President Trump is set to give his first ever prime time address from the Oval Office amid the partial government shutdown.
On Twitter Monday, the president confirmed he will outline — what he calls — the “humanitarian and national security crisis” on the southern border, during a speech Tuesday night.
I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2019
Last week the president told reporters he is considering declaring a national emergency to fund a border wall.
One America News will have full and commercial free coverage of the president’s address Tuesday night starting at 9PM Eastern Time and 6PM Pacific Time.
Many of President Trump’s supporters have been calling for him to address the nation on the subject of the border for some time. They believe that the President can rally the country if he is able to explain the situation to the American people in a similar fashion as Ronald Reagan did on occasion. Keeping the borders safe and secure is the responsibility of the federal government as written in The Constitution.
