He seemed to have a good time and really enjoyed himself as he was greeting those marines for the last number of minutes. His speech tonight will follow his speech on the new afghanistan strategy. That was well received by the establishment of the Republican Party and it was well received on wall street. Investors expressing hope that maybe last nights speech was the first step for this president in stabilizing his administration and maybe make progress on tax reform. What about tonight . Jeff flock outside the rally. Blake berman outside the white house. Jeff, there has been so much buildup for this rally. How do things look . Reporter frankly they look a little tense. We have the Trump Supporters on this side of the street waiting to get into the Convention Center. On the other side of the street there are protesters, and there is a protest march thats slated to come down sheer starting at a local park. This state is like much of the country. The president won this state 4844 . And that was a smaller majority than mitt romney or john mccain. There are a lot of people shouting at each other. We just hope it stays there. Connell they are making an effort i presume to keep the two sides separate. Reporter you cannot see them, but there are police throughout this in plain clothes and full regalia. They pledge to keep both sides apart with thousands on both sides that will be difficult. But the mayor here urged the president not to go through with this rally. He said he didnt have any illusions the president would listen. Hes coming. Connell hes on his way. Jeff, well check back with you. Well go back to blake at the white house. Blake has breaking news on what we might hear and bet wear we may not hear. Reporter folks were potentially worried about tensions over joe arpaio. The 85yearold who was cited for contempt for disregarding a judges order when it came to going through with antiimmigrant patrols. Sarah huckabeesanders said the president would not be bringing up this issue, sheriff joe in arizona. She said there will be no discussion of that today at any point and no action will be taken on that front at any point today as to whether the president might pardon arpaio. Leaving open the possibility this could happen the day after, the week after, the month after. The president brought this into the headlines when he gave an interview and said the following regarding a pardon. He said quote im seriously considering a pardon for sheriff arpaio. He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. Hes an American Patriot and i hate to see what has happened to him. But the president will not be talking about it tonight. But there is a lot of intrigue about it. Well see if the president talks about the two republican senators in this state. He called flake toxic, and you know what happened with john mccain and healthcare. Connell, flake is involved in a big primary out there. Reporter and the president sort of somewhat kind of endorsed flakes challenger. He connell were blake, thank you. Lets talk about the two speeches. Last night we saw the president speaking about afghanistan. Picking up some support from the establishment wing of his party, the socalled globalists, even from republicans not afraid to be critical of him. Praised the president last night. But the question is, did he lose part of his base in the process . Where do the socalled nationalists go from here . That brings us to tonight. Angela mccowan joins us. And we are joined by a former democratic rain are army ranger and democratic strategist. He got a lot of praise last night. What did you think of that and is it possible to build on that tonight . We praised our commanderinchief because we are at war. What happened in afghanistan we dont want to happen here. Not only did the president bring those socalled Establishment Republicans to his side, i think democrats are on his team as well. As for the nationalists, hes the president of the United States, he represents all people. I hate the division we created with this fake news. Im hopeful tonight when he does give his speech the president will use the bully pulpit to bring the country together. Connell it will be interesting to see how he handle it tonight. If you get into a situation like last night you are making a scripted speech. Tonight in this type of setting we have heard from a different trump. Some are worried he will take a step back this evening. I completely agree. These are very different nights. Tonight well have a cam panel rally. By their very nature, campaigns are divisive. I hope he builds on what he started last night. He needs to bring the country together. We need to stop the division and get past the vitriol. He had a rough couple weeks. He got up off that mat last night and brushed himself off and gave a solid speech. Connell maybe you are one of those democrats in hiding who supported the president in see kret. I want the commanderinchief and the president they are one and the same. I want him to do the best possible job because well all suffer if this presidency fails. Connell this idea that you go into a campaignstyle event after last night. Any risk there in your thinking . I like his style. We have the right to state our grievances. So a lot of people cant go to washington, d. C. So hes taking it to the people. Is it symbolic . You can think of it that way. I used to have a property . Scottsdale, arizona. I liked the sheriff there. I wish he would pardon him. I think its great that hes going there. Its not that the campaigns are bad. Connell air force one you see you it taxiing on the runway in yuma, arizona. In terms of our coverage on the Fox Business Network of that rally. Trish regan is coming on airing at 9 00 p. M. Eastern time leading up to the president s speech at 10 00. Sanctuary cities have been pushing back. And there is a new twist. Sanctuary schools. Thats next. Connell we have been watching President Trump as he tours the southern border. Dozens of School Districts in sanctuary cities are vowing shield their students and families from deportation orders. Well start with you in new york. The idea and i assume the president will talk about sanctuary cities. The idea of School Districts getting involved. Explain to me why they should if you think they should. Im look forward to the president s speech tonight. I think every parent in this country understands schools are not about immigration agents or government interference coming in and getting personality data on children and students. I think its paramount. Think about the slippery slope. Whats next, look at different religions of students . We have to pro text the sanctity of the schools its pun american for governments to go into schools. Connell will be the pictures you see on the screen are from earlier touring the border. Then he met with u. S. Marines. This new wrinkle of the School Districts getting involved. Do they have a role . You cant break the law then recreate the law. Thats where we are. I dont believe in break up families. But i dont leave the School District should be shielding people if they have broken the law. I didnt interrupt you. Connell that was me. It angered me because we want to hire these people, we want to pay them under the table, but we dont want to sponsor them to become american citizens. Thats why we are snuck this hole. We need to stopover again. Have these people have amnesty and move on. Connell im afraid to follow up here. Im sorry about that. But it is interesting because thats the debate. People say the law is the law. And thats angels argument. Thats the law. I appreciate angelas point. We need to rethink this immigration system. I hope tonight when the president gets there and gets to arizona its a unifying street about the country and going forward. But angela is right, we need comprehensive reform. Connell i did deserve it, i did interrupt you and i apologize. Give us a closing thought what you expect on immigration. He talked a lot about this issue when hes been in this area in phoenix, arizona. When he speaks from the heart, he does okay. Its just when he goes some of script. When he speaks from the heart and talks about those people, i think well be fine. Connell we are going to move on and talk about afghanistan and what the strategy may be there. The president will be debating himself there. He said last night things are a whole lot different when you are the one sitting behind the desk in the oval office. Well be right back to talk about that. Ron time. Tap one little bumper and up go your rates. What good is having insurance if you get punished for using it . For drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise your rates due to your first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Is everything ok . Adt, i could hear crackling in the walls, and my mind went totally blank. All i remember saying was, my boyfriends beating me and she took it from there. When a fire is going on, youre running around, youre not thinking clearly, so they called the Fire Department for us. And all of this occurred in four minutes or less. Within five minutes. I am absolutely grateful we all made it out safely. Its kind of one of those things you cant even. You cant even thank somebody. People you dont know actually care about you. To protect what you love, call 1800adtcares my original instinct was to pull out, and historically i like following my instincts. But all my life i heard that decisions are much different when you have sit behind the desk in the oval office. Connell President Trump last night on how he arrived on his decision to send more troops to afghanistan. The Top Commander for the middle east said the first new forces will start arriving within days or weeks. Joining us to talk about afghanistan, michael pritchette. He served under january mcmaster. And a senior fellow at the irnd institute. Welcome to you both. We heard the president go through his explanation last night. City the was interesting that he was going against his gut instincts. He listened to the advice he was getting from his generals. What did you make of that and do you think the strategy will work . City the was good advice. All you have to do is tell the president look what happened in iraq when we left. The same thing could happen in afghanistan. Especially with a new isis presence in that country. And the resurgence of the taliban. I think the most of important thing to come out of the speech was Pakistan Holding it accountable for harboring the taliban during the winter and also hosting the acany network as well. Connell the Foreign Policy net work said the u. S. Would be tougher on pakistan and even for the increase in the troop level. It is a similar strategy somewhat we tried in the past. Do you think it will work . No. We already lost the war and we are trying to win it by doing what we did in the past to fail. Our military presence also generates some of this blowback terrorism. Maybe if we had a lighter presence, maybe just a counterterrorism presence. If you are fighting the taliban its a counties insurgency. Connell the argument is if we leave, that creates a potential for another 9 11. Im not sure thats true. The taliban sheltered al qaeda reluctantly in the first place because the pashtun code of conduct says you dont give up guests. The taliban got thrown out of tour, their country got bombed, now its being devastated by foreign occupiers. This isnt dependent on them threrng anything. But how is afghanistan different from so imlal, yemen, and pakistan itself. We cant keep our finger in the dike everywhere. We dont have a time machine to go back to 2003. The reason we are in afghanistan is because of what happened in iraq in 2011. We have to make sure tear roar groups dont have safe harbor. If isis wasnt in that region we could probably exit. Because the taliban will be there forever. Connell this is an important issue. We talked at length last night before the speech and well come back to it. But in the meantime i have to go to arizona with the trump rally. Thats our main story this evening, campaign style. The argument or could anybody from any party beat him running against him . Yes, there is talk about 2020. We have one of the president s y pollsters with us. You brush ors you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse.

Connell breaking news in the phoenix area, and were told there is tension on the outside thats building up a little bit but led to believe tension building up in the Convention Center for the rally that features President Trump. Hillary vaughn has set herself up inside that arena. Whats it like, hillary . Reporter people are waiting outside to get in line. President trump is wheels up from border stop and headed here to phoenix to rally supporters. At the border stop he met with Border Patrol, immigration officials and marines. The reason he was in yuma, arizona. Theyve seen an 83 drop in border crossings ever since they installed more fencing and infrastructure and say a big part of that was trumps executive orders that dealt with immigration. That played a big part in helping reduce the number of border crossings. We expect that to be a topic of conversation here tonight. We talked to thousands of supporters and the number one issue we wanted to see President Trump address was border security. Trump will take the stage a few hours from now, and people camped out overnight to grab the first spot in line, to be the first ones through the door tonight. Connell. Reporter got used to that in the campaign. Connell can you see this is a campaignstyle event tonight organized by the president s political operation, weve been hearing reports that President Trump views Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg and massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren as potential democratic rivals in 2020, maybe a primary opponent from john kasich or somebody else. Thats the talk. With that we bring john mclaughlin, a pollster running numbers of his own on this. Made a living doing that for some time. Good to see you. Good to be here. Connell boy, i hate to see this, are we getting set for another campaign . A little early, the president is worried about accomplishments and get his agenda done. He doesnt get the Media Coverage or the credit when he succeeds. Here you have a major drop in illegal immigration coming across that border into arizona and the way he could get Media Coverage is physically going there and pointing to the accomplishment. Connell interesting, last night you make a speech you are praised by all types of people you are not normally praised by, you say its important for tonights speech as well . Right, whats important is hes out there. He doesnt want to be isolated in washington. This is outside the beltway, blue collar billionaire president who built a Heartland Coalition and the average people in america are really where he draws his energy from because hes there to fight for them. Right. Connell a lot of the stuff, a lot of the talk where they run him down is the same Old Washington establishment. The people he beat in the primary, the people he beat in the november election, theyre still upset he won. Connell he has had tough times the last few weeks, the numbers show. That the numbers show hes had tough times politically. If you look at big picture and a lot of data. Forget about if Mark Zuckerberg is going run, what does he have to do to be successful next time . Raise the job approval. You cant accept a lot of the polls as good polls because most of them dont tell you the number of republicans, a lot have the republicans in the mid 20s when election day is 33 . Connell numbers are lower than they need be. Rasmussen poll they had him at 43 from the high 30s j say he is higher, even if he is
