aww, ladies' man. milo's kitchen. made in the usa with chicken or beef as the number one ingredient. the best treats come from the kitchen. mitt romney is back and what he think thes about hillary c n clinton's record. >> well, i believe it is wrong there. >> and should we be spending far more money on resources of finding a missing plane than children who are alive? >> and a mother's intuition, and they are more powerful than ever not just krooifi idriving the m

but politics too, and what are the next glass ceilings to shatter? i'm chris jansing and right now house leadership is meeting behind closed doors plotting the next door. the partisan vote last night set up an investigation for the benghazi tragedy and we are expected to hear from nancy pelosi in an hour. and debbie wassermann schultz outlined some options. >> not participating in the sham select committee after 13 investigations, and 15 briefings and 35,000 pages of documents for what is essentially a political ploy should be considered and it is perfectly legitimate for us to participate and get our questions answered and help make sure that we can balance the outcome. >> and the democrats are blasting the investigation as pure politics designed to fire up the republican base for the midterms, but speaker john boehner dodged repeated questions from our luke russert on whether gop should be

fund-raising off of benghazi. >> speaker boehner, four americans died in benbenghazi, sh should, you be able to fund raise off of this? >> no, our focus is for the answers for the families. >> and should you be able to -- >> our focus is getting answers for these four families. >> joining us now to discuss this is what we are looking at a new york times editorial board it is a that the hottest competition is house republicans vying for the seat on the benghazi kangaroo court also known as the house select committee to investigate the scandal. they should not hesitate to skip it, because the presence lends legitimacy to the farce. and the opposing view is that you don't want to be seen as running away as a democrat, and

afraid of the investigation, and that is how the republicans will paint it. we are expected to hear from nancy pelosi in an hour, and dafna, what is she is going to do? >> well, debbie wassermann schultz guided everyone there. they are not running away, but they want to the participate and structure the impact as much as they can and come out immediately after the cameras after every session to characterize the situation as political frankly, and the reporting that luke did with the speaker just speaks for itself. i mean, this is a fund-raising opportunity in place where there is very little right now for the republican republicans to fund raise awe off of >> and we are seeing the democrats going into the meeting, and there is nancy pelosi. on the conservative side of things charles kraut hhamkrauth,

all that matters is whether this committee produces new, important information. >> well, it is not just a matter of not wanting to cooperate with this sham as debbie wassermann schultz called it, but it is a matter of the they are not there, what is this becoming? it becomes the open forum for the republicans for days to attack the administration, andh to add a rebuttal, it is days and days of political theater, and benghazi seems like a lot of people who have paid attention on both sides and then a wide swath in the middle who know something about it, but not incredibly familiar with the details, but this and the midterms in 2016 obviously is going to come down to who is louder in trumpeting the view of the case. their view of the story, and that is how the story is going

to play out for a lot of the voters. >> and will there be a headline in some instances and the difference of what is new and significant and new, and it can be wide, and it does not necessarily mean that it can change what the conversation s and dafna, after the hearings and the documents released, what is a chance of there, there. because the republicans would argue that the recent e-mail that has brought all of this back into the news is there, there, and what are the chances that something new and potentially damaging coming out? >> well, this is the farce of the krauthammer article, facts are facts if you decide they are fact facts. everybody is looking for something on the conservative and the republican side to tar the administration for yet another election going into this midterms on this issue. there is a lot riding on it. but benghazi is like obamacare, and we have gone through ate few times and gone through the election with it, and i don't see it working out even though as i said, there is not much left for them to play with at

the moment. >> and a lot of the people who i talk to, the analysts say two thing things. it is going to fire up the base for the republicans in the midterms, and clearly that is what the republicans are aiming fork a for, because it is not going to bring in new voters, but obviously, 2016, and that is what mitt romney was talking about on "morning joe" and he said it does bring into question her tenure as secretary of state. >> i think that the record there for her is a substantial liability for her campaign in 201 2016. it is going to raise a lot of questions about her capacity to the accomplish things of significance on particular foreign soil. >> and so will they subpoena hillary clinton? >> well, i would not put it past him, but mitt romney know s ts this party is not great of prosecuting this election in a

election setting. >> but the head is a talented prosecution. >> yes, and trey gowdy is very talented prosecutor, and he is being underestimated and while the liberals are trying to paint him as somebody who is a flame throw thrower and tea party crazy person, and in fact, he is pretty serious. >> and maybe a little bit ambitious? >> just a little. just a little. but the important thing here for the republicans is to make it obviously, this is plitized a and -- politicized and they need the democrats to participate, because they need it to be legitimacy and not a partisan sides show. >> but there is a sense among the democrats a nervousness not just about this energizing the base, but i am sure you saw the big headline in politico, koch brothers $125 million they are going to pump into the midterms on the spending spree. and then you have on the other side of this, president obama who has been out and about and he is going to do it again to

derek and here is part of the message from the democratic fund-raiser last night? >> democrats have a congenital effect when it come ts to the politics, and that is we like voting in presidential years. >> yes. >> and in the midterms, we don't vote. >> we have to make sure that we are coming out with the same urgency and the same enthusiasm that we typically show during presidential years. and so the big question for the midterms becomes, can they and how do they do that? >> okay. so you want to know how you fire up the democratic base, here you go, you fund raise off of benghazi, and that is a great idea and as soon as the republicans do that, that is going to fire up the democratic base or the idea of subpoenaing the former secretary of state. i would love to see a table of the republican men out to question the secretary of state all over again on benghazi, and

that is a great idea. more of the war on women to fire up the democratic base. >> and more to come. and very interesting set of developments to derek and we will see what comes out of that meeting with the leadership on it. and we will hear from nancy pelosi again in the next hour. and mckay, and dafna, have a great weekend. checking the newsfeed this morning, and right now on c capitol hill, a house oversight subcommittee is meeting to talk about decriminalizing marijuana in the nation's capital. d.c. council made it legal to carry small amounts of pot, but congress has to sign off on it, because they don't have home rule. and the nba said it is going to be difficult to move on if donald sterling's wife, shelly sterling, does hang on to the team. meanwhile, new aid owe of donald sterling posted on radaronline. this has not been authenticated.

>> you think i'm a racist? you think i don't think somebody like that? you know i'm not a racist, and you can't force somebody to sell property in america. >> and again n h is the second round of the playoffs for the clippers. and more people are using two wheels instead of four to get to work. the census bureau says that commuting on a sbik up 61% compa compared to 200, and that is still 1% of total computers but it gets as high as 6% in portland and national ly, the number of people who walk to work sup 2%. and hunker down, because the weather channel says that the severe weather moving into the eastern part of the country with hail and high winds are expected in the parts of the ohio and lower mississippi valleys. more hail is expected in that area for mother's day on sunday. and more celebrities are lending voices to have an effort

for just $497. don't miss the memorial day sale. word this morning that fewer than ten uniformed u.s. troops will arrive in nigeria today to help in the search of nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped by the r terrorist group boko haram, and in washington, the house foreign affairs committee is marki inin legislation to call for an end of it. and also actors and actresses including angelina jolie is highlight i

highlighting the trafficking. >> we have to start arresting people for this and bringing them to justice and making it an absolute crime that puts fear in these men when they sort of think twice about this sort of action. >> and joining me now is msnbc contribu contributor and columnist for the grio, goalie taylo-- goldie taylor, and also malika saada saar, rights4girls. and ann curry is tweeting that asking for evidence that some or all of the girls can be found, and what you are seeing is john kerry's answer, too early to conclude, team arriving and difficult situation, and determined the do everything that we can to help. mal mali malika, are you optimistic here? because the clock is ticking. >> well, i'm optimistic and saddened that we are three weeks into the capture and the abdk

shun of the girls and only now seeing international attention and mobilization. so i am hopefult that moment, and i'm grateful for the attention that has finally been put on the lives of these girls. but i also am still saddened by the fact that it a has taken over e three weeks for any type of significant response on the part of the international community. >> and it is sort of been on two fronts, goal di, the world leaders and the u.n. and now as we see the house foreign affairs committee the, condemning what happened, and issuing statements on this. >> yes. >> but goldie, even as a united front, what is the impact? and the substantive stuff that has to get done here? >> well, it has to be impact and has to be done, because the message has to be sent throughout the globe that any time you target girls, because they want to go to school, there has to be an international response of condemnation. we have to be able to the say as

a global community, that the right to go to school for girls is a sacred right. >> and goldie, the root of the problem is trafficking. there are 1.2 million cases of global trafficking, and even they call that a gross underestimation, and people don't have birth certificates in a as many as 230 million e people, and we don't even know for sure the exact number. so we have talk ted about the activism to stop human trafficking, and is this what it is going to take to stop it? >> well, i am like malika, i am hopeful, but not optimistic. we need to get the multinational resources necessary to retrieve these girls, and atlanta is the

hub of the united states in terms of the trafficking of young girls, and we cannot even stop it here within our own bord borders, and so it is time for us to step up. but the time to step up on boko haram was back when we added them to a terror listk and we did not. we did not add them to the list which locked our hands in terms of what with to do internationally, and it is time to make up for that, and we have to go get those girls and bring them home. >> and part of it is what angelina jolie said which is to send a message to the men, because they are going to be found and prosecuted and nigeria's military released a statement saying that the armed services are focused on rescuing the girl and defeating the boko haram, and they will be effectively prosecuted, but the statistics of unicef, goldie, for every 800 victims, only one person is convicted, so that is telling us a lot about the climate that boko haram and

others are working? >> yes, i want men like boko haram to be running for the rest of their lives after committing crimes like this against young girls, but the arrest and the prosecution, and the investigation is impeded by the young girls themselves, the girls held captive and traumatized physically and mentally and we have to begin to put the services in place to help the young girls to come into their own and participate in the investigation and the prosecution to put some of the men and women by the way behind the bars where they belong. >> and malika, you tweeted out an article can from the des moines register about trafficking here in the united states, and it had startling statistics that pimps can make up to $75,000 a week. and so when people ask where these girls are going, and who would buy them, and in some cases, it is as brides and slaves, but it is mostly sex slaves and tell us what we need to know about how the traffickers operate, and how

prevalent it is in the united states which may get some people to wake up here. >> so what we know in the u.s. is between 200 to 300,000 american children are at risk for being trafficked. here's the thing, when angelina jolie talks about demand for underaged girls for sex and the need to create a culture hoff crime and punishment for any person who buys a child for sex, we have to look here at home. so at home here in the u.s., there has not been a systemic approach to arresting and prosecuting those who buy underaged girls. we call these men johns. a term from the bible. very few of them, regardless of where they are in the country are actually arrested and prosecuted for buying girls for sex. we don't prosecute these individuals for statutory rain, child endangerment, and sexual

assault of the minor, and rarely do we see these individuals put behind bars for the act of child rain. so what we have to say at home, and internationally is that not only do we go after traffickers, but we also have to go after the perpetrators who buy children for sex. we cannot maintain a culture of impunity for the very buyers of the children. >> and thank you both for that important conversation, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. and now we go to e fphoenix where there is an a special investigation into the veterans administration. and late last night, johnny football is a cleveland brown, and does my hometown the finally have a sports savior? seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere!

affairs committee will be testifying after he was questioned about the scandal of the veterans affair continues to grow. he is ordering an update from all of the centers after 40 veterans died waiting for care in a phoenix hospital. >> this is an elaborate scheme to cover up the patient wait problem is that we had a huge demand and relatively limited supply of service. >> and jennifer bjorklund is there for us this morning. >> well, john mccain, a veteran and former prisoner of war is holding a forum across the street at noon local time for the veterans to air their concerns about the crisis that is happen iing at their v.a.

hospital, and in anticipation of the event, many gathered last night to talk about the crisis. some actually supporting the va which has become notorious for the long delays and the backlog and the several hospital whistle-blowers claim that in an effort to improve the performance record, they say that thousands be diverted to a secret list that is not to be supported and if those patients died, their names would d disappear, and this is alleged to have happened to up to 40 patients. secretary of veteran affairs eric shinseki has issued outragoutrage and outrage and ainnger at thes investigations, and he says he does not plan to step down. chris? >> well, jennifer bjorklund, in phoenix wrishgts is an

interesting forum hosted by senator john mccain. our question this morning, how far would you go the get out of an uncomfortable situation? well, wait until you hear what two college students tried to do to get out of final exams. tell u which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i like the fact i can go onto angie's list and look for pediatricians. the service providers that i've found on angie's list actually have blown me away. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

(anncr vo) innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. just about half an hour from now sh now, we will hear from nancy pelosi about the way for democrats forward about benghazi, and they were on the way into a meeting this morning, and here is steve israel. >> as long as it is at the end of the day, and it is truly a bipartisan and fair and reasonable inquiry, and not a witch hunt h, and not a republic can campaign strategy, we will participate. >> and we are waiting for them to come out of the meeting to decide what to do about this meeting and if they will boycott or participate and if so how many members. we will give you the update as soon as we have it. and meanwhile, there is a

tribute video out there that has gone viral with 8 million hits and counting. people at cars.com set up interviews with people they thought was going to be operations director. >> we are looking for someone who might have a degree in medicine and finance and culinary arts, and you will have to wear several hats and sometimes they have to stay up with an eassociate overnight. >> and you have to live in the chaotic. >> and you will have no life, and give up thanksgiving and christmas and on holidays the workload goes up, and the position is going to pay nothing. >> what? >> what if i told you that there is somebody who holds this position right now? billions of peel rig s of peop >> who? >> moms. >> yeah? >> moms. >> that is awesome.

>> yay. >> speaking to all of the points in that sentimental video, salary.com has released the annual calculation of what mom is worth, and factoring in all of the time, and the annual salary of almost $119,000. now, for working mothers the annual working salary from at work and home come out to $70,0 $70,000, and these numbers and that video offer a reality check. moms are increasingly the seo seoul -- the sole or primary breadwinners and still seek issing a lack of pay and ma t n maternity leave. i want to bring in sara james from the american center for progress, and also kristen gross who is the executive founder of moms rising. good morning both of you. >> good morning. >> and the big lead off, kristen, what is the take away? >> well, one of the takeaways is that moms are some of the most

undervalued people in our nation, but they are providing a tremendous economic boost and raising our next generation, so we need to take more time to value moms and to look at the public policies that we need to put in place to catch up our labor force and nation to the modern labor force that is 50% women for the first time in history with 3/4 of moms in the labor force and i want to say something important really quickly which is right now, maternal status or being a mom is a greater prediction of wage discrimination than gender. so not only is it work that is not only inside of the home being undervalued, but the same outside of the home. >> and it is going to change dramatically, because the new careers according to the career builder survey, 31% of the women are the breadwinners of the

household, and dads who are the sole breadwinners are four times more likely to have earnings of six-figure thans the moms who are the sole breadwinner. and 38% of those who are working outside of the home are moms who are the sole financial pro pry or the and so what is the -- proprietor, and so what is the impact? >> well, the impact is huge, and bottom line is that women are choose ing choosing to go into the careers that pay less money, but the choices are con strabed by the workplace benefits. like you said that the families have changed dramatically in the last couple of generations, but the workplace policies have not kept up. and so what we will see is that women who have the majority of the responsibility of caring for the women and the household and end up taking lower paid jobs or the paid leave or the flexibility if they are lucky or oftentimes end up losing the job, because the child is sick and no guarantee for the sick

days, and fired because they have to the leave to pick up their child from school. the fact that the workplace policys have not kept up with the reality of the lives is not only a problem for the individual families, but the the economy at large, because it is depressing wages which has the negative impact in the tough economic times. >> and i wonder if worrying about the impact of the job and the worry of getting fired is behind the next number which i have to say surprised me. more than one-third of working moms said they did not take the full maternity leave, and so 22% took one month or less, and 11% took two weeks or less, and 10% said they worked during maternity leave, and what is going on here, kristen? >> well, right now the united states of america is out of step in terms of the access to paid family leave. those numbers a that you are reading right now are about unpaid leave n. the united states of america, only 12% of the people have access through paid leave through their employers and the world is much

different. 177 countries allow access to paid leave for new moms, and what that means is that having a baby in the united states of america is now a leading cause of poverty felt, so many people across the country are having a baby off of the economic cliff and entering into a downward economic spiral. and we have found that paid leave has enormous benefits not just to the economy, but families. having access to paid leave lowers infant mortality by as much as 20%. >> and so how is this part of the political part, activism that we know that women vote in larger percentages than men do, and they are powerhouses out, there and that is why in every election, they are targeted. >> well, there is a lot of movement around the issues right now, and we are starting to see it with rhode island just recently passed paid family leave, and following steps in

new york and new jersey. and new york was one of the biggest wins that we veen recently, and california state has a paid sick days piece of legislation introduced right now, and so there is a lot of movement on the state and the local level around these issues, but people know they are important, and there is also legislation in congress that the paycheck fairness act, and the family act, and the ability to be paid when every parent has an ability to have time the off with the birth of a baby, and these are issues that are going to aid every part of america. >> and thank you both to come in today. >> thank thanks. >> vladimir putin is saying right into the heart of ukraine, and this is his first visit since taking over crimea, and

praised the return to russia even as the pro russian separatists are calling on putin to the postpone the referendum on self-rule. all of this at the outrage of the international community saying that this could lead to civil war, but has it a already start started? joining me is senator chris murphy of connecticut. good morning, e senator. >> good morning. >> and i don't know if you shhaa chance to see the pictures of the huge crowds and vladimir putin coming in on a yacht and the pageantry, and it is hard for americans to believe that he is going to change the way he does business? >> well, it is great to have context in which he left them. he left them in the value of the currency and the stock market has plummeted and the new economic evidence is that they are in recession, and other countries like ukraine and moldova are looking to join the

international union of being kicked out. so i get it when people are parading around crimea, this is a sense of strength, but for right now, this is a crisis for the russian e domestic policy and international policy, and it is important to sort of view all of the actions in crimea and eastern ukraine in that prism. >> and one more piece of evidence that may be driving this in some part which is if you look at the poll spolls, an popularity seems to be higher than ever, and if they continue this aggression towards ukraine, and obviously, and not occupation which would carry a high price tag to moscow, and do you believe that putin believes that it is better to keep ukraine smoldering rather than burst into flames. >> well, he clearly has the strategy and done in places like georgia and moldova where he is going to keep enough instability so that there is not an appetite on the part of europe or nato to join into the alliances, but

ultimately, his popularity has been temporary, and after the burst of nationalism, people are going to come to the sober understand i understanding that the deal they have come with putin is expiring, and putin said, we will give you economic stability, and if you look at the fact that we have been able to speak freely or mobilize, and once this economy hurts people with layoffs and big numbers of unemployment, then people will not be excited about the fact that political rights are taken away. and we have played the cold war because of the long game, but it is a bumpy moment for the relationship with russia and the crisis in ukraine, but it is a bad strategy with respect to putin's domestic politic, and the efforts to keep the stability in his own nation. >> and let me turn to the d domestic poll sick ticks, because mitt romney weighed in

this morning on "morning joe" about minimum wage which is very important to you. >> i think that we should raise the minimum wage, because frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay, and communicating that is important to us. >> and now, in the past romney has said that raising the minimum wage should be tied to inflation, but do you have any realistic hope that more republicans will go the way of mitt romney and support raising the minimum wage? >> well, certainly does not look like there is a lot of hope in the united states senate, as we got one republican senator to vote with us on raising the minimum wage. but it is telling that all of the republican presidential candidates who lost from tim pawlenty to mitt romney have g figured out that part of the reason they lost is that they are not speaking to the vast middle of america on the issue of the stagnant wages. mitt romney lost because people didn't think that he was on their side. and republicans are going to be in for i think a it goitougher n

november if that they don't right their way for the minimum wage and the pay equity for women, and on a host of issues that they are so radically out of step with middle america. and this is a growing political crisis for them even though the bigger problem is that it is a bigger economic crisis for all of the folks who are essentially suing in the stagnant wages and the lost employment benefits because of the republicans' inability to work with us in the senate. >> if i could end on a more optimistic note, sunday is mother's day, and i want to put up a picture that you tweeted, and what mom loans her car to the 18-year-old son and friends who drive to alaska and back -- mine. that is you on the left, and what is with the spare tire on the roof of the car? >> well, yeah, when you drive through the bumpy roads of alaska and canada, we were told that you had to have a spare tire, and what that picture doesn't show is that we didn't wash the car once for a month of

driving and i was in trouble for a long period of time of not washing the car. my mom did not loan it to me since. >> and when was this? >> it was when the month between college and graduation and my friend and i decided to go and come back, and it was a wild time, but my mom's generosity had its limits af that trip. >> come back, and we will talk about the wild time he had in the freshman year, but happy mother's day to your mom, and all moms. >> happy mother's day. >> yes. and speaking of the moms on the mother's day, the "wall street journal" decided to check in and see which of the first ladies of the past 25 years is most admired. laura bush is 24%, and then is michelle obama, and then the tie

talk about major ak cquisitn could be music to the ears of apple, and mandy drury is here with what is moving your money. and apple on the verge of buying beets electronics and how big of a move would this be for us? >> well, it would be a big deal if it does come true, because the reports are saying it is a $3.2 billion and beats electronics is the headphone maker, and the music streamer distributor and founded by the hip-hop star dr. dre and record producer jimmy levine, and talks could still fall apart, but if the deal does go ahead, what would we get and apple get? firstly, apple's largest purchase ever, and get the

headphones and the music and the speakers and the streaming service to add to the apple digital music players and itune store thes as well, but what is interesting is that apple does not normally buy the technology, because it creates its own revolutionary products and maybe suggests here a little different strategy here, fa shg, and if i buying the beats maybe they should go whole hog and buy pandora and own the whole space, but everybody has views and it is going to be interesting to e see how far they go with the acquisition. >> and maybe it is the acknowledgment that the ear budd s never stay in, and they need to look elsewhere. thank you, cnbc's mandy drury. >> thank you. >> and it is one of the world's biggest events and pretty much all of the nfl draft is the hollywood story of johnny manziel, and aka johnny manz

fomanziel, johnny football is going to go to the place where he we saw the last savior take his talents to south beach. so we will go to talk to the chairman of the 15 minutes of public relations, howard bragman, and let's talk about this man. i'm from cleveland and we are not just pitied by the football, but the best nba player ever left for south beach, so how do you manage this? >> well, if you are johnny manziel, you have to do a couple of things, accept where you were placed and embrace it, because was you frankly don't have another choice, and that is the way that the draft works. and everybody has to be aware that this guy who is the 22nd pick is the most buzzed guy on social media. >> that has changed a things a

lot, too, hasn't it, because it is only the last half dozen of drafts or so that social media played a a role in the star making? >> absolutely. it is eye rironic, and we are n talking about the number up with pick or the top pick, but the 22nd pick. >> yeah. >> and it is a great thing for cleveland, and cleveland can use a hero right now sh, as you kno along with my lions, and it is one of four teams who have never been to the super bowl, and he is a big fish in a small pond and you have to embrace that. real estate is real inexpensive for cleveland and about $300, you can buy a great house on the lake. >> and you know what is not cheap? those ticket, because you won't get the season tickets that i gave up of 11 years a browns' season ticket holder, and this is one of my many pieces of well worn sweatshirts, and they will sell a gazillion of these with

miz na his name on it, and go back to the nfl store. >> and yes, they have sold thousands, and also i have to say i am in my cleveland browns blazer. >> and also michael sams could be the first openly gay man drafrted in the nfl, and how do you -- pardon the pun -- keep the eye on the football, because unless they are winning and successful, the story is going to go away except for somebody else who did not quite make it. >> well, my term in football terms is to block for them, and keep the distractions out of the way and let them know kus on playing football and let the publicist publicists and the agent agents handle all of the rest of the stuff. >> spoken like a real publicist, and howard bragman, thank you for getting up early today. >> go browns. >> thank you. and the best political ad ever, and here is the tease, alligator wrestling. stick around. i see how you've been investing.
