tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN July 6, 2018 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
4:00 pm
up at the white house? it goes to the nature of what we're watching right now. >> for trump, the idea of doing things dramatically and timing them, giving people a build-up like the supreme court thing, he's going to set a time. he has a sense of what works on television. >> and we'll see how that cliff hanger unfolds on money. original series, the 2000s, begins sunday night at 9:00 eastern. can't wait to watch that. thank you very much for watching. erin burnett outfront starts right now. up front next, breaking news, the trump administration will miss the deadline to reunite families. do they even have a plan? plus, the president takes on a new target, a former republican president and the backlash tonight is building. trump crossed a line. breaking news, a high stakes meeting about to begin with secretary of state mike pompeo and kim jong-un. will pompeo return to the u.s.
4:01 pm
empty handed? let's go out front. good evening, i'm jim sciutto in for erin burnett. failing to meet a court order deadline to reunite parents and children separated at the u.s. border. justice department attorneys in court late tonight asking for more time. the administration said it met one court order deadline today to ensure all parents at least speak with their children by telephone. the doj lawyers said it's their belief those calls took place, however, it's the more crucial court order deadlines where the administration admits it is falling short. our next tuesday, children under the age of 5 must be reunited with parents. july 26, the federal judge said all children must be back with their mothers and fathers. today in court, the government
4:02 pm
revealed of the 100 children under the age of 5 in custody, right now, 19 of their parents have already been deported. keep in mind, this is a policy that the administration devised and defended even using the bible at times as justification. but today, the vice president was mum on that front. >> president, separation of the christian thing to do? >> no response but saying has some concerns. the department of health and human services holding a conference call with senators today. democratic senator richard blumenthal said, quote, i'm furious and horrified after immigration conference call, virtually no separated children have been reunified. no system, no plan, no path to assure reunification. no answers to key questions. strategy seems to be blame
4:03 pm
everyone else. brett miguel, i know you've been down on the border for a few days. any evidence that reunions are taking place in numbers? >> reporter: no, not in numbers certainly. we see some indication that certain parents are starting to get out and trying to find their kids but it is a slow unwieldy process and then that first deadline of the under fives, there is no indication at this point that they will make that deadline in total. the government knowing where most of the parents are. as you mention, many of them deported already and we hear from groups with immigrants that two kids have been deported without their parents as well, so a lot of moving pieces in all of this. the government also saying today in court that they're not entirely sure where about 20 parents are. they have about 100 kids under 5 in their care right now and they're not entirely sure where
4:04 pm
about 20 parents are. this is, of course, the same government that has assured us all the way along that they knew exactly where the parents or kids were. the people we're hearing from now that are starting to get out of detention in dribs and drabs saying there's no process. they can't understand it or figure out how to get to the process. these are people who were arrested a month or two months ago. they have no documents, no phone, no access to computers. they have basically just goodwill to go on and they don't have the ability to deal with the process, hhs, for instance, to get the process rolling. it would take weeks to get the paperwork to get the kids back. the phone calls that are supposed to happen today. even that is not clear. the government is up and working but those locked up still and lawyers that some are making regular calls to their kids and
4:05 pm
some talked maybe once or twice the counterproteple of months i detention and even when they do have a conversation, it's typically short, the kids are crying, the parents are crying, tough to have any communications. jim? >> how can you reunite them if you don't know where they are? it's the most basic question. republican congressman mike kaufman of colorado thauchblg f. thank you very much for taking the time, particularly on this difficult issue. >> thank you for having me. >> you, congressman, you yourself have been critical of president's family separation policy as you heard, the trump administration said it's going to miss the most crucial deadlines imposed by the federal judge. they're to reunite the children with mothers and fathers. is that unacceptable to you? >> it was in the first place. separating young children from their parents.
4:06 pm
it's just horrific. such a bad idea to begin with. it's not who we are as a country. it's cruel and immoral. it doesn't surprise me. i've been down to the border and what concerned me, the department of justice and department of homeland security and all the agencies underneath them. so it doesn't, i think the department of human services is taking the lead on this but they really need. i'm hoping and i sent a letter to the white house to this effect to bring a military officer and somebody used to working across maybe different branches of services with foreign allied countries to the united states, on a unified mission. so i think the administration needs to put somebody in charge over all of these agencies to make sure this happens.
4:07 pm
>> it's interesting because it seems like the government doesn't even have the data. it doesn't have the information to track the children and their parents down. the agents, you have secretary yesterday saying the number of children in the custody is under 3,000 but couldn't give an exact number. so the question becomes, do they just not know or are they concealing a lack of progress here? >> it's hard to say. i mean, it's hard to believe them and i think, i went to a detention center and the children were mixed together with those unaccompanied minors crossing the border with those who were for separations. children in the same detention center. so i'm wondering, if, in fact, they're conflating these numbers but it's, you know, they give a bewildering number of explanations as to the numbers
4:08 pm
into this status of the children and the status of the parents. thank god that they stopped separating any more families but i think it will take some time to sort through this mess to get these families together and my guess is they'll miss the next deadline as well by the court. >> early on and i know this is a policy of yourself criticized since the beginning, chief of staff john kelly said the family separation policy was intended as a deterrent. in effect, designed to be painful. to kind of scare people waway from trying to cross the border. i wonder if the lack of a paper trail, keeping track of where the children are, the parents are, does it strike to you as an intentional product of the policy, in other words, they wanted to make it tough, like this, because it was not a priority to reunite these
4:09 pm
families until they were ordered to by the court? >> well, first of all, the fact that these families coming speaks to their desperation which is another issue we have to deal with. in terms of the countries they're coming from, but i think it's probably more about bureaucratic incompetence than it is having all of these disparate agencies with the finger prints over the same policy that this is intentional. >> of course, a lot of these issues are political, right, and the president is trying to appeal to part of his base that, you know, puts all of these immigration issues together and in effect, looks at these families even with their children as part of the problem here. i just wonder, you're a republican and granted, you're in a district close to denver, so probably not the most conservative republican district in the country but do you hear from your constituents or sympathy from these families at the border or do you hear
4:10 pm
toughness and just say, hey, listen, it's their fault? what do you hear what you talk to voters? >> well, certainly, i think for most of americans and most people that i've had communicated with, it's sympathy. i mean, the fact that surely they want to secure our borders and we want to fix our broken immigration system and we want to stop illegal immigration, but we don't want to tear families apart. and it's about, so i think most people are compassionate about keeping families together. >> congressman kaufman, thank you for taking the time and thank you for taking the questions. >> thank you for having me. >> outfront next, several slamming trump for comments some call offensive and uncalled for. did trump cross a line by mocking republican president bush and trump ignites a costly trade war with china, so how is this good for the u.s. economy? i'm going to ask one of the president's top trade advisers.

4:15 pm
of u.s. goods. u.s. is expected to hit china with tariffs on additional $16 billion worth of products in the next few weeks. outfront now is peter navarro, director to the office of trade and manufacturing policy. thank you for taking the time. >> how are you tonight? >> very well. and it's good to have you on to talk about this. big picture here, listen, china's a bad trade actor. unfair to u.s. companies in a host of levels. the real question is about the trade war and what it means for american consumers, economy, et cetera. on that point, when china said the u.s. has started the biggest economic trade war in economic history and vowing to respond tit for tat, do you agree? is that what we're in now? >> that's hyperbole. they don't even acknowledge they steal intellectual property or
4:16 pm
force the transfer of it. and so the issue here is what does america do to defend itself against these egregious practices? i think of this as a trade dispu dispute. the war is long over. that lasted from about 2001 when they joined the world trade organization to the end of the obama administration. we lost over 70,000 factories, over 5 million manufacturing jobs and china became essentially the factory for the world and put people in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, north carolina and all around this country, out of work and the unemployment line. since the president has got in office, he's turned that completely around and part of it is because he's had the tough trade policy. today wasn't the first time to put in on tariffs. we put it on solar, dish washers, steel, aluminum and the numbers today in the economy were off the charts. this economy is just cranking on all cylinders.
4:17 pm
it's because of our trade policy, not in spite of it. >> yes, peter, great job figures today. unemployment rate at 4%, et cetera, but you claimed turned around the trade imbalance. that's not in the numbers yet but appears we're in something and this happens in trade wars. >> we don't, it's a trade dispute. we've had these with japans. >> we'll call it a trade battle. >> okay, battle. stop putting that on the chiron. trade war. >> it's like a game of chicken. you end up in this escalation. in march, you were asked if you expected china would retaliate in response to u.s. tariffs. i want to remind you and your viewers how you responded. >> i don't believe any country in the world is going to retaliate for the simple reason that we are the most lucrative and biggest market in the world. >> china retaliated.
4:18 pm
>> so we are the biggest market in the world. china basically sells us half a trillion dollars of goods a year. we only sell $130 billion. we have the same problem with europe. we run a deficit of $150 billion. all of these countries that are running these large trade surpluses do indeed have much more to lose than we do in this trade dispute. what the president is trying to do simply is to have fair, free reciprocal and balanced trade. the goal is to stand up for the american people here with tariffs and tariffs stimulate investment. they do reduce our deficit over time and will see that in the numbers. >> you said china was not going to respond and in effect, trump's threat would be enough to make him back down but in fact, they're not backing down. >> and china is a sovereign nation. if they want to choose to basically retaliate against what is a legitimate defense of this
4:19 pm
country against their unfair trade practices, they're a sovereign nation and free to do that but it's not going to bother our economy or us and if they try to bully or farmers or anybody else in this country, we're going to stand up for those folks. i think what's important here. >> but just before we do, you made a claim. you made a claim and i want to respond. >> one point to put things in perspective so we don't do crazy on the hyperbole. >> $50 billion in tariffs. 20%. we have close to $120 trillion gdp between the two countries. this is like tiny. >> well, for now. >> has taken measured steps targeted at the industries of the future so that we have a future. so again. >> let's just go on. >> not hyping things up. we're calm. the monthly survey of manufacturers has no effect on
4:20 pm
the economy. the most recent survey of the u.s. manufacturers said the following. u.s. tariff policy and lack of predictability with the threat of trade wars, their words, is causing general business instability and a drag on a growth for investments. those are u.s. manufacturers that are saying already causing a drag. >> yet. in today's data, saw 97% of manufacturers has a positive outlook and my favorite statistic today. i was on the campaign trail with president donald j. trump, couldn't have been more prouder to have been there. in 2017, one in four people between ages 25 and 50 were out of the labor force entirely. just given up. and you know what? we've put back to work almost 1 million of those people, back in the labor force and they're working or looking for work. that's why the labor force participation rate is going up
4:21 pm
and that will be as important as the unemployment rate and the number of jobs created. i'm telling you, jim, this strategy the president has, cutting taxes, deregulation and trade policy including the tariffs, it's just working, and it's working for working men and women who love to watch your show. >> i appreciate it and give you a chance to make your point but i want to focus on the trade issue. you mention the tax cuts, for instance. your former colleague, gary cohen, he's wondering if the trade war could wipe out the benefits of taxes. >> if you end up with a tariff battle, you will end up with price inflation. you could end up with more consumer debt. those are all historic ingredients for an economic slowdown. >> could it wipe out the benefits of the tax bill? >> yes, it could. >> one more data point, if i could just add it, "the new york times" reported the analysis done by the white house's own
4:22 pm
council of economic advisers found that tariffs would hurt economic growth. when you see that data, how do you tell american consumers that the prices won't go up? american investors and manufacturers that their economic outlook won't be raising questions as we saw in the manufacturer's report? how do you respond to that hard data? >> there's a couple of things going on. first of all, good to see gary back in the private sector. we used to have those in the roosevelt room all the time. sometimes in front of the president and the thing i would say to gary back then, i'll say to him now is that the issue with tariffs is they have positive effects as well. they might affect prices a little bit like gary is suggesting but over time, those prices are moderated and the other benefits come in. positive investment. we've seen new steel plants and new aluminum plants and by the way, when you put the tariffs on besides collecting revenues, you'll reduce the trade deficit
4:23 pm
over time. this is why the president is doing what he's doing and this is why the numbers that we're seeing in the data, the numbers don't lie here. confidence is off the charts. manufacturing jobs are off the charts. and it's partly because of the tariff policy, partly because of the tax policy. >> there's some contradictory data and we'll have to see. >> i'm not seeing that. what are we mentioning here? anything, the ism manufacturing off the charts, the ism service sector that came out this week is at historic highs. one of the most things we're proud of in the white house is the fact that latino and african-american employment is at historic highs. unemployment rates are historic lows and that's what we said would happen with the manufacturing base. disproportiona disproportionately, blacks and hispanics got hurt with the trade war with china, putting people out of work across the
4:24 pm
midwest and the rest of this country. >> well. >> it's working for working men and women. >> i'm glad we're having this conversation. you krieltcited the ism. holding back on the trade war. >> it's not stratosphere and it's a log and rhythmic index. when you get up, it's not a linear progression but manufacturing has seen a renaissance like it hasn't seen since the '80s. and it's because of president donald j. trump. we're going to hit 4% possible growth rate this quarter and we haven't seen that since decades. >> we're goeing to have to leav it there. >> i'll talk to you as this unfolds over time. >> we'll do it. president trump mocks president bush angering many republicans but does it work for trump's base? the mission to save the 12 boys trapped in the cave turned
4:25 pm
deadly. is there a safe way to get those boys out? here we are! you don't always use your smartphone to like something. how is it? perfect! who is this? you don't always use it to share something. he's doing it! but when it matters most, you count on tracfone to keep you connected, for less. can you send that to me? yeah. our new smartphone plan gives you talk, text and data with unlimited carryover starting at $15 a month, no contract. all with nationwide 4g lte coverage. get top smartphones or bring your own phone. tracfone. for moments that matter. mayor maybe they're justnts posinan ordinary couple.uple. either way, this room came at an unbeatable price. no one looks out for you, like travelocity. with price match guarantee, you'll always wander wisely. does it look like i'm done? shouldn't you be at work?

4:29 pm
after president trump mocked 94-year-old president george h.w. bush. slamming the 1988 presidential slogan, a thousand points of life. >> and by the way, you know all the rhetoric you see here, the thousand points of light? what did that mean? does anyone know? i know one thing. america great again, we understand. putting america first, we understand. thousand points of light, i never quite got that. what the hell is that? has anyone figured that one out? put out by a republican. >> of course, a thousand points of light was bush's call for volunteer work and later became the name of his volunteer organization. now, several time with close ties to the bush family are jumping to the former president's defense. former special assistant, richard haas, called it truly offensive and former press
4:30 pm
secretary for george w. bush said the attack was uncalled for and rude and the former director for affairs, nicholas burns, said george h.w. bush is ten times the man and president that donald trump is. outfront now national affairs correspondent for the nation, walsh and a member of president trump's 2020 reelected advisory council. why attack these guys? why former president bush? >> well, i prefer he, if he's going to attack a pubush, i prer w. bush, not hw bush. a war hero and in his final days by all accounts. i believe george w. was one of the worst presidents. he along with -- >> and a wonderful slogan, by the way. >> but you said, the bushes in general have been terrible to president trump and to candidate
4:31 pm
trump and president trump. do i do get that part of it. but i would prefer that he focus his fire on george w. bush who i think is frankly, although republican, politically, pretty reprehensible although he said in the entire obama administration, i hold my tongue because he deserves that and then trump with the exact opposite way, done nothing but castigate. >> joe. >> the president ran, president trump ran against the bush legacy in very many ways. >> this isn't about the bush legacy, steve. i mean, he had the choice of going after president george w. bush and saying a lot of things. he did not choose to do that but insult a war hee owe, president fr from his own party. colin powell ran the thousand points of light foundation and bipartisan appeal. kind of a beautiful thing and it is the opposite of what donald trump is doing to this country.
4:32 pm
i don't know what kind of depravity it takes to mock a man who is, as you said, reportedly in his last days, and also took another swipe at senator john mccain, another war hero from his party who was also gravely ill. it's depravity. i have no other word for it. >> i want to talk about another moment. this one, particularly, drew notice from many american women, frankly. he took aggressive shot at senator elizabeth warren who's been a frequent target of criticism. he calls her pocahontas but it was the shot at the me-too movement that caught the most attention. have a listen. >> pocahontas, i apologize to you. to you i apologize. to the fake pocahontas, i won't. you know those little kits on television for $2? learn your heritage. we will take that little kit and say, but we have to do it gently. because we're in the metoo
4:33 pm
generation, so we have to be very gentle. and we will gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn't hit her and injure her arm. even though it only weighs probably 2 ounces. and we will say, i will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an indian. >> is that appropriate? >> you know, here again. is it appropriate for him to demand a dna test? >> no, the way he talked about the me-too movement. >> not even to demand that. >> you know why it's appropriate? it's appropriate because she used a lie, quite frankly, a lie about her heritage to gain professional advantage so it's totally appropriate to say, you know, face up to this lie or prove that it's not a lie by a
4:34 pm
dna test. she's not native american, yet claimed to be. i have no problem with her calling her pocahontas. >> the dna test? >> it's not about the dna test but it's about dismissing t the #metoo movement and particularly, the president with his own accusers and steve, i know, we've talked about this before. i know you're sympathetic to that. do you think that's the right way for a president to discuss a movement? about abusive women? >> i wish he hadn't mentioned it. that was a mistake. i think he stepped on his own mess to a certain extent because he has a serious point against elizabeth warren and i wish he hadn't mentioned it but here's the thing with this president and he is so non-political. even though he's now our president. he's so authentic both for good and bad. he speaks to us not in a lawyerly and measured way but
4:35 pm
the way normal people speak to each other at a bowling alley or the church parking lot or a bar. he speaks in a very cloolloquia. and at times, those jokes, i'll be the first to admit, at times, they go too far and i wish he hadn't mentioned #metoo. >> steve. i have met republicans. it's my turn, steve. it's actually my turn. >> give a chance, please. >> i have republicans in my family who were republicans. i literally never heard anyone talk the way donald trump does. i literally never, so don't slur your fellow republicans or people in my family by saying that this is just the way people talk because it isn't. and secondarily, to mock t the #metoo movement when you have been incredibly accused by a dozen women or more of sexual harassment or even abuse
4:36 pm
yourself, he is speaking to men. he is speaking to his idea of men and he wants to go into 2018 and 2020 doubling down on his support with men but only 32% in today's "washington post" poll, only 32% of american women say he's doing a good job. so good luck with that. take that to the polls in november 2018 and 2020. i think you'll be very sorry. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you both, steve and joan. it's a tough topic, no question. outfront next. oxygen running low as authorities race to save the 12 boys trapped in a cave. there's a limited amount of time to rescue them. secretary of state mike pompeo as we speak about to meet with kim jong-un. will he be able to get north korea to give up nukes? james clapper will be my guest. a hotel can make or break a trip. and at expedia, we don't think you should be rushed into booking one. that's why we created expedia's add-on advantage.

4:40 pm
dire warnings about the 12 youth soccer players in the cave. oxygen dropped to low levels and former experienced military diver died overnight on the way out just showing how risky the escape will be for the boys, many of whom don't know how to swim let alone scuba dive. outfront from the scene. we learn some of the boys participants with letters brought down to them. what's the latest as the sun
4:41 pm
comes up? >> reporter: officials trying to establish communication line to get parents on the phone with their kids inside the cave. that hasn't happened. letters the next best option and hopefully keeps their morale up as the rescuers figure out how to get them out. oxygen levels dropping inside that cave and a thought they could ride out the rainy season in the cave themselves for the next several months but doesn't appear to be an option with oxygen levels very, very low. so what that might force rescuers to do is take them out by having them swim and using diving commitment but remember, these are children with no diving experience and some can't even swim so it's going to be frougt with per little but what you see overall, jim, is kind of a having to choose between the best of a lot of bad options for authorities here. the rain is coming and it's going to start in earnest the next 24 to 48 hours. water levels will rise and what you'll likely see and again, this could change but likely see
4:42 pm
divers have to go in and get those kids u.s. divers that could be participating in that, helping divers get the kids out. we're expecting that could happen within the next 24 to 48 hours but nothing confirmed yet by officials so far. >> let's just hope they get them out safely. matt rivers, outfront now, the former leader of the fbi's dive team. bobby, thank you so much for joining us. based on what you know and you see here, is there a safe way to get these boys out? >> no. there's no safe way to get them out, even under the best conditions, this is a dangerous endeavor as we learned yesterday when an experienced cave diver lost his life. there is a way. it is not safe, it is risky, but the options are starting to dwindle. i don't know, other than the diving, i heard them tunnelling earlier in the week. i don't know what other options they have other than than to wait it out which doesn't seem to be an option and dive them
4:43 pm
out. and from the beginning, i said diving should be an absolute last resort, but this is a very dangerous operation. if they commence it, you know, it's going to be very dangerous for those kids to get out of that, first of all, the diving is very difficult. we now have the gut punch of the oxygen levels in there and the 19%, the air is about 21% oxygen. 19% is considered the safe zone. below 19%, you get hiypoxic. 14%, muscle fatigue, your perception and judgment. i mean, you can't start a dive like this in that kind of cognitive deficit. you have to be at the top of your game. >> and even then, it's difficult circumstances. in the simplest terms, what is the option? is it about putting on a full face mask and then helping sort of guiding them out?
4:44 pm
maybe one diver in front and one behind? how do they do that? these are tight passages. >> i think you're absolutely right. i think they'll have two to one. now, breathing in a mixture of air because of the position in there, but i think they'll have one in front, one in back. the full face mask will help and the communication will help. constantly talk to these kids, keep them calm, let them know what's going on because they won't be able to see anything. it's disorienting. i think you're right. one in the back, one in the front and then just guide each child through independently and separately, take your time. once you're under the water, as long as they've staged bottles along the way, which i think they've been doing, they have time to get them through and as long as the child doesn't panic, you know, they can do this. it's still extremely risky but can be done. >> bobby, and i should say
4:45 pm
chacon, thank you for walking us through. praising putin ahead of the sit-down meeting. under president obama, general james clapper will respond. plus, a mother motivated to run after her son was shot to death but can she win in a gun friendly state? the latest in our series born to run. is this at&t innovations? yeah, wow... this must be for one of our new unlimited wireless plans. it comes with a ton of entertainment options. great, can you sign for this? yeah. hey, uh... what's in that one? that's a shark. new and only with at&t, you can get unlimited data, 30 plus channels of live tv, and your choice of things like hbo or pandora premium. more for your thing. that's our thing.

secretary of state mike pompeo is getting ready to meet with kim jong-un. they're wo the latest of reports indicating increase, not shrinking, as president trump claimed. director of national intelligence under president obama, james clapper. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> as you look at this series of reports, really now, expansion and other work, existing nuclear facilities. in your view, is north korea breaking its promise, however vague it was, but its promise to trump on denuclearizing? >> it would appear so. the physical evidence, the
4:50 pm
outward evidence of expansion, monitorization improvement beyond their research facility at the facility. it's hardly is hardly proactive and, certainly, doesn't seem to me to be -- to comport with what i understood to be the spirit of the rather vague agreement that was arrived at at the singapore summit. >> you're aware that the dia, defense intelligence agency has its own assessment, that north korea has no full intention of denuclearizing. you and i have talked about this before. you said you believe it's possible to make a deal with north korea to some degree in some way, what do you believe that you need to see secretary pompeo return from north korea with this time to indicate that kim is serious about talking. >> first of all, i agree with
4:51 pm
the dia assessment. as you know, i a long time ago served as director dia and i think they're right. that certainly aligns with my own observation when i was there in pyongyang in november 2014 and engaged with the very same that secretary pompeo is engaging with, the very same kim yu young who was very anti-american, at least appeared to me not the least bit interested in denuclearization. what would be useful if secretary pompeo can get an expression from the north koreans about what it is they need in order they don't need nuclear weapons to feel secure? i thought that was, you know, had a great opportunity. the president had a great opportunity during the summit to elicit a response to that question.
4:52 pm
the other thing would be very useful for secretary pompeo is perhaps to have a discussion about what just denuclearization means. what it means to us and what it means to north koreans. we haven't done that. i think there's a way ahead. it isn't -- can't be all done with just sticks or having a photo opt meeting in singapore demanding the north koreans denuclearize so that it's complete and will irreversible and verifiable, a phrase by the way i haven't been hearing much lately. so so just to achieve that. now at some point, we need to expect if the north koreans are sincere, which i don't think they are, that they would present a complete catalog of their nuclear enterprise. the locations of every facility to include research, development testing, what they have deployed, how many nuclear war heads they have and where they are. if they're generally sincere about this, we should be
4:53 pm
expecting at least a commitment and a deadline for such a catalog. >> we'll see if secretary pompeo comes back with that. this i'll ask you now about president trump's upcoming meeting with vladimir putin. he's going to meet alone. you saw him down playing concerns about putin yesterday, saying he's a fine guy. you're aware of all the aggression that russia is showing towards the u.s. now and continues to. what's your reaction to the u.s. president when he says that kind of thing, dismissing the russian threat. >> well, this is completely consistent with all too and regrettably familiar pattern of praising autocrats and criticizing our allies, and so this is just more of that. what i don't understand is why are we even having a summit? what have the russians done in terms of their behavior over the last year, two years, or five years that merits a summit meeting with the president of
4:54 pm
the united states? that's beyond me. i expect yet another photo opt, not unlike what happened in singapore. this is literally in my mind a reward for bad behavior. >> general clapper, thanks very much, as always. >> thanks, gym. born to run. mother looks to make history after losing her teenage sun to gun violence. you'll always wander wisely. you don't always use your smartphone to like something. here we are! how is it? perfect! who is this? you don't always use it to share something. he's doing it! but when it matters most, you count on tracfone to keep you connected, for less. can you send that to me? yeah. our new smartphone plan gives you talk, text and data with unlimited carryover starting at $15 a month, no contract. all with nationwide 4g lte coverage. get top smartphones or bring your own phone.

tracfone. for moments that matter. i can do more to lower my a1c. and i can do it with what's already within me. because my body can still make its own insulin. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. don't use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, you're allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting,
4:56 pm
abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. these can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i choose once-weekly trulicity to activate my within. if you need help lowering your a1c, ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. by a man who said he felt threat nened by the boy and his friends. that was six years ago. now she is running for congress to fight for gun control, but she faces a tough race in a traditionally conservative district. out with special series, born to run. jts every politician and every town's parade knows they have to
4:57 pm
press the flesh, ask for votes. >> i like your hat. >> but democrat lucy brings a story unlike any other. >> jordan guides me every single day. >> her 17-year-old son was gunned down at a florida gas station six years ago. the gunman saying he shot jordan davis because he felt threatened by him and his friends after complaining they were playing music too loud. first a grieving mother in a murder trial, then quit her flight attendant job to become a national gun control activist for every town for gun safety. then this year, parkland. >> shots fired right now, guys. >> here we go again. what does this country not get? >> so good afternoon. this is very important. >> and then i saw president trump sitting with our federal
4:58 pm
legislatures sitting at the table talking about the nra and within 24-48 hours, he flipped. >> and that's when you decided to run. >> it's just not enough to have the marches and the rallies and the speeches and the remarks. championing for them in washington is still championing for my child. i'm still a mother, i'm still parents. that's why i believe this was the time to stand up. >> we're behind you 100%. i'm so proud of you. >> in a year of first time women running for office at historic levels and then last week's stunning upset by 28-year-old alexandria beating an incouple bet congressman. >> i am a mother, i'm a fighter and i'm a loyal democrat. >> this time candidate sees 2018 as the year to flip for georgia
4:59 pm
congressional district, heavily supported by the gun control group she once worked for, she hopes to connect her real life story with voters on both sides of the aisle. >> you think they'll vote for the person then. >> yes, as we've seen with cortes and many other candidates around the country, people are voting for the person. >> the battle she faces hasn't voted for a democrat since the 1970s in a gun friendly state. >> she's got to be a broader more of appealing candidate to beat the republican election. that's one reason i'm going to vote on the 24th. >> kevin able, the other democratic in a runoff with mcbath later this month. the winner will face republican karen handle in november. >> this is not the country you want to try to win on a gun issue alone. >> mcbatch says she is not a one issue candidate. she also cares about the economy, jobs, education, infrastructure, that guns is
5:00 pm
merely her entry issue. now the democrats say whoever wins a july 24th runoff will support the winner. the goal here for both of them is to try to flip the district. they just disagree on who should be that person. jim? >> thank you, and thanks to you for joirni injoining us tonight0 starts right now. the nation's chief law enforcement official once cited scripture to defend separating thousands of children from parents. tonight the process of reconnecting them is revealed as unholy mess. the trump administration had a deadline tonight, not to reunify all families or even some families, merely to make sure every separated parent has a way to simply contact their child. so far no answer on whether they succeeded with even that. administration face as new dateline tomorrow and bar is
