Author of songs of america officially out tomorrow and morning joe and economic analyst Steve Rattner, along with president of the council on Foreign Relations and author of a world in disarray and also with us form of dccc, adrienne el rod, an ms red sox slugger david ortiz is in stable condition after being shot in the back. Police say ortiz was approached by two assailants, one of whom is still at large and the bullet that hit ortiz in the back exited through his stomach. According to witnesses, only one shot was fired. A Police Press Conference is expected later this morning. Jonathan, obviously shocking news not only for those of us who have grown up loving david ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, but bu also for all baseball fans, everybody thats known this man, as he was going into surgery he said something to the doctors that so many people that have known ortiz through the years inside and outside of Major League Baseball have known, and that is i am a good man, asking them to save him. He is a good man. In fact, ortiz said hed much rather be remembered as being a nice person than a great baseball player. This was truly shocking news when it broke late last night. Hes beloved there and it cant be overstated what he means to the city of boston and throughout new england. He was a fear competitor but an the clutch hits time and time again, he led the comeback against the yankees in 2004 that ended the championship drought and two more championships followed. A lot of people will remember him in 2013 after the Boston Marathon bombing, he gave this speech at fenway park that this was our [ bleep ]ing city. And that led the team to a world se sear. On the personal note, my son, david met him once and couldnt have been nicer to him. Big papi, were rooling. Our thoughts and prayer are with him and the entire red sox family this morning. Mika, why dont we start in mexico. The agreement that the United States and mexico reached on migration arerts the implementation of President Trumps threatened tariffs on mexican goods. President trump took to twitter on friday night to announce the deal, under troops throughout the country, mainly to its southern about expants a program called migrant, protection, protocols, which as their asylum claims are pending. Mexico also says it will offer those migrants jobs, health care and education. The agreement does not you which would have required the country to permanently accept most acai. The president pushed this as really great news this past weekend. But of course controversy arose immediately because many people in mexico, in the United States and also many reporters are saying this deal was nothing new. So theres been a back and forth this weekend over whether this was new or not. Well, trump called it, quote, a new deal. Reports say mexico previously agreed to deploy forces in march. A Key Administration official said key elements of the deal had been agreed to months ago but added the two sides had agreed to expand on some of the previous commitments. The official noted mexicos commitment to deploy up to 6,000 troops was modestly larger, up from about 5,400 and npr reports that full a federal judge blocked the implementation of that program but an Appeals Court said it could move forward while the legal challenge proceeds. So after averting a crisis he set into motion, President Trump is now dpee that critics say will do little to curb the migrant crisis. Arrests at the border have been soaring in recent months, to levels that are twice of what they were under president obama, putting President Trump under pressure to address the issue. As new yorker staff roois are the president s constant threat of sweeping go to the u. S. Now before its too late. Meanwhile, mexicans favorable view of the United States has been cut in half during the Trump Presidency according to pew research. Richard haas, a very good point made by the new yorker, and this is something weve seen from the very beginning. Barack obama over the course of the Obama Presidency had taken extraordinarily high illegal Border Crossing numbers and using both carrot and stick got those numbers down to 50year lows. President trump has come in and because of the threats, because of the sky is falling rhetoric, in large part because also as has been said here, playing into the smugglers hands, these actually created part of that crisis and of course the other part of the crisis is caused by the fact that hes cutting actually relief to those Central American countries that need it the most that would keep in the their. I think that last point, joe, is most critical here. Immigration policy cant start at the border and any time it does, youre playing defense and youre playing catch up. The us doesnt have this new agreement may not be all that implementation is lot in lf and one last thing and steve can comment on this. The fact that this was done using authorities, emergency authorities, that were never meant to be used for this purpose at a time the administration had just introduced or started the process of getting the new u. S. mexico trade agreement approved by the u. S. Congress. So its so inconsistent. What this does is undermine any confidence on the part of business i dont think this gained a lot of on implications b but. Peep may not realize just how important of a trading partner sfrp and its also, despite the fact at that the fact is their gdp is that plays right into the hand of those who would not wish the United States well just south of the border. Yeah, mexico is a huge trading partner. What people dont fully appreciate is that its not as if we just buy some stuff from co and many of our imports from mexico, youll see parts going back and forth across the multiple borders as Companies Optimize their supply chains and do some things in the u. S. And some things back in mexico. So for us to get into some of an economic war with mexico is terrible for mexico and its also terrible for us. Youve seen the reaction in the Business Community to what the president has been doing. President trumps been promising relief for American Farmers who obviously are getting hammered every day because of the president s trade war with china. On saturday he tweeted that mexico would be come together rescue, whiting in all caps mexico has agreed to immediately begin buying large quantities of our products. But three mexican officials told bloomberg yesterday they werent aware of any side deals. They wrote last week the importance of separating the signals and the ground noise. These false claims all ground noise, all intended to look tough to his ben mitt theyre nothing more than donald trump falsehoods. We may look back, remember the guy who whats landed his house in the pocket. And hes stlrichard with know more about this than i would. I continue to think that foreign leaders must look at this presidency in the way that we used to look at particularly unstable regimes. You just have to pick and choose and figure out who is going to be here for the long term, who is not going federal budget this would any foreign power theres only two problems with it. One is our allies. They count on our predictability and adversaries, theyre basically say they go can challenge us. They dont have to take it that seriously. So rather than deterring, the day and er day ander of. This past wook he was actually quite gracious to france and other western european allies. And then he turned his rhetorical fire south of of the border to mexico. Its interesting, looking at the Mexican Press this weekend, they have a very different reading of the way that this whole negotiation over tariffs went down. Their headlines are screaming things likes mexico wins, mexico has deactivated trump. Theyre definitely seeing this as something they got the better of the Trump Administration over. That probably unbut and i think thats whats really throwing other countries off. When i was in europe during the course of all last week, a part of the feeling is that, okay, we got oos what happens if theres another for years of donald trump . That is quantifying willbut also the relationship that they have to have with the us. Sfchl and what is the actual impact of these tweets, of these policies, of these tax . And and it interestingthis is a person who is going to be hurt to he wants the allcaps tweet. But at the end of the day, it working class and montanale and the farmers who will feel the pitch the Des Moines Register, media come cnn. Pole still has former Vice President in the lead but his share of the vote has dropped three points since march to 24 this while senator Elizabeth Warren has jumped 6 points to the 1 and mayor butte judge got a sixpoint budge to practically nothing in march to now take 14 of like live caucus goers. Meanwhile, seven others hit 1 in the poll, which helped them as candidates continue to work to qualify for one of the first debates, a lit more than two weeks away. I think the Elizabeth Warren might be the story but talk about those not on the list to this point. What happens to those campaigns . A couple observations about this poll. First of all, were seeing that the top field of candidates, the top contenders are starting to july. Secondly, as you noted, as opposed to 2016 when there was one other candidate i guess two if you want to include martin omalley. Bernie sanders does not exactly is. Hoose been in washington a long toop but he hasnt actually passed a will the of legislation that are saying maybe actually want somebody like Elizabeth Warren who does have a crack record. In terms of the rest of the field a couple of organizations on her as well. Aim aimee and they a lot of accolades because they had supporters where theres work teaking place behind the scenes and strong are base that may not always be reflected in some of these polls. But this really leads up to the fact that the debates matter so much, mika. Candidates will have a chance in a couple weeks to really show their stuff for lack of a better term and to cry to create some sort of buy at and that top tier is now solidby hoard before, hes to be doing everything right so far. Shes cut fire hp, for having detailed policy roles out, seemingly throughout the day. Shes really connected. And shes also sort of improved rapidly as a retail politician, which is always sort of a knock on her and she seeps to be really connecting and downbut his lead here is small are that be some of the National Polls that this steve, question for you. You know the democratic field and donor base and so on. Which campaigns here do you think because theres some bold faced names, governors, senators, the mayor of new york city, who doesnt even register on that poll. The debate will be a flash point for certain. But coming out of that, which campaigns are going to be in real trouble if they cant really start catching fire either in the polls its the people they would look this is support for all the candidates. But theres a disconnect between the people who my world like to see win and those who are actually dethe as we said. Nobody can really break out. As we said earlier, the campaign others enjoyed the rice everything loves to talk about it, its still too early, stl too early. When you have 21, 22 people in the field, its not too early to be sitting at 1 looking at all the people youre going to see Second Quarter fundraising reports coming out soon. I think youll see dramatic dropoffs and very small amou amouamount. People will say its going to be clear by the summer that many of tem is for iowa to super tuesday many and it includes california with eight media markets. Youre going to have a ton of monday really quickly to be able to compete in those primaries. So i think youre going to see money win owing out this feel all by itself in israel tifl short order. All right. Also just on Elizabeth Warren, its been fun to watch her kind of slowly climb up. We know how much she loves this. He loves doing town halls, she loves connecting with people. She so resilient and dogged and you see that happening on the campaign trail where she just keeps going at it and it appears to be paying off. Theres a new piept push to stop first, lets go to bill care ngs, a little on some damage at the university of duke and we had three fatalities as three men drove into this creek when the water was high.

Joe bidens president ial campaign is not ready to say where the former Vice President currently stands on past positions related to abortion restrictions. Last week biden abruptly droppedless longstanding opposition to federal funding for abortions, due to what he said is an unprecedented attack on abortion rights. But it followed the blowback from an exclusive nbc report in which his campaign had informed that biten was still in favor of the restriction. In an interview, Biden Deputy Campaign manager Kate Bettingfield would not does he will he ask a potential Supreme Court justice. Is he now supported in its a crisis . Im not going to get out ahead of the Vice President. I think he has been very rather. Including two to jofr third trimesseder abortion. Would he support a restriction on that . He is a supporter of a womans right to choose. I am not going to get out ahead of him. So john meacham, last week when we were in normandy and i got the news that joe biden still supported banning taxpayer funding for abortions, i thought i saw the visit of the dnc rise from the mist in the distance. Were not going to see that, especially on the topic of abortion where it seems that roe is so under siege right now. Not only from donald trump but also from governors across the country. Yeah, its the ever expanding of polarization. Issues that at least had a 6040 consensus, e. Even if i can the arena where we cant talk to each other about it. I know from just talking in young are women and tennessee, a awill be to take on this president , whom even if hes not directly responsible for whats going on in the state, hes certainly the richest symbolic target. Mika, we have seen one state after another state after another state in the south pmt as weve been show over the past 11, 12 years, an extreme position, always causes an opposite lurch. And just a few weeks ago when this debate really started heating up, we were talking about, you know, half americans consider themselves prolife, half of americans consider themselves prochoice. Those numbers are changing and theyre chaining rapidly. Yes, they are. So over half of americans say they are in favor of legalized abortion, but according to they sel selfdown 12 points. By the way, as you look at those numbers right there, a swing on an issue that has been set in often f it tells you everything you need to know about the impact of these state laws that are being passed. Serve, just 13 wanted. But they are difficult described how limited the law should be. 21 believe protections should be expanded. 16 said leave it alobe. 14 want to keep they would not for a cant that would support theof clarity on the issue sp. Snlt or that he has on this issue is not exactly roo pskt look, the thing that i think candidates should realize and we saw this certainly with Hillary Clinton when i wacked on her came pain in 2016, candidates people evolve over im and heres why. Saw that hp fmt within 48 hours saying he supported the Hyde Amendment and he reversed course quickly. It didnt
