paul ryan. the center of american progress, and chelsea henry, the republic diversity coalition are still with me, and molly reynolds, one of the things that we have been told to expect tonight, a different kind of state of the union, where the president not only gives a laundry list of proposals, but he's going to talk about new politics. >> if we think of what the state of the union can do for the president, signaling his agenda and what he thinks about, if you look at the legislative agenda, there's not a lot on it. maybe criminal justice reform, and maybe the partnership trade agreement, but not much beyond that. so if we think about what's important to the president, what he wants to signal and what he cares about, his accomplishments of the last seven years, and going forward, a vision for the country, and for voters to return a democrat to the white house, and democrats to come. >> chelsea henry, is the relationship between the president and a republican-dominated congress now so non-functional that there's not of that he has to say to them about what they're going to do together? they're not going to do much
