>> voters are at the polls in three states, indiana, ohio and north carolina. >> north carolina is a really interesting state for barack obama, narrowly for mitt romney 012. >> these tell us a lot about mainstream republicans and tea partyiers. >> the white house may not go along with the investigations. >> we have an effort that is so partisan in nature. >> the wave of outrage is growing. >> these girls are the best hope for the region. the best and brighter who should be doctors and lawyers being sold for $12 each. >> this document, the national climate assessment report. >> the most comprehensive report ever put out. >> some of the findings, temperatures could soar in the u.s. and hurricanes could be stronger in intensity and frequency and duration and wildfires out west could increase with more drought. >> christine is the first person

going to come forward now in this new phase, the democrats on the committee are hoping she will provide new information that gives them a link to governor christie to take him in some way to this scandal. >> today word that boko haram kidnapped another eight girls in a northeast town not far from where the terror group captured more than 300 other school girls three weeks ago today. outrage around the world is now growing louder with rallies like this one you see in los angeles. moments ago senator john mccain is sounding off on the crisis with my colleague, andrea mitchell. >> our vocabularies don't fit into a proper way to describe how offensive this is. we should say to the nigerian

government, this is offense to all human beings to everything that the world is supposed to stand for and we're going to act and we expect you to cooperate with this. this is not accept aable in any century, much less the 21st. >> an offense to all human beings, we're just learning from the white house briefing that secretary kerry offered to sends a team to nigeria and the offer has been accepted by nigeria's president. we'll have a terrifying look into what the young girls are likely facing right now. after a decade of public silence, monica lewinsky, famed lewinsky affair, has written about her dangerous liaison with then president clinton she writes it's time to bern the beret and bury the blue dress. i myself deeply regret what happened between me and president clinton. let me say it again, i, myself, deeply regret what happened, period. while it happened she writes she

was at times far more than regretful, suicidal harboring a fear i would literally be humiliated to death. it does not look like this will be the last we hear from miss lewinsky. she wants to help. she's planning to get involved with efforts on behalf of victims of online humiliation and harassment and start speaking out on the topic in public forums. joining me now is casey hunt and sam stein. good to have you both here. casey, i'll start with you, what struck you most about this news? >> this is just going to be the beginning and is possibly the most -- one of the worst things that could come back to haunt hillary clinton from the 1990s. this is something the country went through over the course of many years. >> even with the narrative she presents about bill clinton being fairly positive. gentlemen, my boss did take advantage of me but this was a consensual relationship and the worse trauma came from reaction on the hill. >> the other thing she discusses

that i thought was interesting is this idea that hillary clinton was blaming the women that were involved, blaming monica lewinsky and blaming herself for what happened. as somebody who is setting up a potential bid to be the first female president, that's striking. >> sam, how do you think republicans are going to react to this? >> call me ideaistic, call me naive. i think republicans will generally avoid this. i feel there's a general fatigue -- >> optimism from sam stein. >> wait until the end of the week and he'll get pessimistic. it's 20 years ago. -- not 20 years ago, 15 years ago. i think people are just sort of fatigued by the whole thing and don't really want to relive all of that drama. and i just think it's a noble thing she's doing trying to help people who are victims of internet harassment or suicidal like she was. i think we'll see her do things like that and applaud them and try to avoid as hopefully as society political culture, avoid

the aspects of what happened 15 years ago. >> i have to hope that but i do think not to make light of monica's trauma on this, we were all slightly traumatized by living through that. in terms of practical implications on this. clintons are riding high in the polls and you said it was the worst nightmare hillary clinton could face right now. do you think it will hit the poll numbers? >> i think secretary clinton came out of her tenure with extraordinarily high approval ratings and after the lewinsky affair she had high rating as well and went to run for office and poll numbers plummeted and she faced the same round of attacks. there's no question they are enjoying a period of riding high. but once this election fully engages, those poll numbers will go back towards the earth. lewinsky or not. >> a lot of democrats are focused on the general election but it is primary day, let's switch gears to that.

sam, let's talk about north carolina. there are a lot of eyes on that race, there's a tension between an establishment candidate and tea partyier coming up. what do you think that will shake out like. why are so many people focused on that particular race? >> the reason there's so much tension on this race, it's one of the first indications of this resurge ent mainstream republican republican push to get candidates nominated as their general election candidate. tom tillas has a host of financial backing there to avoid missteps of tea party past. what he needs to do tonight and break the 40e% threshold. if you get above that, you don't have to go to a runoff with your next closest competitor. he'll likely win the nomination either way but if he avoids a runoff, he saves a lot of money and two months of additional campaigning and said he could focus on kay hagen instead. >> casey, there's a congressional race happening in

north carolina, former american idol clay aiken is in that race. >> huge. >> huge, huge, big deal, he was on the program. >> he actually recently told me when he was on his opponent was giving a run for his money and there was a fund raising differential here. take a listen. >> his ability to self-funds his campaign, to me it's an example of someone who's trying to buy a seat. we see a lot of that on one side of the aisle and seeing on our side of the aisle too. >> what do you expect the outcome to be? >> it's a little bit of a blood badge, to be frank. >> a little bit, yes, shall we be frank. what's worse buying a seat or expecting as somebody who won millions of votes on american idol you can coast into a congressional seat. to a certain extent i don't see necessarily any reason for this to be at the top of anyone's radar screens other than for that reason. >> that's putting it nicely, casey. >> trying to be polite.

>> with all of the talk about with with the difficulty dems have in turning out voters, do you think we'll see more democratic money pour into state races? >> i think you're already seeing that. we're talking about the senate race in north carolina. one of the reasons why tom tillas may see the number fall below 40% because democrats have been up on the air hitting him. they claim they are not meddling but they would prefer to see it drawn out as long as possible. i'll say that the establishment republicans have a lot of skin in this game, the chamber of commerce and crossroads both up in the air with million plus dollar buys in the final weeks of this race. and that's reflective of how much north carolina is a bell weather. >> almost a battle for the republican party. >> on the democratic side, do you think you'll see bigger and bigger ad buys from dems? >> they are trying to figure out how to best spend their money. senate races are important.

political super pacs are popping up to support these candidates, but there's also a subculture in the democratic community that says we need to look further down the ballot. gubernatorial races and even races for judgeships, they all require money. in the super pac era, you can have one super pac pop up and totally recraft a judgeship race totally obscure but has an immense effect. they are trying to figure out how to position themselves in the post citizens you'ded world and i don't think they've come to a concrete game plan. >> we'll look at that in a second but thank you, always a pleasure to have you here. >> here's a number for you. .0005% of americans. that's just 159 people made up 60% of the super pac funding in the last election. super pacs are those organizations that pool massive

amounts of money and how you wind up with the political ads that end with paid for by people who did not coordinate with candidate x. one man doesn't think the majority of democratic. >> weigh want to fight back. our democracy is held hostage by the funders of campaigns. we're going to pay the ransom and get it back. we want to build a super pac big enough to end all super packs and over the course of the next two elections use that super pac to win enough seats to pass fundamental reform. >> i will spoke earlier to lawrence lessing, the man in the ad who started mayday pac. i asked him off the bat if super pacs are bad for america. >> yeah, super pacs are bad for american democracy because they further concentrate the

influence in our political system in tiny, tiny hand of funders. even without super pacs, the number of relevant funders of candidates and campaigns in american congressional elections today is about 150,000, which turns out to be the same number of people who are named lester in the united states. this tiny fraction of the 1% funding the campaigns have enormous power in the political system. they leave the rest of us completely rationally to say why should i bother or care? i don't matter because they matter so much. super pacs just exacerbate that. the totals from 2012 found 132 americans contributed 60% of the super pac money spent in the election cycle. you look at this tiny fraction and that only makes the problem of the corruption of this two headed system much worse. >> presumably people would not want a democracy run only by the people in america named lester.

what do you say to people who say this is just free speech? >> it is free speech. i'm not against -- not trying to regulate free speech. what we're talking about is making sure that the way we fund elections doesn't produce this obvious corruption where candidates are dependent for the first stage of an election on such a tiny fraction of america that they have enormous influence over the rest of the electoral process. the kind of changes we're pushing for aren't about limiting people's ability to spend their own money. it's about changing how campaigns are funded and particularly with super pacs changing a system where you can be contributing unlimited amounts of money into pacs that act in a way that as clearly leading candidates to bend their policies towards the super pacs. >> super pacs are so dangerous. why fight fire with fire? >> because it's the only weapon we've got. the reality is, the only way to rally americans to give them a sense of hope that there's something that can be done here

is to bring onto the table the biggest, baddest, haarmy we can that says we're standing up for american's ability to have the primary role in this election. if people begin to see there's a chance, there's an opportunity, they'll begin to rally to it. if we can be at enough elections in 2016 to actually change congress or congress is committed to the fundamental reform, we can win back control of our election process. but right now this is the only way we can do it. >> you mentioned fundamental reform. talk about what this means. this isn't a partisan initiative which is one of the things resonating this and causing to be success. what kind of candidate is one that will trigger that reform? >> the reform we're looking for is reform that changes the way we found elections. we have a problem right now because we fund with a tiny fraction of the 1%. the solution is to spread the funding ouxt there are republican proposals for doing that and democratic proposals

but they would be ways to change the funding, either through vouchers you give to people or through matching funds, which is what john sar bain's bill in congress called the government by the people act would do. all of these are ways to make it so we the people are funding campaigns not the tiny fraction much the 1% we call leflters for shorthand or sheldons for shorter numbers. that's the change we need. we've got to build a congress committed to that change. we think we can do it if we build enough people committeded to this. >> what has the response from the hill been so far? >> people in the hill are skeptical because they dont think the american people care about this issue. and the only way in which we'll convince them the american people care about this issue is if the american people respond. when we launched our super pac to kick start our super pac on may 1st, i had people telling me, look, you're not going to raise $10,000, not going to get $10,000 in the whole of the

united states committed to this. when we raise $200,000 in the first day, people were astonished and like, this is an amazing result. and mainly because we didn't use the standard techniques of buying ads on google or buying ads on television or anything like that. all we did was put up a web page and tweet and blog about it. it took off like wildfire. >> it is people wanting to take back democracy. this is one of the things that scares me most and one of the things that scares our viewers most. money controlling everything. this is a chance to fight back. thank you so much for the work on this. i'd love to come back to this. it is a fight at the heart of everything that underpins this election cycles. >> thank you. >> just ahead, does the road from the state department to 1600 pen lead through benghazi, a ranking democrat on whether that controversy will derail hillary clinton. stay with us. and just give them the basics, you know. i got this.

we're back, democrats are fighting another benghazi investigation. this time a select committee led by house republicans. steny hoyer is calling on democrats to vote no to the resolution to authorize the committee saying quote, we think it is political, not substantive. and here's the thing, since republicans control the house, it's going to happen. and if it does happen, house minority leader nancy pel loiscy is calling for equal party representation. if this review is to be fair, it must be truly bipartisan. here's why this matters, as long as the hill is playing politics, they are not making changes to protect overseas, instead of focusing on bringing justice on

those who killed these americans, they held 13 public hearings they held 50 separate briefings, instead of debating ways to protect american public servants everywhere, they turned out 25,000 pages of documents joining me from capitol hill is chris van hollen. are you going to vote no? >> oh, yes, i'm going to vote no because ronan, as you just indicated the benghazi tragedy has already been exhaustively investigated here in congress and also by an independent panel that was established and a long time ago it veered off the road for legitimate serious inquiry into a witch hunt based on conspiracy theory. it would be a waste of taxpayer money to go down this road once again. >> congressman adam schiff was

calling for a boycott and pelosi demanding equal representation within the hearings. what's the better strategy? >> one is whether we should be spending taxpayer money on this new panel. i think democrats in the house will be united and say that's a bad waste of taxpayer dollars. if republicans establish a panel, should democrats participate in what leader pelosi has said if this is a fair process, meaning if you're generally interested in trying to get more facts rather than engage in a political witch hunt, then you should have even participation. you should have the same number of democrats, republicans, the procedure should be balanced unfortunately from what i'm told, republicans already rejected the ideal balance. that's the way we set up the ethics committee in congress. if republicans aren't willing to

do that, it's just as more evidence that they are interested in politics rather than substance. >> how would i boycott effect a potential hillary clinton run? >> well, this is what one of the major objectives is to try to damage hillary clinton and respective run. i think the american people are on to this. they are saying, really? we've got all sorts of issues in the economy, jobs, we can't get a vote here in the house to raise the minimum wage and can't get a vote on comprehensive immigration reform, which is a bipartisan bill from the senate. we can't do anything like that but we have time to spend resources trying to go after hillary clinton's run in 2016? i think it's bad policy and bad politics for republicans and i think it's going to back fire on them. >> both parties obviously over time cut from em passcy security funding and both parties at this point playing politics. do you think both parties do assume some blame for a failure

to focus on the under lying issue? >> the under lying issue making sure folks overseas are protected. my father was a career foreign service officer just like ambassador chris stevens and we all have an interest in making sure that our folks taking risks overseas are protected. this should be the focus. the republican budget that passed the house slashed that portion of the budget that goes to fund our embassy security. the other thing i would say, ronan, the people i talked to in the foreign service right now find it absolutely repulsive that you have so many members of congress whether it was daryl issa or these others now who are exploiting this tragedy for political purposes. because it is undignified and doesn't give our foreign service

officers the respect they are entitled to. >> you mentioned the cuts to budget but it is how resources can be used and that was the benghazi review board. they wanted more flexibility in how existing resources to be applied to covert posts. is there any move on the hill to impact that and other recommendations that could change this? >> yes, if you look at the budget the president presented and the budget that i offered on behalf of my democratic colleagues in the house, we want to fully resource those efforts to make sure that we leave no stone unturned in terms of providing adequate protection, which is a very different objective than this political witch hunt that you're seeing, which is sort of as i say veered off to look at unrelated issues. if we can get the focus back where it belongs, which is making sure we provide the necessary security, that's where we should be. i should also say, there are inher ent risks that foreign

service officers take and they take them womeningly and bravely so make sure that we serve american interests -- >> all the more reason why they need to be protected. >> ambassador chris stevens was a great example of somebody who vigorously represented u.s. interests abroad. >> he was indeed. i hope you can cut through the politics on this. thenigeria, they are going to hold a moment of silence for these girls. is the u.s. government doing enough? >> yes, from the very beginning we have said from the nigerian government we want to help. the nigerian government sort of did not take us up on that offer immediately. i'm glad they've finally done that. this group, terrorist group has been doing these kind of things without as many public attention in the past. this obviously the kidnapping of over 200 students, means that

the united states and international community have to rally. let's try and get after this right away. glad nigerian government is finally coming around to accepting our assistance. >> chris van holen, thank you. >> thank you. >> we're going to look at that very topic. if you wanted to know the weather in your neck of the woods today, there would have been no better place than the white house and update on those boko haram kidnappings. stay with us.

learned secretary of state john kerry spoke with goodluck jonathan this morning and sent a team to help find the abducted nigerian school girls. amid troubling news that smted boko haram gunmen kidnapped another eight girls overnight and for first time we're hearing from one of the school girls taken captive. the story is difficult but it's an important one to tell. she says armed men in uniforms burst into her school promising to rescue them. don't worry, we're soldiers and nothing is going to happen to you. then they started to shout god is great and we knew what they knew was chilling. the men were actually members of the islamic group boko haram, extremists, responsible for a spade of attacks in the region. this young girl recounted how she and the others escaped.

we ran so fast, that is how i saved myself. i had no time to be scared. i was just running. >> the 276 school girls are still missing. i'm really lucky and i can thank god for that but god must help all of them. they are parents are worrying, every day, everyone is crying. this morning more outrage outside the embassy in washington, protesters demanding the nigerian government do more to rescue these girls. moments ago in chicago, jesse jackson spoke about the crisis. >> we all have an interest in stopping this reign of terror and getting the girls back to their parents and end this kind of activity. >> joining me now is sister rosemary of saint monica's girl's tailering school. detailed in the book sewing

hope. you're familiar with this dynamic. the details may be graphic but walk us through what the nigerian school girls might be experiencing in captivity. sister, do we have you there? >> yes, i can hear you. >> can you give us a sense of what the girls may be going through in captivity right now? >> right now it's a very, very painful moment, even for everyone who is hearing about what's going on. especially for parents and relatives of this girls and these young girls, i'm sure they are going through a very painful situation, psych logally and physic physically. there's nothing much we seem at this time to be able to do. yet i think it is possible. we can do something. honestly our sympathy goes out

to these young girls and their parents at the same time. we're going to come together and stop this evil. but the way of stopping this evil as i can see it's a way of coming together, peacefully, just not offering another pain. let us go to that concept that two wrongs will never make a right. i think we need to come together and engage in a peaceful way of resolving this. >> and sister, you mentioned evil and of course one of the evils at play is how widely used sexual violence is in cases like this. listen to soldiers in congo explaining why they rape

. >> sister, what's your response to those disturbing remarks? >> i think people must sacrifice -- we have to sacrifice everything, money, energy, and there must be a way of coming to look for a solution to this problem. and i think we must engage these people who think they are committing these o trosties by raping these girls and making them become sex slaves. there must be engaged into talks. i'm sure there are people who can do this. i'm not an expert on this, but there are people who can engage in this. >> you think the answer is not to isolate them but talk to them more? these extremist? >> i beg your pardon. >> you think the answer is not to isolate the extremist groups but to communicate with them more? >> i know they are isolated,

it's very difficult. right now these girls feel they are by themselves. people should let the girls not feel they are by themselves. everyone is caring and we're looking for ways to finding how the girls can be brought back. we're going to think of ways of how we can talk to people who are abducting them. that must be the greatest carry the world must think of. we have to engage these people and find how these girlsz can be brought back. >> when you talk about engaging with extremists, obviously that's a challenge in cases where they are this violent and resorting to the tactics. what would you say to men who kidnapped these girls? >> this men is talking and everybody is hearing what he's saying and i'm sure somebody is able to capture everything he's saying. the people who are hearing him say what he's saying now are the people who can engage him. they can respond to him. they can ask him exactly what

join he has in destroying the lives and destroying the future of these children. i'm sure he needs someone to talk to him. >> why is it that you think they fear girls education that the group's very name is western education is a sin if you translate it into english. what is it that the men fear about girls who go to school? >> i'm sure they want to -- it's all about power. and it's all about destroying a woman's future, to think that if we take them would destroy the education and make them and rape them, going to take away hope from them. i'm sure these girls deep in their hearts, they are not going to be destroyed. they are going to hope. and once they will be able to come out of this, people need to support them and let them get above what these people have done to them. >> we all share that hope. thank you so much, sister. >> thank you.

>> we leave you with a reminder of 276 girls still missing, daughters whose bright futures are boko haram is trying to darken. ups is a global company, but most of our employees live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that's good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that's good for everyone. it makes me feel very good about the future of our company. ♪ ...i got lots of advice, but i needed information i could trust. unitedhealthcare's innovative, simple program helps moms stay on track with their doctors to get the right care and guidance.

as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

we're back, immigration, for president obama it is a catch 22. activists call him the deporter in chief. for the 2 million immigrants removed from the u.s. since he took office and republicans say he can't be trusted with border security. there were 235,000 people stopped within 100 miles of the border. that is up from the last year of the bush administration in 2008. as for undocumented immigrants already living well inside the u.s. in 2013, there were about 133,500 interior deportations

and that is down from 2009. he has actually done well in that area. how does president obama enforce border security while showing compassion for the undocumented immigrants already here? let's ask henry munoz and also dnc national finance committee chair. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> directed the homeland secretary to review, what can he do if the hill won't move on immigration reform? >> the president has asked for the department of homeland security to review and make sure that our deportation policies are more humane. i would remind everyone this is the president who passed the executive order to make sure the dreamers could stay in the united states, making it possible for over 600,000 dreamers to continue their education. >> and with such a small fraction of republicans

representing districts that have latino populations, how do you get this mobilized on the hill so it's not just the president fighting for it? >> these are the issues of the american dream. and this is a population that is continuing to expand its presence in the united states and in many ways, the latino community is the future of the united states and it's important that we continue to be represented and these issues like immigration reform are the cornerstone of the future of this country. >> your group the lat no victory project is focused on increasing the number of hispanic candidates in our elections. how do you think that can change the debate? >> we're 53% of the population. there's only a few hundred of us in congress and in statewide elected offices so it's important that we take this moment into our own hands and remind everyone in this country that we are the future of the country and i think in this election year in the mid-term

election, it's important for us to maintain our voice, not to go back and to make sure that we vote in these elections that are so important to us. >> it is always the case that more representation can change the conversation and as you mentioned before, it was a small percentage of republicans with significant latino populations over 25% is the figure we're referring to, just out this past month. in addition to getting more of a voice in this debate, are you pressing the white house as you press the hill, do you think there are piecemeal actions that could be taken to spur the hill to do more? >> this is the president who has said day after day after day that comprehensive immigration reform is important to the future of this country. it's important for us to remember where this battle is taking place and to press congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform and earned path to citizenship.

my mom used to tell me you can't sit in two chairs with one set -- that's true and the republican leadership has to come to terms with the fact that now is the time to pass immigration reform. >> thank you so much for your work on this. remember, our call to action this week is an effort to push for a solution on capitol hill. they need your help. we want you to join the effort and sign our letter to speaker john boehner, calling for him to pass immigration reform this year. you can log in and enter your name. let us know why you think it is important. facebook or e-mail at ronan farrow daily at msnbc.com. a new report from the white house scares the bejesus out of me. what does it have to do with al roker? stay tuned.
