show, you shouldn't do what daniel silva did and say you only watch a couple minutes in the morning. three hours or nothing. >> you've got to keep doing it. >> my day of being a princess is over. i'm going to go return this address to adrien now. it was fun, it was fun. >> it's if way too early, it is "morning joe." stick around. chuck todd is back. the trial is over and it is time to figure out what's happening in washington, d.c. right now. a personal perspective. attorney general holder tells naacp leaders action in the form of the zimmerman verdict will likely result in a review of stand your ground statutes. president putin's infamous airport guest prompts one top u.s. senator float the idea of the u.s. boycotting the olympics in russia. plus, a shootout shaping up for

the gop as former vice president's dick cheney's daughter, liz cheney, officially announces a bid to oust wyoming republican senator mike enzi. reaction from the man who will talk about the winner. a lot to get to today. including creators of drunk history. more on that. my first reads the morning. today, the senate judiciary committee holds the first congressional hearing on the voting rights act to review the impact of the supreme court's decision last month to strike down the coverage formula under the law. among the witnesses, georgia congressman john lewis who still has the pen president lyndon johnson used to sign the act into law. and has said the decision put a, quote, dagger in the heart of voting rights in this country. also, republican congressman jim sensenbrenner who chaired the committee when they last

reauthorized the voting rights fact 2006. tuesday attorney general holder told the naacp convention in orlando that the u.s. has rare and historic opportunity to pass legislation strengthening modern voting protections. >> this was a deeply disappointing and flawed decision. congress must take steps to ensure that every eligible american has equal access to the polls. >> holder also announced for the first time he's directed the doj's civil rights division to shift resources to the voting acts provisions that were not affected by the supreme court ruling including section two which prohibits voting discrimination. holder, who has been pressed by some civil rights grouped, including the naacp, to file civil rights charges against george zimmerman in the wake of his acquittal, signaled in a speech that is unlikely. instead, suggesting the verdict should be followed by a broader effort and new legislation.

whether it's new gun laws or an effort to repeal stand your ground-type laws. >> it's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and so dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods. we must stand our ground to ensure -- [ applause ] -- to ensure that our laws reduce violence and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent. >> holder's speech was personal. he evoked his sister-in-law who walked past alabama governor george wallace in 1963. he recalled experiences of being stopped by law enforcement after dark when he was a federal prosecutor. and he talked about conversations with his own son. >> trayvon's death last spring caused me to sit down to have a conversation with my own 15-year-old son. like my dad did with me. as a father who loves his son,

and who is more knowing in the ways of the world, i had to do this to protect my boy. >> it's worth noting that since president obama took office, it's been eric holder who has been less afraid to talk about racial issues in this country. more so than the president. meanwhile, in president, hillary clinton told a crowd of 14,000 largely african-american women that sisterhood will be a force for justice in the wake of the zimmerman verdict. >> my prayers are with the martin family. and with every family who loves someone who is lost to violence. no mother, no father, should ever have to fear for their child walking down a street in the united states of america. >> and secretary clinton said the future of the voting rights act is in real jeopardy if congress does not act. >> the idea that in the 21st century african-americans would

wait in line to vote for ten hours while whites in an affluent precinct next door waited just ten minutes, or that african-americans would receive flyers telling them the wrong time and day to exercise their constitutional rights, that is not the america we expect. and unless congress acts, you know and i know more obstacles are on their way. >> boy, if you weren't sure, she was at least putting together the beginnings of a presidential bid, you could hear it there in those speeches. a topic, for instance, we have not heard her discuss since she has become secretary of state. moving on, the president is quiet since returning to africa, for fewer putti infewer putting it publicly. he reached out to an audience

the white house believes he can talk to effectively, spanish language tv viewers. giving interviews to tv anchors for either univision or tell mondayo. the liabilities of this time approach were on display as well as its advantages. the president couldn't resist when he was asked why it is struggling in the house. >> the house has been struggling with a lot of legislation lately. you have i think some in the house who believe that immigration will encourage further demographic changes and that may not be good for them politically. if we can see some leadership from members of the republican party, some of whom i disagree with on a lot of issues, you know, but who do seem to recognition this is the right thing to do for the country, then eventually we'll get something passed out of the house.

>> the president also cautioned the house against passing a bill in pieces or with anything short of a full path to eventual citizenship. >> the danger of doing it in pieces is that a lot of groups want different things. and, you know, there's a tendency i think to put off the hard stuff till the end. and if you've eaten your dessert before you've eaten your meal, at least with my children, sometime, they don't end up eating their vegetables. we need to i think do this as a complete package. >> so border security is the dessert in that analogy? anyway, these put the serious problem with spanish language media on display. he wrote a column this week entitled how to lose the white house in 2016. this is their chief anchor. sometimes it seems that congressional republicans -- this is a translation, by the

way. -- a plan devised by their worst enemy, to attack and insult the fastest growing political group in the country, hispanics. sometimes it seems that some of them have a particular preference for sounding anti-immigrant and prejudiced. ramos asked this question, does boehner really want to be the new villain of the hispanic community, replacing the hated sheriff? does he want to be part of the notorious anti-immigrant group? we'll see. you got to look at this very carefully. whether all republican strategists are ready to admit this or not, the immigration debate in the house has been damaging to the republican brand particularly among people that view spanish language television. while many conservatives have convinced themselves there's no real political penalty to killing the senate compromise, there's something similar as far as 2014 is concerned. the long-term impact it can have. ramos' warning shot is something that shouldn't be ignored and simply seen through the prism of

the biased media. liz cheney's announcement tuesday she will challenge wyoming senator mike enzi in a republican primary next year assures two things. the wyoming race will be one of the most-watched primaries of 2014 and it has every chance of becoming a potential bloodbath. >> i'm running because i believe it is necessary for a new generation of leaders to step up to the plate. i'm running because i know as a mother and as a patriot we can no longer afford simply to go along to get along. we can't continue business as usual in washington. >> it's interesting there, liz cheney trying to put an establishment car on a tea party track if you will. she made it clear she will highlight the same generational device that indiana senator richard murdoch, the senate senator at the time, used successfully to oust lugar. he ended up losing that election. it's clearly she's interested in

an ideological fight. >> president obama has launched a war on our second amendment rights. he's launched a war on our religious freedom. he's used the irs to launch a war on our freedom of speech. he effectively diminished our strength abroad. there's no longer a question about whether this was his intent. >> if this race is about ideology, cheney probably wins. if it's about wyoming, maybe it's advantage enzi. it's something she knows. the introduction video played up the family name. her highly produced website calls cheney, who spent her entire adult life in virginia, a quote, fourth generation wyomingite. when she was 11, she first campaigned across wyoming with her family. >> we are blessed by our heritage in wyoming. people like my great grandfathers who came as ranch hands. people like my grandmother who

was raised in the salt creek oil fields and was the first female deputy sheriff. >> her first mistake may have been moving her family to jackson, a resort town. basically unwyoming to the rest of wyoming. senator enzi, a friend of former vice president dick cheney, weighed in yesterday on his new challenger. >> well, she said that if i ran, she wasn't going to run, but obviously that wasn't correct. >> what's your relationship with her? >> i thought we were friends. >> here's what you need to know. cheney's going to have a lot of national money but she won't have the republican establishment per se. they plan to back enzi in this race. by the way, cheney holds two press conferences today. one at casper at noon and another at cheyenne at 5:00. this is going to be a fun one for us political junkies to

watch. up next, more on the battle brewing. john barrasso joins me next. and it's tradition, senators wait till the 11th hour and they strike a deal on preserving another tradition, the filibuster. we'll break down the agreement to avert the so-called nuclear option with the senators. first, a look ahead at today's politics planner. the president will be doing a little bit a victory rally of sorts on getting richard corduroy. that will be his one public event at the white house. ♪

i haven't been evaluating or re-evaluating. i'm doing my job. it's kind of interesting that about 30 minutes after i put out a release saying i intend to run, that she put out one saying she was running. >> well, the unexpected announcement from liz cheney she plans to run for the senate may put some republicans in an awkward position. but in the junior senator from wyoming who says he's standing by. mike enzi jo. joining me now is the junior senator from wyoming, senator barrasso. i got to ask you, what's going on in your home state? why do you think mike enzi should be re-elected and renominated over cheney? >> mike has a strong solid conservative record of get things done for the people of wyoming. he is my friend. he is my mentor. i think he does a great job of representing wyoming in the senate and i'll support him for

re-election. >> did liz cheney reach out to you and ask for your advice? >> i talked to her a couple months ago but i haven't talked to her recently. >> do you think that there is a place in wyoming politics for liz cheney? >> i have great respect for the cheney family, for the vice president, for lynne and for liz. i think that she's terrific and she has a future that is very, very bright. i just think this is the wrong race at the wrong time. >> and her chief contention against senator enzi appears to be that he's not confrontational enough or not willing to -- is willing to sit down with others too much. is that something that's going to be a punishable offense in wyoming politics these days? >> the election isn't going to be for another 13 months. this is all going to come down to a decision by about 100,000 primary election voters next august. so that's a long way out. >> well, it will be, i imagine, a high turnout.

i want to move to the action that happened yesterday. >> chuck, that is a high turnout election. >> that's what i mean. i was not being facetious. that would be a big turnout. i want to move to the averted showdown between the two parties having to do with these confirmations. are you satisfied with the agreement? >> i was part of that group of eight that worked with chuck schumer last year to make sure we didn't just break the rules to change the rules. i think it's important to live within the rules of the senate, whichever party's in the majority, you know, over the years has wanted to press their advantage so people on both sides of the aisle have argued both positions over the years. i think it's an important thing that we've gone beyond this and we'll continue with the current rules of the senate. >> what's wrong, you know, you talk to sort of folks that don't follow this day to day and they say, well, geez, if the president wants somebody on his team and it's not a lifetime appointment, shouldn't that be separated out from this sort of filibuster way of doing things.

what do you say to that? >> a couple of things. it came up one morning when gibbs said can they confirm the secretary of homeland security? the biggest problem is there are 15 vacancies now in the department of homeland security security. top jobs where the administration hasn't put forth names. secretary kerry at the state department, there are 11 major jocks th jobs that are still op where names haven't come forward. the problem is positions in government haven't been filled not because they're being blocked, it's that names haven't even come forth yet from the white house. >> but you don't think it has anything to do with it's harder and harder to find people willing to take those be jobs, through a vetting process? look at the judicial nomination. if you're confirmed in less than a year, that's an amazing stat these days. and a lot of people don't want to put themselves through that. >> people get to decide what they want to go through.

the traditional nominees, what we know now, of course, it's a lifetime appointment. president obama has had his judicial nominees come through faster than president bush did or clinton did. we've seen that with cabinet nominees. the congressional research services looked into this. so it doesn't seem it's gotten any worse over the years. it was actually president bush's judges that were blocked and why that whole gang of 14 came together in the past to try to resolve that issue. so i think there's just so many vacancies for which we haven't even had names come to the senate. it's not the senate that's slowing it down. >> i want to get to two other issues. "the new york times" reports the health care exchanges in new york are going to bring down the cost of individual health insurance, the rates by 50%, five-zero. is that -- do you look at that at all and say, well, maybe implementing health care in these states is going to be a

good thing for some people in a lot of places, particularly a large state like new york? we saw the same thing in california. >> for young people, the rates are going to go up. young people that are going to be paying more than they had in the past because that's how this whole program is predicated. people still find the health care law offensive and are opposed to this individual mandate that everybody has to buy insurance. people are concerned about cost first. they just have to see how it affects them. the president made a lot of promises. if you have what you like, you can keep it. and that costs would drop he said by $2,500 per family by the end of his first term. that hasn't happened so far. there's even a question if the exchanges are going to work because senator baucus, as you know, called it an upcoming train wreck. >> if you see evidence they're working in places like new york, california, oregon, where there's frankly democratic party rules, so they're more inclined to want to be helpful to the

obama administration. that tells you, you know what, if we work within the system, maybe there's a way to make this work forrer. >> we'll have to see what the actual cost impact is for individuals, but right now we know the president has delayed one of the manda dates that haso do with the employers providing insurance, because they know it wasn't working, it's hurting jobs. we have more and more people working part time because of this. and now you've had the unions come out, including the teamsters, opposing the president and the health care law and a letter they wrote to nancy pell loosi and senator reo i think things are not as rosy as you paint them to be. >> on the sexual assault bill, gillibrand bill, got bipartisan support. i want to ask, where are you on this? you want to go in the direction gillibrand wants to go, take this out of the chain of command, or not? >> every member of the united

states senate, both parties, very concerned about this. we got to get this right. i was in the middle east over the fourth of july. weekend in the persian gulf visiting with wyoming national guard troops. this is an issue that has come up with the commanders and with the men and women in the field. we have to get this right. i've been visiting with senator jill ra brand about it. i want to get it right and we're going to continue to work for a solution. >> it sounds like you're undecided on the bill? >> i haven't signed on as one of the co-sponsors. we are all committed in a bipartisan way to get this right, to make sure this sort of activity does not happen in our military. >> all right, senator john barrasso, republican, from wyoming, who now, you get to play political pundit if you want. we'll have you on to talk about that primary any time you want, senator. thanks very much. we got much more on the cheney challenge on our website, including how this race stacks up against other recent interparty challenges.

up next, democratic senator chuck schumer on how the last-minute deal to avoid the so-called nuclear option was brokered and his push to make nypd commissioner ray kelly the next secretary of homeland security. plus, senator lindsay grape threatening a boycott of the upcoming olympic games in vladimir putin's hometown. who was the last incumbent wyoming senator to lose a re-election bid? first person to tweet the correct answer @chucktodd and @daily rundown. be right back. every parent wants the safest and healthiest products for their family. that's why i created the honest company. i was just a concerned mom, with a crazy dream. a wish that there was a company that i could rely on, that did all of the hard work for me. i'm jessica alba, and the honest company was my dream.

schumer. >> good morning. >> could you have gotten this done without mccain? >> no. john mccain was somebody would felt, as he did in january, when he and carl levin led a team i was part of to deal with the rules that we shouldn't break the rules here. but on the other hand, he understood that certain agencies were being blocked not because of objections to the individuals, but because people just didn't like those agencies and that was wrong, that the president deserved his choice. so we worked together long and hard. but we're buddies and he called me early on. he threw out a whole bunch of ideas. by the end, we got to a deal. it's much better for everybody. we get what we want. we get a cfpb and a department of labor that is going to be functioning and nobody really wanted to break the rules. we just felt so frustrated that

they were blocking these agencies for so long that we had no choice. thank god that armageddon was avoided. >> you've got all your alphabet letters there correct. >> took a while. >> to go on -- there are reports that actually at the end, the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell offered potentially a better deal to avert the crisis. he would have confirmed everybody, including the two nlrb members he withdrew, that he would be willing to exchange them all. my question be why did you guys, the democrats, decide they wanted to keep the option of doing this in the future? >> we can't promise to take filibuster off the table if they're going to go right back to what they're doing. i don't think they will, but leader reid wisely asked mcconnell, he said, okay, we won't evoke any rules changes if you promise not to filibuster any presidential appointees and

mccobbnnell said no. you can't have one without the other. frankly, the fact they were willing to take, that leader mcconnell was willing to take those two people shows the argument you couldn't take them because they were illegal, quote/unquote, doesn't make much sense. koerdry was appointed the same way. they didn't want the department to function. millions of working american people depend on some protections from the mlrb. >> do the two leadership sides, it looks from the outside that the democratic senate leadership, that you guys just are talking past each other. you don't see eye to eye on much of anything. is that a fair observation? >> no, i think the media likes to say that. we've had a fairly productive six months. look at the things that have been done on a bipartisan basis. obviously, immigration reform where mccain and i were involved with the other six of the gang of eight and so many other members. we passed a farm bill under

debbie stabenow and chambliss' leadership. we dealt with the fiscal cliff. barbara boxer and mr. vitter, senator vitter, agreed on a water and sewer bill. i mean, it was just -- it's the record in the senate, a bipartisan legislation this year, is much better than it's been in a long time. and i think that's the trend. what holds it up is the house. the house has its redistricting. they have a far right group that is maybe a third of the republican caucus. they seem to have a veto power on everything. >> i want to ask two questions. lindsey graham in an interview with us yesterday floated the idea of the possibility that the u.s. government should think about boycotting the winter olympics in russia. mainly having to do with this edward snowden issue. in general, he had some rough things to say about putin in

general and questioning whether -- how involved we should be with him. what do you think of that idea? jud >> i don't know whether we should go that far. i think give putin a chance. i will tell this on both sides of the aisle, there's total exasperation with mr. putin. he seems to go out of his way to figure out ways to trip up the united states. whether it's in iran, whether it's in syria. it almost seems like he's saying, to be important, he has to hurt our country. and if they could grant asylum or help snowden, there ought to be repercussions. i can't say what they would be. but i share his exasperation with putin and his view that if snowden is given asylum or some kind of safe haven. if mr. snowden really believed -- i'm not saying he doesn't believe what he did. if he were in the tradition of

the great people who have broken the law because they believed in something, like the civil rights marchers or even daniel elsburg, he'd be here, facing trial, making his case. the fact he's consorting with the russias, the chinese, the venezuelans, says a little bit about him and his integrity. >> do you believe this week that democrats have a tougher road at holding the senate majority in 2014 than they did last week, basically pre-brian wit zer's decision? >> my view is, as the republican party lets its right wing just dominate, it's going to be harder and harder, not just in 2016, which you will all concede, but in 2014 as well. the american people don't like it when either party veers to

the extreme. they're on the verge of issue after issue. whether it's the farm, you know, food stamps or immigration or just funding things like nih or education or roads. of going so far over that they could use grounds in 2014 as well. so the macro picture is actually quite better for us even if we don't -- you have our prime candidate in montana. >> all right, senator schumer, democrat from new york, top guy on the leadership, thank you, sir. >> thank you. up next, history in the making. we're taking a deep dive into an unusual way to look at the events that shaped our country. the creators of comedy central's new show "drunk history." and al sharpton's interview with rachel jeantel, the florida teen on the phone with trayvon martin just before he died. here's an excerpt. >> this will have nothing to do with me. it's not about me.

alcoholic. saying, quote, there are only occasional laughs to be had. watching a person get willfully drunk can be decidedly unfunny to everyone except him or her. well, i'll admit to have found this very funny over the years. joining me now are the creators of the show, jeremy conner and derek waters. good morning, gentlemen. >> thank you for having us. as funny as we thought our shorts have been, nothing's been as funny as us being right here so thank you for having us. >> fair enough. hopefully it's only coffee that we have going this morning. but let me ask you, dealing with the -- respond to your critics on this. are you concerned that you're glorifying binge drinking when it comes to this sketch comedy that you're doing? >> i personally see it more as a cautionary tale than anything. i don't know if it's really -- makes it look like a lot of fun. >> yeah, my friend's father, he

shows it to his kids and says, this is why you shouldn't drink. if anything, it shows, oh, new parts of history told in a funny way that aren't boring and it also gives you a way of, like, oh, you mess up and you're not as intelligent as you should be while you're drunk. so to the critics, everyone has an opinion, but we're not out to hurt anyone, we're just trying to make something funny and teach history that is usually taught in a more boring nonexciting way. >> i want to play a clip. it's your very first webisode. i spent hours watching it on youtube. that was the aaron burr, the burr/hamilton duel. let me play a clip of it. >> today we're going to talk about alexander hamilton. we got a duel. i was hamilton, listen, i can't

reconcile, you know, killing someone with my political beliefs. but i can't reconcile my political beliefs with not killing someone. can you see my belly? >> it's just funny, you know. i guess i'm one of the weird ones, right, that finds it so funny. hopefully you have more. >> we don't think you're weird at all, chuck. >> let me ask you this, how -- you know, as these guys are getting inebriated telling the story, if they're inaccurate in a bad way, do you have them do it over? i mean, how concerned are you at making sure that at least you have the fundamental facts correct? obviously the dialogue is not, but making sure that at least what people are taking away are basically the facts of that historical event. >> 100%, yeah. >> we're very concerned about

that. i don't think we've ever gotten dates wrong or, you know, locations wrong. we really do try to keep all the basic facts there. but it should, you know, if you're writing a paper, this is not a primary source. but i think that, you know, we do our best to keep all the facts straight. >> what is it -- how many takes does it take sometimes on some of these? because frankly, you know, since you're not as shall we say as up to speed on facts when you've been drinking too much, how many times have you had to do it over? >> i mean, we spend about four, five hours at either narrator's house. and it's just, okay, can you tell me that story one more time? and, you know, just the beginning, you can get a beginning, middle end. then as you keep go things start getting forgotten or little added details that may be about their personal life comes out.

which we're not out to expose them or exploit them i should say. it's just the idea of passionate people that are just having a little bit of trouble articulatinging what they're passionate about, you know? it's fun to watch people talk about what they love. >> before i let you go, this is now a show on comedy central so it's now on old television as opposed to new media where i first discovered it. each of you, your favorite episode you've done so far. >> you want to go? i mean, it might be the same one. >> i personally love detroit. it's the story -- we did the story of the kellogg brothers feuding. which is luke and owen wilson. and houdini. and sir author and their fight over spiritualism. >> ralph nader. jason schwartzman playing ralph nader. >> taking down general motors. >> that does sound like a good

i loved the olympics but hate what the russian government is doing throughout the world. if they gi asy give asylum to a i think that committed tresan against the united states. would you allow adolf hitler to host the olympics if you go back in time? >> how about that? that was south carolina senator lindsey graham. let's bring in stephanie and lois and contributing writing for roll call, anthony gonzalez. gee, let me start with you. if you can go back in time would you allow adolf hitler to host the olympics? i guess we know where lindsey graham stands. >> he is frustrated. somebody like that hurts the athletes and it doesn't advance

diplomatic missions but it does indicate how frustrated not just lindsey graham, your interview with senator schumer. equal frustration. >> i thought that was interesting, lois. like they said, you know what? maybe because this isn't putin's hometown. this whole olympics. it's basically a cash grab for sochi. you talk how much money this is costing. this would a real threat to the economic of russia. >> he is pulling a grenade right now. no one hat stomach for that just getting it in and everyone is talking about it and it's not the invasion of afghanistan. but, you know, there will get putin's attention. >> i want to move on, nathan. you love to talk senate politics and so do we. liz cheney, her getting in. watching mike enzi deal with this.

he knew it was coming and surprising how low key he made his renouncement knowing wfull well she would do something high profile. >> you sense sadness in his remarks. it's a clash not in how campaigns are run but i think mike enzi and we are seniority. we are primary voters and seniority does not count for anything. >> their primaries a small group of people. it really isn't sort of the way we have seen these primaries play out in 2010 and that is not what happens normally in wyoming. >> i wonder what we are missing here. she started the campaign now with an act of treachery and has, you know, created sympathy for enzi. everybody is jumping up. >> are we going to see that much sympathy here? >> i think so. she is trying to raise a

national campaign. she is talking about foreign policy but what about wyoming? she grew newspaper virginia. >> is it more about wyoming or ideology? >> it won't be about ideology because they aren't that far apart. the tea party groups in wyoming have lined up behind enzi because of the carpetbagger feeling about cheney's candidacy. i don't see big ideological difference between these two candidates. >> the style. >> there is style and generational, definitely a difference. >> i think almost more than carpetbagging the length of the campaign, you know -- >> i'm going make this a year, august primary, rye? >> if i recall the wyoming race in the off year wyoming sources laugh and say why don't you call me in january and february and we will start talking then. >> what are the odds enzi makes the race? >> i think a big question mark. >> the way he announced. a lot of speculation -- the whole reason why she went out there to set this up is sort of

widely assumed -- >> but voters don't like to be bullied and this seems a bully move on her part. >> you could argue i'm going to take a full year and prove my -- >> we don't know yet. >> prove my point. >> i think he has been doing that for years and that is a big advantage for him. >> it has to be fun for us to watch. your plug? >> we have a wonderful story on bloomberg about settling things in the senate last night -- >> settling the unsettled. >> daughter christian holmes got her first job on news channel 8. >> congratulations to her. >> the story on the daily rundown about the wyoming senate primary and preshameless plug who comes to fix our air-conditioning today! wow! >> i love that plug person too! >> free advertising. that's it for this edition of "the daily rundown."
