you get a high level of growth that i don t think we are going to have. or you raise taxes. and so while a lot of what he said is popular, these are his campaign promises. steve: right. when the rubber meets the road, i leave last night s speech thinking i m not sure how he is going to get any of it done. steve: okay. that s the real question i think this morning. steve: lisa you would admit as he takes the keys to air force one this last month and a half he did inherit a mess, right? president trump is in more particularly and precisely critical of president obama for leaving him a mess in the middle east. that s something that president obama has been criticized by his own former military leaders for failing to leave a status of forces agreement in iraq. giving rise to isis which we have seen in iraq and sierra and elsewhere in the world. we have seen at least 143 directed or inspired attacks by isis in at least 29 different countries. president trump did indeed inherit a mess.
against terror mean we are finally ready to take on isis by identifying it here? let s have a little debate. we have fox news contributor washington examiner and contributor lisa booth screen left and fox news contributor and former state department spokeswoman marie harf. marie, good morning to you. hi. lisa, same to you. your former boss barack obama when he was president of the united states in an occasion like that would never use the term radical islamic terror but the new president did. what did you think about that? there is nothing magic about those three words. and they are not a strategy. they are a talking point. i would also point out that president trump s new national security advisor had specifically said he doesn t like that terminology because it alienates a lot of people that we actually need to work with us in defeating isis. you know, in the obama, we had a strategy in place, it s the strategy they are still operating under by the way. we went really aggressiv

[applause] ainsley: how will that work? does he need to spend more money? congressman sean did you havey and rachel will be here next. brian: president trump shows us his most treasured item in his oval office. it s not what you think. steve: i bet it was that picture.

from general mattis or secretary mattis. and i think that s really important. because here we have a guy who has been sort of uniformly praised for being this brilliant military strategist and someone who formally as recently as 2013 served as the head of centcom. this is a guy infinitely familiar with the middle east and concerns we faces a a country. steve: let s movie on. here is another sound bite from last night where donald trump, the new president of the united states, talks what exactly he has got to deal with. in the last 8 years the past administration has put on more new debt than nearly all of the other presidents combined.lost more than one fourth of our manufacturing jobs since nafta was approved. and we have lost 60,000 factories since china joined the world trade organization in 2001. our trade deficit in goods with the world last year was
