welcome to inside politics. i m john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. closer, but to a deal or to a default. kevin mccarthy herds a bill through the house. it s guaranteed to go nowhere in the united states senate and far from certain to break the white house s negotiating promise. plus, ament here because donald trump raped me. e..en jean carroll is back on the witness stand after detailing an attack by the former president nearly two decades ago in a dressing room. and the mouse strikes back. disney makes ron desantis a defendant as the governor finds the polling gap between him and trump getting wider. up up first, a cross roads moment for president biden and house republicans. today a new number says the country is growing more slowly. but not as to dive into a recession. 12.1%, that s how fast the economy expanded in the first quarter. it falls off as you see the breakneck pace from the end of 2022. but the good from the report is very go
so a stair down for a short period of time. then we ll see someone will blink. a bigger event today and last night. the president of south korea just wrapping up an address to a joint session of congress. that a very formal event. last night, he let his hair down at the state dinner. and a cherished member of our family. . that here at the table and her mother here in the studio with us today. that s president biden as part of that setting up the south korean president for a grand finale. we know this is one of your favorite songs american pie .
china. and i actually think that this could be a contagion that spreads throughout china. there are big protests in the prorches, pretty violent. i m sure people in beijing are worrying about the contagion effect. pete: what ask china s next move in hong kong then? really has no next moves in a sense. what it should do is make political concessions but it won t do that for various reasons because of xi jinping the chinese rural s position in beijing. right now beijing is taking a really hard line in hong kong. that s fueling the protests. they have gone on now for more that are five straight months. the reason is every time there is fatigue, every time you think the protests might end, beijing will do something that will inflame people there and so, essentially, china is doing all the wrong things. pete: china is doing the wrong things, their economy is being hit hard. we are in a stair down with stah them on trade. how does this effect what we do with trade on china. most personal
talk about a stair down. i m going to add that i love you called her liz. i just don t see the idea that he s back. i don t see how that s possible. as we were talking, he just had a heart attack. that weighs on people. i thought it was hard to work in the u.s. government. let alone if i had just had a heart attack. i just don t know if he can catch up. it is a stair down between the two of them. elizabeth warren is gaining steam. this issue of medicare and she s not explaining how she ll fund that. that will hurt her but she can rectify that. she has a lot of time to figure out how she s going to talk to the american people about that.
hand sanders. it is a good day for him. i m happy for him. but i know there is only one person who can win the elizabeth warren/bernie sanders stair down. some are like hey, we have billions. we shouldn t be scared of the president. other ones are like, i m moving to the secret island i purchased off the coast of new zealand. you know elizabeth has this momentum that bernie is not necessarily showing in the polls. i think we ll see it in his area like new hampshire. that s also her territory. she s from massachusetts.
