we have fresh reaction to the deal struck minutes ago. what does she have to say about what should happen next. on the border. and he can run. joe biden can't hide. all his years of support for the hyde abortion amendment. he says he's against after fierce backlash from the party. we brand new information behind the backtrack. and prepare yourself for the hottest new internet sensation. lt father and son duo everyone has been talking about. they're here tonight. there's a story behind the video. smile your way into the weekend. it's friday night. let's get after it. >> from the president. i'm pleased to firefighter you the united states of america has reached a signed agreement with mexico. tariffs scheduled to be

implemented by the u.s. monday against mexico are hereby suspended. mexico in turn agreed to take strong measures to turn the tide. this is done to greatly reduce or eliminate illegal immigration from mexico into the united states. let's bring in michigan congresswoman. she warned her state would have been the hardest hit if the president made good on the threat. a little bit of relief for you. obviously. also acknowledgment the president made something happen. >> first of all we don't know what the agreement is yet. i'm very interested in knowing what it is. i am taking a sigh of relief. this state would have been very hit very hard. the autoindustry fragile. and this was just crazy idea that came out of nowhere. and we need a new nafta dole. in the middle of trying to get a

nafta deal he throws a bomb. i couldn't believe he was ever really going to do it. i don't know what's in the deal. and you watch the hour the 59 minutes at the border and the pregnant woman. you see the kids and ask where is our humanity? why aren't we caring about the people? >> answer your own question. i had democrats on this all week long. she has we'll give the money we want to guarantee they will give them safe places. i do not see the urgency that an emergency requires from your side either. i think you have to give the money to dhs. they're begging for it. and of course you want assurances. you're not doing anything and the situation gets worse. justify it. >> you are going to see the money will come. we're beginning the appropriation bill now.

we have already shut down the government once. it was the republicans. i think we have those that are seeking asylum that are escaping from gains that have had people murdered. the stories from michigan. the grandmother who was raped and money stolen and trying to protect her children. those are the people that we have to take care of. we do need to have a strong national security. we do need to have a strong policy at the border. i'm going to worry about the kids. >> that's my point. i agree 100% and appreciate your passion and focus. what i'm saying is i feel like you should have given the money. weeks ago. when dhs came and said we're 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 flores settlement. we need money for accommodations and staff and medical. you have done nothing.

the president did tariffs to show a stance. muscularity. that doesn't help either. where's the emergency action on your part? >> the appropriation bill. that will come to the floor next week. we need -- both sides have to come together and take care of this. we have to stop making this this constant -- >> god forbid something happens. even kids aren't enough. they are sick. they have died. >> they're dying. we do need to do something. and i'm one of the people that says it. and will vote it it. you'll see it as we see the appropriation bills. >> there can't be things tacked on. there are legitimate debates to have. the flores settlement. look at what you do with kids. people found it to be a loophole. people know if you come with a

kid you'll have a different route into the country. you have kids being recycled. and being exploited. you have to deal with it. you have kids right now that are living in squalor on or watch and nothing is being done. it's unforgivable. >> we have to do something. i have talked to people taking care of them. at the border here. and michigan. and it makes my heart scream. i think something we have to care about. we have to come together. if we're going to get the blank to actually get a immigration bill through. we need it we needed it for two decades. >> fine. you can't get money for kids in squalor. a bill. that's pie in the sky. one more thing. what you hear from democratic leadership about why they aren't

seizing obvious opportunity here? the president is all about harshness. we're about heart. here's this money for the kids. why didn't they seize the opportunity sooner? >> they have tried to. i do know they care. it's trying to get something through that will pass in democratic house or republican senate and get signed by a president. this is not -- >> haven't passed anything in the house. you have the in yonumbers there >> we'll see appropriation bills. >> means later. i'm saying why wasn't this done already. that's my point. >> i understand. i'm going to do what i can to get it through. there are people that care. and i know we have to do something. i keep screaming and working with republicans. for immigration reform. we can't keep kicking that can down the road. >> you have to deal with the emergency. and take -- >> the children. they need help. it's both of our responsibilities. we have to stop doing the war of words and do something.

>> now. deeper onto your side. the dingle way is to pick a way and go. that's what you're known for. the whole family is known for. that's not happening with you on how to hold the president to account. it seems to me -- not impeach or don't impeach. the hand ringing about how's 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 duty. make a decision about the best way to hold the president accountable or not. and do it. fair point? >> i think that is a fair point. i'm someone who is worried about this country. >> the democrats aren't doing it the dingle way. >> what you'll see next week is a vote in the house on contempt. two of the president's cabinet. which is going to show people we're serious. judiciary committee hearings monday call in people to talk about a number of the actual

situations of what's in the mueller report. etc. and i think that you'll start to -- the leadership is trying to figure out how to deal with the president who says nobody will come up and testify. that's not okay. it's never allowed that to happen in the past. >> there's only one move that will allow you to overwhelm the president's tactics. that is to be perceived having congressional authority which is impeachment inquiry. >> i don't necessarily agree. we have won in the court three times in the last week. >> they will be appealed. >> it we may get there. i think we have to continue to do the investigations and get the facts and hold people in contempt for not testifying. you may see that. we may have no choice but to do that. but in the meantime you're bringing the american public

along who see this president is refusing to testify. send anybody, be accountable. three branchs of government. and you have to come to the hill. you have to talk about the issues. he's refusing to send members of his administration on other issues. he's refusing to to do things that we have to address like infrastructure. and healthcare. way before november election. unacceptable. >> he's working the rules to his advantage. he wants to be oppositional. >> he's not -- he doesn't have the rules on his side. that's what we have to do. we have to -- we're in the court. that's what you'll see happening in the next week. >> fair point. >> people starting to hold people accountable. >> congresswoman, you're always a straight shooter. always welcome to talk about what matters. we have enough to talk about. >> too much to talk about. we'll keep doing it.

♪ i never wanna hear you say... ♪ no, kevin... no, kevin! believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. for years the former vice president biden grounded his position on abortion funding in moderation. i have stuck to my middle oflt road position on abortion for 30 years. i still vote against partial birth abortion and federal funding. that changed with one moment on

the campaign trail. here it is. >> will you commit to abolishing the hyde amendment which hurts poor women and -- >> yes. >> i'm glad you said you would commit. >> right now. it has to be. it can't stay. >> remember, the hyde amendment blocks federal funding for abortion except rape and incest. or the life of the mother in jeopardy. the cal pain initially said he misunderstood that woman's question. then seemed to argue that biden was four access and funding but also for the hyde amendment. >> what i don't get is, how can he be for the hyde amendment if he's against restrictions to access. that's exactly what it is. >> this is one area where i think he would explain it best in terms of how his faith guides him. >> i don't get it. >> look at his record.

in totality. >> fair to say the testing revealed an obvious inconsistency. sure enough the position changed again. candidate said this rather definitely. >> if blooelief healthcare is a right. i can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on zip code. >> what happened? the shift came after tough love from supporters. is this a flip-flop or evolving? it depends on what drives the change. so, the shift makes sense. but how it was done raises a question. of how ready mr. biden and his campaign are for this heavy fight to come. a suggestion 22 other democrats are eager to advance. the problem is, this was hardly an isolated incident. his campaign acknowledged it had lifted over peoples language in

the climate change plan. arguably a mistake by staffers. this charge is a sore spot given his 1987 presidential run was doomed by plagiarism allegations. and tuesday he looked out of step with something his team should have known would be a sore spot with the party. the role in the controversial 1994 crime bill. >> i wrote the crime bill. >> joe biden is still at the top of the pack by a lot. he is still the only kanld date in the top tier with centerist tendencies. campaigns are about moments, mistakes and momentum. this week shows he still does have vulnerability and may not handle them with the ease required. this apparent willingness to shift positions when he takes fire is only going to enscourge more attacks. i want to get back to breaking

we're here for a great debate. short term win for the president? he didn't have to put down the tariff. he got mexico to move into an area where it didn't want to be. >> lp listen, i have no idea. because we have no idea what the deal is. i know it is a win for michigan. in particular. you were talking to congresswoman dingle. we would have been affected. this is a crisis of its own making. will we continue to govern like this? threaten something horrible and when i do something i back off and in the meantime everybody is flum exed. there's no consistency. let's see what it says. i have no idea. >> let's assume. any reporting gives me security in the assumption. they will deploy national guard and what they should have been doing. if someone enters asking for

asylum. they should make the case there. not chaperon them into a third country. and that while people are waiting for adjudication. they will wait in mexico if they came from mexico. how's that not a good step for the u.s.? >> 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 this is a crisis at the border that needs some addressing. clearly we cannot have all the people in camps, in children in cages. so any step forward that is important. it's not just a wall. again you may have inside information. i have no idea. i haven't seen anything. nobody has. so, let's see. >> okay. >> i give him credit if it works. >> this was a good move because that's what it will be until we see otherwise.

however, to an obvious point. tariffs were never going to do anything to help with the instant crisis of the giving dhs what they are begging for to treat these kids. make sure they don't get sick and don't die on our watch and wind up ruining a portion of a generation. with is the urgency on that? >> there should be more urgency. in the executive branch and congress. as well. you have been very spot on and on point with this. belated congratulations on the anniversary for you and the extraordinary team. >> thank you for helping us get where we are. appreciate you both. continue. >> our pleasure. i think you had a congresswoman on who seemed willing to negotiate with the president. and get to it. give dhs what they need to deal with the crisis on the border. that the president has been talking about for sometime.

>> i have never seen anything like it. you have people saying we know it's there. it's bad. we have to do something. and do nothing. then when you hear what's happening behind the scenes each side is trying to attach stuff to what's supposed to be money for what they're asking for. that is sure to kill the deal. >> yeah. it is mind blowing. i would say the pulling away of funding for the countries in central america that need help in keeping people there. and the economic conditions causing many people to leave as well as help with gang violence. that needs to be part of the emergency package. that hopefully can get bipartisan support. i was encouraged by the comments to you earlier. >> i'm afraid. i don't see it. if they go one step passed here's what they need to build more places and find more beds. get more medicine and more processing agents. that you will have agreement. everyone on that you have not

got anything done. >> it's interesting that the president there's a method to his apparent negotiating madness. >> madness. >> it is worked with mexico. it's going to work with the northern states as well. it's ironic he is having more lagger heads and in traction with the american. >> you don't use tariffs for this. you don't use in kind of brinks man ship. it sends a message. the interview with the iranian foreign minister. he said why the guy doesn't respect deals. he's a hostile act. that's from iran. but -- >> i beg to differ. >> it sends a message. this will man threaten you. to get what he wants. that's not well received. >> it's so important.

it's important with the bigger trade struggle which is with china. and here we have a situation where there's a bipartisan backing of the president of the united states. and the methods and the tactics he is using. he seems to have settled things with the biggest trade partner and neighbor. mexico. now i think he can have the will and the focus on the real bigger problem which is of course china. >> two things. one, china ain't mexico. mexico is a weak country. china is a relatively strong country that can do a tariff game. and we're paying the price pr that. they have to give billions to farmers. the idea of it worked here it will work period. >> no, the subject area is different. in china, we are talking about a trade issue. in mexico we were talking about human beings crossing the border

and using tariffs as a means to get at that problem. the two subjects are different and i don't think the result will be the same. what you are seeing with the tariff wars in china is that there is significant hurt across farms across the country. and other businesses who are doing business in china. it's apples and oranges. >> they're playing a short term pain long term gain. we'll see. we'll see what the plus and minus. that doesn't mean the way he's dealing with it will make it better. >> if not now, when is this. >> it's about how. you can walk aafrom the iran deal. is it coincidence they're spreading like a cancer. you can say to kim you're as strong as i am. but not getting anything he wants. you were right to say congress

has a role and they're sleeping on it. this president wants to play the border as priority. and one mode. harshness. he gave people an identity issue. it was never about waves of drugs coming across. it was always about kids and unaccompanied minors and families. and he knew it. he was told it. how should he be judged for not having equal urgency for the compassion for the harsh? >> i think he should be judged for being the pioneer and talking about this crisis that was oncoming and the fact is that many on the other side of the aisle and within the mainstream media ignored the crisis and said the president is trying to create it. that is clearly not the case. >> how is it not the case? if what he was defining the crisis is not the crisis. >> the crisis be it women with

children. or be it individuals that buy children. because they want to come across. >> small fraction. >> but it's a part. >> that's not the crisis. >> bottom line it is a crisis. >> you define it as a brown menace to sell a fence. it was never the fix. it's a tool in the larger game. it was never going to help. now we're in a situation he could have prepared and he didn't. >> it's part of the tool box. >> he has to use other tools. you make good points. thank you. you want a last word? >> no, no. go ahead. >> thank you. >> so, i'm a dad. and i think that it's probably the closest thing to my true identity that i have vs. everything else. i have three kids. and i saw something that tapped into every good feel i have ever had. in the early stage of baby game.

look, sometimes you have to look at what the president said and try to make sense of it. it matters. here's one of them. a month ago the president was so gung ho about going to the moon. he tweeted himself. quote we're going back to the moon. then mars. you can imagine why there's confusion. when the president complained in a tweet today quote for all of the money we're spending nasa should not be talking about going to the moon. we did that 50 years ago. they should be focussed on the 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 way in than resident space cadet. he seems to be backtracking on

moon to mars mission. and moon not part of mars. >> okay, mark this on the calendar. please. i'll cut him some slack. i knew what he meant. he didn't mean it was an actual part of the mars. he is saying it falls under the same umbrella. this is my interpretation. we should be going to the moon but set our sights higher and go to mars. it does sound contradictory. the head of nasa jim bridenstein said in washington the very first space policy directive of the president said we're going to go back to the moon. okay. he jus means we should be setting sites beyond the moon. >> i respect the charity. the facts are not your friend. what it seems like is, he felt that nasa was somehow stepping

on his success. with what he was doing. by talking about sending people to the moon and he doesn't want them to have their own thing. he wants it to be about it to be about his thing. either way, he would get the credit. >> i take your point. you could very well be right on that. the problem is, is that the white house has said that tweets are official statements from the president. >> whether they say it or not, they are. >> i would say, sometimes a tweet is just a tweet in the old days. they tweeted that, let it go. but when it's part of an official statement, i get what you're saying. but i do -- i stand by what i say. i think i get what he meant, not that the moon was attached to mars. it's not the same thing. we should set our sights beyond the moon. >> i would be fine roy that. he should have not said he wanted to go to the moon. would you 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 93 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? >> 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 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. -we bought a house in a neighborhood with a lot of other young couples. then we noticed something...strange. oh, could you, uh, make me a burger? -poof -- you're a burger.

replete 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. was it legal for me to be jailed for my identity? 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 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 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
