And rare moon rising. The event more than 150 years in the making. A super blue blood moon in the sky right now, were live giving you a front row seat to this incredible sight. Good morning, america. A lot to get to this morning. George is in washington, d. C. , for that big moment for the president , his very first state of the Union Address. Yeah, amy, and, yeah, a group of us had lunch with the president yesterday before the address. The president was saying he really hoped it would be a uniting moment. Thats what he was going to try to do. But, boy, that speech he chose to give did not do the trick last night. It was about the iciest reception i have ever seen inside that house chamber. Democrats and republicans as divided as ever. And, george, the president even made news walking out of the speech. A comment he made after his address about that secret gop memo was caught on a hot mike. And a kennedy delivering the democratic response. Live, for the first time over. Well talk to joe kennedy in just a moment. George, fun being poked at him, the curse of having to give the state of the union response. It always seems to happen. This time the question was, was he wearing chapstick . Was it chapstick . Was it drool . Well talk to the congressman about that coming up. But first, jon karl starts us off. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. The white house had promised an optimistic and unifying speech. Much of the speech certainly was optimistic, but from my Vantage Point inside that chamber, this was not a speech that unified congress. For his First Official state of the Union Address, it was an upbeat, positive President Trump. The state of our union is strong because our people are strong. Reporter boasted about an american comeback. For many Years Companies and jobs were only leaving us. But now they are roaring back, theyre coming back. They want to be where the action is. They want to be in the United States of america. Thats where they want to be. Reporter and he highlighted low unemployment numbers for minorities. Africanamerican unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded. [ cheers and applause ] and hispanic american unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history. Reporter democrats just werent buying it. They spent most of the night sitting silently even as the president called for bipartisanship and unity. We all share the same home, the same heart, the same destiny and the same Great American flag. We proudly stand for the national anthem. Reporter the president laid out his priorities for the year. Some clearly designed to appeal to democrats. I have directed my administration to make fixing the injustice of high drug prices one of my top priorities. I am asking both parties to come together to give us safe, fast, reliable and modern infrastructure. Reporter and making his pitch for his immigration proposal, the president highlighted the horrific plight of two families whose teenage daughters were killed by the criminal gang ms13. Many of these gang members took advantage of glaring loopholes in our laws to enter the country as illegal, unaccompanied, alien minors. Reporter but the specifics of his plan to protect dreamers and tighten Border Security drew hisses and boos from democrats. Under the current broken system, a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives. Under our flag reporter as Congress Debates the fate of the socalled dreamers, President Trump had this message. My duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend americans, to protect their safety, their families, their communities and their right to the American Dream because americans are dreamers too. Reporter the president took a hard line on north korea, highlighting the repressiveness of kim jonguns regime with the story of this man, a north Korean Defector who was tortured and had his limbs amputated before he managed to escape the brutal regime. Today he has a new leg, but i understand, seongho, you still keep those old crutches as a reminder of how far youve come. Your great sacrifice is an inspiration to us all. Reporter as the president sketched out his immigrant immigration proposal, there was one Campaign Promise that was noticeably absent, no mention whatsoever of the second half of his most repeated Campaign Promise that mexico would be paying for the wall. George. Thanks, jon. We are joined now by the congressman who gave the democratic response, joe kennedy of massachusetts. Congressman, thanks for joining us this morning. You know glad to be with you. Watching and the president last night it seemed like you were speaking to two very different countries, any Common Ground . I think absolutely Common Ground. And, look, i think part of what i was trying to articulate last night was that theres a whole, wide series of issues and values that unite americans, the second half of my speech was trying to target. Lets focus on that idea of those values, that vision, and that runs that runs through all americans. Thats not a democrat or republican idea. What is your pitch to everyone out there who says the president s got a point, the economy is healthy, its very, very strong, my 401 k is doing pretty well and ill start feeling a tax cut next month. Its clearly youre not going to be able to deny the fact that the stock market has gone up under President Trump and obviously thats a good thing. Id point out 50 of americans dont own a single stock and 80 of all stocks are basically controlled by 10 of American Families so, if were using the stock market as a barometer for economic success for the entire american country, then im not so sure thats the right metric not just the stock market, though. Low unemployment, wages starting to go up. The tax cut will come to many working class americans. This tax cut, some parts of that tax cut are going to come to many working class americans perhaps, which are also seeing a cut to the ability to states and localities to make some of the investments there i think americans have come to expect, and youre seeing a massive increase in our debt, which is going to, one, potentially lead to massive cuts to our social safety net including, remember, we spent much of the past year trying to destroy medicaid, which is another bedrock fundamental program that Many Americans depend on in order to get health care so press pause, understand that we are at a time of robust economic growth, fine, but lets try to find a way to make sure we leverage that for the benefit of all americans and not just wholly weighted towards those at the top. You spoke directly to the dreamers last night in spanish. The president spoke about that issue as well. Laid out what he calls his compromise plan. Are we going to get a deal before next thursdays deadline . Look, so we better get a deal. This is something that i feel passionately about and i think the vast majority of americans do. The vast majority of members of congress, democrat and republican, want to solve. We have two big problems, one, up until a couple days ago, no one knew where the president was on this because he kept saying Different Things to different people. Now weve got a plan that he has articulated. That plan as he knows is a nonstarter on capitol hill so i would urge the president and his administration to if they really want a deal to sit down and start hashing out to make one rather than throwing bombs and then saying, hey, its take it or leave it. Thats not how a deal is made. Youre the first youre the first member of the Kennedy Family to give a live response to the state of the union. How did it feel . That i didnt know. Look, i had fun last night. It was an extraordinary honor for me. It was a privilege to be able to do it and particularly to be in a Community Like fall river at a school like diamond with the students there that are its a pretty special place so i was honored to be there and hope that its a message that will resonate. It is a special place. The city where i was born. One final question, you know, you couldnt completely escape the curse of the state of the union response. Twitter had a field day with your shiny lips so, did you bring your chapstick this morning . Oddly enough, i decided to go a little bit light on the chapstick this morning. More on the coffee, light on the chapstick, which is probably a wise choice. Congressman, thanks for joining us this morning. George, thank you. So, amy, he followed all the rules perfectly. He got made fun of giving the speech like everybody does and he made fun of himself the next morning. Well done, george. Thank you. Were going to move on now to new developments in the russia investigation. President trump caught on that hot mike speaking about that classified gop memo targeting the fbi. Our chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has those details from washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter amy, good morning. It certainly looks like that controversial house Intelligence Report will soon be coming out but theres also new evidence that the special counsel is locked in and wont be distracted. Abc news learning that the fbi director and Deputy Attorney general were both at the white house pleading with the white house chief of staff john kelly to prevent the release of the Republican HouseIntelligence Report before they had a chance to make sure it does not compromise classified information. Those pleas apparently ignored as the president s mind appeared made up at the state of the union. Must release the memo. Dont worry. 100 . Reporter but for now, the memo still waiting to be reviewed as new evidence emerges that the special counsel continues to aggressively look into possible obstruction of justice. Good afternoon, everyone. Reporter sources tell abc news the special counsels office in recent days has contacted the former spokesman for the trump legal team, mark corallo, apparently wanting to know why he quit after only three months. Corallo left, sources say, in part because he was concerned that some in President Trumps camp were looking to unearth negative information about bob mueller and muellers apparently interested in explosive accusations in Michael Wolffs new book, which portrays corallo as concerned about the president s role in helping write a misleading statement aboard air force one about the nature of that Infamous Trump tower meeting between Campaign Officials and a group of russians. Wolff wrote, corallo seeing no good outcome believed the meeting on air force one represented a likely obstruction of justice. In retrospect, i probably would have done things differently. Reporter the president s son said initially it was about russian adoptions but it was actually set up for the Trump Campaign to receive dirt on hillary clinton. Dirt allegedly developed by vladimir putin. White house Officials Say the trump tower meeting provided no Meaningful Exchange but a critical question, what exactly did the president know about the trump tower meeting at the time . Did the president know the real reason the trump tower meeting was being set up when he helped write that misleading statement . George. Many more questions. Thanks very much. Lets get some analysis now from mary bruce, also our chief political analyst matthew dowd and, mary, let me begin with you. The president ending that mystery, nunes memo incredibly controversial. Looks like its going to come out and will explode on capitol hill in part because they wont release the democratic rebuttal. Yes, this is incredibly divisive. Democrats have their own memo they want released. Republicans say they need more time to vet that so they wont be coming out at the same time. Overall republicans say that this memo, those republicans who want this out, say that it shows political bias that may have undermined the beginning of this investigation, may have called into question the integrity of the investigation. Democrats say its nothing more than a political hit job. While the president says he wants that out, remember, just hours before the speech last night, the white house told us the president had not seen it and had not reviewed it yet. He said its 100 . Lets talk about the speech more. Matthew dowd, you were back in the oval office yesterday, of course, you used to work for president george w. Bush, but you met with President Trump yesterday and he said something to you similar to what he was telling network anchors, he hoped this would be a unifying speech. Yeah, he related in the course of the conversation how he thought he was going to compromise on immigration and the democrats would meet him and obviously reading that speech you didnt get any sense there was any room for compromise in that. I was thinking as we were leading in about this is the big the bad blood moon thats out the blue blood moon, the last time it was visible was in the 1860s and i think we are as divided now as we were then back when that rose the last time in the United States. I think the president and even i think the democrats would be it would be smart of them to look at what lincoln said in 1862, his first joint session speech where he said the dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present. The pile of difficulties we must all meet at this occasion. I think both parties need to get out of the trench warfare and figure out a way to come together and solve these problems. Boy, it doesnt feel like it will happen any time soon, and mary, last night on immigration, sure doesnt look like a deal is possible before that deadline next week. No, certainly not a deal, tied up with a bow. They may get closer. You heard the president say what he put on the table is a fair compromise. Thats not how democrats see it. Thats not even how many republicans see it. You have this looming deadline coming. They dont really seem to be any closer to finally getting this done and, george, you have to think about all those dreamers that were in the audience last night listening to the president concerned about their fate, whether they could be facing deportation. And the president said that could happen as soon as march 5th. Thank you very much. Back to michael. Thank you. In his address President Trump mentioned the stock market surged during his first year in office but wall street is opening this morning riding its worst slump since mid2016 and Rebecca Jarvis is here and, rebecca, good morning to you. What is behind it . Good morning. Yeah, so amazon teaming up with jpmorgan and Berkshire Hathway had an impact on Health Care Companies and insurance providers because these company, amazon leading the way are teaming up to create their own independent Health Care Company and, michael, whenever amazon introduces itself getting into a new category, theres a lot of fear in the market of what that could do to the preexisting companies. We saw it in the book space when amazon got in there and crushed the competition. Always the fear theyll do it again. Afraid theyll take it over. What is the big picture impact of this drop the last two days . You look at these last 24 hour, its a drop in the bucket compared to whats happened over the last year. The dow up 31 over the last year. Worldwide stock markets have surged over the last year and if you look at that typical 401 k , over the last year, michael, it is up almost 25,000. Pretty good. Good money. For anybody who has money in the market. That helps them. Theres another big headline, apple. Yes. Under investigation slowing down the iphone. Yes, so we spoke to tim cook about this a few weeks ago when i spoke with him. The company has been facing backlash over this question of slowing down their phones in order to help with battery issues. Now, the doj and s. E. C. Are reportedly looking into it. When i spoke with tim cook he apologized and reiterated that apology from the company. All right. Thank you, rebecca. Appreciate it. Amy. All right, we move on now to the super bowl and the most closely watched gloved hand since michael jacksons. Heehee. Nice one there. Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady still covering that injured right hand just four days before the big game and t. J. Holmes is in balmy minneapolis with more on that. Hey, t. J. Hey, good morning. Im in Training Camp this morning, right . Well, its a mock one but this is a spot called the super bowl experience. A million fans expected to come through here over the next few days to test their skills as nfl players. But, yes, as you all say the talk of minneapolis continues to be i dont know how to put this tom bradys body part. He showed up wearing two gloves. Yesterday one glove on that hand injured in practice a few weeks ago and had to get several stitches but still able to lead his team to the afc championship. Hes wearing a special glove made by under armour, one of his sponsors, and the recovery continues. Hes making fashion statements at this point. He will play in all likelihood play well. T. J. , if its not bradys hand its gronkowskis head with the concussion. What do they expect by him . Hell be out there, of course, i suspect . Yeah, you expect, right. But its not up to him. He was asked specifically about it yesterday and everybody got excited. He said, yes. You remember that hit. That hard hi
