we made to night an inflection point. one of those moments and only a few generations ever face. for the direction we now take is going to the side course of this nation for decades to come. we're not bystanders of history are not powerless before the forces confront us. it's within our power of we the people are facing the test of our time. we have to be the nation. we've always been at our best optimistic, hopeful forward looking nation, the braces, light or dark. hope over fare unit reduces stability over chaos. we have to see each other, not as enemies, but as fellow americans were good people. the only nation in the world build on an idea. the only one

reason why my geography admits city were the only nation based on idea that all of us, every one of us is created equal image of god. a nation of stage is a beacon of the world, a nation new age of possibilities. so i've come to fulfill my constitutional obligation to report in the state of the union. and here's why my re, my report. because the saw the nation is strong. chris, the back for getting back foreigners neisha structure because the people to station or straw to stay to the unit is straw

noon is fine. i stand night. i mean serve as long about any one of you have ever surgery. but i've never been more optimistic about our future about the future america gesture, remember who we are. we're the united states of america and there's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we do it together. yeah. but you, oh my god, perfect. are 240 other english. why hasn't they bide methodist, joint house conduct and say to the union is presenting for at least an hour and 20 minutes. let's say that you can, you help if kimberlia you've been of this as exactly what the president said. he touched on what would have been a very domestic agenda to start with. everything from employment to a political infighting, manufacturing federal debt, health care, big pharma,

taxes. and he was obviously appealing to the domestic audience, but it had a touch of bipartisan approach everywhere with the phrase. let's get the job done. i think what was really remark old all about the speech was a moment kind of in the center of the speech there. something that you really don't see austin in washington. and it was when the president broke away from his prepared remarks and began to go shooting live in the middle of his speech with opposition. republicans. it was a remarkable moment what he was doing there was really talking and showing his skills as. 6 of someone who's been a washington for decades, not only as a president, as a vice president, but also as a member of congress. the issue is somewhat complicated about raising the debt

limit in the united states so that it can pay for social programs like medicare and social security. these are government programs to help the elderly and, and those in the united states that need kind of a step up and, and help. and right now, many republicans, that's the opposition party of the president's democratic party. are opposed to raising this limit. and so you heard, there are some push back in the middle of the speech as the president was making that case. so he turned his body and said, let's stand up for seniors. and he got this rare moment of he is sort of unanimity. he saw the president saying, that's something we all can agree on. and he delivered on a campaign promise right there in the middle of his speech a showed his skills and statesman. and it really showed that he was able to deliver on a campaign promise that honestly up until now he has not been able to deliver on he

campaign that he said, look, i have the experience, i have the ability to unite this divided. 6 america, and up until now there's been a lot of skepticism that he's been able to do that. but they're in live television . he delivered on that. and it really was remarkable to see that. who has his critics were challenging him yelling. why are you saw both sides standing up, both republicans and democrats, and it really was kind of the highlight of the speech. sure, there were other great moments for the president, but that is the one that is likely to capture headlines. and i can tell you in covering many state of the unions as a report in washington, it's not something that i've ever seen before where you've sort of seen these 2 parties coming together, negotiating over legislation in the middle of a state of the union address, it was really quite remarkable. kimberly healthy. they're a white house correspondent. thank sir kim locals will be um picking exactly what the president's been saying. i'm sure throughout the day. let's cross over now to

our washington broadcast center, where we joined by republican strategist, john ferry, and he's alongside democratic strategist, aneesha cross a fellow at the truman national security project, and sorta anesha. that's good to have you both on the program and thanks for joining us. on al jazeera and we should just your initial reaction to what, what i would describe as a very animated, a very forthright president to is making his agenda and policy very clear for the american public president by now without bar is the i'm for anyone who was at the, please come down to me. sure. we'll go. we'll come to you in a moment, john, for any one. he wasn't aware of his achievements. he went down the list from chips to infrastructure to historic investments in health care and reducing the cost of farmers suitable drugs, particularly insolent, making sure that america gets back on track with competitiveness in terms of the efforts and student loan reduction. everything that need to be hit on he hit on in this speech, i think in addition to really showcasing his prowess as a leader. as

a former legislator, someone who understands that room very well in getting republicans essentially to commit to not gutting social security to not getting up retirement to make sure that the things are taken very seriously to make sure that medicare isn't on the chopping block. these are things that really matter to be american people and i think that president biden fully understood that. and he was a very, very strong tapestry of his efforts in the democratic party of efforts and ensuring that america gets back on track. so let me just jump into how difficult do you think it's going to be for him to navigate away from the cameras behind closed doors? because what said in public is often very difficult to negotiate, even when you're trying to get by passes on approaches to, to most things. he talk about the infrastructure project and the bridge in kentucky which is very popular bipartisan approach. and something that we call was very agreeable to, but that's just one incident isn't absolutely. and

a slim, slim majority for republicans in the house is still a majority for republicans in the house. there is an uphill battle that this president is going to have in getting certain things pass. i think that that is widely acknowledged, particularly because republicans are more interested in fighting culture war in the animation we've seen across several states. and in, quite frankly, moving away from what the american public actually wants to see in terms of let a legislative change. but jo buyer has worked in this type of environment before he's the strongest in terms of building allies, particularly those from. and he only needs a handful from across the other side of the aisle. i think he's going to get the job done. ok, let's cross over to john. john, let me just get your initial impressions of what you thought. obviously, many republicans wouldn't have agreed with much of what present vide, miss achieved. would you agree or disagree? you know what i was struck by this speech was it was kind of a return to normalcy. it's been a long time since we've had kind of

a normal state of the union address where people we were in a post coven world, where there was elements from bill clinton, where he had a bunch of small things he wanted to talk about. like getting rid of junk fees. he was at many a times bipartisan where he was trying to over and congratulate both mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy. i think it was a very strong elements for the president. there were other other elements where republicans would have, you know, appreciate the, this whole straw man out there that the republicans were going to a ya slash. so security or medicare, they, they never were going to do that. they don't have the votes to do that. they don't want to do that. donald trump certainly didn't want to do that. there's other things that he, you know, sounded a little bit like donald trump. like we gotta, you know, get the born in forrest, we need to do something with fennel. we need to stand up to china, that sounds like trumping to me. and then there were things that he had the, you know, really kind of lay the base and be with the base that the democrats like the

republicans didn't like. so there was a big as a long speech, it was not unusual 1st day of the union they, they had a lot of different elements to it. it, i think this feature is better written than delivered. i think he really hurried through the speech with thank god, as it was still an hour and 20 minutes. yeah. so, you know, i think that like most states, the union was retina was kind of effective. okay, let's just take one of the subjects, which is the economy. it's something that oversee resonates across the board. whether you're a democrat or republican and john, i just ask you about the issues of the economy when it comes to investment in america. first, making things in america, you think that's going to resonate with the public lodge across the u. s. and is this going to impress them because states of the union is obviously a, you might say, a fundamental foundation for laying the groundwork. should he want to, as he says, want to run for the presidency again? well, you know, i think that this is also an element that donald trump talked about, which was we need, they have all these products made america. you know, it sounds.
