>> i got an angry e-mail from a viewer. neil, you said you would have leonardo dicaprio on your show. i did not, he's attending so there. leland: test firing a missile despite a warning from secretary rex tillerson that it could face catastrophic consequences. and for the fourth time in a row, the missile launch failed. the reaction from the white house. elizabeth: plus, president trump's 100th day in office. and a demonstration. and reviewing all of our nation's trade agreement. leland: just two days ago, president trump signed another executive order to protect whistle blowers at failing va

hospitals where too many of our nation's warriors have not gotten the care they deserve. >> waiting on lines for seven days, eight days, nine days, two weeks. some instances were horrible. they were waiting so long, they had a very curable problem and they died before they got to see the doctor. it's not going to happen any long longer. leland: joining us live, senator jerry moran from the veterans affairs committee. ♪ from the banks of the susquahanna river, welcome to america's news headquarters, i'm leland vittert from harrisburg, pennsylvania. where he's celebrating his 100

days in office. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth prann on the ground of the capitol in washington where congress extended the deadline to fund the government for one more week. will the major sticking points be preventing a deal? we'll debate coming up. well, it's been 100 days, believe it or not, the trump administration has hit its first major milestone. and the president is marking the day with a rally. kristin fisher is live at the white house with the latest. >> hey, liz, even though president trump has downplayed the significance of the first 100 days, he called it an arbitrary milestone, this white house has gone to great lengths to mark the moment culminating with that big rally tonight where leland is in harrisburg, pennsylvania. now, while he's there. he's expected to sign two more executive orders, one will direct his commerce department to perform a comprehensive study of the nation's trade agreements. the other will then give them a deadline to then identify any violations or abuses and recommend solutions. so, president trump really is talking tough on one of the

issues that got him not white house and one of the states that proved pivotal to his victory, pennsylvania. at the same time president trump also dealing with another north korean missile test, the third this month. the strategy going forward is another round of sanctions next week and continuing to put pressure on china. and that north korea disrespected the wishes of china and its highly respected president launching a missile today, bad. china is urging all countries to remain calm and exercise restraint. the show of force by the u.s. military is already underway. the formidable carl vincent carrier strike group off the korean peninsula, a few hours after the failed missile test and hours after rex tillerson issued this stern warning. >> for too long the international community has

been reactive in addressing north korea. those days must come to an end. failing to act now on the most pressing security issue in the world may bring catastrophic consequences. >> and you know, one of the main accomplishments that president trump has cited during his first 100 days has been the relationships that he's been able to develop with world leaders like the chinese president, xi jinping. we'll see if this relationship is actually able to turn into hard action on the korean peninsula, liz. elizabeth: kristin fisher live from the white house. thank you so much. while north korea flexes its military muscles, the state-run media is issues a response to south korea moving ships to the north, calling the move, quote, an intrusion.

well, new drills, joint drills with the south korean navy and u.s. ships in the region do start today. and south korea says they're aimed at quote, deterring north korea's provocation. leland: a little bit more on that coming up. meantime, president trump tells fox news that he's disappointed overall with congress's progress on his major agenda items, including repealing and replacing obamacare and funding the border wall and tax reform, something he talked about this week. garrett is with us for a closer look at the to-do list, if you will, that the president now has given congress. hi, garrett. >> hey, leland, it turns out working with congress is

different than the board room and in his first 100 days in offer the president says it's tougher and a lot slower process than he was expecting. an example of that is the stop-gap spending bill that the president signed last night to prevent a government shutdown set to take place at midnight. congress now has another week to try and negotiate a more long-term budget deal, which won't include funding for the president's border wall. and with that, both sides are saying, they are very close to reaching a deal. >> i do believe that the committee is very close. it is the intention of the committee to be-- to get to an agreement. i have hoped to get an agreement as early as today. knowing that we do want to provide to the members the three days so they can read through the entire bill and that we can vote on this before the end of the short-term cr. >> the republican leadership it working to build support for a replace and repeal package for obamacare and appear to be

making progress there. they will likely need the support of all republicans as democrats are continuing to promise a fight. >> well, simply saying, how much more times do they have to fail before they realize our path is the right path, the best path and probably the only path. we, of course, want to work with our republican colleagues, we don't think that aca is perfect. we're willing to make changes. they first have to two things, get off repeal and stop undermining the aca, hurt being people so they can achieve a political point. >> despite the slow pace and lack of major pieces of legislation, the white house is touting that the president has already signed 28 bills, more than any other president in his first 100 days going back to harry truman. even if no single bill passed, the they said the confirmation of neil gorsuch's supreme court, is the greatest accomplishment and one that has an impact for years to come. leland: i'm sure the president will be talking about all of

that tonight in harrisburg. garrett tenney manning the desk back home. thanks, garrett. liz has more. elizabeth: joining me now to talk about the next steps for congress. south carolina congressman tom rice who sits on the ways and means committee. thank you so much for joining us on this beautiful saturday. >> my pleasure, elizabeth, happy to be here. elizabeth: so a big week ahead. i assume you have a lot of constituents who are eager to know how are you going to come to a compromise with the latest cr? should they have faced that negotiations can take place in a matter of a week and will get done? >> they can take place. i wish we'd done it sooner myself and could have handled it in a more organized fashion, but you know, the honest truth is, the president wants to get the votes done right, but the hard fact it in the senate he'll have to have eight democrats to bring the spending bill across the finish line. that's 60 votes in the senate and they'll negotiate as well as they can for their priorities and the president

will negotiate for his priorities and get the best bill we can and move down the road. elizabeth: that means there are a couple of sticking points they're going to have to be off the table. tell me what is still up for negotiation as we head into this next week. the border wall is off the table. >> yeah, i think the border wall is off the table. the democrats have some energy initiatives, the republicans have some energy initiatives, issues with obamacare are all still-- e obamacare off the table? >> i understand they're off the table and that would be a killer for me, i can tell you that. elizabeth: i want to switch over to tax reform because it may not be immediate, but it's certainly something important to the president because we saw his plan. obviously, were you a tax lawyer, a c.p.a. for two decades if i'm not mistaken. i'm curious, what do law makers have in store? the american people are looking at their pocket books. >> the house republicans issued their tax reform frame work last july.

the ways and means committee have been working since then to fill the meat on the bones. elizabeth: that's where you set. >> we're well ahead of the president in terms of filling in the details. if you look at the president's frame work versus ours, we're largely in agreement. there are some things left open. if we're not moving unified moving forward we have no chance. the president knows that. elizabeth: what is open? >> the border tax is one issue that's left open in my opinion. it's critical for american companies to be competitive in the world. 140 other countries around the world already have border adjustment taxes and the president knows that. elizabeth: are you going to get bipartisan support on that? >> i think we'll get some by partisan support. we're trying tore reconciliation, only requires 51 votes in the senate and we hope we can pass it with possibly votes, but i'm sure we can get bipartisan support as well. elizabeth: and communications with lawmakers such as yourself who has the background ahead of the president's plan, meaning, do they have, obviously, have

they done their homework and they need to get, really, your input because it needs to get approved by you. >> they have done their homework and continue to do so. i don't think they've filled in as much meat on the bones as we have. what representatives from the white house have met with us repeatedly and continue to do so. the ways and means committee is actually having a retreat this weekend and starting tomorrow for two days to fill in more meat on the bones and representatives from the white house will be there. donald trump recognizes that if we can just get this one thing done. his overriding goal is to increase our economic prosperity and he recognizes that our uncompetitive tax code is the main thing holding us back. if we can get one i think this done, our growth will grow from 2% to our 3% average with just one thing. if we can increase gdp growth, a lot of problems get solved. deficit problems get a lot easier. unemployment problems get a lot easier. crime problems get a lot easier.

drug problems get a lot easier. economic growth is my number one goal in the congress and i know it's donald trump's number one goal in the white house. elizabeth: you have folks at home who are looking at a hefty list of items that the president wanted to get done, all of them involving you, members of congress. they're looking at health care and they're looking at keeping the government open. is there too much on your plate right now? >> i think that they underestimated the difficulty of health care. that's really the only thing that hasn't happened in the timetable they wanted it to happen in and it's ongoing. it's going to be resolved here pretty quickly. elizabeth: well, we like your confidence, congressman. thank you for giving us a mind the scenes looks and joining us on a saturday. >> thank you, elizabeth. elizabeth: thank you, sir. leland. leland: great interview, liz. a big part of the president's promise kept talking points, it will be talking about tonight for sure include his work on veteran issues. senator jerry moran serves on the veterans affairs committee

and has been involved in veterans issues for many, many years. joining us from the great city of manhattan, kansas. good to see you, sir. >> hey, good to be with you, thank you. thanks for highlighting veterans and the efforts to make things better in their lives and keeping our commitments to those who served our nation. leland: yeah, they're as important as your work on this. first, i want your thoughts on north korea. we know, you were at the white house briefing and the president asked perform congressmen to whom on a bus and go over to the white house for a briefing. it can't be that the latest missile test was really that big of a surprise? >> well, i don't think a missile test involving north korea is a surprise any more and i suppose the discouraging things about this, all the world's attention is focused on north korea, on this topic, and yet, they continue, they continue at every opportunity

to test more missiles and to demonstrate their capabilities. fortunately, they've been unable to demonstrate those capabilities, but they continue, which suggests our-- the necessity of working even harder to get a policy that constrains their behavior, but demonstrates how difficult that's going to be. they're not easier persuaded. leland: yeah, well, we did hear from secretary of state tillerson, some other things he wants done. tougher sanctions, perhaps, going after financial institutions to deal with north korea regime. the bigger question though, and that is, oftentimes what doesn't happen is as important as what does. i wonder if you got from the white house, a sense of the red line and if that's why we haven't seen another north korean nuclear test? >> well, i think that the red line, although this hasn't been stated explicitly to me and wasn't stated certainly in that briefing and again, it was a classified briefing, but i've also had-- i serve on the defense appropriations committee that

funds intelligence agencies. we've had additional classified briefings. so, that conversation is a bit off the table. it's clearly off the table, but i would tell you that, what we're-- that the line here is to try to do everything we can to make sure that north korea doesn't have the capability of causing chaos and death in south korea and japan and in the region, but importantly, trying to make certain that no missile can reach of the shores of the united states and cause death and damage to american citizens and cities and our citizens. leland: well, we've certainly heard some warning bells from the folks at the pentagon when it comes to that. moving on now to the issue near and dear to your heart, veterans affairs. we've heard a lot of promises from president trump during the campaign as relates to veterans. we just saw these two executive orders signed this week. is it enough? or do we still have a lot of work to do and we could look at this as maybe a down payment of sorts?

>> 0 oh, it's only a down payment. there's so much more to be done and so much has to do with the people in charge of veterans affairs. i chair the appropriations committee that funds the department of veterans affairs and i've always indicated that if you can demonstrate to me the problem is lack of money, i'm going to be a supporter for providing the taxpayer dollars to support those who supported us, who served our nation. but the problems at the va, over a long period of time, are really related to a culture, to leadership, to a lack of responsibility, to accountability. and we need significant change at the department of veterans affairs on behalf of those who served our country. it's pleasing to me to see the focus of what the president is putting on the campaign. he's pursuing-- >> quickly, senator, i want to button this up. i want to button this up, only about 45 seconds left. as you noted there's sort of

systemic issues at the va, the question is, has there been enough changes put in at the top to change those? for so long, it's been so hard to fire people to get rid of the dead weight and for that matter the people who have caused these problems in the beginning. has that been fixed that now really, the secretary there can clean house or his hands are still tied no matter how good his intentions? >> his hands are still tied and there has not been enough done. an easy question to answer. we have a long way to go in that regard and we are-- the senate is expected approve further legislation that gives the secretary greater ability to discharge those who do harm to veterans. who don't do their jobs well, and mostly, in my view, we're talking about people at the upper echelon, the 400 senior executives need to create a different culture there so that firing an employee is not necessary. we also got to protect those employees who report bad behavior.

we don't want them to be the scapegoat. here in kansas, we've been working hard to make certain that somebody who commits crimes, who would be charged with a felony against a veteran doesn't receive his pension benefits. that's a va issue that needs to be addressed and we need to do a lot more to make certain that the va changes. part of that is getting veterans to access care across the country through the choice act and giving other options and part of it is a greater option to allow the secretary to lead the department. leland: well, as you point out, senator, there is so much work on this to do. appreciate your time. we'll look forward to having you back to chat about it some time as this continues and the legislation comes down. fox news, of course, is your place for the latest on the trump administration and its agenda moving forward. won't want to miss this, 11 a.m. eastern tomorrow. howard kirtz sits down with white house press secretary sean spicer to talk about how

the media covered the white house over the first 100 days and boy, has there been a lot of coverage. catch fox news sunday tomorrow as well, chris wallace sitting down with senator minority leader chuck schumer to talk about the health care plan and he's been vocal and taxes and tax reform in that interview as well. check your local listings for time and channel. elizabeth: you don't want to miss those interviews. tomorrow, on america's news headquarters, my exclusive sit-down interview with new jersey governor chris christie, who was specially appointed boo i president trump to head a tax force to fight opioid addiction and the governor grades president trump in his first 100 days in office. >> right this moment, i think the president is doing pretty well. and that's why i gave him a b. i think the president himself wouldn't think he deserved a "a". >> what could he be doing better? >> theres' so much thing about being disciplined and i think the staff has to do that, has

to give discipline to the process of getting laws made and laws changed. and that's hard. but the staff has to do that for him. the president can't do that on his own. elizabeth: you can catch my full interview with new jersey governor chris christie tomorrow at 1 p.m. here on fox news channel. leland: we will look forward to that. and when america's news headquarters returns from harrisburg, it's a city the president called the war zone before the election. he'll come back here in a few hours. we're going to talk to the mayor ahead of president trump's visit. meanwhile, 120 miles per hour south of pennsylvania's capital, climate change activists are about to start marching in the nation's capital. look at the white house there. and joining us a little later. plus, we'll break down much more on president trump's first 100 days in office. #. >> to all americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to

>> president trump arrived

here in harrisburg, pennsylvania, a little later today to rally his supporters on his 100th day in office. he credits pennsylvania for sending him over the edge and sending him to the white house. harrisburg mayor joins us to talk about the president's visit and issues facing his town. mr. mayor, nice to see you. >> nice to see you, welcome to harrisburg. leland: it's great to be here, a beautiful city you've got and the weather cooperated for us today. it's interesting, the president's coming back here to say thank you to a city that was not-- he did not carry, not his majority county for him, but also a city he called a war zone, something that you, i guess, take issue with. >> yeah, harrisburg is most decidedly not a war zone. you've already called it a beautiful city. leland: it is. >> look where we are standing, on an island in the middle of the river, we've got a minor league baseball team, and carriage rides. leland: and fair to say there

are a lot of voters to pennsylvania, clearly a majority of them who said, look, what the democrats are selling isn't working. have you changed the way you're governing at all since the election to sort of refocus, if you will, to those concerns? >> i would say actually, what the story of harrisburg is the story of what is working in america. we are-- we have record lows for unemployment, in this metropolitan region. we're under the national average. jobs are booming in the city alone, we have a tech boom. leland: so. >> we have housing. leland: if things are so great, why does the president keep selling out rallies when he comes to your city? >> that's a good question and i think it's because he's having a partisan rally and he's here to speak to his base, rather than taking an opportunity to speak to those who feel disaffected and not a part of his vision for the first 100 days. leland: i know you're going to hold a counter rally, if you will, that will take place not far from where the president is

speaking tonights and got me wondering, what does he done in the past 100 days that you take issue with either as a mayor or a small business owner? >> i think his leadership has helped drive this country further apart. i think part of who we're speaking to tonight at 5:00 across from the farm show, are people who feel disillusioned and not included. i'm going to ask for the president to work for a more inclusive america. leland: let's talk policy for a second. do you have a problem with the tax reform package he put forth. you're a small business owner, it does great things for small business. >> i am a small business owner and i own the midtown scholar bookstore here in harrisburg and important to note that today is independent book sellers day throughout the country. and i brought a book. i brought a book to recommend to president trump and to all of your viewers "ink blot", it's about rorschach. how two people can see the same thing and reach two entirely different conclusions.

i think that's the problem with our american politics today. we have people who speak to each other and reinforce their views, but we're not coming together to build consensus and i hope that the president will learn from the mistake of calling harrisburg a war zone. and recognize in reality there are many good people and workers here that want to be a part of his america. leland: and certainly, a lot of workers that support him here as well. mr. mayor, we appreciate your time. thanks so much. thanks for coming and visiting our beautiful city. leland: it is that for sure. liz. elizabeth: great interview. 100 days and many more ahead. we're going to look back at president trump's first 100 days in office and what's ahead for him and the country and while it's a very warm day here in the nation's capital, thousands are gathering to make their voices heard. we'll tell you coming up.

>> president trump laid out big promises for his first 100 days in office and the president feels he's got a good start to his first term in office. and critics feel he fell short of what he said he would do. here is a look at gains and setbacks from trump's first 100 days in office. and with the hill newspaper, thank you for joining us. >> absolutely. elizabeth: i'm interested because i've heard your viewpoint so far. we've talked a lot of his big accomplishment, obviously the selection and aappointment of neil gorsuch, but there's also a slew of her things he's done in the first 100 days and i think he perhaps should get more credit than he's been getting. >> that's right, speaker paul ryan said after trump was elected, it's going to be the first 200 days of trump's presidency that really matter. keep in mind, those cra's that congress passed that basically unto go regulations that president obama implemented in the last few days of his presidency, you remember the weeks leading up to the end of

his presidency, president obama was issuing regulations. congress has a set time period they can accomplish that, i think it's 60 legislative days or 60 days. before moving on to a tax reform plan, before even doing a health care bill, congress had to knock those things out. so, that's basically sets the clock back, in addition to which, if you're talking health care reform, tax reform, these are big items and really, the better marker, as paul ryan has said, is those first 200 days because if president obama does not get tax reform within the first 200 days, that will be not good for his presidency. elizabeth: so there are still critics who feel he should have done more. we've seen that, obviously and talked about the recent interview, the job is harder than he thought perhaps it would be. at the same time have we seen a modern president reach out to the freedom caucus, yes, health care did it fail, it's failed obviously, so far, but it's something he's not giving up on. just because it failed and

there wasn't a resolution this week doesn't mean we're not going to see it. >> exactly. you want to know something, the freedom caucus members i've talked to, conservatives who used to be in the republican study committee, a lot of their positions when it came time for legislation moving through the house and senate, they weren't heard by leaders. the speaker would not meet with the freedom caucus, ne were sort of considered on the fringe, the margins, now a lot of the freedom caucus members, mark meadows, david bratt, they're saying oh, my gosh, for the first time we're in the room. we should have been in the room to begin with and i think that going forward, tax reform, this is a lesson that donald trump has learned for better or for worse, whatever, get them in the room sooner rather than later. and that's why they're happy. elizabeth: on the other side of the aisle in the room? the freedom caucus, don't get me wrong, that's an accomplishment bringing the factions of the g.o.p. together. but the democrats were miss biggest critics. >> exactly. elizabeth: they still are. >> they're definitely his biggest critics, keep in mind over that recess when president

trump launched those tomahawk missiles in syria, following the chemical attacks, chemical weapons attacks. democrats were some of the first people that came out in support of that. they were know the very happy when president obama did not, you know, act after syrian president assad crossed that red line. so we're kind of seeing democrats coming around a little bit. and you know, it's not health care. when we talk about tax reform and these other issues, infrastructure in particular, it's not repealing obamacare. it's something different. and they do want accomplishments for the people in their district. and you know, in order to have a platform to run on in the future, they do need to get some bipartisanship going and i think that democrats are more open to it. i spoke with a blue dog democrat, henry kular who has been in talk with mike pence's office, mark short, legislative director and they're working on it, they're working on it, but

it's a slower process, i think. elizabeth: we talk about how a president is doing. and we usually never talk about how a president is doing until his legacy. and the first 100 days marked by fdr. >> if you're running on getting something done in the first 100 days, you have to do it. he did, he happened to appoint a supreme court nominee. if you go back to the voters in the district, that's what they wanted. that's really what they wanted. so, you know, for him, it's a win. it's not insignificant. elizabeth: molly cooper, thank you very much. very interesting, appreciate it, deland. leland: well, as you all just pointed out, the president calls the 100 day mark arbitrary. his predecessor said it's a hallmark holiday. going back to fdr and the great depression, it's been used as a measuring stick for administrations. with more on that, chief white house correspondent, john roberts.

>> i donald john trump do solemnly swear. >> he signed three executive orders, withdraw from the trans-pacific trade deal. trading and mexico city, and ngo's that provide abortion. and authorized building a border wall and the military, and ill-fated order on the immigration ban which was immediately challenged in the courts. >> they will do anything they can to keep the broken system in place. >> compared to his recent predecessors, president trump has been particularly prodigious with executive orders. he's signed 25. 19 nor president obama. 11 for george w. bush and 12 for clinton and signed 28 hours compared to 14 for obama, 7 for

bush and clinton's 22. >> no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days. >>, but unlike his recent predecessors, the president so far has no legislative accomplishments to point to. allen lickman was virtually alone in his early prediction that donald trump would win the presidency. >> i think it's been a pretty troubled first 100 days, not because he hasn't done anything, he has done a lot. this has not been a do-nothing presidency, but done almost all of it through executive order. >> in his first 100 days, president obama completed a massive stimulus package and signed a lili ledbetter pay act. and president bush had a signature tax cut and introduced no child left behind act. bill clinton made good on a campaign promise signing the family and medical leave act. so far president trump's appeal and replace obamacare has gone nowhere, blocked, not by the

democrats, but by member of his en0 party. >> the hall mark of the presidency is always to get permanent legislation through congress. you really want to put your mark on the statute books of the country. >> but it often takes far longer than 100 days to put legislative points up on the board. ronald reagan's first 100 was more scene setter in what would come in the months to follow including his signature tax cut in 1981. >> this represents 750 billion dollars in tax cuts. >> candidates often backtrack from campaign statements as they roll out their presidency. but president trump's reversal have been notable in their degree and number. among them in the campaign he loudly proclaimed china to be a currency manipulator. now says they're not. he dismissed n.a.t.o. as obsolete, but on day 83, told the n.a.t.o. secretary-general, it's not obsolete. he criticized the export-import bank as unnecessary, but now says it's a good thing.

and after urging president obama in 2013 not to attack syria, on day 77, president trump ordered a cruise missile strike against bashar al-assad. amid the flip-flops and setbacks, president trump did rack up one major success. on day 12 he nominated judge neil gorsuch to the supreme court and though democrats blocked the nominee, forcing the senate majority leader to invoke the nuclear option to confirm him, gorsuch was sworn in on day 81. >> script-- justice gorsuch, i congratulate you and your family. and he was pilloried for his immigration wan, and claims that he was wire topped by president obama. he put on the security council only to take him off. 100 days at war with the media accusing them of fake news.

>> i'm changing it from fake news though, very fake news. >> got to tear up the history books when it comes to donald trump. probably no president in history has been as, sort of inclined to create controversy as donald trump has been through his tweets, through his statements, through his attacks on his predecessor, barack obama. >> like many of his predecessors, president trump faced foreign policy crisis in his first 100 days. president kennedy presided over bay of pigs. president george w. bush with china's seizure of a spy plane. president obama the rescue of captain richard phillips from somali pirates. and president trump was criticized for having no foreign policy experience. but his handling hf north korea

may have a reaganesque point. >> and the world has a way of grasping attention. the way he's seen to act decisively with respect to international challenges, that will put wind in his sails and earn respect from american people and even from some democrats. leland: our thanks to john roberts. despite calling the 100 day marker quote, ridiculous. president trump packed a lot into this final week leading up to it. in the days since that piece was aired, the president signed five more executive orders, and last night, signed the stop gap legislation keeping the government up and running for what will be one more week. more from the president on all of those things for sure when he comes here to harrisburg and when we return from harrisburg, pennsylvania, we're going to ask some of president trump's most fervent supporters, what they think of his first 100 days. only invisalign® clear aligners are made with smarttrack® material

>> smalltown conservative talk radio proved a cornerstone, really, of president trump's campaign and remained an integral part of his supporters lives. with us now in harrisburg, morning radio host rj harris, 580 on the am dial and online. >> welcome to harrisburg. leland: this is what you get

ttv and radio guys together. the radio guy has a tie on and i don't of. and president trump says that the 100 days that we have been talking about is arbitrary in his words. and to understand how his supporters and voters feel, do they agree with him this is arbitrary? >> absolutely, they do. in fact, to a person, i have yet to find anyone who is upset with the president. but it's to a point. you know, i've heard grumblings about health care not being passed and the wall and what have you, but i think that everybody understands that it takes some time. so, i do think it's arbitrary. leland: how long is the honeymoon period for his voters? >> i think it's pretty long, but it's not a second term. if we get to the point, well, we tried really hard and during the second term we're going to. that's not going to fly. this came as a result of the tea party, the donald trump movement. and while they're very loyal people, they're not going to put up with things not getting done. leland: the mainstream media

has obsessed, for lack of a better term, over the president's, all them what you will, flip-flops, inconsistencies, changes of opinion. in that way, does it matter to his voters or are they okay with him, saying, well, maybe the wall will be a fence in some places, maybe we won't completely repeal obamacare and change it a little bit. are they okay with the changes? >> i believe so. let's look at nafta. with nafta, we had the mainstream media saying, oh, my gosh, what is he doing? he's going to tear this apart and this relationship is going down in flames. and they came to the table and are now willing to negotiate. i think we believe that this is trump's style and it's pretty effective. leland: give us a sense. the president comes here in a couple of hours for this rally. these have been sort of reset points for the trump presidency. we saw, sort of after the first couple of weeks and the narrative was really becoming tough for the president.

he went to melbourne, florida and that was sort of a reset for him. we've seen him do this on saturday night. do we need a reset here or something else? >> i think what we need is a reminder what he's accomplished in the first 100 days and he's coming to what the usa today, a few years back, called the most conservative area from the mason-dixon line through the center of, know. the mayor is right, he didn't win harrisburg or the cities, but i tell you pennsylvania was big for him. leland: it was huge as he would say. is this support going to, shall we say, trickle down into some of the other races here? does the president have coat tails he can use? >> some might consider that it trickled up, in that we have a state senator, scott wagner from york county just south of here, who won on a write-in because of the republican party denied him basically, he won that office on a write-in and then went on to win the office

on his own and he's running for governor, so-- >> local knowledge. there is no substitute for. rj, appreciate it, see you on the radio. >> my pleasure. leland: thanks, liz. elizabeth: there's much more ahead in the next hour of america's news headquarters. president trump marking day 99 of his presidency addressing the n.r.a. in atlanta. today he marks day 100 with a rally in pennsylvania. we'll have more after the break.

..

welcome to a special edition of tremont. on the saturday and pennsylvania's capital city. harrisburg. just a few short hours from now president trump will hold a major rally marking his 100 day in office. it's hard to imagine it's been 100 days. >> congress has delayed a shutdown by extending funding for the government until next friday. also in the news today. climate change experts our marching about his 100th day. and republicans who have then split. they appear to be closer to a deal. we will get reaction from michigan's democrat who is not

happy about that. who is not happy about that. president donald trump has acknowledged that it's been a little bit more challenging than what he anticipated. the president is setting the stage for the next chapter in what has been an already dynamic and often controversial presidency. he said his message on the road and that's where we find our own white house correspondent. he is live and pennsylvania's capital. >> nice to be with you. a very special day for the present. also a rather interesting opportunity to say thank you to the folks here in the keystone state. i want to take a second to take you back to election night. he not only one of the keystone state it helped put him over the top. in the oval office and by the way picking up about 307

electoral votes in the process. he is looking forward to tonight rally. looking forward to rally in the great state of pennsylvania. tonight at 7:30. we expect him to talk about a lot of his victory. reassuring americans that the right to bear arms is a fundamental right. he also sat down with our martha mcallen who ask what has changed most in his life since becoming president. >> edit how much privacy but now i have no privacy. i said to somebody the other day i love driving cars. a great event is getting into a car and driving someplace i can do that anymore i really had it but able to do that

since the primaries. it has been a long time. >> he also told martha that he is been building relationships with a number of world leaders and while some of those are fresh relationships he said there are still in porton building blocks for him. a lot of great relationships in the future. i have tremendous feelings for a lot of the people running the countries of this world and that's a good thing. you don't measure that in the first 100 days but those foundations have been set in the first 100 days. >> foundations set says the president. we expect a little counterprogramming against the white house correspondents dinner. and you would expect as much. take a guy who made his living doing among other things a lot of media. we will look forward to being counterprogramming.

very conscious of the uptick. will be looking to you for that reporting. just 18 days before his surprise upset. he said not far from where we are here in pennsylvania and made this promise. i'm asking the american people to dream big once again. what follows is my 100 day action plan to make america great again. it is a contract between donald j trump and the american voter and it begins with bringing honesty, can ability and change to washington dc. as we would find out that was enough for the keystone state to be strong red nobody thought it would happen but the president didn't let see did it let see how the

president is doing here today. chairman of the republican party of pennsylvania. welcome to pennsylvania. it is good to be here. what really struck me most about the live shot there was all of the people lined up for the president rally six and a half hours before he takes the stage. it seems 100 days on the excitement really hasn't diminished. i was traveling up in northwestern pennsylvania yesterday and a lot of whom are former democrats. they are very excited about donald trump and that's our challenge how to capture the spokes and bring this into the republican party. you are certainly working on it and you seem to say that the president is helping you with that you gave him an a- in a recent newspaper interview for the first 100 days why the minus. >> a little bit more discipline would be good. but the towhee is setting is great.

i'm talking to manufacturers in small business owners all caps pennsylvania who are really excited about québec regulations in texas and bring back coal and steel and manufactured into pennsylvania. it's interesting. we have the mayor of harrisburg on. he could not point to a single policy that he have a problem with. there was no policy that he really have an issue with. as you talk to folks across the state especially folks that voted for donald trump they're very excited that he is he's staying true to the promise. the pennsylvania democratic party issues a pronouncement yesterday to come out and protest because donald trump is not keeping his promises. let's talk about those promises for a second. we've seen the president as you noted on twitter talking about how many jobs he is bringing back our folks

talking about that or are they talking about the hope that the president is providing them. >> they're talking about both. most people are talking about the renewed sense of optimism. when he said to the government agency for every new regulation enough to to get rid of two old ones that in and of itself creates a sense that we can create jobs without having government on her back. he is already created optimism. we know you're emceeing tonight's program you will spend some time with the president what are you in a time. what is pennsylvania need him to do. we need him to continue to do what he's been doing. we are going to tell him that we need that. we need to repeal and replace obama care. those were things that the president promised he was going to get done.

tax cuts we are a long way from actually getting a tax cut. even ronald reagan it took until august until he got his tax cut through. when you're trying to regulate or repeal obama care and then have a piece of legislation that create controls that. it's gonna take some time. we to make sure it gets done right. i'm sure we will be seen you on the tv later tonight as you introduce the vice president we appreciate you spending some time with us. >> trump promised to repeal and replace obama care like we were talking about. he has yet to pass legislation demand to lead the huge loss. it is worse than the original and he joins me now. thank you so much. tell me why especially with the new proposed amendments

you feel as if trump care will leave folks in michigan worse off. if you remember during the campaign he promised that everyone would be covered and a quote him precisely everybody would be covered at a fraction of the cost. but what this plan would do is essentially a laminate one of the most important provisions that i know even many republicans want to see included and that is a prohibition on denying someone coverage based on a pre-existing condition. it's kind of cute ploy to say that the state can make that decision and that they would be given not enough resources in order to guarantee that sort of coverage in from members of congress. >> it doesn't necessarily say that. you've said that 24 million will be kicked off. they have not reported on this

particular with the new amendments coming in if we get those reports that they are not kicked off still no more support from you because you do not believe in this proposed plan. in fact. most analysis says that the 24 million number will go up when it is scored. here is the question. if there are so they are so concerned about that why would they move the legislation before getting a score so that we actually know what the impact would be. many analysts have said that the 24 million number will actually go up under this new proposal so i really know how this keeps the promise that president trump pledged to the american people that everyone would be covered not only will people get kicked up their health insurance most analysis says that premiums will go up and that guarantee that people with pre-existing conditions.

>> obviously there is still a lot of work to be done because we have not seen that bill come to information. keeping the status quo and i want to pull a couple of stats just for michigan in particular the state cannot observe more medicaid clients at think you could agree with that. the premiums in michigan are going to go up. an average of 16%. that is the status quo. what are you proposing if their proposals aren't working and i don't see anything from the democratic side of the aisle. if you're not seen anything from the democratic aisle. we had been proposing all along changes for example why doesn't the president suggest

what is it that leadership in congress suggest. i am missing it. what have you proposed. for example why won't this suggest that the federal government negotiate for prescription drugs at a reduced price. right now they prohibit the federal government from negotiating with with drug manufacturers for better prices. that would make a huge difference. that's the second make on medicaid patients. a huge difference. i've seen no evidence from democratic support that those exact things that you said proposed with any of those ideas. >> you really had. it's been almost central to discussion the discussion since this entire debate begin.

it's one of the things we talked about nearly every day. when were talking about the steps that we need to take to deal with exploding healthcare cost. if you bring down costs you bring down premiums. in one of the ways to bring down costs is to make sure that we can negotiate for progress -- prescription drugs. so we don't just take whatever price they put in front of us. >> well that be in legislation, or begin to see you see democrats come to the table with that idea that you just said. the republican leadership won't take it up. so far the question that summary might ask president trump why not suggest that. why not include that. the question answers itself. is there some reason that they are unwilling to take on the drug companies i don't know? that's a question. there are many others. that we need to deal with. dealing with medicaid expansion the republican

governor of michigan row along with a number of other republican governors asking that the federal government not go in this direction. not take this step to change the very nature of medicaid. and this is not something that even neatly fits that typical partisan divide. and i really want to make it that way. they are willing to work on this. but all of the negotiations had been between the white house and factions within the republican conference they have not even been able to come to agreement with one another. i'm not sure they're willing to negotiate on anything. we offer all the time. let's hope that the president is watching today and republican leadership is watching. thinking pick up the phone and

give them an offer. we hope you come back. thank you so much for joining us are. thank you so much for joining us are. the president will certainly be talking a lot about healthcare today. for a little bit more on that. tune in tomorrow 11:00 a.m. howard kurtz is in a sit down with press secretary sean spicer to talk about how they have done the white house. to talk about the new republican health care plan. as you just heard. they have a lot to say about that in a tax-cut plan as well. and tomorrow he is leading present trumps were on the

opioid addiction crisis. currently dealing with historically low approval numbers. as he reflects on his accompaniments and is p has any regrets. you don't do everything i hundred% right. i have learned a lot over the past time in life. i have no big regrets about what has happened in my career. i feel like when i look back on people who good perspective on what i did and what i accomplished. the same people who now had 25% have me at 75% just two years ago. people change their minds and they will change them again. if that happens it's great what i care about most is what i get done.

that's what i have done. and i'm very proud of what i've done. >> you can see my entire interview tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. eastern time right here on the fox news channel. of course if you heard cheering and drums in my life location. a rally is already underway. as you know president trump signed a handful of executive orders. as part a broader strategy to rollback climate change regulations put in place by his predecessor. caroline shively is at the washington mall at the site of the rally. [indiscernible] you can take a look at some of the science that anger you can

see in the science there's everything from stop burning fossil fuel to it's our time to leave. high wire you guys out here today. what you want to tell president trump. we want to tell him that it's a real and we will not stop until we get climate justice. they should be to the white house in just a few minutes. they will be there for about 100 seconds. do you have a message. people are marching and not wanting to talk. they are angry about those things that you mentioned in the regulations that president trump is rolling back. some people here are fired up. they are taking the message. straight to the white house. liz, back to you. >> a very rowdy crowd. i think you so much.

coming up vice president pentz is testing it this morning. plus brenda details on the former national security adviser michael flynn and his ties to vladimir putin. will see what congress is looking into right now. we are life from the harrisburg pa. the capital diner. we've been talking with a lot of folks there about what they think of the president. i haven't lost my job waiting just yet. we are can have that there in the polls. when we come back. stay right here. with ugly bare spots. but scotts ez seed changes everything. our finest grass seed plus quick-start fertilizer and natural super- absorbent mulch grow grass anywhere.

the river here and harrisburg pennsylvania one of the river boats heading up the river. on a beautiful spring saturday. president trump marks his first 100 days here with the rally a little bit later today. life at the capital diner where he has been serving up pancakes in politics how are

they feeling about the president's visit. it's very interesting time in this diner of course. famous in 2008. hillary clinton came here. though, the first 100 days how do you think trump is doing. >> i think he is doing pretty good. he will work it out. he has another four years to go. and i think he will do really good. what would you like to see him do in the next 100 days. i think as far as health care and jobs i think that has a lot to do with it. give me a one to ten how's he doing. >> i think about a five. i think there is a lot of room for improvement in what i would like to see in him to

take care of the people here not just the companies but the people and let us get tax breaks and better healthcare. i'm just going to bump a little bit. i told you you could eat it. how do you think president trump is doing in his first 100 days. etiquette and i think is an excellent job summing up stream. do you think that maybe even the media is pushing against him. on a scale of one to ten what he think how's he doing. we can get registered. but we went there and we checked it out. they're going to stay and have a cake in pancakes they can't even get in the rally. the pulse is strong here. for sure we've already seen folks lining up there at the rally not far from where you

are. thank you so much. bring me some of that cheesecake back buddy. the vice president is giving some home state love in respect to the newest member of the u.s. navy --dash a navy fleet. the nuclear powered submarine. the vessel is 377 feet long. it weighs nearly 8,000 tons. the navy calls it a technological marvel that will never require refueling. >> with the failed missile test.

a missile launch that felt

flat. just of few minutes. sending out a tweet in response saying that north korea disrespected at the the wishes of china and its highly respected president when it launched. here with me now jaclyn claimants. she has a very latest. thank you so much for joining us. i want to ask you. your reporting was there any sense of shock of more of a sense of we got this coming. we initially heard the reports last night. i don't think anybody respect -- expected a missile we thought the president tweet about it saying that it was disrespectful. he could speak more for the chinese after working with them to get north korea to tone down the rhetoric. what do you gather could take place at next. especially because we are seen as you said another attempt.

i think we will deftly see president trump try to work more through the chinese to try to stop these kind of test. it was scheduled to be there later this month. the u.s. military assets that are there. and news and developing. i want to bring it back here and i want to ask you where was the disconnect i have read that he had been warned in 2014. where was the disconnect and all of this. we saw him released documents

this week. we sought the 2014 letter that said you cannot do this. it's not really clear right now what his thinking was in his doing this. whether he thought it was okay. his lawyers said he briefed the defense department. other documents said that there are no paper trails. it's not clear there but i'm wondering if there's any clarity when it comes to the white house process of vetting how could he have gotten around this. any clarification as far as that the white house he had been given the security clearance. the democrats are definitely pushing back against that. and saying that it was up to that trumpet ministration to do their own abetting but they did not perform another background check. we are talking about two different in ministrations and roles. >> and he pointed out that the

obama administration has actually fired mike flynn. there was some adjustment whether they were unhappy with his performance in his background on it was up to that trump administration. what have we learned from the white house and what are you and other reporters trying to get from the white house. more documentation. have you learned anything. there is still a lot of investigations going on. people are pretty tightlipped while those are unfolding. the defense department launched an investigation this week sean spicer said he believes that is the appropriate thing to do. right now were just waiting to see whether these investigations are gonna go and if there's can be any punishment or gel time as a result. >> what could be the punishment that you're facing. he could face up to five years in prison.

the former general officer he is still subject to the military code. he could also face punishment under that for things like the conduct and becoming an officer. under the military code as well as a federal law. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> just as interesting as president trump himself is his cabinet. filled with political veterans and some outsiders in the world of washington. a report card on the president in his cabinet during the first 100 days. plus, pope francis addressing the warships just weeks after the terror attack on palm sunday. what he told his flock in these tough times.

i put it on my back. ok, this is interesting. there we go. there's the little tingle. i feel this electrical pulse grabbing at my muscles. i'm pleasantly surprised. it was more powerful than i was expecting it to be. it worked. what can i say? i believe aleve. learn more and read reviews at aleve.com. after becoming one of the largest broadband companies in the country. after expanding our fiber network coast to coast. these are the places we call home. we are centurylink. we believe in the power of the digital world. the power to connect. and that's what drives us everyday. our 18 year old wase army in an accident.'98. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me,

>> a little water seen here on the river here in harrisburg pennsylvania. president trump arrived just six arrives just six hours from now to start his speech in the city that he once called a war zone and now he's coming back to think the folks in pennsylvania. for his victory and celebrate 100 days in office. the pope is wrapping up his two-day trip. to the country's small catholic population there. security as you might understand and expect was tight outside of the air defense stadium. as he developed -- delivered mass. it happened on palm sunday. pope francis is comforted. it has led to so much violence.

>> today marks the 100th day of office but also 100 days of his new team in the west wing. james rosen with a inner circle report card. donald trump's first choice for his team he made six months ago and it was by many accounts his smartest. i want to thank you vice president pants for your wonderful introduction but maybe more importantly for your incredible service to our country. you have done an incredible job. across the first 100 days mike pence has served multiple roles as a bridge to congressional republicans and movement conservatives a key player in judicial nominations. >> the shield stands guard and the sword stands. into the trip to europe in asia to allies overseas. i do think that vice president

mike pence is probably his greatest asset in that should certainly be engaged at every level. in an interview with fox news are the only member of the trump team who cannot be fired that he speaks to the president nearly every day. to be around president trump is someone who is constantly generating ideas and task and giving direction. this is a the favorite parlor game. the reports continue to swirl about the chief strategist feuding with the president's son-in-law. like all new on the in ministrations the trumpet presidency has been driven with early tensions. see. >> we know from the campaign he is ruthless. you come and you go. in the people who are wise about him realize that they may be here now but maybe not tomorrow. that was certainly the case

for general michael flynn. the have of the intelligence agency. before being fired. for having misled mike pence. he is a fine person and i ask for his resignation. he respectably gave it. a decorated commander in iraq and afghanistan who was also the author of the dereliction of duty. they order the only military action. they have been launched days earlier. they told him the national security team was out so will integrated that conducted the strike while china's president was visiting post no stress to the system. i think the degree of activity. no one even broke a threat about --dash at a time when he

was secretary of state rex tillerson was saying that the syrian people would decide the fate in shortly after he is compliant with nuclear deal. >> is the present concern that he may be cheating. if he did it. he would have allowed us to move forward. in the time of approval. requiring the senate confirmation. he had nominated only 58. had nominated more than three times.

as many as mister trump have. adjusting slowly to the transition. and i am friendly concerned about it. the president ran a campaign with an stream staff. this is an enormous undertaking. this is 12 times as large. so you can't really run it as lean perhaps if the president thinks he can. julie pace on friday the white house team doesn't get the respect it deserves. he cited the chief chief of staff who many observers believed has after a rough start imposed a post a measure of order of the process and the mastery of the senate to ensure that houses the ascension to the high court. james rosen, fox news. all successive that he have only talked about in the past and will hear in harrisburg in

a few hours speaking of that. from the twitter page just now looking for to the rally in the great state of pennsylvania tonight. he is over there at the arena said that folks are already lining up in perhaps previewing his speech a little bit. president trump tweeting mainstream fake media refuses to state our long list of achievements including 28 legislative signings. in great optimism. it is a word that we continue to hear from the supporters here in pennsylvania. much of his first 100 days and some of the compass meant that the present is talking about here focused on helping small businesses. when we return to harrisburg one small business owner from just across the river here on

what she wants from the president of the nine united states to turn his policies into new jobs.

welcome to harrisburg pennsylvania something that president trump will be

hearing and a couple of hours when he arrives for a major rally here to mark his 100th day in office. and we welcome you back here to harrisburg. when president trump was elected small business owners hoped he would be more business friendly than his rival and he certainly has done a lot for small businesses in the first 100 days. but not necessarily are all small business owners that optimistic about it. in the first 100 days. but not necessarily are all small business owners that optimistic about it. i had two wonderful disclosure admit to our viewers that we have some fantastic gluten-free cookies from you earlier. that will not affect our interview at all. >> it seems like you are willing to give him a chance right now. what do you like so far. so far i have to be honest. i haven't seen a change in my business because he has been president but i can say that

can't say that i'm very optimistic about the future some of the tax plan that he is talking about come to fruition a lot of businesses like myself will see a lot more money going into our business rather than going into the coffers. >> we have some pictures of the coffee house. it's important to really look at what this tax rate could do. what is most significant to businesses like you one of the first things we would do.

when you pay taxes as high as what we do and other small businesses do it's hard to be able to put money back into your business so i think we look to expand and grow even more it would give us more time also to not had to spend time looking at the regulations of the tax code. we've seen the president d regulate. you employ 15 people. that's 15 jobs here in harrisburg. is there anything in addition to the tax cut that you would need to hire more people may be to expand and have a second cornerstone. there certainly would be. i think also the affordable care act there has to be something to be done with that also. are you optimistic based on what you've seen so far out of congress. >> do you think it's gonna cost more? and i have the optimism yet because i don't feel that from our congressional people down
