lauren: in the national journal, they write donald trump winning a second term depends on democrats makingrnie sanders has a slight lead over president trump. would that be sanders' speech today on socialism? >> certainly. i mean, if you look at the polling, around three in 10 americans support medicare for all when they know it abolishes private health insuranc insurane increases taxes. these are not popular when people understand what the policy implications are. lauren: senator gillibrand is sparing to having a position on pro life to being racist. listen. >> some issues that have such moral clarity that we have as a society decided that the other side is not acceptable. imagine saying that it's okay to appoint a judge who is racist or anti-semetic or homophobic. lauren: she's being criticized for that. what are your thoughts? >> ignoring the history of nugenics, consider this poll that shows that roughly half of the country opposes illegal abortion. if you look at polling, 0% of the country supports kirsten gillibrand for president and statements like this is why. lauren: thank you ver

so do the assange indictments impinge on freedom of the press or national security journalism?ut that he's not a journalist. >> they could, because if a lot of these leak investigations that are underway actually produce indictments, many more of us could be charged. you know, i went to jail in an effort ten years ago to protect a source, and i'd be willing to do so again. but i'm afraid that the espionage act itself makes the publishing or the soliciting of such information a crime. my solution is let's get the congress to get its act in order here and pass an amendment to espionage act of 1917 that distinguishes between journalists and spies and protects journalists and the free flow of information. now, do i think that's going to happen? no, i don't. this congress can't seem to do anything. that's what should happen, however. arthel: well, that's interesting you say that, because i want to pull up a quote from georgia kneel jaffer -- georgia meal jaffer. here it is, quote: for the purposes of press freedom what matters is not who counts as a journalist, but whether journalis

josh of the "national journal" called him the weakest political shape of any president since george h.wurse, lost his re-election race. what do we see? we see that in polls in key states, even in conservative states, texas, arizona, north carolina, trouble for trump. in the midterms, we saw weakness in his go-to states of pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, all potential problems for him. this remarkable "new york times" report that the president got a very sobering briefing about where he stands in key states that he absolutely has to win. rust belt states where he is losing to joe biden. "new york times" reporting that the president told his aides to deny that the polls said what they said and point to other ones that showed him winning. >> so what are you hearing about how the trump campaign is going to combat these problems? what issue are they going to try to lead with? what's trump's strategy? >> they know there is real softness in these states. the reason they don't seem to be panicked, and certainly the public message is trump always underpolls. we, of course, saw that some in 20

. >> julie: let's bring in josh kraushaar, politics editor for the national journal. what is this go from here? >> not any productive direction. and we none of that donald trump has a nickname for speaker pelosi. it's "nervous nancy." i think it's notable that he avoided giving the speaker a nickname. he held out hope that there could be some kind bipartisan deal for a long, long time. given that a lot of democrats are now calling for the presidents impeachment or holding hearings for impeachment, and given that pelosi has been more motivated by her own base, the relationship between the two is extremely poor and the prospect of any real legislative compromise taking place is as remote as ever. >> julie: that's what i'm fearing, and i think you just read my mind. if this is actually what's going on now, it almost makes it impossible for the president and house democrats to bring together at all. nancy pelosi has made it very clear that she is not going to be working with the president after comments like that. >> it's in a situation for both sides. plus he needs to ho

here for both, of course, is our own marcia coyle, chief washington correspondent for the "national law journal."f welcome to allu. hansi, let's start with the census case first. remind us briefly what it isth the trump administration said in calling for the citizenship question. >> first, is thirs pe a citizen of the united states on ceus forms in order to better enforce part of the voting rights act, specifically to better inform decisions for racial minorities. >> brown: marcia, the court said we're putting this on hold, this decision by the chief justice. >> right. thisecision came in a case brought by the state of new york and the new york immigration coeycil. hallenged the commerce secretary's citizenship question decision, saying it was an arbitrary and capricious decision that violated a federal law known as the administrative procedure act. after a trial a new york federal judge found that there were violations andn particular the critical issue in this supreme court case today was the reason given by secretary ross for the citizenship question. he said, as hansi just said, that it was
