gave this year's democratic response. i think a lot of folks thinking again, oh, my gosh, those kennedys again and how powerful and what a statement. and how his statement really was about humanity. that, too, is a constant threat in the kennedy family. >> absolutely. the kennedys were liberals, but what you hear is what you sort of hear a lot from the pope, like the catholicism that was working against jfk, and certainly in the "new york times" on the eve of the election said that will be the wild card. we don't know how this will play out, the same way people didn't know how trump being a celebrity host would play out, how obama would play out. it was the great surprise. >> it was a surprise, indeed. alexis ko, thank you very much. there are lots of surprises in this documentary. you don't want to miss it. "the kennedys" premieres this sunday. thank you for being with us. i'm fredricka whitfield. "inside politics" with john king begins right now.

welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. thank you for sharing yet another remarkable news day with us. forget fire and fury. president trump agrees to a summit with north korea's kim jong-un. it's a huge gamble. plus a warning from the attorney representing stormy daniels. he says the film industry has examples that she's eager to make public and the white house has a cover-up. as we're waiting to hear from florida's governor about gun control, newly released tapes remind us of parkland's horror and a mother's panic. >> what is she saying and what is happening? >> someone just entered the room. >> okay. who is it that entered the room? >> are they the police? >> stay together, i love you, i love you. it's mom. >> is it the police? >> no, it's the police. it's okay, it's okay.

it's the police. they said put your hands up. >> i love you, i love you. it's going to be fine. can you hide somewhere? can you play dead? >> we'll begin the hour with the biggest wow of the trump presidency. this one with life or death stakes. the president now accepting an invitation to meet with the unpredictable dictator of north korea. a president has long mocked the idea of negotiating with president kim jong-un. but there is good reason to say yes. for starters, nothing else has worked for years, and north korea now has missiles capable of reaching the united states. plus rex tillerson sold this to the president saying they have key demands. no more missile or nuclear tests as long as diplomacy is ongoing. no easing of sanctions and no up-front demand that the united states and south korea stop their planned joint military exercises. a giant opportunity for the

president and a huge gamble. putting the american president in the same room with a north korean dictator is a first and a propaganda bonanza for a young leader who craves nobility and global power. they also negotiate the day and the place to make history. let's start with cnn's jeff zeleny at the white house. jeff, how did we get to lockfrod and loaded to let's talk? >> it would be one thing if there were things behind the scenes that we didn't know about, that this was an ongoing set of negotiations, but that's not true. this came together very quickly with the south korea delegation. the president heard they were in the west wing. he wanted a meeting with them, and then shortly after 5:00 yesterday, he came into the briefing room with a smile on his face, and he said, stay

tuned for this announcement at 7:00. so john, this is very much a seat of the pants decision by this president, but his rhetoric has been shifting over the last several months. we saw earlier this week he said he thought they were sincere in their efforts. so we went from fire and fury eight months ago to this now. so, john, we'll see what happens. >> they need to pick a time and a day. they need to pick a place. do we have any sense -- one of the questions a lot of people watching this say trump and kim at the table, who will be on the president's team? is it secretary tillerson, national security adviser general mcmaster? who is it? >> we don't know the answer to that. general mcmaster is traveling to africa and he didn't know this was happening. this is why the battle between the state department has to

happen because these are not key positions. this is why this has to happen quickly. this is all on the president and certainly the highest stakes diplomacy he's ever engaged in. >> let's head now across to asia, to seoul. paula, some skepticism here in the united states. what is the reaction in korea, north and south? >> reporter: i think it sums it up from south korea president moon jae-in, this is a miraculous event, almost as if he wasn't expecting anything to be set up so quickly. it's not a surprise it generally takes them about 24 hours to react to anything. they're not as quick as we are. going back to moon's statement, kim jong-un's sister came down to south korea to stop these talks during the winter olympics. i spoke to officials inside those meetings, and they said it

was north korea who is really trying to push this forward and saying, they have to move do this. it's very clear north korea is driving this forward. when you think about the two men, kim jong-un and donald trump, just a couple months ago were talking about destroying each other's country, personal snul insults, and now they may sit down together. john? >> abby phil lip, michael share with the "new york times," david sanger with the "new york times." david, i want to start with you. we've spent some time together over the years. the president says, no, you don't meet with the leader until you have some basics. the president doesn't meet with a head of state 99 times out of 100 unless you've negotiated

everything, if not everything. these are two different leaders, two different issues. but a smart idea for the president snt. so the concept here would be start with some general agreement between two leaders both of them are the only two that can save the world from this possible conflagration. the difficulty is the details here are vastly more complex than, say, the details in the iran nuclear deal that the president has been so critical of. iran never had nuclear weapons. we don't even know what will

happen here. >> there is no debate, we'll show you a graphic of the recent nuclear test. there is a debate of how good their missile testing is. but it's indisputable and this is how president trump is different from barack obama. north korea can launch a missile, they can get inside those lanes. the sproshlt -- the president is proud of his negotiating powers. he's the only one who can do this. are they confident. what are you going to do? take concrete steps and steps back were. >> i think it's important what jeff said, which is the lack of any apparent planning for this. i was over at the white house

last night when the south korean national security adviser made the announcement. we all went up to sarah sanders' office. it was almost a kforay, and i think the big fear was, after watching the iran negotiations over many, many, many months -- the great fear will be that the two of them will get into this room and president trump has no idea -- she got a shoot from the hip kind of moment. that's a challenge when the stakes are so high. . given the stakes, given the moment, take the chance but be

careful. >> i think this is a great opportunity here to maybe profoundly change the seven-decade-long paradigm on the peninsula of abjekt animosity. that said, i get it about skepticism. we've been through this movie before, but it's a huge opportunity. i would counsel, for what it's worth, the object for this meeting be fairly modest. >> every time there's been an agreement, they have cheated. the agreements that were negotiated were negotiated with his father, not with him. how do they view this at the white house and is the president's own staff fully on board here or are they worried? >> i think they don't know where this is going to go or how it's going to go. i'm not just saying that lightly. i think they genuinely.

they feel like this meeting may not ever happen because it may just not materialize to what's advantageous in the united states. but once the president gets in his mind to do something, he'll probably not pursue it. they're moving day to day on it, and the other thing about trump is he often approaches his relationships with other world leaders, just the sheer force of his personality will be able to broach these sort of vexing problems his predecessors have been unable to solve. that's a whole lot more than just his gut feeling that he'll be able to reach some solid ground with these people. kim jong-un sort of has some feelings for him on a personal

level. that's one of the reasons why it was probably a spur of the moment thing to say, yeah, i'm willing to sit down in a room with this guy because i think we can have some kind of relationship that can resolve these problems that everybody else has not been able to solve. >> yes. >> it sound like the north koreans took that into this calculus. there was a "washington post" story that are will reached out asking questions about the trump presidency. they even apparently read michael wolf's book, "fire and fury." they clearly wanted to tap into that to see if they could something with trump that they couldn't get from obama and they couldn't get from bush. we've seen some cautious optimism on this. lindsey graham came out last night and said he is glad to see the de-escalation of tensions from trump calling him little

rocket man to the northeastern dictator calling him little. but some are really cautious on this and they're not sure it's going to work. they say, go for it, mr. president. mr. obama was called an idiot for not approaching it during his tenure. we'll continue this later a little later in the program. jobs, jobs, jobs. the latest report of the trump presidency. never settle for 25%. always go for 100. bring out the bold™ your heart doesn't only belong ♪to you. bye grandpa. and if you have heart failure,

unemployment rising at 4.1%. >> a real strong jobs report. 313,000 new jobs since february. that's the most since the summer of 2016 and december and january revised higher to about 100,000 jobs. unemployment stays steady at 1.4%. why did it go down if you had all these new jobs created? because people were coming into the labor market. still hearing good news about a job market recovering. unemployment rate steady here. sectors across the board, john. construction, retail, manufacturing, even some in mining, also in health care. that has been a very strong part of the market here. so what i would say the takeaway from this, wages only 2.6%. you're not seeing it yet in the paychecks, necessarily, this strong jobs market, but in job creation, another great month. john? >> appreciate that. christine romans, thank you.

congressional republicans rushed to make the case that their tax cut is playing a big role. but with their celebration, a big worry that the president is raining on their parade. ignoring appeals from global allies, he's rolling out his tariff on steel and aluminum. it exempts canada and mexico and allows other allies to petition for similar exemption. it's a tough asset in an election year, and to think their own president is undermining that. >> i talked to a small brewery in colorado. they'll see significant, significant advantages as a result of the tax cuts. they actually hired more people this week because the money they saved through the tax cuts. but they're worried about the aluminum tariffs and what that would do to offset the good that the tax cuts did. >> adviser of the boston globe joins the conversation.

matt, this is just a fresh example. republicans want to talk tax cuts, they want to talk strong economy and they want the president to essentially be quiet and do nothing else. no stormy daniels, no staffing chaos and certainly no tariffs that they think could impact economic growth and hurt their o only good story here. >> he does have some good news to tout, but the message is mix wd t mixed with the tariffs and that highlighted it perfectly how there is great concern among republicans with the tariffs. the president made the announcement, and how is it going to hurt now? we don't know that until we see other countries fully react and fully put their own policies into place, and they're planning to target certain industries and certain areas that inflict the most damage politically to president trump. with bourbon in kentucky and harley-davidson motorcycles in

wisconsin and aspects of florida's economy that could cause a problem. >> so a giant economic story and a fascinating political story, and more proof that this president, if you forgot, is different in many, many ways. you heard senator corbin there. this is ben sass saying, bad policy is still bad policy, and these constant nafta threats are nuts. now, listen here. the president of the united steel workers, a man who supports democrats when it comes to elections, saying thank you. >> donald trump was able to see the steelworker agenda. what he did is what we've been fighting for for more than 30 years, and i think what happened is he's going to have a major impact on our members. it's going to make it very hard for our members to ignore what he just did, and what makes me sad is we've been trying to get democrats to do this for more than 30 years. >> the president thinks just like in 2016, republican

establishment, you're wrong, i'm right. the establishment says this is a midterm year, we don't think so. >> republicans are not just voeb vocalizing their worry, they're actually strategizing to try to stop him. there were talks last night on the hill about what are our options? can we do some legislation to get both parties to stop these tariffs? jeff flake will be doing something like that in the coming days. democrats generally like these sort of protectionist policies, so they're not going to back that. they're hoping the court might say this is not a national security issue and totally knock them down again. probably a long shot. republicans are in for the long haul potentially, on this. >> in the midterm election, you're generally bad when you need your base. in the congressional special election next tuesday, 25 to 30

years ago, that area was steel country. two counties are only a piece of the counties. if you look at the steel jobs in 1927 and look at the steel jobs now, it's much less. until the president can make the case, that number is down, or will the president say, that was yesterday, not today. >> it could be seen as too little too late. there was someone this morning on "new day" talking about how maybe 30 years ago this would have been a great policy that would have been welcomed with open arms. today i think the prospects that it's going to suddenly bring back droves of jobs in these industries is probably more muted, and i think more republicans there are a lot of republicans who are kind of looking at their constituency and saying, my constituency is not necessarily like this pennsylvania district or like

president trump's constituency. they still want me to be a free market republican, so that's one of the reasons they're being so vocal about this. but i also think the risk of president trump is like a ball rolling down the hill. he feels emboldened by steel and aluminum, wants to do tariffs in other industries is the other big risk down the road. for now, tariff policy is like swiss cheese. so many carve-outs now and on the horizon that it may not have the impact that people fear. the white house staff already in turmoil. today, a rocket attorney representing stormy daniels.

need to hear from stormy daniels? >> because cover-ups matter. we have substantial evidence and facts that were not included in the complaint. we're not going to lay all our cards out on the table. >> true, that's a strategic decision. >> i have confidence when that evidence and those facts come to light, the american people are going to conclude that attorney cohen and the white house have not shot straight with them on this issue. >> daniels, whose real name is stephanie clifford, is suing to have her agreement terminated. she ak nocknowledged that sendi text messages to the media, identifying dd, is a pseudonym for donald trump. they want to say the president didn't do this, this is tabloid

fodder, this is television being television. but -- >> they sent sarah sanders out this week with new information on this case hoping this new information would somehow close the door on the story, when in fact it really just bursted it wide open. secondly, we are hearing a lot of finger pointing in the building about who is responsible for this whole mess. some people say it's michael cohen, some people say it is sarah for how she talked about the arbitration agreement. but, of course, there is the president who is at the center of this. i think it is a -- as with many things in this white house -- a slow burn that is always in the background. at the moment it has not consumed the building yet. i hear from a lot of republicans that they find it distasteful but that they feel like as long as we're not in any kind of moni monica lewinsky territory, but

they're getting deeper and deeper. >> there was a lawsuit filed on president clinton which brought a lot of storm to the clinton presidency. even as aides grapple with how to talk about the scandal, nobody the president is not taking responsibility. if he is david dienison, he is responsible, and we know his attorney's signature is on the documents. >> the point you made about the legal case in the lewinsky matter makes this much more problematic for the white house than the myriad of previous ak

significances than those interacting with him. it is the legal proceeding and the potential discovery, the potential information, text messages all these things that could emerge from some kind of ongoing legal proceeding that poses new risks. the people in this white house came into office not understanding how much of that can overshadow what you're trying to do. they learned that in the miller probe and they're beginning to learn that here that you can deny all you want, and the president has denied this sort of underlying allegation that he had an affair with stormy daniels, but it's the legal process that catches up to you. >> ask the question on capitol hill about this and you get the answer, who is stormy?

>> is there a role for congress getting involved in this matter? >> let's just say i'm not responsible for the president whose actions undermine american working families. >> i haven't given this any thought. not on the radar screen. >> i get that the democrats should keep their fingers off. they'll make it political if they touch it. the republicans don't want to talk about stormy daniels. they want to talk about our tax cuts are working, and they know that the president's approval rating is the single biggest factor in success or failure and this story doesn't help. >> it's hard for washington to wrap its head around the fact that politics in washington isn't necessarily what drives them to the ballot.

republicans and democrats on the hill will tell you specifically it's going to be jobs, it's going to be the economy, it's going to be is their paycheck bigger or smaller because of tax reform and that's going to turn them out to have them cast a ballot for republicans or democrats? i think this is an embarrassment for democrats. republicans ought to be relieved they're not going after this right now because they could make this an issue and embarrass the president and hurt the party. >> they don't want to talk about it and they sort of avoided it and president trump won. there is differences now between whether president trump can wrangle this legally, are there fcc violations, or you alluded to the discovery days of did he know about the payments, did he pay other women? questions we don't have answers to yet. but a lot of allegations around

the election happened before the #metoo movement. so the context of these allegations is a little different than the stuff he weathered during the campaign. that will impact those independent voters and voters in swing districts across the country. >> absent the details, there on the ballot, his approval rating the biggest factor. we can't think it's going to help, anyway. this sunday night the premiere of "american dynastied: the kennedys." here's a preview. >> the kennedys understand more than anybody the role of glamour. right now glamour is really the province of hollywood. the kennedys pull it over into the province of politics for the first time in a modern way. and as a result everybody is in love with this family.

>> it is america on the rise, an immigrant country, where anybody could get ahead. if they were smart enough, ambitious enough, anybody could look at the kennedys and see the american dream. >> you can watch this sunday night at 9:00 p.m. on cnn. be back in a minute.

on top of our political radar ned, sam nunberg, doing what he swore he would not do. he's testifying right now in front of the grand jury so he's complying with the robert mueller russia investigation. earlier this week he went on a

media tear saying, no way, he's not testifying. didn't work out that way. the nevada republican might be the most vulnerable senator up for election this year. cnn obtained this audio in which senator helley says something that may keep his job. >> i believe we're going to have another supreme court justice this year. i think kennedy is going to retire sometime early summer. i believe in that case republicans are going to have an opportunity to put another supreme court justice in place. which i'm hoping will get our base a little motivated, because right now they aren't very motivated. >> in just a couple hours, the governor of florida, republican rick scott, has a large media event planned. he's not saying why, but some lawmakers believe he will sign the state gun control bill to

sign into legislature next week. he thinks the bill signing could come soon. >> they raised the age to 21 for the purchase of all guns. my view on that is i'm open to supporting, i said i would support it, as long as it's not shotguns and rifles and the like. i remind everybody in this case he was 19, but in almost all mass shootings, the person was over 21 years of age. >> do you believe the governor will sign that bill? >> i do. i believe he'll sign it today. >> from senator rubio. a big test on the governor. he's been a gun rights governor in a state with a history of gun rights. he's defying the nra if he signs this bill as governor. he's also expected to be a candidate for the united states senate. big deal. >> it addresses some of the major things that have been floated around. raising the age is something controversial that president trump, you know, has talked about doing nationally and is not fully on board with.

so it is kind of a template for what you could see on a national level. >> but it also underscores how frozen and how different the federal government is versus the states, because the federal government is just frozen on this issue, and obviously there is some action. >> he has not announced for the senate race yet. everyone assumes he will run, the president has begged him, urged him to run. polls this week show him trailing but it's margin of error. 42% for rick nelson, the republican. he's defied part of his base here, but they think florida is becoming more and more suburban, so it makes sense, especially in a democratic year, to sign this. >> he's gone further than republicans in the past have gone on this, so he is a test case on whether governors can support gun control measures and not be seen as far out of his league. >> he says kind of tepidly that

he supports most of what's in this, but he's not drawing the kind of line you might expect from someone who has some clarity about what politics are telling him about this today or maybe down the road if he wants to make another run at the presidency. >> the governor in some ways is a test case for a lot of republicans. up next, donald trump claims to be the master deal maker. does his confidence match the reality? patrick woke up with back pain.

but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey! oh, that's my robe. is it? when you switch to liberty mutual, you could save $782 on auto and home insurance. and still get great coverage for you and your family. call for a free quote today. you could save $782 when liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance.

think about it, trump across the table from kim jong-un. history. policy. deals are my art form, he tweeted in 2014. other people paint beautifully or write poetry. i like making deals, preferably big deals.

that's how i get my kicks. his track record as president, though, is worth considering as we weigh the quarterly u.s. summit. a lot of deal-making swagger. >> peace between israel and the palestinians, toughest of all. but i think we have a very good chance and i will certainly devote everything within my heart and within my soul to get that deal made. we are, you probably read the papers, renegotiating nafta. we're renegotiating various other deals with foreign countries that are so embarrassed and so horrendous that you would say, why on earth would anybody have signed a deal like that? >> confidence, yes. results? not so much. nafta, the middle peace deal, add in repeal or replace obamacare or protect the dreamers or getting a border

wall. just the facts as we look at the prospect of what could happen if there is a trump-kim meeting is that he talks about being a great deal maker. he doesn't have a lot of great deals on the trophy case. >> at least not yet. i think the nafta thing, we'll see what happens with that. they're playing hardball on that. i do think that what has happened with trump is that his staff has learned not to really second-guess his gut, in part because he won the election when pretty much all of them thought he was going to lose it. so things like north korea, when he sort of uses the bravado to say i'm going to make this deal and it's going to work, maybe they doubt it but they kind of say in the back of their mind, maybe he's right. we have no idea how he's going to get it done, but maybe he's right. i think that's where we are with trump on a lot of issues. they're kind of in wait and see mode until whatever materializes that might materialize. they've learned not to rule things out with this president. >> i also think his history as a businessman and as president is that he's a good marketer.

but in terms of actually doing deals, even when he's running his businesses, there were some deals but it did not guide his career. his career was as a marketer. and i think we have this idea that he can do deals. he hasn't as president done many big deals. the meeting in north korea could -- that is his ideal situation where the attention is on him, the attention so a potential deal. but history shows us so far that he hasn't been able to close a deal. >> and that's particularly interesting, because, you know, republicans control both chambers of congress right now, and there's a question of after the midterm elections will he be negotiating with democrats when he has a hard time dealing with his own party. tax reform, yes, they'll be negotiating it this fall. obamacare, didn't get that done. infrastructure, didn't touch that. daca deal, didn't do that. i think a lot of this has to do with the fact that republicans

on the hill, when trump says something they disagree with or they don't want to believe, they just sort of say, oh, we can convince him otherwise, we can sort of change his mind. because they think they can change their leader's mind and change directions with him, they don't really listen and they do their own thing, you know. >> they're constantly moving goalposts which is a frustration of anybody negotiating with the president. he had the health care plan and then he called it mean. he said, i'll take this for a daca deal and then he moves the bar. listen to the president here. this is february 2016 in a debate. a criticism of his predecessor when talking about how i do deals. >> with congress you have to get everybody in a room and you have to get them to agree. but you have to get them to agree what you want. and that's part of being a deal maker. you can't leave the white house, go to hawaii and play golf for three weeks and be a real deal maker. it doesn't work that way. you have to get people in, grab them, hug them, kiss them and get the deal done.

>> that's the way to go with the grabbing and hugging. to matt's point, his real strength is marketing. if there is some kind of a deal, some kind of an agreement, arrangement that can be reached in north korea, then the question is, really, can he sell it as something that's a good deal, right? this is what the obama administration tried to do after they negotiated it rthe iran de. there was a huge period of time they had to actually spend energy to convince people that it was a good one. and trump may be actually pretty effective at that. >> it's an interesting point you make because i would deal with the marketing challenge earlier than that. his deal with kim is his only leverage on the world stage. it's his means of survival and the president says he can get

this done. >> what does this look like in comparison with the iran deal? >> that's the goal, how do you sell it as something actually good. >> and the koreans have been going around on this issue. the president thinks he knows about this, but he really doesn't know this issue as well. when he gets to the table, will he know what to trade and what to get out of kim jong-un? it's really an open question. >> you say the prospects of that meeting is 50-50? keep our fingers crossed. next, the newest star possibly come to go netflix? the former president, barack obama. i netflix? the former president, barack obama. ng netflix? the former president, barack obama. netflix? the former president, barack obama. t netflix? the former president, barack obama. o netflix? the former president, barack obama.

but if you're keeping up, you get the sense the former president wants back in the debate. >> we are operating in completely different information universes. if you watch fox news, you are living on a different planet than you are if you, well, listen to npr. >> michael shear, this is your reporting. i wanted the first episode to be, barack watches fox. just turn a camera on him for the rest of the day. >> i'm told by people talking about this story that this is specifically not intended to be a platform for the president to sort of counter-program fox or to be a kind of liberal alternative to the conservative critics or to use it as any kind of plat to remembform to attack. however, if the deal goes through, he'll have a lot of time and opportunity and high
