And more often, and even giving names. Were also keeping an eye on the deadly weather situation. At least two dead in tornados in oklahoma. An update on that this hour. Stick around with that if youre on the road or in the area. Starting in japan, President Trump getting ready to meet with Prime Minister shinzu abe. The Prime Minister and i talked a lot about trade and military and various other things. I think we had a very productive day. Then theres the tweet from the president before all that action that is still reverber e reverberating, quote, north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me. I have confidence that chairman kim will keep his promise to me. But those other people the president speaks of is japan itself. Japan is in range of many of the short range missiles. Kristen weller traveling with the president. This does underline the complexity of the way that International Security works in that region, number one, and number two, how this president seems to not be, at least message wise on the same line as his own staff. Thats right. Hes directly contradicting his own National Security advisor, richard, who upon landing here in japan was very firm. John bolton saying hes concerned north koreans missile tests are a violation of the agreement. Thats something put forward from the host country here, which is in range of north korean, yet you have this tweet from President Trump effectively saying that he still trusts kim jongun. That hes going to ultimately be able to strike a deal with kim jongun. We know the japanese Prime Minister is skeptical about that. Sarah sanders was out defending President Trumps comments saying he wants to leave the door open for a deal, but as you know we have covered those talks so closely between President Trump and kim jongun fell apart and its not clear how theyre going to get resumed. Hopefully well have a chance to ask President Trump about this because hes going to hold a joint press conference with Prime Minister abe. Trade will be at the forefront of the talks, President Trump downplaying the prospects of being able to strike a broader trade deal in part because there are elections happening here in july and the pomp and circumstance on monday will be the first world leader to meet the countrys new emperor here. Part of that is why the president is not underlining the trade imbalance, this administration is coming on strong against china. Why the elections is that the reason some might ask or are there other factors being considered . Reporter i think that and there are still a number of sticking points. I think its going to be tough to work through some of those sticking points given that foreign minister abe has the pressure of the local elections here. They have a number of differences when it comes to agriculture beef and also cars. Thats an issue theyre struggling to find areas of agreement so i think youll see the trade talks ongoing through the month of july. You talk about whats happening with japan, the trade war between the u. S. And china. And japan is watching whats happening with the trade war closely, thats one of the issues driving both of these leaders to try to get a deal when it comes to trade between the u. S. And japan. This president with a waive of bilateral discussions. Thank you, kristen. The second part of the president s tweet on north korea getting a lot of political reaction in the United States. Chairman kim smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low iq individual and worse, perhaps sending me a signal. The president originally misspelled bidens name and has the white house in defensive mode. The president is not siding with that, but i think they agree in their assessment of former Vice President joe biden. Again, the president s focus in this process is the relationship he has in making sure we continue on the path towards denuclearization. Thats what he wants to see and thats what the people in this region want to see. Lets bring in our panel, jane newton small, kevin swirly, and katty fang. Lets start with you kevin on the reporting about north korea, what the u. S. Policy is with dealing with north korea and as we know this president does like to underline that he does quite well onetoone. Two things. First and foremost whether you agree with it or not, north korea leader kim jongun has been norm alized in the sense how hes perceived on the world stage. Some who think thats positive and some who think its negative. The bottom line is hes communicating on a world stage as a direct result of President Trump meeting with him in person. The second point, if you talk to intelligence officials and look at north koreans Nuclear Ambitio ambitions they have not subsided. That has potential political risks for the president who is trying to negotiate this with kim jongun for several years now. The other topic rum nating this weekend is the back and forth between nancy pelosi and the president. If we look at the amount of words and type of words chosen by nancy pelosi, if youre a close watcher of language, she has increased a bit of the warmth and the rhetoric and the words shes using in addressing President Trump. Richard, youre right. This is interesting because i think pelosi is responding to her base here. The base is starting to clam orto want more of an impeachment hearing into President Trump. Theres pressure to take the bigger leap and step in effect investigating donald trump, so i think you see her rhetoric reflected in that in her calling him out a little bit more and perhaps needling him a little bit knowing hes one that will always take the bait and hit back pretty hard. And those wars of rhetoric do play ball with both of their bases. This is pelosi trying to heat things up with the president without going full deep into impeachment hearing or inquiry which shes been avoiding so far. The words coming from President Trump to nancy pelosi, now joe biden. It has been said that this president does well when he attaches those names, alond it worked well for him. As hes done in more recent months with leader pelosi, will it stick as much because there is no base that has, if you will, a vote in what nancy pelosi does . I think personally President Trump would rather be sparring with speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, than trying to divide republicans on how to pay for infrastructure, thats number one. And secondly, Speaker Pelosi would rather be fighting with President Trump than fighting with the progressive wing of her party not just on impeachment but on how to pay for the new green deal or Health Care Issues or environmental packages. I think if you look at the polling and the talk to political strategists on both sides of the aisle, this back and forth is kind of a wash, and most consultants on both sides say it helps them politically in the short term as well. Katty, jay saying on whats happening on the beltway, democrats doing better on this or republicans . Kevin saying its a wash right now. Of course, its tough to tell as things go back and forth over time. There are still a lot of questions to be raised about the mueller investigation, Something Like 28 investigations into the president , whether theyre in the courts or congress. But this is an issue that the rest of america is not paying attention to. Most members of congress are not hearing from their constituents or its rare to hear from the constituents about impeachment, the mueller investigation, its about health care, economics, job security. The basics. And i think the political noise is just them arguing back and forth playing to that small percentage of their base, as kevin was saying, that Pay Attention to whats going on here and trying to appease those hungry beasts. The water cooler talk will be for some time, does impeachment work better for the republicans or the democrats . Well be talking about it over the weeks that come. Another development when we look at the legal back and forth here, katty, what happened with regard to Deutsche Bank and capital one. House committees, we understand, two of them, have reached an agreement to hold off enforcing subpoenas for requests for specific documents. Theres the question of why and what the deal may have been to get to that point. We dont know what the back room dealings were, we know what the ultimate results are richard. Thats the agreement to have an expedited appellate process. We know there have been two appeals taken by the trump team, due to exceptionally adverse rulings in the week from two separate judges that slapped down trumps team saying congress has a legitimate purpose in asking for these documents and wanting to do an investigation which congress has the power and ability to successfully do. So this expedited appellate schedule is instead of the time it would normally take to run through an initial appellate brief, answer brief, reply brief and back and forth, its been trunk indicaated the time is sh. So the two sides may have the shortened schedule but the Appellate Court can take its time to do the ruling in whether the trial court has it right or wrong. Just a list of the financial i institutions that face a subpoena from the House Financial Services committee, and the list is not short. This is a lot of information that will be available. And if you are a critic or if you are concerned about President Trump, citizen trump as well, and campaigner donald trump and his dealings with other entities, other countries, whatever the case may be, theres a lot of information here that can be pulled from these specific financial institutions. Theres no secretary that you follow the money and the money can lead you to something revealing sp tell. There was a New York Times article that came out this past week that said that Deutsche Bank, which lent billions of dollars to donald trump and the kushner companies, that there was a failure to report about some of the entities that were having dealings with trump and kushner and the kushner companies. When we get these financial records itll be looking and seeing whats behind these financial curtains for donald trump and answers some questions that have been lingering for everybody, not only the American Public but in congress, which is does donald trump owe something to someone, some company, some entity, some powers that may be, foreign powers specifically, and is that the reason why we see policies coming out of this particular administration. As leader pelosi tries to moderate this activity set, which is to go down these questions of what may have happened in the past and Going Forward what should the democratic side of the house do legislatively, where is she at right now . Some are saying potentially she feels a little bit under the gun because of a broad and diverse caucus that she has. Thats such a great question. I interviewed congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee, a couple days ago, a democrat from texas and a member of the house judiciary committee, what she told me is that she wants to have some type of legislative vehicle that would allow lawmakers to begin looking into the possibility of impeachment proceedings to create an opportunity to have a vacuum or vehicle, so to speak, that would allow a forum for these types of conversations to be had. Now congresswoman lee, is in lock step with Speaker Pelosi, she was praise worthy of Speaker Pelosi, you look at someone like chairwoman maxine water, a democrat representing california, an outspoken member of the progressive caucus, one of the earliest members to call for impeachment, i caught up with her outside of a hearing that she had to duck outs of when Steve Mnuchin was testifying, she said shes going to use all of her power possibly to continue to try to investigate. And republicans they say bring it on. Thanks to all of you for starting us off. Have a good holiday.

Million americans are at risk of Severe Weather including the threat of tornados right now. Near Oklahoma City search and rescue teams are digging through debris after a deadly ef3 tornado struck and left nearly a two mile path of destruction, two were killed and 29 injured. The tornado struck after dark and ripped off the second floor of a hotel and destroyed nearby mobile homes while people were sleeping. Dozens are homeless. People have absolutely lost everything. Youre not going to believe the devastation. Youve seen the pictures of the poor families that were in that trailer house. On the issue of transportation of those people to the hospital, two were basically critical. That season today is the 11th straight day of tornados in the United States. Several u. S. States are passing bills to restrict or even ban abortions. As you just said, youve got best part of half the states in america passing laws like this. Theyre close to outlawing abortion completely if roe v. Wade is overturned. The other have are passing laws opposite, abortion on demand. Theyre saying lets change the view of the debate, bring it back to the people, but in order to do that they need to declare the personhood of the unborn child. Thats what it boils down to. This debate will continue. Currently there are other bills seeking the sixweek abortion policy. Thats from some of the reactions abroad. The intense backlash against the antiabortions Rights Movement thats also grabbing some scrutiny. We have to stop this. When did this become a democrat versus republican issue this is about women and their right to have freedom and justice in the country. One of the effects of the backlash to this bill and others being passed is that women are saying that they had abortions so it is something that is becoming less stigmatized. In alabama they have the death penalty, lax bgun laws. Its not a state i would go to if i thought they preserved the sankty of life. In the uk they said, democracy has been gripped by white men. The commentary, alabamas near to the abortion ban shows the state doesnt give adamn about mothers. Theyre playing the long game, branding themselves to be hip and cool and appeal to young people who crave rebellion and who consider themselves feminists but dont support the killing of babies. Calls to impeachment the president are growing, ill talk to one house member coming up that says they should start that right now. P that says they should start that right now. Considering .
