3:29 am
the tears.r husband killed in action in that raid in yemen. and her father has been critical of the administration calling for an investigation. the agenda trump set out in broad brush strokes is pretty much what he has been ing all along, stronger defense, lower taxes for cop racings and for the middle-class, tougher borders and that wall, on ending obama care, he was more direction. >> tonight i am calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. america will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears. >> reporter: the test now isan follow through. i'm david wright in washington. >> well joining now is political leen dec kathleen, thank you for joining ho cu covering this sort of stuff for decades now, what struck you
3:30 am
about the speech? that cha >> it was a definite change tone for president trump. it is, it is in keeping with what previous presidents have done. at s union or at their first presidential address, as it was for him. before congress. but, one never knows which trump will show up. and, this time we, we got election night trump. who was more sober, more reasoned, followed the teleprompter, didn't indulge in any of the sort of nasty comments that he occasionally makes on twitter, or in some of his public statements. so, in that sense, it was, it was different for him. >> earlier, cathleen he gave himself a c in getting his message out. comment now that you saw how he spoke tonight or last night rather? >> reporter: i think we need to see how it plays out in the future. this may be an anomaly or it may be a turn. we don't know yet.
3:31 am
i think that he has been frustrated in, in getting his message out. and he, he enjoyed in the campaign a real ability to speak over the top. so his media interrogators to the public. and i think he realized in the presidency that's much harder to do because just the setup is completely different. so, i am not sure that, that he wholly owns the sea, he may blame all of us for some of that. but certainly, i think there will be a heartened by the -- by the response to this speech, which, again, was a much more conventional speech from an unconventional president. but is likely to gain him a lot of credit among viewers who see only snippets, all of us watched the whole thing all the way through.ttle, bits andeo pple s, and may well come to a better notion o him. >> given that kind of change in messaging and tone, we have seen from him in the past, how much can you really hang on this speech for some one who is feeling either pessimistic or optimistic about it? >> hate to sound look a broken
3:32 am
record. i do think we are dealing with trump, fair to say, all most all of the time, that we don't really know. until we get some sort of consistent momentum in a particular direction. i think that a lot of people have hung on his words at particular times in the campaign. only to weak up the next morning, see a tweet and despair they had misread what they thought he was saying. it is early in his presidency, what, 45 or so days in. he has a lot of self definition to do. certainly this doesn't hurt him among the broader public and in fact probably helps him. helps calm down some of his critics in the house and senate who were worried they might see something much more inflammatory tonight from him. which they didn't. and, and, i am not sure that in this hyper-partisan atmosphere we are in anything will bridge the gap between democrats and republicans. >> too early to be excited or too early to be down on this. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> of course, we will continue to have more coverage about the
