are awaiting president trump to take the stage at the annual nra meeting in atlanta. we will carry it live. and we will have full analysis of that along with how the president is doing on day 99 today with former white house press secretary ari fleischer. "america's newsroom hq" at the top of the hour. >> jon: fox news alert, there is wayne lapierre, the president, ceo of the national rifle association. he is speaking to the leadership convention. the next believe, is going to be the president himself, president trump will be the first sitting president in 34 years to address the group. ronald reagan did so in 1983. interesting, we just noted, it was a couple years after he was shot by the deranged gunman john hinckley junior who was trying to impress the actress jodie foster. that is when reagan spoke. donald trump will be speaking shortly, and when he does so, we will take you there live. >> jenna: after years of decline, the u.s. steel industry is surging and jobs seem to be coming back, many in the industry credit the president's america first strategy for this. m

president trump in the building, we're told, by the way, in atlanta. when he starts his speech, we'll certainly go to it. michael, i want to real quickly talk about the first 100 days. this is president trump in an interview talking about the difficulties of this job. here's part of what he said. >> i loved my previous life. i had so many things going. i -- i actually, this is more work than in my previous life. i thought it would be easier. >> really? really, michael? he thought it would be easier? >> well, he really has given every sign that that's true. he gave an interview to the "new york times" just after the election where he said, you know, it would be quite easy for me to run the country perfectly. he's now realizing what a 24-hour-a-day backbreaking job this is. john kennedy said the problems are more difficult than i imagine them to be. kennedy had been in public life at that point for 14 years. so donald trump never having held political office, probably not a surprise. >> from an objective standpoint here, mr. beslos, when you look at this

of atlanta and explosions happened and all the rest. but anyway, he didn't destroy everything, despite what "gone with the wind" has to say. there you have "gone with the wind." nor, as legend would have it, sherman did not burn every home between atlanta and the ocean. it simply didn't happen. he did, however, march through georgia. and he arrived at savannah on december 21st. and from there, he sent a message to lincoln. quote, i beg to present to you as a christmas gift the city of savannah. all kinds of newspapers talked about our union santa claus. so as was the case with hood in atlanta, sherman now had to deal with confederate general william hardee. but again, he refused to cut off his escape. rather, he consciously specifically left open an exit so hardee could get away and sherman would not have to fight him in the trenches. when sherman's army entered savannah, sherman's soldiers were on their best behavior. where previously they had taken or destroyed anything they wanted, now they paid for everything they took. well, what h

association's convention in atlanta. it's an effort to reenergize has conservative base no. doubt about that. he'll be speaking in atlanta. soon we'll have live coverage of that once it begins. in the meantime, the white house says it's not to blame for failing to improperly vet its former national security adviser, retired lieutenant general michael flynn. instead it's blaming the obama administration saying it was the president's -- former president's administration that approved flynn's security clearances. renewed those security clearances in 2016. general flynn was pressured to resign for lying to the vice president about his conversations with the russian diplomat. now the pentagon's inspector general has opened an investigation into flynn for apparently failing to disclose payments he had received from a russian television station. those payments were for an event that included dinner with the russian president vladimir putin back in 2015. i want to get reaction to all these late breaking dwevelopmens with one of

let's get right to atlanta this evening with the latest. so this special election, hotly contested, closely watched. you're at the headquarters, bring us up-to-date. >> well, don, i can tell you sources in both parties are expecting this to go to a run off on june 20th. do not expect os off to win this seat tonight if he we to do that would need more than 50% of the vote and right now 77% of the presinchts reporting he's at 50.3% of the vote clinging to that 50% threshold. >> second place has deep relationships as well. she's expected to do well as more of the vote comes in. especially from today. so right now, i can tell you, here at ossoff headquarters people are energized they can see on the big screen behind us. but there's also a sense of concern that perhaps will not get that 50% margin and there will be that run off on june 20th. and when is that happens this is going to be a much different race. republicans can unite. with one candidate. and democratic money will flood in as they are trying to flip the script. >> what are they chant

president trump there in atlanta, georgia. the president ending with a bit of a history lesson, starting with, perhaps, a predictable reflection on election night, once again reminding the folks in that room that he was the only candidate to address that group a year ago. also take them back to election night in michigan and iowa and how he defied the odds. it has become a familiar theme. president trump there embracing one of his sons there, also wayne lapierre we just saw as well. president donald trump going from there to a fundraiser for karen handle who also got a shoutout, handle, of course, in that runoff election down in the atlanta suburb, run to go replace the president's health and human services secretary tom price, saying that she's opposing the democratic nominee. mr. ossoff was big on open borders and crime. the first sitting president to address the national rifle association in -- since 1983. shannon watts is the founder of moms demand action for gun sense in america. rick tyler, msnbc political analyst. also
