Protect key industries. Revenues around the nation see in the new year hoping for happiness and prosperity in the year of the take. I feel girl welcome to the program u. S. President donald trump is preparing to deliver his second state of the union speech later is expected to challenge democrats to approve funding for the war he wants to build on the border with mexico aides say hell also call for unity and optimism but critics fear it will be difficult to overcome deep divisions of the last two years of personal attacks and animosity. As this preview of tonights speech. This state of the Union Address a grand stage for the u. S. President to. Speak directly to a National Audience about what he has accomplished and what still needs to be done but what is the state of the union after two years of trumps president see my state of the union i think and pretty good shape you know i look forward to hearing what the president has to say. Going to sort of union in the congo and everything and hopefully to. Focus a little bit more and bipartisanship working together i think its. Put the talk. In the white house and we have an incompetent. Possibly im sorry no person if they had to through executive order the same old stuff. You know money for the border. You know. And all the other stuff he wants can afford choosing greatness thats the official white health theme for donald trump address to congress you as president plans to strike a conciliatory tone and deliver a cold for unity and he speech but in many ways it might be too late the country and congress are divided along party lines and the democrats are determined to make sure that trump remains a one term president rebuilding the countrys infrastructure lowering the cost of prescription drugs these are issues both parties could agree on but instead they fight over transplant border wall the topic is expected to be front and center of trumps address to congress with no indication of either side giving an inch we will be looking at a National Emergency because i dont think anythings going to happen i think the democrats dont want Border Security and when i hear them talking about the fact that walls are immoral and will still work they know their work trump has suggested there will be a major announcement in his speech but then again he might be just trying to raise expectations ahead. The address hes difficult to predict says elaine k. Mark author and former aide to president bill clinton we dont know if hell stick to the script and also remember that behind him sit the Vice President who is by the constitution the president of the senate and the speaker of the house nancy pelosi so i dont know what kinds of expressions nancy pelosi might make as he is making this speech but that will be interesting to House Speaker nancy pelosi will be visible in nearly every camera shot her presence is evidence of the newfound power of the Democratic Party and a reminder of trumps struggles to adapt to a divided government in washington. So walk away expect from the President Trumpets and i to tyson barker is Program Director at the Aspen Institute think tank here in germany d. W. Correspondent. Joins us from washington oh well both lets start with you what do you expect. Well as we heard in the piece before he is expected to promote this traditional message of unity something that we hear in nearly every state of the Union Address but its going to be interesting to hear whether he falls into the usual political track Everyone Needs to unify but specifically behind my agenda of course we know that agenda has been extraordinarily divisive he could in fact touch on some topics that as we heard are a little more unifying between the parties topics such as infrastructure lowering Health Care Costs possibly even throwing some bones the democrats talking about things like a pathway to citizenship for children who were brought to the country illegally but the big centerpiece is going to be the talk of Border Security and funding the border wall and the thing that everyone is teasing that were hearing from various sources in the u. S. Medias reporting is whether or not hes going to declare a National Emergency in order to get funding for this border wall if he did so it would raise a whole new source of fires in the u. S. Government that we did not see even during the shutdown lets lets stay with with the wall then because the the this idea of a National Emergency this means that he can get the money from a different pawns and circumvent the house thats hes been threatening this for about a month or so now. Yes thats exactly right and its possible that he could simply sign you know whatever pieces of papers he has to sign to get that money but the threat is that people various organizations would then challenge that National Emergency in court it would also of course be immediate possibly be immediately override in the house of representatives by a vote there by the Democratic Party not to mention that its very unpopular among republican lawmakers there are many senior g. O. P. Lawmakers have come out in the past few days saying were really hoping he doesnt do this because it would tie their hands politically and leave very little room to further negotiate for future budgets future of Border Security measures future immigration packages its really a grenade in these really delicate negotiations that are just inching forward trying to avoid another Government Shutdown ok so thats thats the wall thats the big thing that everyones looking looking out for tyson buck from the Aspen Institute hes a booming economy high employment levels hes actually got good this is a president with actually quite a lot to shocked about well thats thats the real paradox here because even though we have unemployment under four percent in the United States we have stock Market Growth again after some softening in december and early january despite some level of growth he still has yet to crack the fifty percent job Approval Rating in the entire two years of his presidency so the question is why is that the case and the reason has been his political strategy all along which is to galvanize energize his base that one third of the american electorate run third of the American Public and really just aim everything at them to the detriment of the rest of the population thats why his disApproval Ratings are so high but to tack more to a unifying positive message seems a little out of character for him at this point is it thats interesting is it because the also dont say has always been its about calling me stupid i mean if you get if youve nailed that youve now. Everything but he seems to be nailing it but but as you say hes the people that like him well the other thing that is important to notice a lot of the trend lines that we see in the economy the declining Unemployment Rate the growth the stock Market Growth these are fundamentals that were in place since the Second Obama Administration so a lot of those trend lines have continued there has been some faltering we heard some statements by the fed they were looking to raise Interest Rates now theyve backed away from that but you know a lot of these things that he could theoretically take credit for are trend lines that happened before he was president. Much right is that this this is a speech that was supposed to happen a week ago but of course was delayed because of nancy pelosi in the partial Government Shutdown is that now done and dusted is that now over. Well most people certainly hope so the threat of another shutdown is very much a looming over the entire proceedings that will be happening tonight as tyson mentions it is extremely interesting that he is presiding over this economy we saw just the new estimates come out of how many jobs were created in the past month and it was really a very high number one of a record numbers but its hard for him to get his agenda through very much because of nancy pelosi who was the person who disinvited him because of the Government Shutdown she says now everyone in the government is paying lip service to the idea of not wanting another shutdown and indeed the republicans really felt the blowback from that due to just all of the hundreds of thousands of government workers who suddenly had no paycheck so theyre really hoping to avoid this the democrats have said that they dont want to use this is a Political Tool this is something Everyone Wants to avoid moving forward but if the trump doesnt get his National Emergency if he doesnt somehow get his money for the border wall its hard to see how that would be avoided again a. Point to you this this is not just about nancy pelosi this is President Trump addressing a very different house of representatives to the world that he addressed last year thats right i mean this is the first time you say its not just about nancy pelosi but she represents the top of an institution the house of representatives that will be sitting behind the president one of the things that is really important to watch in these kind of speeches is body language when does the Vice President who is the president of the Senate Finance the plough see who is the speaker of the house both rise and clap at the same time or when does the Vice President stand up and clap and then to close the remains theyre still sitting stone face hes going to hit on a lot of things obviously immigration watch for a lot of talk about abortion and prolife issues thats red meat for his base those are going to be areas where she sits there stone faced but you know she represents half of that body which is all going to be sitting there and were going to really be watching their reactions so tyson back in the spin institute to hear that you have that much weight in washington thank you thank you. Ok lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world and how the Central African republic has signed a new peace deal with fourteen armed groups that controlled much of the country i think we would seek to end years of fighting thats killed thousands of people displaced hundreds of thousands of ratified in the coming days.
