Big moment, big opportunity and kind of a different side to mr. Trump. Everybody is talking about the tone and how different it was from the tone of the inaugural address just about a month ago. Of course, the president s speech is our top story this morning. Mr. Trump spoke for a little bit more than an hour, outlining his vision for the country. While defending his administrations controversial policies with that noticeably softer tone. Our Political Team is ready to break it down. Well get reaction from Vice President mike pence, and one of the Top Democrats on capitol hill, senator Chuck Schumer. Lets talk with nbcs peter last at the white house. Reporter aides a celebrating the speech as a grand slam. Theyre supposed to do that. The reviews have been positive because the speech was traditional. Many branding it the best of mr. Trumps short political career. The president calling on democrats and republicans to work with reinvest in america. In President Trumps first address to congress, a familiar America First theme but a strikingly more measured tune. Im here to deliver a message of unity and strength and its a message deeply delivered from my heart. Reporter the president out of the gate denouncing recent threats to jeweish centers and schools as well as last weeks murder of an indian man. We may be a nation divided on policies we stand united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms. Reporter hours after signaling what would be a major policy shift, an openness to a pathway of legalization for undocumented immigrants. A vague promise of Immigration Reform. Real and positive Immigration Reform is possible. Reporter mr. Trump ordering the department of Homeland Security to create a new office committed by immigrants. Drawing loud growns from democrats. Reporter the offipresident n vowing to replace the imploding obamacare disaster. Obamacare is exploding and we must act to protect all americans. Reporter mr. Trump offering an optimistic message.

That generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will the future against our enemy. Ryans legacy is etched into eternity. Reporter the bipartisan ovation lasting for nearly two minutes. That was a powerful moment last night. President trump was much more disciplined, largely steering clear of the controversies that have weighed heavily on his presidency. No mention of russia, a single criticism of the media. With white house officials here reveling in the reviews this morning, aides tell me the president s revised travel ban is being delayed. Peter, thank you. Chuck schumer is with us. I know it was a late night. Good morning. Before we get to the substance of the speech, lets talk about this decisive change in the president s tone. Is this a kinder gentler donald trump . Do you buy it . N with this president , more than any other, his speeches are detached from reality. He and his campaign and even his inaugural speech he talks to the working people of america. For the last 40 days his actions have been on the side of the special interests. Infrastructure. We havent seen a plan. Democrats for a month have put a plan on the schedule on the ground. He hasnt talked a thing about infrastructure. His advisors say next year. Trade. He had great example to do something on trade. Called cho called china a currency manipulator. Education, medical senator one more. The swamp. Hes going to clean the swamp when he has a cabinet of billionaires and wall street that brought a groan let let us get back on unity. You didnt find a lot of reasons to stand and cheer. Give me one thing where you found yourself saying yes, i can get behind him on that issue. Hes given a whole lot of speeches. Weve seen that the speeches and the reality dont match. Ill say yes when he comes up with something that helps working people and says i want to work with democrats in an hour, you didnt hear one thing that you can stand behind this morning . Look, i was touched by the mention of the widow of the brave soldier who died in yemen and things like that. But, no. Its hard to see any place where the president actually has done something for working people. Senator you know, a speech has a shelf life. People forgot his inaugural speech. He had 40 days, very difficu like his speeches. I predict the same thing is going to happen. This speech will be forgotten in a day or two. Wheres the action . Wheres the actual doing things to help working people . Thats what we want. Lets talk about Immigration Reform. A big issue. He campaigned on it. He signaled an openness to a compromise. Earlier in the day was reported to have said perhaps even a pathway for undocumented immigrants to have legal status, would that be sufficient for you to get a deal done . Well, again, weve been to this movie before. This is the third time in the last month he has mentioned he might be for some kind of Immigration Reform. His advisors and base made him pull it back. Its so typical, the national reporters, he mentions this. His speech, tone is totally antiimmigrant. This is what america is up against. A president who says one thing bu thats why his administration has such trouble. Listening to all youre saying, doesnt it surprise you that a poll that says that seven in ten americans say they ended feeling more optimistic as opposed to less optimistic. Speeches has a shelf life. Everyone has forgotten his inaugural speech. Hes got to do something. Not for special interests as hes been doing but for working people. Plain and simpsult. Thanks to being with us. Well hear from Vice President mike pence joining lester in our next half hour. Lets focus on the major take aways from the president s address with todays fact check. We turn to kristin welker, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. Like most big speeches there was a lot of soaring rhetoric tuesday night. Our fact check shows some of the president s statements didnt add up. Including on some of jobs and the economy. President trump laid out his vision for the country tuesday. One of his top promises creating more jobs. Arguing millions are out of work. 94 million americans are out of the labor force. Reporter that figure may be overstated. Right now the Unemployment Rate is just 4. 8 with roughly 7 million looking for a job. The 94 million includes people who are not looking for work like students, stay at home parents and retired americans. Still, mr. Trump pushed forward on the issue of j creation. Citing his recent call for construction of Oil Pipelines here in the united states. We have cleared the way for the construction of the keystone and Dakota Access pipelines. Thereby creating tens of thousands of jobs. Reporter a look at the numbers tells a different story. The Dakota Access pipeline is nearly the state Department Says keystone could create a maximum of 16,000 temporary direct jobs. The number of permanent jobs created due to the ystone pipeline is just 35. Since my election, ford, fiat chrysler, intel, walmart have announced they will invest billions of dollars in the united states. And will create tens of thousands of new american jobs. Reporter the president taking credit for Business Decisions that were largely made prior to his election. And on his call to boost military spending by 54 billion. I am sending congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the defense sequester. Reporter the white house has said theyll pay for that by slashing domestic programs. But democrats and some republicans argue without reforming entitlements like social secty wont add up. Finally this adlib line is getting attention. I can tell you, the money is pouring in. Very nice. Reporter the reality, in 2016, four countries met the required payment standards. That money goes to nato or to beefing up the military of its member countries. Not surprisingly the president repeat a familiar republican talking point that obamacare is collapsing. Democrats and republicans have plenty of arguments supporting or knocking down that assertion. Take your pick. The key question, will republicans be able to keep their promise and continue coverage for the 20 million americans who have Health Coverage who didnt before . Kristin welker at the white house, thank you very much. Let us bring in nicole wallace. Good morning to you. Good morning. Let me take you back 40 days to the inaugural dress. The line that came out of that whats the line from last night that will set the tone for the next several months . The line that will be replayed over and over again is the promise that what is behind us are the trivial fights. Trivial fights is what he engaged in on twitter all day every day. We talked about in there was an intervention where he live and dies by his feedback loop. Republicans were pleased at his performance last night are asking themselves can he sustain it. Do his supporters want him to . Do they want to see this version . They do. This is very comforting. Not just to the Establishment Republicans who have been doing hammering for the last 19 months. They want him to bece agenda. A lot of democrats dont trust what they saw last night. One of the reasons could be all they have to do is go back a week and listen to the kind of message steve bannon delivered at cpac. Do you think he deserved credit where credit is do . He made democrats uncomfortable who will have a hard time opposing massive infrastructure spending. And republicans in the congress who may be on the fence with his conservative creds. Hes nominated a credible Supreme Court justice and talked the talk last night on healthcare and other issues. All right. Nicole, thanks very much. Appreciate it.
