i am not a trump democrat. i started as a humphrey, mcgovern, even carter democrat. and i have seen a change on both sides. and i have seen the democrats ago to special interests -- go. . to special interests and i have seen the republicans become the populists. and i liked reagan, but i worked for clinton, just to drop the background. anyway, i think that was a great speech. i cannot believe it was that long. it seemed to zip by. i think the democrats did themselves and the country a disservice by being so rude and sitting on their hands. as ms. slotkin, who steams to be like a jackson democrat, you have to have a country where there is compromise, where there is discussion. and i am very hopeful. and you know, obviously, i am old, i have seen a lot. peter: what's the issue? is there a particular issue that made you what you call a trump democrat? caller: i think the most important issue was immigration. because trump proved the lie of the democrats and he mentioned it briefly. you know, the immigration system did not need a law, didn't need, it just needed to be im

i hope of many democrats, and i know some democrats who texted me. >> where's the democrats? national pride. we're celebrating america's 250th birthday in a couple of years. while trump's president, you know he's going to go big. are the democrats going to make a scene at the birthday party because it's looking like they will? biden said he ran for president to restore the soul of the nation. so where are the democrats soul go? tip o'neill worked with reagan. gingrich worked with clinton. why can't democrats work with trump? or at least clap for the country? last night it struck me the democrat party is mentally ill. i'm always playing armchair psychiatrist. they're just sick in the head. we've been covering this party struggle to figure out why they lost in november, and they still haven't figured it out. i don't even think they've hit rock bottom. trump's just turned these politicians into a bunch of protesters. they don't look like a political party. they look like codepink. and if they can't acknowledge the problem, they can't fix it. trump swept the swing states with hal

that was a democrat. republicans and democrats have all talked about it but nobody really took the courage to do it. my point is, i'm not a fan of president trump. i think he is a mixed bag of inconsistency. there are some things i think he is bringing out that will be consequential to us as americans, both positive and negative. all i'm going to say is, america, we put them in there. be careful what you ask for because you might just get it. host: again, we have 20 minutes left of your calls before we go to the house of representatives. we will stop and visit with john mcardle. host: an update on congressman al green, democrat from texas who stood up at the beginning of the speech last night and shouted out his protest, refused to stop when asked to do so by the speaker and was removed. this coming this morning from the official twitter page, x page of the house freedom caucus, the conservative branch of the house republican caucus. the house freedom caucus will be introducing an official censure resolut

it turns out the democrats are.ld up little signs like they were at a cattle auction which made no sense, the cast of the view was nowhere in sight. trump claimed there was nothing he could do to cheer him up. >> once again i look at the democrats in front of me. and i realize there is absolutely nothing i can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud. nothing i can do. >> greg: and he proved that point. never once applauded even for good things. also given their ages, maybe they were worried clapping would turn off the lights. and when the time came, they couldn't even stand for a 13-year-old kid with cancer who made -- who trump made a secret service agent. keep these guys away from the make-a-wish foundation. they will tell the sickkids to get their affairs in order. trump proved his point that democrats hate good things if it politically makes them look worse. it has to be we're going to bed every night hoping for bad things to happen to good people. trump then read off a list of incredibl

new democrats, congressional caucus democrats, the two biggest ideological caucuses have put out a joint letter. that includes 100% of our members from our two coalitions saying we will not vote to cut your medicare, medicaid and social security. over 200 house democrats showed in a matter of days we are united with the american people in this fight. while we may not all agree on every single issue, we are saying with one voice, hands off medicare, hands off medicaid, and hands off of americans social security. the question becomes will any three house republicans do the right thing and act like u.s. representatives instead of like trump employees and join us? because of three congressional house republicans joined together with the democrats to do the right thing there will be no social security cuts. we could prevent cuts to medicaid and medicare and social security. but if house republicans choose unanimously to come after social security and medicaid and medicare, they will own the terrible consequences for working people. thank you. i would like to hand this over to my partner, the

it signals to democrats the moderates the representation who and what it is to be a democrat. an interesting choice in that sense. the democrat problem remains that their energy remains with the left wing base that is out of touch with america. the guys compete against girls in sports space. that's the problem they have. it is a good choice to signal being a different party but they are still the same party. that's the problem. >> harris: is it better for them not to come rather than show up in front of the public and try to get in trump's way at this point as he is giving his message? >> i think it would be a tragic mistake for the democrats to boycott president trump's speech to congress. you can't complain that donald trump violates the norms and you go out and double down and violate more norms. what's refreshing about american politics today unlike 2017 where it was all about he is an el -- now we are fighting over policies. this is the way america should be built. let the democrats go be respectful, listen to the president of the united states and make their policy case

hakeem jeffries is the democratic leader. if he sent out a letter i would pay attention. >> so his strategies are investigations, litigation, legislation and protesting. guest: leader jeffrey sent a dear colleague letter last week enumerating 10 ways to respond but the main ones are legislating and using leverage. mid-march is a very important juncture where democrats apply leverage. excuse me, republicans control the house and senate, elon musk is shutting down the government so if there is a total shutdown it would be because of republican failure to get members in line to fund the government. imagine four years ago if we had shut down the government, no one would be saying it's because of republicans. if they can't do basic functions of government i think the other part of the strategy, legislation is one. number two is litigation and so far the court orders whether a republican or democrat unanimously trump wins in the courts. the final piece is globalization. it's very important that those who are concerned about what is

the play was, let's all -- let's list all the good stuff and let the democrats be democrats.n walk the plank or they can read the room and change with the tide. either way it's a win win for trump. they agree with him or they look like idiots because they don't. the democrats, they chose evil by not cheering good things. if trump had released, you know, a flock of peaceful dogs, they would have tried to shoot them because they hate him. last thing i will say, when i was watching this, i felt like i was watching a movie, the climax of a movie where the hero wins, whether it's rocky or harry potter. they always show the bad guys. the bad guys just look terrible. the reason why they look so bad is not that they've lost and that goodness prevailed, it's the recognition that they are the bad guy in this movie. that the realization is that maybe their authentic self is really, really bad. if you had the choice to cheer for a kid with cancer and you did not, you might want to question who you are. >> at that point, how do you lose your heart and joy for living, how do you lose all c

within the house democratic caucus. but really how to respond here? there's the democratic leaders don't want their members to engage in any sort of outbursts. but there are progressive democrats who actually are weighing whether to mount a protest, whether they actually to to raise signs on the house floor. they're talking about things like holding up signs saying you lie or lying or true or false, and bringing in egg cartons to show the price of eggs. the skyrocketing price of eggs. that is something that the democratic leaders absolutely do not want. in fact, hakeem jeffries counseled his members. he said no signs, no props, nothing like that. that happened in a closed door meeting earlier today. but we're told about me and my colleague sarah ferris telling us, say, that one congressman, mark pocan of wisconsin, progressive democrats, said, quote, i'm effing. he was channeling the anger. he later told me of his constituents. they want to show that they are fighting donald trump, and they want to do that on the floor

lesson to what the democrats are saying. instead of showing empathy, they are siding with and protecting criminals, violent, illegal alien criminals. meanwhile, republicans actually stand with the victims. we actually stand for league. we actually stand for law and order. what about the american people's safe spaces? do they count? house republicans will hold these mayors accountable. refusing to cooperate with immigration law puts communities and americans in danger. but it doesn't stop there. even in the u.s. house of representatives, deranged democrats hold brieflies and post videos on house to avoid ice. that's pretty american, huh? they are literally helping criminal illegal immigrants. this is the result of having no vision for the american people. but i'm here to share with you, americans can be optimistic, because real leadership returned to the white house. leadershipthat our country desperately needs, the leadership 77 million americans voted for. together president trump and house republicans will stop sanctuary c

notice every democrat voted note last week which means democrats voted to put a tax on over 99% of familiese less than $1 million for them to equip millionaires and billionaires the people that would be hurt by democrat actions are people that make well under a million dollars president trump is trying to limit the tax on tips which by the way we support them will be in our package. the average salary of tip workers who will benefit from president trump's agenda as a family making about $35000 a yearai back that's a benefit frm that provision. they talk about billionaires in elon musk all day long they want to hide the fact it's in middle and lower income families who will benefit from the trump agenda because those are the people who have been devastated the most by the high inflation, high taxes, high cost of living we have seen from the biden agenda. more energy production in americafa. manufacturing more things in america is in our bill and it's going to be in the package that moves through and for some reason every democrat once about no on an agenda that lowers gas prices lowers food

democrats are. and so there's little tim walz is going to be able to say of like having the solution here on out. the political environment change. we'll go through these midterm elections. there will be a competitive primary on probably on both sides of the aisle. and leadership options will emerge for the american people, but they're going to have to like trudge through as democrats this moment in time where republicans control every lever of power in washington. >> walz has no idea what happened last night because he has always been and remains in over his head. he's a fringe partisan. he sees the world through the tired old politics that failed last year. this class warfare message, it doesn't work. look what happened in the speech. 74% of americans said it was presidential, 74% entertaining, 71% inspiring, 62% unifying, 46% said divisive, which was how the democrats wanted to describe it. they don't know what. >> it's going to be skewed, though, right? because it's people that watch the speech.

some of the senate democrats are criticizing the house democrats.what's wrong with the democrats and their messaging? >> how much time do you have? because if we want to blow out commercial breaks, i can answer that question. everything is wrong with democrats and their messaging. the problem with democrats. and i said this right after the election, and i continue to say this, is that there is no message, there is no coherent message that is able to explain in plain english to the american people what the democratic party stands for. and in the absence of having that message, they've disappeared. they've thrown stuff at the wall to see what sticks. i don't know what that was yesterday. i'm glad they all wore pink. i don't think anybody outside the beltway understood what they were trying to do. unless somebody was really tuned in to cnn or other networks to have people explain it to them. um, i don't quite understand why nobody in the democratic party has come together and said, this is what we're doing. we're not focus grouping. every single thing

household with a democrat and a republican, um, winning a district, democrat and republican. but that you wouldn't know that from donald trump's speech tonight. he's not talking democrats and republicans. i'm not going to say what the democrats did tonight was it didn't feel like a cohesive strategy walking out, staying in paddles, whatever. that's not that was not how you land the plane. but i do think she laid out the issues that are important to people, and she told people what to do. i don't think this problem, honestly, in the democratic party is going to be solved in washington, d.c.. it's going to be solved in the in the middle of the country, in the south, where people are going to organize together and tell the party what they want and the direction they want to go. >> let's bring in doug brinkley into our conversation. presidential historian doug, you know, it is unprecedented, not just in the length of the speech that we just watched from the president. now, we, of course, just saw the democratic rebuttal from senator slotkin. but it was it was also that the disarr

i'm a democrat but i'm an american foremost. i hope the president is received well by democrats. elise slotkin the address for the democrats. i believe she will deliver a positive economic message and one that may resonated that voted for president trump. >> dana: and she broke dana perino's rule. >> harold: what did she do? >> dana: always decline. never respond. one thing that president trump has done is executive orders. he will have the congress in front of him to later out his legislative agenda to get this more permanent. >> brian: it would be great for the house. the senate handed two bill approach two weeks ago. so legislation has to happen. harold, if they want to dig in with some real economic progress, they have to do it with legislation. as you said before, about tariffs, they're paying -- taking a toll on the stock market. ho howard ludnick said these tariffs could go away right away. if the tariffs are about drugs, i look at great progress mexico is making. they made 900 arrests. they attacked the cartels. "the new york times" sunday said the cartels are afraid to l

yet one of democrats' biggest schemes is still ongoing.ood receives nearly $2 million every day. besides using our tax dollars to kill a thousand babies a day, planned parenthood is shoveling millions into pacs to elect leaders who hate donald trump. president trump, it's time to stop funneling tax dollars to anti-trump, anti-american planned parenthood. it's time to stop funding our political enemies. this ad was paid for by students for life of america, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. after last month's massive solar flare added a 25th hour to the day, businesses are wondering "what should we do with it?" i'm thinking company wide power nap.

the democrats were. cnn was proven wrong by their own viewers, 69% of whom said they had a positive reaction to the president's speech. it is sad and pathetic that democrats and liberals and the legacy media continue to allow their trip for the president to override their love for our country. we have an individual in our new media see today, the daily wire's first ever white house correspondent. the daily wire was founded 10 years ago by ben schapiro and has over one million paid subscribers. they out of the fifth-largest podcast network in the world. i will take your questions. >> thank you. two questions. i wanted to go back to the disruption. he saw democrat lawmakers not stand. what are the optics of that nationally in terms of not just the people in the room but across the nation? and was president trump expecting this type of behavior when he was crafting his speech? ms. leavitt: i gave a quote yesterday that democrats behaving like children would be the least surprising thing of the night. unfort

and not just democrats. trump goes into tonight's joint address to congress with a bigger disapproval number than approval. and 54% of americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, wrong direction. while those numbers aren't all that far off from what president biden experienced, it's not exactly a resounding endorsement of his agenda, nor the overwhelming mandate president trump and his allies often claim they hold. so let's figure out what he's going to say and how people might experience it. joining us now, nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, nbc news chief capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles and staff writer for the atlantic and nbc news political analyst ashley parker. all right. so, kelly, i'll begin with you. lay the groundwork for this evening. >> well, this is one of the premiere events for any president and for president trump. it's the kind of experience that plays to some of his favorite things about being in office. he'll have a commanding audience of not
