Reporter in the second full year of the president s administration. Infrastructure is a large part of that. Officials hope they can get a number of democrats on board with that. The same is theication with immigration, though the white house floated immigration proposal of the last couple of weeks, and democrats rejected it so far. The white house has a plan to offer a pathway to citizenship for 1. 8 million called dreamers, those brought to the United States illegally as children. The administration wants in exchange border wall funding and end to chain or family migration and the diversityvisa lottery system.

Senior official involved in the state of the Union Planning says the president will discuss trade and security, and transportation officials fan out across the country and celt president s message, rick . Rick what are you hearing about the reports that the president wanted to fire Robert Mueller . Reporter the white house wanted to deal with that as well. Reports claiming the president wanted to fire special counsel, and the only reason he didnt is because don mcghan threatened to resign over that. The white house spent the day addressing that. Im not aware the president ever intimating he wanted to fire Robert Mueller. Keep in mind a couple things, Robert Mueller is still the special counsel. Don mcghan is head of white House Counsel office, taxpayers spent millions and millions not proven collusion thus far with russia. There will be democrats and republicans saying times will protect the judicial system and the three branches of government have equal power. Absolutely. Reporter democrats and republicans are pushing legislation right now that would allow or curb the president s ability to fire, get rid of or change the special counsel. Thats something that does have support among bipartisan members of congress, though leadership, Congressional Republican leadership seems reluctant to bring that up for a vote.

The state department is calling on iran to release the several americans it imprisons. Rick rich edson at the white house. For more on the president s first state of the Union Address, we bring in jeff mason, correspondent for reuters. Good to be with you. Rick as the l. A. Times put it, he can sweep turmoil aside and beam accomplishments directly to living rooms across country . Yeah, thats absolutely the case and, in fact, despite having the bully pulpit that the president does year around, on the night of the state of the union, he really has a the love eyeballs on him, and those are eye balls both in this country and abroad, so its a chance for him to reset if he wants to reset by talking about the issues he cares about. Its about it gives him an opportunity to set a tone, perhaps, a new tone, some of the white house officials briefing reporters about that speech, said he planned to give use an uplifting tone and thats a bit of a shift for a president many see as speaking deviceively. Rick you believe that tone is critically important . It is. If he wants that state of the Union Address to lead to progress on the issues he wants to move on and policy. For example, infrastructure. For example, on immigration, he needs to set a tone that is appealing or has resonance with both democrats and with republicans in that room. And elsewhere in the country, who you know, people who can write their lawmakers and say look, we saw the president speak, we support this particular policy. It be on Infrastructure Spending or anything else. Rick hes expected to say he wants to spend one trillion dollars on infrastructure, and i assume he needs help from democrats to get that money and make it money . Absolutely will need money from democrats. He might face skepticism within his own party on that. Its a big price tag. Issue of infrastructure has bipartisan support, something both parties have shown interest in, but getting the money to pay for it will be the big question. Rick we want to get to a sound bite from the white house direct offer Strategic CommunicationsMercedes Schlapp on the state of the union. I want to play that sound and have you react to it. Okay. The president is going to speak from his heart. Hes going to bring an optimistic message to americans, this is about patriotism, a safe, strong and proud america and look forward for the president to talk about Top Priorities including jobs, infrastructure, trade, immigration and National Security. Rick a lot of ground to cover, obviously. But does have the economy, which is doing incredibly well, right now is. The economy is absolutely doing well, and the president likes to talk about that. He likes to talk about the fact that the stock market has really taken off. He likes to talk about the fact that unemployment is low, and this will be part of the victory lap aspect of the state of the Union Address, which he can do this year, he couldnt really do that last year, and last year wasnt technically considered a state of the union when he addressed the congress. This is his First Official state of the Union Address and comes after a year which he can tout accomplishments, including tax reform, which economists have said is going lead to even more economic improvement. So no doubt he will talk about that, you will have, however, of course, some people objecting to not only tax reform but claims of credit for the economy that has moved in the direction that it has since he came in. There are some who will say a lot of that was set in place by the previous administration. Rick perhaps no surprise, jeff, a new fox news poll that finds voters are rating the economy positively today than they have in nearly two decades and giving the president credit for this. Trump administration saying one third says the administration has not made a difference as you see there. This fox news poll is telling thoughts Trump Administration clearly has made the economy better. At least thats what the people are saying . And those are numbers and from that poll, the numbers in that poll are no doubt ones that would be very welcome by the white house, and i think something that you will continue to hear about from both the president , his cabinet officials and white house advisers. The economy is something they have put a lot of emphasis on and want to continue to see improve, and as i said before, the president loves to talk about it. He tells stories about meeting with people who are giving him praise for 401 k s, doing well. Its something he himself is very proud of. Rick as you know, jeff, a lot of news over the weekend about the possibility that President Trump had considered firing special counsel Robert Mueller. He denies it. But there are lawmakers warning him not to do it, whether he said it or not. You know, this is an issue that has come up as long as the special counsel has been involved in this investigation. The question of whether or not President Trump would intervene to get rid of him, and the reporting by the Washington Post over the weekend is absolutely brought that story back into play. Go ahead. Rick lets listen to a couple of republican lawmakers, Lindsey Graham and Kevin Mccarthy to react and talk about it. Mueller is doing a good job, i have confidence in him to get to the bottom of all things russia. I think it would be good to have legislation protecting all special counsels. I dont think theres a need for special counsel to protect mueller. If theres an issue that arrives, well take it up at that time. Theres not an issue, why create one when there isnt a place for it. Rick your thoughts on that . Narrowing down the conversation to whether or not legislation is required. The broader issue is the question of whether or not President Trump seriously did consider firing mueller and if that is something hes continuing to consider, and obviously a concern not only for democrats but for the republicans that you just played. It would have a huge impact on trust in him as president from within his own party and the Opposition Party if he were to intervene. Rick he says he didnt say it. And Robert Mueller is still the special counsel. Well bring you back to drill down the where can they find Common Ground . We will discuss it later on fox report. President trump will try to make his case against more action against iran tomorrow. He scheduled to have a meeting with diplomats. U. S. Ambassador to the u. N.
