let's get a reality check now on what the president will say and what he can actually get done. joining me now, "washington post" political reporter nia-malika henderson and resident fellow, bill schneider. bill, i'll start with you. you argue that of the two main issues on the president's plate, immigration and gun control, he has a much better shot at making progress in immigration. why? >> because his party is solidly behind him on immigration and republicans are scared to death of that issue because that's one of the reasons why they did so badly in the election last year. on guns, democrats are split and the republicans are solidly against it. so, on those two issues, i'd say he stands a much better chance of getting some progress on the immigration issue. >> but we do think at this particular juncture that he does get something done on gun control, correct? >> i think he might very well get some progress on background checks, maybe on limits on magazine sales, but very unlikely to see much action on an assault weapons ban. >> nia-malika, let's talk about immigration for a second. house majority leader eric
