good morning, everyone i'm tamron hall. this is "newsnation." we are following reaction to president obama's state of the union address. so take a look at the headline from the "l.a. times," describing the president as boastful, confident, even cocky. huff post full throttle obama. and the guardian obama off the cuff and swagger. facing republican controlled house and congress he says at every step he was toll their goals were misguided or too ambitious and that they would crush jobs and explode deficits. >> tonight after a breakthrough year for america, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999. our unemployment rate is now lower than it was before the

financial crisis. more of our kids are graduating than ever before. more of our people are insured than ever before. for all that we have endured, for all of the grit and hard work required to come back for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this the shadow of crisis has passed and the state of the union is strong. >> the president also pushed his much talked about tax reform plan which democrats already know is unlikely to make progress through congress. the plan would give tax relief to middle class families by leveraging new tax increases on the wealthiest americans. >> and let's close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top 1% to avoid paying taxes on accumulated wealth. we can use that money to help more families pay for child care, send kids to college. we need a tax code that truly helps working americans trying to get a leg up in the new

economy, and we can achieve that together. >> now onto foreign policy. some critics noted that the president's speech made no mention of al qaeda and others say the president's rhetoric did not match the reality in some situations, specifically on foreign policy. the president saying the u.s. is stopping isil's advances an assertion that has been refuted. >> when we make rash decisions, reacting to the headlines, instead of using our heads, when the first response to a challenge is to send in our military, then we risk getting drawn into unnecessary conflicts and neglect the broader strategy we need for a safer, more prosperous world. that's what our enemies want us to do. i believe in a smarter kind of american leadership. >> but the buzz line of the morning, the one that essentially was the most popular on twitter, of course was the off the cuff remark the

president directed toward republicans. here's the moment. >> i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda -- i know because i won both of them. >> meanwhile, newly elected iowa senator joni ernst was selected to give the republican response in which she focused mainly on her party's priorities. >> we'll also keep fighting to repeal and replace a health care law that's hurt so many hard working families. we'll work to correct executive overreach. we'll propose ideas that aim to cut wasteful spending and balance the budget with meaningful reforms, not higher taxes, like the president has proposed. >> and joining me now, democratic congressman jim clyburn of south carolina who

serves as assistant democratic leader. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much for having me. >> we've got a couple of headlines i want to talk to you about. i am particularly intrigued by the daily beast. they have four obama state of the union ideas that do not have a chance in hell. authorizing military force in iraq and syria, cyber security legislation, trade promotion, and tax reform. let's start with the tax reform as we heard from joni ernst, basically repeating what many of her republican colleagues have said, that this is dead on arrival. >> well it may be. i don't know why it should be. the fact of the matter is most of my republican friends that i have talked to about these issues say they respect work. they honor people who go to work every day. yet we have a tax code that favors those who don't work.

if you get your income unearned you inherit wealth and you live off that wealth you will not be paying many taxes. but if you go to work every day, you are paying the burden of our tax and the president wants to bring an end to this class welfare. that is open war against the middle class and we want to bring that to an end. so i don't know why we cannot sit down look at the tax code and say hey, this isn't fair this mitigates against working men and women. let's come out with a tax code that closes the loopholes that have as the president said the upper 1% not paying any taxes at all. and while the lower 99% are carrying the burden of running the country. >> you know let me correct myself. the headline was the ideas that

do have a chance in hell. there is some optimism that's coming out, despite what senator joni ernst had to say. regarding the president's foreign policy sir, as you well know, he made the line assertion that the u.s. stopped isil's advances that's one of the major lines from his speech that's being refuted or saying it doesn't match the realities of what's happening on the ground. so while the president's words regarding the economy, the numbers speak for themselves, his rhetoric did not match according to many who reported from that region what's happening there. >> well i think all of us know that the american people are very wary of our men and women losing life and limb in these walls. they want them to come to an end. now exactly how we should effectively do that i leave up

to the experts, but i do know in talking to the american people that i've interacted with they want us out of these conflicts, they want us to stop trying to be the policeman of the world, they want our young men and women fighting only when it's necessary to secure the country. and so much of what has taken place, especially when we first went into iraq as being unnecessary to secure and defend the country. >> and lastly being a leader of your party, i have to ask you, the president's speech was more about 2016 and beyond they put it this way, that the president was essentially handing the political baton back to his party, and likely hillary clinton, essentially telling them here are the issues worth fighting for in the coming years. your response to that? >> well i think these are the issues worth fighting for, and i'm glad to see that he is

reaching out to our caucus because the first thing you got to do to get anything accomplished is to solidify your base. and i believe that that speech does that. it solidifies our base. now we have the basis upon which we can negotiate with the other side. this is not the end game. this is where we start. we will reach out to the other side see where we can find common ground and that's all the president is asking to call things dead on arrival and not make any attempt to find common ground is not the way you get to a successful conclusion of legislating. if you really want to legislate, that's what you would do. >> thank you so much for your time. congressman clyburn, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> let me bring in our "newsnation" political panel, senior correspondent anna palmer michael tap as ski, and frank keating, former republican

governor. michael, you were here yesterday. what did you see as a head line from the speech last night? >> what you just caught on the first read team as saying and what i said to you yesterday, that this is about teeing up the parameters of the 2016 debate more than about trying to get anything through congress. very few will get through congress. syria authorization may, trade promotion maybe, but i don't see that much beyond that. he is trying to say these are the issues that the democratic party of now, of 2016 of the future are going to be for. they're about sharing prosperity, bringing prosperity from 1 or 2% where it has been largely contained the last 30 years, at best 5% down to working class and working people of the country. that's where we're going to be going into this campaign. >> governor keating, heard michael bring up trade promotion, the president believing this is something he and the parties could come together on.

let me play what he said regarding trade deals. >> that's why i'm asking both parties to give me trade promotion authority to protect american workers with strong new trade deals with asia to europe that aren't just free but are also fair. that's the right thing to do. look, i'm the first one to admit, i'm the first one to admit past trade deals haven't always lived up to the hype. that's why we've gone after countries that break the rules at our expense. but 95% of the world's customers live outside our borders. we can't close ourselves off from those opportunities. >> governor keating, you could hear mixed reaction the highs and lows of that. is this an area that we could possibly see progress? >> oh, i think so, tamron. the reality is you have an overwhelming republican majority

now in the house, first time since really hoover's administration. obviously a significant majority in the senate. it is time for the president as i did as governor to focus on things that can happen as congressman clyburn said. trade promotion authority, the isis issue, try to have some reasonable accommodation, reform in dodd-frank certainly the affordable care act. there are opportunities here that ought to be sought after because the economy remains fragile and it is time in bipartisan way for both sides to come together and solve the problems. only the president can bring both sides together. >> you bring up the affordable care act, but you know that senator joni ernst that gave the official reply, there were five others in response to the president, for many conservative republicans, the affordable health care law is still target number one in repealing. >> well right. but realistically as you know

as all of us know with a democratic president, republican congress, he is in position to veto. so what is the answer? he needs a legacy. the legacy is survival of his bill the affordable care act survival of some kind of long lasting immigration reform and obviously something in dodd-frank arena to make many of those regulations less onerous, for example, on community banks. i think if the president wants to bring people together i think they want to negotiate, they want to have an achievement opportunity in 2016 and i just hope he does it. obviously it was a very long speech. lots of glitter and guild. the question is will he deliver will the congress deliver. i think they have an opportunity, it will be tough though. >> i think it was the shortest state of the union speeches. let's get in words from house

speaker john boehner. >> veto threats from the white house will not distract the people's house from the people's priorities. >> so compare that to what we heard from governor keating when you hear language coming from the house, the speaker, saying fantasies, things that are dead on arrival, that doesn't sound like the spirit of joining hands and finding some compromise be it on tax reform or something that many people do believe is a glimmer of hope of deal making which involves trade deals. >> absolutely. i don't think you're going to see a lot of conciliatory remarks. you had speaker john boehner inviting israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu without coordination from the white house, sources are telling us. that's a shot across the bow to the white house. it is unlikely we see a lot of kumbaya talk here on the hill. >> i have to get your reaction

michael, to iowa congressman steve king's tweet, people posted and reposted this before the state of the union, he referred to an undocumented immigrant scheduled to sit with the first lady. he says obama averts prosecutorial -- to sit with the first lady. i should sit with alito. you have a surplus of gop response some believe it indicates disorganization within the ranks. >> well there is disorganization within the ranks obviously. let reince priebus go down that path. >> and let's get the response to the tweet sent out. >> it was unfortunate. both sides to every issue, extremes on both sides.

but i think in the immigration space to focus, for example, on h 1 b visas, to do something about family reunion i have indication as a step in the direction of taking advantage of talent that's in this country that has to leave once they finish school i think they're in negotiating positions that are possible. i have been in the middle of some of them conversing with people in the private sector and their political partners. it takes a president to bring everybody in the room shut the door say look i need five things for the sake of the country, not my party, not hillary clinton, for the sake of the country. maybe we will get something done. i am still optimistic even though i was not born yesterday. >> thank you for your time. panel, appreciate you joining us. thank you. developing now, terror fears escalate in yemen, rebels hold the country's president captive. what it means for top u.s. ally in the war against al qaeda. and also ahead, students

kicked out of school because they're not vaccinated. >> kind of scary and i'm kind of stressed out right now because i don't really know what to do when i get back to school. >> a california school takes drastic action against the disease as disney admits five employees have come down with measles, even after they have been vaccinated. and deflate gate a new report says 11 of 12 footballs used by the new england patriots were underinflated in the game against the colts. we have new details on the investigation. join our conversation online. so many of you already have. reading your tweets at "newsnation." find me on facebook and instagram. en beans?

we are back with developing news. a palestinian man is under arrest accused of stabbing 11

people on a bus in tel aviv earlier today, wounding three others seriously. a police spokesperson is calling the stabbings a terrorist attack. the suspect shot in the leg after running from the bus and taken in for questioning. the associated press reports the suspect confessed to the attack claiming it was in response to last year's fighting in gaza. just a couple hours ago, we learned house speaker john boehner invited israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to address congress next month. speaker boehner wants netanyahu to discuss threats posed by radical islam and iran. it comes after president obama said in the state of the union address that he would veto any legislation that puts sanctions on iran. speaker boehner told republicans earlier about the letter saying congress will not stand by on iran. if accepted it would be netanyahu's third time appearing before congress. last addressed members may 24 2011. another developing story

now, rebels have stormed and taken control of the presidential palace in yemen, are standing guard at the president's private home where he is thought to be. a government spokesperson now says that the president has no control. still, u.s. senior officials say the american embassy is not at risk however it is all raising fears of a coup in yemen. joining me live terrorism analyst evan kohlmann. details came out yesterday. richard engel was live in turkey covering the region explained it as a fluid situation, and we don't know where this is going. >> no. it appears now that these individuals, the houthis, don't appear to want to overthrow the government per se. i think they recognize if they overthrow, that saudi arabia or the united states would step in we can't afford for an iranian ally to take control of yemen. they want to keep the president as a puppet talking about their

leader as being the president's president. >> isn't that a coup? >> for all intents and purposes it is. part of the problem is that the houthis aren't friends with al qaeda, they're the enemy, they have been fighting with aqap but they're not our friends either they are allied with iran. that's good reason to expect if they influence the government, they would try to get the government to cease operations in yemen. >> and because of the fluid nature of this didn't hear the president remark on developments in yemen, we know senior u.s. officials tell nbc news that the embassy in sanaa is not at risk and rebels don't pose a risk to americans. that's what they're saying now. as this escalates, what is your concern? >> yeah i don't think they pose immediate risk to americans in the sense that they're not going to try to kidnap or kill americans like aqap has, but

let's not be mistaken, they're not pro-american they would like to remove u.s. influence in yemen. if they influence the government, if they take control, seems they have influence not just in the government but in the military part of the problem, it is hard to say where we're going here. >> if you had to say, what do you see as likely next move from the united states or saudi arabia? >> i think saudi arabia is where you want to be looking. saudis have key interests in yemen, trying to offset the influence, part of a saudi versus iran competition. what we don't want to see is a reawakening of what's happening in syria in yemen. let's not forget in syria we've nom lee shiite government fighting the sunni resistance led by the islamic state. the last thing is the same conflict to break out in yemen. that's a complicated struggle not easily solvable. >> thank you for your time. greatly appreciate it. coming up new fight against

new developments in what's called the worst measles outbreak in california in 15 years. the outbreak that started at disneyland likely spread to a new state. public health officials in oregon confirmed the first case linked to that outbreak. at disneyland they say five employees came down with measles and the park is offering vaccinations to staffers. they say it has spread beyond disney exposures, and they're resorting to drastic measures to

stop the spread. two dozen students have been banned from schools. janet shamlian joins me from huntington beach, california. you have to wonder will other schools follow suit? >> reporter: hard to say, what's happening here illustrates, tamron, level of concern over the outbreak. two dozen students told not to come to class not just for a day or two but until the end of the month simply because they have not been vaccinated against measles. rebecca renfroe is grounded not by her parents but by her school. they told her not to come back for three weeks. >> that's kind of scary, i'm kind of stressed out right now because i don't know what to do when i get back to school. >> reporter: the 15-year-old among two dozen students at huntington beach high school told to stay home. they aren't sick but the school fears they could become ill because none have been vaccinated for measles. >> child might be at school be contagious no one knows it and is spreading the disease to

others. then the disease can take up to 21 days to manifest itself in others that caught it. >> reporter: experts say people without the vaccine are 35 times more likely to contract measles than those that have been vaccinated. >> in 2000 we pretty much eliminated measles, and now we're seeing an upswing, and it has to do with people not getting immunized. >> reporter: 644 measles cases across 27 states in 2014. 455 increase since 2001. the latest outbreak latest started at disneyland is now in mexico, colorado washington utah and oregon. rebecca's parents decided against vaccinating her after her older brother had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine, and their pediatrician recommended against it. >> would you make the same decision again knowing now the situation your daughter is in? >> i would. yes, i would not risk her life for anything. i would rather have her get the

measles than her to not be breathing. >> reporter: so there was just one student here with the measles, but numbers are growing. 19 confirmed cases in orange county. 53 in california. and health officials say those numbers are likely going to rise. back to you. >> janet, thank you very much. coming up the new facebook crackdown. how the site says it will weed out fake posts cluttering your news feed. it is one of the stories we are following. and the state of the union exploded on social media. it prompted 2.6 million tweets and 14 million facebook interactions. coming up see the most viral moment of the night. can you get which one it is? first, the president made history as the first to mention the words lesbian, bisexual and transgender in the address. >> that's why we defend free speech and advocate for political prisoners and con determine the persecution of women or religious minorities or people who are lesbian, gay,

the post speech play by plai nbc senior political editor mark murray. we talked about saying this is more about 2016, passing the baton to the democratic party and potentially hillary clinton. the other highlight from the first read post script is why the speech sounded like a farewell address. >> tamron it is important to know the president still has two years of his presidency. there will be many moments he will be in the spotlight, whether there's a crisis activity foreign affairs situation that end up popping up. as we've seen in the past particularly in 2007 2008 cycle, the political spotlight turns more and more to the next presidential contest where the big main actors are folks running for the presidency not necessarily the incumbent in the white house. given that president obama and his staff may have realized that last night was his one last big opportunity before everyone gets carried away on 2016.

that 2016 starts stealing the spotlight, for him to make his case to 30 million americans to talk about where the country has come in the last six years and where he wants it to go beyond his own presidency. >> and that's of course playing into the legacy part of the conversation and what people in the immediate future as we know with george bush and many presidents, many years later, five or more there's a difference in polling applied to bill clinton as well how people see them at the end of the last term versus how they're seen later on. with that said back to the issue of beyond and what the president is handing to the democratic party, what would be the headline if we had to end the clock at that speech last night? >> tamron a lot had to do with the tax proposals on having tax cuts for the middle class, tax increases for the wealthy. this was the presidential play book in 2012. but all of the big ticket items he talked about, free tuition

for community college, pay sick and maternity leave, these are things the party should campaign on in 2016 and beyond not going to be able to get them done in this republican congress these are things our party should fight for the next time we have unilateral control over washington. >> mark murray thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. fun to follow you on twitter as well last night. twitter and social media played a big role in the state of the union experience as it is being called. this was partly by design. for the first time the white house posted the text of president obama's address on a blog site ahead of the actual speech, allowing viewers to follow along at home as it was delivered. overall, 2.6 million tweets were sent related to the state of the union, the #sotu was used in 1.3 million tweets. the cities with the most state of the union traffic can you

guess them? new york los angeles dallas, and san francisco as you see in this 3d model, tracking online mentions and social media platforms. the most viral moment it came when the president had this exchange, i bet you could guess it with republicans. >> i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda. i know because i won both of them. >> so the hash tag i won both of them quickly became a trending topic on twitter and google most searched things were related to middle class income gas prices how much money the president makes. back with us on his take of the speeches presidential historian allan lichtman. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> i know there were some

critics online concerned with the attention that the president's line of i won both of them, obviously it is one of those spike the football whatever you choose to call it moments, but did it distract from the larger policy roll out, particularly with the domestic issues from tax reform to college? what do you think? >> absolutely not. this speech was not a laundry list of policy proposals. this was a television and social media moment. it was theater, and it was great theater, and the spontaneous moments added to the theater. this was a born again obama, born again in the image of the obama of 2008 who had the magic, who created a mystical bond a special bond with the american people, and how can you tell that? not just from the tweets in social media but from faces in the congress.

the democrats looked like they were attending a revival meeting, the republicans looked like they were going to a funeral. >> speaking of faces, the faces of those engaged the most according to demographics information, women, 35 to 49 men 45 to 49 men 18 to 49 women 18 to 34 and men over 50. so at the top of the list, women and men, 35 to 49 according to facebook. those are the most engaged. and obviously the most impacted by these things laid out by the president. >> exactly. that's the demographic you've got to reach. of course you want to inspire young people. you want young people to get involved, and democrats do well among young people but it is that middle range that's the bread and butter of politics and those are the folks who have their aspirations looking forward, who have most to gain

by things like a tax cut, by repair of our terribly crumbling infrastructure, and they're still young enough to be worried about the impact of climate change which let's not forget president obama said was perhaps our greatest challenge of the 21st century, and he is going to try to do whatever he can, and so far the republicans have been sitting on their hands. >> on the other side senator rand paul had one of the top retweets. he put mr. president, you can't wave a magic wand and declare something free someone has to pay for it. that's been retweeted over 6,000 times. >> everything has to be paid for. you're absolutely right. even with uncle sam, who can print all the money he wants. in the end you still have to pay for it. obama suggested how you would pay for it. may not be popular with republicans, but he said who has benefitted most not just from this economic recovery from the entire american economy since ronald reagan was elected in

1980. top 1% top 5% top 10%. it is about time those people pay their fair share, and keep the economy going, help the vast american middle class who by the way have transferred not knowingly or wittingly but through this redistribution of income trillions, i mean trillions in dollars have been transferred from the 90% to 10%. >> thank you for your enthusiasm and dialogue out there. >> thank you. coming up the nfl deflate-gate widens. a new report says 11 of the 12 footballs provided by the new england patriots were deflated. up next the new fallout, less than two weeks before the super bowl. they challenge us. they take us to worlds full of heroes and titans. for respawn, building the best interactive entertainment begins with the cloud.

big disappointment. >> overnight, chris more ten son citing league sources in a report not verified by nbc news saying the nfl found 11 out of 12 patriots game day balls were significantly less inflated than required, by two pounds. the league now trying to determine just how it happened. >> this initial findings doesn't feel good to anybody. >> the colts reportedly grew suspicious after a line backer intercepted from quarterback tom brady late in the second quarter. the team relaying info to league officials. brady was asked about the report monday. >> would you care to weigh in on that. ? >> i think i've heard it all at this point. >> overnight, the boston ton globe says they were informed of the league initial findings patriots saying we have been in complete cooperation with the league and will continue to do so. if the patriots are found to have deliberately doctored footballs, the nfl could fine the organization a minimum of

$25,000 and take away a draft pick. reaction to the espn report came quickly on social media, retired nfl great jerry rice tweeting 11 of 12 balls underinflated. can anyone spell cheating? #justsaying. unrelated to deflate-gate behind the scenes, making the super bowl xlix footballs. >> the nfl is not commenting at this time on the espn report. the doctor shot at a boston hospital has died. topped our look at news around the nation. dr. mike davidson, a cardiac surgeon, died late last night. authorities say the suspect walked in asked for the doctor by name shot him, then killed himself. police say he was not the patient of dr. davidson and they're not sure of the motive. a new york man under arrest

after police say he bulldozed his wife's home without her knowing. james ryan told police he wanted to knock it down because the foundation was crumbling. he tried to get a permit monday but the office was closed so he went ahead and did it himself with a rented bulldozer. his wife's name is on the deed. his wife was upset about it at first but now is over it. facebook says it is going to crackdown on viral hoaxes in your news feed. it added an option to report stories like you would report spam, for example, and the feed will take note of how many times the post is flagged. the story won't be removed, but distribution will be reduced and appear with a warning note. up next "newsnation" gut check. police are now using technology that can see up to 50 feet behind walls without a warrant. should you be concerned about it? we will tell you how to weigh in. 0 calorie black cherry greek yogurt tastes best. definitely that one.

that one's delicious. it's yoplait! what? i love yoplait! the other one is chobani. really. i like this one better. yoplait wins again! take the taste-off for yourself. congratulations. you're down with crestor. yes! when diet and exercise aren't enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects. i'm down with crestor! make your move. ask your doctor about crestor. i'm jerry bell the second. and i'm jerry bell the third. i'm like a big bear and he's my little cub. this little guy is non-stop. he's always hanging out with his friends. you've got to be prepared to sit at the edge of your seat and be ready to get up. there's no "deep couch sitting." definitely not good for my back. this is the part i really don't like right here.

this is kind of fun. that comes from my floor? eww! this is deep couch sitting. [jerry bell iii] deep couch sitting!

time now for the "news nation" gut check. new concerns about privacy and whether authorities are going too far to fight crime. dozens of law enforcement agencies are now using special radar systems that allow them to see inside your home without a warrant. but is it legal? nbc's kerry sanders is here to show us how it all works. >> tamron if you're a fugitive hiding inside a house, a police officer might be able to see you by taking a peek through the window, but if the curtains were closed or if that fugitive were up against the wall it might surprise you to find that police can still see you because like superman they can now see through walls. it sounds like science fiction, but what the inventor has come up with is a real-life x-ray vision that can see up to 50 feet behind walls.

so i'm hiding behind this wall. you can't see me. >> not visually. i see you between the wall echo and another echo over in the room. >> so if i was somebody running from the police and i was exhausted, what do you see there? >> well i see the res pir ration signature very large at this point. >> should i be afraid it's that easy for you to use the electronics to see through a wall? >> i don't think so. >> but when u.s. marshals in wichita, kansas used a hand held version of the radar like this one to find a fugitive inside a home it raised questions. without a search warrant, is this technology unconstitutional snooping? >> we believe that a device like this that allows the police to peer into people's living rooms, to look into people's homes is an inherently creepy technology particularly because it can be used without the people who it's being targeted at ever taking

place. >> an estimated 50 police agencies have quietly equipped their officers with these radar systems. the company that made the equipment shared this video. the military has used this equipment in iraq and afghanistan. it's even been used to try to find survivors buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings. >> i think it's great. i hope it saves the lives of many officers. >> the radar units now used are about the size of this stud finder. in the kansas case where it looked through the wall, the federal appeals court said it was a legal arrest of that fugitive without a search warrant. but the courts also determined that more attention is needed to look at how this technology is being deployed. tamron? >> all right. so what does your gut tell you? do you think police should be able to use radar devices without a warrant? and as you heard, officials say they are critical when it comes to keeping police officers safe but some are worried about

and they're adding to the speculation. and yemen on edge. the president of the key u.s. ally is apparently being held captive right now in his own home. what this means for the fight against al qaeda. >> it's al qaeda in the arabian peninsula that's based in yemen. it's from aqap that almost all of the successful inspired attacks against the homeland in the united states have occurred. good wednesday. i'm peter alexander in washington, in for anndree andrea mitchell. president obama provided democrats with a road map for the next two years and beyond in his state of the union address, rallying his party with a little improvisation to boot. >> i have no more
