pelosi reportedly viewing cantor's fall with almost glee. it's a chance to change the conversation and highlight disarray across the aisle. there's also, of course, the impact on issues for both parties and that means immigration reform. the conventional wisdom, cantor is not the only casually here with headlines like this suggesting that the loss kills imgrakz reform. president obama at a fund-raiser begging to differ, saying, quote, some of the conventional wisdom talks about oh, the politics of immigration reform seem impossible now and i fundamentally reject that. what is the reality when it comes to immigration reform? joining me, nicholas kristof and ruth marcus. they were interns together. >> that was the most impressive -- how among pulitzer

prizes do you have among you, but i digress. let's talk immigration reform? what is the conventional wisdom here? is the president correct? how does eric cantor, what happened to him and the scramble mean for immigration reform? >> i don't think it had -- >> i'm sorry. go ahead, nick. >> i don't think it had much of a chance before and i think it has less of a chance this year, frankly. >> is this what it was like when the two of you were going at each other when you were interns? >> he was the greatest colleague of all time. he was a great fellow intern and i'm sorry that the washington post didn't get to keep him, but they're stuck with me. nick's totally right. the president could say that he fundamental willy lrejects thi notion and if you'll be president for the next couple of years you need to keep fighting for what you believe in, but you might as well say you fundamentally reject the laws of gravity because immigration reform had a very slim chance

previously. now unless the republican party has some kind of cantor defeat, it is not likely to happen any time soon. >> look who else disagrees with you, ruth. senator dick durbin who was just on with chuck on "the daily rundown". >> i was watching! >> let me play that. >> let me just say point-blank, chuck. call the senate immigration bill on the floor of the house of representatives and it will pass. in this district, the 7th district of virginia that eric cantor lost tuesday night in his prime s, 72% of the voters in the exit poll said they supported comprehensive immigration reform. there is a spin by those who don't want to see reform. that's what the issue is all about. >> who is spinning here i guess is the question. >> yeah. i think the basic problem is that the republican party is in this awkward position and is in a tradeoff and it's good for the national party to pass

immigration reform, but for any given member of congress you're concerned about an attack from the right and it especially after what happened to cantor you wouldn't want to go down that path. >> there are a lot of people who said that cantor's position. and there was a poll that suggested asking virginia voters in that district, a couple of different ways if they support reform and the answer was yes to varying degrees. what they did not support was cantor himself and they gave him a dismal approval rating and the tea party patriot who is a huge supporter of the man who beat him, brad, echoed that sentiment. let me play that. >> it certainly was a factor, but it was not a determining factor by any stretch of the imagination and they were frustrated by how he was not communicating to his district. we got distance from the shocker. how much of it were people

saying while he was disconnected from his district and he was paying too much attention to leadership and how much of it was general discontent with what's going on in washington overall. >> i think you identify three factors and i am not in a position -- that were all at play here and it's clear, two things of the majority of americans support immigration reform and it may be that a majority of the voters in his district supported immigration reform, but i suspect that the ones who turned out did not have that view and as long as we have turnout among the extremes in both parties and not among the moderates, we're going to be stuck in this position that nick described very well. so whatever the exact ingredients of those that resulted in eric cantor's defeat, the reality is that it's going to be under stood and the impact on capitol hill is going to be to further lessen the chances. senator durbin is right that if

the bill were a senate bill on the house floor that it would pass, but that also is not the reality of the rules of the house of representatives. quite unfortunately. >> you can't remove this discussion, nick, from what's going on at the border and when you see these thousands of children and you see what's going on in nogales, you have to wonder if this humanitarian crisis in our own country is not enough to push at least closer toward reform, what will will? >> i mean, that's exactly what it is, the humanitarian crisis? putting aside the politics and immigration. i've covered so many humanitarian crisis abroad and what we have right now because of instability and places like honduras and gat will mala is the escalation of unescorted minors. some of them very, very young crossing the border, 47,000 since october and, you know, we don't really have a system to deal with them. >> you could make a comparison in your head. what parent hasn't lost track of their kids, say, at a shopping mall or wherever, even in a

school yard that pick them up from school and you're waiting for them and that moment, now, imagine you're a parent and your kid has crossed the border. you don't know where they are. i mean, it boggles the mind. >> in honduras i talked to a mom once who had sent her daughter to texas and then the daughter disappeared and she was frantic. she just had no idea what had happened to her daughter and i wrote the name of the daughter in a will column hoping that somebody would say oh, that just happens on a vast scale all across central america. and all of this also comes at the same time that hillary clinton is rolling out her book and this has taken some of the attention and eric cantor has taken the attention from pretty much everything, but she did talk about eric cantor's loss and i'll play that. >> the second-ranking republican in the house was defeated by a candidate who basically ran against immigrants and his argument was this. there are americans out of work

so why should we allow immigrants into our country to take those jobs? i think that's a fair -- i think that's a fair question, but the answer is not to throw out of work and deport the 11 million americans who are contributing already to our economy. >> i want to go back to the immigration reform, but you've been writing about this and following it, ruth, and i want to ask you about hillary and her rollout and what it means for her in 2016. is there a headline for you coming out of this? >> for me, the headline is just listening to everything that she's saying. leaving little hints in the books it reenforces my conviction that she is highly likely to run in 2016 and that she will be the dominant, democratic candidate in the race and if you kind juxtapose that with the further turmoil that the republican party finds itself in, think about what a

jeb bush is thinking about as he contemplates a 2016 run with the cantor result. it is an outcome that probably makes democrats happier than it does republicans. >> and that's a live shot, by the way, that we're showing of hillary clinton at the council of foreign relations and we've seen an awful lot of her in recent days and i do listen to what he says. it's very difficult for republicans because in an individual district it gets very dicey, but when you look at 2016 and the demographic shift and it's hard to ignore immigration reform, how big is this going to be as we pass this election? and i'm talking about 2014. >> i mean, there's certainly growing pressure on the republican party to address this as the demographics in this country change. i also, though, wonder if indeed this issue, and it becomes, whether within the republican

core and unacceptable the litmus test of party loyalty. and to actual willy move ahead on the reform. >> good friends competitors in their youth. >> checking the news feed this morning. congress is one step closer to sending a bill to the president th and the senate passed 93-3 that mirrors the house bill allowing vets to seek care outside the v.a. system. bernie sanders says he is certain he can work with the house to come to an agreement soon. >> not as much success in the senate on a bill that would make it easier for students to refinance their loans like homeowners can do with their mortgages. bill sponsor elizabeth horn, she told chris hays last night that the legislative failure is outrageous. >> you stand with those who have

already made it big or do you stand with those who are just trying to get a fair shot and try to build something for their future. >> warren says she'll re-introduce the bill by the end of the summer. the u.s. military has resumed drone strikes in pakistan just days after the taliban attack on the karachi airport. at least 16 militants were killed in the troubled northern waziristan tribal region. security officials say the victims were are part of the haqqani network responsible for kids napping bowe bergdahl in 2009. today the world cup begins in brazil. 32 countries competing including the u.s., although the american coach gave a realistic assessment. we aren't going to win, he says. the first game is this afternoon, brazil versus croatia. not everybody is happy about the tournament. protesters are planning to disrupt the games saying the $11.5 billion should have spent on education and housing opinion two airports are on strike in

. right now the senate arms services committee is receiving a classified briefing on the escalation of of violence in iraq. the government there is in a state of shock after a violent islamic militant group has taken over mosmosul, the country's largest city. ramadi and fallujah. half a million people are fleeing fighting that is so intense some iraqi police have been abandoning their posts. the government there is now asking that the u.s. launch air

strikes to help them fight back. nbc's richard engel who has covered the war since it began is in iraq with the latest. >> this very aggressive islamic group is continuing its advance. today it promised to march on baghdad and it is following through at least in part its forces have arrived about 100 miles north of baghdad. the iraqi government so far has been powerless to stop it. the government, and the prime minister malaki has called on average citizens to take up arms, an act, it seems of desperation. he is also calling on the united states once again to become militarily involved in iraq. malaki asking for assistance from the u.s. flying combat missions, drones, intelligence, whatever it takes to stop the advance of isis. an al qaeda offshoot. some say it is even more radical than al qaeda. the iraqi government so far has

been ordering the army divisions from the south to move in this direction, to move into northern iraq where most of this fighting is now taking place, but so far a lot of the iraqi troops aren't fighting and when they come to combat they are stripping off their uniforms and abandoning their positions allowing the militants to get stronger because the militants are seizing money. they're seizing weapons and they're continuing this fight. richard engel, nbc news, erbil, northern iraq. let's bring in congresswoman jacqui speier, good morning. >> good morning, chris. congratulations to you, by the way, on your new position. >> oh, thank you very much. you just heard what richard had to say that these new areas under militant control in iraq become the new breeding ground to launch terror attacks on the u.s. just as afghanistan was prior to 9/11. so what should we do? >> well, certainly, we need to help stabilize the country.

we have been providing them training. we have been providing them f-16s and apache helicopters. we should speed up that delivery and the exit tent to which we can help with air strikes and drones with no boots on the ground, i think a good decision. i think we would really need to reassess whether or not our engagement would extend beyond that. >> airstrikes, what would need to happen for you to say yes, let's get involved to that level? >> i think what we need to hear is tactically, how it would be done and how effective it would be and would we be using drones? those are the kinds of questions that i would want to have answers to. >> is part of your calculous when we've put in there, 4400 u.s. deaths in iraq. $2 billion. do we need to -- sorry, to almost $2 trillion. do we need to do something to preserve those hard-fought

gains? >> there's certainly that consideration. beyond that, lives were lost and lives were lost in part to troy to secure iraq as a stable nation. so restoring stability there, i think is in our downry's best interest, but we have to be circumspect and certainly careful about how we do engage. meantime the bowe bergdahl prisoner exchange put chuck hagel in the crosshairs yesterday. he defended the administration's actions and that hearing, as you know, got contentious at times including this exchange with congressman jeff miller. >> you're trying to tell me that he's being held at landstuhl, germany, because of his medical condition? >> congressman? i hope you're not implying anything other than that. i'm. >> i'm just asking the question, mr. secretary. >> i'm going to give you the answer, too. >> answer it. >> he's being held there because our medical professionals don't believe he's ready until they believe he is ready to take the

next step of rehabilitation. >> and a little later in that hearing, congresswoman, you seemed to take some offense to that line of questioning. let me get your thoughts on that. >> well, i found it to be reprehensible that we would not want the appropriate medical care to be provided as long as it needs to be provided to a soldier that we have just recovered as a p.o.w. who was in captivity much of that time, or some of that time in a box and give him the opportunity to be the recipient of all of the health care he needs. he will come back to this country. we will have all of the time necessary to evaluate him and to determine whether or not there were violations of the uniform code of military justice, but give him the opportunity to heal. >> are there, in the interim though, some questions that you think whether publicly or behind closed doors need to be looked at.

we are learning details about bowe bergdahl. the washington post obtained his handwritten journal and other writings. the associated press found his facebook page. both show a young man who wrote about a struggle to maintain a kind of mental equilibrium. clearly, what was going on in his life and going on at war was disturbing to him and we also learned that before joining the army he was discharged from the coast guard uncharacterized, but discharged from the coast guard and they would not confirm whether it was related to any psychological reasons. did these details bring up any larger issues for you, if nothing else, about recruiting someone who left the coast guard and then went into the army in a war zone? >> we do know in 2008 recruiters were taking people that historically would be not fit for military service. people who had criminal records because there was such a need because of the volunteer military service that we took people who were willing to come

and serve. so there is that population within the military that probably would not be sought today to serve. now, separate from this, did bowe bergdahl suffer from ptsd in captivity? certainly he's had many challenges that are psychological. i'm not a psychiatrist. i don't think jeff miller is. i think we should leave that to the professionals. >> let me ask you, finally, because these new questions are being raised about a perceived threat from al qaeda related to what's going on in iraq. you also had at that hearing concerns raised about these five taliban detainees who were released and whether they pose any kind of threat to americans abroad. what is your take on this exchange and do you feel that the level of threat has been mitigated to a sufficient degree? >> well, i did ask secretary hagel a question about how are we tracking them in qatar, and he said that he really needed to

talk about that in a classified setting. we haven't had that briefing yet, but i do think that we have to make sure that we keep our eyeballs on them all the time. we did get a cia assessment that provided the administration with the confidence that they were not a threat to the homeland. i would like to hear more about that in a classified setting. >> congresswoman, it's great to have you on the program. thank you so much for coming on. >> my pleasure. a programs note for you. tomorrow you won't want to miss ronan farrow's interview with angelina jolie to talk about her crusade to stop sexual violence on women in war. that's tomorrow on msnbc. 20 years my colleague brian williams went on the air to talk about an infamous white bronco and o.j. simpson. >> for a time last night it all became surreal. millions watched his unraveling on live television.

>> o.j. simpson is in that bronco. o.j. according to chp has a gun to his head. >> there is a circus atmosphere surrounding the chase. local citizens, rooting for simpson. >> the way america watches television coming up. how are things with the new guy? all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great...what? he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. so he's just racking up points with me. some people... ugh! no, i've got it.

in the halls of congress in the wake of eric cantor announcing he's stepping down as majority leader. house republicans will vote on majority lead are one week from today, june 19th. let me bring in political analyst and ed rendell and msnbc political analyst and former rnc chairman, michael steele. >> good morning, chris. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> you heard the hyperbole. it's a seismic shift. so let me get your take if there is a richter scale and we know there isn't one anymore, is this, michael, 3.0, things are falling off the wall. 5.0, houses are collapsing and 10.0, san francisco fell into the ocean. what's going on in washington? this is like an 8.5. this is a pretty big deal because it not only has national implications for upcoming elections and all of the rheaume

nations about what that may mean, chris. it has even more to say about what's going on inside the gop with its base, with members and again, the tea party argument going back to 2009 about folks who come to washington and absolutely lose their mind and get hooked up in the whole glam of power and money and prestige and forget the folks who sent them there and like elizabeth dole and bob bennett of utah. congressman cantor now realizes, oh, i guess the voters back home do matter and they -- they have made -- sent a very clear signal not just about paying attention to us, but from the tea party side of this as they said to me at the end of my term, we helped elect a republican congress and we can help unelect one, as well if they don't stay true to principle. so there are a whole lot of of pieces at the bottom of this

that will continue to bubble up. >> are they pieces that the democrats can work to their advantage. they're not holding formal meetings and how do we capitalize on this even though are fund-raising off of it and the the rift that it exposses in the republican party and how many little happy dances are going on in the democratic party and is that wise? >> i'm not sure there are any happy dances going on. it certainly presents a problem for the republicans, and i think michael identified that pretty clearly. >> which makes the democrats happy, does it not? >> to a degree, and i'll tell you why we're not all that happy and 2016, i think, is the biggest problem. if the republican party perceived now if every republican congressman believes that saying anything positive about immigration reform is toxic, that will be to the detriment of the republicans in 2016, no question about it. i think more than 2014, and i'm sure michael will agree. the reason we're not doing any

dances is because i think we go to washington, we go to harrisburg to govern and one of the most important things on the agenda is comprehensive, rational immigration reform and i think what happened on tuesday night makes achieving that a whole lot harder and not impossible and a whole lot harder and for me that makes me sad because this country needs a sound immigration reform bill. >> achieving anything will depend in part on who is replacing eric cantor. yesterday he endorsed majority whip kevin mccarthy in california. let me play that. >> i don't know whos that will actually be running. i can tell you that my dear friend kevin mccarthy does decide to run i think he'd make an outstanding majority leader and i will be backing him with my full support. >> the national journal reports that mccarthy met with 35 lawmakers to help support his bid. say you're kevin mccarthy or

frankly, anyone else who wants this job, take us inside what's going on right now. you've got a week. what are you and your staff up to? >> this is the key thing that the vote is taking place in a week, so what that says to the conservative bench is that you do not have the time on organize. kevin mccarthy along with cantor and others in leadership have been in this soup with members for a long time where they've laid out a lot of favors and done a lot of things that he's now going to cash in on. the vote count is starting and pete sessions are at an acute disadvantage because of the clock. they started the clock now. again, cantor is not stepping down until july 31st and so you will have this interruption where you will have a majority leader and a majority leader in waiting and this is designed to keep the conservatives at bay so they do not get the momentum to elect one of their own. someone like a jim henserling who a lot of conservatives like.

just a quick point, i don't want to hear from anyone in the party complaining about the republican leadership. if you want to conservative leadership then elect it. why come to washington and play the inside game and sit back on the bench and let things happen because oh, we don't have the time or the votes. organize, if you want jim henserling to be the majority leader then organize, and that's what you're seeing and a lot of the conservative blogs and the frustration that yet again the leadership is rolling over the conservatives in the house with the clock and the timing of all of this. >> what you are seeing is hen r henserling and pete sessions who may provide real competition here and let's look at the democratic side, governor sxshg it was interesting to me as i was reading a lot of interviews with the virj virng parents and just voters about people who had voted the way they did and they felt that somehow eric cantor had become disconnected and he was too tied to the democrats

that he wanted to -- it is so interesting that someone with a 96% conservative rating was considered to be too close to the obama administration and too willing to work with them on certain issues. is there somebody in there who could realistically get this post who would work with the democrats, governor? >> i think it's going to be next to impossible given these election results, and it's staggering to hear your report, chris, that anybody would think that eric cantor was too close to president obama or worked too closely with president obama. eric cantor was part of the obstructionist congress that has thwarted any progress, for example, on jobs. the president offered a jobs bill in august of 2011 and that jobs bill contained proposals that the republicans had backed before and virtually none of them got even to a vote. eric cantor didn't bring them to a vote. to say that eric cantor worked with president obama, that's saying that you can't have any discussions with the president

of the united states and what type of government is that? i mean, we're going crazy down in washington when the litmus test is eric cantor, too close to president obama? it's a frightening thing. >> former governor ed rendell, michael steele, always learn stuff from you guys and always great having you on the program. >> welcome to washington, chris. >> thank you. see you there. >> checking the news feed. another shooting to tell you about this morning and it's in a place you want to think is safe. a priest is dead, another in critical condition after an attack in a catholic church in phoenix. officers were responding to a call about a burglary when they found the two priests. they located a car they were looking for, but still no sign of the shooter. this morning reynolds high school in oregon has canceled finals and they'll soon arrange for studenting to pick up backpacks and other items left behind when a gunman opened fire tuesday. police say 15-year-old jaret padgett brought his gun to a

secured area in his school. he brought them in a duffel bag. emilio hoffman just happened to run into padgett in a locker room as he was suiting up for the attack and that is when he shot him. we're also getting a look at the surveillance video in the moments before amanda miller died. amanda pointed their gun at jaret which is why they initially thought she shot him. thea ut op see showed a police bullet killed jaret. three times since they moved to las vegas in january and the last coming a week before sunday's rampage. officers found no probable cause at that time for arrest. a stunning new report says one major household appliance is causing americans to waste billions of dollars each year in energy cover thes. cnbc's courtney reagan is here with what's moving your money. what appliance?

how much money? >> it's the dryer. we're wasting $4 billion a year with our clothing dryers. the report says a typical electric dryer can consume as much energy per year as an efficient new fridge, washing machine and dish washer's energy use combined. part of the problem is the government has an increased efficiency requirement for dryers at the same pace it has for other household appliances. in january that will change when efficiency standards actually do improve. if you have an electric dryer you'll be paying about $100 per year to run it compared to $40 per year, but to cut down on the cost wash your clothes in cold water and that will save time when you put it in the dryer, fill the drum and do two consecutive loads and take advantage when it's warmed up. >> from dryers to flyers. all coach carrier jetblue will add a business class? >> this is a bit of a departure from jetblue's previous strategy

which was offering one class of flying and it is offering premium sitting called mint on flights between l.a. to new york calling its take on business class mint rather than first class. the cost runs $599 to $999 each way. that's expensive, but well below competitors' rates for an equivalent class of flying. they're brand new planes and brand new designs and 16 lie-flat seats and four of them with doors and press the button for a massage and charging stations, storage areas and most exciting, free in-flight wireless. actually upgraded to allow video streaming. >> come on! >> i was on a plane last night, it took three hours to upload photos so i can't imagine how cool it would be to stream a video. >> watch a movie while getting a massage. cnbc's courtney reagan. >> we have breaking news and just got a statement and we were just talking about this obviously with michael steele

and ed rendell. this is from congressman jeb hensarling's office. he said he will not run as majority leader. although i am humbled by the calls, emails and conversations by my colleagues encouraging me to join the remainder of the congress, i will not be a candidate next week and so that leaves the race between the majority whip, kevin mckarthy and house rules committee chairman pete sessions, the republican from texas, obviously, if nobody throws their hat into the ring, but jeb hensarling, big news in the political world and we'll be right back. . it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away.

significant increase in heart attacks among women and an increase in atrial fibrillation, a heartbeat problem for both sexes. it is one of the iconic moments in television history, the white bronco chase of o.j. simpson. we are coming up on the 20th anniversary of that chase. it followed, of course, the murder of simpson's ex-wife nicole and her friend ronald goldman. there is an argument that it marked the beginning of reality tv and radically changed the news business. >> a long day's journey. a bizarre ending. o.j. simpson in jail tonight. tonight o.j. simpson is in a los angeles jail cell. >> the bronco heads north on interstate 405 pursued by dozens of police and media vehicles. >> we are right in front of o.j. simpson's vehicle, but we are about, i'd say, 200 feet in front of him. i can tell you that this is the most bizarre scene. >> i am joined now by howard bragman, vice chairman of reputation.com and chairman of 15 minutes public relations.

obviously, everyone is talking about it because the 20th anniversary and everyone from "vanity fair" and "30 for 30" on espn have argued that that bronco chase changed the course of television, kind of made reality tv. more viewers saw that slow-speed chase that year than saw the super bowl. what was the impact? >> its real impact was that all of a sudden the people that run tv networks said oh, my god. we have eyeballs. we have this thing that's getting eyeballs, and i would argue not so much reality, but unscripted tv. breaking news, the cable news networks in their infancy suddenly had something and you even look at reality like the kardashians and kim's father was o.j.'s attorney. so there's definite dna in reality tv there. >> what was it about that? we couldn't stop watching it. i mean, people were breaking away from what was it? the nba finals? and we just couldn't keep our

eyes off of it it. >> we had one of the biggest stars in the world and o.j., it was news, it was sports. it was celebrity. it was murder. you couldn't write this. you couldn't make this a realistic story up. >> you know. you've known o.j., right? >> yeah. >> i look at it now and obviously he's been in prison. i covered his trial for a burglary that eventually landed him in prison. what do you think led to his undoing? >> well, i do a lot of what we call litigation support where i'm working on a legal case and i'm doing the p.r. you have to win in the court of law which o.j. did initially. you also have to win in the court of public opinion and he didn't win there. most people still believe he was guilty and in the civil trial he was found guilty of the murder and it's when we learned in college psychology, cognitive disnance. you will pay one way or another. >> let's do our final reputation report that leads us well into that. eric cantor in his stunning

defeat in the republican primary. >> very interesting. eric cantor obviously, very big volume, trending about 2 to 1. >> twitter blew up that night. >> nobody was expecting this. his own polls had him 30-some points ahead, but you know, i want to sort of give everybody a little warning. we're talking about 30-some votes in one very isolated part of virginia and everyone is talking about an 8.5 on the richter scale. i think it's interesting, but i think one has to keep this in context. >> what about hillary clinton? she's on her book tour making the media rounds. >> hillary clinton has had, i would say, a fair week. a lot of volume. a lot of picking on hillary for saying we were broke when we left the white house now that they have a roreported net wort of over $100 million. that didn't play so well. the interviews and the ratings were fair on the interviews. they weren't great, and at the same time she's selling a lot of

books. i think it was number two on amazon last time i looked, but the reviews were about three stars. kind of mixed. they feel like a little pasteurized, the story we're getting and she has to be rejoicing in the eric cantor loss and meaning if she runs are for president her opponents will fall far to the right. >> let's talk about chris christie. he'll be on jimmy fallon. what's the social media verdict? >> it's a thus. the most interesting part of social media for chris christie now is his volume is incredibly low. he used to be the stalwart and the next republican presidential candidate and there's a lot of people in the republican party who still think he may get that -- high negatives and very high negatives and almost 75% in the ethical and business filters. he'll have a tough hill to climb. >> a let of analysts were calling this his rehabilitation
