Welcome, folks, to this edition of "The 700 Club."

With all the money and all the hype

and all those Swarovski crystals by the thousands,

the winner was not "La La Land."

No, it wasn't.

And I was telling you, I'd just turned the TV off

when they announced it.

And then I got on Twitter, and I saw that there

was this big mistake.

Isn't that embarrassing?

I mean, poor guy.

I mean he's reading the card they give him,

and it's the fault of the accounting firm.

And they gave him the wrong card.

They gave him the card for the best actress, and he reads it.

All right.

And the biggest award of the night--

how can you not have the right card?

What was the name of the thing?

"Moonlight."

What is it?

Have you heard of it?

I saw the previews, that they--

I haven't seen it yet.

But apparently, it has a message that--

Yeah, well, it's those messages they just--

It used to be they had some good movies,

but now they've kind of lost touch with America.

But nevertheless, they're out there,

and they had the chance to beat up on Trump a little bit.

Well, the Democrats also had their deal,

and it's a tale of two parties.

Conservatives are largely supporting

President Trump's goals for America

and his plans for tax reform and repealing Obamacare.

But many progressive Democrats are

very unhappy with the direction of their party

after this weekend's election for the chairman

of the Democratic National Committee.

Jenna Browder brings us the story from Washington.

JENNA BROWDER: In a divided country

of red and blue states--

Hands off our health care.

JENNA BROWDER: --America's major political parties

are searching for unity.

For Democrats, that responsibility

now falls to Barack Obama's former labor secretary,

Tom Perez.

We need a chair who can not only

take the fight to Donald Trump.

We also need a chair who can lead turnaround and change

the culture of the Democratic Party.

JENNA BROWDER: Following his election,

Perez nominated the man who came in second--

Representative Keith Ellison-- to be his number two.

As the first Muslim to serve in Congress,

Ellison had the support of progressives

like Bernie Sanders.

We got to win elections.

We're in this mess, because we lost not one election,

but 1,000 elections.

JENNA BROWDER: Perez's election led

to a social media battle when President Trump tweeted,

"I could not be happier for him or for the Republican Party,"

Perez responding, "Democrats united across the country

will be your worst nightmare."

Trump also used his favorite platform to announce he

won't be going to this year's White House

correspondents' dinner.

This latest shot in his ongoing battle with the media

speaks right to his base.

And they spoke back at a poll at the annual Conservative

Political Action Conference, or CPAC.

86% said they strongly or somewhat approve of the job

he's doing.

And I am just elated to be here

with a lot of other deplorables.

It's just wonderful.

Absolutely.

Way more exciting this year than last year in terms of we're

going to actually get some things done

we needed to get done the last eight years.

JENNA BROWDER: And the president made clear his plans

to deliver for evangelicals.

And I want to thank, by the way, the evangelical community,

the Christian community, because the support for me

was a record, as you know, not only

in terms of numbers of people, but percentages

of those numbers that voted for Trump.

So I want to thank you folks.

It was amazing, an amazing outpouring.

And I will not disappoint you.

JENNA BROWDER: The question now--

can he keep his promises he's made on topics like Obamacare,

border security, and taxes?

Ted Cruz tells CBN News he likes what he sees so far.

Listen, I think the first month on substance and policy

has been very, very strong.

JENNA BROWDER: Trump is going to need the support of lawmakers

like Cruz and conservatives from all

walks of the Republican Party if he wants

to push his agenda through.

Conservatives may unite behind Trump,

but the tougher audience comes Tuesday

when the president addresses a joint session of Congress.

That's where bringing the divided country

together gets a whole lot harder.

In Washington, Jenna Browder, CBN News.

Thanks, Jenna.

Our CBN News political correspondent, David Brody,

is with us now.

Trump got an A plus from the CPAC.

The conservatives in Congress-- are they going to hold steady,

you think?

Is Congress going to break?

Well, Pat, they're holding steady for now,

but we've got a ways to go.

You know, it was interesting.

When I was at CPAC on Thursday of last week.

And Donald Trump on Friday made all of those promises.

We're going to repeal and replace Obamacare.

We've got tax reform.

And then I thought to myself, well,

what is CPAC 2018 going to look like?

Because he's going to have to deliver on those

promises, and there's already talk now

that tax reform is going to get pushed to the end of the year.

So look.

He's got a heavy lift here, Pat, and he's

got to deliver results.

Congressional Republicans are with him so far, but time--

I don't want to say is running out.

It's only been a month and a half,

but he needs to get moving on those priorities.

And here's the deal, Pat.

He has got this interesting dance with Republicans

up on Capitol Hill.

He has let them in quite a bit to the White House.

In other words, Paul Ryan and his staff

and Kevin McCarthy and his staff are really

coming in and trying to figure out Obamacare and taxes.

And so there's a lot of dialogue,

but just no fine blueprint quite yet.

PAT ROBERTSON: You know, David, what

they need, it seems like to me, is something

relatively small beer, if I can use that term.

Instead of trying to have a comprehensive tax overhaul,

just cut some rates, and give the people something

that's tangible right now.

That's what they need.

Well, that's been part of the frustration, Pat.

You're absolutely right that what is the plan?

What exactly is going to happen here?

I mean they can't even agree right now on this border

adjustment tax we've heard so much about.

And that's really the central tenet

of what Paul Ryan and the Republicans

want-- to basically tax imports and not tax exports,

as you know.

But the Trump administration, or at least

some folks like Gary Cohn, the National Economic Council

adviser for Donald Trump, has a problem

with the border adjustment tax.

So they can't even agree on one of the central pieces

of the legislation.

We'll see.

It's going to be a long road.

Well, the Democrats are still divided.

They rejected the man who is a Muslim, who

had been, in a sense, a disaster for them.

But nevertheless, one is the Sanders party,

and the other is--

I don't know-- the Clinton-Obama party.

What do you think of the Democrats?

Where are they going from here?

Well, I think this whole DNC chair vote in the last few days

really does sum up the party right now, which

is it's very divided.

And the Sanders folks are not happy.

That liberal wing-- now remember,

the liberal wing is a very important wing,

because not only--

well, the main reason they're important

is because they're the activist wing.

And they're the ones that are really

driving all of the energy behind what the Democrats want to do.

And then you've got Tom Perez, more of that establishment

voice, if you will.

Not that he's not a liberal, but he's definitely

establishment as well.

And so you've got the yin and the yang of the Democrats,

and they can't figure it out.

And that's part of the problem that they're

going to have going forward.

So you have not just this Democratic National Committee

issue, but you're going to have the larger

issue of what are you going to do in the states exactly?

How are you going to organize for the 2018 midterm elections?

And they've got a lot of energy right now--

Democrats do-- as it relates to some of what

we've seen of the town halls.

But is it sustainable in two years?

The Tea Party was very sustainable.

Not quite sure if this movement will be.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, you know, the Senate Democrats

are still holding up many of Trump's nominees.

And what did Ted Cruz tell you about Democrats in Washington?

Very interesting.

He says that Washington Democrats

are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.

That's what he called it.

I don't know if that's covered under any sort of co-pay

out there, but it's out there.

And I thought Ted Cruz was kind of being cute with that line,

funny.

But the underlying issue that he told me

is that Democrats are actually not so much angry at Trump.

They're angry at the American people.

And when I asked, what do you mean exactly?

He said, look, they are angry that the American people

voted for Donald Trump.

And that was his main point, so that was

kind of an interesting take.

So you've got Donald Trump saying

the press is the enemy of the American people.

You've got Ted Cruz now saying that the Democrats are

angry at the American people.

There is some venom going back and forth.

What a shock.

It's Washington.

A lot of venom going around here, Pat.

Oh, I'm glad you're living there instead of me.

[LAUGHING]

One last thing.

Trump, once again, singled the support

he had from the evangelicals at about 82%, 83%.

Unbelievable support in the election.

Do you think he can handle--

can he deliver on his campaign promise?

The thing that he mentioned was the Johnson Amendment,

and it would be so easy to repeal that.

He has said publicly in an interview

we did a few weeks ago that he's going to make sure that Johnson

Amendment gets repealed.

He's told CBN News privately as well-- we've

had some conversation with him, where he says he's definitely

going to do that.

So we'll see now what form it takes.

We'll have to figure it-- or he'll have to figure i tout.

We're not going to figure it out.

He'll figure it out at some point.

Now I will say in terms of the promises he's

made evangelicals, I mean it is a long checklist.

And it's only been a month and a half.

I mean we're sending--

or he overturned-- I shouldn't say

overturned-- rescinded the pro-life Mexico City policy.

He has gone through some of this.

The transgender rights issue--

he rescinded those bathroom guidelines.

I can go on and on.

But look.

There have been quite a few things

that he has done for evangelicals already,

and we're only a month and a half in

You're supposed to get a little bit of briefing

in advance of the State of the Union Address.

You know anything, the high points of that yet?

Well, I think it's going--

I don't want to call it more of the same,

but Donald Trump is going to lay out

what he has done in the first month and a half.

And that is going to-- we're told by folks

there at the White House that it's going

to be all done with a smile.

In other words, it's not going to be this bombastic CPAC red

meat type of speech, obviously.

You're in front of a joint session of Congress,

so he's going to do a little bit more of the charm offensive,

if you will, and it'll be a talk about defense

and talk about ways in which this country can come together.

He's going to talk about uniting the country.

But boy, I tell you what.

He talks about uniting the country,

but then gets on Twitter.

And it's a different story there.

David, we'll look forward to your analysis of the speech

when it comes down.

Thanks so much for being with us.
