in the country speak at the national association of latino elected and appointed officials in orlando, governor romney gave a few new details about his overall immigration plan but no specifics what he would do for those children brought here through no fault of their own. >> some people have asked if i will let stand the president's executive order. the answer is that i will put in place my own long term solution that will replace and super seed the president's temporary measure. as president i won't settle for stop gap measures. >> now let's bring in our "news nation" political panel. eugene robinson is associate editor and prize winning columnist for "the washington post" as well as an msnbc analyst. and ramos is an nbc contributor and "usa today" columnist. very different topics, both being addressed by the president and mitt romney here. the president still hitting hard

on this student loan interest rate. obviously it's an important issue in that some of the new numbers show people owe more on student loans than credit card debt. is that still a hot topic >> it's still a big topic, tamron, because as you say the volume of student loans is so huge. and a lot of this new volume is not -- not students as we think of them. they are not 20-year-old students going to college. a lot of people who are older, who are in their 30s or 40s who have gone back to school and who have incurred a lot of student debt. these people vote more often than younger students do, so there's some political power in this issue. >> is it more about showing another example of presenting another example of this very unpopular congress in the president's word standing in the way of helping folks in need right now? >> exactly. it's another of the litany, why

don't they pass a jobs bill, why don't they help us in various ways to stimulate the economy towards growth. and, again, this is going to be a simple thrust of the president's campaign so we're going hear him sound more of these notes as time goes on. >> well, obviously, all ears and eyes were on mitt romney today in florida, the important state. mr. romney started out his remarks by saying there are some people who say that identify not answer this question. let me play what he presented as the non-answer to the question, let's play what mr. romney said. >> hispanics have been hit disproportionately hard while the national unemployment is still above 8% and has been for 40 straight months. hispanic unemployment is at 11%. as president i would reallocate green cards to those seeking to keep their families under one

roof. [ applause ] and will exempt from caps spouses and minor children of legal permanent residents. [ applause ] and will eliminate other forms of bureaucratic red tape that keep families from coming together. as president i will stand for a path to legal status for anyone who is willing to stand up and defend this great nation through military service. [ applause ] ? >> so he talked about the unemployment rate. obviously critical. talked about transformation in the green card process. talked about people who serve in the military, being able to have a path to citizenship. that one is not new. he did not talk about the new deportation policy of the president. >> right. that's what everyone was waiting to hear him weigh in on. i think sometimes with a speech it's as much as what you don't say -- >> in this speech especially a week later. >> people want to know where does he stand on this issue. as far as undocumented people in

the military not people who you can join the military as a path to citizenship. people who are in the military now that are undocumented can earn a path to citizenship. it's nothing new. he may have made a mistake at the beginning, he invoked ronald reagan. ronald reagan is a huge hero in the hispanic community. >> as you well know eugene americans have selective memory when it comes to ronald reagan and amnesty. with that said how would you score mitt romney at this point. how long can you continue and criticize and say this is about politics without an answer to follow and it is legitimate to say all things are about politics. we know the president wants to be re-elected. if you come with a right hook don't you have to come with a left. >> do you. i'm floored right now, tamron -- i thought -- people asked me earlier in the week when will mitt romney answer the question, the basic question, what would you do with this order. do you support this or not.

i've been telling people surely on thursday when he speaks he'll have to answer the question. and i'm just amazed that he managed to make it through the speech without answering the question. i don't see what that gains him. i do see what it loses him or the opportunity that it costs him, which was to begin to make amends with a community that's deeply suspicious of him. >> let's bring in the director of policy and legislative affairs. thank you so much for joining me. >> thanks for having me. >> so let me get your take, first of all, the response from the audience. it was hard for us to gauge not being there what kind of reception the governor received. first let's start there. how would you categorize it or characterize it. >> there were many officials in the audience. they were proud on having governor romney there.

it's a recognition to the power of the community, the size of the community and the relevant role of the latino community will play in 2012. during the speech, indeed, the reaction was sort of mixed. but at the very end there was a huge crowd that wanted to take pictures and shake hands with the governor. again, i think that that is a part of the pride that was sensed in that room to have both candidates attend the conference thursday and then again tomorrow the president will be there. >> absolutely. let me ask you regarding the question that everyone was hoping to hear a specific answer regarding the president's new deportation policy, whether or not mitt romney would follow suit, whether the governor believes it is wrong. do you believe he adequately answered that question? >> in my opinion he did not give sufficient detail as to what he

would donor did he state whether or not he agrees with what the president has done. he did indeed call at it political move. he said that he would replace it with long term solution that would sue per seed it. he did not name or give details as to what that would look like nor did he state -- nor did he contradict statements that he's made in the past with regard to the dream act. >> was it a successful speech in your estimation? >> i think that it was touched on the economy which indeed is priority number one for the community because for like every other community out there, like all individuals we are seeing, you know, a real problem with the economic downturn. in terms of immigration which to me is the issue that gains him the respect of the latino community, to then potentially intake the rest of the message. i think it may have been just a first step. he did not talk about dream and his position on that nor did he

talk about self-deportation which is troublesome. what he said while campaigning in the primaries which is different from what he's starting to do now is that he would be for making sure that documented illegal immigrants feel the hurt both themselves and their entire families of their situation, and of the different positions that the governor will take so that they will self-deport, so that their hurt, the unwanted cruelty of the position will be felt to such a degree that they will leave voluntarily and that's very problematic to us. >> you glenn let me bring you back to that. to max's point. the governor pi strotd tissue of the economy, 11% one employment rate in the latino community. he said several times you deserve better, perhaps a glint of the message he's to speak

before the naacp. seems his message clearly goes to that point you deserve better whether you're latino, black, white, woman or a man here. >> i think that's all well and good. i think it's a very good thing from the romney campaign point of view that he attended the conference, that he went into the lion's den essentially. that's a good thing. i want shows political courage and a willing to stand up in front of people who don't necessarily agree with you. however -- >> does it show courage? when you know you need some of these people, how courageous is that if i know i need a certain percentage of this group to get into office, he knows they are going to throw tomatoes at him. how courageous is it? >> getting to the however, tamron. the however in this case is that he didn't cross -- in my view, he didn't cross the threshold. the threshold for speaking to the latino community is the

immigration issue. not that all latinos agree on illegal immigration, and exactly what to do, although most, i think, do agree on the dream act. but to have the sense that someone who is openly hostile to immigrants, to the point where he's hostile to members of my family, people who live down the street, members of my community, that's a threshold issue in that way and i don't think he got over that threshold this time, and, therefore, i don't think he did himself all that much good. >> raul is nodding yes. >> agree with him because immigration policy is tearing families apart. our economic policies are not. to me the big take away from this speech we'll deal with immigration. it could be a knock on the door at midnight depending on how you look at it. he did show up.

i'll give him that. >> we don't see you enough. it's courageous to come on "news nation." >> tamron, to you i have no titles, i'm just eugene and i'll be back. >> thank you. in the past few hours john boehner denied allegations of a witch-hunt against attorney general eric holder of the fast and furious investigation, a contempt of congress vote against holder is scheduled before a full house next week. >> the house will vote next week on the contempt resolution unless these documents that we're looking for are, in fact, turned over. this is about getting to the truth. >> minority leader nancy pelosi fired back today at her republican colleagues. >> what we have seen is a shameful display of abuse of power by the republicans in the house of representatives. >> and joining me now from washington is congresswoman jackie sphere, a democratic

member of the house oversight and reform committee. let me start off with attorney general holder in denmark answering more questions about what we all witnessed yesterday. let me play his remarks. >> we put before the committee a proposal that would have allowed for the resolution of that matter consistent with the way in which these have been resolved in the past through negotiation. i think the possibility still exists that it can happen in that way. >> congressman cummings said yesterday to chairman issa it didn't have to happen, it didn't have to come to this. what are your feelings today? >> i think that's absolutely the case. this should be and still can be negotiated, and typically that's what happens with contempt resolutions. what's interesting here is there's never been an attorney general that's been held in contempt by the house ever before. this will be a first.

secondly, this is not a contempt proceeding over someone who hasn't come before the house. he's come before the committees nine times. he's presented more than 6700 pages of documents to the committee. what we are talking about is inner office conversations, memos that took place after february 4th when a letter had been sent to senator grassley saying that there had been no knowledge within the ag's office. that letter was rescinded in december of last year. that the ag has been totally forth coming. this is sandbox politics. it's an effort by the republicans to try and move us away from doing what the work is we should be doing. what are we doing about dealing with the students loan problem. what are we doing about creating more jobs. what are we doing about the surface transportation bill that's stuck. what are we doing about getting people back to work and getting them the opportunity to stay in their homes.

none of those issues are being taken care of. >> you and i both know the republican party says listen those things are obviously important but you have an agent brian terry who lost his life. they point to a number in the thousands of people in mexico who have lost their lives and perhaps these guns involved in "fast and furious" could be linked to some of these crimes. and another congressman said you can't ignore this as a partisan game and just today speaker boehner also saying the white house invoking executive privilege is an admission that the white house was involved in this decision and misled congress. >> that's absolutely not true. executive privilege is oftentimes asserted for the executive branch at the administrative level. in fact attorney general casey under the former president, under the republican administration had provided that kind of counsel in terms of being able to assert executive

privilege for various departments under the president. the president had no knowledge about this. the attorney general had no knowledge about this. and if we really are serious about this, if we really care about brian terry's family and wanting to get to the bottom of this you got to ask the question why did the alcohol and tobacco and firearms office within the department of justice never tell anyone above the atf head as to what was going on. that's abuse of power. that's a rogue operation. we got fix that. furthermore all the gun walking it's still going on. it's going on right now. those firearms are getting into the hands of the cartels in mexico because we don't have decent laws on the books for firearms. >> congresswoman sphere, thank so you much. we greatly appreciate it. hope to talk with you soon. anticipation is building until the supreme court rules on two monumental rules. the health care mandate and

arizona immigration policies. the rulings could come as soon as next monday and the court could add more decision days to the calendar. the justices did send out one new hampshire decision on indecent policy. pete williams joins us live with details here and pete at least one headline categorizes a win for fox news and not for the fcc. what happened. >> reporter: not fox news it's fox television. it's a win. the networks claimed the fcc's indecency policies are all over the map and that they violate the broadcasters first amendment rights since there are limitations on what you can say and show on broadcast tv but not on cable or all other sorts of places in the mass media. the supreme court said we agree with you that the fcc's rules are all over the map. they are vague, the fcc said at one point that programs would be deemed indecent and networks could be fined if there were

repeated violations. then they shift their policy and levied fines against fox for two award shows for fleeting expletives against nicole ritchey and cher who in 2002 and 2013 uttered words that i can't even say or shouldn't on cable and then against abc for showing a brief glimpse of a nude woman on an episode of nypd blue. today the supreme court said the rules were vague, they kept changing so much but declined to get to the bigger issue about the indecency ruling themselves having a policy violate broadcasters first amendment reits. >> for another day obviously the decisions on those monumental cases, great anticipation to say the least. >> reporter: so we'll have at least one probably two decision days next week. monday for certain. that's absolutely set. then they will add other days possibly thursday, possibly wednesday, we're still waiting for the big health care decision. the ruling on arizona

immigration. another closely watched case, tamron, about whether it is a crime to lie about receiving a military award or whether that having that law on the books violates a person's right of free expression. >> pete williams thank you very much for the run down. we'll talk with you on monday. still ahead a new report that claims that romney campaign asked florida governor rick scott to down play the economic progress in the state of florida. is this romney's mix that is running at odd s with governors in republican states. >> grabbed my gun and aimed it at him and fired one shot. >> that is george zimmerman talking to police one day after shooting and killing trayvon martin. still ahead, zimmerman explains in his own words what he says happened. this video actually released on the website of his attorneys. plus uncertainty and unrest in

irregularities. the muslim brotherhood candidate had won the vote by a slim margin but his opponent quickly claimed victory as well. the brotherhood said it will hold protests until the results are announced and joining me now the deputy national editor for "time" magazine. this word coming down just minutes ago that the election results would be announced on sunday. do you believe that it will happen that simply given what we've seen since the vote. >> almost everything the military generals have said over the past several months has to be taken with a pinch of salt. it's will be very hard for them to delay on sunday. both the pressure in tahrir square and the pressure from the regions in the neighborhood are very heavy. they need to resolve the situation. there's too much uncertainty in egypt right now. parliament has been dissolved. the presidential election is uncertain. you know, hosni mubarak's health is uncertain.

too much uncertainty. something has to give. >> what type of international pressure are we seeing put on the military in the generals in egypt. >> at the moment it's all quiet telephone conversation. but it need to be more open. the ally, the egyptian allies need to step up and say to the generals that if you try to steal this election, then you are international p irai rmpira. >> speak to be about the suspicion of corruption even down to hosni mubarak's health condition. one minute he's in a coma, barely alive, next he recovered and would be okay in a few days. that just adds to the suspicion and worry that corruption will infiltrate if it has not already the results. >> absolutely. keep in mind the deep state of egypt, the military and the

judges appointed by mubarak, these are people who fixed elections for 30 years. these are people who kept information from the egyptian public for 30 years. so almost everything they do is automatically -- there's an automatic doubt attached to it. there's a suspicion there's something else in the air. as you pointed out the stories about mubarak's health precisely about that paranoia. who is telling the truth. egyptians have learned it's impossible to trust anybody. >> thank you very much. presidential election results are to be announced on sunday. >> from one billionaire to another the ceo of oracle is now the new owner of hawaii's sixth largest island. see what the state's leaders are saying about this deal. and secretary of state hillary clinton had a little fun. that is the secretary of state, why she has this costume or

we are following developing news in the jerry sandusky child sexual abuse trial. the jury now deliberating, 50 charges against sandusky but big story today possibly the reason why sandusky did not take the stand in his own defense.

sources tell nbc news sandusky's adopted son matt seen here arriving in court yesterday was prepared to give damaging testimony about his father if sandusky took the stand. matt sandusky was mentioned during testimony at trial. the man known as victim number four said matt became nervous while they were all showering together after playing racquet ball together and that jerry start ad soap fight with the alleged victim. he said quote at that point matt got up and left. well not got up but turned off the shower, went out and into another shower. joining me live from washington, d.c., kathleen kane former prosecutor. let's start off why matt sandusky if he has this damaging testimony why wouldn't he be called to the stand. >> the judge may have preclude it because it came in too late or uncharged act. the judge may have precluded it

for that reason. nonetheless the fact that matt was there and then left and precluded the defendant from testifying in a sense is really a bombshell and it's very surprising. >> you know, would it be usual or have you ever heard, i should say, of a situation where a deal is made in the sense that some of the reporting was that sandusky wanted to testify, they went to the judge's chambers, matt sandusky's testimony came up and that's when sandusky walked back out and we knew he would not be taking the stand. could a deal be made to keep him off the stand, meaning jerry sandusky? >> legally speak ug can't make that sort of a deal and i'm sure the prosecutors nor the defense or judge would have allowed something like that took cure. in all likelihood what happened is they went behind closed doors to find out whether the defendant would testify or not. the prosecution said as they have to, if he does then we do have a rebuttal witness. this is who it is. this is what he'll be testifying to. then they give the defense the

opportunity toaw weigh their options as to whether sandusky will testify north. all of that will be on the record outside of the hearing of the jury sony appealable issues wouldn't take precedent down the road. >> there only needs one juror to believe jerry sandusky or his wife's testimony where she talked about these alleged victims being clinging and conniving. had matt sandusky testified he would have been the only family member, someone who would have been in the home regularly with jerry sandusky to give what could have been potentially damning testimony. i'm asking you if jerry sandusky is found not guilt which this come back to haunt the prosecution if they have his own adopted son to go against his father. >> it's possible. i'm sure they made a calculated weighting of the evidence. we're not sure what he would say. he may say he heard the boys crying out or something that happened to him. we don't know what he would say.

it's just speculation. if it was they could always bring additional charges if there are new victims or new witnesses who come forward. so, you know, you kind of have to weigh the pros and continues. >> all right. thank you very much. we'll see how the jury returns with a decision in this case. this weekend mitt romney's biggest donors will gather for an exclusive weekend retreat. utah event is being portrayed as a bungler barb. it includes possible contenders for vice president like florida governor jeb bush, former minnesota cover tim pawlenty, condoleezza rice. the romney campaign is trailing president obama in may fundraising totals. senior political editor mark murray joins us. before we talk about the totals and break down a lot of numbers that are baffling. let's talk about this big event or retreat in utah. their goal is to get romney in

the white house. >> the biggest goal is to have a lot of campaign bigwigs, big time donors to rub elbows, to schmooze with romney and his top campaign officials and the person who becomes romney's top presidential pick. this is a donor event in utah in a way to make sure these folks are able to donate big, big money to fund all of mitt romney's ads and grassroots operations through november. >> let's talk about "moneyball" where things stand right now. the president outraised romney in the month of may but that's only part of the story line. >> that's right. so obama out raised romney but the rnc, the republican national committee out raised the democratic national committee and the romney victory fund which is just another committee, presidential candidate can have raised the obama victory found. what's going on here is big time donors and some of these same folks who are going to be in utah can write up to $75,000 in

one check. the first 5,000 goes to the campaign, at least that's the maximum. next 30,000 goes to the political committee and the rest go to the victory found. president obama is doing very well on actually out pacing romney when it comes to donations to the campaign that 5,000 maximum. romney is doing very well with people where he's getting these really big checks and that's what eve seen so far in these first two months where romney has been the presumptive republican nominee. >> let's transition to florida governor rick scott. there's a report in bloomberg news discussing the fact, unnamed sources that members of romney's campaign have come to him saying listen tone down touting the success or the recovery happening in florida. bloomberg says the news says what's unfolding in florida highlights a dilemma for the romney campaign how to allow republican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their state while faulting obama's stewardship of the

national economy. the unemployment rate in florida right now is 8.6% in may 2012. that's down slightly. it's an interesting dilemma if this report is accurate. sources were unnamed. they are saying this is what's going on behind-the-scenes for these republican governors they cannot tout the recovery without giving some credit to the president. >> right p.m. tap ron not just in florida, it's in ohio, michigan, wisconsin. i point out to you that in pla the unemployment rate is at 8.6%. back in 2009 it was at 11%. it's natural for politicians to say high look things are getting better and that's precisely the message that president obama has had. that's not the message for the romney campaign. that's a conundrum and a pickle for these republican governors where things are getting better, not perfectly and romney campaign that want goes against their entire message right now. >> all right. thank you very much, mark. we'll see you tomorrow on

friday. i can't believe it's already friday. thank goodness. coming up the trayvon martin shooting according to george zimmerman. newly released documents by zimmerm zimmerman's attorney who shot and killed the unarmed teenager what happened that night. mitch daniels has been named the next president of purdue university. daniels had been widely mentioned as a possible running mate for mitt romney. he'll start his new job in january when his term as governor is over. daniels has said he'll recuse himself from any partisan politic, political activities or commentary. retiring democratic congressman gary ackerman says people have gotten dumber in the 30 years since he first took office in an interview with bloomberg "business week." ackerman also blamed the media saying they are the reason people can't tell the difference between journalism and entertainment. he added he probably wouldn't say those things if he was not

about to leave office. and secretary of state hillary clinton had some fun at the swearing in of her assistant secretary of public affairs. she noticed his whole family wearing purple. >> have pant suits in nearly every color.
