  Speaker 3: we should point out John took us behind the scenes here.

• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Aware of his handling of the economy in terms of
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the American people that they can look at the stock market,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: but they also can look at their grocery bills and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: recognize that they're not feeling this quite yet. You can
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: see the very warm welcome that he's getting from his
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Republican colleagues there in the chamber. Let's go right to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Rachel Scott, who's also in the chamber tonight, and Rachel,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: what do you make.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Of what you see so far?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And are their empty seats as had been predicted by
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: many of the Democrats who said they might sit this
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: one out.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Well, David, I've covered several State of the Unions from
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: this very seat up here in the gallery in the
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: House Chamber. There are far fewer Democrats tonight than there
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: have been in years past. And David, what is notable
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: right now as I'm watching the president look at this
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Al Green, Congressman Al Green holding up a sign. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: believe I'm looking at it right now. It said something
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: in reference to apes. Black people are not apes, in
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: reference to that post that the President I had on
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: his social media account, a racist post that was offensive,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: that clearly a sign of protest. There also notable as
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: the President's making his way down toward the Supreme Court justices,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: David is some Democrats didn't even bother to turn around
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: as the President entered the House Chamber tonight, and Democratic
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: leadership notably how Keen Jeffries was seated.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: We just saw the President obviously shake the Chief Justice's hand.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: There is Justice Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Cony Barrett.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Of course he chose Amy Cony Barrett for the bench.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: She was one of the justices who.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Did not vote in his favor and did not shake
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: her hand there, did interact with the Chief Justice, then
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: with none of the other justices, and John carl this
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: was a question for the President today.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Obviously didn't want to go on.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The record, didn't offer any answer to us, but it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was clear to us at the White House that he
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: didn't quite know how he was going to handle the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: justices when.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He got there tonight.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting that shake, very quick shake with John Roberts,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and in going right by Amy Connel Barrett, who he
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: put on the court.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Of course he should point out Chief Justice John Roberts
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: instrumental in that decision as well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He wrote the decision choosing to interact only with the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Chief Justice.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But Trump felt particularly betrayed by the justices that he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: put on the court ruled against Neil Gorsicch.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Included in that though Neil Gorsicch, Justice Gorsicch not there
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: this evening, along with the other justices who are not there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: By the way, the four justices who did come for
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: tonight's State of the Union know the same four who
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: were here a year ago for the joint addressed to Congress.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Mary Bruce.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: This President knows this is a critical mid term election year,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and that the republic Kids hold very slim majorities in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: both the House and the Center.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: David tonight is the president's best chance to defend his
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: first year back and try to sway skeptical voters to
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: back Republicans in the upcoming mid terms. He needs to
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: convince Americans that he has laser focused on that issue
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: that is top of mind for them, the cost of living.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: He's going to argue his policies are working, but as
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: we know, the polls show so many Americans simply aren't
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: feeling that. In their wallets. Fifty seven percent disapprove of
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: his handling of the economy. And of course, as we've
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: been discussing, this comes just four days now after the
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Court delivered that devastating blow right to the heart of
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: his economic agenda by invalidating most of his sweeping tariffs.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: This term affordability really gets under his skin. He has said,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: on the one hand, I've won on affordability, and on
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the other says, this affordability crisis was created by my predecessor.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So it'll be curious to see how he tackles affordability
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and what the American people are feeling at the grocery store,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: in costs of utilities and housing and what have you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to point your attention at home, members.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Of Congress that have the high privilege and distinct honor
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of presenting to you the President of the United States.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: There you have at the Speaker of the House, with
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: George Washington's gabble tonight introducing President Trump.

• 5:35
