shawna: he is in this race.eere in kentucky and we were in pennsylvania, he had a big crowd in chi he got hi first union endorsement in pennsylvania and pittsburgh. sort o joe biden's scranton backyard. but the interesting thing is elizabeth landers, our correspondent, pushed him on tho id how do you dimpshate yourself from elizabeth w wren. he refused to really, one, go after elizabeth warren which i kind of understand, but really give us a clear answer of how he's different. at a certain point he t tned it baba on our correspondent and said hey, that's a mediaes on. no one is asking that people have asked him that, people inb have asked him that, other than thehe media. we'll see if next week's debate is that pointnt, at some p he'll have to say why his plans are different than hers and what can he articulate that makes him better than her.it ay be a all eyes are on what he does etweelizabeth warren and bernie sanders but at some point who are you in comparison. >> sometimes it's not just about what you do as

shawna: if we actually have that conversation. >> that's right. robert: you think this is an actual conversation we're having right now in our country? >> i think it can be. particularly as lines are drawn in the sand and republican office holders, democratic lawmakers have to say on which side of the sand -- >> but the conversation president trump is going to want to have is the antifa and the alt-left. he'll be pushing in these other directions. it will happen if it happens despite the president, i think. shawna: i think that's why senator scott agreed to talk to "vice" news and he's going to talk to "face the nation." he knows he has a unique role in this country right now as the only black republican senator, that he can try to focus that conversation a little bit. i think he knows he has to do that. robert: moly, the democratic point that was made -- molly, the democratic point that was made. democrats are trying to bring down now the confederate statues united states of the united states capitol. they seem to be moving pretty aggressively ag

shawna: i talked to some former u.s. attorneys who say dangling a pardon could equal obstruction of justice. it depends, it would be a hard case to prove because you don't know what's in people's basically. ithe thing about michael cohen, though, is that, because all of the information around this, did he talk to his lawyer about it, did his lawyer talk to president trump, was that michael cohen asking for a pardon, also michael cohen has admitte to lying to congress before -- he's not the most relble source. and while sometimes the president of the united states is also not the most reliable source, when the president gets on the chopper and basically says michael cohen is a liar, it's hard to refute that so that all kind of plays into the president'sve narra. joshua: we also know, too, cohen spent hours and hours this week testifying before the house and we don't know what was said because that was in private. however, a number of democrats in those hearings have suggested in various interviews on tv that there really

i think what both nancy and shawna are pointing out, there are already problems.eople are already experiencing problems in the current system, the way the affordable care act is. the marketplace is not perfect. in years to come, there were already going to be possibilities of insurance companies dropping out, premiums going up. but instead of addressing that problem, what the president announced was that he's actually going to be exacerbating that. this is all predicated on a strategy of, if he does this, somehow he believes that democrats will have to come to the table and cut a deal with him to replace the affordable care act. but it is the president who has taken this action. it is he who has decided not to pay these payments. so if nothing does happen, if congress continues to be unable to cut a deal on this, i do think that he and congressional republicans are going to bear a lot of that blame. and republican leaders know that. i think that's the only possible path toward a solution here. >> nancy, is that true? are democrats actually gonna maybe think about

robert: shawna, you were there in singaporeuring the last summit.hat happens for the next one last month? shawna: the president wanted to do that summit and they made that summits happen f him. he has said he wants to do another one. reporting and what we're hearing from our international partners is that it's probablyng to be in vietnam. he has an entire infrastructure to make another one happen and clearly kim wants to do it as well. so i think s we'll another summit. i think the problem about what president trump vs. the intelligence was sing. also, what is actually true? should we believein anythat the ambassadors orse anyone tells them if the president is saying that? robert: what dimd you learn when you sat down with your colleague magui with the president in the oval office th week? is he isolated from his own intelligence officials? peter: he told us no. them in and everything turned out to be fine. the only problem was the, med of course, misinterpreted things.wh was fascinating is how he operates. he brings in coates, haspel, and he said i

[ speaking foreign language ] i just said in chinese, hello, everyone. my name is shawna. i'm 11 years old. i'm in fifth grade at providence elementary school. i like chinese class very much because chinese class is fun. i have been taking chinese since the first grade which was the first year it was taught at my school. my teacher has been my teacher all five years. there's a second chinese teacher at my school who is teaching my little sister. i really like learning chinese. class is a lot of fun because we learn using a lot of games and activities that include everyone in the class that teach us new things. my regular teacher mrs. pratt told me sometimes they're teaching the same things at the same time. this year when we learned about ancient civilizations, she taught us about ancient china and ancient dynasties while we were learning chinese. i like that they go together. sometimes we even do math in chinese class. i want to keep learning chinese. i want to be fluent in chinese.

shawna thomas, you've been looking at the 25th district in california. why?e been following katie hill around since february to track how a conditional campaign works. but what's interesting, this is one of those districts that went for hillary clinton in 2016 and elected a republican congressman. it's an incredibly tight race. it's gotten tighter in the last causigration or race-baiting. it seems like iec a g tepeal he0 miles from l.a. proper. they vote on their pocketbooks. it's kind of standard politics, which i have to admit, i was happy to see. >> dickerson: sure, regular old politics. >> their pocketbook and gas. >> dickerson: exactly. nancy, what are you going to be looking for on tuesday night? >> well, i'm watching for a couple things. first of all, women, i think that's going to be really fascinating. anecdotally we see that women particularly educated women have been turned off by some of the things that president trump has to say. they were turned off by the kavanaugh nomination spectacle. are they really moving toward the democratic party, or do

shawna, when you look at this piece of legislation, it says the g.o.p. will let the states decide how to use federal money. but why is that so complicated? and what's at the heart of this debate? >> well, it's so complicated, because even though they're saying we're gonna create a formula and give all the states this money, in the end, for a lot of states, that means a lot less money is going to them. and overall, the cuts are fairly large. so because we don't have a congressional budget, one has said it's a $215 billion cut in health care funding between 2020 and 2026. in 2027, they say it goes up to $489 billion. at the heart of it, it is a program to make the size of government smaller, which is a very conservative thing. but when you start looking at, individual state? the states start to say things like, wait a second, if you're going to give me a billion less over 10 years, how am i going to fund these health care programs i already have? the states will have to grapple with what makes the best health care for them, if this thing goes through. >> g

at the time of her untimely death, shawna was a junior at eagle high school. she was a competitive figure skater and ice dancer and played the violin in her school orchestra. she even performed with the orchestra at new york's carnegie hall. she was also working to qualify for a congressional silver medal for public service, personal development and physical fitness. she aspired to attend stanford university and become a doctor. sadly, she lost her life in a car accident on her way home from orchestra practice. i first met shawna's parents, captain edward hill and his wife, heidi, in 2013 when i helped present them with a congressional bronze medal for their daughter had earned. while presenting the award, i learned that captain hill, who served as 28 years as a navy pilot and flew to protect america during three combat tours, had retired shortly before shawna's death. following the tragedy, captain hill was working with the navy to try to reassign his benefits to his second child, haley, who was also planning to attend college. with almost three decades of di

so to shawna thomas who worries about the less successful graduate, shawna, i'm here to tell you, you the best new thing in the world today.

>> well, i agree with everything that shawna said.ikability is a universal question that we ask about every politician. there's an element of sexism in evaluation of candidates, less so now than there was ten years ago or 20 years ago. i do think hillary clinton was sueyjen risk. there was 25 years of history layered onto evaluations of hillary clinton's candidacy which simply don't exist with elizabeth warren, so all of that leads me to say it's just early. we've got wide-open field. she has a lot of assets. she's very talented. she's extremely bright and a leader in important policy areas for the democrats. we will see how she plays on the ground, and i think the idea of force feeding an early comparison to hillary clinton is just not time for that. >> so i put this question out there on twitter as we were pulling together the show tonight, if candidates were president, is what are some of the things they would have to ask about, and bill crystal wrote back. he said some of the differences would be one, is she likable? men don't hav

shawna, how do you see the landscape in 2020 as different from 2016 in this strategy? clearly it was one that worked against hillary clinton but also right in the wake of president obama. >> well, i think one thing you have to realize is that especially 2020 also involves all of the republicans who have to republican for re-election. you had people like max thornberry of texas, ranking member is now of the house armed services committee, who basically before this hand was like please, president trump, please, please, don't go this national emergency route because i don't want to have to tell my constituents military construction money is being shifted from msg construction to a wall. he's actually created a weird 2020 problem for some republicans possibly. but i think less when it comes to the presidential election, the members of congress who are running this time, the senators, these democratic senators, he's basically set up a situation where they have something very, very clear to run against. and if everyone is right and his base is not enough -- if you're right a

shawna? >> you don't want to get blamed for something. >> for sure.ou remember, you covered the obama administration as well. we talk about how this white house gets angry about leaks. in the obama administration, leaking was a cardinal sin. but it also didn't happen as much. and they would argue, i think, that it's because people believed in the boss and they would probably explain the leaking in the trump white house as in some ways a lack of loyalty. do you think that's what's going on? >> i think also the obama white house, or people who had worked for president obama, would say that they had each other's backs as well. they didn't feel like they were in a, to use the term that jonathan swan used, mexican standoff. that they were all in it together and they also, i think, had a pretty good idea of what the boss wanted to achieve with specific goals. and there wasn't as much confusion about what he would want and, therefore, there wasn't as much to leak about, about like internal disputes. i think there is a lot of confusion even when the president
