>> alison chin chchar, thank yoo much. thank you for spending your time with us. we hope tut make good memories. "inside politics" with john king begins right now. \s growing pains for the new majority, plans for a big policy weeks derailed by a big fight about prejudice. >> i don't believe it was intended in the anti-semitic way. i do not believe she understood the full weight of her words. democrats flex their new oversight power. >> i feel very badly for paul manafort. it's a collusion witch hoax. and new 2020 numbers. iowa votes first. for all the tame of the fresh face, early leaders are joy

beadsen and bernie sanders. >> donald trump must be defeated. "inside politics" the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. to our viewers in the united states and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. a big early test and family feud for the new democratic majority, and speaker nancy pelosi, a congresswoman who has made a series of anti-semitic statement is just one member of a feisty and impatient freshman class. >> it's a learning experience. it's part of the fact that when we elect the most diverse democratic caucus that we have in pretty much ever, it means that we're -- we have new communities at the table, new conversations that need to be had, and we have to learn how to have conversations differently every time. plus a war of words or likes

between the president and his once fixer. the president yet again twisted the truth. >> both his lawyer, a highly respected man and a very highly respected judge, the judge said there was no collusion with russia. this had nothing to do with collusion. it's a collusion hoax. it's a collusion witch hoax. i don't collude with russia. i want to welcome you to a campaign which says loudly and proudly that the underlying principles of our government will not be greed, kleptodr.

racy. we will no longer tolerate the greed. with us to chair, molly ball, michael share, sun young kim, and illeana johnson. we begin with an early test for the new majority. nancy pelosi prides herself on discipline, the majority she said would stand in stark contrast to the he legislative dysfunction. >> when our new members take the oaths, or democracy will be strengthened by their optimism, idealism and patriotism. this transformative freshman class. toot transformative, add

disruptive, distracting, in some cases embarrassing. hate, cryoand stumbles are not the early headlines pelosi wanted. in public she continues to give congresswoman omar the benefit of the doubt. >> i don't think that the congresswoman perhaps appreciates the full weight of how it was heard by other people, though i don't believe it was intended in an anti-semitic way, but the fact is that's how it was interpreted. we have to remove all doubt. >> how democrats have passed two modest gun droll bills and a sweeping measure regarding voting rights, but they realize their work is not getting noticed. >> fort neal natalie we got other things accomplished, including hr-1. but yes, it's a distraction none

of us need. >> where are we on this sunday? a very tough week for the new majority, including a speak to prides herself on keeping the ship tight and straight. >> clearly off to a difficult start. >> first they had the shutdown and now this intra-party drama. when the current speak nancy pelosi became speaker for the first time in 2007, in just under two weeks the democratic house passed six major democratic initiatives, whether it was expanding stem cell research, college debt relief, raising the minimum wage. that's a contrast to what they have been able to do this year because of all these outside issues. they did pass that gun control bill, and they also passed the big ethics package, but that was supposed to be their marquee legislation, we're in march and only getting around to it now

for all these external factors, and that's been a struggle for the democratic caucus. >> look, the goal -- congresswoman omar's statement that prompted this resolution was the umpteenth statement from her. i think the goal was for democrats to have something to point to saying we have condemned this already, like republicans being asked about trump's tweets essentially, and the resolution extendside up in a watered-down form, so pelosi did not succeed putting this controversy behind her and her fellow democrats. i think that was a failure for nancy pelosi. when we asked senators about this, senator john cornyn said to us, it's a different to have democrats dealing with their own internal controversy. our story this week was ilhan

omar is a gift to donald trump. >> it's not just, though, that controversy, right? in terms of nancy pelosi being the master strategist of the democratic message, you mentioned the gun bill, which is something the democrats would have wanted lots of people to pay attention to. this is something that hasn't happened in a long time, getting through at least one house of congress. i think the final vote came as the michael cohen hearing was going on, which is totally within the control of the house majority. this could have done a better job of highlighting the things -- the differing things they want people to focus on, and they're not doing a very good job about it. >> dan ball has a great piece about the changes in the party. we live in a different time. nancy pelosi will not get these new freshmen members for be quiet. this is a statement that she

wants to keep talking, even going after president barack obama. >> i will talk about the family separation, or caging of kids, and people will point out that this was trump -- i mean, this was obama. and i'll say something about the droning of countries around the word, and people will say that was obama. and all of that is very true. we can only be upset with trump, because he's not a politician who sells us his policies in the most perfect way. his policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. they just were more polished than he was. >> she's not wrong, in the sense there were controversial immigration policies in the obama administration. they did use drones.

she used the word "murder" in that interview. she's not wrong. it's just interesting to have a new democrat to come in and is willing to stir everything else. >> at least tensions have been brewing between the identity politics left and the more mainstream democratic establishment. so it does make sense that these debates would be coming to the fore, and in retrospect it would be entirely predictable that these types of issues are the things that cause internal strife among the democratic party. they're unified when it comes to investigating trump, for example. they're unified when it comes to passing gun control and anti-corruption measures. and so, you know, as michael was

saying, those are the things they want to focus on. they would prefer to keep the focus on policy. second choice would be the trump investigations. this is way down the list, but they don't have a choice when the new members have so much energy and their own voice thanks to media, and thanks to their personal followings, and don't like to be told, wait -- or police take your tweets, because that's where you have where you are. here's alexandria ooccasion i don't-cortez talking in texas, and capitalism and whether it's redeemable. >> capitalism to me is an ideology of capital. it puts capital the most important, the concentration of capital and it means that we seek and prioritize profit and the accumulation of money above all else. to me, that ideology is not sustainable and cannot be

redeemed. >> there is a debate to be had, and the democrats want to have it by the top 1% or wages and the like. however, you mentioned gifts to trump. a lot of democrats say, well, that's a goodivity. >> i think these voices, they're not influential only because they won't be quiet, but because i think this is where the energy in the party is, and i think the parallels, which my colleague in that interview with ilhan omar in politico magazine, she said i admire the tea party's tactics, and the way they went about getting their voices heard when they wanted to suppress dissent. ilhan omar and alexandria ocasio-cortez, they're becoming forces in the democratic primary precisely because that's where

the energy in the democratic base is. and i think it bodes well for bernie sanders. >> and nancy pelosi said it was a joy to manage all of this. >> she seems diplomatic in saying that, but what some of the other actions from the left wing of the democratic party right now object secures the fact there are 23 democratic freshmen where we're already being targeted, particularly over comments like this, daily seizing on these comments, comments in the actions and the policies of the new democratic caucus. >> it seems like there's a parallel somewhere. and john boehner is somewhere laughing. the president can't stop talking and tweeting about michael cohen. it's a free alert if we find your social

who could have sentenced him to 20 years or more of jail, sentenced him just shy of four years. his attorney succeeded in catching the president's attention. >> there is absolutely no evidence that paul manafort was involved with any collusion with anything russian officials. >> i think it's been a tough time for paul manafort. his lawyer went out of the way to make a statement last night, know collusion with russia. there was absolutely none. >> still reports said any talk of a pardon is a media creation. it isn't the media that has talked about a pardon for michael cohen, front and center. the president and his accuser are stoking that debate. aides and allies say cohen is a constant subject of phone calls.

on friday, the president said it was perjury when cohen told congress he never sought a pardon. >> mike at cohen lied about the pardon. it's a stone-doled lie. he's lied about a lot of things, but when he lied about the pardon, that was really a lie. he knew all about pardons. his lawyer said they went to my lawyers and asked for pardons. i could go a step bon that, but i won't go do it now. >> a little more than an hour later, the president went that one step -- he tweeted, directly asked him for a pardon. as we start the conversation everybody that's one tweet. at least 13 times since that tweet, the president has tweeted about michael cohen. whether you like him or don't, whether you're not so sure, he is the most transparent president, at least in my memory. why? why is he obsessed with michael cohen? >> michael cohen was very close to him for a really long time.

they knew each other very, very well. when we say fixer, we're talking about someone who was a close confidante. if, for example, you wanted to pay off a mistress, the person you go to to help with you that is someone you're close to and you really, really trust. i think what trump perceives as a betrayal cuts particularly close to the bone. of course there's the calculation of what michael cohen might have on him, what testimony he might have given to various investigators, but beyond that, i think it's just the emotion of having someone who you were so close to turn on you and say terrible things about you under oath, in congress. and beyond that, there's the political and legal strategy of impugning michael cohen's credibility, so that he isn't believed by the public. >> because if a tenth of what he says set tris true, the preside

in a lot of trouble. >> if donald trump's last tweet that michael cohen directly asked him for a pardon is true, why did he wait more than a week to put that ute? out? wouldn't you think that the day that michael cohen testifies in front of that congressional hearing, pardon? i never talk about a pardon. if that was true, don't you you this that donald trump would have said that that day. that's one question i had when that tweet came out. >> right. you raise great questions. is the president credible, he hayes departed from the truth. i would say he has a casual relationship with the truth, which is why even house democrats -- republicans say how could you put him in the chair. democrats say, we get it, he has credibility issues. 81 groups and entities the democrats say now we want documents and information from they people to see it if we can

back up what mike hall cohen said. the democrats are just starting to flex their muscles, and they say it would be oversight, not overreach. >> he heard 60 already earlier in the week, and 81 has that shock-and-awe effect. you can see how they'll work out just how looking about one of the first investigations by the democratic house has unfolded, which is the security clearance process at the white house, which officially began in late january, but we're kind of in the letters back-and-forth days. if you look at the letters, the white house is offering briefings instead of the documents themselves. they're saying this is not the purview of congress. this is really about the president's prerogative to protect this kind of information. you see democrats get more enraged and impatient with the president's response.

i imagine that's how a lot of these 81 requests will go. i'm sure a lot of them may want to talk voluntarily, but this will go back and forth for two years. >> look at they numbers from quinnipiac. these drop off of us like water on a duck now. 64% of americans think their president committed crimes before he was president, including one third of independents. i mean, we're waiting for the mueller report, but i know sometimes we go another thing in the trump era, but that's stunning. >> this is the challenge i think democrats face, in that public opinion of the president, you know, i think americans by and large know who this president is. the challenge i think democrats face is what's uncovering new information that's going to make americans think the president is corrupt. they already believe that, by

and large, but nominating somebody who americans prefer to him. americans believe those things, they just preferred him to hillary clinton. i think that's something that democrats have a question swallowing, but they have to nominate somebody who americans believe is preferable. >> call that the art of the segue. up next or new iowa poll, who leads the pack, and on the trail in south carolina this weekend, race was a big question for kamala harris. >> i'm embarrassed to say that my father was most likely in the kkk. >> thank you for having the courage to stand and share your personal story. for too long we have not had these honest discussions about race. we just haven't. you can look at textbooks in public schools that have erased so much of the history, the

you and i go drinking, what are you having? >> beer. michelob ultra. the club soda of beers, come on, people. >> there are a number of great candidates. no, there really are. i always like to jokingly say, may the best woman win. a taste of the weekend campaigning. we have new numbers that suggest this sunday, a, joe biding remains in the early driver's seat, b, voters aren't exactly on the same page as some of the most liberal activists and

organizations. as we wait for joe biden, he leads the pack in iowa. benties sanders, followed by owork, klobuchar and harris. >> biden is down a bit, sanders is up a bit, warren up a bit. harris up a bit. bet oo'rourke making the decision. let's look again at the two leading candidates. joe biding starts with a broad are base. iowa. 70% of iowa says his political views are just about right. biden has a broader base. sanders has to maximize his support among liberal. a lot of people think he's too liberal. biden against, sanders lead that pac with 30.

biden gets 36%, say they're mods rat, you see the other candidates here. it's an interesting tug of war idea logically. this is interesting, the buzz about medicare for all, iowa democrats, they want candidates to talk about new taxes, the green new deal. it's only half of iowa democrats think that medicare for all is the end all/be all. here's another one. let's pop down they're. what do they want the candidates to talk about? health care and climate change are off the charts. look where impeachment is? way down here. democrats want to talk about issues, in and out about impeaching the president. the big takeaway, some democrats thought bernie sanders was a one-shot wonder. back in 2016? nope. >> by the way, those radical

ideas we talked about four years ago? today virtually all of those ideas are now supported by a majority of the american people. they are ideas that democratic candidates from school board to president are now campaigning on. >> biden has a big hold on this race right now. we assume he runs. if he doesn't, boy, that throws open a lot of support. if he does it's about the blessing and a curse. for those who thought sanders will never be a player again. those numbers say do not misunderestimate bernie sanders. he still has a lot of that support. impressive momentum with the surge in early polling, this idea that was out there that maybe other candidates would cannibalize bernie's support giving how small the field was. at this point that doesn't appear to be the case, but the

poll does suggest that he has a bit of a ceiling. look, i am getting ptsd flashbacks to 2016. you'll see candidates in a very similar profile, but with very similar baggage to hillary clinton, in terms of some of the issues in the past on both policy and connections to corporations. so this could end up being that, but when you talk to the other campaigns who are stuck in single did you g single digits, they will tell you these unknown as democrats are place holders. the poll asks if the caucus was held today. voters want to hear from candidates, but if they were held today, they will go by someone they know.

>> it does back up the name identification, and media coverage. what happened to the talk of a fresh face. you go to rallies, voters say i love joe biden. if they want a fresh face, why aren't they telling that po tolls terse? >> that was interesting numb be i found fascinating. to molly's point earlier, there's a lot in biden's background that will surface whether he becomes a candidate. we wrote in the past week about comments he made in the 1970s that argued against desegregation, i think those will be highlighted once he comes into the race, and also his role in the anita hill hearings. you're rewatching those clips of the hearing, and you see joe

biden and the criticism that he is facing now that he didn't do enough to defend anita hill. i think the democratic party at this time and where the party is, especially on those issues, is going to take notice of that. >> the question is, can he sell his evolution? the other question is, will democrats go after him? i was there in the '88 primary where he got attacked by the dukakis campaign. they ask about bernie and if his time as passed. 43% say sanders' time has passed, so you do see sanders numbers are strong, but some 2016 hangover, in the sense if urn in camp clinton, a lot still carry a grudge. >> as he said in that clip, his ideas have been adopted and replicated among others, but the

problem is once voters understand who those others are, to molly's point, many of them will move, or at least have the potential to move to these other people. >> to that point, bernie is saying medicare for all. other candidates are saying that. in the poll, only half -- they care about health care. they're not sure they want to go medicare for all. are he -- and listen here, this is john hickenlooper, small businessman, clearly a capitalist, we talked about this earlier in the program, why would you ask the question? >> would you call yourself a proud capitalist? >> oh, i don't know. again, the labels i'm not sure any of these fit. >> do you consider yourself a capitalist? >> again, the labels. i'm a small businessperson. that part of the system you would call capitalist, i get it.

>> do you consider yourself a capitalist, and does capitalism work? >> well, i think -- i don't look at myself with a label. >> the guy founded a business, expanded his business. he's a successful capitalist. what is wrong with saying yes, i also get progressive values, and if we have a roaring economic, we can do this with that money. why are they afraid? >> that his campaign would crater if he did, but that's why i think there's an opening for joe biden here. there really isn't a candidate in the center right with bloomberg bowing out of the race this week, scherr load brown bowing out, the ohio senator who the trump campaign had expressed some nervousness or some trump campaign aides. i doi think there's an opening

for someone who had challenge trump through the midwest, those states that carried trump to the president by by a slim margin in 2016. a quick break here. that means we're capitalists, i guess. president trump promised to balance the budget in five years. new numbers make clear those promises will not be kept. this . if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month, the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. ongoing pain and stiffness are signs of joint erosion. humira can help stop the clock. prescribed for 15 years, humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. vo: humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,

a tough week ahead for the president. the republican senate about do join the democratic house in voting to overturn the declaration of a national emergency at the mexico/u.s. border. the week just ended also put a big spotlight on broken trump promises. the u.s. trade deficit way up overall. if you zero in just on trade with china, the budget deficit, national debt heading up.

candidate trump promised something different. >> we trade. we have a deficit of $800 billion, and going up, going up fast, knolls i become president. you will see a drop like you have never seen before. we can balance the budget very quickly. >> you think in five years? >> i think over a five-year period. i don't know maybe i could even surprise you. >> still waiting for that surprise. friday brought an unwelcome surprise, a weak jobs report, just 20,000 added last month. the president hopes it's a blip, not a sign of slower growth. >> we're seeing wages rise more than they have at any time for a long, long time. i'm happy about that. the economy is very, very strong. if you look at the stock market over the last few months, it's been great. >> where does this put us in the

sense you have an incumbent gearing up. some warning signs starting to come up. you worry about that looking forward, some cracks in his own party up on capitol hill. if you are an incumbent, this is kind of -- you want to turn the page, get away from this. >> the word i use would is ominous. this is an ominous week for trump. both of these things are the biggest dangers to him political politically. the republican senate now -- this is not the first time that they have defid him. they tried to do it quietly. they don't want to an antagonize their base. and then the other part is the economy, if these murmurs of economic disturbance become an actual slowdown of some sort, that's really, really bad. at this point a lot of people

think the only thing sort of keeping trump afloat is the strong economy, that people no matter what they think of the president feel that things are going okay, nothing has collapsed, despite all of the sky is falling predictions. >> that's a great point. let's take it out of the washington. we talked about the senate, the national economic, in lordstown, ohio, a factory shut down. it's not the president's fall, but it is hits field he said don't sell your house, don't move, i'm going to protect those jobs. that's personal there. and here's a new poll in michigan this weekend, one of the blue states the president flipped. if the election were held today. 31% definitely for trump. 49% definitely for someone else. 16% still trying to figure it out. those are more ominous markings. >> let me add another work to molly's, and that's

accountability. >> presidents often get into office and can argue whatever is happening in the economy and in other parts of the world are not their fault. at this point it's coming home to roost. the promises about the budget deficit, the promises about the trade deficit and other things, he can't return away from those, as molly said, if they're turning against him, that's hard, people will blame him in the office. reuters reporting that the president's budget will ask for the money for the wall. here's my request again. you just told me no, but here as the request. is there an argument to be made, the contrarian trumpian argument to his base, i'm standing up to the establishment in both parties. i'm happy for this fight. >> i think there definitely is, especially when it comes to the

border wall a conservative activist told me when the shutdown was going on, the president has to do whatever he can to show his supporters is serious that he's getting the wall built. he's clearly done that. the white house is on track for a pretty embarrassing defeat this week in the senate. republicans tell me the white house at least has stepped up their efforts to talk to republican senators, whether it's trying to get them more information, even though they haven't given them critical pieces of information yet, or just saying, look, the president is watching who is voting know, taking names and watching. >> i think the president is happy to talk about these things on the campaign trail i think the white house is fine they

don't want to see it reach the mid 60s. >> have this one bigger problem next, who might be the filling one of the toughest jobs in president trump's white house? is big! now with t-mobile get the samsung galaxy s10e included with unlimited data for just $40 a month. hi, what's this social security alert? it's a free alert if we find your social security number on the dark web. good, cuz i'm a little worried about my information getting out. why's that?

let's head one last time around the table and ask our great reporters to share something from their notebooks. molly ball? >> something a little different. i think it's fair to say no tv show hughes ever captured the ridiculousness of washington as well as hbo's "veep." it's been on a bit of a hiatus. the star was the treatd for cancer, fortunately in

remission, but they had to do some adjusting to, shall we say, an era in washington that's taken absurdity to a new level. i spent some time with julia for a profile recently, and she said some of the jocks had to become more extreme to land in this particular era. the seventh and final season is finally coming, it starts at the end of this month and i would say we are very excited. >> it's a good respite for us. >> and jonah is running for president. >> see that? there we go. i don't want to pick which side. here's a question. is president trump actually a moderate on imgrates? we all know on illegal immigration, he's talked about the wall, he's talked about people coming over from mexico. he's -- but when it comes to legal immigration, he's sent a different message, he wants as

much as possible. that's enraged some of his most conservative supporter breitbart has written numerous articles about it. lou dobbs, an anti-immigrant host has consemd it, saying the other day the white house has lost its way. it's unclear if the rhetoric will mean something. as he heads into this 2020 reelection campaign, he has the potential to put off some of the his most conservative supporters. another big senate vote this week will be to fill brett kavanaugh's old job on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. her name is naomi rowe. she's been nominated to what's on which called the second-most important court in the country. there was a little -- josh holy

earlier this month raised concerns about how she might rule on cases involving abortion, which is interesting, because cases don't like that don't often come up in that particular court. that has the caused concerns. it the prompted a private talking to from mitch mcconnell to josh holly. but that's kind of all settled down. she should have enough votes to get confirmed, but still an interesting nomination to watch. >> worth watching. >> eliana? >> big shine, the white house communications director, resigned this week, taking an advisory role on the trump campaign. he was the fifth person to hold the title of white house communication director, probably the second-most unpleasant or difficult job in washington after white house chief of staff. so i'll be watching whether the

white house looks to fill that job or just leaves it open and acknowledges, you know, on the record this is a job that the president is doing himself. i think that will be interesting, particularly going into the campaign, and as the campaign that is stats up a pretty robust communication shop. >> i'm going to circle back to where we began the hour to what some nervous democrats say needs to be a reset. the tension between the new activist progressive members and moderate and very real. both john boehner and paul ryan left 9 speakership beyond frustrated they could not achieve goals. pelosi's team were trying to adjust. there were urgent appeals to keep family feuds private, and toe stick together when they use

procedural rules. pelosi is bringing on a new chief of staff. quote, it's a sign she wants to shake things up is how one veteran put it, a tacit admission that things need to be tighter. that's it for "inside politics." catch us during the week as one. up next is jake tapper live from south by southwest. enjoy it. thanks for shares your sunday. \s at royal canin, we developed over 200 precise formulas to transform every cat and dog into a magnificent animal. royal canin but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
