Discussion. as per your question, i did say it and i did discuss it a little bit after that too. >> do you buy this? >> if you watch the videotape of him saying dont medal in our elections, trump seems to take it as a joke because pompeo is cracking up wildly four feet away. he was prompted to do this by an american reporter asking him a question. so this was a half-hearted attempt to tell putin to back off. unclear if he is actually going to do that. he denies medaling. if you dont have preside...

>> reporter: well, this was a very important meeting for president trump with chinas president xi jinping, given the escalating trade war and the trade talks that have deteriorated over the past several weeks. there appears to be a truce. nothing close to a deal yet but president trump announcing the u.s. will not impose war sanctions or more tariffs on more chinese goods, something he had threatened to do next week and that trade talks are effectively back on. the tariffs that are already in ef...

Good morning. antoine, ill start with you. what do you make of these criticisms. is there going to belong-term hurt here? >> i dont think so. i think joe biden came into this debate as the front-runner so there was different level expectations and different level of performance for him versus senator harris. with that being said, i get -- we cant downplay what the senator was feeling about this issue. my leader, jim clyburn says in his memoirs our lives are the sum total of our experiences and s...

Court, the court will go the same way. especially with newly installed justices. these are justices that might be inclined to side with the government. some of the recent cases have shown that they are not as predictable as everybody thought they were going to be. there is a shot for the government to win at the supreme court on this daca issue. >> this other issue is the supreme court ruling. that cannot be heard in federal court. the justice had a fiery decent saying, quote, of all the times t...

Stepping into north korean territory. how do you interpret that? is it an issue he says that so comfortably? >> he says everything so comfortably. the president of the united states is very much into symbolism and he likes photo opportunities. . he himself said this would be a photo opportunity. there is no substance here. him stepping across to north korea is not going to change the arc of discussions with north korea over economic sanctions or anything else. at the end of the day, it is just a...

War with china, that he wont impose a new round of tariffs on china. he will hold off as talks continue. thats certainly going to calm global markets, quite concerned by the prospects of these two sides being so far apart. the president, of course, always has his eye on politics back at home, his re-election campaign. he was asked about the democratic debate, particularly that heated interaction between former vice president joe biden and senator kamala harris in which she took issue with his re...

>> were looking at live pictures in seoul, south korea, of the president arriving there in his motorcade. what i want to know from you is what about the issue and the conversation he had on the side with the crown prince of saudi arabia and the jamal khashoggi issue and whats happened since his murder, what was your take away from that? >> what weve seen is the president is demonstrating a classic shock and awe diplomacy. this is what he does. the fact that he praises crown prince mohammed bin s...

Apolitical nature of the way that it carries out prosecutions. you know, i think you could imagine him saying comments very similar to what fbi director wray said in taking issue with attorney general barr, characterizing the investigation into the trump campaign as spying, for instance. >> garrett graff, i appreciate it. thanks very much. still ahead, president trump unveils a merit-based immigration plan that fails to address some key issues. were keeping him honest, next. i was driving home...

Trump has unveiled his plan, if it can be called that, to reform legal immigration and border security. its been sold as merit-based, giving preference to the high skilled and educated, however short on details, and that is putting it mildly. the white house says they intentionally left out the things that were too divisive. keeping them honest, the whole issue is divisive, in no small part due to this white house. in this plan, for instance, there is no mention of daca for the dreamers. there s...

Seemed to be siding at first with democrats saying that, you know, he wanted comprehensive immigration reform, and then he was reminded by republicans that thats not really a term that hes supposed to be using because it has a different connotation than perhaps he understands. but to not include daca in any speech, obviously its going to be a non-starter for democrats. they made it clear that daca has to be part of comprehensive immigration reform. >> trump talked about that very early on as you...
