CUOMO: There is a lot of intrigue going on, especially with this CIA slip. So lets get to "Inside Politics" on NEW DAY with Mr. John King. I hope your memorial day was memory filled.</s>JOHN KING, CNN HOST: I was here yesterday. I missed you guys, but I'm glad you are back in the saddle on Tuesday. There's a lot to talk about. With me this morning to share their reporting and insights Margaret Talev of Bloomberg News, Jonathan Martin of "The New York Times." Let's start in a way we have never started on our morning segment of "Inside Politics" with Michelle Obama. She will be out today doing an event on healthy school lunches. Most of you are probably saying so what, she talks about that a lot. But she has a fight right now with Congress. House Republican's are trying to undermine the nutrition standards she helped to get passed a few years back. They want, Margaret, to allow a waiver. If a school district out there thinks this is too costly or to burdensome they can opt out. It's not often that she directly, and publicly, pushes policy. What are we watching for?</s>MARGARET TALEV, BLOOMBERG NEWS CORRESPONDENT: On two levels. Number one we're watching to find out who prevails in this. But number two, of course we're watching to find out how publicly she will put herself out there and take on Congress. The minute you start putting waivers into legislation, it's the undermining of the bill and the slippery slope. This has been the narrative with Obamacare now for months. Now they're going after something, maybe the only thing, that's really near and dear to her.</s>KING: Does this have to be a fight? You get from some of the critics, Jonathan, this is big brother, why is Washington telling kids what they can and cannot eat. Her argument is, look at the obesity statistics, look at type ii diabetes statistics. We need to do what we can. You know, 97,000 public schools in this country, this is a way to directly impact health.
