succeed ♪ >> reporter: maybe that's what confused the president, michael wearing john's mustache. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> thanks so much for joining us. "a.c. 360" starts now. good evening. new poll in tonight and it confirms what many debate watchers suspected. the democratic presidential race is shifting to kamala harris' direction at joe biden's expense and more evidence from the g 20 trip he's more happy talking to tyrants than heads of state like himself. before going further, hard headed diplomacy deals with savory characters and out right thugs and if that's what the president was doing, it would be controversial but for good purpose or a definable purpose. inste instead, his critics and they

span the spectrum, worry this president turned a diplomatic necessity for advancing the democracies into something else such as failing to rebut vladimir putin's claim that western style lib lieralism is obsolete. he didn't do what john f. kennedy did when he confronted nikita and didn't defend what nato was to form instead he confused western style lib list m with t -- liberalism with opposition in california. >> i don't know what they are thinking but when you look at los angeles, when you look at san francisco, when you look at some of the other cities and not a lot, not a lot but you don't want it to spread. >> again, that's president trump's answer to a dictator claiming that everything the west stands for is dying, which would be news to every american that fought in korea or the second world war or on the front lines now and the president

commiserated about a free press and when asked about attacks on western democracy, he made light of it. there is just something that meeting with putin that does it to him that makes him guilty and dictator curious. the same for saudi crowned prince mohammed bin salman that is said to ordered killing of jamal khashoggi. he said nobody pointed a finger at him for the killing. the cia has and a u.n. investigation has and the president just got started tweeting i'll be leaving japan for south korea with president moon and if kim saw this, i would meet with him at the border. call me, maybe. kim did. the president became the first to set foot in north korea in office and boy, did it play up as a big moment for himself.

take a look. >> i actually stepped in with chairman kim. i stepped into north korea and they say -- [ cheers ] >> and they say that's a very historic moment and i think it is a historic moment and a very good moment and he asked me would you like to do that? i said it would be my honor and we did and we went over the line, and turned around and everybody was so happy, and many people i noticed from korea were literally in tears crying, crying because this is a big thing. it's a big thing. >> not only a big thing but even bigger because it achieves he says what his predecessor couldn't, which is factually untrue which as is this statement you're going to hear from the president. >> nobody was going to meet. president obama wanted to meet,

and chairman kim would not meet him. the obama administration was begging for a meeting. they were begging for meetings constantly, and chairman kim would not meet with him, and for some reason, we have a certain chemistry or whatever. >> call it chemistry, call it love, the president certainly has it. it's unclear what if any concession the president got in exchange for the visit. "the new york times" is reporting administration may be willing to settle for a freeze on nuclear development, meaning kim gets to keep the arsenal that goes without saying is great for the dictator, not so great for american ally south korean japan that puts this statement from the president in a certain unflattering light. >> i get along with everybody except you people, actually. i get along with a lot of people. i get along with president putin. i get along with mohammed. >> he gets along with mohammed and teresa, may, angela merkel,

abe, they aren't accused killers so in the president's eyes, they don't have the right stuff. joining me now, chuck schumer. why do you think he treats dictators one way and our oldest allies another? >> well, he admires these strong men. he doesn't have principles about what rule of law is, what a democracy is. you know, anderson, this was one of the worst few days in american foreign policy in american diplomatic history. >> why? >> in a long time. praising dictators, messing up foreign policy left and right what he did in north korea giving kim jong-un what he wanted and getting nothing, absolutely nothing in return. north korea is still nuclear. the president used to criticize obama and bush. you couldn't get rid of their weapons, i will. he said about a year ago, we don't have to worry about things. they have icbms and more nuclear bombs than the past. they are a danger to the united

states and he pats the guy on the back and gets nothing in return. his foreign policy is erratic. it's done for the moment so he can get his little ego hit and hurts us, hurts us in the long run. >> it seems every -- the two summits he's had with kim jong-un got really nothing in return for them. that was always a big carrot, the u.s. will actually meet face-to-face with you. now it's i've actually gone into northern -- an american president visited north korea and got nothing in return. >> it's reality show foreign policy. he wants the photo op and the hit. he has no strategy long-range sense where to go, what to do. if anyone thinks this doesn't hurt america in the short term, in the long run, they are sadly mistaken and what you showed before telling, joking about putin interfering with our election, it's basically saying to putin go ahead and do it, this is our democracy. the founding fathers, wisest of all were worried about foreign

governments entangling sthech themselves and the first president that's come close to encouraging it. it's disgraceful. >> he did most recently say in an interview when asked what do you look at information again? he said i would look at it and came around to saying maybe i'd call the fbi. >> there is no principle in what he does for foreign policy except feeding his ego and not even for the long term but momentarily. we'll look like a fool when they do nothing or maybe worse, he changes his policy from denuclearization to saying status quo, which means let north korea be more dangerous than its ever been. we'll do nothing about it. >> let me argue what supporters will say. plenty of administrations tried all different sorts f approaof approaches. they still moved forward. maybe this, having a personal relationship with the murderous dictator may be --

>> that hasn't tproduced anythig and the odds of producing four more years, hopefully there won't be is very, very tiny. >> is settling for north korea acceptable? >> he's doing things other people could have done. he's right. he now is presiding over north korea not only with more nuclear weapons than they had but icbms, the capability of delivering to the west coast of the united states. >> i found it odd the national security advisor is not there. >> the two hawks in this case we needed hawks, we don't usually don't in iran but in this case, they are not even there. this is, i think, these folks around the president have sort of thrown up their hands and they say he's going to do what he's going to do no matter how much in damages the united states and north korea are dangerous dictators with a threat over us and iran even worse. he could bumble into war and they sort of throw up their

hands and say well, that's donald trump. they shouldn't be working for him if they are throwing up their hands. >> the situation on the boarder i want to talk to you about. some members toured customs and border protection facility today and described terrible conditions, alexandria ocasio-cortez said one woman told her she had been told to drink out of a toilet. i saw a border agent on television saying that's not something we would say to anybody. is the border funding bill that was passed this week actually going to provide enough funding to -- >> well, it's certainly on the department of health and human services dhhs provides much-needed money because everyone agrees we were running out of money. these kids don't have toothbrushes. the little babies don't have diapers. that part is good. there are some safeguards in the bill, no more i.c.e. bids, the money can't be used for other things. there should have been more safeguards. the house did their best, but,

you know, there are real answers to this policy, and we democrats have proposed something that could really work. namely, let these people who are not drug dealers or ms-13 or criminals as trump seems to characterize all of them, let them -- they are fleeing for their lives f. yo. if your daughter was threatened with rape, your son threatened with murder, you would try to get away and risk an 800-mile trek through the hot desert and subject yourself to problems. we saw that horrible, horrible, it wrenched my heart picture of the father with his little daughter clinging to his neck. the answer, one of the best answers is to say let people who are going to flee for their lives apply for asylum in the three countries, honduras, el salvador, quad ma salvador, guatemala and provide more judges to get adjudicated

quickly and make the standards for asylum, they come, if not, not. that is an answer that everyone thinks is a good answer. >> although, administration has made it tougher -- >> they took away the money. >> and qualifications for asylum are tough for you're fleeing domestic violence. >> they stretched those incorrectly or narrowed them actually incorrectly but they have also, there was money that was provided towards the end of the obama administration to go after in these countries, it's not very much money in this grand scheme of things to go after the drug dealers, to go over the gang so these people wouldn't be fleeing and trump cut it off. he doesn't have a policy other than using these poor children as sort of pawns in the game. some say, i hope it's not true, that they are deliberately making the conditions miserable for the kids so more people don't flee. if you're fleeing for your life, you're going to flee period. >> that was certainly the idea behind separating children from

their parents. i was by their own admission, it was a deterrent. >> isn't that a despicable policy this use these little innocent children as pawns? isn't that despicable? >> it does not seem to have worked given that the numbers increased. >> almost nothing -- the biggest problem this administration is going to face aside from what the president's dishonesty and the president not caring about rule of law, the president being a bully and often a narcissist is they aren't producing results. they are talking about solving the problem in north korea, it's worse. they are talking about dealing with china, they are backing off with things like that. and they -- the border situation is worse than ever before in large part because they don't have a policy. the president each week we're going to pose tariffs on mexico. we're going to build a wall. we're going to not do any trade with mexico. each week or month he has a.

did po-- different policy a say this, anderson, everyone on the economy, which is their great claim to fame, the lower part of america doesn't think they are benefitting. tell an auto worker there are millions, that their future is great. go tell a steel worker their future is great. so this administration one of the things that's going to become more and more apparent is aside from the mendacity and, they don't deliver. >> very briefly because i got to go, do you believe mitch mcconnell will deliver for 9/11 responders? he had a meeting with them and said by august, this will be brought up for a vote. >> tonight is the wake, tomorrow night, as well of detective alvarez, who i spoke to -- >> lou alvarez. >> who i spoke to a few days before he died whavmt. what a wonderful man. he said to me, this is probably the last time i'll talk to you but please fight hard to get

this money. john feel, alvarez and some of the others did a great job, mcconnell has now said and this is a big step forward he'll deal with it in august. how should he deal with it? fully. when the house passes the bill, don't cut back. don't put it onni something tha might not past. it has 60 co-sponsors, democrats and republicans it will pass and be signed into law and that's the only right thing to do. >> do you think people will do it? >> the odds are high. i wish he could do it. he would have done it a long time ago but there is so much heat on him i think he may do it. i hope he doesn't play a little trick and only do part of it. >> appreciate your time. >> great to see you. breaking news on some of the senator's democratic members not to mention the former colleague joe biden. what polling since the debate shows about how the democratic primary race is shifting and later, we've been discussing allegations about conditions at migrant detention facilities and really shocking report on how some border officers are

new cnn polling under scores what people saw in the democratic debate bearing in mind it's a national poll and early in the campaign. it shows joe biden out front but with the margin of error, he's tied with california senator kamala harris and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren is a close third and she and harris were widely perceived to have done well on the debate stage and biden was not and drilling deeper into the polling could say more where things go from here. joining us now, political director david. how bad did biden's performance hurt him? this is a national poll which really what matters is iowa, new hampshire in the early states. >> of course. there is no doubt about that. this is a snapshot of where democrats across the country remember some 18 million people

tuned in to watch. this is the snapshot now. take a look at where they came from in may. joe biden to answer your question dropped ten points in this poll from 32% to now 22% and you see both kamala harris and elizabeth warren doubling support since may. harris up nine. warren up eight. we see sanders down four and buttigieg holding about even just ticks down one percentage point. you said is that all debate related? we don't know. we saw biden on a downward trajectory from april to may. was he continuing downward and the debate exacerbated it? >> it wasn't all bad news for biden. he's the person most democratic voters think can beat trump. >> he's leading and narrowing and you're right, that is his trump card, if you will. 43%, nobody else comes close for the democrats in who they think has the best chance of beating president trump and look at how important it is for democrats,

anderson. nearly 6 in 10, more than 6 in 10 democrats say they want somebody that's a candidate with a strong chance of beating trump versus only 30% of democrats that say somebody who shares my position on the issues. so if somebody can pierce this notion that biden is the best position to beat trump, they would go a long way to really perhaps severely damage joe biden. >> stay with us. i want to bring in the rest of the team tonight, kirsten powers and cnn political commentator paul b paul. what do you make of the vice president's slide and how concerned would you be on his team? >> very concerned. his team should be. you know, he's sort of the legacy brand but both he and bernie sanders, the two legacy brands that ran for president in the past, they are sliding and the insurgent candidacies are

gaining. it's a tremendous concern. he does have bull work with african american voters. he has to earn that. he's got to fight hard for those voters and i think his hold on them could be tenuous. democrats don't like a front runner. ask my friend hillary clinton. they like to take out the front runner and they have a lot of options this time. this is a snapshot as he says. he's right. the snapshot is one guy going down and two women going up. i think it will continue. >> paul references, you know, hillary clinton. any time there is an error of n inevitability, that can be dangerous if himself or herself believes that. >> the worst thing is if there is a sense of entitlement if you feel it should be yours and you shouldn't have to respond to attacks and i think that biden should have been able to predict what was going to happen. it's all been churning in the news already. this wasn't a criticisms around

race and bussing issues. i think it would be concerned if i was on his team that he just didn't seem ready to respond to that. i find it hard to believe that his team didn't prepare him for it and i think that he can't be caught flat footed that way in the future. >> david, paul was referencing biden's traditional support among black voters, 36% i think to kamala harris' 24% should -- i mean, that's not something that he can take for granted. >> oh, no, not at all. and that -- listen, what we saw remember back in 2007, 2008, a lot of black voters early on parked with hillary clinton didn't move over to barack obama until they saw white america in iowa say vote for the guy and so i think joe biden will have to fight for every inch of this. yes, he was barack obama's vice

president and has a reservoir of goodwill with the african american community inside the democratic party, anderson, but if this notion that he's the one that could beat trump starts getting chipped away and if kamala harris specifically continues to rise here and she can show african american voters she's winning overall kinds of support, that could be very, very dangerous situation for biden's candidacy. >> paul, the ability to beat president trump, is that your number one issue? most democrats think biden is the person to do that, still. >> that's number one. number 111 -- 11. that's the only issue i care about. i'm a jfk democrat. pay any price, oppose own photo and show the defeat of donald j. trump. what's cool, i'm right in the middle of my party. look at our poll. by 2-1 democrats would rather have someone that can beat trump than someone that agrees with

them on every issue. the voters in my party are screaming at their candidates, be practical, prague mat timati practical. so many of them are chasing a purity, some extreme position they don't need to do. the voters, democrats are telling them pay attention to us and show us how to beat trump with a more, i think, moderate increakre increate mental change, they seem to be chasing over educated, over caffeinated, over opinion ated liberals on twitter. i'm one of them. they are saying be more pack k practic practical. >> kirsten, do you agree with paul? >> i don't know, i think there are some really important debates going on in the country and happening on the democratic stage. i don't have any problem with them discussing these issues and

i guess i'm probably more aligned to the left side in terms of the policy issues, maybe not as in touch with america as paul is, i guess. but i think that the interesting thing about this to me in terms of looking at this poll is that the democrats are sort of struggling with the idea of what makes somebody the best person to beat trump, and i think that the conventional wisdom kind of was it's a white guy. it's a joe biden kind of white guy who can connect with people in pennsylvania, and i think they are starting to rethink that. >> interesting. david, kirsten, paul, thank you, good discussion. still to come, as democrats visit detainees near the border, there is a new report about a facebook group, kind of invite only facebook group that border patrol agents current and former and others had that contains vulgar comments about migrant deaths and sometimes racist bigoted language. we'll have details about it

migrant children declined in fli texas and members of congress detailed what detainees say what they endured daily. >> when we went into the cell, it was clear the water was not running. there was a toilet but there was no running water for people to drink. in fact, one of the women said that she was told by an agent to drink water out of the of the toilet. >> ocasio-cortez tweeted quote, it's not just the kids, everyone. people drinking out of toilets and officers laughing in front of members of congress. they said officers are under stress and act out sometimes, no accountability end quote. protesters on both sides of the issue were there. most of the democrats ignored the protrump contingent you heard people yelling.

nor if talib that told them bring it on. >> i ain't going nowhere! right here! that's right! >> well, also today, propublica push accomplished a story with a facebook group with 9500 members, with an unknown number of recent members and vulgar comments about migrant deaths including the deaths of children and discussed throwing burritos at latino members of congress that come to visit and shared a post about today's visit and one involving congresswoman ocasio-cortez being assaulted by president trump. earlier today i spoke to a.c. thompson, the propublica reporter that wrote is that story. a.c., there are thousands of

people on this facebook list. do you have any sense how many of them are current border patrol agents or former border patrol agents and how many are actually participating in the really disgusting stuff that you've written about? >> yeah, that's a great question. we honestly cannot say how many of these people are current border patrol, how many are former. we think there may be some members of the public in there, as well. but what we know is it's a closed secret group that you had to be invited into by somebody who is in the border patrol or another customs and border protection unit and that the people are all discussing the work of customs and border protection. >> it also seemed like people put an awful lot of time into creating, you know, mocked up photo shopped pictures that were obscene. there was the post in the article that you mentioned about the father and daughter whose

bodies who drowned trying to cross the rio grande and attached that picture and reads okay, i'm going to go ahead and ask have y'all ever seen floaters this clean? i'm not trying to be an ass but i never seen floaters like this. could this be another edited photo. we seen the dems do sick things. what was the response within this group to someone posting, you know, this about a dead father and his dead child calling them floaters, suggesting that this is some sort of plot by democrats. >> you know, what we saw in the messages that we've obtained is repeatedly members of this group dehumanizing migrants and dehumanizing migrants who have died in different cases. so we've seen different comments where people are saying, you know, basically very disparaging things about migrants who died or migrants for example were about to publish a store write

where there is a man trying to ferry his son across the river in a plastic bag. this is a photo that's in one of the posts, and one of the people who comments on it says oh, well at least he's already in a trash bag suggesting that the child is trash. that's the kind of stuff that we see in those posts. >> in addition to the post that we mentioned earlier about the visit to the detention center by members of the congressional hispanic caucus, i understand there were other posts about that visit. what did they say? >> yeah, there is posts about the visit that are saying, you know, really disparaging things about representative ocasio-cortez, there are things in there saying hey, we should start a go fund me campaign for somebody to throw a burrito at these women using an expletive. there is someone using more vulgar terms to disscriescribe

we think is a border patrol supervisor and a threat where people say i wonder if they will clean up this facility and spit shine it like they did at other facilities before cameras come in and give a fake view what is going on. that was also articulated in the post. >> border patrol has a big problem with recruiting people, retaining people. it's incredible to me that whoever -- there is 9500 people in this invite only facebook list. the idea that they thought this ultimately would not become public is kind of stunning to me. >> exactly. right? look, we know there is lots of totally up standing members of the border patrol and all other law enforcement agencies but it is concerning that you have a group that big and there is that kind of vulgar stuff being passed around on it and nobody says to management as far as we can tell, hey, this is

outrageous. this is total misconduct, even if it's happening off of work time, and something should be done about it. >> and you've reached out obviously to customs and border patrol for comment. what have they said? >> yeah, so what we heard from them today is that they are opening an investigation into this matter. what they have told us is this type of behavior online reaches the -- breaches their code of conduct and referred to matter to the homeland security inspector general but anderson, i should say after we contacted them, we got more images from the group and it is people disparaging you. >> wow. well. it's not that an elite club if i'm part of that, as well. a.c. thompson, incredible reporting. thank you so much. >> thank you.

>> well, more to come on that. a lot more ahead including the ripple effects from ivanka trump's participation in her dad's trip to japan, south korea and the meeting with the leader. why was she there and did she go beyond her per view as a white house official? details ahead. that i write you about your amazing employees. eric volunteered to come to my rescue that evening. ...to a mom, these things really matter. from this day forward, i'm a lexus customer for life. thank you. sincerely... ivy, kim, david, greg. crafting every experience for our guests with the same level of care we craft our vehicles. that's what makes lexus, lexus. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. lexus. you don't really talk about your insurance unless you're complaining about it. you go on about how... ...it's so confusing it hurts my brain. ya i hear ya... or say you can't believe... ...how much of a hassle it is! and tell anyone who'll listen...

hits for her involvement, some would say over involvement in her father's asia trip. she's listed as an advisor but appeared to take on the role of diplomat of japan and forth korea and inserting herself in meetings, photo ops and conversations and along with president trump and stepped across the border. earlier she gave reporters an on camera briefing after her father met with the indian and japanese leaders, something usually handled by an official from the national security government and the government posed this photo with mrs. trump trying to engage in a talk in japan including teresa may and the head of the international monetary fund as well as france's president. they seem confused to what she's doing there.

>> so what to make of this? joining us is cnn senior garrigan. what went through your mind when you watched this video? she actually part of that conversation? >> she seemed to be and christine did not seem to be happy about it nor did others. nonetheless, listen, to back up for a minute, this country very much needs more women in high-level diplomacy jobs and we've had four so far, rice and susan rice and hillary clinton and madeleine al bright, they all earned their way to the top and earned their way to the table. three of them have phds, one yale law and work for years in foreign policy and they are professionals by the time they began to run high level diplomacy. ivanka trump hasn't paid dues. it would be fine if she went if

her -- if melania is not going, ivanka went in her place, that would be fine. but to go and be treated like a high-level professional really insults the foreign service. it's what they do in life and send as missaessage to the othe heads in state, this white house is playing by different rules that nobody seems to understand but our -- you know, not treated -- not respected by others. they are keeping silent about it but don't respect it. >> if this was clinton administration and it was chelsea clinton doing this, i think the criticism would be the same although probably louder from the republican side. i want to play another video from this weekend taken to the blue house in south korea. it's ivanka trump and in the back trying to find system where to stand is secretary of state mike pompeo. i don't know. it's the thing that happens when the president's daughter is stepping into these kind of roles on the world stage, i

guess. >> yeah. >> it's not just ivanka trump, the former secretary of state rex tillerson reportedly told congress last month jared kushner had dinner with mexico's secretary going around him in matters of diplomacy. >> yeah, you can imagine that only hastened tillerson's move out the door. but jared kushner is also entrusted with the middle east and come up with this economic development plan so far has been strugged off by people in the middle east leaders and middle east. the palestinians won't meet with him. once before in our history, anderson, franklin roosevelt appointed eleanor roosevelt in the first term to a position in the government to a civil service position. it was a disaster. and they rapidly -- she rapidly stepped away from it and realized she had a different role to play as a member of the first family as first lady.

ivanka has a role to play but not this one. >> yeah, it's also not clear what she is qualified to really be discussing on the world stage. i mean, what is -- >> i -- >> other than being, you know, having i guess a shoe or clothing company and being the president's daughter. >> that is true and when jared has a back channel to the mexican foreign minister and ivanka has channels going down to one place or another, it under cuts the top people and one of the things that happens to other countries, if you're in a country that sends a friend of the united states and you send your top level am basketball to -- ambassador, their job is to speak to the government and know who to speak to. we're sending signals to countries. you can speak to jared, you might speak to ivanka. you might want to speak to john bolton, does he know what is going on? who speaks for trump? that causes, we're already in a volatile administration and causes massive confusion when

the children through a form of nepotism are being put in the positions where they seem to speak for the president but nobody is quite sure. >> yeah. john bolton is in mongolia, which i mean, i would love to go to mongolia but it's not exactly where the action is. david garrigan. >> it's not. do you think it's for a reason? you have to believe that he just sort of wanted to take a plane and get out of there and not go to the korean trip. >> thank you very much. just ahead, we remember a champion of the 9/11 first responders and retired nypd detective lou alvarez that pleaplewas pleading for the funds to be reestablished for those suffering from nech. at subaru, we're taking on distracted driving [ping] with sensors that alert you when your eyes are off the road.

time now for the ridiculist. and apparently president trump has a wee bit of jag lag because he came in hot today with some rage tweets defending his charitable foundation or as it's known to the new york attorney general's office, operation of illegal conduct. the trump foundation is to charity what trump vodka is to fine wines and spirits. >> we launched a vodka, called trump vodka, and i think it will be the finest vodka in the

world. it's made in various parts of europe. >> various parts of europe. the more i hear it, the more i want it to be my ring tone. parts of europe so various, he can't name them. some various sources for a vodka who's bottle caps may or may not have contained degrees from trump university. and he's tweeting, the foundation is being sued by cuomo and new york state for years. just in case anyone is interested, clinton foundation never even looked at. i'm not sure where to begin. the trump foundation was shut down after the attorney general of new york announced just how shady it was. a "washington post" reporter won a pulitzer prize for it. the reporting is so bonkers you have to look it up yourself.

it's by a tremendous journalist and i know you can almost hear the president disparaging the pulitzer prize as neither big nor beautiful, unlike his valentines from kim jong-un or the emmy he won for "the apprentice." the post describes citizen trump crashing charity events and stiffing the charity with little to no money. the trump foundation also paid off hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal settlements that citizen trump incurred involving his for-profit businesses. this was supposed to be a charity. additional the foundation bought not one but two portraits of mr. trump, one of which was six feet tall for a combined total of $20,000 and, no, those paintings should not be confused with the painting mr. trump has long displayed in his trump tower

apartment and claims is an original. i'm sure you'll be shocked to learn it is not an original. and the original is in the art institute of chicago. and the news continue. i want to hand it over to chris for cuomo "prime time." >> welcome to "prime time." biden is going backwards in the latest polls post debate taking him on even over race, worked, there's going to be more of it. and the opponent who came at him the most benefitted the most in the recent polls. kamala harris, the senator from california, got a big boost, question, is that why the president's son retweeted a birther-style smear about her? and what was sister ivanka doing at the center of g-20 class
