And i used to talk about wages going down, not going up, but going down for years, 19 years and now they just went up 3. 2 and yet theres no inflation because other things are going down like the price of your gasoline at the tank. Its low. And that doesnt happen by luck. I work hard on that. Thats like a tax cut for people. So a lot of good things are happening. Labor Participation Rate increased to 63. 1. Thats an incredible number also. I just wanted to bring that out. The economy is very good. Remember, from the time of my election, the stock markets gone up very close to 30 , and thats with all. Things that are happening, and there are a lot of things happening. We have a massive trade negotiation going on with china, president xi is very much involved, so am i.

The democrats is driving the morningafter debate. We are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. [ booing ] america was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination and control. We are born free and we will stay free. [ cheers and applause ] tonight, we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. We begin the hour right there with the president s state of the union, bipartisan wishes overshadowed by bipartisan thumps and the biggest pressing question, no guarantees the government wont shut down again in just ten days. The big annual stage is the chance for the president to offer us a road map, but look and listen for some clear direction on how to resolve the border wall dispute and avoid another Government Shutdown. Now is the time for congress to show the world that america is committed to ending illegal immigration. In the past most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall never got buil

We begin right now with breaking news as we wait to hear testimony from special Counsel Robert Mueller on his investigation, another investigation seems to be gaining steam in new york, this one snergt on tcentering on the gnawing raft. They are going through a large number of documents and the record 107 million in donations it received. This is an investigation that largely stems from information gathered at least in part in the Michael Cohen raids. Based on your reporting, what does this mean for that investigation .

Korean diplomacy on track and an indictment long in the making here at home. The u. S. Justice department unsealing charges against the wikileaks founder Julian Assange, charges that have been kept secret or close a secret for more than ten years. The details are very well known. Assange and wikileaks publishing nearly a million classified documents about americas wars in iraq and afghanistan as well as secret state department cables. Assange defenders say hes a journalist and his supporters say a big chill on a free press. This precedent means that any journalist can be extradited for prosecution in the United States for having published truthful information about the United States. This is journalism. Its called conspiracy. Its conspiracy to commit journalism. But in the indictment, u. S. Prosecutors say that even if assange could be considered a journalist, he crossed the line into lawbreak when he conspired with a u. S. Army private to crack a government password to steal more clas

Today is the president s 73rd birthday and he decided to phone up his favorite tv network, and in that interview, in that clip that we just heard, we tried to walk back, try to clarify his early comments. How do you think he did . Well, it seems like he was trying to have it both ways there. He both walked it back and then also doubled down on it claiming that hes gotten so much support for that comments when it seems the opposite has been true, when the condemnation was fast and swift and the right answer is you do not accept information from a Foreign Government, but the presiden
