first during his state of the union in 1964, lyndonjohnson first proposed legislation that would come of welfare programmes. and this administration today here and now declares unconditional war on poverty in america. mr speaker... the president of the united states. applause one of the united states. applause one of the united states. applause one of the most memorable phrases ever uttered in the state of the union came in president george w bush's 2002 address, which warned iran, iraq and north korea threatened the peace of the world. it marked the birth of the controversial war on terror. states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. tonight's speech, a statement of purpose, is likely to e mr trump's defiant and uncompromising inaugural address. a promise to put america first and to transfer power back to the people watching. memorable stuff! you have been watching newsday. let's show you the live scene at the white house, there is the president's car, the beast, waiting for donald trump at the white house to ta k
