edition of her prime time show begins now. see you tomorrow. trish: breaking right now, president trump delivering a unifying message. what a speech, right? quite a speech. a unifying message to a very divided congress tonight calling for bipartisanship in the face of obstruction from democrats. democrats who disagree with the president on, well, just about everything -- [laughter] including several key issues, one of the big ones, of course, being immigration. now, he taliban his second state finish he began his second state of the union by offering an olive branch saying he's getting ready to work to achieve, quote, historic breakthroughs for all americans. listen to this. >> millions of our fellow citizens are watching us now gathered in this great chamber

hoping that we will govern not as two parties, but as one nation. the agenda i will lay out this evening is not a republican agenda or a democrat agenda. it's the agenda of the american people. victory is not winning for our party, victory is winning for our country. [applause] we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good. together we can break decades of political stalemate. trish: you know, this really was, as i said, quite a speech. he covered a ton of ground. and he went places that, well, you know, aren't always comfortable. ing for example, there was a whole group of women there in

white. he addressed the abortion issue head on with them. but he also brought up some very poignant things including the fact that women now are looking at historic unemployment rates, something that they had to applaud and that women are now in congress at a record rate. again, something they had to applaud. he started with criminal justice reform, and i don't know what democrat can't be in favor of criminal justice reform. he talked about the greatness of our economy which is a direct result of so many of our policies put in place by this administration. he talked, and this was important a all of you who watch my program every single night, he talked about standing with the people of vens whale and not allowing that brutal dick today dictatorship to continue hurting veps wail a lance and the net --

venezuelaens. anyway, joining me right now with reaction specifically when it came to the health care part of this speech, we have a member of president trump's cabinet, health and human services secretary alex azar. secretary azar, good to have you here tonight. >> trish, it's great to be with you again, thank you. trish: so there were some important health reform issues that came out. he talked about insurance reform, he talked about prescription drug reform. walk us through the highlights there, because these are some issues that have been pretty important to him all along. >> yeah. you know, the president laid out today an inspiring agenda that i think everyone ought to be able to get behind, whether democrat or republican. really three key elements. first, we've got to tackle prescription drug prices. we've got to get out of pockets down for our seniors, and we've got to get list prices down. second, we've got to increase transparency in our health care system. he made a very bold challenge to hospitals, to pharmaceutical

companies and to insurance companies that they need to make their prices transparent in our system. and third, he laid out a bold and historic vision for the future of health care in america. he will end the hiv epidemic in america within ten years. he's going to tackle childhood cancer, and if we're going to protect pre-existing conditions. so just a comprehensive, bipartisan, sweeping health care agenda for the american people. trish: do you anticipate much sort of backlash from democrats on some of the things? for example, his proposal that we have a more transparent system when it comes to pricing, because why is it that somebody in europe pays a whole lot less for a drug than we do in america? and why to americans not really know how much specific drugs cost, whether that be they're not getting the proper information from the insurance company or the hospital? >> well, you know, the president called explicitly for congress to take action to end foreign free-riding. we are paying 180% of what

europeans and japanese pay for the exact same drugs, and the president has said that has got to end. the foreign free-riding must end now. he also called for transparency around drug pricing, and that's something we proposed just last week, getting rid of these kickbacks the drug companies pay to middlemen and that patients are not getting the benefit of when they walk into the pharmacy -- trish: going to make some lobbyists rather angry. [laughter] >> yeah, they're not going to be happy. those who defend the status quo simply cannot be happy with anything the president is proposing on health care, because how can you be satisfied with the status quo on health care? the president isn't because he knows america's patients are hurting, and he wants to reduce cost skim prove quality for them. of. trish: very interesting stuff. secretary azar, thank you so much for joining us tonight. all right, joining me with reaction to the speech we heard this evening from the president of the united states, rnc

spokesperson caylee mcnerney and jason altmeyer of pennsylvania. caylee, it was quite a speech. there was a lot that went into it, it was very layered. you had examples of people there, and you had some very emotional moments whether it be the wimp clapping because of -- the women clapping because of the success women have seen in this economy or whether it be that moment when they broke out in happy birthday, to sing happy birthday to someone who had been through a very horrific time back in world war ii. what was your favorite moment? >> that's right. that was a beautiful moment there where they applauded and sang happy birthday to judah. likewise, when he announced that grace had her last round of chemo, and you saw that beautiful young girl stand. there were emotional moments, there were moments of humor at the same time, there were moments when democrats were forced to get to their feet and clap. there were many of those moments where even alexandria ocasio-cortez was essentially

prodded to stand and applause that sex traffickers are being locked up at a our border. he touted his record, it was, i think, the best state of the union i've seep. he accomplished so much in just a short amount of time. >> jason, what was that? was that just her peeve if today, her inexperience or this once again proof that some democrats are purely political animals, because the president was talking, and maybe she wasn't listening, but the president was talking about how we had arrested 1500 human traffic efforts -- traffickers, and we had saved 300 women and young girls from these human traffickers, and she couldn't so much as clap. she had to look at the team around her, all of whom were clapping, and then standing, before she bothered to get with the program. what was that? >> i think the president caught a lot of democrats off guard. he had a magnanimous approach. he did talk about several issues on which there is a very vast

difference of opinion. but, you know, that's his right as the party leader -- trish: yeah, but what about her in. >> i know. trish: she was completely off guard. wait, is this president trump talking about something i might actually agree with? >> well, it's tough. having been at several of those state of the union addresses, you have to do what's best for you, and i think she went into that chamber probably determined to not applaud and not show support for the president, and i think you also saw that -- trish: that is the problem. >> -- in stacey abrams' response. that's a textbook example of writing the response before you've seen the speech. it was very partisan, hard-hitting, a completely different tone than the tone the president put forth in his hour and a half long speech. so i really do think he caught the democrats off guard. trish: the reality is they're just not that good. and i get it that it's difficult to suddenly stand in front of a teleprompter like that and

deliver a response, but if you were or that good, you might be able to actually incorporate some of what happened and and work that into your speech which she couldn't, as you point out. and even the mindset there of alexandria ocasio-cortez, i mean, this to me, caylee, is what is dangerous about american politics. when people are not willing to walk into the room and have an open mind and listen. >> right, that's exactly right. i totally agree with the statement that stacey abrams did not plan if appropriately. her response very much out of touch with the call for bipartisanship that was just given. but you're right when you point out to aoc not standing. you know, this state of the union, it should be about what's best for america, and what this president did was what is best for america. calling for infrastructure, calling for lowering the cost of prescription trucks, urging democrats to come work with us and do what is best for this country, not what is best for

your political future. and aoc, when she sat -- and when those women, those democratic women sat and would not applaud historically low up employment for african-americans, for his pan ins and those who are disabled, that was a shameful moment. that was what it was about, what's pest for their future, not for the country. trish: look, it doesn't have to be as partisan as it has become. when you talk about policy, you want what's right for the country. and, hey, you know, it was jfk that cut taxes. let's not forget. this doesn't have to be a partisan, politically-driven issue, and yet it is consistently over and over and over again. you know, stopping music traffickers -- human traffickers, jason, it is not a political issue. that is one we should all agree on. but they've got to get over something, and that big something is donald trump himself. can they turn the corner, or are they just so rooted in their hate for him that they're not going to allow anything meaningful to happen in

washington, d.c.? >> there's, as i said, there's vast differences of opinion on some of those issues. the president, i think, was masterful in a couple of ways. the guests that he had in the gallery, this white house is very good at putting very compelling guests forward with a strong story to tell and the recognition is impossible to deny. he also was very good at mixing controversial issues. the incident with representative ocasio-cortez was, you know, they were talking about the border and some issues she's been pretty outspoken against and the wall, and then he threw in, you know, he transitioned into that issue with child trafficking. and i think that's kind of what caught them off guard. he did the same thing with -- [inaudible conversations] trish: yeah. none of this does. i mean, if they actually would listen to what he's saying, i think they'd actually find a lot of commonality there. finish but they're not allowing themselves. caylee, jason, good to see you both. >> thank you.

trish: we're going to have a whole lot more on the president's speech. what a speech it was. he's doubling down right now on his border wall. a brand new migrant caravan reaches our southern border today. live, straight ahead, we have reaction for you tonight from arizona congressman andy biggs and border patrol -- and a border patrol agent. what they have seen firsthand at our southern border, it is a crisis. they say we must get that wall. their reaction to what they heard from president trump next. ♪ ♪ >> simply put, walls work and >> simply put, walls work and walls save lives. i've got to tell you

is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers and human traffickers out of business. [applause] this is a moral issue. the lawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security and financial well-being of all america. trish: that was the president at tonight's state of the union making a push to secure funding from congress for the wall at our southern border. we are quickly approaching the february 15th deadline for a new budget deal to avoid another government shutdown. by the way, we're lucky we we hd the state of the union tonight. if it weren't for him moving forward with that temporary release of the shutdown, we wouldn't have had tonight's speech which is important on many different levels. joining me right now is arizona

congressman andy biggs and his guest during tonight's address, good to see you both. andy, your reaction the what you heard and whether or not it's going to get us anywhere. >> well, i thought it was a terrific speech. quite frankly, one for the ages. i think it'll be reviewed many years from now. i think it was excellent. will it produce the results? i don't know. i saw so many people on the other side of the aisle reluctant even to stand up when he starts talking about things that should be bedrock issues of what makes america great. but beyond that, on dealing with this border wall issue. and so i'm not sure he's going to get the funding by this february 15th. if he doesn't, i still think he should go ahead and order his secretary of defense to start building that fence. trish: art, it's coming on a day when we see yet another caravan having reached our southern border there with mexico.

tell us why, in your view, right now this is a crisis and what makes it a crisis now when during the barack obama years, for whatever reason, it just wasn't that big a deal at least to that president? >> no, i think we're getting more and more caravans that are forming, and it obviously shows that there's a problem with our immigration system. there's a problem with our southern borders. the amount of drugs that are being seized now are more than ever before. the amount of agents that are being attacked are more than before. i mean, we had a shutdown over this, and it was basically because we have individuals that at some point wanted border security, and now their anger towards one particular person -- that being the president -- all of a sudden that is bo having border security and taking care of american citizens. you can't call it anything else but a crisis right now. trish: are you disappointed, art, like andy, like the congressman, when you see people like alexandria to cat you

cortez -- ocasio-cortez unwilling to applaud something as simple as the arrest of 1500 human traffickers which savedded 300 women? i mean, to me, that's one of those issues where we can all sort of rally behind and say this is good because we don't want criminals trafficking women and children, and this is an issue of safety and concern. and even her fellow democrats stood up to applaud that one with, yet she had to basically look to them for guidance. i mean, what does that tell you about the state of politics right now in washington, d.c.? >> listen, i am very honored to be here. i'm very happy with congressman biggs and thankful for him to invite me on such a historic event. but i think these individuals, some of them that walkedded out, some of them that don't clap, don't stand on something as simple as securing american lives and taking care of our sowb borders, it's a slap in the face to me and everyone out there that's working that southern border, protecting our

borders, protecting american lives, taking care of the security of our nation, and it's a slap in the face to every single individual that was brought here and invited to see this historic event. it's not just about them being disrespectful to the president. i take it very personal, and i believe that they disrespected every single american citizen that was in there today. trish: wow. you know, congressman, i know you're getting frustrated with some of your colleagues there in the house, and i know that you believe that this was a great speech. what is it going to take, sir, to get beyond this? or is it just not something that can be resolved? does it take going to 2020 and having the republicans get the house back and, you know, trying a 2.0, immigration reform 2.0? because right now you're at a stalemate. >> i think there's several things that are going to have to happen. i think republicans and democrats will have to reach across the aisle on to some of the simple, more basic issues, and i think we'll see that happen. trish: i hope you do.

>> yeah, i hope so too. but on some of these bigger issues like immigration, like saving american lives, like building a border wall, i don't think we're going to get there. i think the president's going to have to take action, and i think this is going to evolve over time. but with we're -- it's going to have to change in 2020, and the american people are going to have to remember -- trish: emergency order, though? you know, there had been speculation he might do it tonight. he didn't, but do you think that's in the pipeline? >> i do think it's in the pipeline. trish: okay. >> he's talked about it, he's looked at it, i think it is, yeah. trish: congressman biggs, art, let me just reiterate for every american, we do appreciate everything you do, sir. and thank you to you and all your colleagues for all your hard work and for keeping us as safe as you can. >> thank you. trish: all right. president trump calling for unity, encouraging both parties to come together to break all the decades of political stalemate. grubbing, right? just minutes after president

engineered by the president of the united states, one that defied every tenet of fairness, families' hopes being crushed by republican leadership that ignores real life or just doesn't understand it. this is the next battle for our democracy, one we're all eligible citizens can have their say about the vision we want for our country. trish: all right. joining me right now former trump 2016 campaign manager corey lewandowski. and, corey, it's good to see you. before we get to stacey abrams and her commentary, let's focus on tonight's speech. >> look, i thought the president was phenomenal tonight, trish. he spoke to not only the people in that room, but the american people in their living rooms. he talked about the story of america, how our best days are in front of us, the olive branch which he extended to the democrats, and more importantly, highlighted the people in the audience and the success that they have had. some amazing stories from the young girl who raised money to help combat cancer to the

survivors of gunshot victims of a terrible crime. these people are the american heroes who go with unsung on a daily basis, and the president tonight highlighted those, and that makes me proud to be an american again. trish: well, you know, i can say and i think i'm being fair and objective here when i look at it analytically, right? as the speech itself, corey, it was very, very good. in other words, you had those people, those real life people that resonate with americans, and you had those big issues, and you had the optimism there which i think is so important. and yet even despite all that and the connection, i think, that as you say, he had with viewers at home, you still had democrats really just not willing to give him an inch, not wanting to clap for things that really should be bipart saab. and i don't -- bipartisan. and i don't need to go into

alexandria ocasio-cortez again, but we all saw that, where she couldn't applaud for something as simple as saving 300 women from human traffickers. to me, that's the issue you can all get behind! but for whatever reason, those things are challenging. nancy pelosi, for one, had to encourage them to stand up when he was citing how great it is that women are now seeing their low level of unemployment in history. why do they have to be told to stand up for that? >> you know, trish, it was amazing, because i saw them stand up when the president highlights there were more women in congress before, but they actually stood up and cheered for themselves, is what they did. they don't cheer for the american people, they don't cheer for the jobs that have been created, and they don't cheer for the fact that this president wants to protect the people of our country from people coming across the border illegally. and i'll tell you what, we are a country that by its very nature has this notion of leaving no one behind.

our military doesn't leave our dead behind. we take care of our people, and the fact that democrats couldn't stand up and support the notion that we're going to protect americans from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, shows you just how broken washington, d.c. really is. trish: your thoughts on stacey abrams? >> look, i thought it was very disappointing after the president gave a forward-facing speech, one that reached across the aisle to come out and say that the government shutdown was a stunt. it wasn't a stunt. it was designed to make sure that we're protecting citizens in the future. your children, my children and, god forbid, our grandchildren, from people coming across the border illegally and doing damage. doing harm. killing people. just on friday night of last week i was in detroit, and i met with brian kerry family, who died in the line of duty. the president highlight those problems. but the rebuttal was all about how bad things are. no jobs created, that's just a

fallacy. the american people know that we're stronger today, our state of the union is stronger, our country is stronger, and more people than ever are working, and that's what we should be talking about and be thankful for. trish: those are good things. corey, thank you so much. >> thank you. trish: president trump vowing tonight america will never be a socialist country. did ya hear that, bernie sanders? did you hear that, alexandria ocasio-cortez? socialism has no place in the united states of america. so it is time right now for you to abandon your far-left policies. we've seen what they have done to venezuela. we're talking about all that, i'll see you here next. >> tonight we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. ms. . ms. .

we stand with guaido finish. >> right. trish: we've even heard from the president. but not so emphatically as tonight. how big a deal is that in the -- >> i would think to people in venezuela who have been hoping, praying for relief from, as he said, this regime that has taken a rich country and made it a poor one, has caused a humanitarian crisis this. millions of refugees fleeing, starvation, tremendous oil wealth and it's now become essentially irrelevant in the world oil market because the government's mismanagement of its incredible natural resources. so, an important statement and, obviously, for this country as well. some people were talking on twitter about how isn't it amazing an american president has to say this, that we're not going to be socialists. [laughter] but that is, sadly, the times we're living in. trish: you know, there used to be a time when that was not a

cool thing, to be called a socialist. >> that's right. trish: that was actually a term that could be used against you, and now as we watch the democrats move increasingly left, that's suddenly envogue. and do you think that that should be a warning for americans right now when you look at a country like venezuela, only three hours from miami, that's 20 years of socialism right there on display, and we see the effects. >> yeah, you do kind of -- it is amazing given we've been getting this realtime education in socialism, and its destructive power, that meanwhile it seems to be picking up in the united states. but i guess if you wanted to look at the glasses half full, nancy pelosi didn't stand, but she did clap a little at the idea -- [laughter] trish: to me, that should be something you should stand for. >> yeah, right. trish: america's never going to be a socialist nation. and you saw the vice president stand up, you saw everyone on the conservative side there stand up, and yet the democrats -- i guess and even

nancy pelosi, you're right, she did clap a little bit, but she wouldn't stand for that. and to me, you know, our identity is not as socialists. i mean, we really -- we are capitalists that believe in safety nets. and if she doesn't understand that, if the left doesn't understand that, then we could be heading down a very bad trajectory. all this talk of 70%, 80, 90% taxes on the, quote, rich, high income earners. >> right. yeah, but i think there's a danger for the left for people who want to go down that path. because while we've been watching this disaster in venezuela from socialism, we've been seeing this american economic revival as we've gone the other way, toward less government, lower taxes, less regulation, less command and control. i think there is a danger for democrats if they keep those talking points that were written during the slow growth obama years -- trish: ah. >> and you notice they keep discussing lack of jobs and

stagnant wages -- trish: and yet! >> and those problems that existed but are now, that's not the economy we live in right now. now, let's hope it continues. there are no guarantees. but for the moment, it's a story of a vibrant, job-creating, wage-lifting economy. and i think if they don't acknowledge that success, it is a problem for democrats. trish: good speech? >> a home run. i -- it was fiercely patriot you can, it was maybe the least partisan -- patriotic, maybe the least partisan speech i've seen the president give. there were, ask is you really saw the contrast with stacey abrams when she was punching away at republicans. even when he was saying, the president, saying things democrats didn't agree with, he wasn't attacking democrats. he wasn't -- when he talked about the culture of life, he didn't say and the democrats don't want that. yeah, i thought it was very effective. trish: i agree with you. james freeman, thank you so much. the president touting the economy and his warning, listen

to his warning to democrats about the negative effect of the barrage of investigations that have our country in a standstill. here it is. >> an economic miracle is taking place in the united states, and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics sorry dick louse part -- ridiculous partisan investigations. there is going to be peace and legislation. there cannot be war and investigation. [laughter] trish: all right. joining me right now, former trump 2016 economic adviser mr. andy putser. andy, what'd you think? >> i thought the speech was a grand slam. it was probably one of the best state of the union speeches i've seen in my lifetime. he had a lot to work with. the economy's doing so

terrifically well, but it was not partisan, it was very honest, the very substantive, it reached out to the other side, it did everything you would want a president to do in a state of the union address. it was great. and i loved the line about if we're going to have peace and legislation, we can't have war and investigation. it was a -- really well done. trish: there were a lot of good lines in there. i do think it was brilliantly written, well crafted. it told the story, and it had a lot of optimism in it, which is so, i think, intrinsic with who he is. and, you know, that's important right now. don't underestimate that, right? you know as a former ceo of cke restaurants, optimism matters, doesn't it, sir? >> it matters a lot. and i'll tell you, one of the things that really got me, and i'll bet it got you too knowing you, when he said we were born free, and we will stay free, and the camera went to bernie sanders, and he didn't applaud, he didn't stand up. now, that's -- how do you not

stand up for we were born free and we will today free. that tells you everything you need to know about bernie sanders and his socialist comrades. they're not for american freedom, they want your money, they want your freedom, and they want the government to be empowered. that's really all you need to know, not to vote for them this next election. trish: yeah, well put. very, very well put. alarming, scary, but i have a lot of faith in america, i really do. and so when he said we will not be a socialist nation, andy, i believe him. and i believe him because i think that when you go out there and you talk to everyday americans, they still believe in opportunity. and they still want to dream. and they do not want to live in a world where the government takes it all and redistributes everything that you earn because somebody else can't figure out how to do it themselves. we can be there for safety nets, andy, but do we not need to empower every single american to be the best that they can be?

>> we absolutely do, and we need to educate young americans as to what socialism is and what capitalism is and the results of adopting these different economic theories. there was a poll a couple years ago that said 69%, over two-thirds of millennials, couldn't tell you, couldn't properly define socialism or capitalism. and they're fed the notion that capitalism is based on greed and socialism's based on benevolence. and in an education system controlled with by progressives and a media complex that feeds them leftist ideology as entertainment. we need to educate american youth. i hope they were watching the state of the union speech. i hope they're seeing what president trump is doing for the economy. more people working, higher wages, taking more money home. we're in this dynamic, wonderful economy. it should be resonating, i hope it's resonating. trish: i hope so too. andy puzder, thank you so much. >> thank you, trish. trish: coming up. president trump hitting a wide

range of topics in his second state of the union address, so how does this address compare to past ones? i am asking one of my most favorite presidential historians and probably yours as well. doug wheat, he's the fact is, americans move more than anyone else in the world. on average, we'll live in eleven homes. and every time we move, things change. apartments become houses, cars become mini vans. as we upgrade and downsize, an allstate agent will do the same for our protection. now that you know the truth, are you in good hands?

>> i think he needs to do it because he feels like, he feels himself losing on the issues. every single policy proposal that we have adopted and presented to the american public has been overwhelmingly popular, even some with a majority of republican voters supporting what we're talking about. trish: that's alexandria ocasio-cortez attending her very first state of the union. she didn't know when to applaud, when to stand, when not to stand, she had to look around to figure out what everybody else was doing when it was as simple as standing to defend 300 women that had been saved from human traffickers. she doesn't know what to do. but, you know what? >> she tells us we just need to be socialists, and it won't be like venezuela, huh-uh, it'll be much, much better. this is her theory, this is what she was explaining to her comrades over there watching on msnbc tonight, that somehow americans want this, that americans want their money to be stolen from them, to be redistributed and given to the

likes of her. joining me right now presidential historian doug we'd with more on all of that -- doug wead. good to see you. >> good to see you, trish. trish: walk me through the sort of flirtation that america is having with socialism now and historically how it's different or similar to what we've seen in the past. >> well, there's a lot of things that are similar, i can tell you that. my socialist friends here in the united states say american socialism will be very different from the soviet union, very different there venezuela, and we'll have freedom of speech, for example. but we already have american socialism. it's practiced at the university of california and berkeley, on many of our campuses we're experiencing socialism right now. they don't allow freedom of speech -- [laughter] so if they don't allow freedom of speech on the university of california-berkeley, how do you think it's going to be any different when they're running

the country? [laughter] it won't be. it will be the same old thing. trish: why is it that she thinks americans are responding to this now, sir? >> well, because she's from new york, she's in an echo chamber. she's hearing the same things repeated over and over on cnn. [laughter] trish: by the way, cnn hated the speech. we just had james freeman on from "the wall street journal," he's a pretty down the middle guy, and he, he -- like me -- is saying that this was truly a tremendous speech. it was well crafted, it was well delivered. now, they're not saying that over on cnn tonight. [laughter] but, you know, you have only to look at the partisan shots that stacey abrams took, i think, to understand where they're all coming from and to see that, as annty was -- andy was telling us, when they're talking about freedom and bernie sanders can't even applaud for that, we've got a problem. [laughter] >> i think donald trump crushed

it tonight, and you can tell he's had a lot of experience on the motivational circuit. i used to travel with ronald reagan on the motivational circuit. he was a great speaker. but donald trump was a master. you have to have emotion and touch the hearts of your audience, and he used all of those skills tonight. i think he was very effective. i'm glad he brought up isis again and corrected this misconception. you know, you have people out there saying that we haven't defeated isis because the idea is still out there. that's like saying we haven't won world war ii because there's still nazis. [laughter] but there's no territory they control. he spelled it out, how many square miles, there's no village they control, there's no city they control. that's defeat. [laughter] trish: doug, you looked at a lot of, and listened to a lot of presidential state of the union speeches. what struck you as different about this one? >> what struck me as so truly amazing was when lyndon johnson gave his state of the union address which was the war on

poverty and unemployment, all our hopes were in these social programs, donald trump's done it. he's given them jobs. and when we had gerald ford and the whole anguish of america was energy and our energy independence, and we found energy independence under donald trump. all these dreams are coming true. stop and think of this, justice reform, donald trump will release more young african-americans, nonviolent criminals from prison than barack obama did, some 10,000 young men will be able to start their lives again, a new life with new hope. and now he's taking on aids. i wouldn't bet against him. [laughter] trek trevor yeah. i mean, results matter. >> results matter. [laughter] trish: i think that's what you're getting at. and, granted, he's got the ability to ruffle some feathers, but sometimes when you're hard-charging and you want to get stuff done, that's just the reality of the world. >> that's right. trish: i mean, you're going to

ruffle some feathers. >> that's right. george bernard shaw said the reasonable man adapts himself to the world. the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself. therefore -- [laughter] only unreasonable men can create progress. that was george bernard shaw. trish: i love when you quote like that for me. thank you, doug. it is really good to see youen tonight. >> good to see you. trish: a very impressive speech. quite a speech. and tomorrow we have quite a show. we have a special show for you. i will be live from our nation's capital. and one of my special guests tomorrow night is secretary of state mike pompeo. we will get his reaction to everything we heard from the president tonight including on north korea, including on isis, including on china and venezuela. the story that we have been talking about night after night after night on this program because you have a revolution
