outside for hours with the crowds. and i can tell you by a rough estimate there are at least 50,000 people who came the see the president today, people from other states, people who drove for hours. people who came with their families and were looking to have that energy, that close contact, with the president they had during the campaign. now, there is also hundreds of protesters outside. but there are way more supporters, as i said, thousands of them. there is only space in this hangar behind me at the orlando melbourne international airport for 9,000 people. there were only pictures available for 9,000 people. those ticket were all sold out. at 4:30 those people had made their way here and have been waiting to hear from president donald trump. they have been screaming cnn sucks, fake news. they are wanting to hear directly from him. they want more of the direct

connection they had with him during the campaign. and they tell me they still support him. the president had a rough week in washington. one of his cabinet picks fell through. he fired his national security adviser. he is hoping with this rally to try to recover some of that energy from the campaign and to turn the tide of his month-old presidency. >> i saw you outside earlier. as the supporters were there and the first amendment zone which was also on the same side there was some concern there may be some tension, perhaps some interplay. was it pretty much okay throughout the afternoon? >> reporter: i'm sorry, richard, can you repeat your question? you were talking about tensions outside, i believe? >> yes, was there tension outside between the two groups? >> reporter: well the protesters were cordoned off and there is a street in between. and the protesters weren't allowed to chant right at the doorstep of the hanger at

orlando melbourne airport. but just when we were walking in here about half an hour ago inside this hanger it seemed there were more protesters than before. certainly, there are tensions outside. but most of the trump supporters, they are already in here or hoping to hear from the president from this cordoned off additional space that has been made available outside. this is certainly -- i mean, this street outside here and the city of melbourne today certainly a reflection of the divided state of our nation. >> i don't know if you can hear me? what are on the signs being held up behind you? what are on the signs that are there? >> reporter: the first thing i can tell you is that we are not very popular here. most of the signs have been, you know, written to say "fake news", "cnn sucks" that is what it seems to me seems to have energized his supporters.

but there are also signs saying support trump, just let him govern. there were also people who told me they were democrats and now turned trump supporters. on the protesters side we also saw lots of signs of people saying that he may build a wall but they are going the build bridges. certainly the immigration issue is near and dear to their hearts. there is a naval base not far away. many veterans in attendance here today that are hoping to hear from donald trump and what he will do for the veteran and the military community here in florida. >> quite a rally going on there, mariana atencio stand by. of course we will be watching that as president trump arrives shortly and begins his rally and speech and comments. mariana, thank you very much despite all of that noise and energy. i want to bring in a panel.

great seeing the three of you. genie, because you are here in front of me, this looks and sounds like the campaign that has not ended. we are only 30 days into this new presidency. trying to draw energy here. needed, despite what's happening in washington, d.c.? >> yeah. i mean given the week he has had it's no surprise. any thinking person and any president would want to escape d.c. after the week he had. what is different here is most presidents early in their administration who try to escape d.c. do it to push a policy. whether it's health care reform, immigration reform. the oddity here is he is going out as a campaign rally. we know he already filed his papers on inauguration to run in 2020. >> on the 20th he did it. >> the campaign -- is paying for the rally. he is going out as a pure campaign stop without addressing

a policy interest. that to me is the biggest mistake the white house is making here. they have a huge crowd there, a lot of energy, a lot of moment you will. you need to get off the attacks on the press and focus on policy issues because the bottom line is you can't run for president over and over again. you have got to govern and that's what we are missing with donald trump at this point. >> in the comment taers you have seen, karen, is get to work. president trump, you are now getting out in the field again, at a rally in a big hangar, great pictures, great energy. but get to work. how do democrats take advantage of that thematic? >> i have to tell you, i disagree with the premise here that this is not a wise idea. i think it is genius idea. what it does it reminds democrats in washington and republicans in washington that he is still able to draw these large crowds, that there is a lot of energy and enthusiasm and support that he has got. and that he doesn't actually have to talk about policy in order the maintain that support. at least not yet. there certainly will come a time

i think when his supporters will say okay where are the jobs that you promised us? you know, where are the increasing incomes, where are the other things you promised. but i think it is a smart strategy to remind people, flex that nufl and show he has a lot of support. we forget a lot of times the conferring we have here in washington doesn't always translate outside washington. mr. trump has a unique ability to go around the mainstream media through his twitter accounts and rallies like this to rally his base. i think that's what they are trying to do, do a show of strength and a show of support and remind folks here in washington hey i've still got a lot of power out in the country. >> because i can reach the voters directly. good point. lenny, react to that. is that what he is saying. mitch mcconnell, paul ryan i have support on the ground, you better support me in the issues they may be working on. >> he is doing two i think so

this. number one he is the first few populist president. if you are going to talk about his policy, it's populism. what do you do to increase your platform fur a populist candidate or populist person that's been elected to office? you continue that populism rising and stoke that fire. that's exactly what he is doing. and number two, to the second point that you bring up richard is he speaking to mitch mcconnell, speaker ryan? no. who is he speaking to? he is speaking to senators running for re-election in 2018 that are in swing states and saying, listen, i can be the difference between you winning or losing. i can be the difference between you having another six years or another two years or being prime airied in the spring of 2018. therefore, you may start lining up against me -- he may not be i believe to do anything with john mccain but he can do something in certain states. by riling up the populism he is able to actually speak to his

platform, populism, while at the same time talking to those vulnerable republicans he is going to need and try to get them on boy board by going outside of the beltway and leveraging his strength and sending a message back to capitol hill. >> we have our democratic strategy and republican strategy agreeing on something here. do you agree it's smart end to end. >> i don't think it's smart end to end. i don't think there is anything wrongdoing a rally. you have to think about the congressmen going on break. what are they facing? unhappy constituents. not just in democratic districts. you are talking republican districts, conservative districts. why? because in the end campaigning is one thing. there is nothing wrong with it. he can keep doing it. but you also have got govern and that requires moving policy forward. this is a president four weeks in who has yet to focus on a legislative action through congress. of course it's still early but

that time is going to fall short. we have the speech coming on the 28th. he is going to have to move towards policy or this constant -- populism -- yes he is a popular president but it is not a poll see. you need to have jobs policies, international policies, you need to have domestic policies. that's what's missing. may talk about those things. i hope he does. if his simples message is to bash the press ittel riles up his base in the moment but doesn't serve him in the long term or within the party. >> i mentioned at the top, lenny, he had the resignation of his national security adviser, withdrawal of one of his cabinet members. the issue with russia. he is. treeing again, third weekend in a row to mar-a-lago. does that make sense given who has to be done? >> based on who mr. trump has

been. it makes sense based on what he has been. mike pence is halfway around the world. you create the legislative endeavors that you want to pursue and i will sign it into law. he doesn't have to go out there and talk about the issues. he can leave that to speaker ryan, leave it to mitch mcconnell and that stuff can get done. part of what we are still looking at is what is the dynamic going to be between white house republicans and those that are going to be pushing legislation on capitol hill? that's what we have yet to see determined. is he going to interfere when it comes to the nuts and bolts of replacing the aca with the republican version and the update aleppo hopefully of what they are going to put into place? he may not. he may leave it up to the walks such as speaker ryan and then sign it into law. if he does that, that frees him up to allow vice president pence to go overseas do the foreign

policy work, let rex tillerson do the other foreign policy works and stoke up the populism he needs to push through the things the republicans as somewhat of a combined effort are going to do over the next six months. if that's the case then this all makes sense. >> karen, one of the concerns is that those at the munich security conference were saying yes we have vice president pence here speaking on behalf of the united states of america but left hand, right hand, we are not sure even though we are hearing this message from vice president pence that the president of the united states donald trump believes it or may change his mind at any whim. >> that's absolutely right. this is a pattern we saw frankly throughout the campaign, right, where you would have -- mr. trump would say one thing, particularly on twitter, and then you would have his spokespeople and mr. pence come out and say something very different. i think it's very clear that what they are trying to do at this munich conference is to tamp down the real concerns i think we have heard over the

last several weeks from our nato allies and others trying to understand what will our foreign policy posture be. certainly it makes people uncomfortable to see not only has the national security adviser general flynn had to step down but now we are hearing reports that others don't want the job as was reported today thesh concerned about how erratic mr. trump has been. clearly, pence is over there trying to calm and ease those fear and put on a good face for world audience. back here at home the other piece of this is, again, mr. trump doesn't actually -- you know, he is still figuring out his relationship with republicans in congress. but don't forget, they need him. they need him to sign off on the legislation that he -- that they want to get passed so when they go home and try to talk about it as they run for re-election the things they have gotten done. the last thing i would want to add is let's not forget also doing this rally is also meant

to be a distraction from what a terrible week mr. frump has had. i mean, this doesn't go to the narrative that they tried to push during the campaign of trump as, you know, this person who is a great manager and he has run all these businesses so well. we know that's not actually true. and again all these reports coming out of the white house about the chaos in addition to having the national security adviser have to step down and the challenges they are having replacing him. this rally and throwing the red meat out to the base i think is meant to create a distraction just like the press conference the other day from having that conversation and the conversation on what is going on between russia and the united states. >> the signs, those are provided by his people. now not allowed to bring any

signs. women for trump. trump/pence, another one of the signs. what do you think the push is here? other than we have strength listen to me zmaerts that are up for re-election? >> i think he is trying to -- absolutely i agree with karen, he is trying to distract from the troubling first few week. he is also trying to speak to his base. this is also an element, this is where he is comfortable. and imy point is you have got t govern. that requires policy. you can couple these things together but you cannot walk away from our duty as president of all of us to tell us what your agenda is and push for that agenda. that's what i'm hoping he will do. i have no confidence he will do it. >> it's also 30 degrees warmer in florida. just want to -- awful you, stand by. lenny i know you are are trying

to get in there. stand by. we'll get to the rally when president trump comes up to the lectern. as you can see, there was a prayer. earlier there was a song being sung. it was america the beautiful. we are going to take a short break. we'll take you right back to melbourne, florida, president trump about to give his remarks. help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com.

american and islanders. to bridge the government and api agencies nationwide. wednesday ten commission members announced their resignations. they say they feel unsupported by president trump's policies, particularly health care, immigration and education. in their letters, issues like the president's portrayal of immigrants, refugees, people of color and people of various faiths as untrustworthy threatening and a drin on our country. that was written inside that letter. joining us malik modri. >> this commission existed under four presidents. i think the work of the commission when it's best served serves as aly ason between the americans and the pacific islanders from white house. we take the concerns of the

community to the white house. they are hearing our concerns and we are able to provide access and fill holes on the ground where needs are not being met. under this administration we are not able to do that. six commissioners resigned prior to trump's inauguration because they felt they were una i believe to work with the president. ten of us resigned this week. i think we hoped we would have a seat at the table and i think it's fair to assume we won't be able to raise the concerns of our constituents. >>. there are four commissioners who decided to stay on to try to continue the work they are doing under the guise of the white house. i tell you this, permanently some of the stuff i work on as a commissioner i don't thinkic do anymore wearing that hat. one of the big things i worked on was an antibullying campaign out of the white house.

i don't think i can go to a muslim american kid who is being bullied and say i'm haoer from the white house and here to hear your concerns and help. >> does this mean you are going to stop doing that. >> no not at all. part of the reason i resigned is i think i can do my work better outside of the white house. we have called it active change. we have over 60 grassroots organizations. we met with schools and promoted through state and local governments. i think there is ways we can work outside of white house. >> malik, as you know, tomorrow will mark the 75th anniversary of that executive order that led to the incarceration of 120,000 japanese americans during world war ii. and as you know, many in the immigrant community worry it could happen again. this based on statements made by president trump and the recent immigration ban.

what's your view? how will you combat that? >> i think that's part of the reason we timed this resignation to this time we recognize that, that there is a real danger here, we recognize that anything coming of this president's mouth we have to take seriously. if you look at who he surrounded himself with cabinet wick wise. that's why i have chose tony leave the commission. my work is better done to resist from the outside, fight back against policies. i have attended rallies in new york city against the muslim ban. i stood on the steps saying i do not believe this this ban. i was wearing a hat that said i advise the president, a president who won't listen the our concerns. i can't do that anymore. we have to stand outside of the white house and fight back. >> according to api data, one out of sevenationan american pacific islander immigrants are undocument. we have an immigration ban that came out. how has the api reacted to that?

>> i think there is a lot of fear. people are feared and taird terrified of the ideas of deportation, that families will be broken apart. we have to recognize this issue is complex. there are things outside of hey if you didn't get here legally you need to be hit out. people are already part of the fabric of the american culture. they are already part of the economic makeup of america. we can't just say hey we are shutting the door on your face. and i think the asian american and pacific islander community will be greatly affected by the policies coming out of this white house. >> four commissioners left. if and when they were to resign tell me when you believe that will happen? if they were to resign this is a historic ends to for this community. >> the four commissioners who stayed on have work they want to complete and they think they can do it through the white house. all 20 of us are tight knit, we

are committed to working together and we are going to find ways to continue the work that needs to be done. >> you can find more at msnbc.com/asian american on this topic of coverage. next we go to where the american congress feels the heat from constituents over the repeal of obamacare. >> let her talk. >> medicare is very important to people. >> it is. >> if you privatize it, you will not be reelected. i was out here smoking instead

of being there for my son's winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how.

every great why at planters, we put fresh roawhich has its drawbacks.an, guys, know anything about this missing inventory? wasn't me! the cheeks don't lie, chet... irresistibly planters.

any moment, president trump will take to that microphone and that lectern. we are waiting for the presidential seal to be put upon it. right now, there are speakers. there was a prayer, also the national anthem that was sung. we expect president trump very soon to arrive at this rally. we'll go straight to it when it does happen. first we have this. >> i think this anger is a response to the wakeup call that a lot of people are getting. i mean, i remember the day after the election and also election night being at democratic headquarters and there was a lot of disbelief. and that disbelief is

transforming into something different. and it's action. >> a resident of new york state there, frank bessey. he was at a town hall hosted by gop congressman tom reed that each drew such a large crowd they had to move it outdoors as you see there. angry protesters confronted reed. take a listen. >> less than 3% of the services is being provided. none of that 3% is funded by you. >> many gop representatives across the country experiencing similar confrontations prompting some to cancel face to face meetings likes this one right here in mount pleasant, south carolina. the chilly reaccepting that was seen in new york state did not discourage kongman reed, though. he hosted a number of town halls including this one in fillmore, also in new york which started moments ago. msnbc is in fillmore live. any sign the protests are

affecting the congressman's support for president trump as they get very prosirrous protestations. >> reporter: we just left the event in fillmore. it was a very muddy and very highly packed event. hundreds of people showed up. this was the you are toth event in congressman reed's day. this time yet again, probably 200 people there. most of them angry, upset with president trump. president trump's agenda. also with their congressman, congressman reed, who is a very strong supporter of president trump. so the answer to your question is, no, tom reed really stuck by president trump. he said he wanted to continue plans to repeal and replace obamacare. he spoke out about the immigration ban, stayed he supported it, and keeping the borders safe. he was met with a lot of brick bats, anger, boos, but he

persisted. he was calm, reasoned. he didn't seem to take the bait with the angry constituents. i spoke with him earlier and i asked him about all of this and how he felt about it and whether or not the pre testers he saw at his events were in fact paid, which is something he implied earlier this week. >> i don't know where they are coming from. i saw some news reports about organized efforts to disrupt and try to trap us in different positions. but i know who i am and what we are trying to do. because i care about the people here and care about people across the country that paid or organized, whatever that's fro, the passion is good. this is democracy. >> reporter: and i can tell you folks here are very, very passionate, richard. there is a wake up call for sure among the constituents of this very red congressional district, a whole bunch of people who perhaps weren't paying much to politics before this election are definitely energized.

they were right there, they were confrontational with their congressman. they say her going to continue to be so. lots of people talking about training and talking about joining and maybe running against him in the next election. we are also watching this, some pictures now outside of the hangar. you can see in this picture right here, melbourne, florida, about 5:33 p.m. we expect president trump to be arriving very soon. a crowd of about 9,000. on the phone watching this for us is mariana atencio. i guess a question for a lot of folks who have been there for a bunch of hours mariana is where is donald trump? >> that's a question that many people are asking here, especially those who came in from other states, drove for hours to be here. a lot of elderly people,

families with little children who i'm just looking around here are starting to get antsy because they have been here for hours and they want to hear from president donald trump. i can tell you that the first person in line when we got here has been here since 4:00 in the morning. a lot of people spend a long time outside of the hangar. it's not air conditioned. in the state of florida, that obviously is a problem when you have -- [ loss of audio ] >> reporter: but the music and the momentum occurring right this second, a lot of people are thinking it might be for president trump. a lot of people -- i'm seeing air force one. people are getting a glimpse of

air force one. the crowd has gone wild. they are expecting president donald trump. and he will take the stage here in the orlando melbourne international airport in this hangar that has space for 9,000 people. 9,000 tickets were made available. it was completely sold in and out a matter of hours. so again people went to great length, the crowd went to great lengths to be here. and they will now catch a glimpse of president donald trump. they also realize this is a momentous occasion for donald trump and for this first term. a lot of people that took the stage, the podium just now referenced a possible eight

years of donald trump that this crowd is hoping for. and they talked about, to this campaign style crowd -- any minute now, the crowd is going to get a glimpse of president donald trump. we are waiting for him to descend air force one any minute in this hangar. some of the signs that i'm reading here, make the air force great again. let's see what else. trump 2020. those are a couple of the signs i can see here in the hangar amongst the people. as i mentioned before we were outside with the crowd for hours. and outside there was a huge

crowd that showed up. the door has just opened. crowd is going wild. the staircase is moving closer to air force one and we are waiting for president donald trump to take the stairs. >> i'm not sure if you can hear me because i understand they are playing -- i understand there is a band there as well. if you can hear me, there were several speakers before they sang the national anthem and before you had the prayer for instance, voe louisa county republican party chairman tony led ber was there. what were some of the programics of the speakers before this moment here before president trump is about to come down

those stairs? >> reporter: i am not hearing well. >> mariana, i understand what you are saying. very difficult to hear. i can completely understand that. as we wait here for president trump to leave air force one and come down those stairs. still with us our panel, karen finny, jeanne zano, larry mcallister. jeanne, we are waiting for president trump to arrive. he very much is a stickler about events and appearances, amongst many other things. but of that particular focus that he has, this could not necessarily be more to what he would call perfection. a crowd of 9,000. they are screaming with signs. there are songs being played and air force one sneaks in stage right and comes into the picture. it steps. they move up the stairs, he

comes down. >> yeah, i mean it's absolutely beautiful from donald trump's perspective. and i'm sure his supporters are excited to have him come down. this is probably what he has been wanting since inauguration day, something he hasn't felt with enthusiasm feeling like he has been in a bubble with press attacking him at every corner. he has to be excited. depending on how this goes, you are likely to have a very enthused president talking about exactly the things he did on the campaign trail and those kinds of things that got his supporters excited enough to pull through a surprising victory even by his own standards. you are right, the picture here is beautiful. it was ron reagan who talked about the fact that the pictures are really important. and donald trump is a living example of that. >> you know, lenny, if this is that, as jeanne is describing, will we see this every two weeks, an event like this? >> you might. i don't know if it's going to be

something as big as this. but one of the things he's going to try to do as long as he needs to do this, going back to what we talked about previously, he is not necessarily trying to distract from this week. he is trying to redefine this week. and this gives him an opportunity to go to 9 to 10,000 people in person as well as hundreds of thousands if not millions on television and basically put his spin on what transpired over the course of this past week. white houses do this all the time he is doing it in an an unconventional way. he already has created and ran with the hashtag of fake news. this is an opportunity to go to his supporters and say, listen, i told you, it's the liberal media versus us and what we're trying to do, it's the establishment versus us trying to bring politics back to you. this gives him the opportunity to redefine what has transpired. now he has been very successful in doing that since 2015 since he announced his candidacy for the presidency.

so this is a continuation of that. as long as he can be successful doing that, whether it's something this big or smaller events, don't be surprised where he has to redefine an activity, an event, to ar transgression, he's going to do so. >> karen, stan by. i want to bring incaly o'donnell who joins us life on the phone. she is in florida and has been covering the president as he make his way to florida on this day. this morning -- he arrived late in the 8:00 a.m. hour; is that right? >> the president was here last night. stayed at his home in mar-a-lago. that's the name of his home in pauch palm beach. this is part of a working weekend and they have added this campaign rally to be part of that. the president, before he was in office, made the florida home his winter white house. and he is doing that now, trying to reconnect with voters because of all of the issues you have talked about.

he has not been able to sort of hear the roar of the crowd, feel that energy in the confines of the oval office or the roosevelt room where he has been cutting the business day to day. this allows him to deliver a message directly to voters, to hear back from them through the cheers in the crowd, the energy in the space and to be able to say look things are going well by the imagery we are seeing. he is able to utilize air force one. he is able to have this triumphant music that was very much a part of his campaign of the it's important to point out this is not a white house event, this is a campaign event. and the first lady and the president are here to live in moments that they had all through the season and to be able to try to connect with those voters and to say things are on track. >> the first lady as well as the president now coming down from air force one. they will now make their way to the stage. the seal will be put on the lectern.

not wearing a try. as i was mentioning earlier, 30 degrees warmer there in florida. perhaps enjoying the good weather as he makes it through this rally event, this campaign event, as kelly, you are describing. kelly, as he -- on his itinerary, based on the need here for a national security adviser and other things to be done, is there anything related to his schedule, his itinerary, in these two days that are in line with that work that needs to be done. >> reporter: yes. he will be doing interviews with four potential candidates tomorrow. but i just received word from our colleagues who traveled on the plane with the president that he spoke to them and said his message is going to be eun hit with a small exception. he was asked whether it is too early to be campaigning, only in office four weeks. his answer to the reporters, life is a campaign. making our country is a campaign. for me it is a campaign to make america great again. it's absolutely a campaign. so this is emphasizing the

message we are going to hear from the president, the way that he looks at his use of an even like this, the staging, the stage craft. all of these signs that you see here that are preproduced are paid for by his campaign committee, which still exists. and the president definitely sees this as tool of the office, that he can try to connect with supporters, with voters, perhaps those who have not supported him now, and also it's important to note that his vice president has been doing the important work overseas of trying to deal with allies while the president and the first lady, who was rarely on the campaign trail during the actual election season, now in the role as first lady, embracing that bit by bit in an unconventional sense. now they are a part of their first rally, post inauguration. richard? >> kelly, you are making that note here that the first lady is with the president for this rally. and some of the signs that were

preproduced and paid for by his campaign, women for trump, this as he has so notably remarked throughout the last two or three days because of his daughter, ivanka, and because of the first led's push for such issues. i guess the question might be might we see her on this campaign trail or on his speaking engagements more often? >> we haven't heard an answer on that specifically but we can tell you that she is beginning to assemble a staff for the east wing, as it's known, beginning to put together those staffers who will help her create a message and a mission for her time as first lady. of course, splitting her time in new york with their 10-year-old son, baron. on this weekend trip we can also tell that you ivanka, donald trump's daughter, her husband, jared kushner a couple of their children r also with them. we saw the president as grandfather in some of the images yesterday as he departed washington trying to use the imagery of family -- >> kelly, looks like the first

lady is about to speak. let's stop and take a listen. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. thank you. let us pray. our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespass as we forgive those who trespasses against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and

ever, amen. [ cheers and applause ] >> good afternoon. it is my honor and great pleasure to stand here before you as the first lady of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] the america we envision is one that works for all americans. and where all americans can work and succeed. a nation committed to a greater civility and unity between people from all sides of the political divide. i will always stay true to myself and be truthful to you, no matter what the opposition is

saying about me. i will act in the best interest of all of you. i'm committed to creating and supporting initiatives dear to my heart which will have impact on women and children all around the world. my husband is creating a country of great safety and prosperity. ladies and gentlemen, i'm proud to introduce the president of the united states, donald trump. [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] >> thank you, everybody. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i didn't know that marshaelania going to be saying the lord's prayer, but i thought that was beautiful. thank you. thank you: it's great to be here in florida, my second home with you. this is a state i truly love. this is a state where we all had great victory together. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] it's now been one month since my inauguration. and i am here to tell you about

our incredible progress in making america great again. and i'm also here to tell you about our our plans for the fut and they're big and they're bold and it's what our country is all about, believe me. i'm here because i want to be among my friends and among the people. [ cheers and applause ] this was a great movement, a movement like has never been seen before in our country or probably anywhere else. this was a truly great movement, and i want to be here with you, and i will always be with you, i promise you that. [ cheers and applause ] i want to be in a room filled with hard working american patriots who love their country, who salute their flag, and who

pray for a better future. [ cheers and applause ] i also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. [ cheers and applause ] the dishonest media, which has published one false story after another, with no sources, even though they pretend they have them, they make them up in many cases, they just don't want to report the truth and they've been calling us wrong now for two years. they don't get it, but they're starting to get it. i can tell you that. [ cheers and applause ] they've become a big part of the

problem. they are part of the corrupt system. thomas jefferson and abraham lincoln and many of our greatest presidents fought with the media and called them out, oftentimes on their lives. when the media lies to people, i will never ever let them get away with it. i will do whatever i can that they don't get away with it. they have their own agenda, and their agenda is not your agenda. in fact, thomas jefferson said, nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself, he said, becomes suspicious by being putting into the polluted vehicle. that was june 4th, my birthday,

1807. but despite all their lies, misrepresentations and false stories, they cannot defeat us in the primers, and they could not defeat us in the general election, and we will continue to expose them for what they are, and, most importantly, we will continue to win, win, win. [ cheers and applause ] we are not going to let the fake news tulsa what to do, how to live, or what to believe. we are free and independent people, and we will make our own choices. [ cheers and applause ] we're here today to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. i hear your demands. ism your voices. and i promise you, i will deliver. i promise that. [ cheers and applause ]

and, by the way, you've seen what we've accomplished in a short period of time. the white house is running so smoothly, so smoothly. and believe me, i and we inherited one big mess. that i can tell you. but i know that you want safe neighbors where the streets belong to families and communities, not gang members and drug dealers who are right now as i speak being thrown out of the one and they will not be let back in. we will have strong borders again. [ cheers and applause ] and i mean that. you've seen it on television. you've seen it on television.

general kelly now secretary kelly, he's really doing the job. you're seeing the gang members, bad bad people. i said it, day one. and they're going out. or they're being put in prison. but for the most part, get them the hell out of here. bring them back to where they came from. [ cheers and applause ] the fact is you want great schools for your children, you want good, high-paying jobs for yourselves and for your loved ones and for the future of your families. you want a health care system and, by the way, we are going to be submitting in a couple of weeks a great health care plan that's going to take the place of the disaster known as obamacare. [ cheers and applause ] it will be repealed and replaced. and for those people, the people

that are put into rooms where republicans are talking about the plan, and it wouldn't matter what they say, for those people just so you understand, our plan will be much better health care at a much lower cost, okay? nothing to complain about. obamacare, remember, it is a disaster. you want low-cost american energy also, which means lifting the restrictions on oil, on shale, all natural gas, and on clean, very clean coal. we're going to put the miners back to work. the miners go back to work. you want us to enforce our immigration laws, and to defend our borders. you want fair trade deals and a level playing field. we don't have a level playing field because you understand

that what american workers win, america as a country wins and wins big. and every country over the last long period of time has been taking advantage of the stupidity of our politicians. it's not going to happen any longer. [ cheers and applause ] you want lower taxes, less regulation, millions of new jobs, and more products stamped with those beautiful, beautiful words "made in the usa." you want to make it easier for companies to do business in america and harder for companies to leave. we don't want companies saying everybody's fired, we're moving to another country, we're going to make the product, selling it across the border. not going to happen anymore. weir going to have strong

borders and when they want to sell that product back across our bored, they're going to pay a 35% tax, and they're never going to leave. and you've seen that because i've already displayed it for the last two months even before i got into office. they're not leaving. and if they do, they're going to pay a very, very big price for terminating the relationship to our workers. you hadn't a government that serves the people, not the ador donors and special interests. you want a government that keeps its promises. a great spirit of optimism. and you see it, it's sweemg across the country. look at what's happening to the stock market. look at what's happening to every poll when it comes to optimism in our country. it's sweeping across the country. in fact, every day for the last long period of days, the stock

market, meaning companies, have been hitting new highs. they're going to start hiring. it's going to be a new day in america. you're going to proud again. [ cheers and applause ] jobs are already starting to pour back in. they're coming back in like you haven't seen in a long time. ford, general motors, fiat chrysler are bringing in and bringing back thousands of jobs, investing billions of dollars because of the new business climate we're creating in our country. in arizona, intel, great company, just announced it will open a new plant that will create at least 10,000 brand new beautiful american jobs. [ cheers and applause ] i followed through on my promise to withdraw from the job-killing disaster known as the

trans-pacific partnership, tpp. we have just terminated our relationship to it. we're going to have tremendous trade deals all over the world, but they're going to be bilateral or, as we would say, one-on-one. none of these deals would you be caught in quick sand. by the way, nafta and so many others. my administration has begun plans to crack down on foreign cheating and currency manipulation which is killing our companies and really, really hurting our workers. we're going to end it. [ cheers and applause ] within a few days off taking the oath of office, i've taken steps to begin the constru
