we see the president in kansas city. he'll be speaking with veterans of foreign wars at that convention, which so many presidents have gone to. but boy, this is a different moment. is he serious about this? we don't know. we've heard the president talk about so many different threats and moves on to something else. we'll see if he actually goes through with it. but it is a topic of discussion. it came exactly a week after that helsinki summit, so it definitely changed the conversation somewhat. but we'll see if they're serious. we'll see if he talks about it today in kansas city. certainly not the venue for this type of conversation normally, but hey, john, what's normal these days? >> interesting perspective at the end there. jeff zeleny at the white house. appreciate it. with me in studio, maggie haberman of "the new york times." jonathan martin, also of "the new york times." and cnn's abby phillip. four of the best reporters in the business at the table. yet, i'm going to start by asking you to read minds. on the way

in the name six school district in kansas city, kansas city public schools, which has gone through a tortuous situation with the desegregation case, poured a lot of money and that got ill spent on buildings, not on instructing the teachers what we've done is we have turned up several generations of poorly and undereducated people who now have children. that poor education that they got taught in that education in their minds wasn't having any major impact on their lives. they have passed on the same attitude to their children. we can continue to repeat the cycle. the real challenge for us as americans, in my opinion, and i think a major challenge for the democratic party, if we choose to take it is that politics right now is all about winning. it's about campaign promises, checking the box so that we can run a give and say i did what i said is going to do. that may be fine in the politics of the world however, what that leaves behind is we are unable and seem to be incapable of finding sustainable solutions to our chronic problems. education is a sustainable solution to our chronic p

in kansas city at the international airport right now. he is getting ready to make a big speech to the veterans of foreign wars at their united states national, this is pertinent because you have to think some of these habits are going to come up when he gets out there in front of the crowd. >> david: let's look at the issue of security clearances. first of all, once you've left your post, whatever it is, you can be read out of the program. i was taken out of that, that's how it should work. i know former cia directors comes to mind, and while at that level, i can see validity to it. then it becomes a question of trust. for many of my friends goes back long before trump, the questions about clapper go long before trump, these are guys with had questions because their politicos and frankly the american people out there, once you're done with your job, your done with your job whether your congressman or a senior official, he read out of this and you can be read back in. when you needed at that level. >> melissa: they both have valid points

i don't know what it is in kansas city. it's probably not more than that. >> a little more. >> okay. $10,000 to $11,000. so let me just share with you that after 12 years of this fight and it's been a tough fight, we have some extraordinary hopeful data to share. and i want to just share a few things. and say one thing before i say a little story of new orleans. the work to reform our schools started before katrina. there's a myth out there that all of this started when the levies broke and the water came in and everybody -- no. our reforming our poor-performing schools started well before katrina and it wasn't just focused on new orleans although that's where it ended up being most noticed. but it started by a group of citizens. black, white, hispanic. everyone saying there's something wrong with our public schools in the cities in the countries in the parishes in the rural areas. let's try to fix it. this is not even a partisan issue in louisiana. we just sort of said our schools need to be better. and we're like the 50th

one of the neighborhood in kansas city, 86% african-american, the unemployment rate is 17%. and 96% african-americans, the unemployment rate is 26%. and unemployment so low and at school employment to the people not employed in those communities it is not close to unemployment, 18% of the african-american population at a poverty rate compared to 8%. and recognize the corners and that tends and pristine and clean. if there is one thing on a broad scale that would help this party, the things we do in kansas city and all cities do it as well because it is essential to how we govern. we like to govern based on facts and data and citizen input. i would conduct a nationwide citizen satisfaction survey, not a paul, the citizens actually get to tell us what they think is important and it could be collated by geography, social economics and different things so there's a map. the benefit of doing things like that is once you know what citizens think is important, you can govern to fulfill promises and do things. what we do when we have been doing that is as we move forward with our su

viewers,st for our that is president trump arriving in kansas city. he is going to be addressing thousands of veterans of foreign wars. we saw president trump stand up with president putin last monday and say he sided with president putin and against his own intelligence service about the extent to which there has been interfered spirit was that being tough -- which there has been interference. was that being tough? >> i think to stand with our intelligence community, to stay thousands of miles away from elections. that moment, is what you are supposed to do with it. that is what i would do. unfortunately, it overshadowed a of topics that were discussed. the counterterrorism fight is another one. there is a lot to discuss. israel, as it relates to building a land bridge to israel. there was a lot discussed in their meeting, discussed at a press conference that was overshadowed because of what should have been an opportunity to stand with the community and send a message. david: on that point, are you concrete steps this government is taking to protect

>> well, look, what i think is make sure here in kansas city we continue the progress we made and it ent in your question is whether or not that means we have to protect everybody here in our city, and absolutely we do. >> ben jealous, i'd like to hear your take on this. do you believe that we should abolish i.c.e. in this country? >> no. what i do think is we need to get rid of trump. well need to get back to a real conversation that reflects the values of our country for how we welcome people who are coming to our shores, who are coming to our country. my own family descends from folks who came here on my father's side all the way through ellis island, starting out in salem in 1624. and what we know is each wave of immigrants has made us stronger. this president has been fixated in turning i.c.e. into a railroad abusive force, pushing it way beyond what its actual mission is, at the same time building a wall and actually tearing children from the arms of their parents and putting them in cages. and so i get why folks are calling for i.c.e. to be abolished. i mean, i understand their

that mocking the president which isn't the case -- >> we believe this and take you live back to kansas city, missouri, president trump about to speak to the thousands of veterans gathered here for the national vfw convention. >> isn't this a great way to start off? what a better way to bring greetings to the president of the united states. it took my introduction, it is with a great deal of pleasure and honor for me to introduce the president of united states, donald j. trump. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [inaudible conversations] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> thank you, lee. thank you, lee. and thank you all so to commander harmon. we're grateful for your service, for your leadership and this incredible organization. that's what it is, it's incredible.

he spoke in kansas city in 1919 and he spoke about democracy in kansas city and about american democracy and the preservation and extension of the democracy to the world. the irony of that is of course he was speaking about democracy in a town run by tom pendergast. patricia o'toole portrays it as constantly retreated into himself a crucial moment. it's not unlike the brilliant portrayal of henry and his but also she treats him with great empathy and as a man of deep faith in both democratic and christian values and leadership that he believed in servant leadership that sometimes come to me switch in my experience is usually a very partial humility which it was withe woodrow wil wilson. it was possibly excluding those thatin were occasionally unforgiving of the man in his third term but henry cabot lodge gets fair treatment and after the war they also are treated well and it's hard not to admire a guy that wilson released 14 points and god only had ten.
