>> i don't agree with chris stirewalt all the time but i do agree with him with this.he reason being -- >> sandra: how dare you. [laughter] >> when you listen to the mainstream media, it was like you were watching them try to psychoanalyze donald trump 'a statement. they couldn't believe that president trump would go so far as to call them the enemy. but what was so fascinating was the fact that that liberal media elites obviously did not follow the trump supporters, the social media, where i even remotely mentioned, why not call it an opponent rather than an enemy. they came out full force saying, "they are the enemy, it is very clear that they are pushing a leftist agenda, they have been against donald trump in the beginning, and guess what, they like the combative style." >> sandra: let see how they are reacting and some of these latest fox news poles that are showing up. some of the numbers are very telling. those that trust a donald trump, the president versus reporters, 45% to 42%. that is a very telling figure, compared to obama. the treatment that this presiden

big heart, chris stirewalt. now to president trump's promise to have a new executive order on travel and immigration which he says will be released sometime this week. ththe rollout led to self lawsus and the 9th district federal court halted the so-called ban. the president vowed to keep fighting for his ban and now it's getting a rewrite. the new version will reportedly have an exemption for green cardholders and visa holders. let's ask the panel. jess tatar love, senior director at buckle.com. jimmy failla. and jimmy foster. >> this is like being on garfield minus gar if hefield. dagen: this executive order, they are changing a number of different thing. the rollout will be less chaotic. so 14 days after president trump signs the document. >> we'll have to wait and see. the truth of the matter is the president has a great deal of latitude on matters related to immigration. dagen: called the constitution. >> my you significant is they will probably structure this in a way that is better. i think this is probab

chris stirewalt, charlie hurt, and jessica tarlov, thank you to all of you.heard quite a bit of that last night. we ask from so many questions about president trump and immigration. they kept bubbling up, chris and to sing, we are happy with him. we are thrilled with him. we are not thrilled with the folks on capitol hill that promised us things like tax reform and repeal and replace. >> would you live in a culture where you wanted now, now, now, when you tell somebody, we need 100 or 200 days to do something, it sounds like an eternity. the problem that the republicans on the on the hill are facing, they want to accommodate for president. they are afraid that they might challenge them in primaries. they want to give him what he wants. if the administration is trying to figure out what it does want on things like obamacare. the president is right when he says his tax plan is ready to go. getting the other pieces in place in advance, the hill wants to accommodate him, he has to start calling the plays. to be when they are pretty impatient and they look at pres

today, joining me now, chris stirewalt, charles hurt, and fox news contributor, and julie roginsky, a fox news contributor. welcome all. good to have you here tonight. so, i'm sure you had your popcorn out this afternoon and enjoyed all 78 minutes or so of that. what did you think? >> i kept writing, then, rewrite, then, tear it up, then, right again. the truth is, donald trump, if it was his gut that told him to have a press conference, his gut was quite right. the only thing, the only thing, the only group of people in the world who are more obsessed with the press then donald trump is the press themselves. by going out there and pummeling, humiliating -- it was like pro wrestling smack down, cnn, bbc, he was right when he said, tomorrow they are going to say, "donald trump ranted and raved." he was writing their headlines for them. it got him off of a bunch of stories that was bad for his administration i got the press talking about what they like to talk about most, themselves. >> martha: charles, i think he has a two pronged approach to get back in touch with the people. i think

here with more, chris stirewalt, jessica tarr love, and senior director of research at brussel.com. rcedes schlapp, former spokesperson for president george w. bush. chris, let me start with you. everybody is paying some of attention to michael flynn, they may have missed this battle, which they will be paying a lot of attention to. >> a gigantic hippopotamus that swims up for the bottom of the pond. the thing is, republicans are debating, went to repeal it, and when to replace it, with all of this stuff. they are dithering around talking about this. the reality is, the law is falling apart under their feet and under the feet of the country brady assigned major insurer is dropping out of the pool. they want participate. a new chief who is very determined that he is going to blow this thing out of the water. the republicans are having an academic discussion right now. they want to do it on their terms, they got to do it sooner rather than later or they will pay a heinous price with voters next year. >> martha: so true. i remember when president trump said, i thought about letting this

. >> bill: let's get analysis by chris stirewalt. good morning to you. let's first talk about the speech coming up in 55 minutes. sean spicer previewed it yesterday when he said there will be essentially paraphrasing a heavy emphasis on safety and security among other things. that's where we start. >> go with what you know. and start with the area of commonality and remember, this crowd isn't exactly donald trump crowd. as john and shannon were talking about. a year ago he was not their favorite. and that's because donald trump isn't a conservative in the traditional sense but on the issues of national security, border security, immigration, he and conservatives line up very well. this is where you start. you start with that common area, which is defense and security. then you hope you can expand from there. >> bill: by my count it's the fifth time he has addressed cpac? this will be number five? i expect a reception to be a bit of a rock star performance so far today. >> he is the president. any time -- i suspect if barack obama had showed up that -- an

chris stirewalt, foxnewspolitics.com editor.  suspect that the media, chris.l in love with mr. trudeau from canada and show their contempt for president trump of america. what say you? >> well, probably, or at least some will. certainly trudeau is, the heartthrob liberal politician and there has been plenty of swooning for him in the past but i would say this, in addition, both trump and trudeau need for this to go well. they both need for this to be a successful meeting, and they need for this to reinforce what is arguably the single-most important alliance that the united states has, our most important trading partner, and right next door. so, they both want this to go well because trudeau has problems back home in the sense as you pointed out, he is uber liberal in a country may not be fully comfortable with what his policies are. stuart: really? that's interesting. i didn't realize he had a problem with domestic politics being too liberal himself. i did not know that. i want to talk about the market going straight up this morning. the dow is 2,000 points a

chris stirewalt joins us now, fox news politics editor.s, which we will get to shortly -- [laughter] what do you think, what do you think the president's best approach is? should he outreach to the other side? should he bang heads amongst the republicans and say, come on, get it together, for heavens sake? what should he say? >> well, we need for the president -- congress needs, everybody needs, the country needs to know what the president wants. everybody wants growth. everybody wants jobs. everody wants wages to go up. what made reagan's speech is a perfect parallel point in history. ronald reagan in that same speech said i have a four-point agenda, and it related to controlling federal spending, it related to dealing with the tight currency policies in order to try to get the economy going, it dealt with most of all tax cuts. and that's what -- and he included defense spending as part of the piece, but it was tax cuts. and he gave every member of congress that night the four-point agenda with the details on what the reagan plan was. stu

. >> shannon: let's bring in digital politics editor chris stirewalt and charlie hurt. welcome to you, gentlemen. >> bill: you did a great job with this, by the way. shannon tried to take credit. i'm giving it to the -- what do you expect tonight, charlie? >> one of those things where donald trump usually shines pretty well. the stakes are pretty high. he will be talking as he often does over the heads of the media directly to the american people and he does a very good job of that. the big thing will be how he is working the crowd, the audience of congress. because he does have not only a divided congress but he has even people in his own party who aren't completely on board with him. they may like the additional defense spending but want to get into entitlement stuff and it will be the beginnings of a negotiation. and i think a very healthy and open one that could wind up producing some good results. >> bill: there is a column in that answer somewhere, the beginning of a negotiation. >> shannon: chris, the president gave him some grades with our folks on "fox & friend

we pass the ball to chris stirewalt, our own tailback. maybe a full back. good morning to you. let's discuss. in turn you say congress is waiting to take its cue from the president. explain that. >> you come out of huddle, that's great. congress wants him to call the play. when you have a president who has a gift for correcting members of his own party as donald trump does, they don't want to get out of sync with him. they don't want to be running a play he doesn't want for fear a tweet or he will lash out at them and they'll find themselves in trouble in a primary. they want to know what he wants and they want to go execute it. paul ryan has been working very, very hard with trump and with his cabinet secretaries who are just now coming into place to figure out what is it that the administration wants in policy particulars. >> bill: we aren't even at the speech yet. yet if you listen to kellyanne conway. she is not the only one now. earlier today on fox even the president referred to this in the first hours of his administration when he talked about the long game. >> i'm focus

. >> shannon: let's bring in chris stirewalt.hen you hear something like senator orrin hatch using words like crap. those are fighting words. he is fired up. >> for people beyond this zip code to understand the enormity, the ranking dude. for him to say -- first of all, for the democrats to boycott these hearings was if not whole unprecedented, a massive departure from the norm. they felt they had the political cover to do it because of the outrage over trump's restrictions whether we're calling it a ban or not. the ban not ban on refugees, and people from those seven countries. democrats thought they had the leeway to pull what hatch called a stunt. hatch called their bluff and said he was going to do it. now, what is the repercussion and the reprisal from democrats when you are in this era of shifting norms that we are right now? you wonder is there going to be a counter volley from the democrats? >> shannon: they are so many battles still going on. this afternoon we have the vote on the senate floor for rex tillerson, a suprem

chris stirewalt joins me now. this is how we'll do it for the next four years. >> jeff sessions ought to send a fruit basket to elizabeth warren. the good one they dip in the chocolate. it is so good. he ought to send it to her because it not only probably got him votes but it probably got votes for judge gorsuch, the supreme court nominee of president trump because when you engage in conduct like this, it's small, less than, you take away from legitimate arguments on your own side. that's what she did. look, she is running for reelection, we understand the cynical motivations she has in so doing. but she is hurting her party as she does it because she is helping republicans and she is putting waivering democrats on the griddle as they say i don't want to be like that. >> melissa: tell me the truth because you are a walking political encyclopedia. had you heard of rule 19 before or were you like elizabeth warren when she said what? >> i didn't know its number but she knew its contents. and she is a smart human and

. >> bill: fox news will have the politics editor chris stirewalt here.ll wait for oral arguments and see how long it takes and maybe an order later today, tomorrow or maybe it takes some time. the legal precedents that you are weighing now is what. >> basically it's like this. there is arguments being made that includes john kerry and other democratic office holders pronouncing this is a bad policy. well, who cares, right? it doesn't matter because i'm sure they think whatever donald trump does is bad policy and it's not legal precedent. it is not legally consequential. this is from the tech companies arguments relating to people who hold green cards. the fight here is about how much power does the president have? can he take somebody who is a permanent resident of the united states that has a green card that has been through the process, can he deny them entry to the united states? that's why the tech companies are concerned. they aren't recruiting out of yemen now but interested in the question of how much authority does the president have? >> bill: ho

joining me is chris stirewalt. i think this is a standoff.e top money politicians, senate finance committee, house ways and means committee, and the president of the united states. the president wants these tax cuts. he will press for congress people to explain, why don't we have a plan in place now? >> everybody there wants tax cuts. there is no question by the. but the what and the how continue in the devil as it does on obamacare. taxes are a piece of that, too. one of the big -- greatest appeals inside the repeal is that you get to bring back that increase on top incomes right off the bat. you get that cut. these are all tied together. this all in the piece. and neither side wants to go first. the white house doesn't want to put down its plan first and neither does congress? stuart: is it that simple, neither side wants to go first? can it be there are several plans and congress can't decide what they want. >> they would like the white house to say -- once mick mulvaney is confirmed, that will advance their ball. they would like the white
