. >> david gregory has the latest. >> thanks for joining us david. we have been following the small shooting. gun control debate is reignited. this is something the president had in the state of the union last we're. do we expect that? >> yo expect that to be major emphasis at all. he'd like it to be. he was disappointed when his efforts to get more gun safety laws didn't pass at the federal level. i think more of the action is at the state level to see if there are gains made. at the federal level on congress it's too difficult at the moment. >> what do you expect him to hit hard tuesday. >> >> you mentioned health care. wants to talk about economic recovery, those left behind, income, raising the minimum wage, preschool, education, those things. he'll look at areas he has a shot getting things done with congress. he had a bad year last year. he has a bad environment around the budget, immigration picking up. he's got things to work with. my big question is how much influence does he have? that's the tough question. >> another thing we can bank on i

you said this in 2014 chuck todd replacing david gregory at meet the press. of course, nbc recently signing david gregory to a new contract, not recently, but not that long ago. are you saying you wish chuck todd will get the job or you think that he might? >> i think "meet the press" is now at a 20-year low in terms of the demo. i think it constantly trail face the nation. with all the cuts that is being talked about in terms of washington, that show may be cut altogether is what i'm hearing. joe scarbourough, maybe take the senior white house correspondent chuck todd and put him in the place of david gregory. >> no way meet the press goes away. i agree. >> jay leno, who does his last "tonight show" next month, there's fog to be a cable show? >> i think given the past relationship with mark zuckerberg, i can see jay leno going to cnn. fox is going to have a say in that, fox tv, as well. who gets jay leno's services? >> all right. the fun about these predictions are maybe they're going to come true or maybe a year from now we play the tape. >> thank you. >>>

david gregory, the moderator of "meet the press" on sunday's on nbc, and david axelrod is a former adviserdent obama and msnbc senior analyst. david, i want to start with you. as a democrat, it seems to me that the democrats are enjoying this for the reasons i would suspect is that they suspect he might be the toughest republican candidate for president in a general election. he gets knocked off, then they only have to face at best maybe scott walker, if jeb bush gets back in the game, of course, but probably face a right-winger who they think they can beat. >> you know, for all the reasons that very few republicans stood up, christie has some broader appeal as a candidate. he is somewhat independent of the kind of most strident right-wing voices in the party. just the day before he got into trouble signed a dream act in new jersey. these kinds of things enrage the base of the party. but they make him a more appealing candidate nationally. so yes, he was an attractive and may well yet be, chris. i'm not in the camp that says the guy is done. i think if any of these threads get pulled as yo

david gregory, good morning. "the washington post" reported automatic enrollment failed for 100,000 for those that qualify for medicaid or chip but we hear stories of people who had success. any idea what 2014 holds for the future of the president's signature legislative achievement so far? >> the expectation is how many people will sign up. the numbers are important because to really sustain the system, to make sure prices stay reasonable they have to have about 7 million. that's what hhs secretary sebelius says. 7 million people actually enroll in health care. a lot of questions what's the impact on cost. what do consumers do with the insurance. what's the impact on quality. policy will unravel even though it stays as a hot political issue especially with the mid-terms coming up. >> president back in the oval office tomorrow. what are some of the other big ticket items on his agenda? >> i would look at the economy. this is promising to be a goodyear for the economy. 2014, economic growth, the stock market. the

last summer, david gregory raised this issue when he interviewed glenn greenwald. >> to the extent youave aided and abetted snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn't you be charged with a crime? i think it is pretty extraordinary that anybody who calls himself a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalist should be charged with felonies. if you want to embrace that theory, it means every investigative journalist in the u.s. who works with their sources, receives classified information, is a criminal. it is precisely those theories and that climate that has become so menacing in the u.s. >> that was glenn greenwald speaking on "meet the press" on nbc to david gregory over the summer. since greenwald could not attend wally shawn's play in new york, well, wally took the play to him in brazil. to speak more about the artistic solidarity, we're joined by wally shawn, noted stage and screen actor, mainstay on the new york theater scene, written numerous plays including "the fever," "grasses of a thousand colors." wally shawn had also celebrated acting rol

that would include nbc's andrea mitchell and david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." david, given that grim backdrop, what's the republicans' kind of advance response to what we're going to hear tonight? >> they fired shots across the bough. if the president wants to go around the law and try to trample us, he's going to run into a brick wall. at the same time, the speaker says that republicans have got to become more of a party of better ideas, better solutions. they're thinking a lot about their game plan. still going to be a lot of health care. they still want to make a big push on health care. this is an election year after all. >> andrea mitchell, if you assume the state of the union is a wish list, let's consider the disconnect given what politics are between the president's wish list and what he will conceivably get. >> well, just look at what happened last year. by some counts, he had 41 acts of congress and only got two. one was the debt ceiling, after that devastating government shutdown, one was the violence against women act. he is going to, i'm told, ask f

. >> so david gregory, to coin a phrase, this is our country. how much longer do we put up with, you know, a decade of pessimism about our direction? what is going to happen? >> well, and it's so interesting because the economy is getting better. that's what this president had to do. he had to make the economy better, yet he is not getting a lot of credit for it. chuck is exactly right in terms of what he is describing, yet the president has over a thousand days in his term. because as you mentioned 2013 was such a bad year for him, there is a question about how much persuasive punch he has left. he is doing all these executive orders tonight. well, republicans in congress are saying you're going to have a real fight if you try to trample on us. so we've got some real difficulties here. and this is an election year, brian. so he's got to frame not just what he is for, but what his party is for. democrats i talked to today are desperate for him to go on offense, to defend obamacare, stop apologizing, to pivot, to pocketbook issues for the middle
