6:00 am
with you this morning. live pictures with gun salutes, this is the park, all to welcome the new young man who is third in line to the throne. lets take a listen. pageantry of
6:01 am
6:02 am
6:03 am
6:04 am
6:05 am
welcomes a new baby. of course this young baby is third in line to the throne at the tower of london. what you're hearing are 62 rounds being fired. 21 rounds represent the royal family, 20 represent being at a royal location and 21 for the tower of london. the park salute, 41 rounds, 21 for the royal family and relocation. of course as you may already know, the duchess of cambridge gave birth to a nice sized boy, pounds 6 ounces monday. prince william was at her side. headlines across the country and around the world have celebrated the arrival of this future king.
6:06 am
"the guardian," look here, a birth, a boy, a prince, a king. the daily star simply declared, "it's a boy!". the sun renamed itself the son. in india, it's a boy, bundle of joy arrived. courier mail in brisbane, australia, a breath of fresh air. it's the first time in more than 100 years there are three living direct heirs to the throne. want to talk a little about this. joining me from london jim maceda, outside st. mary's hospital and kyra simmons outside of buckingham palace. jim, i think the expectation today is that the new royal baby will have visitors. we know the queen visited young baby william before he was named when he was in the hospital, born in that same hospital. i assume that's the expectation today? >> hi, chuck.
6:07 am
there is an expectation for visitors. there's a lot of talk about the queen coming for that very reason she came 31 years ago. so far we're getting absolutely no feedback or any kind of confirmation at all from kensington palace on visitors. no news at all on when we can expect to see not the couple but the trio with the young boy exit the door behind me here at the lindo maternity wing and make history, really. we've been waiting now all day long. it's a couple of moments we were drowned out by torrential rains. but it's really a wait and see moment here. we were told we would get a 30 to 60-minute warning earlier but that warning hasn't come. after spending a night recovering from what was reported to be a normal and healthy birth, kate and william
6:08 am
will be very keen certainly to get away from us, the international press, and go home as soon as possible. we know they are doing very well. that we've been told. they have also thanked the hospital staff for a tremendous job in taking care of them but that's all we know at this point, chuck. back to you. >> all right. you're at buckingham palace and seeing so many well wishers show up at the palace gates. talk about the way britain is reacting to this and really every since the marriage of kate there seems to be this positive glow about the royal family we haven't seen in almost a generati generation. >> chuck, good morning. they are going through an extraordinary era really, people are so positive about them. by the way, that 41 gun salute we could hear from here.
6:09 am
31 pounder guns from world war i era echoing out to hyde park. the queen is still inside, royal flag above the palace indicates she's still in residence. she certainly will have heard them. so if she is planning to go to the hospital at some point, we certainly haven't seen any movement but we assume she would leave from here and we might get some kind of indication. we were talking this morning, too, because thoughts turn to this. you were talking about how well the family is doing. there's also challenges the new boy and heir faces. it may well be he will be king in the next century. what challenges does that pose in terms of keeping the royal family relevant. how will the country feel then? the thing to remember that while
6:10 am
there are these bragss and the royal family and the queen herself will be delighted with all of this, they take a very long-term view. you're talking about a family has look back hundreds of years to their ancestors. they look forward decades hundreds of years. let me just show you one headline. you were reading the headlines there. i think it sums up some of the challenges they still face in keeping the royal family relevant. one sarcastic magazine poking fun at all of us today saying -- printing the headline here "woman has baby." having a bit of fun. have you to laugh a little. >> maybe some of us here feel that way at some point, the attention this all receives. there is sort of this tradition, this history, this heritage that goes with it. on the other hand, i sort of get it. quickly talk about the economic impact here that they expect
6:11 am
this birth to have. >> well, it will have an economic impact not least because of tourism. that's one of the crucial things for britain about the royal family is that it kind of gives grand britain a place to showcase themselves around the world. you can see behind me here, chuck, actually that artillery that was firing that 41 gun salute now heading back past buckingham palace here behind me having carried out that salute. this the kind of pageantry, chuck, that really sells britain around the world, that brings people here. so this is the kind of thing people look to from the royal family as ambassadors, if you like. while you have all of this history, at the same time you have a family in william and kate who are working to be modern.
6:12 am
that's another kind of piece of the british brand we try to sell around the world. this is a traditional country but also a modern country. >> so far they have carried themselves like no modern member of the royal family has so far in such a positive light. i thank you both. coming up in 20 minutes, britain's ambassador to the united states right here on set, sir peter. he'll be here live to talk about all this. coming up after the break, my first reads this morning. it is still a busy week in politics here. here is today's politics planner so you have it. the first lady speaking at la raza, imkbrags talk there. maybe rick will show off his tattoo he had to get when louisville cardinals visit the white house. you're watching "the daily rundown" on msnbc. ♪

6:16 am
and we are back. "the daily rundown." guess what that means, first reads of the morning a little delayed but we've got it here. first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem. when it comes to the political dysfunction in washington, everyone appears to be denying their part of it and just pointing the finger elsewhere. the white house simultaneously the speech on the economy, fwu will not give much news. organizing for action summit the president participated in the hype himself and previewed the public campaign of the next few months. >> because we've got a lot more work to do, on wednesday i'm going back to galesburg, illinois, and talk about where we need to go from here, how we need to put behind us the distractions and phony debates
6:17 am
and nonsense that somehow passes for politics these days and get back to basics. it's going to be the kickoff to what is essentially several months of us trying to get washington and the press to refocus on the economy. >> after the august recess, the house has just nine days in session before the next shutdown crisis on october 1st. a sign about how quickly things are likely to escalate the fall house speaker john boehner going from zero to shutdown in a memo prelighting the president's speech saying the president will deliver his ump teenth iteration. promises to be little novel despite a bit of news, whether the president will threaten a government shutdown this year. trying to turn the tables on the
6:18 am
white house, boehner accuses the president of threatening a government shutdown because the president says he plans to veto any annual spending bills either from the house that don't deal with sequestration. the white house dismissed that the veto threat amounts to a threat to shut down the government over sequestration. the hand to hand combat which has already begun between republicans and white house is not about setting the debate for fall budget fights but also about setting the tone for the 2014 election cycle. the summit the president is kicking off is part of a push dubbed by lawmakers as action august. it formerly begins on the president's birthday august 4th when they plan to promote events promoting the implementation will health care as well as immigration, deals with gun violence and climate change. >> it will be a pretty good speech. but as we've learned -- i've given some pretty good speeches
6:19 am
before, and then things still get stuck here in washington, which is why i'm going to need your help. how do we keep people involved? naturally it's not doing to be as full of razzmatazz as a campaign. >> meanwhile house republicans who have contributed more than their fair share to the political gridlock plan to return to their districts with a washington bashing planning kit of, quote, suggested events, practices and talking points. a guide to fighting washington for all americans. that's the theme, the ultimate 2014 prize, of course, is the u.s. senate, who controls it. last night majority leader harry reid tried to put the best spin possible on the uphill challenge to democrats defend four democratic incumbents that represent states carried hold majority in their hands while taunting his republican counterpart. >> we are not going to go down easy. we're going to stay out.
6:20 am
after 21 days in the great state of kentucky, it's time. 45-45, grimes versus mcconnell and he got a primary opponent today. he tried to make love to the tea party, and they didn't like it. >> yeah, i know. you're getting that image out of your head. sorry, guys. of course, here is the challenger's name, louisville businessman mat bevin who will formally kick off his campaign in kentucky with three events actually tomorrow. it's a good time to bring in the gaggle. we've got an interesting show mixing it up, editor in chief reed wilson host of disrupt, who just disrupted me. dnc spokesman karen phinney and republican strategist.
6:21 am
welcome all. i want to start the playbook for august, the fall, congressional debates but also a preview of what they think 2014 is involved. man, everybody hates washington and all these guys work in it. how are voters responding? >> voters are not terribly happy over washington, d.c. over the last few years. seeing everybody's approval rating, even president obama's approval rating. >> 52% in california. that's a problem. >> by the way, he's got to go out -- these republicans have to go out and talk about how much they hate washington because they don't want to talk about the other elephant in the room and that is immigration reform debate. remember how bad august 2009 was for democrats on health care, same thing took happen for house republicans. >> part of what people are so frustrated about is nothing is getting duchbl the president at the end of august will be able to say this is what i did. i was here, here, here. i had ideas, i was ready, they didn't do anything. part of the strategy is
6:22 am
highlight and raise a level of embarrassment that their goal is repealing more laws, right? >> john, interesting to me, she put out a kit for house republicans, if you're already basically saying your campaign message is going to be, look, this is hard, undoing big government is hard, all this stuff. i get it from 30,000 feet. that's not something to bring home and say look at what we've done. it's sort of admitting look what we haven't done yet and i'll explain why. that's tough. >> i think what republicans are saying, the signature achievement on this administration is obama care, also the least popular thing. lets talk about how we're still going to try to get rid of this terrible law and keep the pressure on them. i thought the speaker did very interestingly was start raising the curtain on the big fight on sequester and big government shutdown, trying to get ahead of that story. if there is a government shutdown he doesn't get blamed. >> quickly i want to touch on mcconnell. today you feel the squeeze.
6:23 am
harry reid does that taunt, senate north pac, tea party challenge gets in, the squeeze is on. >> remember, this was part of the big fight between reid and mcconnell. mcconnell was angry all these pro harry reid -- these harry reid advisers running super pac ads against him. now parry reid is pushing more buttons. this is reid being reid. >> i can't help but look at, this i feel like it's a carbon copy of what we saw happen to harry reid in 2010. >> absolutely. >> mcconnell may win but he is going to come out of this a battered, battered politician. >> absolutely. harry reid is nothing if not a fabulous politician. that not only is what happened to him in nevada but that was a playbook we saw in a couple other states where republicans had a tough time. yes, i'm sure he's perfectly happy to let this tea party -- >> the biggest frustrations for republicans is the waste of money in primaries.
6:24 am
mitch mcconnell has been the biggest opponent to barack obama, he stopped him on levels, the tea party should be pleased. we're wasting resources. mcconnell will win and that's fine. we could take that money and take back the senate and do something against obama. >> he's wildly popular in kentucky. >> come back, a teaser for you, talk about bob filner. coming back we'll see, the president gets a library. we want to talk about the brits, the man that made america. a little george washington. first today's trivia question, who is the only sitting member of congress born in the united kingdom? first person to tweet the answer gets a shout out today. answer coming up on "the daily rundown." look at this. i see the wheels turning over here.
6:25 am
6:26 am
6:27 am
6:28 am
. you want to feel a little patriotic, here we go. appropriate enough with baby news, today we're taking a deep dive into america's first president, george washington who decidedly avoided creating a monarchy in the newly form united states. guess what, he's finally getting his own presidential library. relatively speaking presidential libraries are a fairly recent development created by an act of congress during franklin roosevelt's teen you're, the 13 official libraries administered under national archive system and funded by a mix of public and private donations. the first opened in 1940 for president roosevelt, still president at the time. the newest opened this summer for president bush, in texas. all the presidential library
6:29 am
system covers presidents since hoover. what about the first presidents. countless presidential materials have been lost or destroyed. although many presidential papers divided up between historical societies and libraries. many exist throughout the country today but can often take years to get funding and gather materials. for instance, abc ham lincoln's opened in 2005, 140 years after his assassination. the longest wait still belongs to the country's first president who finally gets his first library near his home in mt. vernon. the fred w. smith library for the study of george washington will open in september and house thousands of books, journals and other materials on president george washington and his work. located on 14 acres by the mt. vernon he state, culmination of 150 years effort to restore washington's personal library collection. joining me now is president of the george washington mt. vernon
6:30 am
society. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. thank you for having me. >> finally we have a george washington presidential library. lets just talk, what is the number one purpose in your mind of what the george washington presidential library should be about? >> we're really interested in fostering more scholarship around washington and his seminal role around that and disseminating to people around the world. that's the first thing. also you pointed out when mt. vernon ladies association took over the estate in the 1950s, there was nothing there. the house was in ruins. we have systematically over the last 60 years, we've acquired a number of documents and this will be the place to house those. >> what was interesting about some of the early founding fathers, you had thomas jefferson, virginia arguably is his entire presidential library. james madison did something similar in many years. there never was that sense with
6:31 am
washington. as you've guided through this, did he want some sort of scholarship done or about the founding? what did he want his papers to be housed? >> in a very real since 214 years later, almost 214 years later we're fulfilling his wish. late in his life he remarked in a letter to his friend, i have but one house to build to house my military, civilian and government papers. they are voluminous. particular understanding fashion he said, they might be of interest. so he clearly had it on his mind. of course when he died in 1799 and martha shortly thereafter by the terms of the will most of his documents were then spread to relatives of the two of them. >> one of my frustrations, i have this odd goal -- other people might have an odd goal. i want to read one definitive biography of the presidents in the 20s if there is one. you can't sit here and point to
6:32 am
the great washington biography. it's almost as if you find wonderful historians get caught up in the jefferson mythology or we saw with david mccullough and john adams, madison, jackson, you don't see that same draw on washington and i don't get it. >> well, as i count ellis -- those are. both books on washington, the more recent, a larger work, i actually think both of them would say that the compilation of all of the records at the washington papers project has afforded scholars a place to one-stop shop. we're delighted to have that. it will end up being when it's finished 90 volumes. it includes his presidency and miller career. >> your sense is that this probably then will launch maybe a whole bunch of more interested -- now have you a central location and people will
6:33 am
probably -- more washington biographies and the way we see every utterance of lincoln, somebody wants to write a book about him, his religious beliefs, somebody will write about washington. >> we have the advantage of being quite close to d.c. we have the building -- he became president in an era before political parties. we're hoping it will be a place for bipartisan fiscal discourse. we had ad hoc group for debt reduction there in october. this library affords a more interesting way to do that. >> that's an interesting way to see the library used in the modern era, here is the man without a party. maybe that's where interesting deals could get done. >> he was a man with an ego, but he understood where his place in posterity would be. he basically was able to supplement that ego in the interest of the american people and that's important. >> curt, nice to meet you, have you here. >> thank you, chuck.
6:34 am
>> the washington library. lets get it going. we need 44 around the country. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> there you have it, a little american patriotism thrown in this week. britain's ambassador to the u.s. here as we show you live pictures, familiar doors of the lindo wing where the newest member of the royal family is experiencing his last few moments of anonymity. the world is still waiting for that first glimpse of the new royal baby. all eyes are on that door as we wait to see when will and kate walk out with their new son, a future king of england. still no word when that will take place. could be today, could be tomorrow. we may have royal visitors later today. you're watching "the daily rundown" only on msnbc.

twitter reported 25,000 per minute during peak conversation with the highest volume naturally coming from the united kingdom. joining me british ambassador to the united states sir peter westmacott. nice to see you. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> you're representing the entire british government here. explain -- i'm curious, when britons ask you about the u.s. fascination in the royal family, what do you say to them? >> i say to them we have to remember we have an awful lot of friends in the united states. there's an awful lot of people there who originally trace their roots back to the uk and some other countries in the world that decided to get rid of monarchies, there's a bit of buyer's remorse. >> i don't think there's buyer's remorse. that's an interesting comparison. talk about how the royal family
6:39 am
is to the entire british economy. >> i think in a way that is very hard to measure, the monarchy is one of the draws we've got that brings people all over the world to the united kingdom. they come to see the london eye and that stuff, shakes spear, gardens, everything about the uk. buckingham palace, royal family, that is part of what we've got, a draw, and other countries do not have. >> obviously they don't govern the country. it's all ceremonial. i look at it and it looks like -- basically it's britain's biggest celebrities are the royal family. there is some debate you hear from british media every now and then saying is it worth the money. what do you say? >> what i would say, it's worth looking at the facts. people say headlines, monarchy cost taxpayer 35 million pounds a year. actually monarchy gives taxpayer 250 million pounds a year
6:40 am
because they surrender all they receive from the crown estates and get back about 15%. so anyone who says, gosh, it's very expensive to british taxpayer, it's an unfair thing to say. it's a good deal, despite the fact having monarchy and rock stars in our family which bring lots and lots of people to the country. >> i assume it's a lot easier defending this relationship between the british government and british royal family and taxpayers when you have a couple in will and kate that doesn't do anything wrong. after 20 years of following all the negative, always this feeling of a cloud that was hanging over the head of the royal family, i assume this is -- everybody is almost relieved watching will and kate and now this beautiful first royal family. >> i think will and kate have been wonderful. they have been a huge advantage for us. they are a wonderful, warm, nice couple. lets don't forget also when we had the diamond jubilee of the queen last year, the world sat
6:41 am
up and said, wow, look what she's done 60 years on the throne, never put a foot wrong, wonderful sense of service. two months ago we had prince harry in america, he made a fantastic impression, a great hit as well. there's william and kate but my own view the royal family together are doing a great job at the moment. we've had them for 1,000 years and i think they will be around yet. >> all three heirs we'll see them at some point assume the monarchy. maybe not in our lifetimes. >> well, indeed. first time since queen victoria you've got monarch, next in line, next in line, next in line and fourth in line, all alive while one still on the throne. >> peter westmacott, congratulations again. i know you're throwing a big party right here in washington for washingtonians to show off. up next on capitol hill a fight over immigration reform.

6:46 am
public pressure on speaker boehner today. they hold the first hearing on the kids act backed by majority leader eric cantor to address immigration status of the undocumented immigrant children known as dreamers. the effort has already been panned by many dreamers because it's not expected to include a pathway to citizenship for the country's remaining undocumented immigrants, including their parents. but in another sign of the house senate divide, texas senator john cornyn is going to testify this morning in house homeland security committee hearing called a study in contrast. house and senate approaches to border security. you can guess which approach will come out looking better. finally there's first lady michelle obama speaks today to the largest national hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the united states, the national council of la raza. joining me now joaquin castro, co-congressman of the freshman class but very much involved in
6:47 am
sort of that next ring of the various gangs that are in the house trying to get immigration done. so let me ask you about luis gutierrez' optimism. he thinks some immigration deal with a path to citizenship is truly possible. what say you? >> i share luis's optimism. throughout the years, of all the folks here in congress, he's work the hardest to make sure we actually get a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. so i share his optimism. in fact, one of the things luis has said i also agree with you, if you put the senate bill to a vote on the house floor today, there is a good chance we could actually pass it. what's getting in the way of that is pure politic, the fact that the speaker wants to employ the hastert rule that he won't allow any piece of legislation to move without it having majority republican support. >> you were quoted in your hometown paper as saying for this to pass make bitter pills, quote, are going to have to be swallowed by democrats to get this done. what are these pills?
6:48 am
what do you believe -- which pills here are bitter to you? >> specifically all of the new border patrol agents along the southwestern border. the reason i say that is because if you look at what's going on in the border now, it is the most secure it's ever been of the number of folks crossing from mexico is as low as it's ever been in about four decades. so given the context of where the country is right now and the fact that you would be doubling the number of border patrol ags, the effect on texas and other southwestern states would just be incredible. those are some bitter pills to swallow. >> what do you mean they will be incredible? do you believe it's a more militarized border? >> certainly headed in that direction, sure. >> i notice that there are some people are so upset about it they don't want any part of the senate deal. is there a point, a breaking point for you that yet more border security is added, what is it that would be a breaking
6:49 am
point for you? >> chuck, i've expressed support for the senate compromise, given the political realities, that was the best deal they could come to. for a lot of democrats it's near the breaking point after that. it's interesting to see what happens in the house. >> do you expect something by the end of the year? what's the realtime line now? you were the first one to voice publicly, say, hey, this is going to take a while. all right. what's the time line looking to you now? >> i still think our window is 2013. once you start getting into 2014 it's tougher, the good thing we've still got a few more months in 2013 to get it done. >> democratic freshman, thanks for coming on, for your time. >> thank you. >> i want to get my gaggle back and talk immigration with them. we're going to take a quick break. the only sitting member of the congress in the uk, it's ron
