unless they get to that, they could get beat. >> dana: juan, tom brokaw, i think he is right.n't go in expecting the way to build. you have to figure out how to build it yourself. do the democrats have a message to do that? >> juan: this race in pennsylvania and it's getting so much attention. you have someone who is a marine veteran, former u.s. attorney. the message that comes from the candidate is almost out of the republican playbook because what you're saying is to our rural district, they voted for trump by 20 points. here is somebody who is going to represent your values. i think this is what we saw from patty schachtner in wisconsin. who said, much to my amazement, at the top of her campaign materials said "former member of the bear hunters association in wisconsin. >> they are saying i care about the opioid crisis. i care about health care for seniors and delivering health care access for seniors. i care about people in this community. we are democrats. i think that's the message that's coming through from connor lam, patty schachtner, i think you're going to see more

tom brokaw, sa vvanna guthrie, andrea mitchell. how does this have legs? a government shut down happened on monday and we didn't even talk about it on sunday. >> that's a condition of our times unfortunately. we have been for a lot of things. here are two events they believe have disappeared from the landscape and i will surprise you, but stop and think about it for a moment. the las vegas mass shooting and the texas shooting. we don't talk about them any more. two of the worst in the country's history, and they're off of the grid. we're not even discussing them. >> is that the era of trump or the gun issue? >> i think it's the era we're living in. it's all of the things coming at you 24/7. stop and think about that, a terrorist attack, conducted by an american. >> the largest in the country, but not even by a dozen, it wasn't even close. >> and i wonder what they're thinking. those that survived and those that lost people. >> we had a report on a valiant survivor that is just starting her rehab and it was so poignant. and savanna, you covered gabby giffo

todd, andrea mitchell, megyn kelly joining us for the first time, great to have you here, and tom brokaw. we'll all be watching closely tonight. savannah, a year ago it wasn't the state of the union, but it was a new president addressing congress. there was so much talk about the bar, looking presidential. that was a year ago. what about tonight? >> a year ago it was big-ticket items getting done and stylistically shocking. we saw some of that in the open to the show. the president has a story to tell. he has a good economy to talk about. he's got the tax cuts he was able to get through. he has the supreme court justice sitting in that audience, that was incredibly important to his supporters. and yet he has an approval rating the lowest of any president at this moment in their tenure. and what's the disconnect? it's donald trump. he has to sell himself tonight. now people have had a year to get to know him. positions calcify. this is one of those rare moments in a presidency when you get a chance to reintroduce yourself. >> chuck, you and i attended a largely off the record luncheon wit

and whiff of watergate as we navigate an unprecedented presidency nbc's tom brokaw sees some historic parallels. >> there's beginning to be a whiff of the tactics in place in this white house we saw during the days of watergate. how it all turns out, i can't say. it's clear the white house is trying to create an alternative reality is how i would describe it. >>> and good day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington where a controversial memo under review at the white house and the deputy fbi director's early exit are dominating the headlines ahead of donald trump's first state of the union address tonight. joining me now msnbc political analyst robert costa, national political reporter at the "washington post." msnbc national security contributor as well as "new york times" washington correspondent michael schmidt, and national political reporter carroll lee. first to you, carroll lee, your reporting on the conversations with andrew mccabe when the president first complained to him after the firing of james comey. this is the backdrop for this forced exit, early exit of andrew mccabe. tell

joining me for insight and analysis are nbc news special correspondent tom brokaw, nbc news capitol hill correspondent ca kasie hunt, rich lowrie and heather mcghee. president of demos. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history. this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> good sunday morning. if this were a normal presidency with a state of the union message coming up in two days, we'd likely be focusing on how the president plans to sell his agenda to the public in a critical mid-term election year. this has not been a normal presidency. it was almost predictable that the president's trip to davos was going to be over shadowed by the story that president trump tried to fire special counsel mueller last fall. also predictable was president trump's response that it was all just fake news. what's not so predictable is what happens next. the attempted firing has prompted many questions. who leaked the story about president trump's intentions and why? why was it so easy for news organizations to match the times

taking credit for a potential deescalation of the crises the dean for darren law school tom brokaw's thinks that the white house has actually only made things worse. moves to have dialogue between north and south korea didn't start a year ago when trump was elected president they've been going on for some time and i think you know the white house has probably something close to nothing to do with this with the steps i think this is something by the efforts of others in him i think here to the white house and help this progress happen that the white house has really done a lot to endanger it and i think it's a credit to both sides in north and south korea that they've got to stick to open talks to open dialogue and and one only hopes for the sake of the people who live on the korean peninsula that some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets come out of from donald trump. despite progress being made on the diplomatic front donald trump hasn't pulled any punches when it comes to his twitter exchanges with the north korean leader this week the insults reached a new level afte

tom brokaw was asked to run, water cronkite was floated as a possible vice presidential candidate witheorge mcgovern in 1972. many years later cronkite said yes he would have done it. and other journalists have run and won for seats in congress. some of them served reasonably well. this is about the nexus of fame and power. of course, they are going to be considered. howie: oprah told bloomberg news backstage she had no plans to run. her friend gail king said maybe she'll run. >> one of the problems with some of the covering, it didn't get into the substance. look at oprah winfrey's campaign donations. she gave to arnold schwarzenegger. she has given money to cory booker who could run in 2020. she has given a lot of money to the dnc and the obama campaign. he having a look at this could be interesting. has she voted in every election. what did the polls say? there was a poll that said she would defeat president trump 50-39 in 2020. but that's obviously an early stage. howie: it's meaningless because no one has been attacking her. and there are no stories about what's her position on ar

with us onset is tom brokaw. you watched that speech. did the president, when we talk about immigration make it easier or harder to get do a deal? >> i think he made it harder for democrats to come across the line. he is holding good cards. he has the house and the senate. in his constituency it's what they wanted to hear out there. it is all about the future of voting constituencies. the hispanic kplcommunity has b rising. there are more of them all of the time. so it is kind of a sub text to this. >> i sat down with a group of dreamers to talk to them about this exact issue. one of the pieces of the conversation, we said they don't have voting rights. how do they mobilize people to support them. is it really a mobilization issue? here is what some of them had to say. i want to talk about them after. >> i want to hear answers. i want to hear something he will do and change every time he has a different feeling. >> it is honestly frustrating hearing that the president changed his mind from one day to the next. >> our lives or important.

with us, tom brokaw.bob dole's career, other than, of course, his honorable service to this country and his sacrifice to this country is the fact that bob dole could be the toughest, sharpest partisan when he needed to be and would just cut to the quick but when it was -- >> i was on the other end of that. >> you were on the other end of it. but when it was time to sit down and make the deal in the best interest of america, he put it aside and did that. >> he was very clever. i remember he came to california in the height of the nixon era and he was going in to talk to the california republicans and i saw the text in advance and it was "take no prisoners." but outside was the press. he was charming and funny and everything and i finally said "wait a minute, senator, this is how you're playing to us, you're not going to let us go in and hear the red meat speech on the other side." and he looked at me and said "you caught me." it was always honesty about him as well. then i think he evolved over the years.
