Bret Baier: ‘This Is the President’s First Oval Office Address and with This Venue Comes a Great Deal of Gravitas’

‘It hasn’t been used a lot in recent years’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BAIER: “A lot is at stake, Sean, this is the president’s first oval Office address and with this venue comes a great deal of gravitas. You have think about the big moments in U.S. History. The big speeches delivered behind the resolute desk. It hasn’t been used a lot in recent years, president Obama only used it three times if you remember. The oil spill in the gulf. The end of combat operations in Iraq and counter-terrorism the way forward that’s how president Obama used it now president Trump is using it to make the case this common sense pitch about the crisis on the border and why he thinks it should be negotiated with the Democrats to get the money for his wall question is whether he will make a declaration a national emergency doesn’t look like it tonight he will hold it in his back pocket and say it tonight.”
