Orders. For that lets go to the north lawn and john roberts who joins us now live from the white house. John, what is this all about . Reporter bill, good afternoon to you. The president will be signing in the next couple of minutes. Were just waiting for tape to come back. Couple executive orsd, one from the Obama Administration era. Called the waters of the united states. Basically what the president is going to do is to ask the Justice Department appealing to the court to put a Current Court case regarding that waters of the u. S. Executive order that was promulgated under an Obama Administration on hold while its reviewed here at the white house and the epa. It looks like the president wants to rescind the whole thing. He thinks it was way of an overreach by the Obama Administration. But he doesnt want the court to go ahead with this while theyre reviewing it, so hes going to ask the courts to put that in advance. The other executive or would bring the black colleges and Universities Initiative inside the white house. Its been residing inside the department of education. President trump believes some of the momentum gets lost within the department of education. He thinks it could be far more effective if he brings it under the white house roof. As to the speech tonight, its being built as a renewal of the american spirit. The president will be talking ant, quote, Real Solutions for real problems, experienced by real people. A lot of this is going to be aimed at the middle class and the challenge that people face and trying to make their childrens lives better than the lives they had. Talk about bringing jobs back for them. Also it will be aimed at people in poor and vulnerable communities, to let them know that help is on the way. Lot of the speech is going to be focused on national security, rebuilding the military will be part of that. At the center of all of that, the president s announcement yesterday that he plans to seek a 54 billion increase in the department of defense budget. He talked about that earlier on fox and friends. Listen. Well, were gonna spend a lot more money on the military. We have to. We have no choice. Lot of people think its a tremendous amount of money. It could be 30 billion more than that. Were going to upgrade our military. Remember this. I also am gonna get involved in negotiating. Reporter he hrr has been heavily involved in negotiating, talking with the ceo of lockheed about the strike fighter. President said he has saved 700 million on that contract so far. Also talking about the air force one replacement fleet and capping costs at 4 billion for that when he got together with the chairman and ceo of boeing. Lot of tonights speech, lot of it will be aimed at the American People. Some of it will be aimed at members of congress with whom the president has to work if he wants to get his legislative agenda passed. It will be really interesting tonight, bill, to watch the body language in that room. Bill it certainly will. That will be half the story. Thank you, john. President trump taking blame for the bumpy roll out of his immigration policy. He said this. Do you think its not been communicated effectively . I dont think so. Maybe its my fault. People dont realize, he deported a lot of people. But were focused on the bad people. Were focused on the drug lords and the gang members. Were focused on a very very bad group that are in this country that were getting out rapidly. Bill lets bring in the president and founder of the Democratic Network and former bill clinton adviser. Political consultant for fire house strategies. Take a little bit of blame for the messaging. Take it up with 35,000 feet. Do republicans go nuts tonight . Do democrats sit on their hands . What is your expectation . Id be surprised if theres not a moment similar to what we saw with republicans. Whats the incentive for democrats to behave nicely tonight . As youve seen in the town halls over the last week the Democratic Base wants a fight. Theres going to be about 200 democrats, one of them is gonna give their base what they want. I doubt it. I dont think so. I think the democrats are going to be grinning and bearing it all the way, gritting their teeth, hoping to get through it as quick as they can. I do think youre going to hear a lot of enthusiasm from republicans in the hall. Bill you do . Yeah. Bill theres something in this for you, too. Infrastructure. Thats something democrats would like. You can see a little hand of agreement reached on that, could you not . There havent been that many olive branchs so far coming from the trump white house. Certainly, i think democrats have done a good job when weve been in the white house as stewards of the economy. Are going to be holding the president to account. We want a strong plan that creates growth. If infrastructure is part of that plan, we will be for it. Were looking for the plan. Bill what he said is were going to get the bad people out and suggested president obama deported a lot of people, too. That is factually true. What did you think about just to pick up on his comment there about the messaging and perhaps hes to blame . Im a communicator. I feel like whenever things go badly the communicators are the first ones to get blamed. Its not a communications per se. They didnt have the legal argument. It wasnt a Public Relations problem. So now tonight if theyre gonna issue new executive orders, he needs to make a policy case for why this will make the country safer. Lot of americans i dont think are convinced that banning immigrants from seven muslim majority countries will make this country safe. The dhs in reports said it would not make us safer. Tonight it is income ben on the president to lay out not just what hes going to do, but why. Bill some of Donald Trumps guests tonight on the immigration front will be jessica davis, susan oliver, widows of California Police officers killed by an illegal immigrant. Also the father of a High School Football star who was killed by an illegal immigrant. He spoke at the rnc in cleveland. Do we have that, guys, from july . If we have it, well roll it. This was his message in cleveland just about six months ago. Only trump mentions americans killed by illegals. Trump will put america first. Bill that from july. Brett bayer is reporting the lunch thats on going with the president some of the Network Anchors that President Trump said its time to push for an immigration bill where theres compromise on both sides. He will push for that tone in the speech and more to come on that. Then what is more to come . On immigration . Listen, hes already done a lot, right . Hes come out very aggressively. He even called the deployment that hes doing with dhs to be a military style deployment domestically. Thats one of the reasons people may be getting a little confused. Hes using military style language to describe what hes doing. From a democratic standpoint my beef with the president on this stuff is hes exaggerating the threat. Im not saying that terrorism isnt a threat or that undocumented immigrants shouldnt leave the country, but native born americans have higher crime rates than immigrants. Weve had no increase in undocumented immigrants in ten years in america. Theres been no foreign fighter attacks in the u. S. Since 9 11. If you want to get something done, both sides are going to have to give. Thats the point of the message i was just reading. I was very involved in the 2013 immigration bill when i was working for marco rubio. That bill failed because at the end of the day congress did not believe the executive branch was serious about securing our borders and applying the laws. If trump can convince congress that he is serious about border enforcement, that does open some very exciting potentials to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Its a very tough issue. I wouldnt bet on it, but the fact that he is talking about it, for anyone that supports immigration reform, should see the opening there and should be saying, look, its a long shot but its more than most people were thinking. Bill thanks to you. Nice to see you gentlemen in person. Have fun tonight. Bill in a moment well talk to the House Majority leader kevin mccarthy. Hes live meeting with the president this afternoon, in fact. Well ask about plans for the budget and boosting military spending. That will be a big part of his speech later tonight. And how congress will work with the president on health care. Stay tuned. Also new jersey congressman bill pascell always sitting on the aisle when the president addresses congress. He was there four straight state of the union addresses. Will it be the same tone for him . And fellow democrats, we will find out when we talk to him live.

So war of words between President Trump and House Minority leader nancy pelosi. Shes criticizing the president s first month in office and he fired back in turn. I have been watching nancy. I think shes incompetent if you look at whats going on with the democrats and the party. Its getting smaller and smaller. Bill that from earlier today on fox and friends. Pelosis aide responding this way, quote, in classic fashion the plt is projecting his incompetence onto others instead of calling people names he should focus on how hes going to grow the American Economy and live up to the promises he has made to the American People, end quote. Lets talk to a democrat. Bill paskrell is with me from the hill. Sir, thank you for your time. I know its a superbusy day. Thank you for being here. You were on the rope line. I think they call them aisle hogs, for four years in a row with president obama. So where will you be tonight when President Trump walks in that room . I will be sitting, in due respect, on the house floor. I dont know where i will be sitting. I will not take an aisle seat. I went to the president s inauguration, in due respect. So thats who i am. Bill why not hang out in the aisle . Its great face time. And you get a few, get a few moments there with the president. I didnt do it for face time when i sat close to the aisle or on the aisle. I did it to hello to the president and tell him some beautiful words that i never had the chance to tell him. He would tell me back. We had a good relationship. And who knows, maybe in a few years ill have that kind of relationship with the sitting president. I doubt it. Bill your constituents though, they proudly would like an infrastructure bill. Theyd like to see some improvements made in the state of new jersey. Why not take the opportunity to have a few words with him about that . A person who has 20 years for infrastructure having been on previous i can appreciate that. But what i dont support is privatizing our roads and our airports. Thatly not support. Theres no question we need an infusion of money. We got to find a way to pay for it. We just cannot build the deficit any greater than it is right now. Weve been working on it for the past three years. We can work on it this year. Bill thats gonna come up tonight. Well see what we do. Because washington never gets smaller. This town only grows larger and larger. I know a big topic in this town is this whole russia deal. House Speaker Paul Ryan today offered the following comment about evidence or lack thereof as this investigation stands. Take a listen to this right here. We have an on going investigation. Im not going to get ahead of that investigation. We have seen no evidence so far based upon the investigations that have already been conducted. There was an Intelligence Community investigation last year. The House Republicans have been doing an investigation for quite a while on russia itself through the Intelligence Committee and we have a bipartisan investigation through the house Intelligence Committee bill do you think this goes anywhere . No evidence so far. They want to investigate the leakers as well. How big of a deal is this, do you think . The Ranking Member on intelligence said we just started the investigation on the house committees. Lets give it a chance. Secondly, i do believe in an independent review, if not an independent prosecutor. This is what we did in 9 11. Its very significant. Nothing can compare to that tragedy. But its very significant in terms of the history of this country. We need to find out the truth. Thats why i have been pushing for seeing the president s tax returns. Im not gonna give up on that. Bill i know you arent. How do you think hes doing so far 35 days in . Well, if it was jobs jobs jobs during the campaign. It certainly hasnt been since hes taken over. I realize bill hes done a little bit of that, you know. We passed several deregulation bills that are hurting americans. When they find out what those bills are, i think theyre going to be an uproar. Whether its peoples health, whether its guns. Hes the house here. The house. This is not an antitrump thing. This is something about what the republicans stand for in values and what we stand for. Thats what it comes down to. Bill he would argue lot of that stuff is holding back business. We will see how this does here. Im out of time. Thank you for yours. Well see you on the aisle tonight, okay. Bill pascrell. Dont bet on it. Bill i know youve got a big heart. Divisions in the Republican Party over how to replace obama care. Two republican senators have a new plan. Well talk to one of them about that next. Also President Trump pointing the finger at his predecessor for leaks in town. All protests. Marthas gonna weigh in on those comments in tonights big speech. Do not miss the reunion live here in a few moments in washington, d. C. You dont let anything keep you sidelined. Thats why you drink ensure. With 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. For the strength and energy to get back to doing. What you love. Ensure. Always be you. When i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. I just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. My Insurance Company definitely doesnt have that.

Our goal, without a doubt, is that all customers are satisfied before they leave. Bill back here live in washington, Nations Capital there. The clouds are moving in. Other than that its been a stunning day here as we get ready for the main event in primetime tonight. President donald trump, joint session of congress behind us here. Major divisions are growing among republican lawmakers. Theyre working on a plan to repeal and replace obama care. Its not easy. But two republican senators have a different idea for reform. That gives some of the power back to the states, thats in their plan. Louisiana senator one of the sponsors of the Cassidy Collins patient freedom act is here. Nice to see you, sir. Thank you, bill. Bill your town, mardi gras. I have got my tie on. Bill nice touch there. You told me two weeks ago that part of the reason youre building the tax credits into your plan is that when people know the money theyre spending, there are a lot more aware, they take notice of it and thats a way to cut cost. Is that the fundamental difference with your plan . Every plan on the republican side has a tax credit that goes to the individual. All of our plans give the power to the patient. We all fund Health Savings accounts. We prefund them in the Cassidy Collins plan. Now, the advantage of that, under obama care there is a 6,000 deductible, someone of low income making 15,000 a year is not gonna come up with 6k. On the other hand, we prefund with our tax credit. So someone who takes their daughter to the Urgent Care Center has the dollars in the account to pay for the visit to the Urgent Care Center. Bill you have a plan, senator rand paul has a plan, Mitch Mcconnell is quote as saying there is not agreement among republicans on what you replace obama care with. I imagine you would agree with that right now. That there is not an agreement. Theres an agreement on broad principles. But when you want legislation you have to get down to the n teu ty gritty. There may be some philosophical questions going on. Bill nancy pelosi thinks you will fail in this effort and said it on sunday this way. Just watch. The republicans have been banging a
