    12:30 p.m. Mr. Trump is set to deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress tonight around 9 p.m. ET from the U.S. Capitol. CBS News has confirmed that first lady Melania Trump will attend the address.

    The president sat down for an interview with Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” which aired in the morning, to preview his address. He told them, “All I can do is speak from the heart and say what I want to do,” and he said he’d be talking about his plans for health care, the military, and the border, among other things.

    It’s unclear who the designated survivor will be -- the member of Mr. Trump’s cabinet who will sit out the address in case of an attack on the Capitol. Here’s a history of the designated survivor.

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, will bring an Iraqi refugee as a guest to the event and House Democratic women are planning to wear white to the address, which they said is the official color of the suffragette movement.

    “We wear white to unite against any attempts by the Trump Administration to roll back the incredible progress women have made in the last century, and we will continue to support the advancement of all women. We will not go back,” Rep. Lois Frankel, chairwoman of the Democratic Women’s Working Group, said in a statement.

    I won't be watching. Don't need to. I already know what the state of the union is.

    This is not a state of the union address.

    This is a North Korea is our greatest threat so we need to increase defense spending by $50 billion so we can go to war with them address.

    I didn't hear anything that I disagreed with, BUT....and it's a BIG "but".....I would have liked to have heard more details on how he's going to accomplish these things.

    They sound nice. Now let's see what happens this year. Talk is cheap; action is what counts.

    It absolutely baffles me that people want a State Department after Hillary's corruption. Haven't we learned our lesson yet?

    Jesus man....

    I didn't mean to imply that we should do away with it altogether. Obviously, it does play a role.

    BUT....we should be VERY weary of it after the last Administration's corruption in the State Department.

    I thought it was a very presidential address. He was composed and spoke well, now I hope he backs it up.
