these string of what some have called hate crimes, hate streaks directed at these jewish community centers as well as mosques in our area. you'll see the note that wass sent to an area mosque that says i will pay $100 for charity for every muslim slaughtered and then it's followed by a crudede depiction of a violent act. you'll see the two centers in maryland that received these notes, both those centers in silver springs, one ever them the islamic education center of maryland and the other one thete muslim community center also in silver springs. the letters received last nighth and it's still unclear if they were mailed or simply placed at the centers, but the notes just received hours after there were three different communityent centers in virginia and maryland that also received bomb threats via telephone calls.ls. now, tonight some are questioning why threats like these asking for the

slaughtering of muslims would be sent to mosque and say it's shear hatred and intimidation. take a listen. >> a little bis panic because people come and go. i was a little bit afraid. i want to consult with the people p. i spoke to them and they saidid definitely a threat crime. we$x all need to stand united au work towards making our country better. just sending these nonsensical letters and trying to intimidate percentage it's not going to go far. two days, three days, talk inlk the media and boom, everybody for gets bit. i know we're talking about the letter. >> i got these notes from our neighbors and other people thate have come up and they talk about, you know, how apologetici they are for all the circumstances around us. our hope is that it's merelyy meant to intimidate and nothing further, although unfortunately we've

including an arrest in south carolina just last week and then the terrible shooting out in kansas. we've had desecration of cemeteries. are going beyond speech and are starting to act a that's why we have called on the president and all agencies of the federal government as wellll as law enforcement elevate thist issue to e at appropriate levela and to have a broad task force to respond in every jurisdiction to the problems and to really fight, take this on head on. > and the anti defamation league adding that they've been working in conjunction with the ifb who has been informing them of the progress in the investigation. as these came in starting backta in january with nearly 100 incidents at jewish community centers and tonight still no no arrests linked to these threats, these calls or the letters.te live tonight in montgomery county, marina maracco, fox5 local news turning back to that presidential address tonight, tonight for many it was tune in t

speech. the group vote america now heldd a bipartisan watch party in arlington. that's where we find fox5's5' lindsay watts.lind what was the reaction like there? h. >>reporter: tony, what i love about this group is that there are a lot of different political viewpoints. verall i would say that the reaction ath to this speech has been positive t.siti vote america now is a group that seeks to engage millenials and minorities and we have some high profile people, we have someone who was working on the bernie sanders campaign also working on benicar son's campaign, people who are already engaged have been chatting to the crowd. i want to talk to he list, tell me what did you think about the speech tonight?nigh >> i think his attorneys donald trump's tone was a little bit better. however, i'm still as a citizen very concerned about some of thf things that he's proposing.sing one, where are we going to get the money for in terms of

thank you so much. we're going to walk over here. you can see that there's still a lot of people that are at this party anal ex, you were the biggest trump support inner this crowd. you were applauding throughoutgu the night.ht. tell me what was your favoriteor moment of the speech?eech >> well, first of all, i was most impressed to see our -- the young man that lost his life in defense of our country, ryan over in yemin. >> his wife was there. his wife and a standing ohandi investigation from both sides oe the aisle, like the presidentdet said, a record, right? we oh him a lot as well as her. so i was really pleased aboutas that.

unity aspect of this tonight? >> totally.>> i was hopeful that the presidend would try to bring the countryry together and he was extremely presidential. he didn't go off script as sometimes he does. to see both sides trying to rally together, he said we're one country. we have to pull together. we have differences, but we all -- we're lower than god andd we have to come together as a country because really without us coming together it would beud very difficult for him to be successful and i think alll americans want to see this guyy successful even if they disagree with him because we're all in in this together. one america. >> one america.ri you can see peaking over in this room there are some peoplele sitting in here. there is quite a large watch party. steven, i want to come to you, your reaction to the speech tonight? >> i thought the speech today was a caracature of an image that we know not of in america much the president's

today also written powerfullyri was nottt indicative of what wee have seen across this countryry for the last 30 daze. what we've seen across this country is a president that has acted and engaged the american public in a level of devisive in and be able to have this rhetoric or tone of county, butt not followed up or backed up by any policy transformation off things, to be able to move this ageneral did or this vision that he moves forward i thought it was a forest tonight. i'm going to make sure of where this president tans as we look forward to n the next days of the administering. a thank you so much. one thing i liked was all of the reactions from people inin congress.cong we've been showing some video of people watching here tonight and looking around the room i saw the same sort of faces, people applauding and then people looking surprised, not so impressed. so i think this room was representative of what we were watching on tv. it's been a great night here

we will toss is back to you in the studio now. very much, lindsay. it is certainly interesting toei hear the reaction of people. we want to hear reaction from lawmakers on the hill. tom fitzgerald joins us livens u with the very latest? what are they saying? how are they reacting from the speech.rom >>reporter: i'll tell you, this is not what anybody has expected. for the past five weeks we havee watched a combative donald trump. we have watched at times a president donald trump who kindk of went off script for moments. tonight, this was deliveredis w tonight and even the democrats who walked out of there were stark in their mess age. they appreciated what they call this more presidential tone out of president trump tonight. a lot of the highlights we've been telling you about, the president talked about efforts to reform the affordable care act, obamacare, he also talked about a new infrastructure program, a trillion dollars

rebuild roads and bridges of the united states of america.tes at one point there was an emotional moment where up in the gallery the widow of the us navy seal ryan owens was recognized and that applause, emotional applause went on for several long minute ins. but when this was all over i will tell you that a lot of the democrats were turned to thosese original talking points, for their point while the tone might have been different the message was the same as they've beeny've hearing from the republicans. first out of the gait we're going to bring you the leader or a loft the democrats in the house.e he said tonight there was not a lot of points that democrats ca work with. he made large promises during p the course of the campaign, but with very little detail on how to accomplish that. he was very expansive in promising things that i think we would all like to ac

more jobs for americans, a good classroom and teacher for every student. safe streets. we've all worked towards those objectives, but it's tough. > one of the other things people were saying as they walked out of the speech tonighh was that they were struck not only by the tone of this, but the expansive amount of promises that were made throughout this speech. there were many applause linesns that were designed to bring democrats to their feet as well. there was a lot of questioning as to whether or not democrats would speak out or talk, depending on how the speech went. we saw none of that this evening. senator been carter of maryland told us that was not by accident. even though some democrats boy cotted the inauguration, they were here tonight to hear what this president had to say. listen to senator car den talk about how they are trying to

versus what the president is actually promising.sing when he mentions his infrastructure t, rebuildinguild america, that was very exciting to awful us.to we all agree he on that. but understand the package he put it into. he put it into we have to reduce the deficit and tax cuts ands more spending for infrastructuru and defense, it doesn't add up. but yes we hope he would can work with him to rebuildingbu america. i hope there are areas we can work together but i don't think tonight's speech helped in thath that regard. hth what's remarkable about that is for years we have been hearing republicans come out of speeches just like this saying that they want to know how presidential propositions were going to be paid for. that has flipped now.w. democrats tonight asking that question because they like allke of these proposals as far as infrastructure spending they just don't know how any of thisf is going

especially when we're talking about massive tax cuts and massive tax restructuring.tr that's it for now here at the capital. i know that you are working to get p more reaction from law r makers, but letea me ask youk briefly if you can help some of our viewers understand. we saw democratic women inside the chamber tonight who were wearing all white. can you explain that?at? >> well, there were a number of people in the galleries tonighth shawn.t, as you know, the gallery haslery turned kind of into an area of almost side recourse protest.t. there were a number of people in the gallery tonight that werere there to express displeasure from the democratic side that the president was aspousing.sing one of the surprises tonight wah this victim's immigration crimer force that the president talked about tonight. at one point we actually heard gasps coming from the democratic side of the audience. many of the people who came hera from the

brought these guests in and the reason was this, they wanted a visual opposition to what the president was saying here tonight and to try to get people on television. tom fitzgerald, if you come back tonight, let us know when you have something else. if some of you were watching tonight and noticed that some of the democratic women wereic wearing white it w was sort of their symbolism to stand up for women's rights and a reminder t the women's suv rage movement. former kentucky governor steve bishear gave the democrat's response to the speech tonight.t one of his major talking pointss was healthcare. >> you and your republican allies in congress seemed determined to rip affordable health insurance away from millions of americans who mostcs need it. does the affordable care act need some repairs, sure it does. but so far every republican idea to replace the affordable care act would reduce the number

americans covered despite your promises to the contrary.trar bee sure also challenged the president's plans on immigration and national security.on he went ontoal say he did not believe the president's actions matched many of the promises tos support working class americans. > outside, despite the pouring rain, hundreds of people gathered outside the white house to protest the president's policies. they called it a resistance rally. take a listen. builting profits before people. so we're out in the rain because this massive -- several groups protested in the demonstration,a including members of labor, civil rights and environmental organization. also, comedian rosie o'donnell was among those who were demonstrating. this is how our government works. this is what our governmenter does. we've never had an issue likeue this.this what's your message to

republicans in congress. >> country before parting. > o'donnell and others said the president's policies do not reflect american valleys and they will continue to oppose president trump at every turn. > meanwhile thement's pick to oversee the nation's intelligence operations had his confirmation today.conf dan coats isir the president's nominee for director of national intelligence. during his hearing, the formerme republican senator made it clear that vladimir putin's russia iss a deepening threat. coats also said russia definitely tried to influence the 2016 campaigns.aign well, the search continues tonight for the culprits who vandalized howard university's campus. walls and sidewalks were defaced with messages reading welcome t the trump plantation over sear wayne ai frederick. frederick is howard university's president. another message said stand for something or fall for anything. vandalism comes just one day after president trum
