who used expedia to book the vacation rental which led to the discovery that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. expedia. everything you need to go. welcome to "inside politics". i'm in for john king. thank you for starting part of your sunday with us. right to the big news that broke overnight. adjustment a few hours ago, president trump became the first sitting president to step into north korea. he went 20 steps across the demarkation line surrounded by heavy security. the two leaders stepped back and addressed reporters.

>> translator: i believe this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. >> stepping across that line was a great honor. a lot of progress has been made. a lot of friendships have been made. and this has been in particular a great friendship. >> it's the third time the two leaders have met in person after the 50-minute ad hoc summit, trump claimed real progress in their nuclear talks. >> we just had a very, very good meeting with chairman kim. we each agreed we would designate a team, and the team will try and work out some details. again, speed is not the object. we want to see if we can do a comprehensive good deal. big stuff. pretty complicated.

but not as complicated as people think. >> cnn's paula hancocks is in south korea. when are the implications of this historic meeting? >> reporter: well, manu, what we were promised this morning was effectively a hand chicago shake or two-minute chat. what we saw was more than that. more than an order the two leaders were behind closed doors. it was the leader and the u.s. and the leader of north korea. so it was more than we were expecting. now, of course we don't know exactly what was said behind those closed doors. i mean, this wasn't a summit. but also potentially it's a little more than just handshake diplomacy. what we heard from president trump is that they have, as you heard there, they have agreed to set some teams together to start the working level talks. now, this is crucial to have these working level talks. yes, this is a top-down approach, and the leaders are the ones pushing for this doctor

their relationship is the one pushing this forward at this point. without the working level talks, this denuclearization process is going to go nowhere. it was notable that president trump didn't mentioned word denuclearization the whole afternoon. potentially he mentioned it behind closed doors. it was more talking about what an honor this was, stepping over the mdl, he described as an honor. kim jong-un said it was courageous and erpld did. there was a lot of flattery on both sides. one interesting thing i wanted to mention as we heard from kim jong-un, as he was leaving --. >> we lost paula. we will try to bring her back as we continue this conversation. joining us now with reporting and insight, eliana johnson, gordan chan, author of "nuclear

showdown", north korea takes on the war. after the singapore summit, the president said there is no longer a nuclear threat. this morning he said after the first summit, all the danger went away. while nuclear weapons testing and long-wrong nuclear ballistic testi testing, there shhas been shor - short-range testing. is in a risk that the president may be being played for this historic photo-op? >> reporter: well, the north koreans always try to play americans, chinese, russians, south koreans. so of course there is that risk. indeed, kim jong-un has not made a strategic decision to give up his weapons. and we know that because he has continued to produce material. there has been noticeable upgrade of facilities. what we can see from satellites,

what we can observe by other means, north korea is continuing full steam ahead on its dangerous weapons programs. >> michael, first to you. he relies a lot on personal relationships. what does it say about getting the actual results at the end of the day? >> the thing that has been so striking about the way he approaches these across the board, he does it backwards from the way normal diplomatic efforts have been done. normally presidents and governments will try to build the kind of agreement between the two nations with lower-level staff and building up to the sort of minister level. when you either have the deal done and you want to announce it or you almost have the done deal and you need a final push from the leaders, you bring the leaders together. this is entirely backwards. there is zero evidence there's been any progress made kind of to actually work out the deals

of any kind of agreement. obviously the most important the denuclearization. the president announced teams will be meeting. this is the third time with chairman kim. and there's been no evidence that it's worked so far. that is the challenge, that he %-pl relationship. >> and we saw that also with the chinese leader. he gave big concessions. but still not closing any sort of deal. similarly here with north korea, it isn't the president's style. he is the great deal maker. when do we expect deals to be had? >> you know, it's interesting. because the president puts so much stock in one-on-one his own ability to negotiate with other world leaders, it makes it difficult for progress to take place if he's not at the table.

and so progress stalled after the meeting in hanoi a couple of months ago. and the president -- and north korea simply fell off the map. working level meetings were not able to take place. there were rumors that north korean officials involved in those meetings had been executed by kim. and for the president, he is greatly invested in progress, continuing with north korea. that's why you saw him wanting to have this meeting with kim. the president was the one who issued the invitation. and this was a classic trump foreign policy move. where he does the personal meeting, and the meeting itself is the progress. >> how will his own team deal with this. we have seen john bolton has taken a more hawkish line. he was not there. he had a preplanned meeting. how will his team take this going forward? will they be in line with the president. >> well, i think it depends. in the china example, there have been talks to try to deal with the trade situation that have

gone forward. they haven't reached a deal yet. there have been engagements between the two countries. if what the president announced today, you know, suggests that it really does -- that there really is an engagement with north korea over some of these issues, there is a chance that the diplomatic approach pushes aside the more hardline view. if it doesn't, it gives a notion for the hawks to be able to say we have to take a harder line. >> the north koreans are not dealing with anybody in this administration except for trump because they understand they're getting the best deal from the president himself. they don't want john bolton at the table. they don't want mike pompeo at the table. they will only engage if it's president trump. >> i want you to listen to what the president said before this meeting defending his approach about his handling here and the

criticismlegitimizing a rogue regime. >> i think i can say the hatred that everybody had for everybody and where it was going. and i said if president obama's term was for some reason extended through any method, including having a successor that thought the way that that administration thought, you would be right now at war with north korea. >> do you agree with the president? would it have been much different if hillary clinton had been president, a much different approach with significant implications here? >> i think if secretary clinton were elected, she probably would have done traditional diplomacy. she would have reached out to the north koreans. there would be interagency discussion.

president obama, to a large extent, thought north korea was too hard. he left it to president trump. but by no means were we on the brink of war when president obama's second term ended. and i don't know where president trump gets this or why he talks about it. this is not really appropriate. and also it's just not relevant for today's discussion. >> and paula hancocks is back with us. you're in the demilitarized zone. how are they viewing what happened this morning, what they believe should happen in the days ahead? >> reporter: well, manu, there's no doubt about it, this was a massive coup for the north korean leader. he can go back to this pyongyang and play this domestically in the u.s. president came to his doorstep and asked to meet him and he had a conversation with him. from an international point of view, this only legitimizes him

more in the eyes of some. the fact that he has had a third meeting with the u.s. president, when previous presidents did not want to meet him because they wanted to see something happen first. they wanted conditions on any kind of potential summit. so from kim jong-un's point of view, this really is only going to be played positively. there was some concern, according to some experts, that he may feel he is being summoned by the u.s. president. but i don't subscribe to that. the fact is he has these amazing pictures he can now take home. stepping over the border with moon jae-in just last april. and now the exact same pictures stepping over the border with the u.s. president donald trump. he has an historic picture which i know will be playing on a loop here in south korea. interestingly, they haven't actually reported on this yet. we will have to wait and see what they do say.

>> thank you for joining our conversation. so much here on this historic meeting. up next, kamala harris's breakout performance at the first presidential debate. call her the pun it did in chief. not impressed. >> i think she was given too much credit for what she did. it wasn't that outstanding. u go! ♪ woo! ♪ ♪ ♪ 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?!

of kamala harris, raised clear doubts. >> it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. and it was not only that but you worked with them on oppose bussing. you know, there was a little girl in part of california that was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. and she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> it is a mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racists. that is not true. the bussing -- i never -- you would have been able to go to school the same exact way because it was a local decision made by your city council. >> biden had another chance to defend himself on friday at jesse jackson's rainbow

coalition summit. . >> i heard and i listened to and i respect senator harris. we all know 30 seconds to 60 seconds on a campaign debate exchange can't do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights. i want to be absolutely clear about my record and position on racial justice, including bussing. i never, never, ever opposed voluntary bussing. >> in fact, as a youngster in the 1970s, he opposed court-ordered bussing, the practice of sending white students to majority black schools and vice versa. he said he favored desegregation but wasn't an effective tool to do it. >> i happen to think that the one way to ensure that you set the civil rights movement further back is continue to push bussing.

>> what do we make after the biden's performance? he was positioned himself, at least tried to be the pepper who could take on donald trump the most effectively. doesn't this undercut what happened? >> i think so. the whole electability argument that biden makes, biden supporters makes, the err of inevitability. it rests on this visual of him taking on donald trump on the debate stage and can sort of go man-to-man with donald trump. that took a huge hit with kamala harris's really strong, personal, effective performance. it wasn't an angry performance. she wasn't really aggressive, but she was very strong. one of the most effective lines she had there was basic live to talk about this being hurtful to her, right? this idea that joe biden worked pretty closely with eastman and people who really hated black people to push an agenda that

really was anti-black, anti-incident aggression. there he was in the '70s working with these folks. we'll see what this means. a, can she do better with african-american voters. this idea whether she can be electable. and it rests on iowa, new hampshire. >> this is what he says, jim hodges, about joe biden. he said the race is wide open. the paoeuden people need to be deeply concerned is the aura has worn off. there are formidable candidates out there who demonstrated they can go toe to toe with donald trump. is he right? >> well, the debate, yes, he is right. it did more to scramble than clarify this presidential field. you had two front-runners going into it and they did not have stand-out performances. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren unscathed. no one turned to her and

challenged her. the second night harris with the breakout performance. and castro did pretty well. the two front-runners did not emerge as the obvious two front-running candidates. >> yeah. kamala harris, the question for her, how does she keep this alive? after the debate, they had her best fund-raising so far. $2 million raised in 24 hours. 58% of those donations came from new donors. she had a stumble herself about private health insurance saying that she didn't necessarily favor getting -- first she raised her hand about getting rid of private health insurance. but she also supports a national health care plan, essentially medicare for all that would do away with private health care. how vulnerable will that be if she is the nominee? >> that is the problem for all the democratic candidates, to

walk the line between how do you fire up the line but leave yourself electable in the general election when people will be far more skeptical of some of the far left, more radical ideas that many of these candidates are putting forward. and i think you saw her sort of stepping back from the idea the next day stepping back from the idea of getting rid of private insurance. i think, you know, incident was so it was a classic moment where you had a great breakout moment that kind of pushes you in your mind at least. we're a far way away. it pushes you to the idea of, gee, i might be the nominee. immediately there is this recognition of, oh, i'm going to have to adjust if and when that happens. i will have to adjust what i'm saying. some of this won't be good. all of that laid out in a matter of hours. and there's a long way to go. and i definitely think the question of how they calibrate and walk the line is going to be important. >> we saw the 2020 candidates jump to her defense in a tweet

that was shared by the presid t president's eldest son donald trump jr. posted by a right wing activist questioning her -- kamala harris, whether she is black enough. it says kamala harris is not an american black. she is half india and half jamaican. i'm so sick of people robbing american blacks like myself of our history. it's disgusting. now using it for debate time. he later deleted that tweet and claimed that the spokesman said,s well, he was referring to the fact that he didn't know she was half indian. although he doesn't say that in his tweet. >> wow, she's half indian? >> they did look at tweets from joe biden, cory booker, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders saying donald trump jr. is a

racist too. shocker. what does the response from the president's team show us how they view kamala harris's moment in her debate performance from thursday? >> yeah. i think that donald trump jr.'s instinctual response to dabble in that conspiracy theory shows they view her as a formidable candidate who they are eager to undermine. that is walking toward the obama birther conspiracy that trump himself more than dabbled in. you know, i know for a fact that talking to trump campaign aides that they believe that kamala harris has considerable political skills. i think the question is, you know, my politico colleague chris catalogueo had a great story how kamala harris practiced that moment in the debate. she went back and forth with her aides about different responses that biden could have given her. and i think the question for her is can she do as well in

unscripted moments? there will be many of those on the campaign trail. we know that president trump and his team were quite impressed with her campaign rollout. but she sort of receded after that. and so i think the challenge for her is unscripted moments, can she keep up this momentum. we know she is skilled in the contrast coming out of that debate was kamala v. biden, not bernie v. biden. which is what people people expected. he disappeared in the debate. not a good outcome for him. but can kamala keep it up? >> yeah. do you think this conspiracy theory that donald trump jr. initially shared and deleted, will that continue during the campaign? >> i think the sort of -- it's getting at a conversation that does exist some african-americans about kamala harr harris's blackness.

mainly trolls on twitter. you saw that with obama as well. did he have the true american black experience which we all know doesn't really exist. since he wasn't from african-americans who had an experience with slavery. so, you know, we'll see. we'll see. they are very aware of these conversations that are going on among african-americans. and i think it's exacerbated by her history as an attorney general, prosecutor. some think it is exacerbated by the fact has a white husband. we'll see. her challenge is to obviously get black support but also to show black voters that she is electable and she can get white support as well. . >> we'll discuss more of this in the days ahead. ahead, the picture that shocked a nation and what wh washington is going to do about it.

our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. that is other direct message to the families in central america. do not accepted your children to the borders. if they do make it, they will

get sent back. >> then president barack obama in 2014 with a message to parents sending unaccompanied children to the u.s. the problem now has morphed into a surge of families crossing the border with their children, sometimes with disastrous results. this picture shocked the nation this week. oscar martinez, his 24-month-old daughter valeria dead after a failed attempt to reach the u.s. activists plame a policy they say is encouraging more people to cross in dangerous areas. president trump points his finger at policies like the flores ruling that are encouraging parents to bring their children with them knowing it will mean a foothold in the u.s. >> i hate it. and i know it could stop immediately if the democrats change the law. the democrats refuse to change the loopholes. they refuse to change the asylum. in one hour, we could have it

done. they want to have open borders. and open borders mean crime. open borders mean people drowning in the rivers. and it's a very dangerous thing. >> of course the president there blaming the democrats not recognizing the fact that he had a republican-controlled congress for the first two years. they tried immigration several times and they could not get legislation through either chamber. despite these euimages which shocked them over the past week. >> no. look, part of the problem was immigration is a tough and difficult political situation long before donald trump got here. but the level of trust, if there was any between the two parties that you need to try to get some sort of compromise done, has been completely eroded the last two and a half years. democrats do not trust that donald trump is operating in good faith when it comes to this issue. and so despite the kind of human tragedies, and that was the

photo clearly depicts one of them. but there's lots of human tragedies that have played out over the past, you know, couple of years. earlier, lots of migrant deaths and lots of suffering in deplorable conditions. despite all that, i think the likelihood, the outlook for any kind of real compromise that would address the real problems, not the sort of imagined problems on one side or the other is i think very low. >> and the president had warned they were going to carry forward with these raids, i.c.e. raids leading to deportation. he delayed it a couple of weeks, said he would let congress come up with immigration legislation. that didn't happen. they did pass a $4.6 billion aid package last week. the president supports that plan. but it doesn't deal with some of the underlying issues that both parties recognize here. the president did say at his press conference yesterday that they are still going to move forward starting in a week sometimes after the fourth of

july that they are still going to move forward with these i.c.e. raids. any idea how this will play out? is the president just saying this, or is he doing something just to make his base happy? >> i don't think we have any idea whether the raids will take place. as many people have noted, when you carry out raids, you don't announce that. so the president announced them and then said they were going to be delayed. a lot of the president's talk on immigration and with regard to the united states's relationship with mexico has been a lot more talk than action. he said he was going to close the border with mexico and retreated on that. he said he would impose tariffs on mexico and retreated on that. now he said he will carry out the raids. it leaves the average person watching this play out completely uncertain whether this is all talk and no action or whether, in fact, some action

is, in fact, forth coming. >> and we are seeing it widen between the two parties. pictures of 13 democrats at least of the 2020 candidates visiting that florida homestead facility, detention facility. this occurring after that debate. this also came after the debate where they discussed immigration. they were asked about undocumented immigrants and whether or not health care coverage would be provided, how to deal with people crossing the border. this is what she said. . >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. [ applause ]. >> should someone here without documents and that is his only offense, should that person be deported? >> that person should not be the focus of deportation. we should fundamentally change the way we deal with things. >> no. that person can be part of this great american experience.

>> no, absolutely not, they should not be deported. >> the shift to the left here is pretty significant. a decade ago, president obama was before congress and said undocumented immigrants would not get access to health care coverage. and congressman yelled at him, you lie. that was a you lie moment. >> democrats have a real challenge on their hand with the issue of immigration. he has used it effectively to gather people around his vision. they can try i to neutralize by moving somewhat toward him or fight fire with fire with a pro-immigrant passion and try to turn out hispanic voters. with regard to health care, this goes back to 1986 law that already insists nobody can be denied emergency care. so right now a lot of people are not covered. they get sick, they go to the emergency room. we have to pick up the tab. it is a much more complicated issue. you're right, it looks like they have moved in a much more aggressive position. >> we will see if they're right.

i met with every leader, presidents, prime ministers, dictators. >> at this hour, the president is on air force one heading home from his four-day trip to asia. he had warm words for the saudi crown prince salman. in a sitdown where vladimir putin, they joked about russian election interference, though he later denied it. >> it seemed like maybe you didn't really meet it when you said yesterday don't medal in our elections, mr. president.

and then you started laughing. >> you have to take a look at the words. i said the words. you know he denies it totally, by the way. how many times can you get somebody to deny something. but he has in the past denied it. >> he has in the past denied it. the president, he continues to take the word of autocrats and dictators. he said mohammad ben salman denied involvement in the killing of khashoggi and said no one pointed the finger directly at him. his own cia has done that. he continues to do this, to take their word for it. why? >> it continues to be shocking, right? if you think about his real praise of kim jong-un, the fact that he takes the north korean dictator's word in terms of the murder of otto warmbier, which the leader of the country would know about it. in some ways it's not surprising because this has been what the

president has done throughout his presidency. do something different from most american presidents. not only coddle and praise them but also just turn a blind eye to the massive human rights violations that are going on in these countries. not only north korea but saudi arabia as well. i don't think it's going to change. he seems to enjoy their presence. in some ways he seems to be jealous of the autocratic way in which they are able to run their countries and the fact that they are immune to press scrutiny. so, i mean, yeah, i imagine if you're a democrat, you're looking at it in a way to contrast it. >> and other leaders including theresa may who called out vladimir putin on election interference. >> clearly i had a great night. people want to know can you stand up to donald trump, can you handle yourself, can you hold your own. and i more than held my own last night.

elizabeth warren and bernie sanders may be leading the charge for liberal democrats, but they are far from alone. if this week's debates made one thing clear is how far left the party has moved since the days of barack obama. >> raise your hand if you think

he is still playing to his base as president. do you believe that will carry him to the white house? can democrats play to their base and win in 2020? >> i think it is an interesting question. president trump's base wasn't the traditional republican base. he upended the republican orthodoxy on immigration, and he up ended it on entitlements. so i think when i look at the democratic candidates is there a candidate who will upend what the party's orthodoxy is on a couple of issues and make the democrats rethink what their base really stands for in the way that trump did. >> you know, elizabeth warren, after the first debate, a lot of people give her credit saying she won the first debate. that's not how they see it. it's bernie sanders won the debate. do you agree that this looks like the party is moving towards him on some of these key issues? . >> that's absolutely true. the party has moved on issues like single payer health care, for instance. $15 an hour minimum wage. i think many of us can overstate

sometimes the importance of the left-to-right spectrum. the more important is the outside/insider spectrum. if the democrats put up someone who can stand up to globalization, trade, how it has led to stagnating wages. liz wetting warren is trying to do that with her economic plan earning praise from tucker carlson. >> the obama voters, that's how he won. the republican base. >> but the voters who are going -- who he is talking about have to be open to listening to the candidates. and if the democrats are so far left on some of the hot button issues that the middle of the country tunes them out when the general election comes along because they are not willing to listen on trade and globalization, some of these other things, the democrats will find themselves in a tough spot. >> i want you to look how the

people viewed this versus on the google search trends, how this came across. look at wide swaths of the country, tulsi gabbard who wide swaths of the country searched for. >> who knows why? >> after the first debate. cory booker in the southeast. after the second debate, you look at the second debate. here we have kamala harris in major parts of the country there. also pete buttigieg too. maryann williamson. >> the mitten state, michigan. >> do we take anything from this? or people are curious? >> i think it's curiosity. we don't know what sparks of interest in gabbard. was it her stance on foreign policy? she talked mostly about foreign policy. best-selling author from 1992. oprah's bff. i think er book was "return to love." yeah, she had interesting moments where she said democrats won't win on white papers, they

will win on a slogan. at least in her assessment -- >> and we will see if she makes it into the second. >> up next, reporters share from their notebooks, including the supreme court scheduling where it is sure to be a momentous election year decision-making. and you should be mad at people who take unnecessary risks. how dare you, he's my emotional support snake. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, whose tech helps you understand the risk and reward potential on an options trade it's a paste. it's not liquid or a gel. and even explore what-if scenarios. where's gate 87? don't get mad. get e*trade and start trading today. here's another reason to join t-mobile. get unlimited data and texting in over 210 countries and destinations. and here's another reason to join. bring in your discount, and we'll match it. that's right. t-mobile will match your discount. so are the traits you love about your breed,

time now for a great reporters to share a piece from their notebook to get you out in front of the week ahead. ileana. >> i'm watching the trump administration and iran. on thursday that was the date that the iranians set for surpassing the limits set by the nuclear deal for enriching uranium. the trump administration has been giving waivers and maintaining part of the deal for iran nuclear program -- civil nuclear program and the question is whether the trump administration will continue to issue the waivers for international projects, working on that program, given that iran has now surpassed that limit. so i'll be watching that. that is next up in august. and if they don't issue the waivers, they're under pressure from hawks like john bolton and his allies in congress not to do so. that will be a big deal. >> the pressure will -- the

president will face pressure from the hawks as well. >> absolutely. >> mike. >> so on friday the supreme court started a new political and legal clock ticking when they said they would decide the fate of the daca program. of course president obama started the daca program to protect young undocumented migrants brought to their country as a small children and president trump ended the program saying it was an abuse of excessive authority and the courts disagreed and the supreme court will decide and the key questioning is timing. the court is going to hear arguments this fall during the democratic primary and decide the case next june right at the beginning of the presidential election. the closest that day gets, however, the more pressure there is on congress to finally come together and do something that they have been unable to do for literally years and that is to solve this problem before the courts have to solve it for them. >> and inject right into the

heart of the campaign season. >> i'm told kamala harris plans to talk about her personal story and biography going forward. it is not something in her crom for the zone but after the positive debate response talking about her story as a black girl who grew up in a neighborhood benefited from busing she's decided that people want to know who she is and where she's coming from. i would look out for this and the trump people expect her to rise and expect a potential nickname. >> always expected with this president. >> who julian castro had a good debate performance like kamala harris and looking to capitalize on that. he's spent some time in texas this weekend. one of the arguments you saw him try to make during the debate is he too could win in unlikely places. spent time in texas this weekend. going forward, this next week, he will be in rural nevada. again, making that argument that he, too, like beto, making this name argument and pete buttigieg

and that is interesting. how does he capitalize on what was a good debate performance from him as well so look for that in the coming days. >> and we'll hear from this many morning. when the president found himself in hot water, republicans on capitol hill have looked the other way. that is the case in recent days in the aftermath of the allegation made by the writer e. jean carroll that the president raped her 20 years ago and something the president denied. many republicans sized up questions when asked about this last week. but democrats are also showing little interest in pursuing the matter. speaker pelosi said she doesn't know what congress's role would be over this alleged episode and when i spoke to the house oversight chairman elijah cummings he told me, haven't decided whether to pursue that yet. we have got 85 investigations, i'm going to look at it over the break and prioritize. of course things were different when democrats were in the minority. then cummings and gop called on

the house to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against trump then something trey gowdy declined to do and now democrats are trying to get the investigation moving and looking into further abuse of power in the white house, conflict interest and foreign entanglements and allegations of obstruction of justice in the mueller report and something discussed in the mid-july hearing with the special counsel himself robert mueller. that is it for us for "inside politics." catch us week days and noon eastern. up next is "state of the union" with brianna keilar. her guests are amy klobuchar and julian castro. what? what?? what?! (laughing) what?? what?! what?! [crash] what?! haha, it happens.
