president's speech tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern the join us back here tomorrow morning at 4:00 a.m. for a special edition of "fox & friends first." heather: very early. let's keep talking about the president's speech. what do you hope to hear from him tonight? weigh in on facebook page #keep talking. fox and friends begins right now from dnc. heather: bye-bye. ♪ i want to rock ♪ i want to rock ♪ rock ♪ i want to rock ♪ brian: that's twisted sister opening up live today. are they live here now? steve: i hope not because they would wake up the president of the united states. that's a live picture as "fox & friends" kicks off today's special coverage tonight. the president of the united states is going to address a joint session of congress right back there in that building in the house of representatives side. and we have been here for the last about 15 hours and we

have had so much fun and such an exclusive interview. ainsley: we got a tour yesterday of the oval office and a little bit of the white house. we sat down with the president of the united states for exclusive interview to find out what he is going to be talking about tonight. brian: only problem is we didn't tape it. as best wee can remember, we didn't -- steve: brian, people don't tape things these days anyway it's all digital. we had wide ranging interview with the president of the united states. we are going to play hazell of it right now, half of it at the bottom of the hour. so, next stop, east room of the white house. time 3:00 yesterday afternoon. steve: mr. president, thank you vetation. >> thank you. steve: thank you for the shoutout you gave at the press conference. >> have you treated me very fairly and i appreciate it. steve: did you take much heat from that from the other networks. >> they know it's true. have you treated me very fairly.

i have been a friend of your show for a long time remember those call-ins. maybe without those call-ins somebody else is sitting here. ainsley: you spent about $54 billion in additional money for our military. senator john mccain said that is not enough. what's your reaction? >> we are going to spend a lot more money on military. we really have to. we have though choice. a lot of people think it's a tremendous amount of money. it could be actually $30 billion more than that. we are going to upgrade our military very substantially. remember this i also am going to get involved in negotiating. we have many planes and boats and ships that we're spending too much money individually on. we are going to get involved in negotiating. we are going to be able to get, i think, a lot more product for our buck. and i'm going to be very, very serious about it. we saved 700 million plus on an f-35 after i got involved. and i have to tell you lockheed was terrific. but we saved a lot of money on

airplanes and that number is going to increase very substantially as we keep going. we will be having the greatest military that we ever had by the time i finish. brian: mr. president, you will have the biggest -- if tradition means anything and i know severing a little bit different these days. >> right. brian: you will have a bigger audience for a state of the union like address. how do you plan on capturing that opportunity for yourself and for your administration? >> you know, brian, all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. we have a really terrific, i believe, healthcare plan coming out. we have to understand obamacare has been a disaster. it's way out of control. it doesn't work. we're coming out with a healthcare plan that i think will be terrific. it will be very inclusive. and i think it's going to do really what people are wanting it to do. i will be talking about that. i will be talking about the military. i will be talking about the border. remember this on the border and throughout our country,

we're getting the bad ones out. the bad people, gang members, drug lords, in some cases murderers. brian: has that not been communicated? do you think that has not been communicated effectively. >> i don't think so. maybe that's my fault. when they show people being taken out, these are people that are -- we are looking at the bad ones. i said that from day one. of the day i'm president we are getting rid of the bad ones. and a lot of people understand it. i can tell you the communities where we are removing people that are really troubling and frightening to the people who live there those communities are very, very happy. steve: sure. mr. president you are going to spend 54 billion at least on the military and the people in our audience like that. love this and you said you were going to do that all along. u. will make big spending cuts at the e.p.a. and state department. >> right. steve: where does the money come from? because it -- if you cut all the money from e.p.a. and all the money from state, that's about 50 billion. >> i think the money is going to come from a revved up economy. i mean, you look at the kind

of numbers we are doing, we have a probably g.d.p. a of a little more than 1%. if i can get that up to 3 or maybe more, we have a whole different ballgame. it's a whole different ballgame. and that's what we're looking to do. steve: to get the economy going you have got to get the affordable care act, replace and repeal and do something about classes and how close are we to either one of those? >> we are going to be doing things having to do with other countries because we are treated very, very unfairly. when we help them, even militarily, we are going to ask for a form of reimbursement which, right now, i mean, we have countries where we are taking care of their military. we are north being reimbursed and they are wealthy countries. we have a lot of things happening but we are going to get the numbers way up and get jobs back in our country. you see what i have done. ford has announced, general motors. fee at. they are all coming back into the united states. they were fleeing our country. you mentioned e.p.a. we have right now i call it

the veins of the country. we have right now hundreds and hundreds of massive deals that are tied up with environmental protection: when they are -- scoot pruitt who is terrific, just got approved. but, when he gets going, those projects are going to be freed up and sailing. you are talking about thousands and millions, actually, of jobs. ainsley: you ran on jobs. you ran on draining the swamp. you ran on repealing and replacing obamacare. when do you start to put pressure on congress, on draining the swamp to get obamacare repealed and replaced. >> i think paul ryan is terrific. i just left paul ryan and mitch mostly cloudy council. paul is working very hard. healthcare is a subject that few this it effects nine different things. few this it effects 15 different things. we have a great plan. congress is taking a lot of blame but it's not their fault. don't forget i have only been here four weeks. somebody said he hasn't done healthcare. they have been working on healthcare 30 years.

i have only been here forewhat is this my fifth week? we're set to propose a plan. and i will be talking about it as you know tonight. but we're all set to do a plan. and i think it's going to be something that's going to be really respected and you take a look at what's going on with the stock market. trillions of dollars of value have been created since i won the election. i mean, trillions. i mean the stock market is very enthused. and that's jobs. brian: have to bring back two things in your cabinet. omb director. an acts to entitlements. treasury secretary says we are not touching it. who is right? >> i will tell you what who is right. if the economy sales i'm right. i'm not touching security. brian: omb is wrong. >> i'm not saying anybody is wrong. if we and i think this is what is going to happen, brian. i think our country is going to sail. steve: you announced by twitter you are not going to the white house correspondence dinner. how come? >> i'm not a hypocrite. i haven't been treated properly. that's okay.

that is fine. steve: some the left say you can't take a joke. >> oh, do they say that? no. well, i have taken it you know, one ever the great misconceptions when president obama was up -- what is it now a long time ago, five years ago or whatever, i loved that evening. steve: you were there. >> i was there. brian: you were the target. steve: you were the piñata. >> can i be honest? i had the greatest time. i can't act like i am thrilled. i'm going to change the white house to trump house and other things. and he was very, i thought he did a good job and he was very respectful and it was fun answered enjoyed it and i left. told the press did you have a good time i said it was fantastic. the next day i read donald trump felt terrible about the evening. i loved the evening. i had a great time. brian: you said before i can take hits when it it's justified. >> correct. brian: can you give me an example of a time when someone was critical to you and you thought i deserved that hit? i deserves that column? >> no, i could probably never

do that. i'm not going to give you any ideas. brian: do you ever think to myself wow i screwed that up. >> yeah, sure. honestly, if i do that, if that does happen and if i take a hit, i won't give you any additional ammunition. over the years, you make a mistake, i fully understand when they hit you. but when they make stories up, when they create sources because of i believe that sometimes they don't have sources. you know, the sources don't exist. and sometimes they do exist. i'm not saying all sources. but i believe a lot of the sources are made up. a lot of the stories are made up. i believe a lot of the stories are pure fiction. they just pull it out of air. i just thought in light of the fact of fake news and all of the other things we are talking about now. i thought it would be inappropriate. steve: too cozy? >> no, not too cozy. i have great respect for the press. i have great respect for reporters and the whole profession. now, with all of that being said i thought it would be better if i didn't do the dinner.

that doesn't mean i'm not going to do it next year. i thought it would be better if i didn't do it. ainsley: the oscar awards, jimmy kimmel was tweeting and insinuating you were racist. what's your response? >> look it, just seems, the other side, whenever they are losing badly, they always pull out the race card. i have watched it for years. i have watched it against ronald reagan and watched it against so many other people. and they always like pulling out the race card. the fact is i did pretty well, much better than past people in the republican party in the recent election having to do with pimps. having to do with african-americans i did pretty well or i wouldn't be sitting here. if i didn't get numbers at least as good or better i wouldn't be sitting here. brian: you don't take it personal? >> i can't. because i consider it a very serious violation when they say it and i have to write it off as being purely politics. steve: big story here in washington, d.c. that sean

spicer asked his communications team okay, come on in, everybody, put your phone right over there. we have a leaker here. we're going to have the white house lawyer look at your phones. how intent are you on finding hot leaker or leakers are in your administration? not just your communications team but over at the state department, maybe the intel community, everywhere? >> well, first of all, sean spicer is a fine human being. is he a fine person. i would have done it differently. i would have gone one on one with different people. we don't have a major leak process here. we have major leak process in government. i would have handled it differently than sean but sean handles it his way and i'm okay with it. steve: did they figure out hot leaker was? >> we have sort of ideas but, don't forget, we have people from other campaigns. we have people from other governments. wee got a lot of people here. brian: i would have done it differently. i would have had one-on-one sessions with different

people. ainsley: say look at your phone. >> i might have done that things you can do a hell of a lot worse than that to be honest with you. i would have done it differently. you know he has done a very good job and that's the way he chose to do it. steve: okay. that is part one. we have got a lot more coming up at the bottom of the hour. and i will tell you what, he tells us -- i thought if we asked him to grade himself thus far, it was all going to be a plus. that's what i thought. he has a really surprising answer. ainsley: he didn't give himself an a in one category. you have to stick around and watch. we will show you one part of the interview coming up. that was a little surprising. we were taken aback by that. brian: much more to come. ainsley: we have mother of of that exclusive interview with the president. we will show you what happened right there when we go behind the scenes at the white house. steve: that's right. look at that the resolute desk in the oval office. meanwhile, somebody who will be in the room tonight when the president makes his joint

session of congress address is congressman louie gohmert. >> didn't know where you were coming from. steve: "fox & friends" continues live from our capital hey, louie. ♪ promise land ♪ wheels of detroit ♪ keep on turning ♪ sir! there's been a breach. we need your password so we can lock down the system. my password? yes, sir, we need your password. the password that i use? yes, sir, your password. there's been another breach! sir! right. okay. i-h-a... ...t-e-m-y-j-o-b-1. ihatemyjob1? wanna get away? now you can with southwest fares as low as 59 dollars one-way. yes to low fares with nothing to hide. that's transfarency.

where they are now demanding don't look over here at this breach of intelligence. let's talk about russia and flynn. the fact is they had it guys that worked on their computers had access to classified material and they are being investigated for massive amount of theft and fraud. brian: who these people. >> the capitol police are investigating. nobody i'm hearing on intelligence is investigating and, in fact, last i heard, the democrats would not even fire these guys. and i heard this weekend a rumor i'm trying to find out is it true? they let one of the guys go back to pakistan. andre carson and, you know, some great members. jackie spirit. ainsley: debbie wasserman schultz? >> debbie was sermon schultz, yeah. as far as i know they still haven't been fired but these people had access to the foreign affairs classified

information, intelligence classified information. and, by the way, we're know there were no laws broken by trump or flynn because if there were, all of the democratic operatives in the intelligence committee or community would have already leaked that. steve: absolutely. >> they are good about leaking anything that hurts republicans that would have already been out there. steve: we just heard the president about how in our interview with them there is a leaking problem across government. you know why they are doing that they are not talking about the it guy. >> yeah. steve: to change the subject. >> of course they have got to change the subject. this is a very material breach. this is serious. this has been going on for years. then we had word that they filed bankruptcy. they owed some guy a slew of money. so they put this guy on the government payroll. made 250,000. steve: what department should would he be looking at. >> i think all of the departmeing. this is a very, very material breach. and e oh, they got around the back ground check you either

have to have a background check for staff that accesses this kind of classified material or, if you work for more than one individual in congress. steve: which they did. >> then only one of the multiple employers on congress would have to do the background check and the other could say sign the form that he doesn't need it because it's already been done. they all signed the form. it's already -- it doesn't need it. it's already been done. steve: we are going too look more into it on the show. >> i'm excited. sean hannity is going to use my ticket in the gallery tonight at 10:00 p.m. ainsley: you get one guest ticket. sean will be your guest. >> let me know when you are all yesterday to go my ticket is available. steve: coming up, more exclusive interview with president trump. including the answer to this question. >> mr. president, you announced via twitter the other day you are not going to go to the white house correspondence dinner. how come? >> well, i am not a hypocrite. steve: president trump tells us why he is skipping the

date with "fox & friends." we asked him about the white house correspondence dinner. this is why he is not going. >> i have great respect for the press. i have great respect for reporters and the whole profession. but when things are written that are purposefully false, likes a an example russia. long before the campaign ended, long before the election, that was a narrative that they did and it didn't get played too much because they thought they were going to win. after they lost the election, they played that up as a way of camouflaging the fact that they lois the election. and they also camouflaged the fact that there are tremendous leaks coming out of various parts of the government from very important agencies. ainsley: here to weigh in on that is our panel "new york post" washington bureau chief daniel halper along with cnn correspondent david brode and "washington times" editor kelly riddle, thank you for being with us. i will start with you first. ladies first.

he says he is not going because the media is dishonest. do you agree. >> he is not going because the media didn't want him to go. in the weeks prior though this dinner, cnn was threatening a boycott. vanity fair canceled their dinners. margaret sullivan at "the washington post" saying now is the time to end the washington correspondence dinner all because they didn't want to celebrate with president donald trump. is he making it eyesy on them. all right, guys, you don't want me you go oond have your smug party and celebrate together and the first amendment that the president doesn't need to be a part of that. he is an invitee, the correspondence oh gets to invite and this year the president has an option. ainsley: the president every year has an opportunity to get up there and to speak to the media. he would have an opportunity to roast all the people that he says are dishonest. >> he has been roasted before at these. we remember back in 2011 where he was taken to task from that podium. look, he enjoys all of this, ainsley. he just loves this.

he knows he is the big draw for this dinner and if he doesn't go the whole thing is going to in essence fall apart at least from a p.r. standpoint. he was loving every minute of this. bottom line is his gut instincts. one thing we know about president trump he has a pretty good gut instinct is he right more often than wrong. this is probably the right move for him at this time. ainsley: daniel, the show must still go on? do we still have the white house correspondence dinner without a president. >> of course. celebrities are way to come. no way they can stand up for journalism and first amendment and take the high road. actually it would change the tenure othetennessee nor of ther all together. you can't blame him. on the one hand, it's his choice, obviously. and it would have looked disenginous war with the media if he really went and had a good time like he was inside the beltedway enjoying himself. but, on the other hand, it

would also bring down tensions with the media and i think by not going it's sure to ramp it up. there are draw backs to him not going. and i think the continued war with the media is one of them. ainsley: interesting that we have you two on the panel because you have been attacked in the public for getting your question in at the press briefing recently representing cbn and "new york post." are you surprised this reaction from him. >> a little bit. surprised at the reaction that i have been getting? ainsley: yeah. >> a little bit because i know these guys. look, i have been in the business 30 years. we have a huge audience at cbn. actually a worldwide audience. so to kind of marginalize us from some of what the mainstream media is doing is really not only disingenuous but factually inaccurate. it's been a bit frustrating. y'all got to have a thick skin in this business. ainsley: daniel? >> it's not personal. people are annoyed when they're not called on.

it's not personal people are annoyed that they're not getting attention they are not being called on themselves. ainsley: thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. ainsley: mother of our sit down with the president of the united states of america including this. ainsley: what grade would you give yourself from an a to an f? so, in one area he gave himself a c. what was it? stay tuned. we'll show you. we ship everything you atcan imagine.n, and everything we ship

brian: so earlier we showed you part one of our interview that went on for four or five hours. no, i'm only kidding. it went on for a long time. not only showing you the conversation but also showing you what happened with the white house tour. steve: of course. of the reason we talked to the president is tonight at 9:00 p.m. he will be over at the house chamber addressing the joint chamber of commerce.

we had a lot of things to ask him. here is more with our president sitting down with the president in the east room of the white house. brian: have you attacked recently mccain, the fbi, democrats. is there a method to the attacks or is it just venting? >> no method really -- it's not venting, either. i felt badly when a young denies and john mccain said that was a failed mission. according to general mattis it was a very successful mission. they got a lot of information, a lot of different things that they really wanted to get. and i thought it was he inappropriate. i thought it was inappropriate that he goes to foil soil and criticizes our government. i just think that's inappropriate. people have to be careful with that people really have to be careful with that. but it does allow me to go around dishonest media. i don't have to go around you folks. i don't have to go around a lot of the media. i do have to go around some media.

it does allow me to do that because the following is so large. between twitter and facebook and all of the different things i have so many millions of people it allows me to give a message without going to people where i'm giving them a message and putting it down differently from what i mean. ainsley: a lot of people like it. they say you are tough. they like when you go after people for attacking you. you have people attacking you on both sides of the aisle you are going after enemies on twitter they want you to stop it will you? >> most of the people that want me to stop it are the enemies, to be honest with you. the enemies would like me to stop it. if i felt the media were honest, all of it, or most of it, i wouldn't do it. but it is a modern day form of communication, especially when have you, you know, tens of millions of people like i have. steve: mr. president, you mentioned -- john mccain mention that young man who died, the navy seal who died in that mission. >> yes. steve: his father said he didn't want to talk to you. your reaction to that?

>> this was a mission that started before i got here. this was something that was, you know, they wanted to do. and they came to see me. they explained what they wanted to do the generals. who were very respected. my generals are the most leadershipped that we have had in many decades, i believe. and they lost ryan. and i was at the airport when the casket came in, the body came. in and it was a very sad with the family and it's a great family. incredible wife and children. i met most of the family. and i can understand people saying that. i would feel -- i would feel what's worse? there is nothing worse. there is nothing worse. again, this was something that they were looking at for a long time doing. and according to general mattis it was a very successful mission. they got tremendous amounts of information. brian: can we talk about president obama? you said you personally get along with him. you guys are going at each other for three or four or maybe eight years.

it turns out his organization seemed to be doing a lot of the organizing to some the protests that a lot of these republicans are seeing around the country and against you. do you believe president obama is behind it and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called unsaid president's code? >> no. i think he is behind it. i also think it's politics. that he was the way it is. look. brian: bush wasn't going after clinton. clinton wasn't getting after bush. >> you never know what's go happening behind the scenes. you are possibly right or probably right. you never know. i think president obama is behind it because his people is certainly behind it and some of the leaks possibly come from that group which are very serious leaks. they are very bad in terms of national security. but, i also understand that's politics and in terms of him being behind things that's politics. and it will probably continue. brian: does that disappoint you? don't you think that that goes beyond what we usually do this n. this country.

>> i don't use the word disappoint. i'm not surprised because i understand the way the world works. it's politics. d to do. much tougher in terms of getting the bad guys out. people don't realize he deported a lot of people. but we're focused on the bad people. we're focused on the drug lords and gang members. we're focused on a very, very bad group that are in this country that we're getting out rapidly. he was much less focused on that. ainsley: let's focus on family. he melania or the first lady and barron they are about 300 miles away. >> they are actually here right now. ainsley: are you lonely or missing them. >> i do. melania is he in charge of the whole evening forrest governors. we had 46 governors which i believe is the record or just about. i believe it's the record. we had a tremendous turnout of governors. she did a fantastic job and she is staying. she is here now. we want to let barron finish his school year. hard to take somebody out of school with a couple of months to go. very tough. brian: can we talk about what

nancy pelosi said yesterday. on the cusp of the speech. what has he done? she said basically he has done nothing. said he put wall street first, made america sick and instilled fear in immigrants. that's his accomplishments. what's your response to her. >> i have been watching nancy's statements. i have think she is incompetent, actually, if you look what's going on with the democrats and the party it's getting smaller and smaller. in a certain way i hated to see it because i like a two party system. we are soon going to have a one party system. i actually think a two party system is healthy and good. she has done a terrible job. brian: so she is wrong? >> she is not a good spokes men. there are those who say i have done more than anybody any 100 days. just look at the money i have saved. i have saved billions and billions of dollars. i brought ford back. it was a massive plant. i'm bringing fiat in. have you been reading about them on a daily basis. they are awful pouring back

into our country. those there are those who are said i have done just about more than anybody. now, when you add our healthcare that's going to be coming out soon and will be a really good healthcare, as opposed to obamacare which is a total mess, if you add the tax cuts that we're going to be doing as soon as we finish healthcare that will come out very soon the big tax cuts for business and for people. for middle class, tremendous cuts and for everybody, i think that, you know, i think i have done just about more than anybody in the first four weeks. steve: what's the one thing about this job which you thought about for a very long time that now that you have got it surprised you, like, huh, i didn't realize that. >> it started off being a surreal experience. you wake up and you are in the white house or walking through the white house and all that you do get over all of that i think the one thing that hits me more than anything else is the imagine tiewted of everything. the numbers are so big. you buy an airplane but here you are buying 3500 airplanes.

the size of the numbers are really staggering. steve: what about the people counting on you all across the country or around the world. >> 45 or 46%. one of the things they said is the level of enthusiasm for me is as strong as they have ever seen. in other words, that's a real group of people. you flow, have you other people that have a poll but if they sneeze in the wrong direction everybody disappears. brian: the protesters are also there. and they have not subsided. what's your reaction? >> well, they are there. and many of them are the ones that lost the election. now, with all of that being said, i'm going to try to bring people together. the way you do that is through success. when i create jobs. when i create a healthcare plan that works as opposed to obamacare which does not work. when we do the kind of things, when we get rid of a lot of bad players, really bad players that we're doing right now on the border, people are loving what general kelly is doing, i will tell you. i think that will change. but a lot of the people that are protesting are the people

that lost the election. ainsley: what grade would you give yourself from an a to an f? >> well,. steve: i think i know what you are going to say. brian: let's hear it. >> no, i wouldn't do that. i have think in terms of effort, which means something but i give myself an a plus, okay. effort. blue, you know, results are more important. in terms of messaging, i would give myself a c or a c plus. ainsley: why? >> so my messaging isn't good. when i see a story about donald trump didn't fill hundreds and hundreds of jobs. that's because in many cases we don't want to fill those jones. brian: have you 600 open jobs though that you can appoint. >> a lot of those jobs i don't want to appoint because they are unnecessary to have. you know, we have so many people in government. even me i look at some of the jobs and it's people over people over people. i say what do all these people do? you don't need all those jobs. brian: you are cutting those slots are not going to be.

>> that's what i mean about messaging. have you to fill hundreds of jobs. brian: no idea that you didn't want to fill them. >> many of those jobs i don't want to fill. isn't that a good thing? that's not a bad thing. that's a good thing. we are running a very good efficient government. in terms of achievement i think i would give myself an a. i think i have done great things but i don't think i and my people, i don't think we have explained it well enough to the american public. i think i get an a in terms of what i have actually done but in terms of messaging i would give myself a c or c plus. ainsley: how do you change it then? >> maybe i change it during the speech. steve: the speech is tonight at 9:00 p.m. in that building behind us. ainsley: coming up, you just heard hear the president give himself a c or c plus in messaging? how does he change that? we have lisa booth up next. brian: what happens when we get a personal tourism of the white house from pump himself?

700 million plus on an f-35 after i got involved. and i have to tell you lockheed was terrific. but we saved a lot of money on airplanes. and that number is going continue to crease very substantially as we keep going. we will be having the greatest military that we ever had by the time i finish. brian: mr. president, you'll have the biggest, if tradition means anything and i know severing different these days. you have a biggest audience for a state of the union like address this year bigger than any other year. having said that how do you plan on capturing that opportunity for yourself and for your administration? >> you know, brian, all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. we have a really terrific, i believe, healthcare plan coming out. we have to understand obamacare has been a disaster. it's way out of control, it doesn't work. we're coming out with a healthcare plan that i think will be terrific. it will be very inclusive. and i think it's going to do really what people are wanting

it to do. i will be talking about that. i will be talking about the military. i. will be talking about the border. remember, this on the border, and, throughout our country. we are getting the bad ones out. bad people. gang members. drug lords in some cases murderers. >murderers. brian: do you think that has not been communicated effectively. >> that's not my fault. when they show people being taken out. he looking at it from day one. from the day i'm president we're getting rid of the bad ones. and a lot of people understand it. i can tell you the communities where we are removing people that are really double and really frightening to a lot of the people that live there, those communities are very, very happy. steve: sure. mr. president, you're going to spend 53 billion, at least more on the military and the people who are in our audience like that, love this. and you said you were going to do that all along. i are going to make big spending cuts at the e.p.a. >> right. steve: and state department. where's the money come from?

>> well. steve: because if you cut all the money from e.p.a. and all the money from state, that's about 50 billion. >> i think the money is going to come from a revved up economy. you look at the kind of numbers we are doing, we were probably g.d.p. of a little more than 1%. if i can get that up to 3% or maybe more, we have a whole different ballgame. it's a whole different ballgame. that's what we're looking to do. steve: to get the economy going, you have got to get the affordable care act. >> right. steve: replace and repeal. >> right. steve: and do something about taxes. how close are we to either of those? >> we are going to be doing things having to do with other countries because we are treated very, very unfairly. when we help them even militarily, we're going to ask for a form of reimbursement which, right now, we have countries where we are taking care of their military and we are not being reimbursed and they are wealthy countries. we have a lot of things happening. we are going to get the numbers way up. and we're going to get jobs back in our country. you see what i have done. ford has announced. general motors, fee yacht has fs

announced. they were fleeing our country. and you mentioned e.p.a. we have right now, i call it the veins of the country. we have right now hundreds and hundreds of massive deals that are tied up with environmental protection. when they are -- scott pruitt who is terrific, just got approved. buff when he gets going, those projects are going to be freed up and they are going to be sailing. you're talking about thousands and millions, actually, of jobs. ainsley: you ran on jobs. you ran on draining the swamp. you ran on repealing and replacing obamacare. when do you start to put pressure on congress, the swamp, to get something done to repeal and replace? >> i think that paul ryan and his whole group have been terrific. i just left paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. and, you know, paul is working very hard. you know, healthcare is a very complex subject. if you do this, it effects 9 different things. if you do that it effects 15 different things. i think we have a great plan, i think congress is absolutely

taking a lot of blame but it's not their fault. don't forget, i have only been here for like four weeks. somebody said he hasn't done healthcare. they have been working on healthcare 30 years. i have only been here forewhat is this my fifth week? we're set to propose a plan. i will be talking about it, always know, tonight but we're all set to do a plan. and i think it's going to be something that's going to be really respected. you take a look what's going on with the stock market. trillions of dollars of value have been created since i won the election. i mean, trillions. i mean the stock market is very enthused. that's jobs. brian: have to bring back two things in your cabinet. omb director finally. he sells have you to take an ax to entitlements. treasury secretary says weaver not touching it. who is right? >> i will tell you who is right. if the economy sales then i'm right because i said i'm not touching social security. brian: so the omb is wrong. >> i'm not saying anybody is wrong. i think this is what is going to happen, brian. i think our country is going to sail.

steve: mr. trump you announced by twitter you are not going to the white house correspondence dinner. how come? >> i'm not a hypocrite. i haven't been treated properly. that's okay. steve: some the left say you can't take a joke. >> oh, no. do they say that? no. well, i have taken it. well, you know, one of the great misconceptions when president obama was up, what is it a long time ago five years ago or whatever, i loved that evening. i had steve you were there. >> i was there. brian: you were the target. >> i was the target. steve: you were the piñata. >> i had the greatest time. i can't act like i'm thrilled because telling jokes. saying i'm going to change everything in the white house to trump house. i thought he did a good job. he was very respectful and it was fun and i enjoyed it. i left and the press said did you have a good time? i said it was fantastic. the next day i read donald trump felt terrible about the evening. i loved the evening. i had a great time. brian: you said before i can take hits when it's justified.

>> correct, 100 percent. brian: can you give me an example of a time when someone was critical of you and you thought i deserved that hit? i deserved that column. >> no, probably i could never do that. i'm not going to give flint firefighters union any ideas. brian: do you ever think to yourself i kind of screwed that up. i kind of deserved that hit? >> sure. honestly, if i do that, if that does happen, and if i take a hit, i won't give you any additional ammunition. but, over the years, you make a mistake, i fully understand when they hematocrit you. but, when they make stories up, when they create sources because i believe that sometimes they don't have sources. you know, the sources don't exist. and sometimes they do exist. i'm not saying all sources. i have made a lot of sources are made up. a lot of the stories are made up. i believe a left the stories are pure fiction. they just pull it out of air. i thought in light fact of fake news and all of the other things that we're talking about now, i thought it would be inappropriate. steve: too cozy? >> no, not too cozy. think that, look.

i have great respect for the press. i have great respect for reporters and the whole profession. now, with all of that being said, i just thought it would be better if i didn't do the dinner. that doesn't mean i'm not going to do it next year. i just thought it would be better if i didn't do it. ainsley: mr. president, the oscar awards jimmy kimmel was tweeting. he was saying crude comments. he was insinuating at least you are racist. what's your response? >> look, it seems the other side, whenever they are losing badly, they always pull out the race card. i have watched it for years. i have watched it against ronald reagan. i have watched it against so many other people. and they always like pulling out the race card. of the fact is i did pretty well, much better than past people in the republican party in the recent election having to do with hispanics, having to do with african-americans, did pretty well or i wouldn't be sitting here. if i didn't get numbers that were at least as good or better i wouldn't be sitting here. brian: you don't take it personal? >> i can't.

because i consider it a very serious violation when they say it and i have to write it off as being purely politics. steve: big story here in washington, d.c. that sean spicer asked his communication team okay come on in, everybody. put your phone right over there. we have a leaker here. we will have the white house lawyer look at your phones. how intent on -- are you on finding who the leaker or leakers are in your administration. not just the communications team state department, maybe the intel community? everywhere? >> first of all, sean spicer is a fine human being. he is a fine person. i would have done it differently. video gone one-on-one with different people. we don't have a major leak process here. we have a major leak process in government. but i would have handled it differently than sean. but schwabb handles it his way and i'm oak with it. steve: did they figure out who the leaker was? >> we have sort of ideas. but, don't forget. we have people from other campaigns. we have people from other governments.

we got a lot of people here. brian: so you wish you wouldn't do it that way. >> i would have done it differently. i would have brought one-on-one sessions with different people. ainsley: would you say look at your phone? >> i might have done that there are things you can do hell of a lot worse than that, frankly. i would have done it differently. you know he has done a very good job and that's the way he chose to do it. steve: a little preview of what he is going to state tonight. by the way, he has invited maria scalia, widow of antonin scalia at the joint special session of congress along with the families of angel parents who have ha child or loved one killed by illegals in this country. brian: nancy pelosi is going to be bringing a dreamer that's good because they are allowed to statement dolls she know it's part of his deal with immigration reform is dreamers stay? ainsley: right, bringing undocumented immigrant tonight. steve: there is a story they

steve: fox news alert. a trip to disneyland taking horrific turn as a plane plunged from the sky in to houses in california. three passengers returning home from a cheerleading competition were killed but somehow two others managed to survive. they are in critical condition at this hour. nobody on the ground was hurt. officials trying to figure out what went wrong in riverside, california. also breaking right now a manhunt intensifying for accused killer released from jail by mistake. cops in chicago say garrett glover admitted to murdering a

father in 2012. the city demanding to know how it happened. and more than 20 jewish schools and community centers across a dozen states evacuated for bomb threats. in new york city. teachers pushing toddlers to safety in strollers. the threats happening one day after vandals danieled 500 head stones at a jewish cemetery in the city of philadelphia. and getting to the bottom of the oscars. the accountant who handed warren baity the wrong envelope was tweeting moments before the mess. he posted this photo of emma stone back stage. it has since been deleted. that could explain how they got it so wrong. ainsley: uh-oh. somebody is in trouble. repealing obamacare has been all negative. like this. watch. >> what about these announcements that say if you repeal it now millions are going to lose coverage? ainsley: g.o.p. congressman

jim jordan says not so fast. he sits on the house oversight committee and he joins us now to weigh in on this. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. ainsley: thank you for joining us. >> you bet. brian: what about all et people that aren't going to be covered that was the sunday theme with george stephanopoulos. >> right thought they can't afford it can't afford the deductible and premiums. they drove up the cost of insurance. they told americans you have to buy it and if you don't you get penalized. remember all the lies they told us. jonathan gruber the architect of obamacare told us. nine different lies. like your plan, keep your plan. like your doctor, keep your doctor. premiums will decline average $2,500. deduct tillables would go down. they told us the website would work. they told us the website was secure. emergency room visits would decline they actually went up. and co-ops that they formed were going to be wonderful. ainsley: so what are you telling us. >> we are saying let's repeal it and put the same legislation on president trump's desk that we put on president obama's desk and replace obamacare with a patient-centered, family

centered, doctored centered plan not what we have currently which is washington in control. that's what we told the voters we needed to do. not some plan that says oh we are going to repeal it but keep medicaid expansion. repeal but keep. that's not the plan we told them. we peel it and put in a patient-centered plan. steve: all these town halls that republicans are are having across the country people standing up saying hey i love my obamacare. which is crord i don't know fbi ho likes it because the deductibles are so high and can't keep your doctor. who are those people. give them a message what it is going to be like for them. >> you can protest and that's fine. we had a couple hundred in our district last week. part of our democracy and first amendment. protest that matters most is the one that took place on november 8th where americans said we want you to get rid of this law and replace it with us that empowers us. brian: speaker ryan's not plan you like. own freedom caucus has

endorsed a different plan and rand paul has a different plan. so you guys aren't each on the same page. >> rand paul and the freedom is on the same page. brian: you are not with the speaker. >> we haven't seen it first of all but what's been leaked says they are going to keep tax increases that were part of obamacare. says they are going to keep the medicaid expansion part of it and talks about whole new entitlement program under the term refundable tax credit. so that's not what we told the voters. we make this job way too hard. brian: john boehner says it's not going to get done. he just said there is no way this is going to get done. >> that's what voters say they hate when you say one thing election time and come to this town and do something else. they expect president trump to do something. is he doing it now. they expect congress to do the same thing. we have to do what the voters want us to do sent us here to do. that was not to keep parts of obamacare it was repeal it and replace it. ainsley: when will that happen a few month or year. >> it has to happen in a next few weeks. that's the schedule. that's what the american people expect. that's our task.

that's what will happen. brian: you want president trump to be more hands on than this. >> i think the president has been leading on executive orders and things he has talked about. i think he will lead on their. we got off to a good start when you talk about the executive orders he has done on hiring freeze. executive orders on the refugee the pro-life, now it's time to deliver on the big thing. repealing and replacing obamacare. reforming the tax code. securing the border. i think that's what his message is tonight and that will be appropriate. steve: we will be watching. thank you, congressman. we appreciate it. ainsley: coming up next on the rundown. more of our exclusive sit-down interview with president trump. including this. >> what grade would you give yourself from an a to an f? in one area, he actually gave himself a c. so, what was it? we're going to roll that videotape coming up. steve: you will want to see that former speaker of the house here live from our nation's capital. brian: don't jump. ♪

>> steve: well, the sun is coming up here in washington, d.c. it's going to be a busy day in our natio nation capital steve. ainsley: the president is going to speak at 9:00 tonight and we have that live. brian: one thing want to hear nor optimistic than he was at the inaugural and cpac. there is going to be millions upon millions watching the very first one. here is the continued look at our interview with president donald trump. brian: you've attacked recently mccain, the fbi, democrats. is there a method to the attacks or is it just venting? >> no method, really. it's not venting, either. but, you know, i felt badly when a young man dies and john mccain said that was a failed mission. according to general mattis, it was a very successful mission. they got a lot of information, a lot of different things they

he wanted to get. i thought it was inappropriate. he went to foreign soil and criticizes our government. i think that's inappropriate. people have to have to be careful with that people really have to be careful with that it really does allow me to go around dishonest media i don't have to go around you folks. i don't have to go around a lot of the media. i do have to go around some media. and it does allow me to do that because the following is so large between twitter and facebook and all of the different things, i have so many millions of the different people it allows me to give a message where i don't have to go through people where i'm giving a message and they are putting it down differently. ainsley: a lot of people like it. they said you are tough. going after people when they talk. people on both sides of the aisle say you are going after your enemies on twitter they want you to stop. will you? >> most of the people who want me to stop it are the enemies, i will be honest with you.

the enemies would like me to stop it. if i felt the media were honest, all of it, or most of it, i wouldn't do it. but it is a modern day form of communication especially when have you, you know, tens of millions of people like i have. steve: mr. president, you mentioned john mccain mentioning that young man who died, the navy seal who died in that mission. >> yes. steve: his father has said he didn't want to talk to you. your reaction to that? >> well, this was a mission that was started before i got here. this was something that was, you know, just -- they wanted to do. they came to see me. they explained what they wanted to do the generals who were very respected. my generals are the most respected that we have had in many decades, i believe. and they lost ryan. and i was at the airport when the casket came in, the body came in. and it was very sad with the family. it's a great family. incredible wife and children.

i met most of the family. and i can understand people saying that i would feel, you know, i would feel what's worse? there is nothing worse? there is nothing worse. again, this was something that they were looking at for a long time doing. and according to general mattis it was a very successful mission. they got tremendous amounts of information. brian: can we talk about president obama? you said you personally get along with him. you guys were going at each other for three, four, maybe eight years. it turns out his organization seems to be doing a lot of the organizing to some the protests that a lot of these republicans are seeing around the country and against you. do you believe president obama is behind it and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called unsaid president's code? >> no. i think he is behind it. i also think it's politics. that's the way it is. look. brian: bush wasn't going after clinton. clinton wasn't going after bush. >> you never know what's exactly happening behind the scenes you are probably right or possibly right. you never know. i think president obama is behind it because his people

are certainly behind it and some of the leaks, possibly come from that group. so leaks which are very serious leaks because they are very bad in terms of national security. but i also understand that's politics and in terms of him being behind things, that's politics. and it will probably continue. brian: does that disappoint you? don't you think that that goes beyond what we usually do in this country? >> i don't use the word disappoint. i'm not surprised because i understand the way the world works. it's politics. i'm changing things that he has wanted to do. much tougher in terms of getting the bad guys out. people don't realize he deported a lot of people. but we're focused on the bad people. we're focused on the drug lords and the gang members. we're focused on a very, very bad group that are in this country that we're getting out rapidly. he was much less focused on that. brian: talk about what nancy pelosi said yesterday. here we are on the cusp of first major speech and the question was what has he done?

basically he has done nothing. he has put -- he put wall street first. he made america sick and h he instilled fear in immigrants. that was his accomplish. s. what was your response to her. >> i have been watching nancy's statements. she is incompel tent, equally, when you look what is going on with the democrats and the party it's getting smaller and smaller. in a certain way i hate to see it because i like a two-party system. we're soon going to have a one-party system. i actually think a two-party system is healthy and good. she has done a terrible job. brian: she is wrong. >> i don't think she is a good spokesman. there are those who say i have done more than anybody in 100 days. look at the money i have saved. i have saved billions and billions of dollars. i brought ford back from mexico. ford was going with a massive plant. i brought fiat in. i'm bringing in all these incredible companies. you have been reading about them on daily basis. they are all pouring back in to our country. there are those that say i

have done just about more than anybody. when you add our healthcare that will be come out soon and will be a really good healthcare as opposed to obamacare which is a total mess, if you add the tax cuts that we're going to be doing as soon as we finish healthcare, that will come out very soon, the big tax cuts for business and for people. for middle class tremendous cuts and for everybody. i think that, you know, i think i have done just about more than anybody in the first four weeks. steve: what's the one thing about this job which have you thought about for a very long time that now that you have got it surprised you like i didn't realize that. >> well, it started off being a surreal experience. you know, you wake up and you are in the white house or walking through the front door of the white house. i think what hits me more than anything else is the magnitude of everything. the function are so big. you buy an airplane but here you are buying 3500 airplanes. the size of the numbers are really staggering.

steve: what about the people who are counting on you all all across the country or around the world. >> the polls great e 46%. the level of the enthusiasm for me is as strong as they have ever seen: have you another people that have a poll but if they sneeze in the wrong direction everybody disappears. brian: protesters are also there and they have not subsided. what's your reaction? >> well, they are there. and many of them are the ones that lost the election. now, with all of that being said, i'm going to try and bring people together. the way you do that is through success. when i create jobs. when i create a healthcare plan that works as opposed to obamacare, which does not work. when we do the kind of things, when we get rid of a lot of bad players, really bad players that we're doing right now on the border, people are loving what general kelly is doing, i will tell you. i think that will change. but, a lot of the people that are protesting are the people that lost the election. brian: you have 600 open jobs

though that you can appoint. >> a lot of those jobs i don't want to appoint because they are unnecessary to have. you know, we have so many people in government, even me i look at some of the jobs and it's people over people over people. i safe what do all these people do? you don't need all those jobs. brian: you are cutting. those. >> that's funny. that's what i mean about messaging. you have to fill hundreds of jobs. brian: no idea you didn't want to fill them? >> many of those jobs i don't want to fill. hundreds and hundreds of jobs totally unnecessary jobs. and instead of being credited with that bad messaging, they say oh, you have to fill hundreds of jobs. i say isn't that a good thing? that's not a bad thing. that's a good thing. we are running a very good, efficient government. ainsley: what grade would you give yourself from an a to an f? steve: i think i know what you are going to say. brian: let's hear it. >> no. i wouldn't do that. i think in terms of effort, which means something but i

give myself an a plus, okay. effort. but that's, you know, results are more important. in terms of messaging, i would give myself a c or a c plus. ainsley: why? >> in terms of achievement, i think i would give myself an a. because i think i have done great things but i don't think i have -- i and my people, i don't think we have explained it well enough to the american public. i think -- i think i get an a in terms of what i have done but in terms of messaging c or c plus. ainsley: how are you going to change that then. >> i think i change it during the speech. steve: that's good. >> frankly, i'm going to be discussing a lot of those things. steve: the speech tonight from the big building behind us 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. brian: very curious to see how that comes off. very curious to see how the rest of the show is going to be. i just heard the president. >> come on, brian, we have heard from you guys enough. brian: heckling has already started. steve: the speaker is speaking

up he is live from our nation's capital. ainsley: he wants you to be quiet. we need to hear the speaker speak, brian. >> good luck, brian. big city with a lot of opportunities. [laughter] ♪ in your radio ♪ how do you like me now ♪ ♪ pay

ainsley: just minutes ago you heard president trump give himself an a plus for effort and an a for achievement, but a c plus for messaging and how can he change that? we asked him about that. we're here to weigh in on that is the former speaker. steve: hello newt gingrich. so you were watching the interview earlier today. >> i did. i thought it was tremendous. steve: his c plus surprised us that he didn't give himself a

plus for messaging. >> it's surprising but also pleasing. i thought it was accurate. i mean, i have watched him in the first few weeks really begin to grow in to the job. i thought this interview was as good as he has been partly because he was this is not a guy who gives himself a c easily. i'm glad he didn't blame anybody else. he is the guy because of the power of his voice and his tweets and everything else. he has got to think through how he is going to message because nobody else can do it for him. you can't surround donald trump and get him to do things. brian: they are trying to create this whole thing with russia, should there be a special investigator and should debra nunez right or adam schiff right? he says -- how does he get control of the media message again. >> on that particular topic they ought to take a lesson from the past. ronald reagan and others, find

a very smart, independent person, maybe somebody like michael mukasey the former attorney general. put them in charge of the whole project and say there are questions here. the country has questions. the media has questions. even members of congress has questions. you better have one person who coordinates the administration on that topic. because it's the kind of thing that can grow and it looks early on like it's not a big deal and then one morning it's a big deal to deal with. the earlierier they have a central person directing their efforts less problem it will be and faster it will go away. >> they are trying to begin this up into something big. >> you don't need to have somebody out there on television. you better have somebody inside who pulls everything together and thinks in advance. what are the next questions going to be? how do we smother them? >> work for the white house who get the message out. >get ahead of the curve. >> what can we expect tonight from the speech and what would be your advice to him if he is watching?

>> i think it's going to be a very visionary speech. it's going to be a very positive speech. i think to a degree people -- have you got to appreciate he has really thought about this. he has a general direction he wants the country to go in. he was very good with you guys talking about the importance of economic growth. and then i think he understands that he is -- you know, he was et candidate of jobs and growth and take home pay and now he has got to deliver. i think tonight he is going to lay out a pretty sophisticated strategy for getting the job done. brian: not many people think he has he reached out effectively to democrats. we have seen the photo op. joe manchin and donley and some of the moderates. what would you do to reach out to the other side. >> i would reach out to joe manchin and donley. steve: what he is doing? >> is he not going to get anything out of nancy pelosi. brian: schumer? >> he may get to schumer. is he enormously cross pressured by the left. if schumer said i have known

trump for years we can get along well create a build build some freezing rain structure the democrats will kill him. negative and hostile. steve: i talked to chuck schumer briefly yesterday weighs on the airplane when we came down. what do you want to hear your friend from new york say tomorrow night? >> he said something real. not just words. something big like maybe infrastructure. he. >> thank you. he. steve: next up from the rundown "fox & friends" live from washington, d.c. what happens when we get a tour from the president from the white house himself? we have got the pictures we are going to play for you next ♪ go, go ♪ go big or go home ♪ go, go ♪ go big or go home ♪ ♪ but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor... t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

the oval office and give you a sense of what that is like. towers and buildings around the world i really sense he is in awe of the white house. ainsley: i do too. steve: absolutely. ainsley: he says he is finally getting used to it. i don't think you realize until you pointed that out that you could see his hotel. steve: from that resolute desk right there he can look out the window and see the trump hotel here on 1300 pennsylvania. he lives at 1600. ainsley: he said he brought a decorator from new york into the white house. he said we don't need the decorator. brian: everything you want downstairs. ainsley: president trump announced a plan to spend $54 billion on our military. who is going to pay for that? brian: his answer in our exclusive interview that's coming up at the top of the hour. this is florida georgia line can we make this louder ♪ this is what we do ♪ baby this is how we roll ♪als.

and say wait a second. he's going to be here for four years, stop screaming and shouting and making posters against him, that means you, rosie o'donnell. steve: wait a second. is she watching right now? brian: i think she's a big fan, although i have no proof. here's a look at part one with the president that took place last night olympics president, thank you very much for the invitation. trump: thank you. steve: and, by the way, thank you for the shout out you gave at the press conference about ten days ago. trump: that's right. you have treated me very fair. steve: did you take other heat from that from the other networks? trump: no, i think they know it's true. remember those callins; right? steve: for years. trump: maybe without those callins, somebody else was sitting here. ainsley: let's talk about you talked about spending $54 billion in additional money for our military. senator john mccain has said that's not enough. what's your reaction?

>> well, we're going to spend a lot more money on military. we really have to. we have no choice. and people think it's a tremendous amount of money. it could be actually $30 billion more than that. we're going to upgrade our military very substantially. remember this. i also am going to get involved in negotiating. we have many planes and boats and ships and everything that we're spending too much money individually on. we do get involved in negotiating. we're going to be able to get, i think, a lot more product for a buck, and i'm going to be very, very serious about it. we saved 700 million plus on a f35 after i got involved, and i have to tell you lockheed was terrific, but we saved a lot of money on airplanes, and that number is going to increase substantially as we keep going. we will be having the greatest military that we ever had by the time i finish. brian: mr. president, you'll have the biggest tradition means anything, and i know it's different these days.

you'll have the biggest audience for the state of the union-like address this year. how do you plan on capturing that opportunity for yourself and for your administration? trump: you know, brian, all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. we have a really terrific, i believe, health care plan coming out. we have to understand obamacare has been a disaster. it's way out of control. doesn't work. we're coming out with a health care plan that i think will be terrific. it will be very inclusive, and i think it's going to be really what people are wanting it to do. but i'll be talking about that. i'll be talking about the military. i'll be talking about the border. and remember this, on the border and throughout our country, we're getting the bad ones out. the bad people. gang members, drug lords, in some cases murderers. brian: has that not been communicated? do you think that has not been communicated effectively? trump: i don't think so. maybe it's my fault. but when they show people

being taken out -- we're looking at the bad ones, and i say that from day one. i said from the day i'm president, we're getting rid of the bad ones and a lot of people understand it. i can tell you the communities that we're removing people are really troubling and frightening a lot of the people that live there, those communities are very, very happy. steve: sure. mr. president, you're going to spend 54 billion, at least, on the military and the people in our audience like that and love this, and you were going to do that all along. you're going to have big spending cuts at epa and state department. where does the money come from? if you cut all the money from epa and state, that's about 50 billion. >> well, i think the money is going to come from a revved up economy. if you look at the numbers, we were probably gdp a little more than 1%. and if i can get that up to 3 or maybe more, we have a whole different ball game. it's a whole different ball game, and that's what we're looking to do.

steve: but to get the economy going, you have to get the affordable care act replaced and repealed and something about taxes. and how close are we to each of those? trump: we're going to be doing things with other countries because we're treated very, very unfairly. when we do something with our military, we're going to ask for reimbursement. we're doing things for countries right now and they're wealthy countries. we do get the numbers back up, and we do get jobs back in our country. ford has announced, general motors, fe fiat, they're all coming back into the united states, and they were fleeing. they were fleeing epa. we have right now hundreds and hundreds of massive deals that are tied up with environmental protection. when they are terrific just got approved but when he gets going, those projects are going to be freed up, and

they're going to be sailing, and you're talking thousands and millions actually of jobs. ainsley: you ran on jobs. you ran on draining the swamp, you ran on appealing obamacare. when do you put pressure on congress to repeal and replace. trump: well, i think paul ryan has been great. you know, health care is a very complex subject. if you do this, it affects nine different things, if you do this, it affects 15 different things. i think we have a great plan, and i think congress is taking a big blame. don't forget, i've been here for four weeks. they've been working on health care for 30 years. i've only been here -- what is this? my fifth week? i'll be talking about it as you know tonight, but we're all set to do a plan, and i think it's going to be something that's going to be really respected and take a look at what's going on with the stock market.

trillions of dollars of value have been created since i won the election. i mean, trillions. no, i mean the stock market is very enthused, and that's jobs. brian: but you have to bring in two things in your cabinet. an omb director finally. he says you have to take acts to developments. your treasury secretary says you're not touching it. who's right? trump: well, i tell you who's right. if the economy sales, i'm right. i'm not touching social security. brian: so not wrong. trump: i think our country's going to sale. steve: mr. president, you announced via twitter the other day you're not going to go to the white house correspondence dinner. how come? trump: well, i'm not a hypocrite, and i haven't been treated properly. and that's okay. that's fine. steve: some of the left say you just can't take it -- trump: do they say that? no. well, i've taken it. you know, one of the great misconceptions when president obama was up -- now long time ago. five years ago or whatever. i loved that evening.

steve: you were there. trump: i was there. brian: you were the target. steve: you were the piñata. trump: i can't act like i was thrilled. changing the white house to trump house and other things. and he was very -- i thought he did a great job. he was very respectful, and it was fun. and i left and told the pres -- they said did you have a good time? i said it was fantastic. the next morning they said donald trump felt terrible. i loved it. brian: you said i can take hits when it's justified. can you find a time when you think i deserved that? i deserved that column? trump: no, i'm not going to give you any ideas. brian: do you ever think wow i kind of screwed that up? trump: yeah, sure. and honestly if i do that, if that does happen, and if i take a hit, i won't give you any additional ammunition. but over the years, you make a

mistake, i fully understand when they hit you. but when they make stories up, when they create sources, because i believe sometimes they don't have sources, you know, the sources don't exist. and sometimes they do exist. i'm not saying all seve a lot oe sources are made up. a lot of the stories are made up. i believe a lot of the stories are pure fiction they just pull it out of air. i just thought in light of the fact of fake news and all of the things that we're talking about now, i thought it would be inappropriate. steve: too cozy? trump: no, not too cozy. i think that -- look, i have great respect for the press. i have great respect for reporters and the whole profession. now, with all of that being said, i just thought it would be better if i didn't do the dinner. that doesn't mean i'm not going to do it next year, but i thought it would be better if i didn't do it. ainsley: mr. president, the oscar awards, jimmy kimmel, he was tweeting, he insinuated, at least, that you're racist. what's your response? trump: well, look, it just

seems the other side whenever they're losing badly, they pull out the race cards. and i've watched it for years. i watched it against ronald reagan, i watched it against so many other people, and they always like pulling out the race card. the fact is i did pretty well, much better than past people in the recent election having to do with hispanics, having to do with african-americans. did pretty well -- or i wouldn't be sitting here. if i didn't get numbers that were at least as good or better, i wouldn't be sitting here. brian: you don't take it personal? trump: i can't because i consider it a very serious violation when they say it, and i have to write it off as being purely politics. steve: big story here in washington d.c. that sean spicer saying. okay. come on in, everybody. put your phone right here. we have a lyric here. we're going to have a white house lawyer look at your phones. how intent are you on finding who the lyric is or leakers

are in your team? maybe the state department, intel community, everywhere. trump: well, first of all, sean spicer is a wonderful human being. i would have done it differently. i would have done it one-on-one with different people. and we don't have a major leak process here. we have a major leak process in state government. steve: did they figure out who the lyric was? trump: we have ideas but don't forget. we have people from other campaigns, we have people from other governments. we have a lot of people here. brian: so you wish you could have done it that way. ainsley: how would you do it? trump: i would have done it one-on-one. i might have done that i mean, you know, there are things that you can do that are a hell of a lot worse, i'll be honest with you. but i think i would have done it differently. but, you know, he's done a very good job, and that's the way he choose to do it. steve: okay. so there you

have the president saying he's going to pay for the increase in defense with a revved up economy. ainsley: yeah, and john mccain said that's not enough. it will be possibly another 30 billion, whatever is neede needed. brian: and pull down all the major contracts. meanwhile. ainsley: you just heard president trump saying he's ready to put pressure on congress to repeal and replace obamacare. so will that work? brian: laura ingram is the only one who knows. she's next. i realize that ah, that $100k is not exactly a fortune. well, a 103 yeah, 103. well, let me ask you guys. how long did it take you two to save that? a long time. then it's a fortune. well, i'm sure you talk to people all the time who think $100k is just pocket change. right now we're just talking to you.

i told you we had a fortune. yes, you did. getting closer to your investment goals starts with a conversation. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today. i trained as hard as i could when i was a navy seal, to stay alive. i have more than 30 pieces of shrapnel still in my leg. but i still push myself to the limit. if it weren't for my tempur-pedic, i wouldn't be able to sleep on my left side at all. my unit put in a special request to get one and i realized that tempur-pedic was exponentially better than anything else. it gave me a huge performance advantage, it still does. tempur-pedic. this sleep is power.

there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kid-friendly to kid-free. now i can start relaxing even before the vacation begins.

your vacation is very important. that's why booking.com makes finding the right hotel for the right price easy. visit booking.com now to find out why we're booking.yeah trump: you know, health care is a very complex subject. if you do this, it affects nine different things, if you do this, it affects 15 different things. i think we have a great plan, and i think congress is absolutely taking a lot of blame, but it's not their fault. and don't forget, i've only been here for, like, four weeks. someone said he hasn't done health care. they've been working on ethnic 30 years. i've only been here -- what is

this any my fifth week? >> it seems like we never stop talking about health care. >> it's like a hot potato. you take it. no, you take it. all the folks in capitol hill behind us they're, like, we need some guys from the trump team. i guess he worked for the guy who challenged the governor of connecticut and ran that strategy. i hope he does better in the career liaison position than he did for running -- my home state, sorry, it's near and dear to my heart. ainsley: the president saying give me a chance. give me a break. it's only been 40 days. do you think it's enough? >> well, i think health care it's a big one. it's one of the centerpieces of the campaign. it must be explained -- you have to do it -- it's almost like we want president trump to do kind of a weekly, you know, discussion session or tutorial on these really complicated issues because i think once people understand if health care is reform ride, the cost can actually drop 60

to 70% for most procedures. right now there's any trust protections in for much of the health care industry, which frankly should be gone. pharmaceutical companies charge way more to american consumers of prescription drugs than our oecb counterparts in europe and so forth. all of that should be changed. but there are a lot of pressure on capitol hill not to change those things because of campaign contributions and the like. it's complicated but we all knew it was complicated. and it's not a simple deal. but what's -- what has to happen is we have to remove the protections that allow for transparency in pricing and procedures. and just like lasik surgery that i got back in '98, it was expensive. by the way, who are you? could it be any brighter in this studio, by the way? i'm boiling. the cost has come down. why this true pricing, that has to happen. steve: i was looking at your

twitter, and you tweed out on live set right now, a minister of truth. steven miller, and you also talk about bannon as well. >> they're obsessed with bannon and miller. instead of actually reporting on what happens to our economy, our middle class, whether our foreign policy or domestic policy, the intrigue stories have been plaguing washington and frankly new york as well for too many years. it's fun to have a human interest story every now and then. but the idea that steve bannon and steven miller are the evil forces that are keeping real reform from happening, it's perfect posterrous. both of them are working really har hard. but trump has had that view since the late '80s. he gave interviews about trade and immigration. this is not the idea of a top

few staffers in the white house. brian: not many people have. >> he's a good friend. he's dedicated, he's extremely smart. he's thinking about long-term strategy, and he's thinking about as -- in his office, he has a printout of all the promises. just xerox paper of all the promises that trump made, and they're one by one. steve: checking them off. >> and there's no pictures on the wall. just the desertion paper with the promises. pretty interesting. steve: laura, thank you very much. >> that's it? i get to have catering in the other room? steve: we have scrambled eggs up here. ainsley: you might want to take a nap. brian: laura, thank you. steve: meanwhile, coming up president trump announcing plans to spend 54 billion on our military, maybe more. democratic senator joe mansion as you can see has joined us at 101 constitution here. in our nation's capitol. good morning, senator.

brian: and there's the woman that called you out. >> yeah. i called you out. brian: i believe it gets better and better and better, we go behind the scenes in the white house. that's joe mansion. standing in front of laura ingram. i never thought that would happen. ♪ ♪

oh, how waso good!en house? did you apply? oh, i'll do it later today. your credit score must be amazing. my credit score? credit karma. it's free. that's great! um hm. just whip bam boom, it's done. that apartment is mine! credit karma. give yourself some credit. energy is amazing. how we use it is only limited by our imagination. and at southern company

we're building the future of energy, for you.

trump: we're going to spend a lot more money on military. we have to. we don't have a choice. and a lot of people think it's a tremendous amount of money. it could be $30 billion more than that. we're going to upgrade our

military very substantially. >> and that's expected to be the focus in tonight's address before congress, as well as outlining the overall budget. senator mansion will be there tonight and joining us in dc. you're not boycotting; right? >> not at all. brian: do you know anything going on amongst your party? >> no. i think basically we had a caucus yesterday and chuck schumer was saying, listen. he asked everybody, you know, to do it with the respect we had for the office. brian: so one of the questions we had with him yesterday, the president of the united states was, listen, you're putting another 56 billion into the military. john mccain says it's not enough. >> well, let me just say, first of all, i think all of us, i know i am. i want to make sure west coast best equipped military innovative and creative, the best equipment. with that being said also, we have a businessman that's running the white house. running this government, running this country. president trump i believe if anybody can make sure that we're getting the best bang for our buck. i want to make sure that we've been trying for years. i've been here for six years trying to get audit on the

department of against. it's the only agency we don't have a complete audit on. brian: how do they push back? >> it just continues -- they just slow roll you. you get slow rolled. brian: well, there was a commission. and the commission couldn't even get to meet president obama with their findings. this blue ribbon committee. >> i don't know but i can tell you one thing there was a commission that came back and said there's $125 billion that we can't account for. now, if you want to raise it, that's fine, i'm all for it. if we need it, we'll do it. and we'll take any sacrifice we can with our military to keep our country safe. with that being said, this president can make sure we're getting the best bang for our buck. how we do procurements. how we buy. i'm not going to pay $4 billion for air force one. it's too much all the way through. brian: senator, are you being -- talking to the white house, i've seen you there at least two times, a meeting. i saw you at the trump tower a couple of times. tell me about your relationship. >> we have a great relationship. we're able to talk about any subject and talk frankly about

it. and the bottom line is experience i've had here, and i'm a businessperson also, but also being in public service, being a former governor on a different scale knowing that the decisions he has to make. he has to make sure that he's getting really honest information coming in and people wanting him to succeed. i'm a democrat, and i want him to succeed. he's my president. i want him to do well, but i think i have to be an honest broker and say mr. president, you have to be careful what they're telling you here. the same thing on the cuts. they're talking about these cuts coming from contingency spending. there are a lot of people depending on that. also a lot of redundancy all through government and talking about there's a lot of people he doesn't want to hire. brian: that's what he mentioned to us today. >> that's fine and showing us the redundancy, and i think you'll have the support. as long as we're not cutting the services that basically people are depending on. brian: physically there's anything done in a bipartisan way, president will lead the charge. you've already met with this

president more. >> more than in a month that be six years previously. brian: with the past president? >> yes. brian: we can't come to dc without quality time with joe mansion. how to disrupt president trump's first address to congress. so we asked him what did he have to say to some of his biggest critics? trump: i've been watching nancy's tape, and i think she's incompetent, actually, if you look at what's going on with the democrats and the party. brian: right. he diagnosed her. more with our exclusive interview with the commander-in-chief. plus he's used to doing dirty jobs but today mike row is taking to congress. but first he promised to stop and join us live. i hope he cleans up. liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. i just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. my insurance company definitely doesn't have that...

steve: it has been so much fun here in washington d.c. as you know we got the exclusive morning show first interview with the president of the united states. the rule was that it would be in the east room of the white house, and it would be about a 20-minute interview. we have already run ten minutes so far this hour. ainsley: yeah, we sat down with him in the east room, and then we got a tour through the oval office. so that part is going to air on thursday. brian: yeah, the president wanted to talk longer, but we have a schedule, and we wanted to run, and i felt bad cutting him off. steve: actually, when we were in the oval office, there was a group going come on, come on. brian: i think the head of that group was called reince priebus. steve: he was there. ainsley: if you're just waking up, and you haven't seen part of that interview, here we go. brian: you've attacked recently mccain, the fbi, democrats, is there a method

to the attacks or just venting? trump: no method, really. it's not venting either. but i felt badly when a young man dies and john mccain says that was a failed mission. according to general mattis, that was a very successful mission. they got a lot of information, a lot of different things that they wanted to get, and i thought was it was inappropriate. and i thought it was inappropriate that he goes to foreign soil and criticizes our government. i just think that's inappropriate. and, you know, people have to be careful with that. people really have to be careful with that. but it does allow me to go around dishonest media. i don't have to go around you folks. i don't have to go a lot of the media. but i do have to go around some media. and it does allow me to do that because the following is so large between twitter and facebook and all of the different things. i have so many millions of people, it allows me to give a message without necessarily having to go through people where i'm giving them a message, and they're putting

it down differently from what i mean. ainsley: a lot of people like it. they say they're glad you're going after people. you're going after your enemies on twitter they want you to stop it, will you? trump: well, most of the people that want me to stop it are the enemies. the enemies would like me to stop it. if i felt the media were honest, all of it or most of it, i wouldn't do it. but it is a modern day form of communication, especially when you have, you know, tens of millions of people like i have. steve: mr. president, you mentioned john mccain mentioning that young man who died, the navy seal who died in that mission, his father has said that he didn't want to talk to you. your reaction to that. trump: well, this was a mission that was started before i got here. this was something that was, you know, just they wanted to do. they came to see me. they explained what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected. my generals are the most

respected that we've had in many decades, i believe. and they lost ryan. and i was at the airport when the casket came in, the body came in, and it was very sad with the family, and it's a great family, incredible wife and children. i met most of the family. and i can understand people saying that. i feel, you know -- i'd feel what's worse? there's nothing worse. there's nothing worse. but, again, this is something that they were looking at for a long time doing. and according to general mattis, it was a very successful mission. they got tremendous amounts of information. brian: can we talk about president obama? you said you have been personally going after him. you guys have been going at each other for eight years. it turns out his organization is doing a lot of the organizing to the protests that a lot of the republicans are seeing around the country and against you. do you think president obama's behind it? and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called

unsaid president's code? trump: no, i think he is behind it. i also think it's politics. that's the way it is. but, look, -- brian: but bush wasn't going after clinton and clinton wasn't going after bush. trump: well, you never know what's happening behind the scenes you're probably right or possibly right but you never know. i think president obama's behind it because there are certain people behind it and some of the leaks possibly come from that group. some of the leaks, which are really very serious leaks because they're very bad in terms of national security. but i also understand that's politics. and in terms of him being behind things, that's politics. and it will probably continue. brian: does that disappoint you? don't you think that goes beyond what we usually do in this country? trump: i don't use the word disappoint. i'm not really surprised because i understand the way the world works. it's politics. i'm changing things that he wants to do. much tougher in terms of getting the bad guys out. you know, people don't realize, he deported a lot of people.

but we're focused on the bad people. we're focused on the drug lords and the gang members. we're focused on a very, very bad group in this country that we're getting out rapidly. he was much less focused on that. brian: we were talking about nancy pelosi and the question is what has he done? basically he's done nothing. he's put -- it said he put wall street first, he made america sick, and he instilled fear in ingram. what is your response? trump: i think she's incompetent, actually, if you look at what's going on with the democrats and the party. it's getting smaller and smaller. you know, in a certain way i hate to see it because i like a two-party system, and we're soon going to have a one-party system. i think a two-party system is healthy and good. brian: so she's wrong? >> she's certainly a good spokesman. look, just at the money i've saved.

i've saved billions and billions of dollars. i brought ford back from mexico. ford was going with a massive plant. i brought fiat in. i'm bringing in all of these incredible countries. you've been reading about them on a daily basis. they're all pouring back into our country. i mean, there are those that are saying i've done just about more than anybody. now, when you add our health care that's going to be coming out soon and will be a really good health care as opposed to obamacare, which is a total mess, if you add the tax cuts that we're going to be doing as soon as we finish health care, that will come out very soon, the big tax cuts for business and for people for middle class, tremendous cuts and for everybody. i think that, you know, i think i've done just about more than anybody in the first four weeks. steve: what's the one thing that you thought about this job that now you got it surprised you. like, wow i didn't realize that. trump: well, it started off being a surreal experience.

you know, you wake up, and you're in the white house, or you walk through the front door, and it's the white house and all of that. but you do get over that. i think the one thing that hits me more than anything else is the magnitude of everything. the numbers are so big. you buy an airplane but here you're buying 3,500 airplanes. the size of the numbers are really staggering. and the -- steve: what about the people who are counting on you across the country? trump: the love is great, and i saw a poll at 45 or 46%. but one of the things they said is the level of enthusiasm for me is as strong as they've ever seen. in other words, that's a real group of people, you know? you have other people that have a poll but if they sneeze in the wrong direction, everybody disappears. brian: but the protesters are also there, and they have not subsided. that -- what's your reaction? trump: well, they are there and many of them are the ones that lost the election. now, with all of that being said, i'm going to tribring people together. and the way you do that is through success. when i create jobs, when i create a health care plan that

works as opposed to obamacare which does not work. when we do the kind of things, when we get rid of a lot of bad players, really bad players that we're doing right now on the border, people are loving what general kelly is doing, i think that will change. but a lot of the people that are protesting are the people that lost the election. brian: you have 600 open jobs, though, that you could appoint. what's going on? trump: a lot of those jobs i don't want to appoint because they're unnecessary to have. you know, we have so many people in government, even me. i look at some of the jobs, and it's people over people over people. i say what do all of these people do? you don't need all those jobs. now, they'll be -- brian: so you're cutting. those slots are not going to be filled. trump: you have to fill hundreds of jobs. brian: but you don't want to fill them. trump: many of those jobs i don't want to fill. there are hundreds and hundreds of jobs that are totally unnecessary jobs. and instead of being credited with that, bad messaging, they say, oh, you have to fill hundreds of jobs. i say isn't that a good

thing? that's not a bad thing. that's a good thing. we're running a very good, efficient government. ainsley: what grade would you give yourself from an a to a f? steve: i think i know what you're going to say. brian: let's hear it. trump: i wouldn't do that. i think in terms of effort, which means something i give myself an a-plus. effort. but that's -- results are more important. in terms of messaging, i would give myself a c or c plus. ainsley: why? trump: in terms of achievement, i think i would give myself an a because i think i've done great things, but i don't think i -- i and my people, i don't think we've explained it well enough to the american public. i think i get an a in terms of what i've actually done but in terms of messaging, i give myself a c or c plus. ainsley: how do you change that? trump: well, i think i change it during the speech. steve: and the speech tonight

you'll see it right here fox news channel. the title of it is renewal of american spirit. it's going to be three parts. the first part is where he's going to go over the campaign promises he has already kept. the second part is talking about the american future with the economic looking forward about jobs and opportunities and the third part is going to be national security, defense, border, vets, and how he's going to spend another $50 billion on the pentagon. brian: the rebuttal, it will be the former governor of kentucky. ainsley: and rosie o'donnell will be out here protesting. brian: i guess her schedule is open now. steve: we didn't just get a sit-down interview with the commander-in-chief, we also got a tour of the white house. what happened? we'll take you inside because we had cameras. ainsley: plus he's used to doing dirty jobs but today mike row is here to take to congress. brian: hey, how are you doing? americans - 83% try to eat healthy.

yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one a day women's in gummies and tablets.

there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kid-friendly to kid-free. now i can start relaxing even before the vacation begins. your vacation is very important. that's why booking.com makes finding the right hotel for the right price easy. visit booking.com now to find out why we're booking.yeah

ainsley: president trump is making good on his promise to make america work again. trump: we do get jobs back in our country. ford has announced, fiat has announced, they're all building big plants coming back into the united states. they were fleeing. they were fleeing our country. steve: but one man who wants to make sure jobs stay in america, he's going to testify in capitol hill about the importance of blue-collar jobs. brian: joining us this morning is tv host mike row, mr. personality. is this true? >> the mr. personality part or the fact that i'm here? brian: no, the fact that you are here. >> i am.

i'm going to be right over there in about 20 minutes or so. brian: what's your message? >> i'm going to speak in a well modulated tone, i'm going to make eye contact, i'm going to shake a hand firmly, and i'm going to suggest that the skills gap is every bit as important as unemployment and the presence of 5.6 million available jobs right now that people don't seem excited about. we should talk about and the best way to close that skills gap is to aaffirmatively make a case about opportunities that actually exist. steve: sure. absolutely. but, unfortunately, a lot of schools have gotten rid of wood shop. i learned how to weld, which to this day is going to be my back up. if things went haywire, i'm going to be a welder. >> well, you learned more than just welding. you learned how to start a thing. you learned chemistry, whether you knew it or not. because the welding torch is hot. brian: ainsley knows that.

she's also going to be a welder. ainsley: i don't know how to weld. but i love that you say this. they like to start a job. >> well, i think on dirty jobs, the biggest lesson. people always ask me. what does this group of people seem to know that the rest of us don't? that sense of completion is somewhere near the top. and the idea not to ove overromanticize it but there is a band of mentality. they all know if they all call in sick for a week. steve: stuff doesn't get done. stuff doesn't get built. donald trump made it clear. he doesn't think we build stuff in the united states anymore and in some measure, he's right. >> i think he's right in some measure, but i also think making america great, making america work, my message today in a nutshell is if you want to make america great again, you have to make work cool again; right? i mean, we're going to be talking about the

perkins bill, and we're going to be talking about boat tech in high schools. to your point, we're still getting our heads around it. $1.3trillion in student loans, the skills gap, obviously. crumbling infrastructure. these things, obviously i'm not an expert. but, to me, they're not problems. they're symptoms of this larger disconnect that i think a lot of people have with wor work. brian: and that's your message today to congress. and mike row works, inc., is your 501c3. >> yeah, we started mike works about three years ago. jobs that actually exist that nobody knows about, and we award can scholarships for the kids that want to take the time and essentially award the kind of behavior that we all want to encourage. steve: blue-collar, as you're wearing right now. >> the sleeves are up, and i have the patches because i'm

authentic. steve: is that how you're dressing for congress? >> this is it, man. can i borrow the flag pin? steve: absolutely. it will get you in the door. ainsley: mike, i know you've been wondering. what is it like to get a personal tour of the white house? well, we found out and guess who was our tour guide? that man right there. the president. steve: but first let's check in with the group overlooking the capitol. shannon and bill. >> hey, guys, great job at the white house. fantastic. how are you doing? >> it's a good morning. >> it's an ugly day. >> listen, this was so much nicer than the inauguration. all the political talkers that are involved in this speech tonight. jason is here, tray gowdy. >> going to talk about what they're going to do with obamacare. >> and apparently charlie herd have a few things on their mind. >> john williams, guy benson, it's just a parade of fantasticness.

but this is a very famous walk, as you know. steve: rose garden. trump: and if you notice the ramps. there are many ramps. that's fdr. they were put here if dr. but this is a very, very famous walk, and you'll oftentimes see the great foreign leaders walking this with the president, whoever he or she maybe some day she. brian: and do people tell you grab the german leader? trump: they tell you, basically, but then you know what to do. steve: you ever walk these steps in the colonnade and say to yourself these are the steps john f kennedy. these are the steps that ronald reagan. these are the steps that jimmy carter. they all walked this walk. trump: all the greats. you think 1800 is when it first, and then this was built somewhat later. but 1800 is when the white house really opened. even a little sooner than that. brian: have you intrigued and studied this now knowing what you know? trump: it is a fascinating building and the history of the oval office is incredible. steve: right behind us is the

the proof that it heals is you.

>> we're ending our show with some pictures of us behind the scenes at the white house.

>> we were told you are are staring blankly at us. >> i thank the president and white house staff due the morning show interview with "fox & friends." >> bill: good morning, everybody. 9:00 here in washington the sun rising on a big day in washington, d.c. president donald trump set to deliver his first address to a joint session of congress. promises a bold agenda for the american people. a speech that may set the tone for the coming months and maybe the coming years in our nation's capital. we'll debate whether we get much further than that. i'm live in washington for a special edition of america's newsroom. bill hemmer. >> shannon: welcome to my town. hopefully we've been very
