. >> david corn washington bureau chief for mother joans magazine. and johnalder msnbc political analyst. thank you so much. let's talk about what i think is the biggest issue of the week is whether the president has something in his bag so to speak. something there inside that santa claus sack that's real and concrete and it excites people about the fact that there is something there we didn't know was there. that's my big question. first david, then john. is he going to show us something that's startlingly new this week? . >> my guess is we're not going to see magic unicorns out of that bag. economists can tell you and they've been telling us for the last year and a half or longer there's a lot more that can be done to stimulate the economy to create jobs whether it's a major infrastructure program there are things that could be done that are not politically possible. to me it's not just what he unveils. the question is not the speech. it's what comes after the speech and how hard and how bold he's willing to be in going up against republicans to have this
