4:00 am
the future? >> we are sending them pictures, keeping them updates. we want them to continue to see her. i think she's going to know how much they loved her and that's never going to be in question. >> let's talk about this reality. we were talking before we came back here live that you say 80% to 90% of your job on a daily basis somehow involves drugs or addiction, whether it's a crime of opportunity, or selling or whatever. it's a big issue now. good point for the president is opioids are on the spectrum now. heroin is on the spectrum. we need help. what do you see everyday in terms of where the need is and what still needs to be done by government? >> so one of the biggest issues that comes up when i talk to
4:01 am
somebody who is addicted, there's many of them who tell me i would love to go to treatment. there's just nowhere for me to go. in our particular state, there's such a limited amount of resources available that the waiting lists are hundreds of years ahead of them. they are going to get discouraged and stay on the street doing what they're doing. as a police officer, i find them with drugs. they committed a crime. they go to jail. a lot of them get right back on the street because they're not held. so then they're right back doing drugs again. so it's just a cycle. we have had some success with drug courts rather than putting them in prison, trying to put them in rehab. they are very limited because of funding. >> do you want to hear more from our officials, from the white house about what the plan is? >> yeah. at this point, trying to get
4:02 am
this plan together, i don't know what they're going to do, how they're going to do it. i think the limiting factor, it's going to be expensive. >> right. >> tom and crystal's rehab and recovery, if you could see the numbers for how expensive just the two of them can be -- >> if it weren't for this benefactor who came in, who knows where they would be right now. >> there's no way i could afford it personally. i had been thinking about setting up a go fund me to raise money for rehab and then they came in and offered that, and it was fantastic. that was one of the road blocks i was encountering. as much as i wanted to get them in rehab, i didn't have anywhere to take them. sit very expensive to do a legitimate good rehab and recovery center. >> we need the resources. you're living it. and you did more than any human being really could ever be expected to. you inspire us. officer holets, thank you so much. >> you're not here to sell drug policy. you're not a politician, just an example of what somebody with
4:03 am
their head and their heart are aligned. >> my faith directs me but i feel action is the most important thing. >> the best and all blessings to you, your wife, five kids can. you have given us literally hope in two different ways. >> great to talk to you. >> look, if that doesn't make you feel good about how you want to live your life, i don't know what will. thank you to our international viewers for watching. for you, "cnn news now" is next. good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day". president trump hailing the start of a new american moment in his first state of the union address calling on on a deeply divided country to unify and challenging republicans and democrats to work together for the american people. the president also laid out the four pillars of his immigration plan, leaving democrats and republicans on ejiofor different
4:04 am
reasons. there was no mention of russia's election interference or the ongoing collusion into trump's campaign. not a big surprise. it matters. this is going on as the president offers a major clue about whether he is going to release a controversial and classified memo by republicans that alleges surveillance abuses by the fbi. his own doj appointees did not want him to release it. we have it all covered. let's again with abby phillip live at the white house. abby? >> reporter: hi. good morning. president trump tried to strike an optimistic tone last night in his speech, a stark contrast to what we usually see him doing on social media where he is a lot more combative. in that nearly 80-minute-long speech he was touting the dawn of a new american moment. far less policy and more tone.
4:05 am
>> i call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. this is really the key. these are the people we were elected to serve. >> reporter: president trump striking a conciliatory tone urging lawmakers to move past the deep divisions that defined his first year in office. >> this in fact, is our new american moment. >> reporter: mr. trump utilizing the same polarizing language that fermented the divide. >> americans are dreamers too. >> reporter: appearing to draw a line from dreamers to the ms-13 gang members that killed two teenage girls, their grieving parents guests in the audience. >> for decades open borders allowed drugs and gangs to pour into our most vulnerable communities. they've allowed millions of low-wage work stories compete
4:06 am
for jobs and wages against the poorest americans. most tragically, they have caused the loss of many innocent lives. >> reporter: mr. trump pledging to work with both parties to strike a deal on immigration. but his plan to restrict a program that allows immigrants to bring families to the u.s. provoking boos from democrats. >> under our plan -- >> reporter: president trump devoting much of his speech touting his economic successes and signature legislative achievement. >> just as i promised the american people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. a claim a cnn reality check deems to be false. mr. trump calling on democrats to work with him on an ambitious list of agenda items, including infrastructure, trade, opioid addiction, prison reform and lowering the cost of prescription drugs, while boast building rolling back a number of obama-era policies, including the individual mandate and keeping guantanamo bay open.
4:07 am
and taking an apparent swipe at nfl players while honoring 12-year-old preston sharp for his compassion toward veterans. >> preston's reverence reminds us of why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance, and why we proudly stand for the national anthem. sharp was one of a number of
4:08 am
emotional stories the president highlighted during his speech. honoring guests like otto warmbier's parents, who died shortly after his release from prison and a north korean defector. calling on congress to bolster u.s. defense. >> north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland. >> reporter: and calling on congress to bolster u.s. defense. >> as part of our defense, we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal, hopefully never having to use it, but making it so strong and so powerful that it will deter any acts of aggression. >> reporter: mr. trump made no mention of russia's supervision to the 2016 election but was overhead with jeff duncan talking about releasing a classified gop memo that alleges survey a lance abuses by the fbi, a move democrats say is meant to undermine the russia probe. >> don't worry. 100%. >> reporter: after that big hint he dropped on the state of the union floor last night, and with the state of the union out of the way, he face ace big decision about what to do with that memo. one of the other things that he is not going to be doing this week is taking his policies and his state of the union message
4:09 am
out on the road. the president is not expected to do what a lot of previous presidents have done to reinforce their messages by going out into the country. he will remain for the most part close to washington. alisyn and chris. >> abby, thank you very much for all of that. let's bring in white house correspondent for the "new york times", maggie haberman. maggie, great to see you. let's start with what abby was just reporting. do you know why the president doesn't want to make this on the road and do this road ship to continue to have wind in the sails from this speech? >> one of the reasons he doesn't like traveling that much, he has not been that eager to go to the white house other than to go to mar-a-lago to go golfing on his own property, there is debate on how effective it is is when he does she's rallies. there are opportunities for him to go off script and to say things that undermine the message that the white house has worked on in the first place. there is a belief right now they
4:10 am
are not sure how many people will want the president campaigning in key districts and states where there are tough race stpwhrs maggie, help us understand what will be the next dramatic turn in this presidency which revolves around the memo. sarah sanders said the nunes memo, they have no plans to release it. the president told a lawmakers 100% when asked to release it. he could do nothing, just so people at home know. he could do nothing. and then congress can act unilaterally. that's the way the process works. >> chris, it is important to remember white house aides were saying, and i heard the same as well from them right before the speech essentially is that the president had not yet reviewed this memo. they did not want him to see it is my understanding from sources to distract him from the state of the union. and yet you heard him do the 100% with somebody who said release it. now it is possible that he is pleasing whatever audience he's
4:11 am
in front of when he did it. it's also possible that he believes, which i have heard he does, this memo, based on what he learned from watching cable television, would help his cause. he believes what he understands its contents to be. and from other sources that he has heard about the information contained in it. there is an active debate about whether releasing this is a wise idea. as we know, the fbi director went to go visit the chief of staff to say please do not release this memo. some in the white house think this is not a good idea. we will have a verdict i believe on this later today. >> you have rosenstein go to the chief of staff and boyd, a trump appointee in the doj, who also reached out to the white house saying we haven't looked at this. this is not the way to do it. >> it would be counter to the president's instincts. he want this is information. it comports with what he's been
4:12 am
saying from what we know about it. your reporting is they might give us an answer by later today. and would you be surprise tpd the president decided not to release it? >> to a degree. only because we know he is itching. if he decides not to release it, it is is because he listened to the counsel of certain people within his white house and the justice department, which has been lear on this all along. please do not release this. there is classified information in here. we do not want this out. we have seen before there are times when the president will heed his advisers's words. this could be one of them. we are watching a mental wrestling match going on. >> i can't believe he will do anything without leaving. he will be set up to fail. >> i think that's true. >> what are you hearing about this speculation that nunes had help from the white house? we he don't know. the reporting is he didn't read
4:13 am
the confidential information, the classified folio that backs up his own memo, his conclusion.
4:14 am
especially early on in the speech that we don't usually hear him do in noncanned, nonteleprompter speeches. and then to not offer any new policy. incident was a really retrospective look at his first year in office. so he did all of those things. at the end of the day, it is is what we have seen with this president since the campaign. on the one hand, he offers lofty rhetoric. on the other hand, he extends a hand to. he knows we will see it as a poisoned pill on immigration. that is what we saw. >> all right. are you with me? >> oh, yeah. maggie, what's your jam? >> poor maggie. she always tries to be serious. i'm always shaking her base.
4:15 am
i think this is very professional. in terms of identifying a theme -- >> i'm having trouble with it. >> in terms of identifying a i theme for last night, i was struck, maggie, as i watched the entire speech that the lyrics, the song itself by demi lovato sorry, not sorry, seemed to be perfectly capturing what was going on last night. here are some of the lyrics. you be the judge. >> first he will read them. >> baby i'm sorry, not sorry. >> wow. >> being so bad got me feeling so good. and then looking for revenge, feeling like a 10. the best i've have ever been. >> it doesn't rhyme. >> i didn't write it. i know how bad it must hurt to see you like this but it gets worse. when i was watching him last night, he didn't even look at the prompter, maggie -- back to us. he didn't even look at the
4:16 am
prompter on the side of the stage where the democrats were. and he seemed to be looking at them. he would be partially conciliatory. i'm sorry. and then look to the other side and say not sorry. there was a little bit of revenge tour going on for him. he was painting carnage the first time around. beautiful examples of people who made it through horrible situations in the audience. poignant. >> jump in any time. >> i wanted to lay out the case fully before you shoot it down. do you see this as relevant? >> i do. but i think you could -- to go with your metaphor, you could set that to repeat. you could have said that at any point over the last three years of campaign and the presidency. i did think there were human poignant moments in terms of the attendees who he singled out. you were interviewing one of them before. yes, he would turn to his base and essentially say look what i
4:17 am
did for you. i found him not looking at democrats. and i hear what you're saying, to be less of the sorry, not sorry. he is so interpersonally conflict averse when he is face-to-face, he tries to pretend they're not there as long as he can. that's how i interpreted that. but i like that song amou lot. i'm taking my daughter to that concert. >> maggie can even run with your dramatic reading of demi lovato. in the next hour we will talk about look what you made me do. >> oh, that's nice. taylor swift. >> maggie, thank you. >> thanks, guys. in the democratic response, a congressman called the president a bully without ever saying his name. time to bask... in low prices!

4:22 am
>> the strongest, richest nation in the world should not leave anyone behind. we choose a better deal for all who call our country home. >> that was congressman joe kennedy sharply criticizing president trump without ever saying his name in the democratic response to the state of the union, pitching a better deal for americans. so can democrats work with republicans to achieve their goals and what is their message? congressman joe kennedy joins us now. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm well. how are you? how was in a experience last night? i was a lot more caffeine and less lipgloss on. >> hold on a second. was it lipgloss or chapstick. >> whatever it was, it was a little too much apparently. i should have put it on the spotlight and i didn't. hopefully i won't make that mistake.
4:23 am
i'm right there with you. >> hd is unforgiving. this is life in the big leagues. first of all, let's talk about all the democratic responses. what did you make of there being not one, not just yours but five democratic responses. >> i think it's great. look, i was obviously thrilled by the opportunity and honored by it. what our party needs at the moment is an awful lot of unity. to try to find a way to unify not only our party but the country. it is still early in the electoral process. i expect that would unify as we get tighter to the midterm
4:24 am
elections. and certainly as we go through the process towards 2020. i encourage it. >> it is not a unified message. it is exhibit a. there are all of these unofficial messages from bernie sappeders and beyond that cropped up. that makes it seem as though they are not on the same page. >> i think there are themes you will see highlighted over the course of weeks and months ahead. look, believe, me, i see this angst. i hear all the time what's our message and who are the leaders of the party, who is going to be your nominee in 2020, et cetera. i think the most important thing that democrats need to do, and i think it's better for our country, you have a big broad
4:25 am
debate. you have people putting forth the narratives and seeing whether they resonate, testing them out and seeing what we can do to build the constituencies and highlight and bring people together. let me pa play one more response. >> bullies may land a punch. they may leave a mark, but they have never not once in the history of our united states managed to match the strength and spirit of a people united in defense of their future. >> so was that about president trump? >> look, i think it is about anybody that seeks to scapegoat.
4:26 am
we learned from a little kid when somebody is exhibiting that type of behavior, you stand up to the folks they are taking it out on. the remarks that i tried to highlight last night is that our country has always aspired to be that unifying force, that city on a hill, if you will, that example of what asociety that i open and fair looks like. i don't see any action out of this president. we heard nice words about unifying the country. look, there is not a single person out there against it. this isn't just about one person. it isn't just about the
4:27 am
president of the united states. this is also about who we are as a country, who we are as a nation, who we aspire to be. and about a message i think democrats need to be putting forward. it gets back to the core of who we are and what we stand for. and so while obviously, yes, the speech was a response to the president's state of the union. it was, in effect about the character in which he has been leading the country. it was also my hope bigger than that. >> you hear pundits say you can't just be against the president. that is not something americans can get their arms around. can you define what the democrats's overarching message for voters is? >> absolutely. it is one where we stand -- we are stronger when we stand together and when we fight for each other.
4:28 am
you have an economy that, yes, can and should boast about the record stock prices but recognizing 50% of americans don't own a single stock. 80% of the stocks are controlled by 10% of american families. using the stock market as a barometer for economic growth is not the right measure. it's helpful but not inclusive of many of the folks and families i was with last night. the students we were with at vocational school. it is helpful but that will not guarantee them a way to a solid middleclass lifestyle. that's what we need to focus on. look, there are an awful lot of issues that are important to this country. important to 320 million americans. a big broad tent nation. it's something to celebrate. we have to recognize if you are struggle to go keep a roof over your head, food on your plate, kid in school and save for retirement, nothing else matters. we have to have a core economic
4:29 am
message not just those benefiting from the system at the moment but those that aren't and there are some struggling to have access to it. >> congressman joe kennedy, thank you for recapping it all for us. >> thank you. appreciate it. coming up in the next hour, sarah sanders. she's going to join us live on "new day" with thoughts inside the white house without the speech. we go to a different kennedy for another take on last night. there's no relation. republican senator john kennedy joins us. what did he make of the speech as a republican from the south? and does he think the president should release a classified memo alleging fbi misconduct? i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how.

4:32 am
4:33 am
there was a lot to unpack from last night. the president was calling for $1.25 billion in new intra structure but fell short of asking congress to allocate that money. anybody who helped with the
4:34 am
speech knows that's a big, big problem. and outlining his four pillar immigration plan. both parties like and hate aspects of it. so what are we going to see? is anything going to get passed? let's get great perspective for you from republican senator john kennedy of louisiana. he serves on the judiciary committee. always a pleasure. we appreciate you coming on the show making the case to the audience and giving their respect. so last tphaoenight even someon cannot see would see that is one undivided room. >> it is not the whistle who pulls the train. the president was trying to establish a harmony kwrus relationship with democrats, particularly in congress.
4:35 am
he's a showman. you can tell his experience in television. when he hit on an applause line, he would open his arms, welcome body language. prescription drugs. he declared war on the cost of prescription drugs. how we do that -- there are ways to do that. he didn't go into them. but he will be very divisive. i think he thinks he is offered middle ground on immigration. whether 60 votes in the senate see that that way is a totally different story. >> is it middle you ground or did he offer parcels of opposite ground. when they hear pathway to citizenship, and it's not fair to simply, you know, say, well, anybody who feels that way, they don't like these people. there are people who argue law and order and other issues in the party as well. you're like nonstarter. and then you have democrats now, maybe in equal or greater number
4:36 am
who say you either do daca as a stand alone or maybe we will include security to get it done. >> conservatives will support legal status. but they want to see the border security first. they don't believe if they agree to legal status or amnesty there will ever be border security. the democrats, on the other hand, there is a lack of trust there. they want to see amnesty or legal status first because they don't believe they will give border security. it is a question of timing. i confess i'm much less sanguine
4:37 am
on getting 60 votes. if we do, it has to pass the house and the president has to sign it. chris, that's a tall order. if you're on the floor, you can tell there is wild enthusiasm among republicans in the house. enthusiasm but less so among republicans in the senate. and i think -- i'd say the democrats last night are skeptical. put them down as doubtful. but if the president puts meat on the bone in terms of reform, cushing the cost of prescription drugs. and there are ways to do it. >> there are certainly ways to do it. the drug prices are crazy. have been a long time. you have been held hostage by that industry. you will make a lot of deep pockets unhappy. >> one thing that has been talked about through the years. again, i'm not recommending this because there are pros and cons. if he said, okay, medicare,
4:38 am
going to start negotiating the price of prescription drugs. boom. >> you would. you would see a tank in a lot of different financial aspects. >> you would. >> it's a question of who do you want to help, who do you want as an enemy, who do you want as a friend. >> what he didn't talk about, and i wish he had, more about a topic that is very much alive on capitol hill. net neutrality. and i wish he talked about sanctions are the russians. i think president putin has acted like a thug. >> it seems to be true based on the intelligence community and every piece of data we have. you may have seen your answer in what the president didn't talk about. can you imagine someone not saying something as president when a fighter jet from russia comes within five fetal of a u.s. navy plane. he were doesn't even say anything.
4:39 am
this is not a man shy to comment. now you have the biggest obstacle in making the deal. this has problems with the intelligence community. it has a lot of political problems. the president has it on his desk. we are told he hasn't read it, which is a little surprising. if he releases that memo, who is going to want to do a deal on the left with the right? that's all you will be fighting about for the foreseeable future. >> we can't let the politics of the moment cloud our judgment. if there is classified information in that memo, it shouldn't be released. if they release it anyway, to be fair, the democrats ought to be allowed to release their memo. my preference is not to have either side put spin on it, try to take out all the classified information. i see things on the russia investigation a little different from my colleagues. i trust the fbi. i think the vast majority of the
4:40 am
fbi are a political law enforcement the best in the world. i don't doubt there's political animals on both sides. i think if you're allowed to get the facts and present them to the american people, the american people are smart enough to figure out themselves. >> isn't that what they are doing with the inspector general report right now? >> that's part of it. and if the inspector general report can be released without classified information, it should be released. i think the fbi has to change its protocol a little bit. they don't comment on investigations. this time it would be worthy of saying, okay, this is what we have found. i can tell you what they have found. i don't know the details. no details that the russians tried to interfere in our elections. >> devin nunes wants to conclude, maybe even help the white house, is the real
4:41 am
interference was done by the democrats and the fbi who are trying to help clinton. >> that's the issue. >> this is a counternarrative. >> there are two issues. one issue is did somebody in president trump's campaign play footsie with putin and did some members of the fbi play footsie with secretary clinton's campaign. and you have to trust somebody in this world, chris. i trust, maybe i'm naive. i trust men and women, the vast majority of the a political the fbi. don't spin the facts. the american people are smart. they don't read aristotle every day because they are too busy earning a living. they will figure this out and they will filter what people try to spin them on. >> i appreciate your candor. you're always approximate welcome to make your case to the american people. >> thank you. the me too movement making a visible mark at the state of the union. how jackie speier plans to move
4:42 am
that movement forward and what she thought of the speech, next.
4:43 am
i cannot imagine managing my diabetes without my dexcom. this is the dexcom g5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring system. a small, wearable sensor measures your glucose every 5 minutes and sends the data to a dexcom receiver. i feel like, oh my gosh, i'm in control now. with the dexcom g5 mobile, you always know the direction and speed your glucose is heading. something a fingerstick can't tell you. and it's easy to see your trend line. with dexcom, i know where i'm heading and i can take action without pricking my finger. dexcom, it's just really easy to use, and i have the confidence that i have all kinds of customer support. dexcom helps lower a1c and improves quality of life. if you're over 65 and you have diabetes, you should have a dexcom. the dexcom g5 mobile is the only cgm covered by medicare. if you get a dexcom, you're going to be very glad that you did. visit dexcomnow.com to learn more and ask your doctor for a prescription
4:44 am
for a dexcom g5 mobile. to every citizen watching at home tonight, no matter where you've been or where you've come from, this is your time. if you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in america, then you can dream anything. you can be anything. and together we can achieve absolutely anything. president trump striking a unifying tone in his state of the union address, calling on both parties to work together on major issues. after a year of partisan attacks did last night's speech help? joining us is jackie speier of california, a member of the house intelligence committee. great to ever you here in studio.
4:45 am
thanks for being with us. what did you hear last night? >> so i heard him give a teleprompter speech. he came off quasi presidential, which is the new normal, i guess. if with get one good speech and if he resists the tweets this morning, maybe we'll get through a day where there is not going to be lashing out. >> but beyond style, what did you hear in terms of the substance? the white house said he was trying to be bipartisan. and that message, this is your time, if you're american you can do anything you dream of. those are messages obviously that resonate on both sides of the aisle. did you achieve bipartisanship? >> i think many of us felt he would throw out one liners and -- keeping gitmo open, for instance. it is is costing $13 million a year per person. only 41 people are left there. he throws out the a couple of
4:46 am
nice lines. immigration comments were very divisive. when you say chain migration instead of family unification, you're not trying to come up with a compromise. >> is it going to be impossible for democrats? >> it is not impossible. compromise is only. you don't say this is compromise, here, i have given you something that is compromise. you sit down and negotiate. he wants to bring in 1.8 million dreamers, not just the 800,000. but then he wants to impose all of these restrictions and a $25 billion wall. >> what is going to happen with immigration since he laid out his best case or argument. as you know, we are facing another deadline for next week for a government shutdown.
4:47 am
>> i think we are nowhere. unless he does a clean cr with a clean daca fix for the 800,000. i think we will be teetering on another shutdown, which is horrible. >> and then what? >> then what, exactly. he has got to realize that negotiations means two people sit down at the table. everybody loses something and everybody wins something. >> is there a feeling among democrats that the last shutdown didn't work? it didn't work for democrats. by monday everyone had come to their senses. >> nobody wants a shutdown. it costs us money to have a shutdown every day. what we need to do is be responsible adults and realize we're not going to get everything we want and carve a pathway forward. >> you close to wear black yesterday, a show of solidarity. you tweeted all of your colleagues. this was for the me too
4:48 am
movement. this was sort of the visible representation of that. so where is the me too movement now in congress and beyond? >> you know, that's the big news story in all of this. this is a bipartisan bill. and it is a very strong bill. and it will be up next week in committee and probably on the house floor. >> what will it do? >> it will absolutely transform how victims are treated in congress. they will have legal counsel. they will be able to go directly to court if they want to. and the harasser, if it's a member, is going to be identified and forced to repay the federal government a settlement amount. >> that will change amount of things. everything we have learned in the past months about how it is set up now where it's the victim who has to go to therapy and has a cooling off period. obviously you're changing all of that. very quickly, i want to ask you about this republican memo, the
4:49 am
devin nunes drafted memo. last night there was an open mike moment where the president was caught telling one of his republican colleagues 100% i'm going to release this. watch this. >> let's release the memo. >> don't worry. 100%. can you imagine? >> are you worried about that being public? >> that memo is filled with classified information. it is a road we should not travel down. >> you have read it? >> i have read it. what the republican stated in committee was astonishing. once the transcript of that hope earring is forth coming, you're going to find out that the chairman of the committee would not answer the question by my colleague mr. quigley when he asked did you -- were you in consultation with the white house? he would not answer that question. when he was asked when mr. wray looked at this memo, did he have
4:50 am
any areas that he wanted to have deleted or redacted? he would not answer that question. so clearly they are moving ahead full speed. they want to spin this. and then they wouldn't let the democratic response -- >> they voted not to release that one. >> but you are saying there is dangerous classified information and should not be released. >> >> absolutely. the president wants to pursue this idea that somehow the dossier was related -- the dossier is representative of why this whole investigation began, and it was not. >> senator jackie speier, thank you for your perspective on all this. great to have you here. north korean dictator kim jong-un planning a parade of missiles before the olympics kickoff next week in south korea. a live report from seoul next.

trouble information. cnn learned north korea is planning to show off dozens of long-range missiles at a parade next thursday, just a day before the start of the winter olympics. cnn's will ripley has traveled to north korea more than a dozen times and joins us live now from seoul with more. there is an expression, is this for show or is this to go. what is the concern about the missiles? >> kim jong-un said in his new year's address he was going to mass produce nuclear weapons. this kind of show of force would be unprecedented. we're talking about up to a hundred of the was song 15 missiles, the kind analysts say could hit the mainland u.s. 100 icbms rolling through pyongyang. there are satellite images showing an up take at weapons

facilities. this is all designed to, quote, scare the hell out of the united states. the source is also not ruling out the possibility of a north korea missile test in the very near future, possibly during the olympics. north korea has made no secret they're angry at the united states, upcoming joint military drills. they want to send a message even if it is on the eve of the winter olympics in south korea which they're participating in. some are speculating due to president trump's state of the june union address. a renowned academic wrote this in "the washington post." he said they need to have a, quote, forceful military option available without escalating into a war that would kill tens if not hundreds of thousands of
4:56 am
americans. he said he told the trump administration a preemptive transcribing is a bad idea. he's no longer a contender for the job of u.s. ambassador to south korea. president trump touting big successes in job creation and fighting isis while making controversial claims about immigration in his speech. >> cnn's tom foreman does the fact check on the president's claims on this cnn reality check. >> hey chris, hey, alisyn. the president made huge claims about what he's done for jobs. >> since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone. african-american unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded. >> of course, the recovery started under barack obama, but it has continued under president trump. he has his numbers right, and while african-american unemployment is much higher than white unemployment, it's still at a record low. all those claims are absolutely
4:57 am
true. he also had this to say about taxes. >> we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. you recall the republicans passed their big tax plan late last year. it did have whopping raw numbers in it. but as a percentage of the u.s. economy, the gdp, as you can see, several presidents have had bigger tax cuts. that claim is false. what did the president have to say about one of his favorite topics, immigrants? >> under the current broken system, a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives. >> if you become a u.s. citizen or a legal resident, you can probably bring in your spouse and your children. but aunts and uncles and parents and grown children, that's a lot harder. it is not the free-for-all he is suggesting. that claim is false. what did he have to say about
4:58 am
the great long battle with isis. >> i am proud to report that the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to 100% of the territory just recently held by these killers in iraq and in syria and in other locations as well. >> again, it started under barack obama, but the military says president trump has helped them energize this fight. all the green in there, that's territory that isis has lost. you can see the raw numbers over here, so, yeah, that claim is true. he said a few other things we should mention. for example, he implied terrorist exploited the u.s. immigration system for some recent attacks in new york. but authorities say the suspects there were radicalized after they got here, so that's true, but misleading. he said a chrysler plant was moving back from mexico to michigan. some production is coming back, but the plant is remaining in
4:59 am
mexico as well. so that's false. and he said he's appointed more circuit judges than any other president at this point. that is true. we checked out a whole lot more. you can check it out. go to our website cnn.com/realitycheck. chris, alisyn. >> so helpful to have tom do that. great to break it down sentence by sentence. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >> i call upon all of us to set aside our differences and to summon unity. >> he actually had a much more outreaching speech. >> it's time to reform our immigration system. >> he implied that dreamers are gang members. buoys can land a punch, but never managed to match the strength and spirit of a people united in their future. >> a call to arms for democrats. >> no regime has oppressed its own citizens more brutally than
5:00 am
north korea. >> the russians are fighting -- >> politicians can be cheered for the promises they make. the country will be judged by the promises we keep. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> sun comes up on another day in the capital. good morning. it's wednesday, january 31st, 8:00 here in washington. president trump hailing the start of a new american moment in his first state of the union address. he's calling on a deeply divided nation to unify and challenging republicans and democrats to work together for the american people. the president also laying out the four pillars of his immigration plan leaving both sides of the aisle on edge but for very different reasons. >> absent from the address, any mention of russia's interference in the election. this as the president gives a
