we watch you saturday mornings. 9:00 a.m., michael, gloria borger, don't move an inch. we have a lot to talk about. >>> president trump suggests he may delay the census after the supreme court said it would block a citizen question for now. and in another monumental decision, the justices are allowing the practice of political gerrymandering. we'll explain how that could impact your vote. >>> later, two friends of the woman who accused president trump of sexual assault, they are speaking out, backing up her story, what they say e. jean carroll told them at the time. 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?!

cnn chief political analyst gloria borger is with me.and gloria, carroll is one of at least 15 women who have made accusations against the president. you know, this is, of course, taking place in the week of me too. to george conway's point, why do you think supporters of juanita broaddrick's claims don't see dismissing carroll's claims as hypocritical? >> i think they are -- they don't believe her. i think if they went out there and supported donald trump during the last election, and don't forget, donald trump denied these claims. many of them in the same way. saying i don't remember this woman, i never met this woman, et cetera, et cetera. that they're now in a way sort of boxed in. and they have to continue to say, this woman is just trying to sell her book, as donald trump said. juanita broaddrick wasn't trying to sell a book. she -- you know, she made a lot more sense to me. and so i think, you know, once you're in it, you're in it. and in a way, you know, for the american public, there is a sense, sad to say, that this is already

with us for the hour in washington, cnn political director chief political analyst gloria borger and jeffrey toobin and u.s. senator rick santorum and in charlotte, north carolina all by himself, former south carolina democratic state legislator bakari sellers. they are cnn political commentators. as we've been looking at the stage here, what do you think is the president's main goal besides g besides ginning up the energized base. >> theat is no doubt goal numbe one but to drive home the messages, promises made and kept and make sure he's telling the story how he delivered on the promise of that spectacular 2016 run that he had for the presidency and we'll see as you know one of the great frustrations of a lot of republicans on capitol hill, even some people inside his administration has been not to have a relentless focus on the economic good news day in and day out and i am curious to see if that becomes a major thread in this speech as he tries to frame the reelection argument. >> gloria, one source told cnn campaign officials are hoping this event will satisfy the president's th

april ryan and gloria borger are here to discuss all of this.e what the president says are not looking good. he's trailing a lot of democrats in head-to-heads in key swing states. we now know he has fired three pollsters. is this more about the numbers or the fact that they were leaked? >> first of all, you don't think he's focused on this, do you? it is a concern of how concerned he is about the polls. look, if he were your average candidate, if your internal polling were leaked, you would have a right to be upset about that and say these guys ought to go. it's not right for them to leak internal polling. however, this is donald trump. this is not your average candidate. what he's upset about is that the polls that were leaked showed that he wasn't winning. as a result, they're fake polls. but i think you also have to take into consideration that the pollsters probably felt the one way to communicate with him is to put it in the public eye so he will pay attention to these polls and perhaps then take them seriously. i don't know if that is what

gloria borger, the reaction from a lot of the progressive democrats.n did the problem solvers caucus become the child abuse caucus. wouldn't they want to night against contractors that run deplorable facilities? kids are the only ones that can lose today. that's a sample of the angry reaction. >> it was incredible among democrats. i think nancy pelosi found herself in a situation where she was caught between the moderates and the liberals in her caucus, and the moderates once she had gotten some more provisions in the bill, for example, had gotten more provisions to reduce funding for i.c.e., for example, and more on standard of care, and then the moderates complained because they don't want to reduce funding for i.c.e. so she found herself in this situation where she had to do something she felt because of what's going on at the border. she had to accept something she found less than acceptable and that's what she did. >> rebecca, the senate version passed the house, 305-102, almost all republicans voted for it. among democrats, 129 democrats voted fo

gloria borger joins me now. who saw this coming? >> this was coming for several days. what shanahan's personal situation is, is very sensitive, it involves his family, his children. he had been in an extremely contentious divorce years ago, there had been allegations of domestic abuse, police had been called to his house. when they arrived pat shanahan had shown signs he had been struck and abused by his now ex-wife. there were situations with all three children. he's given interviews. he said in a statement last night, i never laid a hand on my then wife. it looks by the initial statement shanahan had been a victim of domestic abuse, there were also signs the wife had had some issues and problems. these statements say with alcohol and substance abuse. all of that said, what has happened in the last several weeks, the fbi clearance process for shanahan to become secretary of defense had taken a considerable amount of time as all of these allegations, all of these instances of a domestic abuse situation in his marriage were being looked at yet again. when we came to wor

along with gloria borger and paul about a gala who serve as adviser to president clinton. glory is only one of the top five democrats is warren who is on the stage on the first night tomorrow. the other four biden sanders buttigieg and harris all will be on stage at the same time on thursday. so is it an advantage to be the only one in that group on the first night? or disadvantage for warren? >> i know lots of folks say it's a disadvantage for her because she is not up against bernie or biden on the first night. but i think it's an advantage for her. because first of all you're going to have a big tune in on the first night. she is going to be out there alone. center stage. she's got a lot of room to distinguish herself. she can present herself as the liberal who can -- who can beat donald trump. and so, yeah, i think she's got a lot of room in that group to say, look at me, i'm the one to take on trump. whereas if stherp sherp on the other stage shaed have competition. >> are rick when you were on stage for the first republican date. you were one of seven in 2012 you wer

cnn political reporter arlette saenz is in atlanta and joined by chief political analyst gloria borgert floor this, go through the recent time line. on may 4th he told a supporter he would commit to abolishing the hyde amendment. here that is. >> i'm a aclu rights for all voter and i have one quick question for you and that is will you commit to abolishing the hyde amendment which hurts poor women and -- >> yes. >> and women of color. >> yes. and by the way, aclu, i have a perfect voting record my entire career. >> i heard you did. but i'm glad you just said you are committing to abolishing the hyde amendment. >> right now it can't stay. >> you heard him say it can't stay but on june 5th the campaign said he misheard and stated that biden still supported the hyde amendment. social media blew up and the democratic rivals attacked him and then last night he reversed course. soarlet, you have the new reporting, why did he make this about-face. >> you had the criticism from his 2020 rivals and also from abortion rights groups. but my colleague jeff zeleny and i are learning there were memb

also cnn political commentator david axelrod and cnn political analyst gloria borger.sarah sanders has been a frequent sparring partner of yours. a, were you surprised by this announcement, and what do you make of it? >> i think it's surprising that it came now. but, anderson, there were rumblings that this was coming. i talked to a white house official earlier this afternoon who said listen, sarah sanders has been planning this for some time. she set this date a while ago. so this was not a huge surprise to people inside the white house. we saw sarah sanders talking to reporters just a short while ago. she said her immediate plans are to move back to arkansas. we saw the president say he hopes she runs for political office. she said she has no plans for that at this point, but she is not ruling it out. anderson, we've had two press secretaries so far, sean spicer and now sarah sanders. i think both have left a legacy of not being straight with the american people, and we have to hope not only as journalists, but as citizens that the third try is a charm. >> gloria, i

and out front now gloria borger, worked with jared kushner for two years, and april ryan, white housecorrespondent for america urban radio networks. david, you've worked with him, written in-depth about him. what wept through your mind as you watched this interview? >> just somebody completely out of his depth. having a job he's completely unprepared for. he seemed completely unprepared for this interview and unable to answer even the most basic questions. >> that part was shocking. april, you're at the white house almost every day. you know how rare it is to hear from kushner. it isn't like the guy does a ton of interviews. the guy doesn't do any interviews. why would he ever agree to do something like this? >> it's interesting you say that, aaron, because jared kushner and i have talked one-on-one several times and i've asked him for interviews i i remember him telling me, you know, i have to give the first interview on prison reform to van jones because van jones has taken a lot of heat for trying to push this bipartisan issue through. so for this, the optics were horrible for jare

dana bash and gloria borger are here with us. how important is this?i think it's very important. it's their first time on a national stage. viewership will be up. we have described it. on the flip side, if you make a mistake, you can introduce yours to the american public that way, remember? rick perry, when he said oops, and he couldn't remember the third government department he was going to cut. that is not a bad way to -- >> running. >> which one is that? >> to that point, what if someone bombs, dana? is that the end for them? >> no, no, no, not necessarily. look, yes, there is a lot to lose. there is also a lot to gain. the fact of the matter is, this is the beginning of voters paying attention. obviously, you've had these candidates now out there for several months, most of them have been on the campaign trail. they've been on television a lot. but there is a different forum. and it always is. and for voters, they just -- you know how it is. they want to get the feel of it for them. they want to get to see them on the big stage. do they look pres

so let's go to gloria borger. and gloria, 54%. what does the poll say to you? >> you're right. there is a big difference between thinking he's going to win and wanting him to win. and that is what our poll shows. our poll shows that a larger number of people who disapprove of trump now still think he's likely to win the election. so you have to ask the question of yourself, why is that? and we're not quite sure what the answer is. the answer might be as trump would tell you about himself to pierce morgan it might be the economy, which seems to be humming along. it might also be that democratic voters are taking a look at their huge field and saying, how are we ever going to get someone out of the field after a bloody primary, who is going to be able to beat an incumbent. so that may be contributing to it. >> let's taum -- talk climate change. the president is speaking out. stand by. this came up again with prince charles in the interview with pierce. so here is that clip. >> i believe that there is a change in weather and i think it changes both ways. don't forget it used to be

. >> president, gloria borger, is complaining, quote, this mueller thing never ends.'s afraid of the impact of these televised hearings? >> sure. this president understands television. he knows a lot of people will be tuning in, particularly because they've only heard from bob mueller for about, what, nine minutes over the last two years? and the american public does want to hear from him. i think the question that we all have, and to follow up on jeffrey, if bob mueller gets asked the question, what did you find that donald trump did that's criminal, why wouldn't his answer just be, well, you saw what we said in our report? we listed ten ways that he might have obstructed justice but because the office of legal counsel we could not prosecute. i think they'll have to hone in on would you have prosecuted, were it not for that office of legal counsel decision? and when did you decide that you couldn't prosecute? but jeffrey's questions are great. i'm just not sure that bob mueller is going to answer any of them. >> neither am i. >> yeah. >> but the facts of the case are

gloria borger she made it clear she doesn't have an appetite to begin formal impeachment proceedingsst the president. >> no, she did make that clear. she has no appetite for that. she also made it clear she has nothing but disdain for in president, saying shelves sorry for him. and when it comes to iran she also makes it clear that she believes that the president given the fact that he pulled out of the nuclear deal has effectively stirred the pot in that region when he didn't need to do so. so while pelosi doesn't want to impeach at this moment, she is not giving him any benefit on anything. >> dee anna what did you think. >> she also suggests that it's the media talking about impeachment all the time when we know talking to our sources that this is becoming a big issue and a divisive issue within the party as a whole. she focused on the committee chairs doing their jobs and following the process. and in this case going down the judicial route. but with he know the chairs themselves are very frustrated and are feeling a lot of heat from their colleagues. and so for this to go on for

. >> chief political analyst gloria borger is here with us. i mean, not only what did you think that have answer, but it was the interplay of the question and the answer. >> well, the question kept coming do you wish he didn't do it. >> because he said he's not safeties. >> that's what jared kushner is saying. he's not rates of, okay. >> and -- and you weren't involved. >> okay. we get that, but, what do you think of it? >> you know, what do you say? completely evasive. and -- and i think kushner was trying very hard not to answer the question directly which he refused to answer. i wasn't involved in that. it's not real an answer. when somebody is asking you a direct question, what do you think about birtherism? what do you think about your father-in-law saying that barack obama wasn't born in the united states? it was racist? well, i wasn't involved in that. that's not the question. >> and it's germane because even if he was not involved in that. >> of course. >> he is there almost as a character witness when it comes to racism for his father

so gloria borger, i'm coming to you. you're the cnn chief political analyst so let's dive in first on north korea. so president trump is pressed on north korea, specifically whether he said he would not spy on them. here is that sound bite. yes, we have it? no we don't. okay, no we don't. so he basically -- he proposed that when he was -- do we have the sound from yesterday? i'm talking to the control room? anyone? okay. we're going to roll with it. live television and he wouldn't allow the spy against kju and coming out because of the "wall street journal" reporting that kim jong-un's half brother was a cia source and so he was asked whether or not the u.s. would spy and what was -- what was the response? >> well, the response was a little confusing. because -- here is the quote. he said it's not what i meant, it is what i said. that was a dig -- >> shrug emoji for me. what does that mean? >> i don't know the answer to that. we know what he said very clearly yesterday. which is that keeping kim jong-un's half brother as

gloria borger, cnn political director david chalian, jess mcintosh. she's a cnn political commentator. also with us cnn political commentator van jones, host of "van jones show" and former special adviser for president obama. and terry mcauliffe, former dnc chairman and former governor of virginia. mr. mcauliffe? >> i think it was a good night for julian castro and elizabeth warren. i was very happy and proud of the democrats that i think they mentioned president trump's name only a couple of times. if you go back to '15 with president obama, i think it was every other sentence in the republican debate. i thought that was good. good discussion on the issues. i'm a little disappointed. i think we needed to have more discussion on those issues that actually affect americans every single day. they didn't want to hear us talking about mitch mcconnell and we spent a lot of time on medicare for all. people sitting home right now, anderson, they're worried about their prescription drug costs. they're worried about getting in a car and, you know, driving and

let's get some reaction from our political and legal experts and gloria borger, what do you think?g out that possibility very clearly. >> but he doesn't seem in any rush. you know, he says it might come to that, but not so fast. i think he's in the nancy pelosi school here. >> totally. >> and that is, i'm going to try to get people before my committee. he said to you, you know, it's important that bob mueller testifies. he thinks he's a public servant, he thinks he's going to be able to get him to testify publicly, because that is what they want. it's important for the american public to hear what he has to say, because not everyone has read the mueller report, as he pointed out. so i think what he's saying to you is one foot in front of the other, and we're not going to be pushed into this. but first, we have to tell the story to the american public. >> and he's also making it clear, he wants to make sure that there's a consensus among the democratic leadership and that he and nancy pelosi, the speaker, are on the same page. >> that's right. and one of the things he said, at this
