Be prominently featured. Well get to that in a moment. We start with a shakeup in the 2020 race days after democrats first debates. Former Vice President joe biden has been leading in the polls since jumping into the race two months ago. But the primary is now suddenly wide open. Theres a new top tier and a sense among many campaigns and democratic operatives that biden and Bernie Sanders are within reach in a race thats broken wide open. Senator Kamala Harris has been gaining momentum, after taking on biden. Her rivals coming to her defense today after donald trump jr. Shared a tweet that questioned her race. Asking, is this true . He later deleted the tweet. Her democratic hopefuls taking to twitter and the television to support her. This is a game that these folks play. They put something out there. You notice what he did. He tweeted it out and then he deleted. Like a coward, so he can say thats just a mistake. He knows what hes doing. Hes giving voice to these racist, you know, utterances about senator harris. Joining me now from South Carolina, South Carolina state representative j. A. Moore, a surrogate for the harris campaign. Nbc road warrior mike menially, following. And zerlena maxwell. Representative moore, ill start with you because you are in South Carolina. Joe biden, he likened the tweet about harris to the birther attacks against former president barack obama. What do you make of it, representative, and whats the campaigns plan to deal with it . Craig, its good to hear from you. We originally met here in South Carolina, just a few weeks ago. I tell you what, its just simply racist and its actually a trend with the trumps racist attacks, as you remember, with the birther issue, with president obama. Listen, its a tactic that will not work. Senator harris is committed to prosecuting the case against donald trump. And so theyre afraid. I mean, theyre really concerned. But look, here in South Carolina were used to dealing with segregationists and racists like strom thur man and the likes. Were prepared to take the fight to donald trump. Were confident and ready to really talk about senator harris agenda, her 3 00 a. M. Agenda dealing with paying teachers more to closing the gap in income inequalities here in this country. Zerlena, what do you make of the back and forth so far . This is birther 2. 0. Its not a coincidence donald trump jr. Would tweet this and then feign ignorance. The point being brought up is serious. Its not a surprise because Kamala Harris is part of the black American Experience even though shes a first generation or Second Generation immigrant in that she was born in this country to immigrant parents, one is jamaican, one is indian. And that is a lot of black peoples experience in this country. I would also add that she went to Howard University and is an aka. Those are two things that i didnt do and im a black person. So im just saying that, you know, the way that we quantify whether or not somebody is black enough, is bs. Its really something that we do that there are no rules, its just subjective. Youre just trying to criticize someone when you should focus on their policies. And, again, Kamala Harris identifies as black and there are parts of her experience that mirror mine. So i think that we should all look at what we have that is similar to her and try to find those connections and focus on the policies on the other side. You maintain that this may not be the only controversy surrounding race that she is going to have to deal with moving forward. No. I think that this is just a start of a lot of controversies that are going to come her way because shes a black woman. Shes going to face a lot of scrutiny in a similar way but not the exact same way that barack obama did. So one thing i think thats going to come up is the fact that her husband is white. And i think that certain men of color will have an issue with this. And i just want to put a marker down here to say that if you have an issue with that you need to work that out in therapy and not at the ballot box. Thats right. That is right. The issues of race continue to be front and center in the campaign. The heels of that bussing dust up at the debate. Joe biden getting criticism about comments he made friday about black teachers. Well play what he said and well play cory bookers response. Here it is. Weve got to recognize that kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next not a gang banger. As a guy growing up as a young black guy in america who was followed and surveilled, faced that indignity and the danger of that, being perceived to be a threat, again, this is just another example of just conversations or lessons that joe biden shouldnt have to learn. Mike, hows the Biden Campaign handling this particular criticism . What are you hearing . Theyre trying to put this in the larger context of a primary fight thats engaged in a way that hadnt been previously. Youve heard me say this before that bidens biggest strength had been his perceived strength and over the course of june, as we saw a number of controversies, both about abortion, and especially that controversy about his comments about segregationists you saw some of his rivals, especially those two africanamerican candidates, Kamala Harris and cory booker begin to take aim at the Vice President over what had been one of the big cornerstones of his strengths, which is his support among the Africanamerican Community. The statement the Biden Campaign put out in response to that specific sound bite you played from chicago on friday. Didnt offer an apology or clarification. It doubled down on what the Vice President was trying to say, which was that this is him speaking to the concerns of africanamerican women mothers especially about concerns ant criminal justice reform. Well see the Vice President s not on the campaign trail for another couple days, hell in iowa on wednesday heading into parades. They believe its a controversy thats largely focused on tv and twitter and not one thats moving too many votes just yet. They believe that this too shall pass. Rick tyler, if you were advising joe biden, if bidens response had been something akin to my bona fides with regard to race shouldnt be questioned, remember barack obama picked me has his number two, if there had been some version of that uttered do you think that perhaps the response would have been different . How would you have counselled him to have handling these critiques the past few days and weeks . Craig, all the critiques hes getting are all selfinflicted. Kamala harris took an opportunity that was handed to her because of joe bidens remarks. And then when he tries to clarify it, you know, he understand up making it worse. Now, he is running against a president who thinks bussing is the primary means of which children get themselves to school. But and so its not surprising to me that his son would tweet out such a tweet but in a sense it let joe biden off the hook because were talking about what don jr. Did as opposed to what joe biden did. He needs to sit down and get good advice, of course, from africanamericans, on how his words are perceived. So he can learn to communicate what he actually means and not provide more fodder for the next round of the news stories that will negatively impact him. State representative moore there are some democrats whove criticized harriss debate strategy with regards to joe biden, politico reporting that harris is facing debate backlash. Biden supporters and democrats are describing harriss assault on biden as an all too calculated overreach after she knocked him on his heels in a grilling over bussing and his remarks on segregationist senators. Former illinois senator said her ambition got it wrong about joe. Whats the campaigns response to that criticism . Well, i think its misguided. Listen, senator harris talked about it when she first announced that she was running for president , that she would speak truth to power no matter who the person was. Thats what we saw the other night at the debate. She was just speaking truth to power. You know, i think we all have personal stories in the Africanamerican Community about bussing and institutional discrimination. My aunt loretta was bussed in she was one of the first groups of africanamericans to integrate at strong Thurman High School in edgefield, north carolina. It was a valid point. She had to speak truth to power. I disagree with that analysis. Meanwhile, turning here to some fund raising numbers. I saw this this morning and i was struck by it. Pete buttigieg, out with a Second Quarter fund raising numbers, hauling in more than 24 million. Almost 25 million in the Second Quarter. Does that cement his position as a top tier candidate . It cements someone who went out of the town hall moment and a little bit of trouble in terms of his dealing with the Police Department in his own town. So i think that what it shows is that it wasnt just a fluke. The bloom lit we saw earlier in the summer and that hes here to stay. Im not sure if the top tier is completely set yet. I think obviously youre going to have biden in there, youre going to have bernie in there. But im not sure about the other three. I think they may sort of flip, the warren, harris, buttigieg may flip and change order as we head closer. Were so far out from iowa. Were over 200 days out. So there is still a lot that can happen and politics is not predictable. Otherwise gary hart would have been the nominee. Thats true. Rick, do you agree with politicos assessment that this thing is wide open . Of course its wide open. Were going to cover it all the way. Any number one concern, i get a lot of criticism about this on twitter, i watch the two debates and i look at what democrats are saying and theyre not appealing to the blue collar voters they need to win back in michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin. Theyre talking about a government takeover of health care, medicare, which is a 32 trillion proposition, theyre talking about these huge, expansive programs and theyre talking about gun buybacks. And im not sure the Blue Collar Workers in those states that message is really appealing to them. So i worry about if they want to beat donald trump, are these the messages they really need to get across . Im not sure. Rick, youre sticking around. Zerlina you were nodding your head. Those messages were targeted to black people who were not repressed in 2016. Thank you to my panel. Nbc news exclusive, preparing for riots.

Breaking news right now from iran, an International AtomicEnergy Agency has just confirmed iran has now gone over the limit of its uranium stock files, the limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal. Ali aruzi is there. Reporter iran has been threatening to roll back its commitments to the nuclear deal and theyve breached the limits of its stockpile set by the nuclear deal. Theyre confirming the 300 kilo cap had been exceeded. As you said the iaea has confirmed that. Under the terms iran agreed to ship out or sell all of its stockpiles of low enriched uranium. Now theyre saying theyre not going to do that and theyre going to keep it all. And tehran said it would exceed its limits over the weekend but they held off a couple days to see if a meeting in vienna would yield any results. To see if the europeans could shield iran from u. S. Sanctions. Well, tehran said some progress had been made but it wasnt enough to convince the Islamic Republic to change its course and look craig irans strategy has been to breach the agreement by a step by step fashion, to bring pressure on the europeans, to help tehran resist the weight of u. S. Sanctions. But in reality its probably going to have the opposite effect as the europeans seem unable to protect iran and this breach will only magnetically pull them towards the u. S. Position. In some ways this is kind of a gift to President Trump because and his policy of maximum pressure because they can now Start Building a coalition against iran amongst those countries that were reluctant to sign on to President Trumps ripping up to have the nuclear deal. He can now turn round to the europeans and say, look, iran has violated the deal. You need to snap back sanctions on iran. Now, the big question is, whats irans next move . The breach of these stockpiles is provocative, but its a small step. On sunday iran said it may start enriching up to 20 . That would almost definitely be a deal breaker. Craig . Thank you, ali. We turn now to the situation here along the u. S. Mexico border. Nbc news exclusively obtaining an internal report showing that back in may conditions at a border station in el paso, texas were so bad that Border Agents feared riots. The documents challenge claims from the acting dhs chief kevin mclean an on friday, complaints from lawyers about poor conditions were unsubstantiated. Im joined by nbcs Julia Ainsley whos been following the story from the beginning. What did the reports say about Living Conditions for migrants being detained at this station. Craig, this report was done by investigators with the dhs internal watchdog, the Inspector General and they dropped in on several border stations in the el paso sector on may 7th. Thats the same sector that we heard those horrific stories coming out of last week. But this now dates those conditions back months so it shows us how long this has been going on and how long the department of Homeland Security and officials in washington had been made aware of those conditions. Some of the things they detail are 756 immigrants sharing four showers. There was a cell that was meant for 35 that they put 155 single adult men inside without enough room to lie down to sleep. Half of the immigrants who are outside, there were children also outside, did not have mats to sleep on. And were wearing the same clothes they had been for weeks because no one was provided with a fresh change of clothing. And what this meant from an operations perspective, from the Border Agents, is they knew that conditions were so bad they feared riots, craig, and they started to arm themselves, bringing their weapons into areas that they would not normally bring them. What else is in that report . Did they indicate that the situation along the border was at all normal . No, that was the this was the flag. This report prompted warnings within the department of Homeland Security to say this is a management issue. Weve known for some time there was a funding issue. Dhs wanted more funding so that they could get these migrants out of these conditions and into places like i. C. E. And health and Human Services but they said this is a management issue. They even talked about agents who are having to use their own Government Credit cards to go and buy food because there just werent plans in place to stock these places with enough food and basic supplies for the population they had coming in. We know now that the numbers in june have begun to drop by 25 . They expect a number when we get those out probably in about a week that june will have seen a 25 decline compared to may but it shows that when this was increasing, in the heat of all of this, dhs did not handle some basic management issues.

This morning a top trump official is pushing back on a new report from the New York Times that the u. S. Might accept a deal to let north korea keep the Nuclear Weapons it already has rather than destroy them. National security adviser john bolton tweeting he has not heard of any desire to settle for a Nuclear Freeze by north korea. He adds the times should face consequences for its reporting, coming on the heels of President Trumps historic step into north korea on sunday. Im joining by richard engel, aaron blake, and jim walsh. A Research Associate at m. I. T. s Security Studies program. Richard, start with you there. Lets talk about this propaganda video that the North Koreans have already produced after that historic step that trump made into their country. What was in that video . So, unlike a lot of north korean propaganda, which is very aggressive, often threatening to obliterate the United States with Nuclear Weapons thats the standard fare. This was totally different. This was gushing. It was effusive. It was talking about new beginnings. How the United States and north korea are going to put their ugly past behind them and theyre going to build relations. And it showed the north Korean Leader kim jongun as a gracious host, welcoming President Trump across the border. It showed kim jongun meeting e with ivanka trump. It heaped praise on the meeting and said it exceeded expectations, shocked the world, was a moving experience. There was an article in the north korean state media that accompanied this piece that talked about a Mysterious Force that was driving good will and good relations and that would lead to a better outcome. So you couldnt have asked for a more positive endorsement from north korea. It was pretty clear that they were pleased with how this went. One thing, however, if you watched this event it happened over the weekend, it happened very late at night in the United States. If you watched the raw feed you could see what actually happened. It was a totally chaotic scene. There were camera men bumping into security. It was a one pool camera that was panning left, right, it was often hard to see what was going on. But the North Koreans cut all of that out so what they presented was a very neat, orderly and organized event in which President Trump went to the dmz, came across the border and then was welcomed back and that they had a very pleasant discussion. A somewhat sanitized version of the messy events that unfolded. Jim, heres what the New York Times is reporting about possible negotiations. We should note here that nbc news has not matched the New York Times reporting so far but according to the times the concept would amount to a Nuclear Freeze one that essentially enshrines the status quo and tacitly accepts the north as a nuclear power, something Administration Officials have often said they would never stand for. What are the risks of keeping north koreas capabilities where they stand right now . Well, obviously if they continue to have Nuclear Weapons then our allies, south korea and japan, will continue to feel threatened. We may feel better about it but i dont think japans going to feel better about it. Ive been a critic of the president on iran, and any deal that he gets here isnt going to be close to the deal he walked out on for iran. But i you know, things were going in a negative direction. After the failed hanoi summit there were no negotiations, there were no talks. Kim was hinting he may restart Nuclear Testing at the beginning of the year if things continue to go unresolved. Insofar as its better to be talking than not talking, and i do believe that, then this photo op may have been useful. I mean, after all, kim left hanoi, perhaps with a loss of face, stewing in that long train ride back to north korea. In this case the president invited him to meet him and it was the president who went to north korea as it were and stepped over. And so i think kim probably feels like hes gotten some satisfaction here. Whether this turns into real behavior and action six months from now, thats an open question. Jim, if you were advising this president would you have advised him to step foot in north korea . I dont think he would Pay Attention to any adviser, including me. This is classic donald trump, the moment he tweeted that, i think it was friday that he was going to go to the dmz and did kim want to meet him there . I knew he was going to jump over. Thats who he is. Normally Foreign Policy professionals would criticize that saying youre giving up something for nothing but, you know, trump is going to do that no matter what. If it turns things in the right direction it will have been worth it. If it doesnt no ones going to remember this. Aaron, you wrote about something that happened over the weekend. President trump was asked about his views on western style liberalism. And when i heard it i immediately thought back to my government days at wafford college. He was asked about liberalism and heres what the president had to say. His comments to the financial times, right before arriving here, was that western style liberalism is obsolete. You probably havent read the interview. He may feel that way. He sees whats going on and i guess if you look at whats happening in los angeles, where its so sad to look and whats happening in San Francisco and a couple of other cities which are run by an Extraordinary Group of liberal people, i dont know what theyre thinking. Do you think he thought that he was asking about liberalism in the western part of the United States of america . I think its abundantly clear and i think that there is certainly a contingent of the president s support that appreciates the idea that this is not a traditional politician. That hes not some egghead dealing with Political Science issues on a daily basis. But also consider this. The idea that liberal democracy is under assault in europe is a major story right now. We just saw European Union elections in which this was a major focus, whether these populist movements in europe were rising in power and ultimately basically getting rid of liberal democracy potentially. The idea that the president , even in the most basic terms doesnt seem to have consumed that news or understood exactly whats happening in such an important region of the world i think is rather stunning and maybe even more stunning than the kind of odd comments that he offered about bussing. If the president , indeed, doesnt truly understand what liberal democracy is or that the, you know, russian president Vladimir Putin would not be too concerned with what California Democrats are up to thats a pretty remarkable lack of knowledge on the president s behalf. Meanwhile, ivanka trump was at many high profile events during the g20. An article in your paper reports the gray area she occupies, family, employee, envoy, advocate, frequently overlaps with the work of career diplomats. But her unfamiliarity with some elements of diplomacy were on display on this trip. It cites an example of ivanka mentioning india as a critical ally. Were there other mistakes on the International Stage this weekend . Obviously, were talking here about whether he should have crossed into north korean soil. Obviously, ivanka trumps role in this is totally undefined. I think that there is a certain desire on the president s behalf to get his family in these situations to make them appear as though they are formidable. You know, maybe that hes just the proud dad. But a conspiracy theorist would say hes setting them up for something in the future. We also saw that scene in which ivanka trump was standing next to World Leaders that didnt seem to have regard for what she was saying. We can read a little bit too much into a few seconds of video clip but i think that, you know, it would be understandable for them to believe that she was somebody who didnt quite belong there. We will have to leave it there. Richard, thank you, sir. Aaron, thank you. Always good to have you, jim walsh, thank you as well. Thank you. We continue to follow this breaking news in hong kong. These are live pictures, live pictures of protesters as they storm their way, attempt to storm their way into the legislative chamber there in hong kong. All of this coming as thousands of demonstrators march through that city. Its the 22nd anniversary of hong kongs handover from british to chinese rule. Its also the latest in a series of nearly a month of protests against this law that would allow suspected criminals to be extradited from hong kong to mainland china. But again this is the scene outside that legislative chamber in hong kong. Back here, military tanks on the national mall, something President Trump reportedly pushing, pushing for ahead of that big fourth of july address to the nation. Details how the government is scrambling to give him what he wants. I was cured and left those doubts behind. I faced reminders of my hep c every day. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. Even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. Mavyret is the only 8week cure for all common types of hep c. Before starting mavyret your doctor will test if youve had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. Tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. Dont take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if youve had certain liver problems. Common side effects include headache and tiredness. With hep c behind me, i feel free. Fearless. And theres no looking back, because i am cured. Talk to your doctor about mavyret. Introducing zero account fees for brokerage accounts. And zero minimums to open an account. At fidelity, those zeros really add up. Maybe ill win, saved by zero President Trump seems to be in charge of this big fourth of July Celebration in d. C. On thursday, advising on every aspect, according to the Washington Post he wants military tanks on the mall as part of the grandiose event. Im joined now by the Washington Post reporter who broke the story. Juliet oprin, and rick tyler is back with me as well. Julia, walk us through what you found out about the president s request for the fourth of july. The president whos been deeply involved in this planning of this salute to america has wanted as robust a military component as possible so weve reported and theyve announced the blue angels will be performing, some effort to honor all branches of the military but now we have multiple officials confirming the president has pushed for tanks to be part of, you know, for example, a prop, in other words, rather than doing some sort of moving parade, that they would be stationed in some way so that, you know, around the Lincoln Memorial where hes giving his speech. But their real issues about moving tanks on d. C. City streets, the pentagon last year cautioned against doing that as part of an earlier military parade that the president had envisioned so theres been ongoing negotiations between the pentagon, the National Park service and the white house itself to see if there are other armored tactical vehicles that could be used instead. This is still in flux as we stand here today. How much is this thing going to cost, do we know . Thats an excellent question and one that weve been asking for a while and that the administration has not disclosed at this point. But you know, youre alluding to a valid point, which is that it costs money to move this kind of, you know, these kinds of vehicles, and even more important when you have these jets flying and we not only have the blue angels but today weve confirmed there will be an f35 flying as well and there could be an even more robust military aviation display that costs tens of thousands of dollars if not more with fuel costs alone to say nothing of other Construction Costs and other costs going into this event. Rick, this doesnt sound so much like a fourth of july parade than it does a military parade. What do you surmise is the thinking here . This is another photo op, craig. It was the same reason were supposed to be applauding donald trump for not tripping over a curb between north and south korea. That was the extent of his accomplishments the last three days. Hes good at planniting so hes planted this fireworks display. Hes changing the nature of it. Theres also, i think, julia, reporting that says that theres a plane that would play air force one thats going to fly overhead as well and that hes going to speak at this event for some time so that turns not into a celebration about america and freedom, and the military certainly has a role in protecting our freedom and thats great. But this is now turned into a full blown televised political event and i just think thats wrong. Is there anything anyone can do to halt this . That appears unlikely at this point. There are plenty of lawmakers who have been asking for greater details on what the administration is doing. Theyve not gotten answers yet. This includes in the democratic controlled house and then on the senate side Senate Democrats have been asking for it but you dont see any movement on the part of congressional leaders on the republican side to weigh in on this question and at this point what these agencies can do is move money around and then, you know, later explain to congress how much theyve spent so it seems as if this is definitely full speed ahead and the only question is what these different agencies decided is doable given were only a few days out from this celebration. Rick, are you going to go . Ill be home cooking steaks and hamburgers and hot dogs for all my family and friends. And they could use the striker vehicles. That wont dig up the roads too much. If they use tanks thats going to be a nightmare for d. C. Commuters. Rick tyler, enjoy your 4th if i dont see you before. Thank you. An old wound that landed in the middle of the last president ial debate, segregation and bussing. Brown v.

So maybe ill win, saved by zero 65 years after brown versus board of education, discussing on bussing essentially define the first round of the 2020 debates. You know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her Public Schools and she was bussed to School Every Day and that little girl was me. In the south, integration was high, progress quite slow. On the anniversary of the decision to rule segregation unconstitutional, i visited one city where the power of the game was enough to change one communit community. It was story so incredible, hollywood took notice. I dont care if you like each other right now but you will respect each other. Remember the titans, starring denzel washington, told the tale of a city with segregation and a Football Team that helped to unite it. In the film it seemed as if the change happened overnight. Was it that fast . No. But we did make a difference. We learned to get along with each other as a team. By the time we won the state championship in december, we had unified the city, to a degree. Fans would be on both sides of the field. Earl cook and mike lynch were two of the reallife titans on the high school Football Team. The city of alexandria, virginia, still resistant to the governments push for integration finally combined three rival high schools into one. Black and white students that fall would be side by side for the first time ever. Did you appreciate then that you were a part of this Great National experiment called integration . I know i did not appreciate it then. And i see now that what we, the kids, accomplished was a good thing. But you knew michael was white and mike knew you were black. Yeah, yeah, but theres a distinct difference in athletics, all through the sports. Your teammates are your teammates. You bond.
