>> of course she can. and one of the reasons that all the negative stuff that voters know about hillary clinton they don't know negative stuff about bernie sanders. >> jim sciutto you have breaking news. >> new information has come and gone in iran. that was the original timing discussed for the release of the ten american sailors held by the iranian revolution guard but that time has past. the original reason given for waiting for daylight is the navy does not operate at night. the sailors have still not been released. we are told to expect in about three hours' time, that would be 2:00 a.m. u.s. time. but again i'm told by u.s. officials that all relies upon iran following this plan and i've been told that a lot of people are on tinder hooks waiting to see if the deal

will come through on time. >> we heard the vice president suggest optimism, john kerry expressed optimism. do they still think this is a done deal, those ten american sailors will be freed? >> from the beginning they expressed confidence it will come through as designed but you speak to people in private and they say i'll be comfortable only when i see it happen. >> iran like every other country has its own internal politics. one of the things going on here, the revolutionary guard, they're the ones -- the extremists within iran, they are the ones who have taken the american sailors captive or hostage or whatever they're doing with them. how much are the leaders of iran, the moderates or what passes for a moderate in iran, rouhani and the like. how much are they hoping to get the guard to turn over the

americans? >> the revolutionary guard are the run ones that launched rockets two weeks ago and with many things that rouhani and many have promised like releasing dissidents, et cetera. they have not been able to bring to life. >> just past 11:00 here in washington, d.c. back with our political team getting reaction to president obama's final and forceful state of the union address. rejecting claims about the nation's economic decline as political hot air and included swipes at donald trump and ted cruz on sensitive issues. >> anyone claiming that america's economy is in decline

is peddling fiction. look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have it. . i think there are outdated regulations that need to be changed. food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis. if you doubt america's commitment or mine to see that justice is done, just ask osama bin laden. i am guessing we won't agree on health care any time soon just a guess. >> and back with john king, michael smerconish, gloria borner, david axelrod, and amanda carpenter, van jones, mike rogers, in terms of the tone of this president, john king, is it different than what we heard in the state of the union last year? >> well, sure, it's the last

one. and the tradition says i want you to pass this, i want you to pass that and hope you can work together on this. bill clinton was famous for it. but this president gave a couple of long state of the unions where they list ten or 12 and they fight over what gets mentioned. and it is a big elbow match. this time the president essentially said i'll get back to that. i want to talk more theematically. it was striking in how much he wanted to defend what he has done and what he is doing in which he is the issue. there is con standpoistant crit everything. the republican campaign casts this presidency as a failure and he was rebutting them. >> how do you judge the effectiveness of the state of

the union if anyone can remember a line from last year, please speak up. what is an -- >> the way sometimes you judge it is if a president's poll numbers take a pop the next day. i think that may have happened with bill clinton in the past. but i think that's not the way you will judge this speech. president obama has been stuck at 44, 45, 46%. the public has decided who he is and how much they like him. what struck me about this, though, and i just want to say one thing about tone with the president. this is a person who is leaving office. he's not tethered to whether democrats succeed in their re-election. and this is also a president who seemed more at ease. cracked a joke at the beginning of this where he said i'm going to make it short, some of you

are antsy to get back to iowa. and he seemed to be just more at ease in the sense that i'm going to be liberated from this job soon. >> he is making a push for a democratic -- >> i read president reagan's last address. he called for a line item veto and to outlaw abortion in all cases. bill clinton's last state of the union address he called for gun safety legislation, a minimum wage, the parties use these -- presidents use these to organize the government so that everyone knows what they are supposed to be working on but also to organize the cup. >> i think he also tonight needed to say back to his base look at what i did for you. his line on clean energy and put nick that was brilliant. he said we didn't argue about

whether sputnik was up there but just went to fix it. but if you look at every progressive constituency out there, the kids that won on keystone pipeline or the dreamers, you have a grass roots that has taken over this party. there is a progressive movement that has taken over this party and set the agenda from black lives matter to 350.org to the dreamers. and he was blowing a bunch of kisses to his base. that was important. >> i think that belittles what he was doing. i think he was outlining very big ideas about what defines the future. and mike said -- wait a second. mike says it was contentious and political because he didn't agree with the republicans. we have two parties for a reason. he has a very well defined view of what the future demands and that's what elections are about. >> does he continue to go

against the republicans? >> does it help define the debate in the coming year? i think it will. >> but does he continue to attack donald trump, ted cruz? moving forward? >> i think he is a guy who believes that we are an american community that we shouldn't turn on each other, that we shouldn't certainly do it by religion and race and tribe. >> you wouldn't be surprised if he continues to go after trump. >> he didn't name donald trump tonight. but i think he will stand up for the america he believes in. >> the long ball that he was playing to david's point and it's the war on terror. i heard him say we're strong and he defended that perspective an i heard him say that isis -- fighters in the back of pickup trucks don't pose a threat to the united states. and he said that the middle east transformation that is underway is going to play itself out for a generation. i thought this with u.as the prt

trying to lessen fear and add perspective. >> there was one line that spokes the fear. the line that is rhetoric, when people talk about the enemy gaining strength that's rhetoric and hot air. that plays into the trump base and plays into people who fear an attack on our homeland. >> let's play what he said about isis. it relates to what we're talking about. >> masses of fighters on the backs of pickup trucks, twisted souls plotting in apartments or garages, they pose an enormous danger to civilians. they have to be stopped but they do not threaten our national existence. that is the story isil wants to tell. that's the kind of propaganda they use to recruit. >> mike? >> you know, this is where i think this president gets in so much trouble.

i don't expect the president to say let's all get along. a big smooch and let's all get syphilis. >> i'm against syphilis and trump. not in that order. >> he says i want to get along and proceeds to attack republicans on points that are divisive. >> why would you do this in you have a national platform. >> all seven years he doesn't do it and now he says -- >> that's what you were saying. >> he said we're going to have differences in a democracy. but let us respect each other in those differences. >> and insults the people's positions by trying to categorize them. >> if you are not for me -- >> yes -- >> reagan -- >> you love reagan, right? reagan was brilliant at doing exactly that. he would have a vigorous defense

of his own positions. >> which is fine. >> but it's important that we take him seriously when he tries to help americans understand where we are. if you told us 15 years ago after 9/11 with 3,000 americans dead and with american icons blown up and laying on the ground that the next major terrorist attack would be in 15 years and wouldn't be 3,000, 1,000, wouldn't be 100 but 14 tragic lost that we -- he knocked the heck out of al qaeda and now he's going to knock the heck out of isis. but let's make sure -- you're the guy on this. but i think it's important that we listen to what he is trying to say. we have made progress in this war. it's going to be a long war. but we are not in the same position we were in with the soevd union. >> to say that the foreign policy is going well and it's about four guys in a pick up

truck -- >> and donald trump says we're getting wiped up. >> we have isis that went from a small portion of eastern syria is now in 20 countries. there are 50 states with investigations on isis, and this is the problem. when the president dumbs down -- don't worry about this. we got it covered -- >> that's not what he said -- >> absolutely that's what he said. >> what i heard him say -- >> i lived it. >> he didn't want to make the decision. >> i wouldn't have liked the speech. >> mike -- >> without giving the statistic what i heard him trying to say was this, your risk of being killed by a terrorist if you are an american is one in 4 million and trump is scaring the crap out of people. isis poses a threat but not an existential threat. >> to say that terrorism doesn't

have both a broader impact -- >> it should have been a law enforcement matter and not invasion of iraq. >> this is why we didn't deal with the problem in eastern syr syria and he pulled out iraq. for him to say everyone loves america more today that is fantasyland. the foreign leaders asked us what is going on in america why are you pulling away from the world? >> you think -- >> we were more popular under george w. bush. >> at least when he said he would do something he did. >> like invade the wrong country. >> you raised pulling away from the world. what is donald trump talking about? >> i'm not here to defend any person's individual foreign policy decision. i'm telling you this president has presented the next president -- i don't care who it is -- if it's bernie sanders, we

have a huge problem internationally. >> hold on one second. >> get -- >> his point -- >> wait, wait -- >> no, sir. he is going to turn over a much better country than the one he inherited. >> not on foreign policy. >> are you insane? come on. >> you're arguing the position of the u.s. in the world is better than what it was. isis in 20 countries and 50 states. you have attacks in paris. you have the chinese -- >> let van respond. >> you can run through the list of horrors you are concerned about iran. >> and china and russia. >> can i finish? >> iran -- you want to talk about iran, iran got the biggest help it ever got from jogeorge bush when he knocked out iraq. if you go through the list -- >> unfortunately your facts

are -- >> that's true -- >> no. >> not going to -- >> mike made an interesting point. the chances of an american being killed by a terrorist is one in 4 million. >> john cato wrote a book called overblown the data is there. >> one in 4 million we spend hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars, the chances of an american man dying from cancer is one in two. american woman one in three. and against that, we spend about 5 billion a year. so the president tonight i think one thing that could be a lasting legacy is he asked the vice president to lead a moon shot to kill cancer. this congress. they increased funding for the national institutes of health. >> all of us are much more threatened by cancer. >> you can't deny, here's where i agree with mike. you can't deny that the american public is anxious.

>> yes. >> whether isis, you know, is an existential threat or not, the america public is afraid. >> you fight fear with facts. you don't -- >> he said it's rhetoric and hot air. >> it is the role of the president to cater to anxiety or address the anxiety with facts. that's what he tried to do tonight. >> some notion he laid out a list of facts is wrong. he had great rhetoric. but i will tell you in the position in the world we are in much worse shape. russia is on the move -- >> but just factually, isn't globally the number of people dying in wars less than ever before. your chance of dying a violent death today -- on the first day of world war i -- >> 30,000 -- >> to compare us to world war i.

>> it's harder to maintain a war and keep it going and you don't have as many deaths from war. >> one idiot and one gun can do a lot of damage. we are going to be fighting that for the next 20 years. but that is a different threat than organizing massive acts inside our borders. >> since, mike, you want facts and we should talk facts you look at polling around the world. it is just a fact that our standing is higher than it was when this president took office. >> it is not true. >> you are saying among leaders. >> you don't have a country, iran who right after the iran deal a month ago launches tests on missiles in violation of the u.n. sanctions. and here's where we get in trouble. here's where i fault the administration. the administration says that's a problem and we're going to do

something about it. they send it to congress and iran says all bets are off and they go back to congress and take the sanctions back. if you don't think that has implications for u.s. national security you are wrong. >> that same country under the last administration was steaming toward an atom bomb and now they are a good distance from it because they had to ship -- >> as a guy who sat in every one of those meetings, absolutely inaccurate. what happened was the administration pulled back on a whole set of decisions because they wanted an iran deal. some of those decisions included action on a growing problem of isis when our arab league partners came to congress and the united states, me included and said we have a problem with this group, this is going to get out of hand we need some help, the president said we're busy with this other action going on. i sat in those meetings and was a part of those meetings,

democrats oppose it at that time in those meetings. >> i want to ask you one question, will -- >> those are the facts. >> will the gentleman yield? >> doesn't mean we will. >> or that you are a gentleman. >> can i ask question. >> are you saying iran is as close today to a bomb as they were before this process began? >> i think they are on a much better position -- >> are they closer to a bomb than they were before -- >> no, it's not that easy. all of their -- there are three legs to that nuclear stool and we -- there's three legs to the nuclear stool. if you want to have a discussion about the imp kallications of t iran deal including quds force -- >> i wanted to --

>> can i say something about the speech -- >> i think the answer is -- >> i want to say we have the first results of the instant poll of the americans who watched the speech. >> very interesting results. 53% of those who watched the speech, the speech watchers had a positive reaction to the president's remarks together. 20 were somewhat positive and 25% negative. the very positive is as high as it has ever been. but nearly half of those who watched say the obama presidency has fallen short of their expectations. remember, this poll doesn't reflect the views of all americans only those who watched the speech, a group that is more democratic than the population as a whole. we're going to get more results for you but these are fascinating. the most positive reaction among those who watched the speech of any speech going back to 2013

which was pretty high. >> a key part of that is the fact that democrats and those who are inclined to like president obama are more likely to watch the speech than republicans and those who don't like president obama and looking at social media and talking to people and people i know who are democrats thought it was a great speech and got them excited and reminded them why they voted for obama and republicans hated it and thought he came across as lecturing and not describing the united states they know. and people in the middle i -- but a lot of the stuff hasn't happened. >> it makes sense. especially when you consider that so many people who like obama were watching. >> a lot of people had high expectations of this presidency. if you listen to the results of

the poll we have tonight those people are disappointed by and large that the expectations have not been achieved. >> president obama has not made this a major part of his presidency at all it's his desire to change the campaign system not just the finance system but also making gerrymandering a thing of the past, talking more about making it easier to vote, not harder, one of the key parts of that is taking big money out of politics and most people watching are not big money people and have not given a lot of money to politicians and political party and like the idea of those people having less of an influence. 'easier to make that promise when you are walking out of the door. the reaction among those who

watched the speech when we go back eight speeches this is the highest. >> that's what he wanted. this is a historic speech his last one. a cap stone, a book end to that peach he gave in 2004. it is an end a legacy speech, a big, important speech. >> i want some reaction to your friends over there. >> we started off an hour and a half ago to this harkens back to 2008. afternoon 2012. >> remember whether you voted for him or not how aspirational and inspirational he was. >> i -- >> to try to lay out ans a separational -- we can deal with these things and fix these things and get through the hard stuff if you lift your heads up and that is very much obama.

my question is, how many minds can he change or is that his goal. if his goal is to hold the coalition together, if he keeps it together whoever is the democratic nominee wins the white house. >> the dommic nominee has to keep the obama coalition without barack obama. that is not easy. as we saw in this conversation tonight you are not going the change minds here. >> i'm sensing that mike's coming around to my -- >> so -- >> but does this president send a year campaigning for his legacy. >> mobilizing, getting out voters. >> whoever run -- >> people who don't like him don't like him. >> whoever the republicans nominate have to run against a barack obama, michelle obama and both clintons. you were right when you say this is obama's version of america.

he is proud of the country but he does not want us to get pulled into dumb wars. >> here's the difficulty for the republican candidate. you have to coalesce the obama coalition without saying you are the third term of barack obama. that is a tricky thing to thread that needle. >> but the set of issues he outlined is a set of issues that a candidate can run with. >> a healthy disagreement that we had a few minutes ago. nikki haley spent her time on immigration and terrorism. she talked to security issues. this is where the republicans think their gold is in 2016. they think the way to win is to peel off enough people or if you have the map, peel off florida,

ohio, virginia and one more and the republicans win just barely but they win. they get to 270. but you only have to change four big ones. but at this moment and we have ten and a half months to go, at this moment, they think security is their money. >> anxiety. >> play on the anxiety. and that includes the border. nikki haley's speech was for a reason. it was laying out the early benchmark. she took a couple shots at trump but the early foundation of where the republicans need to go this year. >> that is why -- >> i'm for hillary anyway but that's why i'm for hillary. she's the most trusted to be tough on terrorism. if this election is about security -- >> that's not what democratic voters are worried about. that's why this thing is not a gimme. >> bernie is a formidable

politician. but if this thing turns on security hillary -- >> we have ten and a half months and i think it's important -- we didn't know that lehman brothers was going to collapse on september 15th 2008 and transformed the debate in that election. we don't know what the election is going to be about. but it's a good bet that the economy and the anxiety that mike talked about is going to be at the center of it. and whoever can speak to that will have a better chance. >> you ran against hillary clinton in 2008. do you see parallels to her then and what is happening with her now and bernie sanders? >> i think that bernie has mobilized a young, progressive base within the party that we've seen before. i think she's more -- someone said she was caught unawares. she has been organizing iowa in a way she never organized it in 2008 and that could provide a firewall for her there. i will say a couple things about

the two-them. i watched bernie sanders here. he better develop a better answer on the gun question. he looked flummoxed there. when he said i cast 10,000 votes on a lot of complicated issues. he sounded like he has been in congress 25 years which is not what he wants to be. but on the other hand i regret the clinton campaign sent chelsea out to make the attack she did today. bernie sanders is proposing single payer universal health care. he is not trying to take health care away from anyone but exceed it. it wasn't an honest attack and it's not something that they should have sent her out to do. >> and i found it interesting in obama's state of the union he made the argument that we passed this so we can fill the gap when

you change jobs. portability wasn't the big selling point of obamacare it was affordability. he can't run on -- hillary clinton will have to answer for that. obama is waving the white flag on that. and republicans should spend more on the price of health care. everyone's premiums -- >> preexisting conditions -- >> the preexisting -- >> preexisting conditions, no preexisting conditions was a huge part of this debate. and correct me if i'm wrong. >> the single biggest selling point of the plan. >> so i must be right. and i think the republican party is going to have a difficult time trying to take something away from people that they now have. >> they can offer them something better and let them shop across state lines and have plans with

greater access to doctors and you are not paying for services you will never lose. >> eat ice cream and lose weight. that's in there. >> there was an alternative that included a lot of the things you talked about. and the biggest part of it was they were going to get 15% of the people who are not covered, get those people covered. now it's a new 15% -- the numbers are clean on this. and half of the companies who are engaged in this health care are pulling out of the market. it's not working and the fines go up next year. >> we're getting more reaction in realtime with our instant testing. >> we invited viewers to weigh in in realtime with our digital dial test. tom foreman has the results. what did we learn?

>> about 125,000 people joined us online for our microsoft pulse test. we have the democrats in blue and the independents in purple and the republicans in red. they weighed in minute by minute saying what they liked and didn't like about the president's speech. one of the biggest areas of divergence is when the president talked about his nuclear deal with iran. watch the highlights parts of the line as he speaks. >> that's why we built a global coalition with sanctions and dploen diplomacy to prevent a nuclear stockpiled iran and the world has avoided another war. >> republicans have raised a lot of questions about that deal all along and under the circumstances of today as you might expect they did not approve of that out there in our

audience taking part with microsoft pulse. but you can see a different opinion here if you talk about red tape that's one of the areas you had the greatest agreement between all three groups. listen. >> i think there are outdated regulations that need to be changed. there is red tape that needs to be cut. there you go. a big thing no one went through the roof. the democrats hovered around 88% to plus 90% the whole time. independents below them and republicans at the lowest level. at no point did the lines cross. nothing broke up that order. >> tom foreman. thanks. that reinforces the notion that democrats loved what the president had to say and

republicans didn't. >> president obama one of the propositions of his speech and his presidency is that the american people are not as divided as the politics of washington, d.c. suggests they are. maybe we are. i mean, maybe the american people are just as divided and why presidential elections are so close and congress flips back and forth and the idea that the streams didn't cross is significant. there was nerve any overlap. >> dana bash spoke to members as they were leaving. was the reaction the same among the members? >> it was predictable. frankly, the democrats, who i spoke to thought he did a wonderful job saying the things he wanted to say and ending the way he wanted to and republicans

said same old same old. there was disappointment he didn't talk about the channel of isis and didn't lean into it more and his strategy. but yes, i think it was -- i think this was true for any obama speech but now it was a rorschach test. if you like him you liked it if you didn't you didn't. >> he worked hard to prepare that speech and deliver it. stand by, we have a lot more viewer reaction coming in. the president addressed the issues that broke through tonight from debate watchers who weighed in on the speech. much more coming up right after a quick break. >> let me tell you something, the united states of america is the most powerful nation on earth, period. period. it's not even close. i think it landed last tuesday.

one second it's there. then, woosh, it's gone. i swear i saw it swallow seven people. seven. i just wish one of those people could have been mrs. johnson. [dog bark] trust me, we're dealing with a higher intelligence here. ♪ the all-new audi q7 is here. ♪ while you're watching this,

i'm hacking your company. grabbing your data. stealing your customers' secrets. there's an army of us. relentlessly unpicking your patchwork of security. think you'll spot us? ♪ you haven't so far. the next wave of the internet requires the next wave of security. we're ready. are you? ♪ (cell phone rings) where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom?

he says it's personal this time... if you're a mom, you call at the worst time. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. where are you? it's very loud there. are you taking a zumba class?

welcome back. tonight, president obama kicked off his state of the union address, his last one, by referencing the campaign for his job. listen. >> i know some of you are antsy to get back to iowa. [ applause ] i've been there.

i'll be shaking hands afterwards if you want some tips. >> iowa casts the first presidential vote of 2016 in less than three weeks. donald trump and hillary clinton have been campaigning there today. sara murray is covering trump and brianna keillor is covering clinton. >> donald trump is here on the campaign trail and his aides said he would be watching from the jet. and he caught it from both sides of the aisle, nikki haley and president obama taking shots at trump, nikki haley cautioning about listening to the siren call of the most extreme voice. it's interesting to see the president take a shot at ted cruz talking about carpet bombing civilians and saying those kinds of things only work

as sound bites from tv studios. cruz said he will never apologize for wanting to kill terrorists. but the comments blanket cruz and trump who have come closes to one another talking about bombing isis a and the families of isis or talking about blocking muslims from the u.s. the president wanted to be after the tone we are seeing from the republican front runners right now. >> secretary clinton talked for an interview on new day tomorrow morning. what was her day on the campaign trail? >> her day on the campaign trail today obviously that interview and she had events in iowa and a fundraiser in detroit. but during the state of the union address, her campaign out with an ad called i'm with him meaning president obama, and it's a campaign ad that focuses

on guns. as hillary clinton faces a tough, tough challenge from bernie sanders in new hampshire and an increasingly tough challenge from him in iowa she is trying to zero in on the issue that she thinks there is the most daylight between him and president obama and him and the democratic base because of his moderate stance on gun laws which hued to him coming from vermont. he is taking advantage of the fact that president obama has said he doesn't want to support a candidate who doesn't go where he is on guns. and it's something they are zeroing in on the clinton campaign being a one-trick pony, putting all their eggs in this basket as a new poll shows her down 5 points in iowa. i'm not so sure that the clinton campaign would take that number to the bank. and bernie sanders is up 14 points in new hampshire. is it a really tough race here for hillary clinton.

>> thank you very much. and we saw our dana bash asking bernie sanders earlier on in our broadcast about that new campaign commercial. do you think this is an effective attack against bernie sanders? this is something we asked about during the first democratic debate. it is essentially the liability for gun manufacturers, if those guns are used in violent crimes. >> i think he is uncomfortable with this issue. i think bernie sanders is generally a very forth right guy and he is clearly struggling with this. he was on my podcast. i said if you were living in brooklyn would you cast the same votes? he said no, probably not. >> is this an issue that brings democrats to the polls. traditionally that's one of the arguments that's why there hasn't been progress on further gun control because it's not the issue that is driving people to the polls. >> it's not an issue that has

become a determinant issue in national elections. if you ask the primary voters they talk about immigrants and it's one of the few areas, bernie sanders says that she is to the right of him. this is one of the places where hillary clinton can get to the left of bernie sanders in iowa first and say i've been consistent on this issue. and bernie sanders, he doesn't like to talk about it. you can see. that as a vermont senator, a gun rights state he was much more pro gun. >> the decision to tie herself to the president when bringing this on. she could have gone after bernie sanderson this issue saying everything she said and left president obama out of the equation. i thought it was interesting to attach herself to him on this. >> this is a change in the democratic party.

i remember covering elections, al gore, for example in 2000, bill clinton in 1994, it may have cost him control of the assault weapons ban and control of the congress. and democrats used to be afraid of the gun issue. it's only now because of the obama coalition we have been talking about tonight where voters are younger, they're more urban, and gun control is a popular issue on the presidential level now. the question i have about the democratic party is fine for hillary clinton to have this fight with bernie sanders and get to the left of him on guns but what does it do to members of congress? those democrats who are still in states that might be progun? those are the people who desserted him on the last vote. >> we do have results of a new instant poll. i want to come back to paul on this issue. he is close to the clintons,

obviously. wolf, what have you learned? >> we have more on the results of the instant polls. we are seeing differences in the opinions and policies he laid out tonight compared to his record since taking office. we asked which of mr. obama's policies will move the country in the right direction? climate change was on top followed by the economy and gun policy. when we asked which of the policies have been a success over the past seven years, climate change and the economy still ranked highest but gun policy was seen as the least successful issue. this poll doesn't reflect the views of all americans only those who watched the speech, a group that is clearly more democratic than the pop laying as -- population as a whole. >> the president himself has talked about the gun issue as one where he feels that he has not succeeded, where he has

failed, obviously, the people who responded to the poll leaning democratic. are inclined to agree with president obama on this issue. and then, in terms of media coverage of gun violence, there have been a lot of horrific stories. >> and that's why there was an empty seat in the gallery, to underscore the deaths from gun violence, 30,000 a year, here in the united states. >> that's right. but i have to sort of echo what gloria was saying, it feels in some ways that i'm in bizarre-o world listens to democrats talk so intensely about gun control. it's not that many of them didn't think this before they never said it at least for a while because rahm emanuel decided to take over the house

in 2006 in large part by getting them on board because they were pro gun democrats. >> we're taking a closer look at the instant reaction to the speech including one rare moment where all agreed. that's coming up next. y. all across the state the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, the lowest taxes in decades, and university partnerships, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. like in utica, where a new kind of workforce is being trained. and in albany, the nanotechnology capital of the world. let us help grow your company's tomorrow, today at business.ny.gov

we're getting more reaction to the president's speech.

let's go back to cnn's tom foreman tracking results from our digital dial test. >> there were times when the 125,000 people tried to agree. and one of those moments came on the subject of education. >> we should recruit and support more great teachers for our kids. [ applause ] and we have to make college affordable for every american. >> so you didn't get the readout there, but what happened during that part is what you saw everybody surged up when we should make it affordable but when we went to college, the republicans dropped off there. so many republicans are wary of the government starting to pay

for that wholesale. it's one of those areas where they wanted to agree but couldn't get there. >> when they agree they have to work together. and so much bad blood right now can they work together? >> let's end on a nice note. usually members of congress from the opposing party of the president send out letters trashing the speech before. but that is not happening on clint. fred upton put out a press release applauding the move to eliminate cancer, for cancer research saying he wants to work on that. that is a nice thing where the republicans and democrats can come together. >> everybody wanted to eliminate cancer. >> absolutely. i don't want to be the party pooper here. the devil is in the details, whether or not the government is

going to pay for the it or the private sector is going to pay for it. >> the biggest take aways from the state of the union address when we come back. woman: it's been a journey to get where i am. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. >> the biggest take aways from people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be.

every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. i'i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro. it took joel silverman years to become a master dog trainer. but only a few commands to master depositing checks at chase atms.

party you're in. for democrats looking to be reinspired by president obama i think they will remember it. i think republicans will continue to dislike it and remember it less. >> you think that president obama continues with this message out on the campaign trail? >> he's not running for re-election but his legacy depends on who the next president is. he needs to have a democrat to continue his next legacy. a republican can undo everything he has done. so what he was doing was laying out the blueprint for the next democratic nominee. i know that david doesn't think this was a totally political speech. it wasn't. >> it was for the election and beyond the election. he committed to certain things that are consistent throughout. this speech is one of his best speeches and connected to the speeches back to 2004 at the democratic convention. and the other thing i'd say

about tonight is that we learned that donald j. trump casts a large shadow. >> donald trump says he is going to make america great again. and president obama's message tonight is america is a great place. and the legacy of this speech is a rejection of the grab bag whomever the next president might be they will not feel compelled to give a laundry list in their state of the union speech. >> this is the president's biggest night of the year. the incumbent president of the united states and the governor of south carolina coast chosen to respond to the president both took shots at donald trump. he hasn't won anything yet but he is one of the front runners. he has changed the conversation in this country. >> if i were a muslim parent tonight i would be very, very reassured. i'm proud of this president. i'm proud of the democratic party and proud of the activists out there that have made our

party better. i'm proud that the president of the united states has been tarred by the worst actors. >> he has a chance to do something on bringing people together. there are people who really want to do it. i think three months from now you're going to find unfortunately because i have been down this path before if you liked the last seven years you're going to like the next 12 months. >> you judge the success on whether it changed political dialogue. the answer is no, obama is officially a lame duck and the era is over. >> the era of trump and the republican party is ascentant. >> we will have more to come on

the state of the union speech. i hope you stick around for that. >> once again, we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. the president of the united states is about to deliver his last state of the union speech. ten u.s. sailors are being held in iran. the vice president and the secretary of state, they told our dana bash they expect those ten sailors to be released fairly soon. there's a bit of tension, jake tapper, as we await the release of these ten american sailors. it's been an awkward moment clearly for the president and his address. something they certainly did not want to have to deal with on this important night. >> that's right. we see secretary of state john kerry on our screen there.
