A busy night for you and all of you down there. What happens now in washington . What can be accomplished first of all in the Lame Duck Congress depends what message we hear from the president in the press conference is afternoon. May set the stage for cooperation, defiant tone could lead to an even deeper animosity between the executive branch and republican dominated congress seated in the new year. I think they will try to get as many appointments through the senate that may have been stalled today and give the president the ability to give people on the payroll generally first. Other than that i dont see any major legislation coming forward. There are tremendous risks for republicans as well with voters sending a strong message last night they want to see americas wheels rolling again. Some say the g. O. P. Could be ill served in the next session if it becomes involve bogged in Obama Administration scandal investigations. Already one Influential Senate says those scandals have to b
And a move the republicans say it defiant. And how will america react . And plus. The chilling moments of the deadly midnight theater shooting front and center in a colorado courtroom. People are running out of the theater and shot. Will the jury decide life or death for a man who rained hail of gunfire on dozens. And a tragedy. I thought that somebody in the house would have gone into my house with a car. An overpass killing one and what went terribly wrong . It is all happening now. But we begin with president obama preparing to face the new Republican Led Congress for the first timem2b second hour of happening now. I am jon scott. I am jenna lee, this is the big night in washington and hours from now the president will deliver his state of the Union Address and after a historic defeat with the democrats, the president will spend money on education.

It otherwise. My mother provided the encouragement he needed. She guided him. She provided a refuge in which he could repair to gather his strength. She guarded his privacy. She protected him. Both possessed great individual talents, but as a couple, they were more than the sum of their parts. And it would be a mistake, by the way to consider her has somehow subordinate to her because he was the one usually taking center stage. They were coequals. They complimented one another. Individually, they may have gone far, but together, they could and did go anywhere. My father was inclined to believe that everybody was basically good, and that certainly anyone who worked for him was pure of heart and could never be nursing a private agenda. My mother didnt share that inclination. And she didnt have that luxury.

Of this with will carr covering the democrats. But first lets begin with rich edson live in washington. Good afternoon. Donald trump brought his campaign to san diego. A city near the largest Mexican Border crossing in the United States. That brought hundreds of protesters. Trump has called to build a massive wall on the border and deport millions here illegally. 35 were arrested. Trump continues campaigning in california. He has enough delegates to secure the republican nomination. Hes looking beyond the june 7th primary there. Trump says he can become the first republican in nearly 30 years to capture the california state in general election. I am going to make a heavy, heavy, heavy play because i honestly think that were getting these massive crowds all over the place. I actually think were going to win california. Trump also said he wanted to quote, so badly debate Bernie Sanders after Hillary Clinton refused to do so ahead of the june democratic primary. Trump has reversed course.
