at every particular point that they feel they can get away with it. >> navy officials say the russians had been shadowing the americans at a safe distance for some time before the incident. and that convincing them that the russians knew exactly what they were doing. >> the news continues and there's a lot of it. i'll hand it over to chris for cuomo primetime. >> we do have breaking news on this friday night. the president has avoided another crisis of his own making. tariffs on mexico indefinitely suspended says the president. of course tariffs were never the solution to the instant crisis of caring for the kids and folks in our custody? what about that? fresh reaction from the deal struck minutes ago with mexico in a lawmaker in a state that would have felt the economic brunt. what does she have to say about what should have happened next on the border. and he can run but joe biden
6:01 pm
can't hide all of his years for support for the hyde abortion amendment. he now says he is against after fierce backlash from his party. we have brand new information behind the backtrack. and prepare yourself for the hottest new internet sensations. the father and son duo everyone has been talking about. they're here tonight. this is a story and there's one behind the video. it's going to help you smile your way into the weekend. what do you say? it's friday night. let's get after it. >> all right. all too often we get news on a friday night and here it is from the president. here's his tweet. i'm pleased to inform you that the united states of america has reached a signed agreement with mexico. the tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the u.s. on monday against mexico are here by indefinitely suspended. mexico has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border. this is being done to greatly reduce or eliminate the illegal
6:02 pm
immigration coming from mexico and into the united states. let's bring in debbie that warned her state would have been one of the hardest hit if the president made good on his threat. so a little bit of relief for you obviously but also acknowledgment that the president made something happen here with his saber rattling. >> you know, it's first of all, we don't know what the agreement is yet and i like you am very interested in knowing what it is. i am taking a sigh of relief because the fact of the matter is the state would have been hit very hard and the auto industry is already more fragile than anybody realizes and this was just a crazy idea that came out of nowhere and we need a new nafta deal and in the midst of trying to get a nafta deal he throws a bomb. i couldn't believe that he was ever really going to do it, but i don't know what's in this deal and then you watch the hour, the 59 minutes at the border and you see the 8 month pregnant woman
6:03 pm
and you say where is our humanity, why aren't we caring about these people? don't we have to do some caring here? >> answer your own question, congresswoman. i had democrats on here about this all month long. she says we'll give them the money but we want to guarantee they'll get them in safe places. with all due respect i don't see the urgency that an emergency requires from your side either. you have to give the money to dhs and hhs. they're begging for it and of course you want assurances but you're not doing anything and the situation keeps getting worse. how do you justify it? >> i think you are going to see that the money is going to ultimately come. we are already beginning the appropriations bills now. we already shutdown the government once this year and it wasn't us. it was the republicans. those that are seeking asylum that are escaping from gangs that have had people murdered, the stories i've heard here in
6:04 pm
michigan of the grandmother that was raped and the money stolen and trying to protect her children, those are the people that we have to take care of and we do need to have a strong national security. we do need to have a strong policy at the border but i'm also going to worry about those kids. >> but that's my point. i agree with you 100% and i appreciate your fashion and focus on this but what i'm saying is i feel like you guys should have given the money weeks ago when dhs came to you and said we're running out. hhs is running out. we can't give them the kids anymore. we can't keep them longer than 72 hours. you won't do anything with the floresce flores settlement. hhs won't take them. we need money for accommodations and staff and medical now and you have done nothing. now the president did tariffs. that's his move. that doesn't help this either. so where is the emergency action on your part?
6:05 pm
>> we have to stop making this -- >> god forbid. even kids aren't enough, congresswoman. kids are sick. kids have died. >> they're dying. and we do need to do something and i'm one of the people that says it and will vote for it and you'll start to see it as you see these appropriations bill you have to look at what you do with kids because people found it to be a loophole. let's be honest. if you come with a kid you'll have a different route into this country than if you don't. you have kids being recycled and explo
6:06 pm
exploited. but nothing is being done and it's unforgivable. >> i have talked to the people taking care of them at the border here in michigan. and we have to get the blank to actually get a comprehensive immigration bill through. >> fine. >> we need it. we needed it for two decades. >> fine but you can't even get money for kids living in squaller. comprehensive bill is pie in the sky. let me ask you this and then i have another topic for you. what do you hear from democratic leadership about why they are not seizing obvious opportunity here? the president is about harshness and we're about heart. why didn't they seize this opportunity sooner? >> they have tried to seize it.
6:07 pm
it's trying to get something through that's going to pass and get signed by a president. this is not -- i mean -- i keep saying. >> never got past anything in the house. got the numbers there. >> we're going to start to see -- we're going to see appropriations bills. >> but i'm saying going to start to see means later. i'm saying why wasn't this done already? that's my point. >> i understand your point. i'm going to do what i can to get it through. i'm going to be working with republicans as well as democrats for comprehensive reform. >> i hear you but you have to deal with the emergency. >> they need help and it's both of our responsibilities. >> we have to stop this war of words between ourselves and do something. >> agreed. now, it's to pick a way and go. that's what you are known for. that's what the whole family is known for. that's not happening with you guys on how to hold this
6:08 pm
president to account. it seems to me. i'm not saying impeach or don't impeach. that's your call. but the hand wringing about how is it going to be seen and what will people say and what will it mean, i don't think that's the way you're supposed to do your duty. i think you're supposed to make a decision about the best way to hold this president accountable or not and then do it. fair point or no? >> i'm not someone ringing my hands. i'm someone worried about this country. >> i know but the democrats aren't doing it the dingell way right now. >> what you're going to see is a vote in the house on contempt. it's going to begin to show people that we are serious. the leadership is trying to figure out how are you going to
6:09 pm
deal with a president that says nobody is going to come up and testify? well, that's just not okay. we never allowed that to happen in the past. >> true. you only have one move though. there's only one move that will allow you to overwhelm the president's tactics right now and that's to be perceived as having maximum congressional authority which is an impeachment inquiry. >> i don't necessarily agree with you. we have won in the courts three times in the last week. >> yes, but they'll all be appealed so none of it is done. >> ultimately we may get there but i still think that we have to continue to do these investigations and get the facts and hold people in contempt for not coming to testify. we may have no choice but to do that, but in the meantime, you're bringing the american public along who see that this president is refusing to testify. send anybody to help. be accountable.
6:10 pm
he's refusing to send members of his administration on other issues right now. he's refusing to do things that we have to address like infrastructure and health care way before next november's election. unacceptable. >> he is working the rules to his advantage. he wants to be oppositional. you'll have to decide how you counter and how much it means to you. >> he's not working the rules. he does not have the rules on his side. that's what we do have to do. that's why we're in the courts. that's what you're going to see the next week. >> fair point. >> you're going to see people starting to hold people accountable. >> congresswoman, you're always a straight shooter. you're always welcome on this show to talk about what matters to the american people. lord knows we have enough to talk about. >> there's too much to talk about but we'll keep doing it. >> have a good weekend. >> and not give us. >> can't. the only way is forward in this country. have some new intel on joe biden's hyde amendment shift. here's the question. did he evolve on this issue or

now. he grounded his position on abortion funding in moderation. he did so proudly in his book. i stuck to my middle of the road position on abortion for more than 30 years. i still vote against partial-birth abortion and federal funding. but that changed with one moment on the campaign trail and here it is. >> will you commit to abollishing the hyde amendment which hurts poor women. >> yes. >> i'm glad you just said you would commit to abollishing the hyde amendment. >> right now it can't stay. >> remember the hyde amendment blocks federal funding for abortions except for cases of rape, incest or unless the life of the mother is in jeopardy. the campaign initially said joe biden misunderstood that woman's question and then seemed to argue biden was for access and funding and also for the hyde amendment. >> what i don't get is how can
6:16 pm
he be for the hyde amendment if he is against restrictions to access because that's exactly what it is? >> i think that this is just one area where he would explain it best in terms of how his faith guides him on. >> i don't get it. >> you have to look at his record in totality, chris. >> fair to say, the testing revealed an obvious inconsistency and sure enough the position changed again. the candidate said this rather definitively. >> if i believe health care is a right as i do i can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone's zip code. >> all right. so what happened? we're hearing that the shift came after some tough love from his supporters. is this a flip flop or evolving? it depends on what drives the change. if biden is pro choice the hyde amendment is contrary. it limits choice to those with means. so the shift makes sense but how it was done raises a question of
6:17 pm
how ready mr. biden and his campaign are for this heavy fight to come. a suggestion two other democrats are eager to advance. the problem is this was hardly an isolated incident. his campaign acknowledged it lifted other people's knowledge in the climate change plan. arguably a mistake by staffers alone but this is a sore spot given that biden's 1987 run was doomed by plagiarism allegations and he looked out of step with something his team should have known would be a sore spot with his party. the role in the con ttroversial 1994 crime bill. >> i wrote the crime bill. >> joe biden is still at the top of the pack by a lot and he's still the only candidate in the top tier with tendencies that mirror the democratic party. campaigns are about moments and
6:18 pm
mistakes and momentum and this week shows mr. biden still has vulnerabilities and he may not handle them with the ease required. this apparent willingness to shift positions when he starts to take fire is only going to encourage more attacks. now i want to get back to tonight's breaking news. the terror threat. no more for mexico. the president strikes a deal. the great debate, next. calling all sunscreen haters. you're gonna love this. new coppertone sport clear. not thick, not hot, not messy, just clear, cool, protected. coppertone sport clear. proven to protect.

check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. breaking news, did brinksmanship work? a friday night deal stopped what would have been an ugly tariff war. but what does this mean? is mexico our friend again? are we on the same page or did this sully the relationship? they're here for a great debate. jennifer, i start with you. short-term win for the president because he didn't have to put down the tariffs and he got mexico to move into an area where it did not want to be? >> listen, i have no idea because we have no idea what the deal is, but i do know it is a
6:23 pm
win for michigan in particular. you were just talking to debbie dingell. we would have been totally disproporti disproportionally effected. are we going to continue to gorge li govern like this. we threaten something horrible and in the meantime there's no consistency. however, i will say, let's see what it says. i have no idea. >> but let's assume and my reporting gives me good security in this assumption, that they are going to do things, deploy national guard, they're going to do what they should have done from the beginning which is if somebody enters their country asking for asylum they should make the case right there and not just help and chaperon them into a third country. it's not supposed to work like that and while people are waiting for ajudication that want asylum they'll wait in mexico. assuming that's in it, how is that not a good step for the
6:24 pm
u.s.? >> chris, if that's what you're saying is in it, great. those are some steps and you have been so on the money on the fact that this is a crisis at the border that needs some addressing. clearly we cannot have all of these people in camps, children in cages, et cetera. so any step forward that helps that crisis is important. and it's not just a wall. but again, you may have inside information. i have no idea. i haven't seen anything. i haven't seen it at all. nobody has. so let's see. >> okay. >> give him credit if it works. >> no reason for you to argue that this was a good move because that's punitively what it's going to be until we see otherwise. however, to an obvious point and the governor did just make it, tariffs were never going to do anything to help with the instant crisis of giving dhs and hhs and cbp what they're begging for to treat these kids. make sure that they don't get sick and they don't die on our watch and that we don't wind up
6:25 pm
ruining a portion of a generation. where is the urgency on that? >> there should be more urgency. not only in the executive branch but within the congress as well. you have been very spot on and on point with this and by the way, belated congratulations on the anniversary for you and the extraordinary team. >> thanks for you guys for helping us get where we are. appreciate both of you. continue. >> our pleasure. but no, i think you had a congresswoman on the other night that seemed willing to negotiate with the president. to get to it and give dhs what they need to deal with this crisis on the border that the president has been talking about for sometime. >> i've never seen anything like it. where you have people saying we know that it's there. it's bad. we have to do something about it and they do nothing and then when you hear what's happening behind the scenes, each side is trying to attach stuff to what's supposed to be money they're
6:26 pm
asking for which will almost assure to kill the deal. >> it's mind blowing and the pulling away for funding for the countries in central america that need help in keeping people there in the economic conditions that are causing many people to leave as well as help with gang violence, all of that needs to be part of a comprehensive emergency package. i think that hopefully can get bipartisan support. i was encouraged by debbie's comments too earlier. >> i'm afraid. i just don't see it. i don't see that if they go one step past here's what they need to find more beds and get more medicine and processing agents that you'll have any agreement. even on that you haven't gotten anything done. >> it's interesting that the president, you know, there's a method to his apparent negotiating madness. it's worked with mexico and it's going to work with the northern
6:27 pm
triangle states as well. it's ironic though that he is having more lager heads and more with his fellow americans and his fellow elected officials. >> but you know why. you don't use tariffs for this. you don't use this brinksmanship because it sends a message. do you want to sit down with the president and see what you can do? he said why, the guy doesn't respect any deals. of course that's coming from iran. >> i beg to differ. >> this does send a message to people that this man will threaten you to get what he wants and that's not always well received. >> this is why the mexico thing is so important. it's not just important for our relationship with mexico and dealing with the crisis at the border. it's important with the bigger trade struggle which of course is with china. here we have a situation where there's a bipartisan backing of the president of the united states and the methods and the tactics that he is using. now that he seems to have settled things with one of our biggest trade partners and our
6:28 pm
neighbor, hemispheric brother, mexico, i think he can now have the will and the focus on the real bigger problem which is of course china. >> two things. back to you on this. one, china ain't mexico, okay? mexico is a relatively weak country. china is a relatively strong country. the idea that it worked here and it will work period. your sentiment. >> the subject area is different. in china we're talking about a trade issue. in mexico we were talking about human beings crossing the border and using tariff as a means to get at that. so they're different and what you were seeing in the tariff wars with china is that there is significant hurt across farms
6:29 pm
across the country and other businesses who are doing business in china. it's apples and oranges. >> short-term pain and long-term gape but we're going to see what the pluses and minuses are also. >> that doesn't mean that the way he's dealing with it now is going to make it better. it's the same argument on north korea. it's also about how. but you can walk away from the iran deal. you can go and be nice and say you're just as strong as i am and it's not like he's giving you anything that you wanted. i let you brush aside my question before. an identification issue with what was coming up with the
6:30 pm
migrants and it was never about them coming across. it was always going to be about kids and unaccompanied minors and how should he be judged for not having equal urgency for the compassionate part of the problem as he does for the harsh part of the problem. >> he should be judged for being a pioneer and talking about this and many within the mainstream media ignored the crisis and ed the president is trying to create a crisis. >> how is that not the case with determining the crisis is not the crisis. >> with women or children or individuals that buy children because they want to come across. >> a small fraction. >> small fraction. >> but that's not the crisis.
6:31 pm
>> bottom line is its a crisis. >> but you defined it as a brown menace to sell a fence that was never the fix. >> it's a part of the tool box. >> don't be sorry. you make good points. thank you as always. do you want a last word? i see you. >> no, no. >> thank you very much. >> i'm a dad and i think that's probably the closest thing to my drew identity that i have versus everything else. i have three kids and i saw something that tapped into every good feel i've ever had in the early stage of baby gaming. you saw it too. take a look at this. >> do you know what i'm saying? i was like what in the world? don't do that. do you know what i'm saying?

6:48 pm
much bigger things we're doing including mars of which the moon is a part. defense and science. what does that mean? who better to weigh in than resident space cadet d. lemon. trump seems to be backtracking on moon to mars mission. >> yeah chlts and moon not part of mars. >> okay. mark this on your calendars. >> please. >> i'm going to cut the guy some slack. >> good. >> i knew what he meant. he didn't mean the moon was an actual part of mars, he's saying it all falls under the same umbrella. this is my interpretation. we should be going to the moon but we should set our sights even higher and go to mars and continue with the moon. it does sound contradictory. the head of nasa, nasa administrator, told an audience at the international space
6:49 pm
development conference in washington that the very first space policy directive is we're going to go back to the moon. so i think he just means we should be setting our sights beyond the moon. >> i respect it but the facts are not your friend on this because what it seems like is he felt that nasa was somehow stepping on his success with what he was doing. he doesn't want them to have it. and athe white house has said they're official statements from the president. >> whether they say they are not, they are. >> sometimes a tweet is still a tweet in the old days. they tweeted that or whatever. it's a tweet, let it go. but when it's part of an
6:50 pm
official statement i understand. i get what you're saying. but i stand by what i say. i think i get what i meant. not that the moon was like attached to mars. it's not the same thing. we should just set our sights beyond the moon and so i'll leave it at that. i'll cut him some slack on that. >> not said he wanted to go to the moon. would you take the trip? >> yes. >> do you know how long it would take? >> it's 93 million miles from the sun. two, days, three days. >> to go 94 million miles. >> no, that's the sun. >> to go to the moon is going to take a while. three days for the astronauts. >> i thought it was three days. but now with the newer technology. who knows? that was back in the day. i don't really know. it's around three days. i just interviewed a gentleman who was part of the first space mission. i should know that. but yeah, i would absolutely go. i mean, who wouldn't? >> 100%, no reservations?
6:51 pm
>> i have regret for not taking the last ride on the congor. they were offering certain reporters to go on the concord. i didn't go and now i regret it. it's now been taken out of service. >> who was it, mark twain said you'll regret the things you didn't do. >> the things we're going to do in a few minutes. we have a presidential candidate that is going to talk about a -- her co-presidential candidate, one of her colleagues, or one of her people, her competitors, who has changed his stance on the hyde amendment, that means vice president joe biden. kirsten gillibrand is joining us on that. we have a representative from the vice president's campaign who will talk to us about that as well. >> good. >> and we have the first black yale student body president. >> oh, great, great. >> and by the way, the interview
6:52 pm
you just did with dj prior and little kingston. so i called immediately. i called lee daniels and i said lee did you know that they were watching the season finale, they were watching "empire," he said no, but he was excited. he said it made his heart light. he said that's what they try to do with that show. and these are his words. he said even with all of this hate and all of this division it's nice to see, again his words, that we're still winning, meaning the people he thinks are trying to do positive things. >> tell him to hook the guy up. >> he's very happy you interviewed him. >> tell him to hook him up, he's a performer. all right, question, what's wrong with straight pride? we have gay pride. shouldn't everyone have a parade? isn't it being fair? seriously? closing argument next.

first, we should all know that this is pride month all over the world. that's a time when we recognize those who are lgbtq and the freedom they deserve to be who they are. but even such a profound demonstration of decency and humanity can't always fix stupid. case in point. the so-called straight pride parade. you've heard about this. organizers have asked for a permit to march in august along the same route as the boston pride parade this saturday. this straight pride parade is being widely mocked online. and i want you to see why. look at this propaganda. we pleat with memes mimicking the true suffering the lgbtq community has long battled. buttigieg set these folks straight best. questions you may want to ask yourself before organizing an identity-based parade.
6:58 pm
was it ever legal -- can i be denied health services because of how i identify. is it legal to kill me in other countries for how i identify? in 2017 more than 1,300 americans were victims of hate crimes based on their sexual orientation. now the straight pride folks might point out that there were some heterosexual victims too and they'd be right. see the little sliver there, that's the slice, less than 3%. the human rights campaign notes 26 transgender people in america died by violence last year. already this year the number stands at at least eight. but go beyond the numbers. i want to show you the literal face of the suffering from just the last few days. this couple riding on a bus in london. they're coming home from a night out. a group of young men made lewd comments, demanded they kiss in front of them and then attacked and robbed them. >> it's not the first time in my life i feel violated even though
6:59 pm
this is the first time my nose is broken. >> that's melania on the right. >> boston's mayor doesn't think there's anything he can do to stop the straight pride parade. he suggests that people come to join saturday's festivities to show that love will always prevail. now, i don't know if that offer extends to the group behind this cruel and crude send-up but if straight people really want to define themselves in a positive way what we should do is make sure we stomp out those in our ranks that mock lgbtq folks like this guy. too many are saying that his bigoted attacks on the radio are just an exercise of free speech. he may have a right to say it but it doesn't make it right. instead of a march let's join ranks against that bigotry. besides, haven't we seen enough of what happens when marches of hate are carried out in places like charlottesville? no matter their origin they are
7:00 pm
magnets for the worst of us and not on both sides. you don't have to agree with celebrating gay pride but you should demand decency of yourself and others. and respect, over all, that this country is based on laws that should guarantee all of us the same rights. that is a path we must all march down together, now more than ever. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with d. lemon starts right now. >> you're making too much sense. and listen, i think what -- i feel similarly -- as you know, i'm gay, right? >> what? >> i know, news flash. you didn't know that? >> no, i'm surprised, you don't dress well. >> i thought you were, as much time as you spend in the gym, and putting it on social media. >> obviously watching. >> you don't want to go there. the whole studio is cracking up, by the way. so listen, ask yourself if you -- it
