And right now, pair up those two lines with two free Samsung Galaxy s7 when you switch. Yup free. So switch and save hundreds when you go all unlimited with tmobile. You heard the president s speech. Now hear what america thinks. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. We have all the big moments from President Trumps first address to congress laying out his agenda on everything from immigration to health care to the economy to keeping americans safe at home and around the world. A different tone from the president , but will americans rally around what we heard earlier tonight . Lets get right to the senior political analyst, mark preston, mark settle zer. Mark, you first. This is an opportunity for the president to reach out to opponents, put his rocky past behind him. Lets listen to a clip first. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that help our souls and the confidence to turn those hopes and those dreams into action. From now on america will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears. Not the kind of language were used to hearing from the president. How did he do . Overall, i think he did well tonight. The bar was certainly low given past speeches. It reminded me of the speech that he gave after he was after hed won the presidency, in these Early Morning hours, quite frankly, right around this time, a couple hours past this time, where he came across as gracious to hillary clinton, and also very president ial. He sounded very president ial tonight. That one line where he said the time for trivial fights is over is ironic, because he has been the one who has started these trivial fights through his use of social media and twitter. What he was trying to con skra va is the time for trivial fights in congress is over. I dont think i would have used that line, but there was a moment where he talked about unity and glared over at nancy sploe pelosi, and the camera caught a grimace on her face that was to die for in many ways. He talked about unity, but for or viewers to say theres unity in washington you do a joint congressional speech, thats a big deal. Did he rise to the occasion . I believe he did. I think the analogy at Election Night is apt. It was a giant surprise. In some way this is speech has the same benefit of surprise. What a lot of the reactions were right after, people saying this was president ial. People sounded surprised by that. We heard on this network and on other networks, this was the first day he was truly president by acting so president ial. So by surprising people, by exceeding those low expectations, those who didnt watch live will hear about the surprise of the speech which will be an added benefit for him. And a different tone. Everyone was listening for tone. I want to play clips of tonights speech. Whats known as the american carnage speech at the inauguration. This american carnage stops right here and stops right now. That torch is now in our hands, and we will use it to light up the world. I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. For too long, a small group in our Nations Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have bjorn the cost. While they celebrated in our Nations Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across the our land. While we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining but never doing anything about it. Solving these and so many other pressing problems will require us to work past the differences of party. It will require us to tap into the american spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history. David, how did the speeches compare . Well, i think whats interesting to me as a writer, the first speech, the american carnage speech, the language is much more original. This speech many of the more optimistic passages that people have pointed to and i think the improvement in tone that many people have noticed, that said the language was very generic. It could have from a president bot. The inauguration had a world view. It wasnt particularly popular, but it was a world view. I thought it was an interesting, almost a tradeoff of a vision where it was unique and unique to trump even if people didnt like it. In exchange, he sounded like a typical politician tonight. You could argue five or six different people wrote parts of tonights speech. The way it sounded you could hear from steve bannon, some ivanka trump, some reince priebus, jared kushner. You could hear all their voices versus the inauguration speech which seemed driven by steven b bannons view. To his point, many people criticized him for the american carnage speech. But it was much more original, i think, to who donald trump is or who he has portrayed himself to be over the course of this campaign, and to davids point, and that was my assessment earlier. This did not sound like donald trump. I mean, it sounded more president ial. He said the language to him was a little more generic. I think its okay that it was a teleprompter trump versus twitter trump. Right. And i think its okay. I think its okay to be to have a generic president ial type speech. This is the type of atmosphere or setting youll see that in. Thats what people wanted from him. Thats what people wanted. Thats what republicans wanted. For him to do anything else would have hard for him. The nation and Global Leaders do too. We talked about dog whistles last hour. Matt lewis said he talked a lot about god or mentioned a couple of times could have been a dog whistle to christian conservatives. Even though hes not superspiritual, he at least referenced it a couple times. This speech was very nationalist. And there was a dhog whistle. If you look at certain phrases and how he started the speech and kind of how he ended the speech was a dog whistle to those supporters who helped him get there. And when he said also nationalists because he said p. A lot of america first. My job is to represent the not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States. And he also talked also at the top about defending we defended the borders of other nations. But we werent protecting our own borders which, again, is something that the nationalist movement is very much in line with. And also he talked about spending money overseas, foreign aide. Thats used as a diplomatic tool to prevent terrorism. Thats not uncommon to put messages in the speech that are a little more subtle to your core, your base. Weve seen a shift. When donald trump took office, he and steve bannon believed that this proud nationalism leading with that vision was going to unite the country behind this sort of economic nationalism, whatever you want to call it. Clearly that did not work. This was a false start over the first 30 days. So now theyre saying lets take the same policies. Lets repackage them to make them sound a little more conventional. But try to send some messages as you pointed out, some dog whistles to the base that says we havent forgotten about this stuff. Were talking about it in a bit of a different way. I think compared to what weve seen so far, that looks like a success. One other thing i should mention in terms of the nationalism is bringing families of people who were killed by undocumented immigrants. The number of people that was a particularly striking nationalist moment, and who you invite to these speeches is a big deal. That was not something we would have ever seen, and frankly, i think both parties would be a little bit scared about that. Theres not that far before you start to imagine bringing families who have lost a loved one and the killer happened to be of any number of minorities to a speech like that. So that was another piece that looked more like american carnage in a speech that was otherwise a little more toward the american spirit. Brian, i want to get your assessment. Youre the media correspondent. Im always surprised when people criticize you about talking act the media. Thats what your show is about. Is the quest for donald trump to stay off social media . Not to announce a new executive order and trying to push forward the travel ban on wednesday. Thats an attempt to stay on message. Were going to see mike pence on a lot of Television Shows and radio shows on wednesday trying to reiterate what trump said. So theres going to be an attempt to stay on message, but only one person can take trump off message. Thats the president himself on twitter. I sense this fear that the president is going to pick up his cell phone and send everyone off on a curveball. Its an unusual dynamic we experience here. Thank you. I appreciate it. Fascinating conversation. When we come back, you heard from President Trump said to congress and the nation. Well have our cnn reality check on the speech next. Energy is amazing. How we use it is only limited by our imagination. And at Southern Company were building the future of energy, for you. So this year, theyre getting a whole lot more.

My unit put in a special request to get one and i realized that tempurpedic was exponentially better than anything else. It gave me a huge performance advantage, it still does. Tempurpedic. This sleep is power. President trump delivering his first address to a joint session of congress with a lot to say about the state of the economy he inherited. Jim sciutto is at the magic wall with a reality check. Jim . Don, the topic, the number of americans out of work today. Heres the claim trump made tonight in his speech. Tonight as i outline the next steps we must take as a country, we must honestly acknowledge the circumstances we inherited. 94 million americans are out of the labor force. Over 43 Million People are now living in poverty. And over 43 million americans are on food stamps. So the first claim there you heard that 94 million americans out of the labor force. What are the facts . The fact is, its actually 95. Million americans who are not counted in labor force today, but lets go to the numbers a little bit deeper. The reasons why they are out of that labor force. 44. 1 million of them, nearly half, theyre retired, no longer working. 15. 4 million are disabled. 12. 9 Million People taking care of a family member, and 15. 5 million in school or in job training. As you can see, you see a significant percentage, the vast majority not in the labor force not there for a reason. Its misleading. The other claims on food stamps. He said over 43 million americans are on food stamps. We look at the numbers. Thats correct. Regarding poverty, 4 3 Million People now living in poverty today. Thats also true, but we should note that that number is down a bit. Its declined as has the food stamp number. We still rate the claim true, but we should also note the context both the food stamp and poverty numbers are decreasing in the last couple of years. All right. Jim, thank you. Mark preston is back with me, and were joined by steven moore who was a former senior economic adviser who the trump campaign. Its good to have you all on. Good morning to you both. Steve, i want to pick up with the obama care bit of this. The president didnt say how hed pay for the tax incentives. Are conservatives likely to pack that . How theyll pay for it . Yeah. Hopefully if we can get a good obama care repeal through, it will save money substantially. Obama care is something over the next decade thats going to cost well over a trillion dollars. I see it as something blowing a big hole in the budget. The problem for the republicans right now is that they have so many different plans out there that theres a lot of confusion among people in the Health Care Industry about what exactly is the plan, and what are we going to be operating under this Time Next Year . But i have to get this off my chest. Look, i dont think that those were misleading statistics that donald trump used tonight. That 94 Million People outside of the labor force, look, weve had because jobs were not plentiful, more people staying at home taking care of a parent. More people in job training programs. You have more people that have simply become so discouraged they dont even say theyre looking for a job anymore. When i was traveling around the country during the campaign, and you would tell people the media says that the Unemployment Rate is only 5 , people in a lot of states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, ohio would laugh and say what are you talking about . They would say its double that. Theres a lot of ways to look at the unemployment numbers, but most americans dont believe we have a healthy labor market. I think that what most Fact Checkers and reality checkers are saying is its misleading. Theres roughly the number 94 million americans, roughly the number of americans older than 15 that dont have jobs. It includes college, stay at home parents and millions of retired people. The number of americans who would like to work but cant find jobs is much smaller. The bureau of labor and statistics estimates that 7. 6 Million People were unemployed in january. So many people the way they do those surveys is they ask are you looking for a job. And the point that we found, and this has been the problem with the American Economy for the last seven or eight years. People are not looking for a job. You ask them why, and they cant find the job they want. Look, theres no question weve seen an improvement in the labor market over the last couple of years. Thats undeniable, but i still think when you tell people the Unemployment Rate is so low, people dont buy it. If you want a job at walmart or burger king, you can find a job, but the good paying jobs are not out there. On the issue about food stamps, it is true food stamp numbers have come down, but ive looked at the numbers. What hasnt happened is theres not a big decline in food stamps as the economy recovered. A lot of the rules about eligibility were made for lenient under barack obama so people could stay on food stamps for a longer period of time. I wish we had our reality check folks so we could get to them. I had to get that off my chest. They explain the number of People Living in poverty. The number is correct. According to the department, 43. 3 Million People use food stamps, but as for the poverty rate, the number is trending down. Mark, the president is also promising a massive tax cut. Lets listen to what he said. Right now American Companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world. My Economic Team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone. It will be a big, big cut. At the same time we will provide massive tax relief for the middle class. We must create a level Playing Field for American Companies and our workers. That is on top of 54 billion of budget increase for the military, a trillion dollar infrastructure plan and of course, the wall. Republicans are applauding like mad there, mark preston. What happened to the fiscal hawks . Its interesting. It will be interesting to hear what people say about this. Donald trump up to this point has been able to govern through executive order. He doesnt have tro go through congress to get things done. Specifically, lets take out one of the things you talked about. Take out the infrastructure element. 1 trillion through public and private investments. Republicans want to rebuild the roads and the infrastructure, however, they understand that that is a huge price to pay, and what is going to happen . What is donald trump going to do when he realizes he cant get republicans support to get a trillion dollars through. And also, quite frankly, Everything Else that he is trying to do at a time when this speech, he doesnt even talk about entitlements. When were talking about arguably which is the biggest problem right now, National Security threat to the United States, some would say j is the economy, and the fact that we have a 20 trillion debt right now. To marks point, is Congress Going to go along with this . Its a great 64 billion question. And mark is right. That is hardly a conventional republican position. To be talking about spending a trillion dollars more. And by the way, we spend a trillion dollars in infrastructure every year. I cringed when he said that. Its not the first time hes said it. Its an area where donald trump is redefining the Republican Party. Whether republicans in congress will go for that kind of spending, i dont think. One footn
