The president is going to make an appeal to democrats. If we are going to do infrastructure, we need to do it in a bipartisan way. Rick some lawmakers including republicans are calling on congress to pass legislation to protect special counsels, including mule i ares investigation into possible russia meddling. Rich, the white house hoping to build on last years tax overhaul. What you have in the president s state of the Union Address is an overview of what the administration is asking congress to do. The same is the case with immigration, thoughth the white house has floated its first immigration proposal and the democrats have rejected it so far. The white house has a plan to offer a path to citizenship for socalled dreamers. Those brought to the United States illegally as children. The white house wants an end to socalled chain migration and the visa lottery. The president will also discuss the economy, trade and security. After the speech the official says the cabinet officials will fan out across the country to sell the president s message. Rick what are you hearing about reports that r the president wanted to fire Robert Mueller. The reports are he wanted to fire the special counsel. And the only reason he didnt was that the white House Counsel said he would resign if he did. Robert mueller is still the special counsel. Don mcgann is still the white House Counsel. There will be democrats and republicans saying time to protect the judicial system. If c three branches of governmet have an equal power, absolutely. Reporter the democrats are pushing legislation that would curb the president s ability to get rid of the special counsel. That does have bipartisan support i among members of congress but the leadership seems reluctant to bring that up for a vote. Rick there is a report today that iran has released an american from prison for four days. If he cannot leave iran in the next four days ellen out of prison. His on says my far it is in poor health. I. The state Department Officials say the United States has been negotiating with iran to release the americans it holds captive. Iran is also holding his on. The state department is calling on iran to release the several americans it still imprisons. Rick for more on the president s state of the Union Address, jeff mason joins us from reuters. As the l. A. Times put it he can sweephe controversy aside ad beam his accomplishments directlyon to living rooms acros the country. On the night of state of the union, it gives him an opportunity to set a tone, perhaps a new tone, some of the white house officials briefing reporters about that speech say he plans to use an uplifting tone. Thats aup bit of a shift for a president who many see sometimes as speaking divisively. Rick you believe that tone is critically important. Itt is. If he wants that state of the Union Address to lead to progress, for example, infrastructure, and immigration, he needs to set a tone that is appealing or has some kind of resonanceas with both democrats and republicans in that room, and elsewhere in the country. People who can write their lawmakers and say we saw the president speak, we support this particular policy be it on Infrastructure Spending or anything else. Rick he said he wants to spend 1 trial on infrastructure, and i assume he will need help from democrats to m make that happen. He might face scepticism fm his p own party on that. Its 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 mercedes schlapp. The president is going to speak from his heart. Hes going to bring an optimistic message to all americans. This is about patriotism, this is about a safe, strong and proud america. We look forward to tuesday for the president to talk about jobs, infrastructure and nationalal security. Rick he does have the economy which is doing incredibly well. The president likes to talk about the fact that the stock market has taken off. He likes to talk about the fact thatat unemployment is low. This will be part of the victory lap aspect of the victory lap. Last year wasnt technically considered a state of the union. This is his First Official stae of t the Union Address and it comes after a year in which he can tout his accomplishments. So no doubt he will talk about that. You will have, however, some people objecting to not only tax reform, but also claims of credit for the economy that has moved in the direction it has since he came in. There are some who say a lot of that was set in place by the previousvi administration. Rick there is a new fox news poll that says more voters are rating the economy for positivelyca than they have in o decade. This fox news poll has is telling us the Trump Administration clearly made the economy better. Thats what people are saying. The number in that poll would no doubt be welcomed by the white house, and something you will continue to hear about from the president , his cabinet officialss and white house advisors. The economy is something they put a lot of emphasis on. The president loves to talk about it. He tells stories about meeting with people who are giving him phrase for their 401ks doing well. Its something he himself is proud of. Rick there has been a lot of news over the weekend that President Trump considered firing special counsel Robert Mueller. Ng he denies it. But lawmakers are warning him not to do it whether he said it or not. This has been a question whether president t trump would intervene to get rid of him. The reporting by the Washington Post has brought that story back into play. Rick lets listen to a couple of republican lawmakers on this topic. A mueller is doing a good job. I have confidence in him to get to the bottom of all things russia. We should have legislation protecting special counsels. I dont think there is a need for legislation to protect Robert Mueller. Right now there isnt an issue so why create one when there isnt a place for it. Ug thats narrowing down the conversation on whether legislation is required. The broader issue is whether President Trump seriously considered firing mueller and if thatsth something hes continug to consider. Thats a concern for democrats and republicans. It would have a huge impact in trust in him as president from his own party and the Opposition Party if he were to intervene. Rick he says he didnt say the, and Robert Mueller is still the special counsel. The president and his opponents have major differences, so where can they find Common Ground . Meanwhile, President Trump will try to make his case for more u. N. Action against iran tomorrow. Hes scheduled to have a working lunch with diplomats. The u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley will be there to show her colleagues wreckage from a Ballistic Missiles she saysme iranback rebels fired. An update to a massive and horrific surprise attack in kabul, afghanistan.

Democrats are calling on the rnc to return any money theyve received from the billionaire pointing out that republicans called on democrats to return money they received from harvey weinstein.
