This week's conversation with the Political Junkie starts overseas, where President Obama is normalizing relations with Vietnam and making a historic visit to Hiroshima, Japan.

MPR News reporter Marianne Combs also talks with Ken Rudin about new polls that show a dead heat between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and why the rights of transgender people are suddenly the focus of so much political debate.
