Trump may call for a brand new immigration bill tonight. It could offer legal status to People Living in the United States without documents if they havent committed any serious violent crimes. So, the housekeeper, or the worker in the fields would be able to stay without fear. Thats what the president told the network news anchors today at a lunch at the white house. He also told fox news republicans have a great plan to repeal and replace Affordable Care act or obamacare. The problem is Top Republicans in the senate say thats not true. The Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said today the plan is not ready according to the white house excerpts of the president plans to call on congress to repeal and replace obamacare with reforms that expand choice, increase access, lower costs, and at the same time provide better healthcare. Democrats have already given what they were calling a prebundle to the president s speech the Opposition Party often does that they say his budget plan would take an to programs that help the middle class. Democrats will give official response tonight tonight and we will give that you live after the president. Just like the state of the union the first lady have guests with her tonight they include the father of an High School Student killed by undocumented immigrant. Democrats also invited guests including socalled dreamers. The undocumented immigrants whose parents brought them to this country as children. As it turns out, they may be about to get some very good news from President Trump this evening. Also just like at a state of the union address, there is a designated survivor, one cabinet member who stays away from the capitol tonight just in case armageddon. Tonight its the Veterans Affairs secretary david shulkin. And our rich edson is outside the east front of the capitol with a preview of what we are about to hear. Good evening, shep. This is where the president of the United States lays out his Economic Vision for the future of this country, the security vision for the future of the country. It will be in the budget statement in the next couple of months that we will get the specifics to that of what the president want to accomplish and what he wants congress to accomplish. He named a couple of big themes here the president is talking bont economic side. Tax reform is key to this. The president says when it comes to the rest of the budget pieces falling together, it has to deal with lowering tax rates, making a simpler tax plan, creating Economic Growth, boosting Economic Growth and that creates a tax rev now to let did you go and do other things. The other thing, of course, is healthcare. Thats something that republicans are vowing to repeal obamacare, the Affordable Care act, same thing, and replace it with something else. This is something that Congress Needs to do. Even though republicans control both houses, getting on the same page is incredibly difficult, especially with such two difficult pieces of legislation. Shep . Shepard rich, thanks, the sergeant at arms is about to introduce the president. Lets listen. Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] shepa familiar scene for all of you familiar with state of the Union Addresses. Its walk by the posing with the president for the cameras. I must say that these peeks normally go early and people normally go in and save them early. We usually see the same faces year in and year out. This is a bit unusual as we have the first lady looking on. A. B. Stoddard is with me here in washington. She is a associate editor at real clear politics. Com and friend of the family. New scene new folks. Normally on his left are democrats. You know there are democrats who leave themself famous staying all afternoon on the well to get the seat so they can greet the president whether it was george w. Bush or president obama, bill clinton. Those democrats said tonight they werent coming. You notice more empty seats on the right aisle as we face President Trump, even some republicans filling those seats. I notice congressman Marsha Blackburn from tennessee. Greet him on the way in enthusiastically. You see all the white dresses, the democrats are wearing their suffregate white. Some people stayed home. This is what republicans are cheering over an attempt to keep it enthusiastic. Shepard that happened under george w. Bush to some degree, didnt it . Less probably than this. They still came and even if they gave tv interviews criticizing him all day, they were still there to have a big handshake. Shepard Supreme Court justices there is Sonia Sotomayor and others. We are led to believe, a. B. , that this will be inclusive and uplifting speech, mostly sticking to script. There are going to be a couple topics of great entrance, i believe to our audience. Two of them we are going to talk about now. One is immigration and a vastly different stance taken by the president right. A big surprise came today when he said it might be time for a compromise Immigration Reform package that could even include legalization. He said both sides would have to give. So, obviously, in between there all the details are quite divisive as you know. Such a polarizing argument. But this is mostly focused, i think, on tonight if he doesnt talk about a compromise immigration bill, safety and security and it sounds more president ial than we have ever heard him from the excerpts. Shepard thats what the network news anchors were suggesting today even though he has called many of the networks in attendance today fake news and enemies of the people. They had a cordial lunch which, of course, is in congress so many things are these days. After another announcement and introduction here, i will tell you about the other big item we are expecting tonight and thats on the budget. There is great controversy there as well. Listen. There you see the ladies in white. He. Thank you very much. Members of congress, i have the high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the United States. [cheers and applause] shepard first time i have seen a thank you before that these things go directly to script not tonight. The other thing that we know is coming is the matter of budget. On the budget today the suggestion was made that to pay for these as the president puts it historic increases in defense spending he would cut, among other things the state department by 37 . A matter Joe Scarborough of msnbc, a guest apparently elijah cummings, the first daughter jared curbner there cut the state department by 37 to pay for this quote historic increase in defense spending and already dead on arrival on capitol hill according to members of his own party. Now the president. Mr. Speaker, mr. Vice president , members of congress, the first lady of the United States. [cheers and applause] and citizens of america. Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our celebration of black history month, we are reminded of our nations path towards civil rights and the work that still remains to be done. [applause] recent Threats Targeting Jewish Community Centers and vandalism of jewish cemeteries as well as last weeks shooting in kansas city remind us that 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. [cheers and applause] passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice. In an unbroken chain all the way down to the present. 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. A new chapter [applause] of american greatness is now beginning. A new National Pride is sweeping across our nation. And a new surge of optimism is placing impossible dreams firmly within our grasp. What we are witnessing today is the renewal of the american spirit. Our allies will find that america is once again [applause] all the nations of the world, friend or foe will find that america is strong, america is proud, and america is free. In nine years the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding. 250 years since the day we declared our independence. It will be one of the great milestones in the history of the world. But what will america look likes a we reach our 250th year . What kind of country will we leave for our children . I will not allow the mistakes of recent past to define the course of our future. For too long we have watched our middle class shrink, as we have exported our jobs and wealth to foreign countries. We financed and built one Global Project after another, but ignored the fates of our children in the enter cities of chicago, baltimore, detroit, and so many other places throughout our land. We have defended the borders of other nations while leaving our own borders wide open for anyone to cross and for drugs to pour in at a now unprecedented rate. And weve spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while our infrastructure at home has so badly crumbled. Then in 2016, the earth shifted beneath our feet. Quiet protest spoken by families of all colors and creeds. Families who just wanted a fair shot for their children and a fair hearing for their concerns. But then the quiet voices became a loud chorus as thousands of citizens now spoke out together from cities small and large all across our country. Finally, the chorus became an earthquake and the people turned out by the tens of millions and they were all united by one very simple but crucial demand, that america must put its own citizens first because only then can we truly make America Great again. [cheers and applause] dying industries will come roaring back to life, heroic veterans will get the care they so desperately need. Our military will be given the resources its brave warriors so richly deserve. Crumbling infrastructure will be replaced with new roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and railways gleaming across our very, very beautiful land. Our terrible drug epidemic will slow down and ultimately stop. And our neglected inner cities will see a rebirth of hope, safety, and opportunity. Above all else, we will keep our promises to the American People. [cheers and applause] thank you. Its been a little over a month since my inauguration and i want to take this moment to update the nation on the progress i have made in keeping those promises. Since my election, ford, fiat chrysler, general motors, sprint, soft bank, lock keyed, intel, walmart and many others have announced that they will invest billions and billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new american jobs. [applause] the stock market has gained since the election on november 8th. A record. We have saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by bringing down the price of fantastic and it is a fantastic new f35 jet fighter and well be saving billions more on contracts all across our government. We have placed a hiring freeze on nonmilitary and nonessential federal workers. We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a 5 year ban on lobbying by executive Branch Officials [applause] and lifetime ban. [cheers and applause] thank you. And a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign government. We have undertaken a historic effort to massively reduce job crushing regulations, creating a Deregulation Task force inside of every government agency. [applause] and were imposing a new rule which mandates that for every one new regulation two old regulations must be eliminated. [applause] were going to stop the regulations that threaten the future and livelihood of our great coal miners. [applause] we have cleared the way for the construction of the keystone and Dakota Access pipelines. [cheers and applause] thereby creating tens of thousands of jobs and i have issued a new directive that new american pipelines be made with american steel. [applause] we have withdrawn the United States from the jobkilling transpacific partnership. [appla and with the help of Prime Minister justin trudeau, we have formed a council with our neighbors in canada to help ensure that Women Entrepreneurs have access to the networks, markets, and capital they need to start a business and live out their financial dreams. [applause] to protect our citizens, i have directed the department of justice to form a task force on reducing violent crime. I have further ordered the departments of Homeland Security and justice, along with the department of state and the director of National Intelligence to dismantle the criminal cartels that have spread all across our nation. [applause] we will stop the drugs from pouring in to our country and poisoning our youth and we will expand treatment for those who have become so badly addicted. [applause] at the same time, my administration has answered the pleas of the American People for Immigration Enforcement and Border Security. [applause] by finally enforcing our immigration laws we will raise wages, help the unemployed and save billions and billions of dollars and make our communities safer for every. Everyone. [applause] we want all americans to succeed but that cant happen in an environment of lawless chaos. We must restore integrity and the rule of law at our borders. [applause] for that reason, we will soon begin of a great, great wall along our southern border. [cheers and applause] as we speak tonight, we are removing gang members, drug dealers, and criminals that threaten our communities and pray on our very innocent citizens. Bad ones are going out as i speak and as i promised throughout the campaign. To any in congress who do not believe we should enforce our laws i would ask you this one question. What would you say to the American Family that loses their jobs, their income, or their loved one because america refused to uphold its laws and defend its borders . [applause] our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States. We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical islamic terrorism. [applause] according to data provided by the department of justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and terrorismrelated offenses since 9 11 came here from outside of our country. We have seen the attacks at home from boston to intern san bernardino, the pentagon and, yes, even the world trade center. We have seen the attacks in germany and all over the world. It is not compassion but reckless to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur. [applause] those given the high honor of admission to the United States should support this country and love its people and its values. We cannot allow a beach head of terrorists to form inside america. We cannot allow our nation to become a sanctuary for extremists. [applause] that is why my administration has been working on improved shortly take new steps to keep our nation safe and to keep those out who will do us harm. [applause] as promised, i directed the department of defense to develop a plan to demolish and destroy isis, a network of lawless savages that have slaughtered muslims and christians and men and women and children of all faiths and all beliefs. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the muslim world to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet. [applause] i have also imposed new sa individuals who support irans Ballistic Missile program and reaffirmed our Unbreakable Alliance with the state of israel. [cheers and applause] finally, i have kept my promise to appoint a justice to the united state Supreme Court from my list of 20 judges who will defend our constitution. [cheers and applause] i am greatly honored to have Maureen Scalia with us in [applause] thank you, maureen. Her late great husband Antonin Scalia will be a great symbol of american justice. To fill his seat we have chosen judge kneel gorsuch a man of incredible skill and deep devotion to the law. He was confirmed unanimously by the court of appeals and i am asking the senate to swiftly approve his nomination. [cheers and applause] 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. More than one in five people in their prime working years are not working. We have the worst Financial Recovery in 65 years. In the last eight years the past administration has put on more new debt than nearly all of the other president s combine
