that is why they needed guantanamo bay. we had the president of the united states send a message to the world that indefinitely detention in guantanamo bay, indefinite detention in guantanamo bay is okay with the notion of the american justice system. that is a failure on every level and i was so disappointed to see that strain, that moral ethical and legal strain continues. i work in guantanamo bay, at one point it was a necessary evil, now it is not necessary any more. it is just evil. >> wendy sherman, where are we when you think about national security, when most people say what are you most worried about, things going on and experts tell me north korea, the middle east exploding, the -- the really serious international and national security matters. where are we compared to a year ago? >> i think we're in a much more dangerous place. i believe in strength. i believe in power. i believe in a credible threat of force. but i believe in using all of the tools in the tool box and i believe in diplomacy. we only should use m

you were just talking about guantanamo. i think one of the ugliest moments was when the president cheered on his move to move the capital -- the embassy to jerusalem. along with reopening gitmo for business. you had the republican party, let's not forget trump is the head of the republican party, cheering on defiance of international law and human rights. i think that was the telltale moment because that is what this a administration is about on the foreign policy front. he is a false populist. f no reactionary populist, but a populist. last night was littered with broken promises even as he promised war. i'm not going to hold my breath for lower drug prices, which he spoke of. i'm not going to hold my breath for more treatment of an opioid crisis come up which as you probably know in 2016 there were more opioid overdoses than combat deaths in vietnam. and he has scammed the american people with a tax cut. i know you're talked a lot about it on this program, which was essentially a handout to the corporations a big into his

bush were all in favor of closing guantanamo. it's something that congressional republicans stopped from happening. but when the president's talking about keeping that open now, you have to keep in mind how we got here. nobody has been sent to guantanamo since 2008, which is ten years ago. the dwindling population of prisoners there has no relationship whatsoever to anything about the trump presidency or even the obama presidency before it. so for congressional republicans to be cheering that as a big national security advance feels to me like some sort of relic dug up on some sort of corrupted archaeological site. it's a really strange thing. >> sending new people to guantanamo, though. that was the context. >> and he hasn't. >> yeah. >> rachel, one thing i wondered about. americans don't like north korea. we are always seeing pictures of those people goose-stepping past their capital with all their artillery. we don't like them. we have never liked them. why did he stoke the fires tonight? why did he bring out the really tough

but he ended up not doing so so mr trance state means on guantanamo to keep it open and in the kind of descriptions and words he uses to describe the detainees in guantanamo has been in line with his you know other statements previously so it's not so not a surprise that he doesn't intend to close down guantanamo i mean iran figured high in his state of the union address along with north korea and cuba he has to deal with the e.u. and the u.n. in terms of this terrible nuclear deal that he keeps going on about. he has set his own course in terms of implementing his own form of sanctions unilaterally i mean what effect does this have diplomatically because it's a nonstarter in terms of both sides about how you negotiate this issue i mean basically we didn't hear much about iran and not much about iran policy there have been working groups between the united states and the european union going going on now for a few days to address the issues of concern for the tribe administration and so basically his statements on iran policy were not concrete. this is also strengthening the u.s. ha

we also heard about guantanamo.his is a new policy but significantly it is a reversal of an old policy that was going to close guantanamo. >> i'm not sure it will have much of a difference. most of the isis fighters they are capturing are being captured by syrian defense. it is difficult to close guantanamo. the challenge was always to close it. >> it is a good talking point for him. >> it projects this toughness. i think the criticism is that 16 years after phone line 11 you haven't had the conspirators brought to trial. they have tried and convicted thousands in the same time. the effectiveness is what's being called to question. >> yeah. and president obama was to sign an executive order to close guantanamo. >> this is in line with everything president trump has said and done for the last year which is did obama do that? let me do the other thing. >> were you surprised he didn't talk more about afghanistan? >> not really. the president hasn't made it a cornerstone of his presidency. he hasn't visited. you had oth

>> i'm not aware of any administration plans with respect to guantÁnamo.can tell you it's still around. >> thank you. i'm hoping you can explain some of your logic because you talked about immigration system and reforming the immigration system to protect americans in the united states. but a lot of the crimes that you are using as examples to justify changing immigration system are crimes that were attempted crimes or would have taken place outside of the united states, people wanting to travel outside the united states to like providing support to fighters outside of the united states. .. committing more crimes inside the united states? some better example than what you are trying to say? >> a few points to that. this is the first iteration of this report and response to the executive orders directors and to working together with the hs expect to have more specifics and address some of these in the initial report in future iterations of this report. in terms of the cases that are reported, if you look at the cases, some of which are included in the secti

so he tweets them on cuba, on iran, often guantanamo bay, on standing for the national anthem and littanythings onim grap grapgs immigration. he didn't mention africa or europe place where's there could be some kind of unity. don't think the democrats felt he put out an olive branch to them. >> meghan, the president is calling for bipartisan bill on immigration seen a lot of democrats wearing black and folded arms tonight can i speech like that tonight can impact talks. >> yeah i was surprised. i was expecting a unification on daca given the government shut down and controversy surrounding it in the past week or so. but should be an easy lay up for democrats and republicans and tonight is a step back i'm disappointed to see. as said earlier, 84% of americans support the dream act. so i was little disappointed. >> matthew, you met with the president about 20 minutes earlier today, was this the speak you expected to hear based on your conversation with him earlier. >> it wasn't the speech i suggested he might want to give and actions he might want to follow it up. the unfortunate thing i ag

you had just returned from guantÁnamo bay. >> this sound like a long time ago. >> it does.u made the point in closing the, when are we going to get the new residence in guantÁnamo. >> well, i can answer that. one of the worst things about being cia director is your out. here is what from my perspective now from here is what i can tell you. for the cia, what is important is if we are going to take on networks, we need the opportunity to engage with individuals whom have been pulled from the battlefield. we need to make sure that time, this phase, the capacity to take on board the information these individuals may well assess. and so, u.s. government policy if we are serious about these sites must reflect that. we have to make sure that not just the cia, the dod in all of the others who have parked in the counterterrorism fight have that opportunity. i am working diligently inside the administration to make sure we have that. how congress will definitely have his say here. we have a set of rules for interrogation purposes. we have detention purposes. dod has the authority. th

arguably one of the most important announcements of the night keeping guantanamo bay open in the past we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists. only to meet them again on the battlefield including the isis leader al baghdadi who we captured who we had who we released. so today i'm keeping another promise i just signed prior to walking in an order directing secretary mabus to reexamine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in guantanamo bay. so he's going back on obama's policy but on foreign policy there was plenty of american exceptionalism mixed with platitudes and cliche's he introduced the subject by naming every so-called threat to the u.s. but in general it was all pretty vague he didn't go into detail explaining how he would accomplish any of these goals but beyond that trump took credit for eliminating i says and he seemed to have hinted at continued military presence in the region saying quote we will continue our fight until isis is defeated he ended it with north korea calling it the worst of all dictatorship

the president sounding a lot of notes, calling for guantanamo bay, ordering guantanamo bay military prison to remain open. he extended a hand across the aisle to democrats to invite them to negotiate on immigration. he got bipartisan applause when he talked about an infrastructure bill. he ripped the regime in north korea. and he managed to even take a swipe at the nfl without naming the nfl, over the national anthem. we're back with our panel, savannah guthrie, chuck todd, andrea mitchell, megyn kelly, and tom brokaw, good to have you all. let's go around the horn. >> i thought in terms of tone, the president did what he said it was going to be. it was optimistic, it was bright, it was conciliatory. in terms of substance, i don't know, when you look at some of the specifics on immigration, for example. i mean, he definitely led with the issues that come up with regard to crime, ms-13, it was heavy on that, he didn't get to the dreamers until the end. the state of the union, in terms of what he had to do, i think he did it. he set a tone and he was positive and he trumpeted the economy. an

he also said he would keep guantanamo bay open. joe kennedy, the great—nephew of president kennedy, gave the official response for the democrats. he condemned what he called the chaos of the last year and attacked the administration for its policies on the environment, civil rights and the economy. he said too many voices were not being heard. now on bbc news, a look back at tuesday in parliament. hello and welcome to the programme, where mps demand to see leaked documents which reportedly show the uk will be worse off after brexit. for the government to not publish this is deeply irresponsible and dishonest. this is a cover—up, pure and simple and it stinks. we have an analysis which is involving continuing. but this economic analysis is not an impact assessment. meanwhile in the lords, peers begin two days of debate on the eu withdrawal bill, a former brexit minister calls for more clarity in the government's position. at this pivotal moment in our history, we cannot, we must not, indulge in that very british habit ofjust muddlin
