Lou with us next, the chairman of the House Freedom caucus, congressman mark meadows. Also tonight, more evidence that the national leftwing media is working as the opposition party. A new study confirming coverage is wildly biased. Just 3 of their stories about President Trump deemed positive. We take that up with republican strategist ed rollins. And the trump rally roars on. Today the dow industrials crossed the 21,000 level for the first time in history. Just 35 days after the dow blew past 20,000 on optimism about the trump agenda. Since President Trump was elected, the stock market has posted roughly 3. 2 trillion in paper gains. And its not just investor confidence. Consumer confidence as well at a 15year high. Good evening, everybody. President trump today turning from his triumph in the joint session of congress to the important work that now lies before him. Implementing his agenda. Mr. Trump making a brief remark as republicans remain divided on how to repeal and replace obamacare. So thank you very much. Were just here to start the process it. Begins as of now, and we think were going to have tremendous success. Lou the president s meeting comes after address well received by even the leftwing national media. A cbs news poll of all people, watched the address and they found 76 of their viewers approved of the speech. 82 found it president ial. New york times front page headline, before congress, trump urges into trivial fights, times reporter peter baker and Maggie Haberman praising the president as he wrote this that from the New York Times, and it all began last night with the president walking into the Congressional Chamber to thunderous applause. [applause] five minutes worth of applause as he entered and went to the podium. Mr. Trump delivered a message, a call to action on the nations challenges. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that share our souls and the confidence to turn those hopes and those dreams into action. From now on, america will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears. Lou joining us tonight to discuss the president s pledge to put small thinking behind us and answer whether House Republican leadership can do just that when it comes to the repeal and replacement of obamacare. Chairman of the House Freedom caucus, congressman mark meadows joining us tonight. Congressman, great to have you with us. There is some rising concern about the leaderships view of what is acceptable and what will make sense for the American People in the repeal of obamacare and right now, that does not mean true and complete repeal of obamacare in the minds of many. Your thoughts . Lou, youre spot on with your analysis. I can tell you that what happens is a partial repeal and a partial replacement is not something that the American People want us to do. In fact, President Trump said that he was going to repeal it and replace it, but that doesnt mean keep part of the taxes, doesnt mean do a new tax, it doesnt mean create a new entitlement program. So lou, my concern is that weve got to get this right. The president wants to get it right. He wants to make sure theres a safety net for those people that need it, but the other part of it is we cant do that by raising taxes on the manufacturing workers across the country. Lou and the speaker of the house, once again, its within his control, his power, to bring this into line with the 2015 repeal that you all voted on and that president obama vetoed. Why not as so many of your colleagues said why, not just move that legislation and be done with it . Well, lou, youre right. We voted on something. We passed it in the house. Passed it in the senate. Sent it to president obama, he vetoed it. Why dont we send the same bill to this president , let him sign it. Im all in favor of putting a replacement plan on the house floor the same day. Were making it not really a replacement. Not really a repeal. It just becomes another Big Government program, and to think that this Big Government program will replace one that doesnt work, and that this one will work any better is defying history. Weve got to get it right. Hopefully we will. Ive been working with our colleagues and chairman brady on ways and Means Committee to see if it makes fiscal sense for the American People. Lou it wouldnt include taxes on the American People, that wouldnt include income credits. I mean, we go through this, its really deeply troubling to me, as i watch it, from afar, i will tell you because this president has promised to drain the swamp. It is his agenda that is responsible for the election not only his election, but of so many in the house and so many in the senate and to defy, to defy the American People on this is a very big mistake, it seems to me, for speaker ryan and his leadership and there would be an accounting, and it would be, i think, a very damaging to the president. Well, the president is committed to doing it right. I know i believe him to be a man of his word, and he wants to do it right. We in the house are committed to making sure lou let me be clear, congressman, im not talking about him being the architect of that injury. Im saying that paul ryan is, and im saying it as clearly as i can. Its got to stop. It certainly is a leadership plan at this point, and what weve got to do, lou, is work very diligently to make sure that we dont have a new tax. Heres one of the issues i have with it. Its got a refundable tax credit which means it has a check coming from the federal government that will go to those who make 250,000 a year or a Million Dollars a year, so they get the same amount as someone who gets 40,000 a year. I dont see that as fair. Lou does that credit go to the individual or go to the Insurance Company . Well, thats a good point. And right now the way theyre talking about it, it would go to the Insurance Company. However, if theres some left over, it could go to an hsa. Lou that becomes a subsidy as we have now for insurance companies. Exactly. Its a subsidy by another name. Lou and these games are being played by a leadership that apparently thinks that we are as foolish as the democrats were back in 2009 and 10. Were not. Well, were not, and i can tell you that im hearing from a lot of people across the country who says what weve got do is repeal it, and youre right, we did it in 2015. We need to do the same thing today. Senator rand paul has a good proposal out that that i believe is better than the one were asked to consider from our leadership, and yet at the same time, perhaps we blend the two, perhaps we find a way to take some of what dr. Rand paul has done and work on providing a Better Safety net. I think we just have to get this right and negotiate. But weve got to do it quickly. Everything is stacking up, weve got tax reforms. Fix the va, make sure the military is there, and weve got to get that done before august. Lou if the leadership of the house is going to continue to be try to keep the American People in the dark, play games with tax credits, refundable tax credits, subsidies, no matter what you call them, and at the same time, bring forward a cadillac tax on certain plans, i mean, this is a disaster in the making, and i salute you and your colleagues in the Freedom Caucus in the Republican Study Group who are trying to make this leadership accountable and to appeal to their honor, if they have any remaining, and do the right thing here for themselves, for this president and for the country. What do you think the outcome will be . Well, i think that well get a much more conservative bill, and i appreciate your kind remarks and certainly mark walker, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee came out, made a bold stand. What were seeing is there is no consensus today. In order for there to be consensus, weve got to get a real bill that repeals, it replaces it and handle the preexisting conditions, which were committed to do. Lou congressman mark meadows, as always, thank you for all of you and thanks for being with us tonight. We appreciate it. Thank you, lou. Lou were coming right back with much more. Stay with us. President trump vows tougher inenforcement of our immigration laws.

Lou welcome back. President trump last night breaking from his predecessors when walking about fighting terrorism. Our obligation is to serve, protect and defend the citizens of the United States. Were also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical islamic terrorism. [ applause ] you may have noticed he enunciated clearly and emphatically that phrase, the president using the phrase radical islamic terrorism, despite reports that his National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster urged him not to use the phrase, even reports that jim mattis, his secretary of defense, had urged the same thing. Joining us tonight, veteran of ten president ial campaigns, republican strategist, ed rollins, great to have you here. Thank you. Lou and your reaction to the deliberate way in which the president delivered that phrase, naming the enemy. I think its very important. Its what he said all the way through, and obviously, no disrespect to secretary of defense or his National Security adviser, but they are advisers and hes the president. He gets to say what he wants to say and believes, thats what he said through the campaign. Its a very emphatic point hes makeig and think he needs to make it. The president also, and i concur with you on that. I find it troubling that some of his advisers might be suggesting caution in that. We saw it with george w. Bush. It turned out to be a disastrous idea on the part of Condoleezza Rice and his National Security team, president bushs. We saw the same thing with president obama, and 15 years later into this conflict, discussing things like terms of reference when talking about radical islamists. Its troubling. I think this president was very emphatic last night. His top priority is the u. S. Military. The tremendous thing he did for the navy s. E. A. L. Owens and his wife. Lou wonderful moment. Wonderful moment. Repeatedly in the course of the night he said if we put the young men and women in combat, were going to make sure theyre equipped. If i was thinking about activity against the u. S. , i would be concerned. If i was the u. S. Military id be very enthused about my new commander in chief. Lou without question, and millions of americans very enthused about our president. He dominated that room. He literally owned the evening. His command, his connection to the audience, and im talking about beyond those in the chamber. Remarkable. The overwhelming numbers that are coming back, and anybody that gives a state of the union speech and gets 70, 80 approval is amazing. The expectations were low, as i said in the show before, this is a very difficult speech to make. He came off with great strength. I had the privilege of following ronald reagan, worked in his first and second campaign. This was a reaganous speech. Hes not as smooth or practiced, but the words were there. Reagan could have stood up there and read the teleprompter. It was the strength that trump showed they found encouraging. He wasnt as scared again. This is the problem in america, the solutions i want to tackle and together, you want to talk about later, his mission. It was a good speech. Lou as i said on the air, he looked to me to be the most comfortable person in the entire room. He knew what he wanted to say. He was prepared and carried it off, i think, terrifically. Lets turn to one of the issues that is becoming increasingly troubling, i believe, for this administration and certainly for the house of representatives. Talking with mark meadows, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus. The Republican Study Committee. There is a division in this house because the leadership and the person of speaker ryan is trying to run a game instead of drive an agenda on the part of this president , and it looks like theres going to be real trouble that will result. President trump ran on an agenda. Paul ryan did not run on an agenda. Paul ryan is the man who basically presides over the house of representatives and is the leader, but at the end of the day, its the president s agenda that senators, Republican House members all ran on and he has a right to get what he wants. What they can do is put the fine details to it, but you cant come up with alternative agenda. Thisgoing to be such a trademark on republicans. Taking obamacare on as our responsibility and better fix it and fix it right and better not have any kaubels how to do it. Lou what is the difference between speaker rye someone that. Hes talked in the past about other responsibilities. I think in the back of his head he sees himself as a president ial candidate, but i think. Are you saying hes sabotaging one president in order to satisfy his ambition . No, im not saying. That im saying hes a creature of the house, and i think that the point in time, weve not it h a president for a period of time, had a short speakership. The role of the speaker is to preside over the house, not make the national policy. Lou is he going come to his senses . I assume he. Will if he doesnt . Theres 218 members that make up a majority in the house, and we have the bigger majority of 218 passed things and the president has to sit down and make sure its his way or ryans way. If its ryans way, its probably a disaster. Lou all right, ed rollins, thank you so much. Breaking news now, 95 Million People along the nations southeast and the east coast tonight are under threat of severe weather. Think about that. 95 Million People in the east. That fast moving storm system raking parts of the midwest spawned two dozen tornadoes. Three people were killed. The storm continues to move and some of the hardest hit areas outside of chicago and southern missouri, and now it threatens the southeast, the east coast. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight.

The dow surging 303 points, closing above, thats right, above 21,000 for the first time ever. It was only 35 days ago that the dow crossed through 20,000. The s p rose 32, the nasdaq up 79. All three major indexes at record highs tonight. Volume on the big board, the heaviest of the year, 4. 3 billion shares traded. The trump rally picking up steam, markets posting 3. 2 trillion in paper gains since the election of President Donald Trump. Snapchat set to make trading debut tomorrow, 17 a share. Snap valued at 24 billion make together second biggest ipo since alibaba in 2014. Just a few years ago that facebook made a very generous offer to snap, offering 3 billion for the company. Ill bet there are a lot of folks over there at snap who are absolutely thrilled that they turned that offer down. A reminder to listen to my reports three times a day coasttocoast on the salem radio network. Up next, the president last night delivered a message of unity. For all americans, this is our vision. This is our mission, but we can only get there together. We are one people with one destiny. Lou just what made this such a remarkable speech . Thats the subject of my commentary here next. And a mysterious fireball sparking lots of talk and chatter about an unidentified flying object. What was it . Space junk . A meteorite .
