quomg up, a federal judge now

a harassing environment or who the harassers are or even the public at large if that description at all sounds familiar because it sounds a lot like capital hill right now. the system that congress set up in the 90s, the office of compliance has shelled out nearly $60 million in taxpayers settlements because of harassment here on the hill because of non-disclosure agreements that congressman dat
