last thing before we go here tonight, what we think was a joke from the president as he signed several bills into law, rolling back obamacare, land use and other things as he walked to greet people in the room he made a comment about the piece of furniture where he was supposed to sit. it s a child s desk, but that s okay. smallest desk i ve ever seen. glamoro glamorous right? if the whole thing seemed familiar familiar this is why. may i have my desk back. yes, i ll go sit at my desk.
top of the hour, i m poppy harlow, live in the nation s capital, with special coverage as we enter our phase of donald trump s presidency. the president and first lady picking the sinatra classic, my way, for their first dance. vice president mike pence and his wife, karen, joined them. the president got straight to work signing an executive order aimed at fulfilling one of the campaign promises, rolling back obamacare. two cabinet picks, general james mattis has been confirmed. as the fight looms over the rest of his cabinet, we are covering it all live from the nation s capital and we begin right now.
it is very important. the trade deal is not done yet. very hard time. the iran/contra deal, the iran thing is not he signed off on it, it is not done by the congress yet. obamacare is falling apart by the day, by the cost. so, i mean, great this is what he s going to try and sell and he s got the white house talking point. but at the end of the day, a long ways to go before any of these are successful. you have to believe that, first of all, president obama did exactly what he said he was going to do. and secondly you have to believe you look at what he said he was going to do he was very successful. he fundamentally changed this country. people 60% of the people look at the polls did not want obamacare. that he pushed through. he pushed through immigration. he pushed through this iran deal. back door through the u.n. but he pushed look at the latest quinnipiac poll. democrats would accept syrian refugees 74 to 22%. i want to look at those people
be a way down under card to the presidential candidate. that is part of the reason that donald trump is as successful as he is, people are so angry that the president does not want to be more serious about isis and take the terrorism threat a little more urgently. that s true. and but in 57% of the country in the latest pew poll says they don t approve of the way he s handling isis, but that doesn t mean that he s going to shift gears because he s not. and now he can point to ramadi, that town in iraq, where the last town, the iraqi town i was in embedded with u.s. forces and say we lost it, took it back, my strategy is working, you just got to hang on and before you say he can t do more, and can achieve the legacy, look at what he s already done in the face of extraordinary opposition. especially on the congress. he s done obamacare. he s done the iran nuclear deal. he s done cuba. he s done the climate change. he s done the trade pac. he ll go on doing these things.
that the american people can see the contrast between the folks that are trying to solve the problem, and the folks that are getting in the way. that s what 2016 is going to be all about. congressman, you mack a lot of good points. i ll talk more about 2016 and in particular obamacare and taxes. why push them out. we ll talk about that coming up congressman price. stay with us. first off, we want to get more on this bipartisan budget deal, just the beginning of congress overcoming divisions to pass legislation or will lawmakers revert to their old ways and accomplish very little in the new year. fox news senior correspondent eric shawn joins with us that angle. good morning, everyone. it is a new year, and speaker paul ryan promises a renewed republican agenda. but with congressional approval ratings in the basement, congress has nowhere to go but up. i do want to thank congress for ending the year on a high note. and optimist in the oval office and in the speaker s chair. ne
