are just five days away from super bowl v. we can tell you the eagles will hold their first practice here in minnesota tomorrow. we will hear more from eagles players come up a little bit later on this mash up with the patriots. that coming up in just a moment. for now let's send is back to the nbc studios in philadelphia. meantime our top story tonight here at home, president trump talking directly to the nation in his first state of the union address. he tried to push for unity calling this a new american moment. >> we all share the same home, the same heart, the same destiny and the same great american flag. >> we sent nbc 10's lorren make to washington, d.c. he really hit a lot of the issues you told

us to expect earlier today. >> reporter: he did, jim. there were some unexpected points here. the keeping open the guantanamo bay detention center, keeping down drug costs, but issues like immigration continue to dominate as the president makes his pitch for unity. >> the president of the united states. >> reporter: at his first state of the union address, president donald trump calling this a new american moment. >> so to every citizen watching at home tonight no matter where you've been or where you've come from, this is your time. >> reporter: the president ticking off achievements from his first year from taxes -- >> in april this will be the last time you will ever file under the old and very broken system, and millions of americans will have more take-home pay starting next month. a lot more. >> reporter: -- to health care.

>> we repealed the core of the disastrous obamacare. the individual mandate is now gone. >> reporter: that getting a mixed reaction in a divided chamber on a night when the president made multiple appeals for bipartisanship on things like infrastructure. but immigration, the disagreement still clear. >> under the current broken system a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives. under our plan we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children. >> reporter: division despite the president's appeal for common ground. and the democrats chose congressman joe kennedy to give their response tonight. he had some very critical words for the president saying, quote,

this administration isn't just tarting the laws that protect us, they are targeting the very idea that we are all worthy of protection. and just a few moments ago i spoke with local lawmakers on both sides of the aisle about their reaction to the president's speech. take a listen. >> it's one thing to talk the talk. but you also need to follow it up with actions. and on infrastructure, on middle class job development, on initiatives that raise real wages we have seen precious little from this white house. >> said all the right things tonight, but the question is is there going to be a follow-up and will there be the right tone? that's really important. it's not just the position and but the tone is very important, too. so that's what we're hoping he can standby. >> reporter: and another big question as things like the issue of immigration goes forward is whether the president going to work just within his own framework or whether he will

be willing to make concessions as he did tonight, make those appeals for bipartisanship. live in washington, d.c., lime lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. >> we appreciate it. and whenever big news is happening in washington count on nbc 10 to be there covering it for you. the super bowl buzz intensifying here in minneapolis, minnesota, this evening. eagles fans are already showing up enfull force hoping to make the super bowl really feel like a home game for the birds. because we travel and we hope to fill u.s. bank stadium. let's take a look right now at u.s. bank, home of super bowl lii. the eagles and the patriots will face-off here just five days from now. anticipation is building. tonight eagles running back

francis. thank you for that. philadelphia police are gearing up to keep everyone safe on sunday, when people will be celebrating what we hope is an eagles super bowl win. but this time around the plan won't involve chrisco. the police commissioner says they are using something different this time around. >> i can't tell you that there won't still be attempts. but i just will suspect some of them will be far more difficult than they were with the cristco attempt. >> he hopes everyone will celebrate responsibly. nbc 10, your official eagles station is the only place you can watch super bowl lii. and here you will find coverage
