making it a reality is the hard part. from the b-2 to the upcoming b-21, northrop grumman stealth bombers give america an advantage in a turbulent world. and we're looking for a few dreamers to join us. >> jon: have a great weekend. "america's news hq" starts now. >> president trump is about to follow in the footsteps of ronald reagan, becoming the first sitting president to address the national rifle association in more than 30 years. hello. let's get right to it. jonathan serry is live in atlanta. what does this crowd want to hear from president trump? >> reporter: they certainly want to hear strong support for the second amendment. that's something trump talked about during his campaign. something they got the nra's early endorsement during his campaign. we're getting advanced word that the president's speech will

indeed talk about his commitment not only to the second amendment, but also to the u.s. constitution and all talking about the speedy confirmation of supreme court justice neil gorsuch. so we expect that speech to get under way momentarily, harris. >> harris: we're listening and watching to the left of our screen. lee greenwood leading in song. jonathan, before we move away from you i want to ask you just one question about the mood in the room. this is the thorax what's happening today. 30 years since we saw a sitting president. what is the mood? >> reporter: there is a lot of optimism that you have a gun rights friendly white house. they've already seen some changeses that were enacted within the first 100 days, rolling back some obama era policy. they're hoping for additional policies to stream line gun laws to remove some of the

bureaucracy. >> harris: jonathan serry live at the nra. for more on this, let's bring in charles perk, washington times opinion editor. great to see you. drudge report editor and fox news contributor david goodfried is here. good to have you both. >> good to be with you, harris. >> harris: let's start with the anticipation jonathan just talked about from this crowd that the president will lean in on his support for second amendment. charlie, we'll start with you. >> when you go back to the beginning of the campaign a year ago when the nra endorsed donald trump very very early in the process, you know, it was a huge deal. and i think in a lot of ways it changed the trajectory of the late primaries. it changed the trajectory of the campaign. but he has paid them back handsomely in terms of not only the selection of neil gorsuch to

the supreme court, which will pay dividends for literally decade, but also by the fact that he beat hillary clinton. and by beating hillary clinton he managed to beat a person who would arguably have been the biggest threat to the second amendment rights that the nra cares so much about as any president we've ever had. >> harris: all right, david, i'll let you weigh in on that. i also want to bring up the tommic, too, this being a historic moment and let you react to that as well. >> well, sure. first of all it's historic because it's the first time since 1983 that a president has addressed the nra convention. at the time it was ronald reagan. i see a parallel between president reagan and president trump. when president reagan had been governor of california in the '60s he was very much in favor of gun control. he said there were radical groups like the black panthers that he was afraid of being armed and dangerous and he felt

like gun control was necessary. by the time he got to the white house, he had reversed himself and became a strong proponent of gun rights. donald trump in 2000 said the republican party is too much captive to the nra. that was 2000. then during the campaign he did a complete 180 and said i'm all in favor of the nra. i think there's a parallel here. in both cases it was a political calculation. i think the interesting thing to me is donald trump has done a rashable job with his base, but has not expanded his popularity outside of his base. >> harris: charlie, i mentioned this topic. i have heard some of the left who say this is a 180, this is a flip, but i challenge that with the journey that the current president has made from supporting things that look like they might have been a good idea if gun control rights were not already, or gun control laws were not already so tight in areas like chicago and urban cities. president trump wanted to concentrate on their economy and understands that even though the

gun laws are tight there, the crime, the violent crime, is out of control in those areas. it's been his focus. so is that more of a journey to you? >> i think it is. he's a guy from new york city who grew up there. that's where he's used to being. i think one of the things that mattered to him was the fact that he is usually surrounded by armed guards. that's a great luxury that he has that other people living in new york city or chicago or wherever, they don't have that. the other thing that i think is important, and you touched on this, is what you just said. is the fact that donald trump is a fast learner. and he is always listening. the reason he won the republican nomination is because he's an acute listener and he listens to everybody. it's why he did so well to defeat 16, 18, however many republicans that there were in the primary and then go on to win the general election is because he listens. >> harris: all right. i want to turn everybody to the president of the united states, who's walking across the stage

right now. i want to thank the panel, charlie and david, thank you very much. we may come back after the president's remarks, but right now we're gonna concentrate on the stage. the last time we saw a sitting president, we've been talking about it this hour, to take the stage before the nra, a group that was all in for this president very early on. even ahead of some republicans in his own party establishment as we sometimes call them, the nra gave their early support. now since ronald reagan, the first sitting president to talk with this group. let's watch together. >> thank you, chris, for that kind introduction and for your tremendous work on behalf of our second amendment. thank you very much. i want to also thank wayne

lapierre for his unflinching leadership in the fight for freedom. wayne, thank you very much. great. i'd also like to congratulate karen handle on her incredible fight in georgia 6. [ applause ] the election takes place on june 20th. and by the way, on primaries, let's not have 11 republicans running for the same position again. it's too nerve shattering. she's totally for the nra and she's totally for the second amendment, so get out and vote. you know she's running against someone who's going to raise your taxes to the sky, destroy your healthcare and he's for open borders, lots of crime, and

he's not even able to vote in the district that he's running in. other than that, i think he's doing a fantastic job. right? so get out and vote for karen. also my friend, he's become a friend because there's nobody that does it like lee greenwood. wow. [ applause ] lee is the purpose description of the renewed spirit sweeping across our country. it really is indeed sweeping across our country. so, lee, i know i speak for everyone in this arena when i say we're all very proud indeed to be an american. thank you very much, lee. [ applause ] no one was more proud to be american than the beloved

patriot, you know who i'm talking about. we remember on gatherings like today your former five term president, the late charleton heston. he was out there fighting a long time. he was a great guy. it's truly wonderful to be back in atlanta and back with my friends at the nra. you are my friends, believe me. [ applause ] perhaps some of you remember the last time we were all together. remember that? we had a big crowd then, too, so we knew something was happening. but it was in the middle of a historic political year and in the middle of a truly historic

election. what fun that was. november 8th. wasn't that a great evening? you remember that evening. [ applause ] remember they were saying we have breaking news, donald trump has won the state of michigan. they go, michigan? how did that -- donald trump has won the state of wisconsin. whoa. but earlier in the evening, remember, florida, north carolina, south carolina, pennsylvania, all the way up, we ran up the east coast. and you know, the republicans have a tremendous disadvantage in the electoral college. you know that. tremendous disadvantage. and to run the whole east coast and then you go with iowa and ohio and all of the different states. it was a great evening. one that lot of people will never forget. lot of people. [ applause ]

not gonna forget that evening. and remember they said, there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they're trying to supress the vote. so they keep saying it so people say, i really like trump, he loves the second amendment, he loves the nra, i love him, but let's go to the movie because he can't win. they were trying to supress the vote. hundreds of times i heard there's no route, there is no route to 270. and we ended up with 306. so they were right. not 270. 306. [ applause ] that was some evening. big sports fans said that was the single most exciting vent they've ever seen. that includes super bowls and world series and boxing matches. that was an exciting evening for all of us and it meant a lot.

only one candidate in the general election came to speak to you, and that candidate is now the president of the united states standing before you again! [ applause ] i have a feeling that in the next election, you're gonna be swamped with candidates, but you're not gonna be wasting your time. you'll have plenty of those democrats coming over and you're gonna say, no thank you, sir, ma'am, it may be pocahontas. remember that. [ applause ] and she is not big for the nra. that i can tell you. but you came through for me and i am going to come through for you. [ applause ]i was proud to reces

earliest endorsement in the history of the organization. and today, i am also proud to be the first sitting president to address the nra leadership forum since our wonderful ronald reagan in 1983. and i want to thank each and every one of you. not only for your help electing true friends of the second amendment, but for everything you do to defend our flag and our freedom. with your activism, you helped safe guard the freedoms of our soldiers who have bled and died for us on the battlefields. and i know we have many veterans in the audience today and we want to give them a big, big, beautiful round of applause. [ applause ]

and like i promised, we are doing a really top job already. 99 days, but already with the veterans administration. people are saying a big difference. we are working really hard at the va and you're gonna see it and you're already seeing it. it's my honor. i have been telling you we're gonna do it and we're doing it. thank you. nra protects in our capitals and legislative houses the freedoms that our service members have won for us on those incredible

battlefields. and it's been a tough fight against those who would go so far as to ban private gun ownership entirely. but i am here to deliver you good news. and i can tell you that wayne and chris have been fighting with me long and hard to make sure that we were with you today. not somebody else with an empty podium. because believe me, the podium would have been empty. they were with us right from the beginning. [ applause ] the eight year assault on your second amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end.

[ applause ] you have a true friend and champion in the white house. no longer will federal agencies be coming after law abiding gun owners. [ applause ] no longer will the governments be trying to under mind your rights and your freedoms as americans. instead, we will work with you by your side. we will work with the nra to promote responsible gun ownership, to protect our wonderful hunters and their access to the very beautiful outdoors. you met my son. i can tell you both sons, they believe the outdoors. frankly, i think they love the outdoors more than they love, by a long shot, fifth avenue, but that's okay. and we want to ensure you of the

sacred right of self-defense for all of our citizens. [ applause ] when i spoke to this forum last year, our nation was still mourning the loss of a giant. a great defender of the constitution. justice anton scalia. [ applause ] i promised if elected i would nominate a justice who would be faithful and loyal to the constitution. i even went one step further and publicly presented a list of 20 judges from which i would make my selection. and that's exactly what we did. and by the way, i want to thank, really, heritage and i want to

thank also all of the people that worked with us. where's leo? is leo around here? he's got to be here. where is he? he has been so good. all from heritage, jim demint has been amazing. those people have been fantastic. they've been real friends. the federalist people. where are they? are they around here someplace? they really helped us out. i kept my promise. and now with your help, our brand new justice, and he is really something very special neil gorsuch sits on the bench of the united states supreme court. [ applause ] for the first time in the modern political era, we have confirmed a new justice in the first 100

days. [ applause ] the last time that happened was 186 years ago. the credit is in the audience. can credit is in the audience. all of those people. they won't give us credit, but it's been a long time. we've also stood up for america's sports man. on their very last day in office the previous administration issued an 11th hour rule to restrict the use of lead ammunition on certain federal lands. have you heard ab that, folks? i'm shocked to hear that. you've all heard about that. huh? you've heard about that. on his first day as secretary of

the interior, ryan zincke eliminated the previous administration's ammunition ban. [ applause ] he's gonna be great. ryan's going to be great. we have also moved very quickly to restore something gun owners care about very, very much. it's called the rule of law. we have made clear that our administration will always stand with the incredible men and women of law enforcement. [ applause ] in fact, countless members of law enforcement are also members of the nra because our police know that responsible gun ownership saves lives. and that the right of

self-defense is essential to public safety. do we all agree with that? [ applause ] our police and sheriffs also know that when you ban guns, only the criminals will be armed. [ applause ] [ applause ] for too long, washington has gone after law abiding gun owners while making life easier for criminals, drug dealers, traffickers and gang members. ms-13. you know ab ms-13. it's not pleasant for them any more, folks. it's not pleasant for them any more. that's a bad group. get them the hell outta here. right? get em out. we are protected the freedoms of law abiding americans. and we are going after the

criminal gangs and cartels that prey on our innocent citizens. and we are really going after them. [ applause ] as members of the nra know well, some of the most important decisions a president can make are appointments. and i have appointed people who believe in law, order and justice. [ applause ] that is why i have selected as your attorney general, number one, a really fine person. a really good man a man who has spent his entire career fighting time, supporting the police and defending the second amendment. for the first time in a long time you have a pro second

amendment attorney general. his name is jeff sessions. [ applause ] an attorney general sessions is putting our priorities into action opinion he's going after the drug dealers peddling their poison all over our streets and destroying our youth. he's going after the gang members who threaten our children. and he's fully enforcing our immigration laws in all 50 states. and do you know what? it's about time. [ applause ] heading up the etch for the to secure america's borders is a great military general. a man of action. homeland security director john kelly. [ applause ]

secretary kelly, who used to be general kelly, is following through on my pledge to protect the borders, remove criminal aliens and stop the drugs from pouring into our country. we've already seen, listen to this. it's never happened before. people can't even believe it. by the way, we will build the wall no matter how low this number gets or how high. don't even think about it! don't even think about it. [ applause ] they're trying to use this number against us. because we've done unbelievably at the borders already. they're trying to use it against us. but you need that wall to stop the human trafficking, to stop the drugs, to stop the wrong people. you need the wall. but listen to this. we've already seen a 73%

decrease. never happened before. in illegal immigration on the southern border since my election. 73%. [ applause ] >> you see what they're doing, right? why do you need a wall? we need a wall. >> build the wall! >> we'll build the wall. don't even think about it. don't even think about it. don't even think about it. that's an easy one. we're gonna build the wall. we need the wall. i said to general kelly, how important is it? he said, very important. it's that final element. we need the wall. it's a wall in certain areas. obviously where you have these massive physical structures you don't need and we have certain big rivers. but we need a wall. we're gonna get that wall. [ applause ] and the world is getting the

message. they know that our border is no longer open to illegal immigration. and that if they try to break in, you will be caught and you will be returned to your home. you're not staying any longer. and if you keep coming back illegally after deportation, you will be arrested, prosecuted and you will be put behind bars. otherwise it will never end. [ applause ] immigration security is national security. we've seen the attacks from 9-11 to boston to san bernardino. hundreds of individuals from other countries have been charged with terrorism related offenses in the united states.

we spend billions and billions of dollars on security all over the world, but then we allow radical islamic terrorists to enter right through our front door. that's not going to happen any more. [ applause ] [ applause ] it's time we finally got start. it's also time to put america first. [ applause ] >> usa! and perhaps i see all of those beautiful red and white hats. but we will never forget our favorite slogan of them all. make america great again!

keeping our community safe and protecting our freedoms also rekwaoeurgs the cooperation of our state leaders. we have some incredible pro second amendment governors here at the nra conference including governor scott of florida. where is governor scott? where is he? great guy. doing a great job. governor bryant of mississippi. what a wonderful place. governor bryant is here. governor deal of georgia. [ applause ] we're all joined by two people that, one i loved from the beginning, the other i really liked, didn't like, and now like again.

does that make sense? senator david purdue. he was from the beginning and senator ted cruz. like, dislike, like. [ applause ] where are they? good guys. good guys. smart cookie. each of these leaders knows that public officials must serve under the constitution not above it. we all took an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the united states. and that means defending the second amendment. [ applause ] so let me make a simple promise to everyone of the freedom loving americans in the audience today. as your president, i will never ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear

arms. never ever. freedom is not a gift from government. freedom is a gift from god. [ applause ] it was this conviction that stirred the heart of a great american patriot. on that day, april 242 years ago. it was the day paul reveer spread his alarm the famous warning that the british are coming, the british are coming. right? you've all heard that, right? the british are coming. now we have other people trying to come. believe me, they're not going to be successful. nothing changes right, folks? they are not going to be

successful. be serious hurt on them, not on us. next came the shot heard around the world, then a rag tag of god fearing farmers, frontiersman, shop keepers, merchants that stood up to the most powerful army at that time on earth. most powerful army on earth. we sometimes forget what inspired those every day farmers and workers in that great war for independence. many years after the war, young men asked captain levi preston, age 91, why he fought alongside his neighbors at con cord. was it the stamp back? was it a work of philosophy? no, the old veteran replied. then why, he was asked? young man, the captain said,

what we meant in going for those red coats was this. we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to govern ourselves. [ applause ] captain preston's words are a reminder of what this organization and my administration are all about. the right of a sovereign people to govern their own affairs and govern them properly. [ applause ] we no longer want to be ruled by the pwaour crafts in washington or in any other country for that matter. in america, we are ruled by our citizens. we are ruled by each and every

one of you. but we can't be complacent. these are dain rouse times. these are horrible times for certain obvious reasons. but we're going to make them great times again. every day we're up against those who would take away our freedom, restrict our liberties and even those who want to abolish the second amendment. we must be vigilant. you are all up to the task. since the first generation of americans stood strong and conquered, each generation to follow has answered the call to defend freedom in their time. that is why we are here today. to defend freedom for our children. to defend the liberty of all americans. and to defend the right of a free and sovereign people to keep and bear arms.

i greatly appreciated your support on november 8th. in what will hopefully be one of the most important and positive elections for the united states of all time. and to the nra, i can proudly say i will never ever let you down. thank you, god bless you, god bless our constitution and god bless america. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> harris: well, there you go, history being made. the president wrapping up his speech to the nra talking about a whole host of top eubgs. he actually started with the republican candidate to fill the seat of tom price, who now, of course, is the health and human services secretary, who vacated his congressional seat to become that for president trump. and he is backing karen handle, a republican there.

and he lauded her successes. he talked about the fact that she is pro second amendment, she is pro nra. that is where he started. he then dipped into some familiar things, thanking people in that room for their early all in buy in for his presidency. he thanked them for their support. he thanked them for his continued support. he kind of wrapped up with something similar here. he said, i will never infringe upon the right of people to bear arms. that got a huge response. let's bring in ari fleisher who served for president george w. bush. ari, always a pleasure to have you, especially on this 99th day of this presidency. your thoughts from that kind of felt like a stump speech, but definitely a huge point of gratitude from this president. >> it's a check the box

political speech. a plug for karen handle. what was missing was something i would have recommended. two policy plugs for donald trump. where's the policy here asking nra audience saying i really need your help, i need your help, we need tax reform. call your congressman. those policy elements often are missing from donald trump speeches which are entertaining speeches but they're about himself and they're a lot about political story telling. >> harris: that's really interesting. in terms of policy though, he did include a couple of points that he considers victories by his members of the administration. so not maybe necessarily himself. he talked about ryan zincke who is the secretary of the interior. all those places that represent the u.s. wild life and fishery. he talked about that. also said you now are living at

a time where you'll see the first attorney general in a very long time who is second pro amendment. >> he talked about the things that are important to them. he should do that. he's got a group that loves him. in politics when you have a group that loves you, ask them to do something for you. where he needs help, on some of those nonnra policy initiatives. >> harris: he may get some criticism for visiting those familiar themes, as i mentioned before, of how he won and the flavor of things that used to be and how they're different now, but basically looking back. but that is what his base maybe still appreciates. i don't know. he's doing well in some polling of people who would vote for him again. >> i don't begrudge anybody from doing reminiscing with the people that helped make the election possible. barack obama would do it. it's a nice touch. it's a human touch.

he wanted to express gratitude and talk the language of the people who helped you win. that's meaningful. i wouldn't have done to it the exclusion of those other issues. that's the point i'm making. >> harris: one big.he made off the top. i want to quote him. a big big beautiful round of applause for all of the veterans in the room and beyond. that is huge to him. continues to be and obviously a big part of why he is where he is. also important to the nra audience. >> that's right. one of the things politicians and donald trump is becoming one is who do they touch? he touched veterans. he touched the nra, of course. he also touched the police. went to thank them. when you hear the president of the united states talk about you, talk about the issues you care arbgt it really enriches your support for that president, that politician. that's why he does it. he's right to do it. >> harris: it's interesting to hear you say he's a politician. i don't think he'd call himself

that as he goes on his 100th day tomorrow, back to the people. a rally in harrisburg, pennsylvania. i think he'd argue with you on that point. but if he is going a bit in that direction, where is he doing well, ari? >> he is an unconventional politician. as soon as you run for office, you become a politician. that's a source of strength and paofrt his weakness. where i think he's done really well is in four areas. one, the economy is coming back stronger since his election. consumer confidence is up. markets are up. manufacturing index is up. today's gdp report is a flashing red light though. there has to be more work done. two, the drop in illegal immigration at the border. huge success. that's attributable to him. three is foreign policy. america is leading in the world again. four, the position of neil gorsuch on the supreme court. all four are 99 day accomplishments. >> harris: let's start with the economy.

that was something that we saw this week with only 19% of people. that's the lowest in more than a decade. saying that they saw the economy as poor. that's brand new fox news polling. the big chunk of people fair all the way to excellent. that is a huge.for this president to at least talk about if not really check that list as you say on a score card and put that out for messaging this weekend. >> what's happened since the election, when two thirds of america thought the country was on the wrong track, donald trump has turned much of that around. people have confidence they didn't have before. but what's missing now is legislation. he has to make sure we don't have a 1%, 2%, growing economy. that is a warning sign to donald trump and republicans everywhere. if it persists what was the advantage of electing don'ted a trump? congress has got to get that

message seriously. they better start passing legislation, otherwise, what good is it? >> harris: it's a big question whether this president can motivate them. they had enjoyed the lowest popularity rating below the media congress. real quickly, you mentioned the drop in illegal immigration on our border. he mentioned it today, too. he mentioned the number, 73%. he touted that time and time again in the speech. something he considers to be the hall mark of his presidency. i would imagine based on the words that he used today. real quick, last thought. >> there's really common sense to this. if you want to come to america and you threu think it's a game of tag, more people will come. if you fear you'll get caught, you'll get thrown out or go into prison, you don't come. it's that simple. that's what donald trump did. he changed the mentality of those who would break our laws to come here. we need people here. we want people here. they should come in accordance with the law. they'll find no more welcoming

country than america. >> harris: all right. day 99, making some news. ari fleisher along for the ride. thank you very much. always good to see you. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: well, president trump is warning major conflict could be coming with north korea. what else he's saying about that nation's dictator kim jong-un. stay close.

>> harris: from policies to a challenging situation abroad in north korea, the president knows a lot about kim jong-un, telling roeuters he's 27, his father died, took over a regime. say what you want but that is not easy especially at that age. i'm not giving him credit or not giving him credit. i'm just saying that's a very hard thing to do. and to whether or not he's rational, i have no opinion on it. i hope he's rational. secretary of state rex tillerson also gave some thought to kim's psychological stability. watch. >> all indications are that he is not crazy.

he may be ruthless. he may be a murderer. he may be someone who in many sprebgts we would say by our standard is irrational but he is not insane. >> reporter: mike prejint is a former intelligence officer. great to have you today and get your perspective on this. let's start with the crazy. you've always heard this about this dictator. you back away from that language i would think because you don't want to give somebody an automatic out if you think you're going to have to fight them. that's kind of the underlying thing that i see. what's your take? >> well, thanks for having me, harris. yeah, you don't want him to believe that you're going to do something because he may, in fact, be crazy. it's a good out reach to kim jong-un to say, listen, i know it was tough being 27 years old and becoming a dictator with all the knives out. let's talk. let's talk about your nuclear

program. it's interesting that in 2016, kim jong-un increased his nuclear test and also missile launches in hopes of getting an iran deal like benefit. meaning you could keep your nuclear program and you'd get a wind fall of cash. the obama administration ignored him. i think he miscalculated with the trump administration because they are looking at an imminent threat. i think it's a good message to him. >> harris: do you know what's interesting? it's completely opposite of some of the tough talk you heard from our u.n. ambassador, nikki haley, at the united nations. then the tougher talk from the secretary of state rex tillerson who basically said not only is the military on the table, but have you seen what we did over there? have you seen what we went through? we got a step coming your way. >> right. when you assess what would have happened if we would have taken out iran's nuclear facilities. if you look at what hezbollah would have done to israel. in the case of north korea, if we take out their nuclear facilities. we look at north korean

artillery decimating the military zone. they're two different calculations. this is a positive message to the north korean dictator that, hey, we don't think you're crazy, but don't do anything crazy. >> harris: i wonder about this. in the eight years under president obama, we heard words whenever north korea would do something, ah, they're saber rattling. i have yet to see an actual saber in someone's hand, so i don't know how much rattling people do. that's not what this president is saying. the language has shifted. how significant is it? >> it's significant because if you look at the repositioning u.s. naval forces in the area, what japan's doing, what south korea is doing with their training missions, then what we're seeing from north korea, this is brinkmanship. this is what brinkmanship looks like. it's time to lessen the rhetoric and start seeing if there's a solution. china's probably influencing trump as much as trump is influencing china on how to deal with north korea. so i wouldn't be surprised if

this is china telling the trump administration, hey, let's stop calling him crazy and try to look at what a crazy man would do with a nuclear arsenal. >> harris: lot is made about the first 100 days of a presidency. lot of main stream media and sometimes all of us catching ourselves talking about that. but this actually is impressive, to have gotten to this point on the 99th day, where you is such a huge shift in the coming out of the biggest house in the land, the people's house. it really is. >> yeah. it's sending messages to everyone. pyongyang, moscow, beijing, tehran, demascus, baghdad. all the places you want the message to go, that the united states is different now. thaoe first 100 days have not been like the last eight years tpp you're gonna be held accountable for your actions. >> harris: any risks? what are they? >> reufbs are, what does a crazy dictator do if he believes there's an imminent u.s. strike?
