Member who wore 600 slippers. What is worth 600 besides a nice comfy pair of slippers. Pajamas. Good morning on what is turning out to be a busy morning. The president s news in a moment. First, breaking news. A deadly storm system moving into the northeast. Tens of millions are in its path and that system spawned multiple tornadoes that were in illinois. One person killed by an uprooted tree. One witness said the tornado that destroyed her house sounded like a freight train. Several buildings were also damaged including a nursing home and a factory. This really tells you how random mother natures fury can be. In missouri overnight at least one driver died on a highway in that state when strong winds picked up the junk yard and that car then struck the victims vehicle. That storm system is moving toward the northeast and there are tornado watches posted from oklahoma and arkansas all the way to ohio and also tornado warnings from northern ohio. Well track that storm throughout the morning. Of course, we do encourage you to stay safe because that is on the move. Now we want to get to President Trump. Addressing congress and the nation with a striking softer tone. The president stayed on topic as he outlined an optimistic vision for the country and touched on a wide range of issues from obamacare to immigration. And tears rolled down karen owens face as everyone in the room stood in honor of her late husband navy s. E. A. L. Ryan owens killed in yemen. Sean spicer posted this picture. Maggie rulli has more. Reporter this was a critical presidency. With just over a month in office this was his chance to speak to the American People and to congress. President trumps first address to Congress Beginning with a call for unity. Why not join forces and finally get the job done. Reporter a stark contrast to a chaotic and often divisive first month in office. A new tone for a new phase and softer tones on the harder edges of donald trump. Reporter abc news political analyst rick klein says his new phase is a way to repackage his old Campaign Themes like calling to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. To increase military spending, and build that wall. A great, great wall along our southern border. Reporter but also a shift in tone towards compromise. Over how to accomplish Immigration Reform. I believe republicans and democrats can Work Together to achieve an outcome that eluded our country for decades. Reporter the nights most emotional moment, a standing ovation for karen owens, the widow of chief petty officer ryan owens killed in action a month ago during a raid in yemen. Ryans legacy is etched into eternity. Thank you. Thank you. Reporter but during the rest of his speech democrats sat silent in defiance. Many female members of the party dressing in white to symbolize their commitment to womens rights. And also getting their chance to respond. Former democratic governor of kentucky Steve Beshear ripped into the president s plans. This isnt a game. Its life and death for people. Reporter democrats and even some republicans are now demanding answers from the president about how exactly he plans to replace obamacare without jeopardizing health care for millions. Kendis and diane. It sounds like were starting to get little leaks but no concrete answers just yet. Washington, maggie, thanks. Just 40 days ago he addressed the country at his inauguration. And covered some of the same topics, the fist bump, that different body language as well. Immigration, the military, foreign policy, we went back and watched the inauguration address again and take a listen at the contrast in tone when it comes to his vision for the future. And the crime and the gangs and the drugs, this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. A new National Pride is sweeping across our nation and a new surge of optimism is placing impossible dreams firmly within our grasp. Now, listen to the president talking about immigration then and now. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries, making our products, destroying our jobs. I believe that real and positive Immigration Reform is possible as long as we focus on the following goals, to improve jobs and wages for americans. Much more muted president , wouldnt you say, when you see the difference. The New York Daily News calling it dons reset. The white house did say this would be a really optimistic and positive speech so we saw the president at least trying to convey that message. So it appears voters also noticed the president s difference in tone. Abcs matt gutman watched with a group of people in kansas. They are mostly trump voters but all agreed that President Trump seemed more authentic. Thus far it hasnt been the most politically appropriate response to the press or to anything he said thus far but it sounded like he was the leader of the free world. He spoke eloquently. He limited his gestures, it was nice to see that kind of strong president that thus far hadnt demonstrated that. The group didnt like everything about the speech to be fair. They wanted to hear more specifics about russia and iran. Now, the big topic, of course, has been immigration and the president is set to announce his new travel ban as soon as today. The Associated Press reports that the order removes iraq from the list of mostly muslim countries whose citizens face a temporary u. S. Travel ban. The previous order disrupted travel for many people coming to the united states. It faced legal challenges almost immediately and right now remains on hold.
