Deserves the nobel peace prize. Ronny jackson is still on the job in the west wing. After losing his chance to be va secretary, is he also out as the president s personal physician . The president talks tough as a caravan of immigrants arrives at the u. S. Mexico border. Is he about to allow the increase of a number of people in to help the American Farmers . We need people to come into the country, do their jobs, help people on their farms and then they get out, they leave. Guest workers. Dont you agree . We have to have them. We have to have them. Were going to have a lot of things happening, but then they have to go out. Then they have to go out. But were going to let them in because you need em. You need em. More on the president s curious guest worker comments there in just a moment. But we begin today with another immigration challenge, a standoff now at the southwestern border. Customers of Border Protection insisti insisting, were already here at full capacity in the United States and nobody gets special treatment or special protections, even, especially, anyone claiming to be part of a socalled caravan. A mess is President Trumps term of art for the migrants after traveling a month in southern mexico, often on foot, are now on americas doorstep. They can see across the border to tijuanas doorstep. On average 25,000 people cro00 daily. Just two years a only 12 of worldwide applicants were granted asylum in the United States. Thats just 20,000 people under a very different administration. Even so, these individuals say theyll wait until each and every one of them is allowed in for processing. Leyla santiago gives us an update from tijuana. This group behind me, about 100 migrants from that caravan, many from central america, many saying theyre fleeing violence and poverty with different stories of threats on their lives or their childrens lives. They are now at the u. S. Mexico border. This is what they have been going toward when they go north on this journey. An annual march with religious roots that has become controversial given President Trumps tweets early on in their journey. They are here to seek asylum under u. S. Federal law, this is the way to do it through a port of entry. But this group has arrived here and has tents as well as tarps. Then closer to the door, they are there, a Smaller Group of about 20 to 30 women asking for the same thing. They were stopped by a u. S. Official who said we do not have the capacity at this hour to process asylum claims. So i watch as together they said, in unity, we wait. They are willing, in this last stretch of their journey, to wait out here in the cold, in the dark with hungry children, to be able to get in that door and seek asai luck. How long theyll wait is the uncertainty for them. Leyla santiago, cnn, tijuana, new mexico. Well keep in touch with leyla as we watch this play out. Julie davis of the times. You see the pictures. Some will see them and have compassion, say, look at the children, look at the women. At least hear them out. Hear them out about the problems they have back home and see if they should be granted asylum. Others will say, strong border, stand up. The president calls it a mess, he calls it a disgrace. Hes thankful the Mexican Government is now helping. Were in the middle of an Election Year as we watch this play out. This was Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell on capitol hill. Some tried to ask him his thoughts on this. Thank you, everyone. Im sorry . The Migrant Caravan that were seeing at the southern border, what we have to do there . I think ill just stick with the subject today. Thank you. Why not . Well, its a difficult issue. Mitch mcconnell, for one, for a long time has been very careful about the immigration issue. While hes voted alongside the hardliners in his party, he knows that espousing this hard line rhetoric is not especially helpful, especially to the guys who are in the senate races, with hispanic voters, and one of the incumbents is up for reelection. Someone who has been more supportive of a moderate immigration is the president. The president wants to fire up his base and think he can help them politically, but not everyone in this party is willing to take such a hard line on this issue which is what mcconnell is doing. This is the nigerian president arriving at the white house. The president greeting him on the west wing there. The two will head inside. We should get some comments from the president of nigeria and the president of the United States in a few moments. Well continue when they get there. Im sorry, please continue. The talk about caravan is such a res anatoonant image tha paints in peoples minds, and this is a president that is gifted in images and politics. Weve seen him moved on images of children before, especially in syria. When these images are being played over and over again on tv, theres children on the border staying overnight, waiting and waiting, and it will be interesting to see if he has a similar reaction and how that will impact his view on military intervention in the middle east. For now his view is its an assault on u. S. Sovereignty, that these people are literally coming to the border thinking they can get across. Listen to him saturday night in michigan. First he called the caravan a mess, saying its a disgrace. He said its weak democratic laws. Theres a process for applying to asylum. But the president was at a political rally. Dont expect everything to connect, shall we say. Then he says, im going to get my wall, im coming back for more money on my wall, and if i dont get it, im willing to shut down the government. We need security, we need the wall, were going to have it all. We come up again on september 28, and if we dont get border security, well have no choice. Well close down the country. Because we need border security. This is part of the great debate were going to be talking about six months from the midterms tomorrow. Mitch mcconnell says this is not what you should be talking about. You should be talking about the economy and taxes. Back when this happened last time, 30 supported the border for immigration. There was a new poll that came out and it said 40 to 50 supported putting the National Guard on the border, but 70 supported keeping Daca Recipients in the country and letting them have a path wway t citizenship. So its not a simple issue in terms of how americans feel about it. That may certainly rile up the base. Midterm elections are also complicated. It depends where you are. It could turn people away. And i was watching the president on saturday night. This is the president of the United States in the middle of a speech in which he calls the caravan a mess, says those migrants must be stopped. Says hes willing to shut down the government if he doesnt get his border wall funded, and then this, a much more open approach to guest workers. To the farmers, okay, its going to get good, and were going to let your guest workers come in, because were going to have strong borders but we have to have your workers come in. The unemployment picture is so good, its so strong that we have to let people come in. Theyre going to be guest workers. Theyre going to come in, theyll work on your farms, well have the worker bees come in, but then they have to get out. In the spending bill, they stuck in language that allows the administration to roughly double the amount of guest workers allowed in. This language also existed last year. They allowed only a tiny number of guest workers in, angering the farm community, angering the chamber of commerce. Does the president know something we dont know . There is a lot of pressure from the business groups saying, please let these workers in. We need them. Has the president already approved it or was that something to see if there was applause or not . This was a very freewheeling vintage sort of trump rally speech where he was going from topic to topic and it was pretty strong rhetoric. At that point he looked down at his paper and you can almost imagine guest worker is written there. I do believe the white house wants to debate immigration going into the midterms. I dont believe people on capitol hill, Mitch Mcconnell or his colleagues, want to do that, but this is one way they could jump start a debate on immigration and try to get in all of these changes to asylum policy and all the other borderspecific policies that dont have to do with people coming to work on farms but have to do with what do you do with people who show up and either claim asylum or who cross the border illegally and are here, and what do you do with them. I think he is trying to generate a sense that this is not all about animous, this is not abou keeping people out, this is about doing whats right. I do believe there has been a hard line on tariffs, and the hard line on tariffs is going to make the farmers start to react on that. They were furious when it was put in. Is the president willing to pick that fight with his base. Even though he says give me my wall money, is he willing to be probusiness . The Republican Leaders in Congress Absolutely do not want a big shutdown fight over immigration weeks before the election. Will the president relent and how will his base react . There is a little bit of this for the farmers. This also allows him to talk about the economy. The economy is doing so well that we need more workers. Skpaz jew and as julie mentioned, were also talking about fisheries, ski resorts and Trump Properties. I was going to say, what about the Trump Properties . I wouldnt rule out the president backtracking, because if he doesnt like a policy, lets say daca, he will absolutely backtrack and go back to his hard line stance. I took it clearly as im going to say this publicly, see what happens, see how i feel about it, see where we go from there. Up next, the president floats a positive essential ste big meeting with kim jongun and asks his fellow tweeters. Where do you think it should be . Welcome back. President trump today suggesting koreas demilitarization zone is the best site for his meeting with kim jongun. And the right is saying the president now deserves a nobel peace prize. Mongolia is also on the short list, but the president says he wants to meet where south korea president , moon jaein, met with kim jongun. Would peace House Freedom house, on the border of north and south korea, be a more representative, important and lasting site than a third Party Country . Just asking. Weve all been called a number of things. Naive is not usually one of them. I think the president sees the potential here for a historic agreement. But as he says repeatedly, the potential for no deal at all is also there. This administration has its eyes wide open. We know the history, we know the risks. Were not going to take promises. Were not going to take words. Were going to look for actions and deeds. Its a fascinating moment and you have the president s new team, new secretary of state, new National Security adviser, who presumably say this will take place in three or four weeks. Its not scheduled yet. You have to test it, right . It will be interesting to hear them say what theyre not starryeyed about and what lessons theyve learned from past attempts. Because what weve heard from the president on here is mostly criticism. He doesnt want to hear whats failed before, advice from people who have done this before, and its not clear what lessons theyre really bringing away from it. As for the site, it would be amazing to have this meeting at the border. Our reporting has shown, the washington journal has shown, singapore, and also geneva was in talks there. It seems like its closer to singapore these days, but i guess we have to watch trumps twitter, because thats where all the news on north korea and these discussions will come from from the president. It seems like his advisers, from what i understand, are pretty much against having it in the Demilitarized Zone just because it would be trump showing up at kim jonguns doorstep, and it would really be seen as a gesture in that way. Apart from the president himself, theres not a ton of support in the white house for doing it. Hes president , theyre not. Exactly. Thats where he wants to have it, and if he can get the agreement of the North Koreans, thats where it will be. Theres also the issue of what happened when kim jongun just met a few days ago, and he basically pulled him over to the north side. That would be an awkward moment, to have an american president standing in north korea. But again, if thats what he wants to do, thats what hell do. I think that the bar here, though, is pretty high, and thats part of the reason youre hearing john bolton and mike pompeo talk about not being starryeyed and not being naive. For them to get somewhere with the North Koreans in these talks, if they would be able to say beyond what other american president s have been able to push this issue, is as good or better than the Nuclear Program of syria, i think that would be a pretty high bar to clear. Is this deal going to be different than, say, the iran deal. The president has criticized the iran deal as giving the incentives up front and then hope they would take steps to loosen their Nuclear Program afterwards. The administration has not ruled this out as a possibility with north korea, saying pompeo was asked point blank yesterday whether the administration would be open to allowing north korea to easing some of the sanctions on north korea before seeing some of these concrete steps taken. Will they ultimately insist on some of those concrete steps before easing those sapnctions . We dont know that yet. Everything is looking at, what do we base this on . They talk about what happened in libya with gadhafi was still in power. Were looking at what north korea committed to previously, and most importantly, going back over a quarter century to the joint south and north denuclearization agreement. I said, wait a minute, gadhafi is dead. Gadhafi lost power and it did not end well. Blakely says i heard directly from the chinese that the libya model did not inspire confidence in pyongyang. I would be very concerned that the combination of libya and then trump tearing up the iran agreement sends exactly the wrong message to kim jongun and undermines whatever hope exists for negotiations. The president s latest approach, fire and fury. Is kim going to sign a piece of paper with you if he thinks that once you do something he doesnt like youre going to rip it up . We reported on talks between pompeo and kim jongun that that was basically the message along the lines of the libya approach. Im not saying pompeo used those words, but the words he did eyes, he wants a big bang in this agreement, some major changes up front. Meanwhile, kim jongun is looking for a more phasedin approach. It will be interesting to see what here gets negotiated ahead of time. You mentioned trump seems to have a lot of leverage in this negotiation with the maximum pressure. Youre right, john. If trump tears up the iran deal or walks away from it ahead of this, before the deadline, whats to stop kim from saying, look, trump doesnt stand with his agreements, because he may rip up our agreement. You have two leaders who tend to Say Something and walk away from it. Its very hard to trust that when you say were going to shut down the nuclear site and then end up not doing it, and then they can point to what trump does with the iran deal. There is that factor as well. To your point about people pushing for clarity, what do they mean about denuclearization, are they willing to give up sanctions up front . It will get them thinking about a deal, any deal. Well see how this one plays out. When we come back tomorrow, tuesday, six months from now for the midterm elections. Is the president a plus for his own party . Does your Business Internet provider promise a lot . Lets see who delivers more. Comcast business gives you gigspeed in more places. The others dont. We offer up to 6 hours of 4g Wireless Network backup. Everyone else, no way. We let calls from any of your devices come from your business number. Them, not so much. We let you keep an eye on your business from anywhere. The others . Nope get internet on our gigspeed network and add voice and tv for 34. 90 more per month. Call or go on line today. But he hasoke up wwork to do. In. So he took aleve. If hed taken tylenol, hed be stopping for more pills right now. Only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. Aleve. All day strong. In six months its a midterm Election Year. If the president s party is up, its a go. If hes down, he get hammered. See president bush, president george w. Bush, president obama. Where they stood six months and where they ended up in november. President clinton went down, president bush went down just a little bit. President obama down. It is 2010 and advisers said you should study. President obama down to 45 by november, and the president lost 63 seats in the house. Can he go up . Thats what republicans would hope but history tells you it doesnt happen. Those six months the president stayed pretty static. President trump, though, they could define in history. When you win the presidency, the person that wins, the party that wins, does poorly. They should take it easy, right . Something happens. I guess its 93 or 94 of the time. This is over a long time. You know what it is . You get complacent. We cannot be complacent. We have to go out, right . We got to go out we got to go out and we got to fight like hell and we got to win the house and we got to win the senate, and i think were going to do great in the senate, and i think were going to do great in the house because the economy is so good. Its fascinating to watch, and anyone who says, oh, hes wrong, has to remember 2016 when everybody said he wouldnt run, everybody said he wouldnt win the republican primaries and everybody said he wouldnt be president of the United States. Now so far, 2017 and 2018 tends to fall back to the original marks. But the president on the road, his own adviser is telling him youll probably lose the house. The senate is in peril. He says no way. Absolutely, and he says that in private with his advisers. They will tell him, these are the numbers, heres the history, and heres whats happening right now and it doesnt look good for republicans, and it doesnt look good in part because of your own numbers. And he says, thats not going to happen. He will say that he doesnt buy it. Now, what you hear there, though, is a message to voters and to his supporters in particular. Its almost like remember Barack Obamas pookie get off the couch argument. Its like dont think we have this in the bag, people have to go out and vote. Will his message be relatable to other republican races and thats the key. It wasnt for obama. In his case, all his supporters hate paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell. Candidates matter. You cant get a candidate in some of these states and so far right theyre not able to carry the message. Thats what theyre worried about in a couple different states. Like obama, its really interesting. Trumps popularity with his base doesnt seem to attach to those candidates. Also, it really does matter what happens in the next couple months. If voters are discouraged with what republicans are doing whether or not the economy is good, well have to see if theyre going to head to the polls. The situation is dire for republicans. There are 23 seats they need to take back the majority. Roughly two dozen are in the district. The poll numbers are not good and the Enthusiasm Gap in the Democratic Base is ultimate in the election. The president is trying to energize the base. Maybe the economy will help. Who knows what it will be like in six months. I just looked at numbers on nancy pelosi on the democratic side. People keep saying she should go. She just raised 16 million for democrats in the last quarter and since march 18, has raised 7 million. She is by far their best fundraiser. The president will be part of this, do we have to make a decision on the republican side, focus on the senate because the house is gone . Pour more money in the house, we think we can save it. This is to fred barnes in the weekly standard. A tax bill will be delivered just as soon as this political wind shifts. But theres not much any future administration can do to revisit a 48yearold strict constructional put on the Circuit Court for a lifetime. Thats really all Mitch Mcconnell is doing right now is getting judges confirmed. Thats what does energize the republican base. You have to remind them what theyre doing. The president needs to stay on message and push them. We dont hear that much from the president , but that is clearly the message mcconnell wants to push sbheading into the electio year. The president does have more of a map on the senate side. To your point, that might be money more well spent. And to that point, when we come back, well continue a version of this conversation. The president goes after a senator who helped torpedo his last cabinet pick. That would be don tester of montana. Were on the ground there. Well hear from some voters. Im not a bigwig. Or a canythingo. But ive got an idea sir. Get domo. Itll connect us to everything thats going on in the company. Get it for jean whos always cold. For the sales team, it and the warehouse crew. Give us the data we need. In one place, anywhere we need it. Help us do our jobs better. With domo we can run this place together. Well thats thats your job i guess. So allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. If you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, Little Things can be a big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not an injection or a cream.

The small tree brought over from the world war i battlefield, gone. The french Ambassador Says its simply a routine agricultural quarantine and will be replanted after its inspected. More fallout following the scandal of dr. Ronny jackson who withdrew his nomination for secretary of veteran affairs last week after a string of accusations. He said he wont return to his job as the president s personal physician, although hes still in active duty and working in the west wing. The with the says the one who leveled the accusations against jackson should resign. He is in the home state to see if they agreed. When the president says he should resign, he has no information on him he could release, how does that sound to you . Ill stand by tester all the way. Hes the only farm senator, one of 100. Thats important when we have issues. There is a small percentage. I dont know if this is enough to help senator tester. As you note on the ground in montana, hell have a full report on what hes finding out there tonight on erin burnett outfront. The president says hes got dirt on tester. If he wanted him out, he could. Hes saying he should resign. He thinks he should circle montana on the map. He wants to go there. Singling out tester should mean should be resolved. I think its an Interesting Development here because don tester was not one of the five red state republicans. He went to the top of the target list. Maybe hes not now as much because trump has such a personal animosity to him and is directing his ire towards him. Maybe that will change the contents of that race. Well ultimately see. Veterans, too, were concerned about Ronny Jackson. It doesnt change the conversation of what is an abysmal failure at the white house, even if all this stuff on Ronny Jackson is true. They should have known up front that this existed. Thats how you protect your nominees. They did not do that. Well see if this issue matters enough to montanans to really hinge their vote on whether senator tester led the charge or whether it was a bipartisan charge or whether the charge was true or they werent true. Its a little difficult to imagine that people who had voted for tester and had voted for trump, im sure some group of people like that would change their mind about the senator just based on this one episode. It also depends whether the president keeps up the drumbeat on this. There are a lot of problems that trump doesnt have credibility and going on an attack against him means you can jeopardize your own credibility as well.

It was deadline day for President Trump on a very big economic question. Youll likely remember those big new tariffs on steel and aluminum announced back in february. The president then put tariffs on countries like brazil, argentina and south korea. Exemptions for all but south korea expire at midnight. They have made direct appeals to the president in recent days, but it doesnt sound like hes ready to bend, especially when it comes to americas friends in europe. The european union, which has tremendous blocks, its very hard for us to sell stuff into the european union. It was put there to take advantage of the United States, okay . It sounds so nice. The european union. You know why, they literally did like i said, they formed to take advantage of the United States. It doesnt sound like a president who is willing to take the advice of a lot of probusiness forces here in the United States, a lot of his own republican establishment and direct appeals from chancellor merkel last week and around the world as well. It doesnt sound like hes going to back off. Any reporting . It was a struggle for him to get to this point in the first place. He had to fight his own white house and now he has to deal with allies on this tariff issue. The reporting i have is this is a decision thats due by midnight tonight and i wouldnt be surprised if we dont hear about this until midnight tonight. You mentioned merkel and macron were in town. They talked about the tariffs, talked about what you would do tonight, talked about the Iran Nuclear Deal due midmay. The north korea summit has to be decided here pretty soon. There is a lot of stuff and the president s team is on the way to china to talk about similar trade issues and china says its not interested. An already understaffed white house. Its a major issue. So when you get into these trade assumptions, getting around to brazil, which happened to be the second largest steel imports to the United States, tariff start to fall down on a list of priorities, and it seems like the white house is really under water on this and i wouldnt expect anything until later today. I think there is talk that there is a possibility, at least, of canada and mexico who are in the throes of renegotiating nafta could get an extension of a carveout. There has been a lot of friction with the europeans. The white house wanted them to accept some export yoquotas. They said well give you an exemption if you limit your exports and the europeans did not want to do that, and theyre not going to do that, and i think the president really wants these tariffs on. I dont think anybody has given him a reason he finds satisfactory to give them an exemption, so well have to see what happens. And the europeans are threatening to put tariffs on motorcycles, tobacco, motorboats and other things if the president doesnt back off here. If you listened to the president saturday night, hes essentially saying, i know youre mad at me, meaning farm state america, but the president says its worth it. There may be a little pain for a little while, but ultimately for my farmers i love my farmers. Theyre great patriots. Because its short term, you may have to take some problems. Long term, youre going to be so happy. Youre going to be so happy. Were going to get it opened up or were not doing business with these other countries, right . Its a risky bet hes making. He absolutely is. To suggest farmers will be okay taking a financial hit because of some vague promise in the future . This is why farm state republican lawmakers have been furiously lobbying this administration to back off the tariff plan. The president has suggested some openness to that in these private meetings. He says he may go back into the tpp. But nevertheless, if he goes forward to it hell probably get some backlash. If you were paying attention this weekend, the president says he believes the white house Correspondents Dinner is now dead. He skipped it twice. Whats going to happen next year .

Any minute now were about to hear what the israeli team said about the iran Nuclear Agreement. Another debate here in washington, President Trump declaring victory in his selfstyled war with the white house correspondents association, calling it, among other things, its dinner, a total embarrassment, total disaster. Big boring bust. He also believes he thinks the dinner is dead as we know it. A conservative married to one of President Trumps senior advisers, they walked out during a routine considering it an a bra brasive attack. It makes me wonder if this dinner serves a purpose or not. Part of his brand are liberal elites who dont understand america. The comedians remarks teed it up and the president is using it. I was there. I didnt think it was very funny, but some of the comedi reporter. It does open up washington journalists for tit for tat. Margaret talon on the show gave a beautiful speech. It was professional journalism and that should have been a focus. If you cover the white house, it was antagonistic, especially where the president is constantly attacking you and his people dont often tell the truth. The remarks went way over the line. Margaret is a friend, shes a great leader of the association. She said the program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to free speech while honoring civility, great reporting. She went on to say that michelle wolfs mon monologue was not in the spirit of the dinner. The comedian bombed. A few jokes were not that anyone, and i think thats really the broad takeaway. Not everyone enjoyed the comedian in the room. I was there, too. It is a fun night, and i think it would be a mistake to make any big, broad pronouncements about the dinner itself or the evening because of a comment. It was insensitive, but at the same time it was celebrating the first amendment. She said what she believed, and a lot of people disagreed. The dinner celebrates the first amendment, yet should the association say, look, were trying to be respectful, so be funny but find a line. People would debate where the line is. Its an interesting topic going forward. The first time the cameras were allowed in the room since 1993 in the bill clinton presidency. Thank you for joining inside politics. You can catch us on apple. Wolf blitzer picks up our coverage right now. Hello, im wolf blitzer in washington. Thanks very much for joining us. We have breaking news were following any moment now. Were going to be hearing directly from the Prime Minister of israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Hes expected to announce what his aides are describing as a Significant Development on that Nuclear Agreement with iran that was worked out back in 2015. This comes amid rising tensions between israel and iran. Also amidst the latest developments involving President Trump. He has to decide if he will pull the United States out of the Iran Nuclear Deal. He has until may 12 to make a final decision. But now the iranian president seemingly flipping the script a bit, saying even if President Trump recertifies the agreement, the u. S. Would be in violation for all of the negative comments its made about the deal. Cnns orren lieberman is standing by live in jerusalem. We understand the Prime Minister will be making the statement from the israel against ministry in tel aviv. Reporter thats where our security Cabinet Meeting ended just a short time ago, which is an indication of how significant the situation is, where the tensions are, which is to say very high here and where Benjamin Netanyahu is focusing his target here, which is on iran. His aides, as you pointed out, have said this is a Significant Development in the Iran Nuclear Deal. Netanyahu has never hid his contempt for the deal, so this likely one more reason netanyahu giving President Donald Trump to leave the iran deal. Netanyahu has always said, fix it or nix it. Now with less than two weeks ago, hes making a very concerted lobbying effort against the Iran Nuclear Deal as trump in the white house has yet to make a decision. Wolf, i think its fair to say at this point netanyahu will take at least one more shot he has two more weeks after this against the Iran Nuclear Deal. Its important to point out the meetings between the u. S. And israel around this. In the last couple weeks, the head of u. S. Central command was here. Netanyahu and mr. Trump talked on the phone. The defense minister is in the u. S. Where he met the u. S. Secretary of defense and the National Security adviser. Both of these governments are very much on the same page when it comes to iran. Now well wait to see what netanyahu comes out with as he continues lobbying against the Iran Nuclear Deal, not only to trump who is seen as his most open ear but also to the european leaders and to the other cigsignators of the deal
