y your whole life. from the day you're born we never stop taking care of you. an order to strike iran. >> i made a very bad mistake. >> the president calls it off at the last minute. >> everybody was saying, i'm a warmonger. now they say i'm a dove. i think i'm neither. plus, the 2020 democrats make nice. after a flareup with the front-runner. >> not a racist bone in my body. >> this is deeply disappointing. he knows better. and the president's 2020 plan. rally the base. >> our radical democrat opponents want to destroy you and they want to destroy our

country as we know it. "inside politics," the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. to our viewers in the united states and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. up first, a busy hour, high-stakes confrontation. president trump gave the go order thursday for strikes targeting iranian missile batteries and installation and within minutes to spare, he aborted the mission. the president decided in the end it was not proportional. >> everybody was saying i'm a warmonger and now they say i'm a dove. and i think i'm neither, if you want to know the truth. i'm a man with common sense. that's what we need in this country is common sense. i didn't like the idea of them knowingly shooting down an

unmanned drone and then we kill 150 people. i didn't like that. >> now, we know the president's top national security advisers favored the targeted strikes and those competing views are on public display today. his remarks to reporters yesterday, the president said he was confident sanctions against iran were working. even held out hope they would eventually come back to the bargaining table to negotiate a new nuclear deal. in israel today, listen here, the trump national security adviser john bolton striking a more hawkish tone. >> neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake u.s. prudence and discretion for weakness. no one has granted them a hunting license in the middle east. and as he made clear yesterday, referring to his earlier remarks, the president said, i just stopped the strike from going forward at this time. >> with us this sunday to share their reporting and their insights, julie hirschfeld davis with "the new york times,"

kaitlan collins, toluse olorunnipa and margaret talev. you see in john bolton, more aggressive, more forward-leaning, muscular posture a couple days after his boss said, whoa, dial it back. does the debate continue? debates internally are all fine and then the president makes a decision. debates more publicly gets interesting. >> he said he delayed the strike for now. john bolton seeming to say that's still an option for them. that's still the question, as iran tries to provoke the united states, as they continue to build up nuclear fuel. this isn't going to be completely settled and over. that's essentially why the president, you see him at camp david this weekend holding meetings and calls on iran. >> that's john bolton standing next to the israeli prime minister who is more hawkish than john bolton, if that's more possible. just standing outside the white house, the president of the united states, talked about john

bolton. >> i disagreed very much with john bolton. his attitude on the middle east and iraq was going into iraq. i think that was a big mistake. i think i've been proven right, but i've been against that forever. john bolton is doing a very good job but he takes it -- generally a tough posture, but i have other people that don't take that posture. but the only one that matters is me. >> he's right in that the president makes the decision in the end. any president should want an active debate, get all the options on the table. i don't know if it's xheetly unique but what's interesting about this administration is how often it plays out in public. >> this is like so many other things with president trump is he likes this whole good cop/bad cop thing and he gets to weigh in at some point and figure out, what's the decision going to be? i would note, given those comments, he is the one who decided to hire john bolton. if he disagreed so strongly about his position in middle east and past positions on the iraq war and other subjects,

maybe he wouldn't have hired him. i think the big difference here is, the president seems to believe or at least he's arguing now this kind of pushing and pulling publicly really helps -- strengthens his hand when it comes to iran. they're off-balance. somehow this makes him stronger and have leverage in this situation. i think to a lot of people on the outside, including a lot of republicans i spoke to at the end of the week after he pulled back on the strike, they think it looks like incoherence and weakness. that's their big concern. as this plays out in public, this undercuts instead of strengthens the president. >> i think the president has shown pretty clearly he does not have an appetite to start anything that could become a war with iran. there's a lot from zero to war, but the problem is, once you begin to escalate, you can quickly lose control of the situation. and the president by his words, by his actions, the fact he keeps trying it get iran back to the table, the president does not want this engagement.

but the president has also taken this posture of toughness. he's pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. he can't look like he's blanking especially after he gave obama such a hard time about him blinking. you see the president's political instincts and the president's personal appetite for this running up against how is iran going to behave? june 27th, just a few days away, is the date around which iran has suggested they may rethink their position on uranium enrichment and pull out of their part of the commitment with the iran deal. that's a lot of the time for this. >> we talk about the reaction here. i want to get to republican reactions. if you're sitting, if you're the supreme leader, president rouhani, head of the iraqi revolutionary guard? they pulled out. they are playing on iranian tv that they could have shot down a plane with u.s. personnel on that and they're thankful. if you pick up a sunday newspaper, read them all.

go to cnn.com as well. this from "the wall street journal." in private conversations friday, mr. trump revelled in his judgment. certain about his decision to call off the attacks while speaking of his administration as if removed from the center of it. quote, these people want to push us into a war and it's so disgusting, mr. trump told one confidante about his own inner circle of advisers. we don't need any more wars. again, that's a view he articulated going back to the campaign. going back to when he was in the business community. the question is in the here and now, if you're iran, where's the line? >> if you're iran you're looking at the trump administration and many so of the comments that come out of president trump's closest advisers about being tough and wanting to take action and sending hundreds of troops to the region. then you hear from president trump he's thankful iran didn't shoot down a different plane and he wants to have discussions and he thinks the iranian people in new york and else where are great people, they may be wealthy. it may be a replay of what we saw with north korea where the president and his advisers were talking about getting closer to war in 2017. then when there was an opening for dialogue, an opening to pull

back from the brink, the president jumped at it. he also revelled in the fact there were a lot of news cameras. he said it was like the academy awards and he likes the ratings with something unprecedented. he may do that with iran. we're not seeing iran take the bait. they're taking the opportunity to have dialogue with the. the. but it seems like a lot of incoherence from the president and his advisers. >> the secretary much state, national security adviser, told the president this was a good plan. targeted strikes. go for it. the president pulls back. you have a republican party. imagine if president obama did this. they said, you make america look weak. listen to one republican, liz cheney, daughter of former vice president dick cheney, saying the united states might be making a mistake and then pulling it back. >> if iran thinks it can demonstrate to the world that it can take advantage of the united states, that it's able to attack

and destroy one of our drones, without any consequence or with the only consequence being we now have to speak to them, i think that's very dangerous. >> president trump has shown he's going to stand up and do what's right when it comes to defending the united states of america. no country around the world should have any question that we will defend our own interests. >> that's within a couple of hours. that's the same congresswoman. my money is on she believes the first part but realizes we're headed into an election year. >> someone's phone rang. the president was asked yesterday as he was boarding the helicopter for camp david if the threat to civilian life had been less to 150, if it had been 10 or 15 people, would you then have been more comfortable with the strike? he sort of paused and said, not necessarily. he suggested that unless there's human casualties, unless there's u.s. or allied human life on the

line, he just doesn't have the appetite for this. >> what's interesting about all this is the lack of leadership at the pentagon which allows people like secretary of state mike pompeo and national security adviser john bolton to have outsized influence. not that pompeo doesn't already have a lot of -- carry a lot of weight with the president, but he's able to use that void to his advantage to push for things like this. but what we saw this week was really the limit of that when it came to iran this time. the question, and john bolton seems to be implying they can get their way next time, is what happens if iran does something else to provoke the u.s.? up next, the president calls off plans for big immigration raids that were supposed to be playing out right now. ed camara. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, who's tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad. get e*trade's simplified technical analysis.

to another dramatic last-minute change of plans. this one on the president's political issue, immigration. outside the white house yesterday the president defended his call for enforcement rate in ten cities targeting 2,000 families ignoring deportation orders. but shortly after arriving at camp david, he tweeted he was delaying the raids. to, quote, see if republicans and democrats can get together and work out a solution to the asylum and loophole problems at the southern border. if not, the president said, deportations start. nancy pelosi who called the president friday night to appeal for a delay defeated the move was welcome, and added this, time is needed for comprehensive immigration reform. families belong together. so, the pause button hit. if you look at what the

president said the democrats and republicans need to do in the next two weeks, and if you look at what the speaker said they should do in the next two weeks, there's your grand canyon on immigration we've lived through for the last 20 years, let alone the last 2 1/2 years. a, will anything get done? b, was it really the democratic request that got the president to stop or in-fighting in his own administration? >> not to be too cynical, i can't imagine either one of those -- either limited asylum or loophole bills or comprehensive immigration reform is going to take off in the next two weeks, as you pointed out, it hasn't been able to get off the ground in years. but the other issue is if there were asylum reform, if there were legislation to change the rules, that wouldn't affect the people who these raids this were to affect. some have deportation orders, many because they overstayed visas or some other reason, their only offense is having violated immigration laws.

and i think the president was -- he really, as tough as he is on this issue, he does not like to be seen as the bad guy when it i think that's the button nancy pelosi pushed. there's also a supplemental bill coming up on the house floor next week. there's enough risk that democrats are saying, we're voting against this to protest the president's measures on immigration. he department want that to go down. that humanitarian aid is needed. his own people are telling him that. >> the president tweeting moments ago, i want to give the democrats every last chance to quickly negotiate simple immigration reform. we just talked about the conflict on iran. you brought up the president's conflict on immigration. he made his campaign official with a big rally, mocking the democrats open border, which is part of his calling card.

here we are in the governing part of this president, who had an immigration deal on the table in his first term -- first years when republicans controlled everything. walked away from it. what is he -- >> doing? >> well, yes, yes. what is he doing? is there a strategy to actually get the democrats at the table every second we're having this conversation we're closer to an election in which they vehemently disagree on just about everything. where are we going? >> there used to be a time when republicans said democrats would not fix the immigration issue because they like it adds an election issue. seems like the shoe is on the other foot with the president having multiple opportunities to do something on immigration, to sort of fix the problem but instead flailing about with different policies, saying i'm going to shut down the border, tariffs. it's a political issue that he can talk about. even though there's a problem on the southern border with record numbers of families coming through, the president can say, i'm pulling out all stops. i'm doing what no one else is doing before. he can take it to his base and say, i'm doing a lot.

>> he's the president. he's ultimately accountable. he's right, there's a partisan divide that way pre-dates trump. look again, "the new york times" on friday. children as young as 7 and 8, many of them wearing clothes caked with knot and tears are caring for infants they just met, lawyers said. most of the young detainees haven't been able to shower or wash their clothes since they arrived at the facility. they have no access to toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap. whatever your views on immigration, this is america. you don't treat a fellow human being like that. that's on all of them, is it not? >> these stories are an outrage. you don't have to be a democrat or republican or any partisan affiliation to feel very concerned and outraged by these things. the president is aware of that. if you take the morality out of the equation for a minute and purely look at the politics, there aren't a lot of cameras able to get into these facilities. if there were, this would be a potentially even bigger political crisis. you are able to train a camera on a deportation, a forced

deportation that takes place essentially in the open component of it on a street corner. your posed with a situation where the president has given days worth of warning to people who are supposedly going to be forcibly removed. thus warning the media. you have tv cameras poised all over every city, san francisco, fill in the blank, to watch this play out. you can imagine the optics of it. the president has most likely calculated he gets points with his base for saying he's going to do it but carrying it out is much more complicated. >> i guess that's true. by the time people vote, he'll be president two months shy of four years. no wall will be built by then. he's in charge. again, the democrats have responsibility. this predates him. my issue is the mixed message. the president says, build a wall, pull back. the president pulls back yesterday, says, let's give it two weeks to work out. listen to one of his top deputies goes on fox news and

says this. >> the president is absolutely committed to enforcing the rule of law and maintaining the integrity of the system. a sure you, i've got the green light to anyone here, that's here in violation of federal immigration law, i have the authority and the support to go after them. >> this is as difficult an issue we've seen in this town for many years. when policy and politics gets intertwined, it makes it difficult. >> whether or not they go forward with these raids is you're hearing conflicting voices advising the president. you have mark morgan there and then dhs secretary who is not on board and does not want them to go forward in the aggressive manner the president was threatening. the president said millions of people will be deported starting last week. that's the question. who appeals to the president over the next few weeks? is he able to be swayed by

people like nancy apelosi calling him. i'm not sure because the comments he made leaving the white house were after he spoke to her and on the drive over to camp david the president tweeted there would be this two-week delay. the question is, do morgan get to president or is he going the way of kevin mcelhaney. >> is he willing to give democrats anything? to get more of what he wants, he has to give them some of what they want. up until now, the answer is no. up next, the 2020 democrats get ready for their first debates. politician say the darned esz things. this week the stress-eating situation. >> when you're a vegan, that means lots of veggies on the go. >> any kind of fast food. >> i love a good hamburger. you can't beat a burger. >> a baked potato. >> kind bars are my comfort food. >> so much comfort food. >> i have no comfort food.

>> word got out i like beef jerky. >> i'm an ice cream guy. >> glass of whisky. >> chips and guacamole. >> i love a good french fry, or a few, or many. every store. every day. the italian way. hello primo. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?!

our children are watching. they're watching. and the matters the president say and do. president barack obama they watched, they emulated. they wanted to be like him. four more years of donald trump will permanently change the character of this country. we can't let that happen. >> that's joe biden speaking yesterday at the south carolina democratic convention. ending the week among friends and ending it with no mention of

how contentious a week it was. the democratic front-runner came under fire for telling a fund-raiser in the audience came through with working with segregation. biden said, one, he never called me boy. he always called me son. senator cory booker was among the biden rivals who say the former vice president should know better than to cite such an example and he should know better than to use loaded words like boy. >> we need to have the difficult conversations in our country. even with those people we respect. especially if they have a chance to go on and lead. i hope this has been a learning moment for him. i hope he does not tread upon those tired, racist tropes that so hurt people in the past. >> biden insist he was not speaking kindly of the segregationist and his critics are twisting his words. >> i do understand the consequence of the word boy, but it wasn't said in any of that

context at all. to the extent that anybody thought i meant something different, that is not what i intended. and it would be wrong for anybody to intend that. >> where are we as we look at the past week and now enter the new week? biden will be on a debate stage by the end of the week. the question is whether his rivals bring this up. at a minimum, his language, use of words is from a different era and doesn't fit today. >> even before he made these comments, he had a big target on his back and democrats were much more willing to criticize him, criticize his record. talk about how he's representation of the past, not the future. now these comments are out there, how he's responded has almost been trumpian. i'm not going to apologize. you apologize. my words are taken out of context. they didn't play the whole trip. it's interesting to see the parallel to how he responds and how trump responds to scandals. that could be a downplay and depressing for the enthusiasm if

they see biden, a 70-something-year-old and trump handle issues of race and scandal in similar ways could depress enthusiasm on the democratic side. >> we'll see, joe biden will be on the debate stage. cory booker is not on the debate stage with vice president biden. he's in the first night's debate. biden is in the middle. buttigieg, harris, other candidates here. cory booker, several other candidates on television or when asked questions by reporters were willing to criticize the vice president. they all went to the south carolina democratic convention. an opportunity to speak to a largely african-american audience. none of them brought it up. they didn't bring it up talking to actual voters. will somebody bring it up on this stage? >> i mean, it was fascinating to see that sort of contrast because i think you had a real concern when these comments first came out that, you know, today's united states senate, today's congress, today's political realm is a lot

different than the one joe biden made comments about. there were segregationists, they were democrats. that was seen as, okay, they were members of the senate. now if you have someone espou espousing those views would be scandalous. it brings up the fact that he's from a different political time. on the other hand, i spoke to a lot of democrats this week who were angry about the controversy this generated on the presidential campaign trail and said, listen, we're dealing with a president who's been openly racist. if we're going to run against him successfully, we can't eat our own about a comment. i think that's the reason you're seeing this potential pullback. it will be interesting to see if you see this this week. >> it's a washington conversation more than an american conversation. . joe bide. hadn't said it, there's no

reason to say it. we don't know if it has impact or not, but it doesn't have to be an issue. you sometimes have to translate politicians but those who understand politics have no idea how this will turn out. 23 candidates in the early process. there's a possibility joe biden could be the democratic nominee. the speaker of the house, the current top elected democrat in the country, a little advice this week. >> i think authenticity is the most important characteristic that candidates have to convey to the american people. and joe biden is authentic. he has lived his life. he considers certain things a resource he has worked across the aisle. that's what he was saying. that's not what this election is about. >> take the head shake, take knowing nancy pelosi. she's saying, change the subject. stop saying things. talk about the economy and think before you speak. >> she's like -- >> that's what that was. >> she's like the yoda of the democratic party but dressed

better. but, you know, it's interesting because to some extent what you see playing out is a potential of a replay of clinton versus trump where you have someone who is the greatest strength, their greatest calling card is the experience and relationships and it's also their biggest liability because they have an entire record to get picked apart. there is a difference. clinton had more of an awkward public persona. biden has affable persona but on this he's defensive. that's a real test. if you're in your 70s, how do you know when to cut off history? do you want to be talking about stuff in the '70s and '80s or do you just want to start talking about politics in the '90s at some point? >> answer question when asked about it otherwise talk about elections. unlike clinton, joe biden is much more comfortable with people who work with their hands, blue-collar settings, factory workers, which is his way to get at president trump.

>> the next thing he did was put his shoulder against me. it was a work of a second to reach in under my -- it opened through the front, through the donna karan dress and pulled down my tights. that's when the adrenaline started. and it became -- it became a fight. >> i have no idea who this woman is. this is a woman who's also accused other men of things, as you know. it is a totally false accusation. >> cnn spoke this weekend with two carroll friends who say she told them of the assault at the time. eight 2020 candidates in miami at a summit for latino elected officials. some fearing that would lead to a big undercount of latinos. >> we will make sure that if there has been an undercount in 2020, that we get back out there and count every single american

whose choice and whose story needs to be part of the national conversation. >> it matters for voting. it matters for benefits. and the whole thing they say in washington is if you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu. and that is exactly what's going to happen. >>. >> elizabeth warren celebrating her 70th birthday on the campaign trail with her pus and a giant slice of chocolate cake. warren is moving up in the polls. neck and neck with sanders. they appeal to the same liberal voters. here is how bernie sanders explained her rise to chris cuomo. >> i think a number of people would like to see a woman elected. i understand that. there are people who would like to see somebody who is younger. and i understand that also. what i believe is that, in fact, i am the strongest candidate to defeat donald trump. >> is that why elizabeth warren is moving up?

>> a lot of people would like to see a woman elected, i think. but having watched the campaign unfold so far, it's deeply unfair to her to suggest the one reason she's rising is because of that. i think it's clear democratic voters like that she has specific policy plans that speak to what they're interested in, child care and health care and income inequalitity. i think bernie sanders knows that. this might have been an attempt to simplify the reasons he's not actually -- >> yeah, i think he might have leftover hurt feelings from the last election when he was against hillary clinton. of course warren has had the most detailed policies in the field. >> leftover feelings from the last election. >> remember that? >> no way. >> nobody has those. next 22 of the 23 democratic presidential candidates visited south carolina this weekend. think of it as a traveling job fair. >> we have a lot of great candidates in this case. great talent. great talent. i've already identified 18 potential vice presidents.

black women, 94% for hillary clinton. black men, 92%. latino men, 69%. la teen mow women, 63%. here and now as the democrats go into primary soeb. closer look. this is the calendar map. iowa goes first, then new hampshire, then nevada, then south carolina. for democratic candidates, largely white population. a more diverse population. 13% black and latino vote in nevada. 61% of the democratic voters in south carolina were african-americ african-american. that's why the voters this weekend have a direct appeal will help decide who comes out of south carolina with juice and momentum. it's also interesting to remember who identifies as liberals. 55% of whites say they are liberals. only 28% of black voters described themselves as liberals. as everyone says the democratic party is moving left, try to sell themselves in a state

critical in the primary process, they need to be aware of that. african-american voters not as liberal always as other voters democrats will encounter on the trail. this weekend joe biden is the favorite. other candidates trying to tell the african-american voters, give me a look. >> he wants to make america great again. well, what does that mean? us back to before schools were integrated? does that mean he wants to take us back before the voting rights act was enacted? because we're not going back! we're not going back! >> will you stand and dream with me again? if we dream together and work together and love together, we won't just beat donald trump, but we will make it to the mountain top and we will get to the promise land. >> the last week of february is a long ways off. as you sit here near the end of june, joe biden is the overwhelming favorite, but the big question is, does he fade, does he fail, does he falter as a front-runner or does he stay

in? if he stays in, does he keep the bulk of it or does the african-american vote because of the quality and diversity of these candidates, fracture? >> i think it's early. i think that's the reason there's so much support for joe biden. he has a long track record of civil rights issues, all these other candidates have an opportunity on the debate stage this week and throughout the next several months to introduce themselves to black voters, to introduce the type of policy prescriptions they have for issues that are facing the african-american community. it would be very interesting to see if joe biden, especially when he's seen as more and more of a gaffe machine and making unforced errors with some of the comments he's making, if he does start to lose some of that support and other candidates like cory booker or kamala harris or pete buttigieg, if any break into biden's support, it will be interesting. >> you mentioned mayor buttigieg

has said he has a problem. he's not well known nationally. even in south carolina, his crowds are largely white. he says he knows he needs to work on it. he has been off the trail and he went back home pause of a police-involved shooting of a black male. a very contentious community, including the victim's family. >> in front of all these cameras that black lives matter. >> did you just ask me if black lives matter? >> yes. >> we want to hear you say it. >> of course, black lives matter. >> y'all didn't do a damn thing about me ormy son or none of these people. it's about time you do something. i'm tired of talking now. and i'm tired of hearing your lies. >> the woman at the end there and you have to understand her grief, there's the victim's

mother, turning her back and walking away. how much does this real-time challenge at home affect his candidacy and the subset of him trying to reach out to the african-american community, which of course the incident in south bend and globally deeply concerned about police behavior? >> you have to do your job at home. that's the number one barometer. if you're asking people to judge you on the basis of your experience, it's want just past experience, it's current issues. it's also a test and also his primary responsibility. i think it's a little bit separate. i mean, this moves as a separate issue from whether black voters in south carolina or the south or super tuesday states are going to galvanize around biden because of what he's done in the past or booker or harris because they want to embrace the future. for pete buttigieg, it's kind of the worst of both problems encapsulated in one piece. you neither has the long record of civil rights work, the goodwill of decades, nor does he have the personal experience of

a person of color. and he's trying to make his case. >> he has a crisis at home here and now, which could either be very troublesome because of the spotlight or the debates or if he handles it correctly, it could be an opportunity. >> it's thrusting his leadership into a national spotlight. like you said, he's not someone who's nationally well known. has he does here, it will be the only thing people know about him. that's the question here. of course, it's going to be at the forefront. >> interesting times. a look at the historic diversity you'll be seeing if you tune in for the debates this week. get 2 medium, every day at marco's, 1-topping pizzas for just $6.99 each.

>> julie. >> this week is important to watch in terms of the direction and the pace of how house democrats are going to go forward on their investigations of president trump. and it now looks like they'll not hear in person from annie donaldson the top white house counsel aide who they are looking to talk to to sort of amplify the understanding of what don mcgahn and the president said and did with regard to potential obstruction but they have to decide whether they go to court to try to compel don mcgahn to appear, whether they go forward with the subpoena of -- or with the court action against the attorney general, mr. barr, and also how they're going to comport themselves with regard to mueller because they still don't have the response to their subpoena of mr. mueller, meanwhile the impeachment calls just continue to mount on the democratic side. now you have a third of house democrats calling for president trump's impeachment and so how those investigations proceed is going to potentially really affect that number in the week to come. >> interesting math to keep an eye on. kaitlan? >> just when you thought he was

gone, roy moore is back and running for a senate seat again in alabama but this time he doesn't have the president's support because president trump and his son donald trump jr. encouraged him not to run but roy moore is back where he's comfortable, being on the outside and not having support. this is something he'd had for decades in alabama and never stopped him before. and it is going to be a crowded primary field so he special could get this nomination. that is what is going to make things interesting and the president not supporting someone else in the primary last time, luther strange did not stop roy moore from winning and what will make this interesting if jeff sessions gets in the race because the senate from alabama is encouraging him to run. so if it comes down to whether the president had a endorse roy moore or jeff sessions, it is going to be pretty interesting to watch. >> i'm going to keep my mouth shut on that. >> so obviously the debates are taking place this week. and we've talked about how this is the biggest field of democratic candidates, also the most diverse field in stark

relief as we see all of the candidates on the stage together on thursday and wednesday and we're going to have six women on the stage, we'll have a historic number of minorities, we'll have veterans and people born in the 1940s through the 1980s. it will be a very historic moment just to see that on the stage together and one other thing a history-making moment on the first night we have elizabeth warren front and center in the center stage position, the first time a woman has been in that position in u.s. history. so it is a history-making set of nights and very interesting to see on stage. >> can't wait. it is a big week. margaret? >> i'm watching two things. the president is heading to asia for the g-20 and then on to korea and this visit, the g-20 in japan was supposed to be the main event is his meeting with the chinese leader xi jinping and this indication on trade, can he get the u.s./china relationship back on track but there are things that threaten to overshadow it.

one is iran, the latest events in iran and lingering recentment among the european allies that the president pulled out the iran deal and created the underlying tensions but agreement that iran is a bad actor and something needs to be done. so that is one big distraction and the other is going to be the democratic debates back at home and how the president tried to get the attention back on him and away from them and one more thing to watch this week on the anniversary of the fatal attacks at the annapolis capital newspaper and in the last year that is brought to attention the importance of local news and the vulnerability of those journalists. we'll be thinking about them this week. >> i'll close with this. supporters of the new u.s./mexico/canada trade agreement ended upbeat even though the woman is demanding changes, speaker pelosi, after meeting with justin trudeau say democrats have issues with labor and environmental rules and drug prices but there are about 30 democrats behind the scenes

ready to back that deal. and usmca supporters say another dozen or so democrats are close to yes. most of them are from competitive districts meaning they are critical to the democratic majority and because of that the backing usmca are betting speaker pelosi finds a way to get enough concessions to green light bringing a signature trump administration initiative to the house floor. let's keep an eye on it. that is it for "inside politics." catch us week days at noon eastern. up next, "state of the union" with jake tapper and the guest the vice president of the united states, mike pence. have a great sunday. ♪ ♪ "i'm okay." ♪ ♪
