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

bay detention center open i mean do you expect much opposition to that. you know it's funny because i really don't you think you think that i do because that was actually a big promise that barack obama ran on his campaign and that was that one of his great things that took an eight years to start shutting that down and begin the steps to shutting it down as one of the last things he did as president. and so he really wanted to stand up to that that was a big thing but even during his campaign it didn't come out much media but a lot of democrats were kind of opposed to that it wasn't really this democratic community all behind barack obama wanting to shut down guantanamo bay so i don't really think there's going to be a lot of opposition to that at least not publicly because right now the democrats are more concerned about you know what's going on the fact that a lot of their constituents and i'm talking about democrats in congress now in d.c. a lot more concerned about the fact that their own constituents are getting more money because of these tax refor
